"Hey-it must be very long, maybe it's really a tree..." The old giant surrendered.

Aken took great effort to pull out the thick wooden stick, which was indeed as thick as a tree five or six feet tall. He lay on the ground with gasps, feeling his throat getting dryer, "Hey, I said, "Old man, can I let me drink that spring water now?" Aken felt that he should reward him.

The old giant shook his head, "No, anyone who wants to drink this spring will have to pay the price!"

"Then I'll help you pull out that big tree, doesn't that count?"

"You can help me pull out the thorn, and I can only answer your question..." The old giant seemed to turn against him.

"You-" Akan was so angry that he lay down again. He really had no energy to speak, and said helplessly: "Okay, what is the price you said?"

The old giant rubbed his feet with satisfaction and smiled: "I remember a long time ago, the guy who drank this spring last time paid the price of one right eye. Do you think you can bear such a price?"

Aken was shocked. Drinking water would cost such a price. If you are hungry, you will not have half your life if you eat something! But he thought for a while and said to the old giant: "If a person who is about to die of thirst can save his life by drinking this sip of water, it is worth the price of losing one eye. And I am almost thirsty now..."

"Would you lose one eye in exchange for drinking this sip of spring water?" the old giant smiled, his eyes full of cunning wisdom.

Aken pondered: "Looking at the tree that I pulled out the soles of your feet, can you let me choose which eye to lose?"

The old giant laughed and said, "Hahaha! Because you pulled out the thorn for me, I will let you choose which eye to lose!"

"A word is certain?"

"Never break your promise!"

"Then you swear!"

The old giant had no choice but to make a vow to the tree of the world, and the vow turned into a mysterious symbol and flew into the tree of the world. "It's OK like this..."

Akan smiled, smiling like a weasel that stole a chicken. He said, "I am willing to lose this eye..." After saying that, his smooth forehead opened one eye, which was the place where the "One-Eyed Mountain King" puppet was!

"You!..." The old giant was so angry that he was trembling when he saw the sudden appearance of his eyes. He was called the wise giant and was fooled by this little dwarf. This guy was even more evil and hateful than a goblin! But he had already made an irrefutable oath to the Tree of the World, so he naturally could not regret it.

"You cunning and hateful human..." The old giant's voice trembled.

Aken smiled and said, "Now is the time to fulfill his promise!"

"Well, if you really want to drink the Spring of Wisdom, I want to tell you that drinking this spring with human ability will allow you to gain wisdom and lose more!" The old giant stretched out his hand and wiped Akan's forehead, and a big eyeball fell into his palm. "This is really an evil eye, just like it fell from the Hundred-Eyed Giant..."

He snapped his fingers, and the spring water flowed to Akan's feet, as gentle as a lover's arm. Akan lowered his head and drank the spring water in big gulp. The sweetness of the spring water seemed to melt directly into his throat, seeping into the dehydrated body, and soon flowed throughout his body. Not only did his body be replenished with water, but the water flowed into his soul and wiped his soul, as if his soul eyes were more thorough!

Countless truths rose in my mind, and even the tree of the world in front of me seemed to become transparent. Its sprout and growth until it supported the entire world was vivid in my mind. But Akan's soul was instantly submerged because of the emergence of countless knowledge and truth in this spring of wisdom! He was lost in the universe of truth and could not extricate himself!

The giant of wisdom sneered, watching Aken drinking the Fountain of Wisdom, standing like petrification. His eyes had lost focal length, as if two nebula were slowly rotating!

"In human beings, I also want to try the Spring of Wisdom. You will be lost forever in this sea of ​​truth!" said the old giant coldly, "Do you know who was the last time I drank the Spring of Wisdom? That was the king of the gods, Odin. With his divine power, he had to dig a right eye to get rid of the terrible ending of the soul being lost in the sea of ​​truth!"

Of course Aken couldn't hear it. The loss of the soul was even more terrifying than death. Because of the death of the soul, the soul still exists. But if the body of the soul is lost, it is the walking corpse.

The old giant glanced at the cane on the ground, picked it up, and murmured, "The Staff of the Benevolent..." Many runes flew out of the cane. The old giant narrowed his eyes and looked at the runes carefully, and found that there was a kind of familiarity with him, "Ruen Rune? It's God's will. Odin, the king of the gods, also obtained the Rune after drinking the Spring of Wisdom, and then gained the Rune of Luen, and then gained great power!"

Among them, he picked up the thick thorn that tortured his feet, "The branches of the tree of the world are really the joke of the goddess of fate. Odin's lightning spear 'Kungunier' is also made by the branches of the tree of the world, this strange human..."

The old giant put the branches of the World Tree together with the "Staff of the Benevolent". He waved his hand and waved the Taoist runes and Buddhist runes to disperse them, leaving only the Lun runes. The wooden sticks and canes merged together under the "Staff of the Roy" and the new cane turned into a spear tip. The Lun runes gathered on the spear tip and shone with dazzling and brilliant stars!

"Your luck!" The old giant picked up the spear and put it in Aken's hand who was kneeling there. The starlight spread throughout the spear and rushed towards Aken's hands...

The light wrapped Akan's body along Akan's hands, like a shining god, which made people unable to look at him. After a long time, the nebula in Akan's eyes turned into clear eyes again, but the flashing light seemed to penetrate people's hearts.

"It's really fascinating-" Akan sighed long. He seemed to have wandered in the sea of ​​truth for infinite time. Finally, a dazzling meteor rushed towards him from the infinite space and woke him up.

He lowered his head and saw the cane in his hand. It seemed to have changed. One end turned into a spear tip. On the long spear handle, there were mysterious golden wood grains winding, like the most ancient and natural runes. On the spear tip where the starlight shines, countless runes as fine as pink as flowing light, as if they were condensed from the Lun runes.

"This is..." Aken looked at the old giant hesitantly and found that his eyes were vast and distant, as if he was recalling something.

"You go... leave here... go there, the goddess of fate, and see what they will say..." The old giant waved his hand, and the roots of the World Tree separated a path, and in the distant horizon, there was another root system of the World Tree.

"Don't go the wrong path. If you go the opposite direction, you will go to the land of the dead that you will never return - the cold and helpless Neforheim, the country of fog..."

The old giant's words were still ringing in Akan's heart. He set out again on the "branch of the tree of the world" and trekked in the boundless wilderness. Will the goddess of fate in front give him the right guidance?

…………

"Another root of the World Tree, the three goddesses Noren can see all the past, present and future. If I go, I will ask if I will cultivate to become a real human in the future!" The book demon seemed very persistent.

Zhang Fan took pictures of the book demon, "You don't need to ask them, I can tell you that practicing to become an adult is just the beginning. When you come out of the scene, you will see the world's fostering. Maybe you will hate it and miss the quiet time of the 'Confidential Archive'."

"Maybe..."

…………

Akan, who drank the spring of wisdom, had a deep understanding of the world. Those mythical kingdoms were as far away and false as dreams. Akan suddenly remembered the Buddhist terms that Zhang Fan always said: Everything is created by the mind, but it is just the common karma of sentient beings. He felt that this sentence summarized the giants, dwarfs, elves, and those countries, and the wise creatures in them all had the same persistence as their kind. The stubbornness of the dwarf, the arrogance of the elves, and the stupidity of the giants...

"Birds of birds gather together, and people divide themselves together." Akan smiled, "This is the so-called 'common karma'..." And this world tree is like a long river of history flowing, connecting the past, present and future. Whether it is the once arrogant giant, the god who thinks he is eternal, or the humble deceased, they all revolve around the present world.

So what are you pursuing in this way? Even the goddess of fate, they weave the net of fate of others all day long, aren’t their fate also in the net?!

Aken suddenly burst into laughter. The spring of wisdom and the goddess of fate were ridiculous. The tree of the world is so vast that it was difficult to reach for a lifetime of poverty. But he still worked hard to make a trip, wasn't he looking for fish in the tree of fate? Since he had traveled for thousands of years and had not died, what's the point of this thousand years? It's just a step...

Thinking of this, Akan felt that he was growing taller, just like his body was illusory. The tree of the world was like an ordinary big tree. Although it was very huge, it was no longer a terrifying thing.

Akan only took a few steps to come to another root of the tree of the World. The stem also flowed out of the tree, nourishing the giant tree like a mountain. Next to the root of the tree, three women were weaving a net, and the line of destiny was shading, one end in the hands of the three women, and the other end was connected in the center of the tree of the World.

Three women, one of them always looked back, as if there was always something that she couldn't bear to give up, summoning her. One was just right, and her eyes were always looking ahead. The youngest one, with a veil mask, had a book in his hand, but he didn't read it. No one knew what was written in it, because even she hadn't read it herself.
