Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

After receiving the power of faith and strengthening her divine authority, the goddess Sul became even more devoted to and supportive of Odin.

Afterwards, Odin recruited the moon god Mani, and after nightfall, he drove his moon chariot into the night sky.

Subsequently, more and more Aesir gods were recruited. Some corresponded to knowledge, some to wisdom, some to poetry, some to history, some to peace, some to war, power, wealth, hunting, fishing, harbors, love, marriage, childbirth, and so on.

The whole world is beautiful and thriving.

Unbeknownst to Odin, a certain man had already followed the first root of the World Tree—the branch from which the fate of humanity would be inscribed by the three goddesses of Norn—and arrived at a place connected to the future shared destiny of humankind.

Under a mysterious intuition, and with the World Tree's enormous trunk, Ye quickly discovered its location after traveling for only a short time.

World-famous painting – Odin is working hard, while night is stealing his home!

As the creator of the world, Odin gained the power to bestow divine offices, which was his greatest advantage in gaining the support of other gods even before he became the king of the gods.

He bestowed upon the gods corresponding divine offices everything he could think of.

As the number of gods increased, almost half of the gods who had survived since the end of creation had been recruited by Odin.

Odin still did not feel the opportunity to become the ruler of the world, and he began to wonder if he was still lacking something.

Finally, Odin suddenly understood.

That's right—! It's life! It's life! The gods created a brand new world together, but there are too few living beings on this land, and no one sings praises or affirms the gods' achievements?

That is why he, as a god-king, could not become the ruler of the world.

We really need to create a completely new race that is perfectly suited for reproduction!

At this point, Odin finally thought of creating humans, but the concept of the first human in the world had already been occupied by the night. Without the participation of the night, it was completely impossible for Odin to create Norse humans on his own.

Odin, completely unaware that he had fallen into a dead end, summoned the gods and proposed his idea of ​​creating a new race to praise and affirm the achievements of the gods.

All the gods agreed and supported it.

So the gods brought Odin a branch from the World Tree—'ash'—to help him.

Such vibrant branches will surely create a race with strong reproductive capabilities, filling this land with life.

However, when Odin gave life to the tree branch, intending to transform it into human form and endow it with a soul and gender, creating the first man in the world, an unexpected accident was about to occur.

Odin gave life and soul to the newborn race, while his two brothers within him gave them emotions and desires, and bestowed upon them appearance and language.

Then, in order to control the newborn race and have complete control, Odin wove together the life, death, health, wealth, and destiny of mankind, entrusting all of this to the three Fates of Vordar to manipulate.

Let the goddesses of fate weave, measure, and cut the threads of human destiny, determining the length of human life, the quality of health, and the amount of wealth.

To ensure everything went perfectly, all the gods cooperated with Odin in making thorough preparations.

However, Odin got stuck at the most crucial first step: giving the ash tree life and soul. No matter how much divine power he used, he could not give it life.

...Just as Odin was becoming anxious and confused.

The process itself is fine, but why can't 'human beings' be born?!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Night had already begun the process of conquering the World Tree.

As he gazed at the towering tree before him, an ash tree, also known as the World Tree of Northern Europe.

There is a legend that this tree was created by Odin, but this is probably not true.

If Odin created it, he wouldn't have needed to go to such great lengths to conquer and tame the tree.

But Ye, who personally witnessed the prologue of creation, is more inclined to believe that—at the moment of the world's creation, this tree was conceived along with the world. Naturally born and rooted in the earth, it became the foundation for maintaining the world's stability.

At this time, the World Tree did not yet have a name of its own. It remained ownerless!

Or rather—he is waiting for his true master to name him.

Night reached out and touched the tree trunk... feeling the surging life force emanating from the World Tree and its interior, which seemed to contain all the mysteries and infinite secrets of the Norse mythology world.

Faced with this boundless knowledge and mystery, Ye's longing grew even stronger—she had come to the right place!

Chapter Thirty-Two: Using the World Tree trunk as an altar, and oneself as a sacrifice, an Xyz Summoning is performed.

A tree that grows from the source of the oldest Norse mythology, a tree that grows with the concept of the world.

Although it will be called 'Yuktrashir' in the future, it is actually a name that has been unilaterally given by Odin.

The character 'Yuk' means great and frightening, and is also another name for Odin.

'Trashil' means horse, so the combination means Odin's horse, or the mount that Odin conquered, the king's chariot!

This originates from the myth that Odin, in order to conquer the World Tree, displayed the aura of a god-king, treating it as a wild horse to be tamed, and even risked his life to sacrifice himself to the world, offering the world a god-king!

In fact, this approach has a strong sense of self-recommendation.

If Odin hadn't originally possessed the potential to become the master of the world, this kind of bug-exploiting would probably have resulted in nothing more than a wasted life.

and so--

Only now does Ye realize how audacious and fanciful her previous idea of ​​taking a gamble and seizing the position of God King had been.

But it doesn't matter—at this moment, he has already obtained the credentials to challenge and conquer the world.

Named after 'fear', the name Yggdrasil always evokes fear in people.

Ye thought it was okay to give it a different name.

Or it could be called Nightstrashir, or Griffith Strashir, or something else entirely.

One binds the world with fear, the other guides it with freedom; which is superior or inferior is no longer important...

The priority now is to conquer the World Tree before Odin discovers it. Although he is currently very powerful, he is only at the peak of human physical strength. Without unleashing his full potential, he will still face trouble against Odin, who may have already gained the support of the Aesir.

Thinking of this—as the cold north wind swept in from behind the World Tree, as if it had sensed what Night was about to do, the World Tree in front of Night seemed to come alive, as if it were about to transform into an even colder winter and freeze everything.

In a daze—it seemed as if the night saw such an astonishing phenomenon on the World Tree!

That was the terrifying scene of his failed challenge and his eventual hanging from the World Tree.

The World Tree – the majesty of the Nordic world itself cannot be challenged by any living being.

Even the world's ruler chosen by destiny receives only ordinary treatment...

It is like a wild and untamed horse, not allowing any living being to try to ride on its head.

In the original myth, Odin was tortured beyond recognition and almost became a dried-up corpse in order to conquer it.

Night knew how terrifying it was. Even Odin, a hybrid of Aesir and Frost Giant blood, couldn't withstand the bone-chilling cold of the World Tree that froze the world. His newborn body, even the most powerful human heroes, seemed weaker than an infant in comparison.

Want to give up?

For him, this trial was far more difficult than that of Odin in the original story.

But—without hesitation, and without even considering the thought of retreating.

Ye leaped into the air, simultaneously grasping and conjuring the concept of the Holy Lance in his hand.

Then--

Boom! Like a meteor striking out, the divine spear was hurled into the sky and suddenly released. The next moment, the spear of light spun back at an even faster speed and pierced through the body of the night.

Pfft!

The Holy Lance pierced Night perfectly, then slammed him into the World Tree, causing the massive trunk to tremble and rumble. Night was then impaled on the tree.

His body was now hanging upside down, his beautiful, divine silver-white hair cascading down. Although his body was pierced, his expression was perfectly calm, as if he were not suffering, but undergoing a sacred trial.

And so, with one hand hanging straight down pointing to the ground and the other hand resting on his forehead and eyes slowly closed, his body was said to be pierced through the tree, but it looked more like he was doing an upside-down sit-up. He was pressed against the World Tree in a strangely beautiful posture, as if he were lying on the World Tree, taking a nap or falling asleep.

Perhaps due to the blessing of various Greek gods within him, Ye's physical body was transformed into a divine appearance with silver hair, exuding a sense of holiness. Ironically, his body, though clearly forged from the most filthy and cursed blood, evoked a feeling of holiness.

Night knew that what followed would be several days and nights of cold and continuous bleeding.

He needs to comprehend the primordial runes of the Norse world—the control code of the Norse world—in this process to be qualified to become the master of this mainframe, the GM! To become—the administrator of the Norse world! The master of the world! To ascend to the highest tier of the Norse pantheon!

Maintaining a pose reminiscent of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, his outstretched fingers are where the blood from the pierced parts of his body flows and drips. If his understanding is profound enough, that blood, after dripping onto the ground, will gather into the primordial principle he desires, the original rune.

Soon—the night closed its eyes completely, its breathing became incredibly steady and soothing, and it truly felt as if it had fallen asleep, entering a state of utter stillness.

In this newly created world, nothing noticed that on the trunk of the World Tree, a 'master' who had not yet grown up began a grand sacrifice and resurrection, offering his master to the world.

Using the World Tree trunk as an altar, and myself as a sacrifice! Here it comes—! There are two level 12 (highest star) monsters; overlap them here to Xyz Summon.

Come on!

—! When the sacred sacrifice begins.

At the very moment when Night's body overlapped with the World Tree's trunk, a chilling coldness, as if freezing even the soul and marrow, spread along the Holy Lance's radiance to Night's body. A terrifying sense of being devoured and assimilated suddenly came over you; it was the power that the world was unwilling to submit to a mere life form and wanted to assimilate Night into its own being.

This power, which even the god-king Odin could not withstand and which tormented him terribly in the early stages, was a complete dimensional reduction attack on Ye's newly formed flesh and blood.

Upon first contact, Night's body instinctively emitted a mournful cry, as if every cell and muscle in its body was about to collapse and fall apart.

However, just before Night's body was about to collapse, unable to keep up with his trial process, a faint glow emanated from the depths of Night's body from the cosmic blueprint created in the simulation of the creation of the world.

Like flowing tides crashing against the cold waves, the cold air was instantly shattered and transformed into pure life force to nourish the night's body, while helping the night to re-stabilize its life form.

The trial had only just begun when it became incredibly dangerous.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Wealth Keeps You Away from Poverty; The Mystery, the Sun, and God That Attract You

Excellent! After discovering that the power of the cosmic seed within his body could indeed help him resist the cold wave, and even gradually shatter and devour this power to replenish his body... Ye also completely calmed his mind and continued to immerse his soul in the depths of the World Tree to explore, search for, and comprehend the runes.

During this process, Ye would occasionally frown because of the constant cold waves, her thoughts always being interrupted.

'No—I simply can't concentrate.'

A slight pain flashed between his brows. His body was being constantly shattered at the genetic level, and then forcibly stabilized and reconstructed before it could completely collapse. This repeated process would have been difficult for him to even calm down if it weren't for the cosmic blueprint that kept his mind stable. In such torment, he would have had no choice but to try to comprehend the primordial runes.

This is an inhuman torture that even the most resilient and toughest man would have to respect as a true man after experiencing it.

A sense of collapse, depression, and nausea, so intense it sends shivers down your spine, keeps coming.

If one hadn't already experienced several simulated universes, and possessed a spirit and will as bright, resilient, and immense as a torch burning across a field, the spirit of an ordinary person would have collapsed long ago in the process.

No wonder Odin spent nine days and nine nights on it and almost failed.

Although Odin's divine body was far more powerful and protected by various divine artifacts, he still faced immense difficulties in achieving enlightenment. However, Night also had the help of the blueprint for the nascent creation of the universe, so even with his fragile body, failure was not necessarily inevitable.

Think about it again—what other methods could better help me understand runes sooner?

At that moment, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, Ye suddenly thought of the poem "The Word of God" in Norse mythology, which describes a similar scene.

The words spoken in the voice of Odin, the king of the gods—

"Nine Nights hung from a tree swaying in the fierce wind, wounded by spears;
