The World Tree—Yggdrasil.
It was not a real tree, but the concrete embodiment of cosmic laws and energy. Its branches connected the Nine Realms; its roots burrowed deep into the source of fate.
When Odin and Frigga arrived at the World Tree's energy core area with the golden egg, a vast, ancient breath full of life and law washed over them.
To mortals, this breath meant death. Even gods felt immense pressure when touching it.
But the instant this aura touched the golden egg, the sleeping Lucci's consciousness trembled—and he woke up immediately!
So comfortable…
That was Lucci's first feeling.
If Odin's divine power was a warm winter sun, then the breath of the World Tree was an ocean of life that nourished all things!
He saw countless radiant lines composed of laws—life, space, time, fate—flowing slowly around him, containing incomparable mystery.
And these powers were of tremendous benefit to him!
He couldn't waste this chance!
Lucci decided in an instant, without the slightest hesitation.
"Origin True Fire Marvelous Art—run at full power!"
Boom—
In this moment, the quiet golden egg became like a black hole, swallowing everything!
Driven by cultivation, Lucci's soul frantically devoured the surrounding World Tree energy at a terrifying speed!
World Tree energies that originally represented different laws, flowing like separate rivers, entered the egg—
and were forcibly analyzed, decomposed, and purified by the True Fire Marvelous Art, ultimately transforming into the purest source: the power of flame!
Under this endless energy infusion, Lucci's soul rose and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye!
He felt his power expanding violently, until the hard eggshell could no longer bind him!
"It's time to create my body."
Lucci's consciousness was crystal clear.
Using his past-life appearance as a blueprint, he began to visualize his body within his soul.
With his visualization, the immense power of primordial flame started to converge, following his will to construct bones, meridians, flesh and blood, internal organs…
A perfect divine body—made from the pure origin of flame—rapidly took shape inside the egg!
The process continued at high speed.
Extremely pure true-fire mist with origin quality flowed slowly over the surface of his divine body, as if alive.
It intertwined and wove automatically, transforming into a solemn, luxurious golden robe, engraved with mysterious patterns of the birth and death of cosmic stars.
True fire rose into the air, gathered above his head, and became a crown—simple in shape, yet noble and unparalleled!
Lava as robes.
True fire as crown!
The moment the divine body and crown fully formed, Lucci's consciousness and soul merged completely.
He opened his eyes.
What kind of eyes?
Black and deep, as though holding endless starry skies—without a trace of the innocence a child should have, only cold indifference and detached insight.
He used his past-life name to forge his eternal true name in this life.
A grand will born from the egg declared his existence:
"My name is Lucci!"
Rumble—
At the instant his true name was established, the World Tree outside seemed to receive some kind of guidance and suddenly shook!
Centered on the golden egg, a huge, violently pulsing energy vortex formed!
Visible torrents of World Tree energy turned into colorful floods, frantically being sucked into the egg and devoured!
The entire core region's energy began to boil.
Terrifying fluctuations spread through the space, reflecting in the skies above Asgard's immortal palace and dyeing them a magnificent fiery red!
"This… this is…"
Frigga was already dumbfounded by the shocking scene before her, her elegant face filled with disbelief.
It was real.
Odin hadn't lied to her.
No—
this egg was tens of thousands of times more outrageous than Odin's description!
It could actually absorb the World Tree's original power directly—
and at an absurd speed!
It was practically eating the World Tree as its tonic!
Even more shocking to both Frigga and Odin—
at this moment, the same clear thought appeared in their minds simultaneously:
"My name is Lucci!"
Odin and Frigga looked at each other, seeing infinite shock in each other's eyes.
This was truly a sacred life born from the source!
Before birth, it already possessed complete self-awareness!
…and it even gave itself a true name!
This was utterly beyond their cognition!
Odin tightly held Frigga's hand, feeling the trembling in her palm—yet his own heart did not calm at all.
"Lucci…"
He repeated the name silently, light shining in his single eye.
