Passing by the unfreezing river Yifeng’er, crossing the ‘Iron Forest’ that stretches between Midgard and Jotunheim.

Under the special temporal order of the Nine Realms, different realms are both separated and continuous.

Unlike when Laine later arrived, the long river sandwiched between Asgard and Jotunheim still flowed with turbulent waters today. Walking past it, Thor couldn’t help but recall the things he had once done here.

Just like every previous time, he was deceived by Loki to come here and even lost his hammer at one point. Of course, he eventually found it and even gained the gloves and belt he has today.

Odin had also been here, as well as that incessantly chattering old giant. Even with nothing left but a head, it was still unbearably noisy…

Looking at the tree roots hanging down like cracks in the sky, Thor faintly smelled an intoxicating fragrance.

That was the scent of Mimir’s Spring, where his father Odin had also gained the wisdom to be king.

“Wisdom to be king… you often say I am reckless. But if I were to do the same thing you did here, would I too possess wisdom?”

Shaking his head slightly, Thor held a persistent memory of this.

Ever since Odin obtained the Rune Symbols and supreme wisdom from here, almost all divine beings started coveting this spring.

Thor may not care about wisdom and runes, but there were things he wanted to know, such as how exactly to resolve the Twilight of the Gods.

Odin had seen its beginning here; as his son, Thor naturally should be able to see its end.

That’s what Thor thought, and he had acted accordingly, which is why this wasn’t his first time coming here.

However, even though Mimir’s departure left this ancient spring unguarded, no one else has been able to do what Odin did, even after thousands of years.

Drinking from the spring could cleanse the soul, but it couldn’t grant insights into treasures like the Rune Symbols, and no more could anyone see the vision of the dusk by praying to it.

Some believe that the gift bestowed upon the King of Asgard had exhausted the divine power of the spring, just like the birth of the Primordial Giant Ymir had nearly depleted much of the might of the Creation Hot Spring.

Others believe that the Spring of Wisdom actually has a unique way to be used, and that God King Odin has hidden this secret, even going so far as to cunningly cause the decapitation of its guardian to keep it.

Thor asked Odin about it, but he didn’t get any response.

That day, the one-eyed God King only solemnly warned him.

To gain something, you are destined to lose something. If the gods attempt to pry into the secrets of the world, the world will repay the gods with a dusk of despair.

“But I’m no longer a child, Father.”

“I am the bravest warrior of the Nine Realms, unmatched under Mjolnir. Even if you wish to admonish me, you need not scare me like one would scare a child.”

With a low sigh, Thor moved aside the fog that lingered around the Mist Forest.

He no longer needed the Spring of Wisdom now, since Odin had already found a way to prevent the Twilight of the Gods, although Thor did not approve of that way.

After all, Thor was a warrior, not a ruler. Perhaps he could not see his father Odin’s far-sightedness, so he went with the flow in search of his mother.

According to Sif, Queen of Gods Frigg was just ahead, and the reason she hadn’t appeared in Asgard for so long was due to the Divine King’s request that she come here.

As for what she was doing here… Thor couldn’t help but doubt the effectiveness of Mimir’s Spring once more.

Perhaps, threatened by the Twilight of the Gods, Odin ultimately turned his gaze back to the Spring of Wisdom. Having glimpsed catastrophe here, he sought answers once more.

It was Heavenly Empress Frigg who had learned the true way to use the Spring of Wisdom from his mouth, just as she was the only one qualified to sit upon Odin’s throne.

“Huh…”

“Wisdom of Kings…”

Step by step, Thor moved through the shrubs of the Mist Forest.

Soon, as the last of the obstructions cleared, the ancient spring pool appeared before the Thunder God.

A small lake in the middle of a clearing, with clear waters rolling ceaselessly. At its center was a spring eye gushing forth pure spring water, and the light shining down created a faint golden mist rising into the air. Above the spring pool, a massive root hanging from above gently swayed.

The rising mist was drawn by it, constantly nourishing the waters of the Divine Spring…
