Chapter 989: Chapter 414: Fountain and Illusion_2
After all, in his perception, this so-called Creation Hot Spring is really weak. Even the realm that bears it seems inconsequential in power.
The Divine King originally thought that perhaps the Divine Artifact was deliberately obfuscating itself, not willing to be used by outsiders, but now it seems he might have been overthinking it.
Indeed, a world-ending catastrophe, the Spring of Wisdom might have been destroyed once and for all, and the similarly named Urd Spring probably hasn’t fared much better.
As for Heva
[Hvergelmir Spring], Boiling Soup, Unending Spring, Zeus of course had heard of this name.
It is the primal water of the Nine Realms, from which twelve great rivers called Elivagar flow out, and the ancient giant Ymir was born from this source.
Although the Divine Domain of Asgard is lofty and doesn’t really regard the Lower Realm of Niflheim, filled with cold and fog, that highly, they still recorded some things related to it.
For example, the Yggdrasil that Zeus once saw in a vision had one of its main roots embedded there, and also those residents called ‘Nibelungen’ by the outside world.
Looking at it this way, this layer’s name of the Abyss probably also comes from this…
“Yes, I have indeed heard of it.”
His eyes flashing slightly, Zeus felt he had guessed why the Dragon Mother had chosen this layer.

Clearly, he had documentation from Asgard, but the Lord of Darkness likely had similar sources of information—like Svartalfheim, which seemed to be a realm with a Dark Attribute.
“So, it turns out you’re here for this Fountain.”
“A spring containing both extreme poison and extreme cold…indeed, it complements your power well.”
The Divine Spring of the Alien Realm is indeed precious, but now that he knew the truth, Zeus didn’t care much for it anymore.
For the Dragon Mother, the Hvergelmir Spring might be considered an extremely precious treasure, but for him, this item could no longer enhance his power.
It would be best if he could acquire it, but there was no need to feel too regretful if he couldn’t. Among the three great Divine Springs of the Alien Realm recorded in Asgard, only the Mimir’s Spring, symbolizing Wisdom, could stir his heart.
Although it was only a vision in a fantasy, Zeus still remembered it fondly to this day.
Having a spring of Wisdom Water always by his side might allow him to compensate for what was lacked after Metis left.
“It seems you have no more doubts, so come on, choose between poison and cold current, and I will take care of the remaining one.”
As the dragon wings flapped in the cold wind, seeing that Zeus finally had no objections, the Dragon Mother immediately spoke.
As she personally stepped into [Nibelungen], the attraction of the Hvergelmir Spring to her was no longer hindered.
Although the Dragon Mother couldn’t be sure whether this attraction was purely due to a complementarity of powers, she was certain that the Divine Spring of the Alien Realm could definitely replenish her power.
“Alright, since you let me choose first… I’ll choose the cold current.”
“The stench of the poisonous swamp is indeed uncomfortable, but I suppose the Dragon Mother hardly minds it.”
Nodding slightly, he casually made his choice. Grabbing the ethereal map, Zeus immediately soared into the sky.
No need to say more, he now just wanted to quickly make this cunning Dragon Mother a Lord, then leave this layer.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Mother didn’t care about the Divine King’s attitude either. Seeing this, she likewise flew in the completely opposite direction, heading straight for the poison spring amidst the ice and snow.
As Zeus said, she indeed didn’t mind the corruption of the poisonous swamp, as long as it brought her tangible benefits.
Thus quickly, as the cold wind swept through, with the two Outsiders leaving consecutively, the snow-covered mountain that had never been trodden by outsiders, returned to its usual tranquility.
······
Swish—
Commanding the Thunder and lightning, Zeus’s figure flickered among the Silver Serpents.
Unlike many of the realms he passed along the way, what surprised the Divine King a bit was that there seemed to be no Lords inside [Nibelungen].
Crossing the boundary between the glacier and the toxic swamp, Thunder surrounded Zeus. This fleshly avatar created through special methods was truly a pure Thunder God, without any of the parts related to Soveregin imposed on him.
Racing along the way, not knowing how long had passed, at a certain moment, Zeus finally found the glacier standing on the Earth.
The cold wind was piercing, reaching straight to the soul.
Standing atop the ice mountain, the Divine King easily found a spring seemingly running straight down from the peak, piercing the entirety of the ice mountain.
Gurgling water flowed from it, with the surrounding space and time seemingly frozen.
This was a cold capable of freezing a Divine Body, and even Zeus, in his avatar form of Divine Power, felt a hint of chill.
Without surprise, this must be the spring mentioned by the Mother Dragon, which led all the way down to the core of the realm…
Observing closely, in Zeus’s memory, Chaos Terrain had never naturally possessed such a Divine Spring.
Those famously named springs actually had other origins—like the Youthful Spring Water created by the Goddess of Youth’s golden cup, its power actually came from the Divine Artifact, not from anything peculiar about the spring itself.
Whoosh…
Scooping up a handful of spring water, the Divine King gazed at it for a moment before drinking it down.
The bone-chilling cold traveled from his body straight to his brain, making Zeus shiver unconsciously.
However, after a moment, when warmth regained, the Divine King couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
“Creation Divine Spring… Unending Soup… The tales from the Alien Realm speak of birthing the Ancestor Giant and nourishing the water that supports the Nine Realms Divine Wood, is this all there is to it?”
“Regrettably, even if its power is currently split in half, it truly is not as remarkable as its name suggests… Compared to the Wisdom Water in illusions, there really is no comparison.”
He shook his head slightly, finally letting go of the last bit of greed in his heart.
When he first arrived at this realm, Zeus thought he might have sensed it wrong.
After all, in his perception, this so-called Creation Hot Spring was rather weak. Even the realm that contained it seemed so trivial in power.
The Divine King originally thought this might be the Divine Artifact obscuring itself, not wishing to be used by outsiders, but now it seemed he might have overthought it.
Indeed, after an apocalypse, the Spring of Wisdom might have been destroyed, and Urd Spring associated with its name might not have met a better fate.
As for Hevagmir Spring… its survival to this day might be due to the influence of its Creation Hot Spring water.
Still, even so, it has lost almost all its power and ended up in its current state.
“If there are no surprises, it should be exactly as I thought.”
“This spring’s utmost cold is comparable to its toxicity, yet according to Asgard’s records, it should give birth to twelve great rivers, only one of which carries poisonous water.”
“And most importantly, the life force capable of nurturing the Ancient Gods must have also passed away, or perhaps has already been completely drained…”
“Since that is the case, there’s no need for me to take any action.”
Feeling a bit sentimental, nothing can remain untouched in the face of world destruction.
Taking a step forward, Zeus finally stepped into the Divine Spring in front of him.
The thunder cleared away the icy spring water, and the Divine King dove deeper through the passage.
The external brightness gradually faded. In no time, Zeus was getting closer to the core of this realm.
Gradually, pale blue ghostly light rose all around, and the icy chill seemed to have solidified into substance.
The surrounding environment was partly real, partly illusory, as if swimming through a dreamlike world.
However, the Divine King was clearly not fooled, he just kept moving forward.
After an unknown period, the spatial dimensions below this terrain became unknowable.
At a certain moment, Zeus distinctly felt the cold intensifying around him, he seemed to have reached the end.
Gathering his spirit, he focused, but at this moment, the Divine King’s brows involuntarily twitched.
“…Hmm?”
“This is…”
