The nights in Asgard were beautiful because Asgard wasn't a planet. In other words, one of the Nine Dimensions didn't have the concept of a planet.
These God Kingdoms floating in this special dimension were created by countless Gods over countless years with their own Divine Power. This semi-enclosed dimension was the most stable of the Nine Dimensions and also the strangest.
Standing on the balcony of the Asgard Palace, one could see the starry sky of many other dimensions. Andromeda was so close to the Crab Nebula that they could touch. The withered white dwarf that was left after a star burned its entire life was quietly floating in the sky. In the distance, a huge red giant was flashing a faint red light in the night sky.
Not far from the red giant was a green nebula, which was probably the remnant of a Super Xingxing's explosion.
In this magnificent starry sky, Li Jie leaned against the railing of the balcony. Diagonally across from him sat Thor and Luo Ji.
Ancient One had already returned to Earth, so Odin's anger had dissipated. Frigga was quite happy about her son's transformation. Although he was indeed very fat, he could turn a guy who only knew how to fight into someone who loved to study and take care of children. Frigga liked this Thor even more.
This meant that Thor had grown up. He was no longer the fool who only knew how to fight and kill, who only knew how to destroy and not build.
He had learned to be tolerant, tolerant, and humble. But she didn't forget the proud, honorable, and combative Thor. Thor was the son that Frigga wanted to see the most.
Thus, Li Jie's life was saved. Frigga invited him to stay in Asgard for a while. Later, Frigga would send him a gift on behalf of Odin as a reward for taking care of Thor on Earth.
The balcony that the three of them were sitting on was in the inner courtyard of the palace. Usually, only Odin's family could enter. If it weren't for Thor and Luo Ji bringing Li Jie, Li Jie wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy the night view. He was arranged to stay in a bedchamber on the outskirts of the palace.
Thor sat opposite Luo Ji, drinking Asgard's immortal brew. He said to Li Jie, "This time, you should thank me properly. Not only did you not get electrocuted by the Spear of Eternity, you even had the chance to receive a reward. "
Li Jie's brows twitched: "If you could control your appetite a little, none of this would have happened."
Thor rolled over like a salted fish, making himself more comfortable in the chair. He ignored what Li Jie said. "It doesn't matter. You can try our specialties when you come to Asgard. The Harvest Festival's ale, mead, and fruit wine, along with the roasted Dalmatis and Thunder Dragons are all superb. "
Luo Ji rubbed her forehead helplessly. "Thor, you better not talk about food in front of Father. I'm already very surprised that he didn't hit you today. "
Thor whistled proudly, and the Thunder Hammer, which had been quietly standing to the side, flew into his hands. "Look, I have Jolmnir. I completed his test. What reason does he have to hit me?"
Luo Ji looked at him as if he were really naive. "Does Odin need a reason to hit Thor?"
Thor's smile froze on his face. Li Jie suddenly felt that Luo Ji's words made sense. They couldn't refute her.
Luo Ji took a deep breath. She felt that the two in front of her were really naive. She asked, "Why did you do that in the morning?"
Thor played dumb. "What do you mean by that?"
Luo Ji glanced at Thor. "Although my brother is stupid, arrogant, idiotic, and sometimes has brain problems." This string of adjectives made Thor's expression change. But Li Jie stood at an angle that Thor couldn't see and gave Luo Ji a thumbs up. She was really right.
Luo Ji continued, "Although Thor is stupid, he has never been stupid enough to steal the crown from Odin's hands. I think you already know what Odin is holding in his hand. "
Li Jie, who was listening on the side, had already figured out what had happened at the viewing platform in the morning. Although Thor wasn't smart enough most of the time, it was mostly because of his low EQ and bad temper. But Li Jie had never felt that there was something wrong with Thor's IQ. Perhaps he wasn't smart, but at least he wasn't stupid.
Thor looked at Luo Ji and Li Jie. He suddenly pointed at Li Jie. "Luo Ji, did you show this kid your true face?"
Luo Ji was stunned. She frowned but still nodded. "Yes."
Thor shook his head noncommittally. "Then take off your disguise. There won't be any outsiders here. I want to see my sister's current appearance. "
Luo Ji stared at Thor and then at Li Jie. She took off her illusion magic and revealed her true appearance as the second princess of Asgard. She was as beautiful as ever.
She had a head of silky black hair. Her sapphire-like eyes shone with a lively light. She had a tall figure and a mature yet elegant face. Luo Ji looked at Thor and said, "Speak."
Thor straightened his back. Li Jie thought that he was going to explain why he did what he did. But Thor did something unexpected.
He suddenly pressed his hand on Luo Ji's head and messed up her meticulously combed hair. It was like rubbing a kitten's head. Before Luo Ji could react, he had messed up her beautiful hair.
The beautiful second princess of Asgard had instantly turned into a crazy woman with messy hair. Thor looked at his masterpiece and smiled in satisfaction.
Li Jie, who was watching from the side, forced himself not to laugh out loud. Luo Ji, who had always been known for her shrewdness, had also been made a fool of by Thor.
The two men seemed to have satisfied some kind of bad taste, but Luo Ji didn't find it funny at all. She hated people who messed with her hair. When she was young, Thor liked to grab her hair and mess it up. Then, he would laugh mockingly and get beaten up by Frigga, who would rush over.
When Luo Ji turned 12 and started to control her magic, Thor couldn't mess up her hair anymore. I didn't expect this, I didn't expect this. I actually fell for it at this time.
Luo Ji's voice was filled with anger. "Thor!"
Thor continued to lie in his chair like a salted fish. He didn't care about Luo Ji's anger at all and said calmly, "Just now, you asked me to explain why I did that in the morning. Didn't I explain it to you? "
"What?" Luo Ji's brain didn't work. And Li Jie didn't understand what Thor was talking about.
Luo Ji tidied up Thor's hair and asked, "What are you talking about, Thor?!"
Thor crossed his legs and drank the celestial brew. "Do you remember when I was young, I liked to mess up your hair?"
Luo Ji didn't like Thor's bad taste, so she said impatiently, "Yes!"
Thor said, "Every time I messed up your hair, Mother would beat me up, but I still did it."
Luo Ji's eyes narrowed. "Huh?"
"Do you know why? Because I liked to see you cry every time I messed up your hair. " Thor told her about his bad taste when he was young. "I thought it was fun. Even if Mother beat me up every time, I still wanted to do it again."
Li Jie looked like he had seen a ghost. Thor was such a scumbag when he was young? Hm, no! This was a deep level of sis-con, right?!
Luo Ji looked at Thor as if she had eaten something stinky. Her expression was disgusting. "This is your reason?"
Thor was very direct. "Yes, this is my reason. Everything I did today is also because of this reason. I like it, that's all. "
"As Gods, our lives are very long. If there are no accidents, I think we can live for about five thousand years. Such a long life is really hard to bear. What can we do? Are we like the God of Wine and Music in Immemorial Taiqiu, thinking about how to enjoy life every day? "
Thor said this while lying on the chair. Li Jie felt that Thor seemed to know how to enjoy life more than the God of Wine and Music. At least the God of Immemorial Taiqiu wouldn't watch a variety show while eating fried chicken.
Thor continued, "In such a long life, we have to find something to pass the time. Asgard values martial arts, and fighting is a compulsory course for us. Conquering the world, our fame spread far and wide. My lifelong dream was to make me the most famous God in the history of Asgard. "
Luo Ji was expressionless. "You are very successful on this path."
Thor shook his head. "But I am not happy."
Li Jie and Luo Ji turned to stare at Thor. Thor continued, "Yes, I am not happy. I have never thought about why I do what I do. I only fight for glory, I only fight for glory, I only fight for the sake of war, I only kill for the sake of killing. "
"Praise and wine, flowers and applause, worship and … Hmm? I can't find a suitable word. "Thor tried for a long time but couldn't find an equivalent word for worship.
"Anyway, it's all of the above. You should understand. It's because of these reasons that I feel that I like these things. I feel that I like killing, fighting, and so on. Yes, I am not against fighting. I like to fight with people. I also like to drink and be worshipped. "
"But when all of this is purely for the sake of achieving a goal, everything becomes very boring." Thor took a deep breath and pointed at Li Jie. "This guy called Nightcrawler made me understand some things. He is a bit crazy, and the things he does."
"He is clearly a weakling, but he dares to take the responsibility of protecting his race and civilization. He has done many things that have changed the world, but he is willing to hide behind the scenes. It is not for glory, but for something else. "
Li Jie was a little embarrassed when he heard Thor's words. He said, "Don't say that. I won't object to your praise. Although I won't object to your praise, can I not say the first sentence? I don't think I am that weak. "
Thor laughed. "Hehe." Li Jie clenched his fists. If it wasn't for the fact that I can't beat you, I would have rushed up and beaten you up already.
Thor continued, "Also, working at the hospital and the orphanage, I have understood many things. A mortal's life is very short. Many people don't live to 60 or even 50. Their life length is less than one percent of ours.
"But some people's life is short, but they live it happily and fully. Because it is short, there is a need to do more things. All the happiness, sadness, happiness, and pain are concentrated in a few short decades. Children in their teens look forward to the rising sun every day. Couples in their sixties and seventies hold hands and watch the sunset together on the beach. "Thor raised his hand and pointed at the sky.
"Luo Ji, how many years has it been since our family sat together and looked up at the magnificent starry sky?"
Luo Ji sighed. "I'm afraid it has been more than a hundred years." This balcony was built after she returned to Asgard from the Summer Palace.
"Yes, more than a hundred years. We have wasted more time than a normal human's lifetime. "Thor lay on the chair and looked up at the sky." So why waste time like this? We can live for five thousand years, but how much smarter are we than humans? We fight for the sake of war, and we fight for glory. Is this really what I want? "
Li Jie and Luo Ji looked at Thor, both thinking.
"A god can live for five thousand years. How many years can he be happy for? Right now, I just want to do some things that I want to do. You can do what you want to do. Compared to power and prestige, I feel that happiness is the most important thing. A long life should be filled with things that one wishes for. "Thor finished speaking and looked up at the sky quietly.
Luo Ji leaned on the chair and didn't say anything.
Li Jie leaned on the railing and looked up at the magnificent starry sky of Asgard. Yes, life is short. A god can live for five thousand years, but is it really meaningful to squander these five thousand years? Human life is very short. Even someone as strong as Ancient One can only live for a few hundred years. Five hundred years is his limit.
But is the length of life the standard to measure all this? Li Jie shook his head. My life won't be as long as a god's, but I want my life to burst forth with enough light and heat.
