Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

"In that case, how much longer can you extend my lifespan?" Odin nodded and asked.

He would give anything to extend his lifespan.

The production of Uru metal is indeed very low, but it's not nonexistent. As for Infinity Stones, they are even less of a concern.

Chapter 207 Rhodes: Odin, the God-King, the so-called destiny can actually be controlled by oneself.

“If we each receive a divine artifact, how about we add thirty years to your lifespan, plus the Space Stone you borrow, for a total of forty years?” Rhodes said.

Upon hearing this, Odin frowned immediately. "Kid! You're way too ruthless!"

Forty years of lifespan? You're fucking kidding me!

“Do you know how precious Uru metal is, and how precious artifacts are? There are only a handful of artifacts in all of Asgard, but forty years of lifespan is too short!” Odin shook his head and said.

Borrowing the Space Stone to gain ten years of lifespan is a very worthwhile deal for Odin, as he won't lose anything.

But if you use Uru metal and order the dwarves to forge an artifact for each of you in exchange for thirty years of lifespan, that's not just being dishonest, that's robbery!

Do you know how precious Uru metal is? You really say whatever comes to mind.

"Gentlemen, you are also god-level beings, don't you know how precious Uru metal is?"

This is a metal that can be used to forge divine artifacts. It is very difficult to mine and requires various processing and forging before it can be used.

Our production in Asgard is extremely small, with only my husband, the god-king Odin, contributing.

"My son, Thor, and my guardian, Heimdall, possess weapons forged from Uru metal," the Queen of Gods said.

Even Odin's personal guard of Valkyries were not equipped with weapons made of Uru metal.

This price was almost too much for her; she wanted to craft a magical artifact made of Uru metal for each of you.

But Uru metal, which took Asgard thousands of years of accumulation, do you think it's something that's commonplace?

Its extraction is extremely difficult, and only Asgard can produce it.

If it were commonplace, everyone in Asgard would have an Uru weapon by now. The only other person to possess a weapon crafted from Uru would be his eldest daughter, Hela.

“How about this? We’ll add a hundred years to your lifespan, Odin, the God-King,” Rhodes said.

Judging from Odin's expression, Rhodes knew that his offer regarding lifespan had made the old man a little uneasy.

The price I offered was a little too low, and the old man looked like he wanted to punch me.

"A lifespan of three hundred years is the price of three divine artifacts."

"If you try to negotiate the price with me again, then it's no use, and this deal probably can't be done." Odin said, his face ashen.

Over a thousand years, these three artifacts crafted from Uru metal represent half of Asgard's wealth.

Living three hundred more years would only delay Ragnarok, giving Thor and his unruly youngest son more time to grow up.

This is already the limit I can accept.

"How about adding a branch of the World Tree? Odin, the God-King, would you be interested in exchanging it for the Frozen Treasure Box?" Rhodes said.

The World Tree of Asgard is an extremely valuable item, at least better than the World Tree grown by the night elves of Azeroth. I'll go back to Azeroth and try to use it to cultivate a World Tree.

It might even improve Ai-chan's strength, and she can also use the World Tree Leaf after growing up to make a Transformation Leaf for Ma Liang.

As for the Frost Giants' Ice Box, it is also a divine artifact in the movie, a heirloom of the Frost Giants.

I can take it back and study it, and it might even be a powerful weapon in a critical moment.

"You can have a section of the World Tree trunk, which will also have a lifespan of one hundred years."

"As for the Ice Box, if you want it, give me a thousand years of your lifespan, and I will give it to you," Odin said.

There's nothing wrong with the World Tree's branches; we can just cut off a section for them.

The Frost Treasure Box is incredibly powerful, so keeping it in one's own treasury is really useless. However, it wouldn't be a bad idea if it could be traded away.

But I can't offer a low price; I have to exchange it for at least a thousand years of lifespan, since this thing is considered a nuclear weapon even among the gods.

The divine power within the Frost Treasure Box contains the power of the Frost Giant race; freezing a planet in an instant is merely its most basic operation.

What is truly precious is the icy divine power left behind by the kings of the Frost Giants.

"Your Majesty, your price is too high! How about this: five hundred years of lifespan, and use the Space Stone to forge three divine artifacts for us."

"You'll give us the Frost Treasure Chest, plus a branch of the World Tree—it has to be as thick as my thigh," Rhodes said.

“A thousand years! Not a single bit less. This is my maximum limit,” Odin said.

"Six hundred years, how about six hundred years?"

“A thousand years! That’s just the price of the Ice Treasure Box; the remaining five hundred years are for other things,” Odin said, his face ashen.

"Alright, Your Majesty, it's a deal!"

He realized that if he lowered the price any further, Odin would go berserk. He was already furious that he had gotten so much stuff from this old guy for free.

After all, they only sacrificed some life force, while Odin, the God-King of Asgard, sacrificed many substantial treasures.

"Hmph! You are the most greedy god I have ever seen, without exception. You should change your name."

"The God of Space is not suitable for you; the God of Greed is more suitable." Odin said, looking at Rhodes.

“Ahem! Thank you for your praise, God-King. Actually, you have other things you can trade, such as the Infinity Gauntlet you once created,” Rhodes said.

Odin's treasury contains an Infinity Gauntlet.

Hela said that the Infinity Gauntlet was useless because it didn't have any Infinity Stones embedded in it, but if you embedded Infinity Stones in it, it should be useful.

The dwarves must have already forged an Infinity Gauntlet, and the user of this Infinity Gauntlet was none other than Odin himself.

That's why Thanos came after them, indirectly leading to the massacre of the entire dwarf race.

“Tell me everything you want all at once!” Odin said.

"Actually, the Eternal Flame isn't untradeable, and there's also the technology of the Rainbow Bridge."

“I can give you my Infinity Gauntlet; its crafting process isn’t complicated. But as for the Eternal Flame, I can only give you a wisp of it. The Rainbow Bridge technology is also an option,” Odin said.

The Eternal Flame is related to Ragnarok, and he must handle it with utmost care. Legend has it that the Eternal Flame will resurrect the fire giants and then destroy Asgard.

However, in some future visions he saw after sacrificing one eye, the Eternal Flame was one of the keys to saving the Asgardians. It could both destroy Asgard and save the Asgardians, so giving the other party a wisp of flame was acceptable!

(Odin knew that Ragnarok would inevitably happen and that Asgard would be destroyed, which is why he reminded Thor that wherever there were people, that was Asgard.)

"Then, Your Majesty, how many years of lifespan would you like to trade?" A wisp of eternal flame could also be studied back at home. How about asking for two hundred years?

Cough cough! Is this old man going to suddenly throw an Eternal Spear at me? Maybe I should shout for three hundred years and see!

“This time, we will not trade lifespan. If you want these two items, you will have to offer something more sincere and more compelling to me,” Odin said, brandishing the Spear of Eternity in his hand as he looked at Rhodes.

We Asgard give real, tangible things, but you've been taking advantage of me all this time. Do you think I can't see through you?

As for lifespan, if he could live another 1,500 years, that would be enough for him. So he wanted to see if these three foreign gods had prepared anything else. They couldn't just come and make a deal with him using something like lifespan as leverage!

"Hahaha! Your Majesty, we have a power called Fel Magic, which is a very dangerous kind of magic. I wonder if you would be interested in learning it?" A green Fel Magic power appeared in Rhodes' palm.

“Is it that destructive power you possess? I have no interest in that power, nor do I want to learn it,” Odin said.

Don't think I don't know what that evil energy is. No matter how powerful it is, the Asgardians will never touch it.

"So tell me what you want, or what your wishes or desires are?"

"I want to know where the three of you are from?"

"You are not gods of this universe, are you? I can see that you do not belong to the gods of this universe," Odin said.

None of the gods in this universe, including the Celestials, could extend Odin's lifespan.

Only outsiders from other universes, or even outsiders who do not belong to this dimension, possess such power—a power completely detached from this world.

As a god-king, a being of the heavenly father level, Odin certainly had this much insight.

“Haha! As expected of Odin, the King of Gods, you are right. We are indeed not the gods of this world, so we have some things from other worlds that we can trade with you,” Rhodes said.

How about using some Order Magic? But this requires Sa's help, and besides, I'm afraid his clone's Order Magic power isn't enough to teach an Order King!

"I'm saying, if I wished to move Asgard to your universe, would you agree?" Odin asked after a moment's thought.

If there is another way to completely avoid Ragnarok, then there may be another way. The universe Asgard must be destroyed. This is a predetermined thing that cannot be avoided, only delayed.

But if Asgard were to disappear from this universe, it would mean that Asgard no longer exists, that Ragnarok has already occurred, and that even the Asgardians themselves are no longer here.

These words caused a huge uproar, and even some of the Asgardian guards present, as well as Odin's queen, looked on in astonishment.

What's going on? How did a perfectly good transaction turn into a relocation? Why does our own God-King want to move?

"So, Your Majesty, you want me to take your entire race, and Asgard, away from this universe, is that right?" Rhodes narrowed his eyes instantly and looked at Odin.

"Yes! I want to give the Asgardians a new place to live, a new environment. We Asgardians have lived in this universe long enough."

"We have explored the entire universe, and I feel it is time to take my people to live in other universes. If you would be willing to help, that would be even better," Odin said.

Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone about something as important as Ragnarok; in fact, he was the only one in all of Asgard who knew about it.

So his explanation to Rhodes was that he wanted to move the Asgardians to a new place to live.

A slight smile appeared on Rod's lips.

Haha! You're kidding me! You old man, you're really wicked.

Don't think I don't know that you want to avoid Ragnarok. Staying in this universe, you can only try to delay Ragnarok's arrival, but you can never avoid it.

In fact, in any world related to Norse mythology, Ragnarok is bound to come. Odin in countless worlds tried everything to avoid Ragnarok, but all his efforts failed.

So after meeting himself, Sargeras, Azeroth, and others, he had a new idea.

If I move to another universe and am no longer here, how can I trigger Ragnarok?

"Sometimes, what we call fate can actually be controlled by ourselves, am I right, Your Majesty?"

Rhodes suddenly uttered a meaningful remark and then looked at Odin, the king of gods.

Upon hearing this, Odin, the king of the gods, immediately turned grim. How did this kid know?

So-called destiny can sometimes be controlled by oneself. Isn't destiny just like Ragnarok?

This kid is taking control of his own destiny!

"Everyone, get out," Odin commanded, brandishing the Spear of Eternity in his hand.
