"You mean, last night's storm wasn't a natural phenomenon? And the Thor we bumped into was Thor from the mythology!?" Jane's voice was filled with disbelief.
“You’re right, that’s exactly what I mean,” Zhang Bairen nodded in reply.
“To be honest, I have some doubts about it.” Jane’s eyes looked as if she were looking at a mental patient.
“I don’t believe it either! If he really is Thor, how could I stun him with a stun gun?” Daisy was equally skeptical.
"Whether you believe it or not, that's the truth."
Thor angered Odin because of his recklessness, so he was stripped of his divine powers and thrown to Earth.
In other words, Thor now is just an ordinary person who is stronger.
"That's why I was stunned by the stun gun," Zhang Bairen continued to explain.
Jane and Daisy were silent for a moment, then asked again, "Since Thor is the God of Thunder, what special identity do you have as his friend? Don't tell me you're just an ordinary human."
At this point, the two women gave each other a scrutinizing look.
Zhang Bairen smiled slightly, seeing through the two women's little tricks.
"Thor is the Norse god of thunder, while I am naturally a celestial being from Eastern mythology."
"As for his status, it's about the same as Thor's," Zhang Bairen replied with a smile.
The two women were stunned; they hadn't expected Zhang Bairen to answer like that.
Logically speaking, shouldn't the truth be revealed immediately?
"Immortals from the East? Do immortals and gods really exist in this world? If so, then what about God!?" Jane's mind was in complete turmoil.
"Respected immortal, may I ask if you can demonstrate your magic?" The quirky Daisy still refused to believe in these tales of gods and immortals.
“Of course, what do you want to see? Commanding the wind and rain? Lightning and thunder? Ever-changing phenomena? Or this kind of telepathic communication?” Zhang Bairen did not speak, but he transmitted his words to the minds of the two of them.
At that moment, they understood completely.
This world is not as simple as it seems!
Inside the cramped train carriage, two young women, under Zhang Bairen's guidance, reconstructed their worldview.
As for Eric, he just happened to be absent.
Jane's suburban research lab also needs someone to look after it.
After the three finished breakfast and their conversation, they prepared to drive back.
As for Thor, he would often frown, tremble, and sometimes talk in his sleep. Even his body would occasionally release blue arcs of electricity.

A thousand-year dream, a spiritual practice of reincarnation and rebirth, gradually captivated Thor, making it difficult for him to extricate himself.
After being reborn once or twice, Thor realized that this was a test from his father, so he began to learn and adapt on his own initiative.
The Zhou Dynasty was the longest-lasting dynasty in Chinese history.
This is partly due to the great distance in time and the lack of open-mindedness, but also because of the suitable systems of the Zhou Dynasty.
The strict system of rites and music established absolute hierarchy and rules.
The enfeoffment system, which expanded the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, increased its land area.
A clearly defined patriarchal system largely prevented intrigues and power struggles within secular monarchies.
This is why the Zhou Dynasty lasted so long and was so powerful.
In fact, the Zhou Dynasty perished because of the collapse of rites and music, the loss of the emperor's authority, the destruction of the patriarchal clan system, and the loss of reverence among the enfeoffed kings.
Moreover, not every emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was wise, and not every feudal lord who lived far from the emperor was honest.
Under these various conditions, the Zhou Dynasty declined.
Over these centuries of cycles, Thor pondered and learned a great deal.
A ruler should not rashly resort to arms or raise troops in anger.
War undermines the king's authority and harms his interests.
Even if victory is achieved in war, one's true situation will be exposed and thus known to the enemy.
A leader should be able to strategize and make good use of people.
The commander-in-chief of the three armed forces has many complex matters to attend to. Even if he has to worry about everything, there will be times when he is exhausted. Only by being good at using people and having a clear division of labor can the army be full of vitality.
A general is the courage of the army; he must be armored and wielding weapons, brave and invincible, becoming the sharpest blade in the army, piercing through the enemy and winning victory.
For soldiers, the courage of a common man and the ability to obey orders are essential for survival on the battlefield.
A commander governs his men, a general manages affairs, and a soldier governs himself.
Everyone should know the principle that each person should perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities.
Before his reincarnation, Thor was reckless, irritable, and easily angered. Despite possessing the identity of a king, the charisma of a commander, the bravery of a general, and the fearlessness of a soldier.
However, it violated the taboos of all four.
A king must personally venture into dangerous places; a commander must act recklessly; a general must lack the strength; a soldier must harm both himself and others.
Thor couldn't sleep at night, unable to forget his past foolishness.
In addition to these, Thor also learned about the advanced systems of the Zhou Dynasty.
For example, the elaborate rituals and music that elevated royal power to a supreme position.
For example, the patriarchal system that made Loki abandon his fantasies.
For example, the feudal system that allowed the Asgardians to expand their territory.
These can all be used for learning.
In today's view, the feudal system is outdated.
However, in reality, the feudal system was a system of warfare.
The prefectures and counties were subject to the central imperial power, and all their rights were confiscated.
The feudal system allowed for a high degree of independence and autonomy, and also enabled expansion and the occupation of more territory.
The newly established Zhou Dynasty was not as large as it would become later.
Isn't it just a matter of nominally dividing up the land and letting the feudal lords conquer it themselves?
Thor, based on the feudal system, thought of Ragnarok.
Since Ragnarok is unavoidable, could we wage wars outwards, spreading the Aesir's territory across the stars and allowing their people to live in different star systems?
In this way, even if their homeland is destroyed, the Aesir will not perish.
Thinking of this, Thor's heart began to race with excitement.
Since Loki wants the throne, fine, I will grant you the throne and the status.
As for the land and the people, as your elder brother, I can provide you with military strength, but everything else will have to be earned by yourself!
Hundreds of years have passed, and the events of that year have repeated themselves endlessly. Even Thor has been able to guess Loki's thoughts and actions.
But even if he guesses it, Thor's love for Loki will never change.
He can forgive Loki, and he can also find a new way out for Loki.
Anyway, Thor believed he had seen through all of his father's plans.
I can return to Asgard!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Thor, whose soul had grown, awoke from his coma.
His eyes first showed confusion, then a sudden realization.
Immediately following was ecstatic joy!
He passed! He truly passed his father's test!
Rays of lightning crackled around Thor.
However, due to a lack of life-and-death experience and desperate battles, Thor's full potential could not be fully unleashed, and his power as the God of Thunder was only awakened in a tiny fraction.
A transformation of the mind alone is far from enough!
Zhang Bairen looked at Thor and began to think about his future development plan.
Next, let's properly process our spiritual growth and alleviate our mental fatigue.
However, the physical body must undergo true iron-blooded tempering!
