At this moment,
The scene appearing on the screen was crystal clear, reflected perfectly in the eyes of the soul masters watching from the dimensional gap.
After hearing the explanation from the Devouring Ice Python on the screen, everyone gained a clear understanding of the situation.
At the same time, they felt a deep envy for the opportunities that the parallel-world version of Huo Yuhao had received.
For the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, however, a sense of relief washed over them.
Ice Emperor: "So that's how it all happened…"
"No wonder we searched the entire Extreme North for so long and still couldn't find this inheritance."
"It wasn't meant for us in the first place!"
Snow Emperor: "What surprised me most, though, was the owner of that ancient tree."
"You should have heard it— even the Devouring Ice Python admitted that the owner of the ancient tree is someone even the Ice God holds in utmost respect."
"It seems that the owner of that ancient tree is truly extraordinary."
Ice Emperor: "Indeed. But now that I think about it, it makes sense. Otherwise, why would the Ice God personally hand his inheritance to Huo Yuhao in a parallel world? It must be because the ancient tree's owner is no ordinary being."
Snow Emperor: "Regardless, for the parallel-world Huo Yuhao, this is a tremendous opportunity. Successfully passing the trial would grant him the Ice God's inheritance—the very faith of all soul beasts in the Extreme North!"
The Ice Emperor nodded in agreement, though a trace of worry remained in his eyes.
Ice Emperor: "Still, whether he can truly complete the trial depends on Huo Yuhao's fortune. After all, this is a test set by the Ice God himself—it's certainly no ordinary challenge."
"Even the parallel-world Huo Yuhao might not pass it smoothly."
Snow Emperor nodded knowingly.
The two beasts once again fixed their gaze on the screen.
Meanwhile,
After watching the images on the screen, the God of Destruction's face broke into an amused smile.
God of Destruction: "As I expected… exactly as I guessed!"
"The owner of that mysterious artifact—who could they be? This only makes me more curious."
He murmured to himself, then turned his gaze back to the screen.
On the screen,
The Devouring Ice Python's explanation had helped Huo Yuhao understand the situation fully.
The Python then led Huo Yuhao to a mysterious space.
The ground was covered in thick snow, and beneath the snow lay a solid layer of ice.
Seeing this white expanse, Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious.
He asked the Python at his feet: "Senior, have we arrived?"
The Devouring Ice Python lowered Huo Yuhao gently to the ground.
Devouring Ice Python: "Yes, we have arrived. Welcome… to the Frozen Realm."
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. "The Frozen Realm? That name fits this place perfectly."
The Python smiled. "Though it's called the Frozen Realm, it's not named for the ice and snow alone."
"The name comes largely from the fact that time, space, soul power, and all other natural laws here are completely frozen."
"Simply put, no matter how long you stay here, you won't age. Time here doesn't flow. At the same time, there's no need to eat, but you also cannot cultivate—this space contains no soul power."
Huo Yuhao blinked in surprise. This was the first time he had heard of such a phenomenon.
"Do you live here normally?" he asked.
The Python shook its head. "This is only a trial ground prepared by the Ice God. I myself cannot enter this place ordinarily."
Huo Yuhao asked again: "So… the trial left for me is—?"
The Python gestured to the air above.
Huo Yuhao looked up and saw an enormous hourglass suspended in midair.
It stood dozens of meters tall, with a width of over ten meters, and the sand within flowed extremely slowly.
A bad premonition filled Huo Yuhao's heart.
The Devouring Ice Python continued:
Python: "Your trial is to remain alone in this space, enduring the cold and solitude. When all the sand in the hourglass has fallen, you will have passed the trial."
"However, I must warn you: once the trial begins, it cannot be stopped. Even if you regret it, even if the loneliness and isolation drive you to the brink of madness, the trial cannot be halted."
"You must carefully consider whether to accept the Ice God's challenge."
"Worth noting: although time here is frozen, the sand in the hourglass represents roughly ten thousand years in the Douluo Continent. Consider this well."
The Python then fell silent, leaving Huo Yuhao to think for himself.
Huo Yuhao understood the gravity of this choice and fell into deep, silent thought.
In the dimensional gap, the soul masters watching this scene tensed.
Wang Dong'er: "Will the parallel-world Yuhao accept the trial?"
"Ten thousand years of solitude and cold isn't a joke."
"No human lifespan even comes close to that."
Wang Qiuer: "Yuhao, if it were you… would you accept?"
Huo Yuhao: "Ten thousand years of cold and solitude…"
"To live alone in this frozen wasteland for so long—no food, no friends, no cultivation… nothing."
"To endure this for ten thousand years… I'd probably go insane."
"I don't know if I have the courage to take this trial."
The Snow Emperor within him exhaled quietly.
Snow Emperor: "Ten thousand years of loneliness and cold?"
"Cold is one thing, but ten thousand years of solitude… even for us, just thinking about it is terrifying."
"Even soul beasts cannot go ten thousand years doing nothing in complete isolation—unless, like Tianmeng, they just sleep the whole time."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm twitched its mouth, and the Ice Emperor let out a similar sigh.
She murmured: "Yes… this is extremely difficult."
"But… will the parallel-world Huo Yuhao shrink from this challenge?"
