Chapter 482: Stove Fire, Nine-Ring Spell

Muspelheim.

Lava rivers and boiling volcanoes have ignited this land of fire into a world of dazzling bright yellow.

At the top of the towering volcano, Surtur, the ancestor of the fire giants, was suspended above a red-burning cauldron, praising the feast presented by Yeats.

“It turns out that such an ugly creature as the Fire Winged Insect can be cooked into such a delicious dish.”

Surtel stuffed the nearly 100-ton fire-winged insect into his mouth like chewing French fries.

After being cooked by Yeats, the meat of the fire-winged insect became as crystal clear as white jade, and garnished with chopped green onions and minced garlic. It was a delicacy that Surtel had never tasted in his entire life!

“You said…how did you research this thing?” Surtel looked at Ye Zhi with his burning eyes and asked with interest.

“No need to study. As soon as I see the ingredients for the first time, the best way to cook them will come to my mind.” Ye Zhi replied with a smile, “This is also a kind of application of the power of law.”

Surtel’s expression suddenly became serious, and his still burning face slightly raised up, as if lost in memory, and murmured:

“The Law of Food… Without food, even the founding giant Ymir couldn’t survive, let alone the future generations. This is truly precious!”

Surtel sucked his fingers, looking down at Yeats with burning eyes.

“Now, let me guess, why are you here…”

Surtel snorted coldly: “You want to take back the Holy Fire from me?”

The sacred fire, also known as the stove fire, is a flame that was passed to the opening ceremony of ancient sports competitions by torchbearers, and the fire often came from the altar of the temple of the god of the stove and family.

The strength of the Holy Fire is far greater than the sulfur flames in hell that judge sin and the fire of Muspelheim that was used to create the sun, moon and stars!
Ye Zhi did not deny it, but admitted it generously, trying to persuade Sulter, saying:

“After the death of the God of Hearth and Family, his fire was inspired by the plane of fire and fell into your realm. This originally belonged to the authority of the God of Hearth… Now, I have been promoted to the God of Food, and I hope to take this fire back. I hope you agree.”

The ancestor of the fire giants folded his arms, and his towering body emitted dazzling light and heat above the crater. When he opened his mouth to speak, flames gushed out from it, raising a billowing black smoke.

The Kitchen God and the God of Food are just differences in names. There is no essential difference between the two. It can only be said that the current “God of Food Yeats” is not yet complete.

[Stove Fire] symbolizes the authority of “family” and “stove”. Only by getting the stove fire can Yeats truly regard himself as the [Kitchen God] and become the family patron saint who protects the lights of thousands of homes.

Surtel looked thoughtful, folded his arms and remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

“Then let’s exchange… exchange your feast for the fire of the stove!”

Hear the words.

Daisy and Scach exchanged glances and both saw that the other was a little surprised.

I thought it would take a tough battle to get the fire.

Unexpectedly, Yeats convinced Startel with just a home-cooked meal!

Before Ye Zhi could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Surtel growl again: “But——”

Ye Zhi’s heart tightened, knowing that this was a sign that the other party was going to make conditions.

The fire in the stove is extremely important to me and cannot be lost, but it is better not to let Surtel see this, so that he won’t make unreasonable demands.

Ye Zhi looked calm: “But what?”

“However, after you get the stove fire, I want you to get rid of someone for me.” Surtel gritted his teeth.

“Who is that man?” Yeats asked.

“The God King of the Second Era, the hypocritical old man whose name has now disappeared.” Surtel whispered:

“Odin!”

Ye Zhi’s heart skipped a beat, and he wondered, “Isn’t Odin dead? Even his soul has completely disappeared!”

Surtr smiled contemptuously, the flames above his head burning fiercely, surrounded by two huge flaming arms.

“Even my soul has survived until now… How could a dignified Ten-Ring Divine King, a supreme being, fall so easily?”

“I can feel the anger in my body still burning – He must still be hiding somewhere, secretly planning everything.” Surtur gnashed his teeth, “I must kill Him and avenge my people!”

Whether it is Surtur, the ancestor of the fire giants, or the demon wolf Fenrir, they all have a deep hatred for the old god-king.

The reason why the wolf Fenrir hated Odin was because Odin deceived him and tied him up tightly with ropes when he was young. Day and night, he felt the pain of the threads embedding into his flesh and blood, and he was in excruciating pain.

Where does the fire giant’s hatred come from?

Ye Zhi was curious, and used his mind to control the kitchen utensils to cook a feast at the speed of light in the divine domain. He waved his hand and let a large barrel of mead float towards Surtel, saying, “Let’s eat and talk!”

Not long after.

Ye Zhi heard this story from Surtur, the ancestor of the fire giants:
The army of fire giants led by Surtur and the gods led by Odin engaged in a protracted battle, with both sides winning and losing.

Odin took the initiative to sign a clause with Surtur, vowing that as long as Surtur did not invade Asgard, he would give Muspelheim, one of the Nine Realms, to the Fire Giants to live in permanently.

Surtur believed Odin’s oath and began to withdraw his troops, but Odin broke his oath and launched a pursuit, causing heavy casualties to the fire giants.

“He claimed that he had made various plans to defeat fate, including expelling the giants and making the gods swear not to harm the God of Light… But all these efforts were in vain in the end!”

Surtel snorted:
“In my eyes, he is a hypocritical and cowardly God King who doesn’t dare to fight the Outer Gods in an upright manner and racks his brains to make all kinds of meaningless plans!”

Skach suddenly spoke:
“It is said that the old God King drank from the fountain of wisdom and had eyes that could see through fate… Perhaps he saw some possibility in the future and made a decision that ordinary people could not understand?”

Surtur was enraged, and the volcano behind him was surging and shaking: “What He possesses is not wisdom, but the despicableness of deceiving me!”

“He must not be dead yet, he must be hiding somewhere, I must find him and cut off Odin’s head myself!”

As he spoke, Surtr plunged his giant palm into the volcanic magma and pulled out a huge sword that was shining brightly.

The giant sword was red and hot, and the runes on the sword radiated dazzling golden light. It was burning with raging flames, revealing a terrifying aura, causing the surrounding lava rivers to churn violently!
Ye Zhi couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

The branch of destruction!

An artifact of origin, the ultimate weapon that caused the destruction of the Second Era!
The Branches of Destruction can trigger magma and fire that engulf everything, and can even cause stars to fall, launching a blanket attack with a meteor shower!

Holding the Branch of Destruction, Surtel’s soul aura suddenly surged, and the flames surging from his body were even more powerful than the Fire of the God of Fire that Ye Zhi had experienced before. He seemed to possess the power of a nine-ring true god!

Looking at the ancestor of the fire giant holding the Branch of Destruction, Daisy secretly thanked her luck that Ye Zhi did not act rashly just now… If she really confronted this true god head-on, it would take a lot of effort to get away!
“Calm down, Surtel,” Ye Zhi said soothingly, “Using the Branch of Destruction now won’t threaten your enemy at all, and it will only waste your energy and hinder your revenge plan!”

These words pierced Surtel’s heart. Two flames of anger burst out of his eyes. He suppressed his rage and immersed the eternally burning branch of destruction back into the volcanic magma. Ye Zhi secretly memorized the location of the sword and continued to discuss with Surtel:
“Even if Odin is still alive, I am only an Eighth Ring True God, and I cannot swear to help you destroy the Tenth Ring Supreme… Can we change the terms?”

“He was defeated in the God War and fell from the High Throne, which means that He is no longer a Ten Ring. It is possible that He is hiding somewhere to recuperate.”

Surtel shook his head: “But… you do have a point. You are indeed very weak now and can’t help me get revenge – I still have to do it myself!”

Yeats secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn’t expect that Surtel was easier to talk to… Of course, it could also be because he was grateful for the favor!

“Then I’ll do as you say, but on another condition.” Surtur said, “I want you to help me find Odin’s whereabouts… As long as the news is true, the contract is concluded!”

Ye Zhi frowned and said, “How long will it take? Besides, if I had the stove, my divine power could cover thousands of households, and finding the whereabouts would be much easier!”

Sulter thought carefully about Ye Zhi’s words, and felt that they made a lot of sense. He nodded slowly:

“Okay… Then I will give you the advance payment… I hope you won’t break your oath like those despicable people…”

Stilton paused for a moment and said in a fierce voice: “Otherwise, my flames will devour you one day!”

Ye Zhi thought, if I stole the Branch of Destruction, wouldn’t you be exploded?

But it is an origin-level artifact after all. Even if you reach the ninth ring, you may not be able to fully master its power… You still have to take it step by step!

After a while.

Yeats and Sulter completed their vows.

Surtur returned the hearth fire to Yeats, who in turn gave Surtur a feast and helped him find Odin’s whereabouts.

If I were to say who among the people I know is closest to Odin, it would certainly be the King of the Wild Hunt.

Yeats’s thoughts were as fast as lightning.

Even the demon wolf Fenrir had reminded him to be careful of the god king Odin, but Odin blessed his trustworthy foster father…

The King of the Wild Hunt has been missing for some time, and no one knows what his plans are… Ye Zhi suppressed the complexity in his heart and decided to find an opportunity to ask the King of the Wild Hunt face to face to see if he had any clues about the old God-King.

“This is the spark of the Holy Fire. I am returning it to you now… Be careful!”

In the burning cauldron, a cluster of white flames rose up, surging with the breath of warmth and tranquility.

The law of food in Ye Zhi’s divine realm trembled slightly, trying to absorb the fire into itself.

Under Surtel’s control, the fire from the stove floated towards Yeats and gradually merged into his body.

In an instant, Yeats heard the conversations of countless people in countless families. The massive amount of information impacted his brain, causing him to lose consciousness in an instant.

Fortunately, Ye Zhi’s soul was particularly tenacious. He gradually came to his senses and looked down at his palms.

In the palm of his hand, there was a pure white flame, warm, sacred, and hot.

at the same time.

Ye Zhi clearly felt the increase of his divine power.

With the help of the stove fire, he was approaching the bottleneck of the eighth ring and touching the threshold of the ninth ring!
Such amazing growth made Ye Zhi a little unbelievable, but then he remembered that the God of Fire and Family was originally a nine-ring powerful god.

And obtaining the stove fire is equivalent to obtaining His authority, so it is reasonable for him to peek into the realm of the Nine Rings!
Slowly clenching his palm, the holy white flame wrapped around his fist, burning warmly, Ye Zhi whispered:
“I understand… I am now at the peak of the eighth ring and half a step to great perfection!”

The opportunity to advance to the ninth ring is still related to the God of Light.

After solving the problem of the famine knight, it is time to consider inheriting the legacy of the God of Light and ascending to the ninth ring…

While Ye Zhi was thinking, Surtel looked down at him, feeling somewhat satisfied.

The fact that he was able to use the stove fire so quickly for his own benefit shows that he was in perfect harmony with the laws of food.

The thing that Surtur loves most is fire… In his eyes, every kind of fire in the world has its own soul.

No matter it is the lonely and cold will-o’-the-wisp, the inhuman sulfur fire, or the warm and holy stove fire, in the eyes of the ancestor of the fire giants, flames are as kind and lovely as his own younger generations.

At this moment, sensing the excitement coming from the stove fire, Surtel was also very pleased.

I have found a suitable owner for the fire in the stove!

next moment.

Surtel licked his lips and said, “Now that you have obtained the stove fire, you will surely be able to cook the food even more deliciously… Come, let me have a taste!”

There is no distinction between day and night in the Fire Nation, and the concept of time is vague.

According to outside time, the journey to the Fire Nation lasted for three days and nights.

Three days later, Yeats, Daisy and Skach left the Fire Nation and returned to Asgard to report to Minerva.

In this trip, in addition to obtaining the authority of the God of Food, ‘Stove Fire’, which allowed his divine power to move one step closer to the Nine Rings, he also obtained some clues related to the old God King.

Minerva was a little surprised to see Ye Zhi and others return so quickly, but when her eyes fixed on the white flame in Ye Zhi’s palm, a look of favor suddenly appeared in her eyes.

“It seems my prediction was correct,” said Minerva with a smile, “The hearth fire is very kind to you!”

Everything has a soul, and fire is no exception.

The stove fire is the most powerful flame that Yeats can currently ignite. It is very practical whether used in combat or in the field of life, and it is also the one that best fits him.

Ye Zhi said sincerely: “I have only obtained the stove fire not long ago. I only know how to use the stove fire to cook… How to use the stove fire to cast spells, I hope the goddess of wisdom will teach me!”

Minerva smiled slightly:
“You are already an eight-ring true god. Combining the law of food and the authority of the stove, you are able to use nine-ring magic…”

“This nine-ring spell was once cast by the god of the hearth and family. It is very powerful.” Minerva said, “I don’t know how to cast it, but I can tell you the specific tricks…”

Ye Zhi’s heart moved, and he asked, “What nine-ring spell is this?”

Minerva said: “It is called [Sacred Fire]… a fire characterized by high temperature and purity, enough to purify any living being.”

Ye Zhi: “…”

What is high temperature disinfection method?
