The creation of the world and all things

In the distant ancient times, when the world began, there were no seas, no rivers, no salty waves, and no sweet springs. There was no sky above, no land below, only swirling abysses and weeded wastelands.

After an unknown period of time, a warm wind blew from the south. The grass was green and the flowers were red on the wasteland, and the first spring appeared. The dead river crept, and the warm wind blew the ice beads into drops of water. The water gathered together and slowly formed two living bodies: the giant Yimir and the giant Brie were born.

Yimir and Bree have the ability to regenerate, and they use the warmth of their bodies to create new life. Yimir gave birth to a man and a woman in the warm moisture under the left armpit; and between the closed feet, gave birth to a son. Bree gave birth to a son Ball. Ball married Yimir's daughter Bee and gave birth to three gods: Odin, Phili, and Wei.

Yimir and Brie used their sweat to give birth to many more giants. The descendants of the giants increased. Except for Odin, Phili, and Wei who were gods, the rest were "Snow Giants", "Frost Giants", and "Mountain Giants". They were great and savage by nature, and did many bad things.

The three gods grew up day by day, and each developed extraordinary skills to fight back against the giants. The three gods worked together to kill the giant ancestor Yimir while he was sleeping during the long winter. They cut Yimir's blood vessels and flew to the highest ice peak. The blood of the giants drowned the wasteland and the iceberg. The giants were all drowned in a bottomless sea of blood. Only a wise giant couple hurriedly grabbed a piece of a ship and survived drowning, and the race of giants was not wiped out.

The wasteland was revealed again, and the loneliness and emptiness were restored. The three gods dragged Imir's huge body across the wasteland and used it to create the world. Imir's blood turned into oceans, his bones turned into mountains, his teeth turned into gravel, his skull was made into sky bends, his brain turned into clouds, his eyebrows were used to build cities on the earth, and his eyes turned into fountains.

The sun god, who has dedicated light and heat to the endless void for many years, made many stars to share his work and keep him company. The gods assigned the task of the sun, moon, and stars to ensure the growth of crops and help God remember the time. The gods also shaped the night and the day: the night was a loving and quiet woman, and her daughter was beautiful and lively every day.

In the process of creating the world, the family of gods also developed: the three great gods created a huge family of gods and distributed their responsibilities. Many gods needed a huge palace to live in. The gods hired a giant architect - he was one of the many giants born by the surviving giant couple. The architect promised to build the palace in one winter, but on one condition: if it was completed on time, he would be rewarded with the sun, the moon, and Freya, the goddess of love and beauty. The gods were delighted, thinking that he must be talking big, how could he build such a huge palace in one winter? Thinking like this, the gods agreed together: "Alright, alright! As long as you deliver the work as scheduled, it's up to you!"

Who knew that the giant had a stallion named Svadvari, who was a very good horse. The giant drove it to carry rocks as huge as mountains every night, and when winter was about to end three days away, only the gate pillars at the entrance of the palace were left unfinished.

The gods hurriedly held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. They sent a mare to lure the stallion into the depths of the forest. When the giant searched the mountains and forests to find his horse, the winter was over.

Although the palace was still unfinished, it did not affect its grandeur in the slightest. The gods lived in it, and it was really happy. One day, the three gods, Odin, Hornier, and Lordo, came to the earth again and walked by the sea. From a distance, the water and sky were the same, and the waves beat the fine sand, leaving foaming waterlines. What is a pile of dark things on the beach? The three gods walked forward and saw clearly the two tree stumps thrown ashore by the sea. The three gods were in a good mood and discussed: "Let's use it to create a new kind of life!"

So they made the stump look like a pair of human spouses: long bodies, smooth limbs, high noses and deep eyes, and blond hair. Odin gave them souls, Hornier gave them senses, Lordo gave them the ability to breathe and the ability to flow blood, and human beings were born. The three gods called their father of mankind Asker and the mother of mankind Embra, and ordered them to multiply on the earth, always worship to God, and be God's obedient subjects. Asker and Embra took the order and went.

Afterwards, God divided the sky, the earth and the underground into three realms: the sky is inhabited by the gods, there are people and other animals living on the earth, and the giants and dwarfs are driven to the dark state below the ground, and they are not allowed to leave casually. The gods planted a big tree next to the "Fountain of Life and Youth". The big tree is tall and dense, reaching up to the sky and down to the ground, with roots deeply piercing the soil, and the branches and leaves shade the whole world. Its towering branches and leaves stretch out into the light, sucking the rain from the sky; its powerful roots penetrate into the fountain of life and youth, ensuring that the tree is evergreen. This tree is the tree of life, the tree of luck, and all humans and animals who are shaded by it can enjoy happiness and well-being.

Since then, the world and all things were born, to this day.
