Chapter 118. Odin gives Ultraman a gift.
Ji Yuan really didn't expect Odin to come to Earth. Could it be that the plan he faked his death to complete has already been finished?
"Greetings, Your Excellency the God of Light." Odin bowed slightly, displaying none of the air of a king, but rather like an elegant old gentleman.
"Um—hello Father of the Gods." Ji Yuan stood up and responded politely.
It's perfectly normal that Odin knew his true identity, because he had never hidden it from such a powerful being as Odin, since there was no need to.
After all, there aren't many powerful beings in this universe who are as sensible as Odin and the Ancient One; most are just too stubborn.
For example, the Molen family, the heirs who had been brutally beaten, still came to this universe to act recklessly despite knowing that there were powerful beings.
To prevent some mentally unstable individuals from mocking him, Ji Yuan's display of power has always been very humane. The strong will only see that he is even stronger, directly eliminating the possibility of him pretending to be weak while actually being strong.
However, when he encounters some interesting villains, he doesn't mind putting on an act and teasing them.
"Oh, you don't need to call me the Father of the Gods. I don't deserve that title in your presence. Just call me Odin." Odin was unusually flustered.
His title of Father of the Gods is actually symbolic and represents a ruling position, but in the presence of this supreme deity of the universe, the title seems somewhat exaggerated.
"Alright, you don't have to call me God of Light, just call me Ji Yuan." Ji Yuan stood up and poured a cup of tea for the King of the Nine Realms. After all, the other party was being so polite, so he couldn't be impolite in return.
"I wonder what brings you to Earth this time?" he asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Me?" Odin picked up his teacup and took a sip of hot tea. "I'm actually a little busy and would like to ask Mr. Ji Yuan for help. Of course, it won't be for nothing; I will give him a proper gift."
"Oh? Tell me more." Ji Yuan's eyes lit up. This was truly a case of finding something without even looking for it. He needed some things from Asgard and was thinking of having Thor ask his father for them, but now he didn't have to bother.
Odin put down his teacup and slowly said, "I sent my son Loki to Jotunheim, where the power you left behind resides. I hope to give him a good talking-to and make him realize his own insignificance."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately remembered that he had indeed left his power there, waiting for a qualified person to take up the Evolution Trust, but unfortunately, no one has been able to be attracted by the ruins so far.
As for Odin's meaning, it's pretty clear: he just doesn't want Loki to gain recognition.

Ji Yuan revealed a mischievous smile: "You're afraid that Loki will lose his true self after obtaining that power, aren't you?"
Odin nodded; he did indeed have this concern. Thor and Loki, both children, had some issues with their mental well-being.
He worried that Loki would become a different person after he gained power.
"You don't need to worry about that," Ji Yuan said with a smile, leaning back in his chair. "My choice of that power has extremely high standards. Loki couldn't even lift Mjolnir, let alone gain the recognition of that power. At least, the current Loki can't."
"As for a wake-up call, I'll bless that relic, and Loki will realize his own insignificance."
Ji Yuan raised an eyebrow, as if he could see the Loki of this universe questioning his existence.
Odin breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the test from the God of Light wouldn't be easy. With that, Loki's matter was settled.
I have plenty of time to properly train and cultivate my skills.
"Actually, there's something else I need your help with, and it's best to entrust this to you."
After Odin finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a crystal-clear red gem appeared in his hand, radiating a power that distorted the rules of reality.
"The Reality Stone?" Ji Yuan asked in surprise. "Isn't it with the Dark Elves? How did it end up in your hands?"
Odin smiled, a kingly aura emanating from his brows. He slowly spoke, "The Dark Elf King Malekith has been slain by me, and this gem that could potentially wreak havoc on the Nine Realms is now in my hands."
"However, I do not believe I can safeguard this gem properly. Its power is too great. If I were to keep it, it might attract other beings. It would be better to entrust it to you to prevent its powerful force from destroying the world."
After saying that, he placed the Reality Gem on the table.
"Asgard will pay a storage fee."
Ji Yuan was a little confused. Malekith's unexpected death was insignificant, but wasn't giving him the Reality Stone a gift?
Moreover, other gifts were given in exchange for safeguarding the Reality Gem, and he sensed a bribe, or rather, a desire to curry favor.
But that's why Odin is the ruler of the nine realms. Look at the wisdom behind his gift-giving; it's flawless. Everything he did was to prevent a powerful force from destroying the world.
It was as if giving gifts had become a noble and righteous thing, which Ji Yuan was happy to see. He was quite interested in the Infinity Stones, as they would help him deepen his "Word of Power" system.
"Alright, protecting the universe is my duty!"
Ji Yuan reached out and took the Reality Stone. Odin had already said so much, so why not take it?
Odin was secretly delighted. The most crucial step in his retirement plan had been completed. With the Infinity Stones in the hands of this ancient and powerful God of Light, he truly couldn't imagine who in this universe could take them.
"I don't know what Ji Yuan is most interested in about Asgard. I will do my best to prepare, after all, safeguarding the Reality Stone is an extremely dangerous matter."
"Um-.--
To be honest, Odin's flattery made Ji Yuan feel embarrassed, but it was indeed very satisfying, so he had to go along with Odin's wishes and couldn't ask for too much.
"I need some Asgardian metals, as well as some special minerals. We are building a super facility that requires precious metals."
"That's easy." Odin laughed, and with a flick of his arm, he reached directly into the void, seemingly groping for something.
He quickly took out a bulging dimensional pocket from inside and handed it to Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan's consciousness probed into it.
Shhh!
The Uru gold, various asgardian metals and minerals, as well as fragments of star cores radiating stellar power and some rare treasures—it was all incredibly luxurious, demonstrating the profound resources of Asgard.
"How is it? Is it enough?" Odin asked with a smile.
"That's enough, that's enough," Ji Yuan replied with a smile.
After thinking for a moment, he then invited, "Would you be interested in taking a look at the super facility we built?"
"Extremely happy to."
