Chapter 288 Night Falls
"If you want to destroy that World Tree, then I advise you to give up this childish idea."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because the World Tree is the source of power for the second and third generation of Olympian gods, the power of the laws it contains is no lower than the original laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."
"Furthermore, throughout the long course of time, countless gods have poured their primordial power into the soil where the World Tree grows."
"Even if it did not develop sentience, a rough estimate suggests that the divine power contained within the tree would not be lower than the highest level."
"Although you can defeat a god at the main god level on your own, this is only because your original laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth are stronger than other laws. Therefore, I do not recommend that you take action against the World Tree now."
Nix spoke at length, and Li Jie understood it all.
Simply put, she doesn't object to her taking action against the World Tree, but it must be based on the premise of a fatal blow.
Although Nyx was the creator goddess of this divine realm, the actions of Zeus, Gaia, and other gods had pushed her to the opposite side of the entire divine realm, and she no longer held any expectations for this filthy divine realm.
"I understand. I'll give it a try before I leave, just in case it works."
In fact, Li Jie's idea was not unfounded. During this period, the power of origin absorbed by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword had reached its peak. Although he was now able to withstand the power of the laws inherent in the Immortal Sword, he did not intend to immediately unseal the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. After all, when the Immortal Sword was unsealed, it possessed a momentary power to kill gods!
Add to that the power of the Law of Death that terrifies Hela and Thor, and there's a real possibility that it could destroy the World Tree.
But let's take it one step at a time for now; the important business isn't finished yet.
After a long silence, the blazing sun high in the sky above the realm of the gods of Olympus finally moved westward.
The curtain of dusk seemed to be ignited by Hephaestus' furnace, and the horizon burned with the boundary between crimson and indigo.
The palace dome atop the sacred mountain changes color in the sunset glow, gradually shifting from tangerine to deep purple, as if it had been soaked in the grape juice of Dionysus, the god of wine.
The night-dew grass in the garden began to unfurl, emitting a faint blue fluorescence that echoed the gradually awakening stars.
As the last rays of sunlight kissed the summit, the silvery glow of the moon goddess Selene fell like a veil, enveloping the divine realm in a pearly halo.
Seeing such a beautiful view, Li Jie couldn't help but sigh.
"The Olympian gods really know how to enjoy life."
After hearing Li Jie's thoughts, Nyx smiled gently.
"Even the most beautiful scenery will become tiresome after a hundred years, and the day-night cycle in the Olympian realm has become a tedious task."
Pulling her thoughts back, Nyx stretched out her hands, her ten fingers nimbly leaping through the air.
The pure laws of night permeated the air.
The pure white gauze curtains and the deep night seemed to compose a poem of light and shadow in this vast Olympian realm.
"The night is my domain..."
"Brother of Thanatos, shouldn't you keep your promise and hand me a sword that can slay gods?"
Li Jie remained noncommittal about this, after all, it's always good to have more methods prepared when you're going to break into Zeus's palace.
He reached out and drew out a wisp of primordial energy from the sword-nurturing gourd. As the true energy surged, a long sword radiating seven-colored light and water vapor took shape.
Feel the power emanating from the water vapor sword.
Nyx's gaze became slightly sluggish.
"It seems your current strength has exceeded my expectations."
After regaining her senses, she gave Li Jie a deep look, and then readily accepted the water vapor sword he offered.
"Please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."
After saying this, Nyx's figure gradually blended into the night, turning into starlight and drifting away.
Olympus at night is incredibly peaceful, captivating all who behold it.
Nyx was incredibly efficient; in just over ten minutes, she brought back the mysterious black box hidden in the Thunder Palace.
At the same time, Li Jie also removed the disguise of the Immortal-Slaying Sword, exposing himself to the Olympus Divine Realm.
The moment he saw him, Nyx made a shushing gesture to himself.
Then, she gently tore off a piece of veil from the hem of her skirt, covering the two figures.
"This is it. Whether you can open it or not, I'm not sending it back. It's still early, you can try it first."
"At dawn, I will draw upon the primordial power of Mount Olympus for you."
"After that... there might be a major war... be prepared."
Upon hearing this, Li Jie nodded.
From the moment they stepped into the divine realm until now, only half a day has passed.
The purpose of this trip to Olympus was to carry out a secret mission, and the shorter their stay, the safer he and Nyx would be.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Li Jie also focused on examining the mysterious box in Nyx's hand.
He was also very curious about what it was that Zeus treasured so much.
When Li Jie reached out and took it, the icy touch of the black box sent a shiver down his spine.
“This breath…”
After carefully sensing it, Li Jie actually felt a disgusting aura coming from inside the box.
The feeling was familiar, but he couldn't pinpoint where he had experienced it before...
"How about it?"
Seeing Li Jie frowning and remaining silent, Nix felt a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
Could it be... that something ominous is hidden inside this black box?
"Auntie, please wait a moment, allow me to test the waters."
If it's really what I think...
Then Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods... may very well have been assimilated by evil forces...
Yes, just now, while pondering, Li Jie finally remembered where he had sensed the same evil aura that was one with the same origin as the one inside this box.
This aura had also appeared in Xian'er's memories, although there might be slight differences, but the root cause was always the same.
The thing hidden inside this black box is very likely a wisp of the original power of the God of Kel'thas!
These evil gods coveted the primordial energy of heaven and earth contained within the immortal sword. They were eager to test it by using the primordial energy released from the sword-nurturing gourd.
Then these evil symbols will be exposed for what they truly are...
Upon realizing this, Li Jie did not hesitate at all to mobilize a wisp of heaven and earth energy and inject it into the black box.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
