Frigga brought Thor to the front of the palace where Odin was, then gave Thor an encouraging look and gently pushed open the door.
Thor took a deep breath, took a step forward and entered the palace. There were only Thor and Odin in the huge palace. Although there were few people, it did not seem empty.
"Thor, you're here." Odin stood up from his chair and said to Thor who was looking more and more like a king.
"Yes, father, there are some things I hope you can teach me." This might be the first time that Thor faced Odin so elegantly. He used to be always noisy, acting like he was the boss, the second most important, the second most important, the third most important, and me the fourth most important.
"Come with me." Odin walked down from the throne without any weapons and took Thor to the back of the palace.
"I thought it might take you a long time to get in touch with this, or even never, but your speed of progress really impressed me." Odin said as he opened a quaint door.
After Thor followed Odin in, Odin continued, "This is the history of Asgard, without any embellishment."
After hearing Odin's words, Thor found that everything in front of him began to change. He seemed to have suddenly arrived in the universe. Time was moving forward rapidly at this moment. Soon, time stopped and returned to the backward direction.
"At this time, Asgard was not yet the leader of the Nine Realms, nor was it a prosperous race. The Asgardians were just an ordinary name in the Nine Realms and the universe, without any reputation bonus." Odin's figure appeared beside Thor.
Then the entire universe began to fast forward, and Asgard began to develop rapidly.
"I think the Asgardians cannot just live on this piece of land. We should and must have enough territory. We should be the rulers." Odin continued, "To achieve this goal, we need many warriors and many weapons."
Thor saw that the weapons in the hands of the Asgard soldiers were updated quickly several times. Seeing this, he subconsciously glanced at his own Thor's hammer, which should be the most advanced weapon at present.
"There are many races with similar ideas in the Nine Realms, so we have successively fought against the Frost Giants, Dark Elves and other races. Of course, we are the final winners." Odin's words are the best interpretation of this period of history.
Thor saw that the Frost Giants surrendered to Odin after suffering huge losses, and his clan's artifact was also collected by Odin in the treasury, but this artifact should be in Loki's hands now.
"Soon, all nine realms submitted to Asgard's rule."
Indeed, it happened very quickly. The entire history flashed through Thor's eyes like a stream of light as Odin spoke, and the other races of the Nine Realms expressed their submission to Asgard and Odin one by one.
"Wait, father, who was that? Did your vanguard officer rebel?" Thor was a little surprised when he looked at this part of history.
"She is not only my vanguard, but also your sister. However, it is not important now. When you find your own path, you will know everything." Odin said slowly after watching Hela's figure flash past him.
Thor was a little surprised because he never knew he had a sister, but now was not the time to delve into it.
"After the Nine Realms surrendered, Asgard's conquest also came to an end. I found that years of continuous killing have spread death throughout the Nine Realms, and life is dim. This is not a good phenomenon, so I decided to withdraw the army and let the entire Nine Realms recuperate." Odin continued to tell Thor his thoughts.
Soon the history of Asgard will be played out and the timeline is almost approaching the present.
"Now I think you should know why I exiled you." Odin said as he looked at the scene of Thor being thrown to Midgard.
"I know, because I acted rashly, and ultimately refused to repent even though I didn't win the fight." Thor said. He also felt that he was too naive at that time. He always thought that he could solve everything with his little bit of strength, and he had no self-awareness at all.
"That's right, but this is not the key point. The key point is flexibility." Odin waved his hand to disperse the historical scene.
"I think a king must have the courage to face reality. He must admit that nothing in this world is immortal. It is unrealistic to rely solely on strength, intelligence, or means. You and Loki don't understand this."
"What I want to tell you today is my understanding of this path over the years. When you can't control the tide of time, you have to go with the tide. Don't go against the tide unless it's absolutely necessary. You have to keep thinking, check for loopholes, and find a more perfect path."
Odin looked at Thor and said softly. He hadn't talked to his children for a long time. "There is another thing I have learned recently. You must trust your subordinates and your family. Their growth may surprise you. In addition, hiding things is not a good idea."
Thor nodded, not quite understanding. Odin's words were not complicated, but it was a little difficult for him to keep thinking and checking for omissions all the time.
"Don't think too deeply about it. My path is just like the three kings you mentioned. They are all part of this main road. You will eventually find your own path." Odin continued, "Now I will analyze the key points of the three paths for you. Please write them down and think about them carefully."
"The paths of Gilgamesh and Iskandar are centered on the king, while the path of Artoria is just the opposite. The king is the least important one. This is the relationship between the king, the country, and the race in their paths."
"Also, Gilgamesh's path shows extreme distrust of others, while Iskandar shows extreme trust in himself. Artoria's words reveal extreme distrust of herself."
"At the same time, I guess that Gilgamesh's country must have been facing tremendous external pressure at the time, and this kind of pressure is simply not something that ordinary people can bear. Iskandar's country must have had certain internal pressures, and conquering the world is a good way to transfer this pressure. I can't see Altria very clearly, but I guess she must have had many adventures to become like this."
When Odin finally analyzed Altria, he looked at Thor, as if hinting at something.
"Thor, go back and think carefully, look carefully, and ask yourself where the way is." Odin said finally.
