The world inhabited by humans was called the Atrium before Ragnarok.

There is a rainbow bridge between the atrium and Asgard, and a god stands by the bridge as its guardian, warning Asgard.Viri walked all the way to the end of the Rainbow Bridge, recalling the information Ignace had told him.

Walking to the end of the bridge, just stepping into the city gate, the eyes suddenly opened up.

He was placed between the sky and the water, a shallow layer of lake water submerged his ankles, and a white stone path rose from the water and stretched into the distance.The lake is like a huge mirror, and the blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the lake, which is so beautiful.

The city was originally white, with white buildings, white water, white clouds, and a white tower in the center of the city.

Viri felt something in his heart, and suddenly looked back, the rainbow bridge he passed had not entered the water, and it was shining with rainbow-colored halos.There is a boundless lake behind, and there are no fields or cliffs.Even the azure sky before seemed to be just his illusion.He raised his foot, and the sound of rushing water echoed in his ears. After walking about ten steps, he finally stepped on the land of the Kingdom of God.

On his right hand side stood a lifelike statue, sitting on a stone pier, with extremely fair skin, holding a horn and a short sword, with a dignified expression.Behind it is a temple-like building, bathed in an iridescent halo.

"I'm afraid this is the patron saint of Asgard." Willy thought to himself.

He took off his soaked shoes and socks, and approached the statue cautiously, trying to get a better view.It was only after he saw this that he discovered the clue - what kind of statue is this?It was clearly a remains.

There are no chiseled marks on his limbs and facial features, and the folds and patterns of his clothes are extremely fine.Viri has seen many corpses, so he can tell the real from the fake at a glance.

"This—" he was taken aback, "did he die by the Rainbow Bridge at Ragnarok before he even had time to blow the horn?"

If the person holding the horn in front of him is the patron saint of Asgard, then the temple behind him should be the temple where the patron saint lives.

Viri carried his shoes and socks, and walked slowly along the stone path.

The tactility of the soles of the feet is very strange. These stone slabs used for paving are rough and uneven, but they look smooth.The architectural style on both sides of the long street is quite different from the current fashion, with a rough and simple aesthetic feeling, which is unique.All he could see was pure white, which gave Viri a great sense of oppression. He collected himself and looked forward.

In the distance stands the pure white tower with rainbow lights of seven colors.He held his breath, closed his eyes, and heard a very light and thin sound of running water, ding dong, ding dong.

Wei Li's eyes lit up, the source of flowing water, nine out of ten sweet springs.

In the Ymir forest, the elf king who turned into a girl told the legend of the world tree and the sweet spring.The dragon bites off the roots of the World Tree, and the gods of Asgard usher in their twilight.

The new world tree is irrigated by the sweet spring, and the sweet spring is said to be formed from the blood of the giant Ymir.

As a descendant of the Protoss, where can the bishop get the seeds and oasis of the World Tree?Needless to say, it must be Asgard.

Viri walked straight along the stone road without hesitation.After walking for about two hours, he finally reached the end of the road.The end of the road turned out to be a cliff, and the sun was high in the sky, illuminating the scenery outside the cliff.What he saw was so shocking that Viri held his breath involuntarily.

In front of me is a place similar to a tiankeng, surrounded by cliffs, the cliffs are straight, hundreds of meters high.Standing on the edge of the cliff, holding on to the stone pier by the side of the road, he felt an emotion similar to fear.

This is an emotion rooted in the human heart, and it cannot be avoided no matter how far one cultivates.

He stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look out, but he could only see the outline of the building opposite the tiankeng, shrouded in bright white light, almost invisible.The small buildings are next to each other, like a bunch of ants.

In the center of the tiankeng, a huge tree fell down, and the crown of the tree fell to the edge of the tiankeng, causing the cliff there to be gapped.The leaves have withered long ago, leaving only the dark and strong branches, stretching densely towards the sky.

Viri couldn't estimate the specific size of this tree at all, it was too big, and all words seemed too pale in front of it.

There are many palaces beside the tree, which are far away from each other. Now they have collapsed into disrepair, and only from their dilapidated remains can we get a glimpse of the splendor and magnificence of the past.

Viri checked carefully, only to find that the collapsed World Tree and the palace were all submerged in the water.It's just that the spring water is too clear, so he didn't notice it in the first place.The cold wind blew from the sinkhole, and Viri shivered, and rarely felt his body chill.

He lowered his head and put on his shoes and socks before he began to think about how to get to the bottom of the tiankeng.

Viri intuitively believes that the resting place chosen by Bishop Ignas must be next to the fallen World Tree in the Tiankeng.It was hard to say where this strange intuition came from, but he was very sure of his guess.

Facing the wind, he began to silently recite the spell that belonged to the wind.

The originally chilly wind gently brushed past him, and the blown leaves spun endlessly in the wind.The light wind supported his limbs, and Viri took advantage of the wind and jumped without hesitation.The wind carried him across hundreds of meters, flying all the way to the bottom of the tiankeng, and then plunged into the clear water.

Spring water poured into his sleeves, Willi opened his eyes, the ribbon was loosened by the wind, and his hair was bobbing in the water.Only then did he see what the bottom of the water looked like—the same wilderness as under the Rainbow Bridge.The tall grass is always accompanied by the undercurrent, swaying in the water.

He held his breath, trying to rise to the surface.

During the long war years, he had to learn to dive and swim.Things that are familiar to him at this moment seem extremely difficult.Viri pushed aside the water waves with his hands, but he couldn't float up no matter what.

After trying for a few minutes, there was no sign of moving, as if something in the water was imprisoning him.

Willie gritted his teeth and had to take out his violin.

Thunder and lightning traveled unimpeded in the water, and in the flickering lightning, the violin turned into a sharp long sword again.Viri held the sword and slashed upwards fiercely. The thunder and lightning passed through the water like a snake, splitting the water.

Viri pushed his legs hard, pushed up, and took advantage of the short time when the thunder and lightning separated the water, he rushed to the surface of the water.

There was a dilapidated palace not far away. He struggled to open the way with his long sword, and it took a lot of effort to reach the stairs in front of the palace.

Holding the sword, he staggered up the stairs. Wei Li lost all his strength and fell to the ground, kneeling on the stone steps, unable to recover for a long time.He was out of breath, looking at the calm water, puzzled.

What's so weird about this spring water?

The tiankeng is completely silent, and no sound from the side can be heard. Perhaps it has been abandoned for too long. The palace is covered with vines and green plants, and even the stone steps are covered with moss.Willie stared at the calm water, suddenly feeling dizzy.

"I'm afraid." A childish voice whispered in his ear.

Wei Li was terrified, and Goosebumps stood up instantly. He held the sword, looked around, and shouted vigilantly: "Who?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid." Immediately afterwards, another child's voice sounded, as if answering.

There was a gust of wind blowing in the tiankeng, and the dense leaves all around shook and rustled.

"Will you stay with me all the time?"

"I'll be with you until you don't need me."

"We are the closest existence to each other in this world, you are not allowed to lie to me."

"I kid you not."

Willie calmed down, the child's voice didn't sound in his mind, nor was it someone hiding here to scare him deliberately.He had heard that the wind in some places would save the voice of people speaking, and replay it over and over again at the right time.

That being the case, who do these two child voices belong to?

The tiankeng is a relic after the dusk of the gods, and the sound that can be preserved by the wind should also be after the dusk of the gods.Could it be that an incredible thought arose in Willie's mind, could one of these two child voices be Bishop Ignace?

His head hurt more and more, and he was groggy, probably because he caught cold in the water.

Wei Li leaned on the stone steps, his thinking became chaotic, and finally he passed out.

……

"Valentin, Morse." A loud voice exploded in his ears, "I've come to see you! I heard you have given birth to a new cub."

"What a brat, it's a baby," said Valentine.

Willie's vision was blurred and he couldn't see anything clearly.He seemed to have entered Randall's memory again.

"Let me see this kid, have you named him yet?"

"Take it, and call it Randall."
