"Is a Titled Douluo challenging the three Kings of the Far North?" The military officer stationed in the Far North saw the sky in the distance, which was almost split in half.
At the end of the battle, an extremely brilliant divine light streaked across the emerald ice.
Electrolux returned to the cave where they had stayed before, bringing the two people and one worm who were watching the show.
"Heavenly tribulation, god-creation, Snow Empress…"
The Ice Empress, who seemed to have no damage other than a large consumption of energy, fell from the sky, murmuring to herself as she recalled the words of that human expert.
"King!"
A 100,000-year Ice Jade Scorpion rushed forward, guarding the Ice Empress.
Although the 100,000-year Spirit Beasts of the Far North were united against outsiders, apart from the Snow Empress, whose status was unshakeable, there were still many internal struggles within the Far North, as dictated by the law of nature.
"Ice Empress."
The terrifying Tai Tan, over a hundred meters tall, stepped forward, "That human just now."
"Not weaker than the Snow Empress. As for the rest, Tai Tan, I don't need to tell you."
After speaking, the Ice Empress walked directly forward, and the 100,000-year Spirit Beasts respectfully made way for her.
The Ice Empress's heart was a little chaotic.
That human expert clearly could have killed her directly at the end, but he didn't; instead, he said he knew she wasn't confident in surviving this 400,000-year heavenly tribulation and invited her to participate in the god-creation plan.
It had to be said, what that human said was correct; she indeed had little confidence in the upcoming heavenly tribulation.
And what made her heart most chaotic was the last sentence: "I know news of the Snow Empress."
What did this sentence mean?
Did something happen to the Snow Empress?
She hadn't seen the Snow Empress for a while, and the Snow Empress didn't appear when that human expert showed up just now.
No, she had to go and see.
...
"An Zhen, do you really think my Bingbing is the kind of beast who would be swayed by a few words?"
Tianmeng Iceworm expressed disdain for An Zhen's behavior of sitting there and waiting for the Ice Empress to come to him. His Bingbing was so intelligent, how could she come to him just because of a few words from others?
"Because of love."
Tianmeng Iceworm: ?
An Zhen, holding Huo Yutong in white silk, took a sip of hot milk.
He wanted the Ice Empress to verify something: whether the Snow Empress was truly in the Far North.
The fire dragon soul provided light and heat.
It was cool in his arms.
Outside was a World of ice and snow.
It was like eating ice cream indoors with the heater on in winter.
...
A few days ago.
While Huo Yutong was in seclusion, because there were too few descriptions in the original work about the Snow Empress being captured during her re-cultivation, and the only timeline clue was that the Snow Empress had sought out the Ice Empress before her re-cultivation, but the Ice Empress had already turned into a Spirit, An Zhen asked Teacher Electrolux to search for the Snow Empress's whereabouts to prepare for subduing the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.
"None."
"?"
An Zhen was puzzled.
With the power of his divine soul and the energy of the gold of life, in two or three days, Electrolux had almost scoured the entire Far North, but he had not found any trace of the so-called nearly 700,000-year-old Ice Sky Snow Woman.
"But your teacher did find this." Electrolux took out a cluster of plant roots still covered with frost and soil. "There's a lot of energy in it. It might be the root of the 100,000-year snow lotus you mentioned before."
An Zhen threw the root into the Virtual World.
"Youyou, help me identify the type of this root and the years it was nurtured before."
"Okay."
"It's a snow lotus." Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product gave the answer shortly. "We also have a thousand-year-old one here, but this one was nurtured for 100,000 years before."
100,000-year snow lotus.
Has the Snow Empress already re-cultivated into a human?
Or has the timeline of being sealed by the Seal God Stage in the original work advanced?
A transmigrator, or changes brought by this different timeline?
After all, Lord Huo has turned into a Huo loli.
Or, is this a certain God King interfering with this World?
...
"Boom!"
A green light shot into the cave. The moment the temperature dropped, a warm light appeared, dispelling the cold.
"Human, what did you do to the Snow Empress?!"
The Ice Empress's furious roar directed at Electrolux.
She had just gone to the Snow Empress's territory. Although the Snow Empress's subordinates were unwilling to reveal anything, she still risked offending the Snow Empress's dignity to search within her territory, ultimately finding nothing.
The Snow Empress was truly gone!
"Ice Empress, I think you need to clarify three points. First, in this matter, you are asking for our help. Second, we are more powerful. Lastly, the matter of the Snow Empress has absolutely nothing to do with us. You cannot blame us for what other humans have done, just as we haven't blamed you for what other Spirit Beasts have done."
A voice sounded unhurriedly.
"Oh my, Bingbing, you really came!"
Tianmeng Iceworm exclaimed.
The Ice Empress only then noticed the presence of a few ants in this cave.
A human girl with an aura that made her quite appetizing, but also vaguely gave her a sense of oppression.
A human boy who was unhurriedly enjoying his food.
There was also a fireball with a dragon soul in the air; why did she vaguely feel a great sense of threat?
"Tianmeng, you're not dead after all!"
A clear female voice came from a beautiful scorpion. Ice and emerald seemed to perfectly form a picture scroll, with distinct joints, as if made of the most brilliant gems in the World.
"Bingbing!"
"My dear Bingbing, you truly remember me!"
"Cough cough."
An Zhen mercilessly interrupted the estrous female worm, a thoughtful expression on his face. Even the Ice Empress hadn't found the Snow Empress, so it seemed the Snow Empress had truly disappeared and was no longer in the Far North.
Electrolux raised his hand to block Tianmeng Iceworm's soul voice; this big worm was too noisy.
"Human, do you know where the Snow Empress is?"
The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's gaze fell on An Zhen.
This was the most pressing matter for her right now.
"I know a little, but whether you believe it is up to you."
An Zhen took out an ice bowl that Yu Tong had made earlier, raised his hand, and filled the bowl with the Extreme Cold Ice Spring (the ice spring from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well). He gestured to a chair nearby, "Please."
"Troublesome."
The Ice Empress understood some human things. Although she found it troublesome, the contents of the bowl were indeed good—very pure ice element energy.
The 1.5-meter scorpion disappeared, replaced by an Ice Sky Snow Woman.
Her 1.5-meter body was petite and adorable, her delicate face bore the cold elegance of frost, and her long ink-green hair was tied into two bun ponytails. On her captivating cheeks, orange-yellow eyes held the dominance of a superior, and her beautiful emerald long dress, fair and slender calves were as exquisite as works of art, with two snow-white, delicate feet suspended in the air.
Cute, want to hug…
An Zhen sat holding Huo Yutong, the Ice Empress sat opposite them, and Electrolux sat between the two parties, preventing the possibility of the Ice Empress suddenly attacking.
An Zhen was going to tell the version from the original work. From the plucked 100,000-year snow lotus, it seemed the Snow Empress still chose the path of re-cultivation, but apparently, different changes had occurred.
"The Snow Empress's origin was damaged after her failed attempt at the Yin Yang Complementary Soul Core, and she felt she couldn't survive the 700,000-year tribulation—"
"Origin damaged!"
The Ice Empress was shocked.
This guy must be talking nonsense!
"Listen to me first!"
After glancing at Electrolux, the Ice Empress sat down.
"By chance, she obtained a 100,000-year snow lotus and used it to re-cultivate into a human. But in this extremely weak state, she unfortunately encountered a human carrying the Seal God Stage, who had entered the core of the Far North…"
Ultimately, she was sealed.
Huo Yutong listened very intently.
The Ice Sky Snow Woman, with over 600,000 years of cultivation, had so unluckily disappeared just like that.
"Despicable human!"
The Ice Empress was furious.
If it weren't for the presence of a powerful expert who could kill her, everything here would have been destroyed by her wrath long ago.
"You believe it?" An Zhen hadn't even taken out the evidence—the root of the 100,000-year snow lotus—although this item wasn't actually very convincing.
"I don't want to believe it, but I really haven't found the Snow Empress!" the Ice Empress said, somewhat dejected.
Even she hadn't found her, and coupled with the previous events, it was enough to show that the Snow Empress was no longer in the Far North. But even if the Snow Empress went out normally, she would tell her, after all, she was the backbone of the entire Far North. A responsible Snow Empress wouldn't suddenly disappear without reason.
Then there was only one possibility left—the Snow Empress had met with misfortune!
"But how did you know?"
The Ice Empress looked at An Zhen. You wouldn't be that despicable human, would you?
"That's my secret."
"Don't look at me like that. If I were that person, with a powerful expert like Teacher by my side, I would have used the Snow Empress to threaten you long ago."
An Zhen still remembered what the Snow Empress said in the original work: if there was a next life and their genders were different, she would marry the Ice Empress.
"Being sealed into the Seal God Stage, anyone qualified to use such a high-level spirit tool must be a Ninth-Level Soul Engineer, a Titled Douluo."
An Zhen gently stroked Huo Yutong's soft cheek in his arms, "Once the Seal God Stage is activated, the proud Ice Sky Snow Woman would certainly be unwilling to let her Spirit Bone fall into human hands, and her only choice in such a weak state…"
"Self-destruct!"
The Ice Empress gritted her teeth and spat out two words. She understood the Snow Empress's pride; she was the true ruler of the Far North, and in such a situation, she would definitely do that.
"I will go find her!"
She would definitely save the Snow Empress.
"With all due respect."
"If you, a beast, go, you'll just be delivering a Spirit Bone to humans!"
An Zhen stood up, his fervent gaze openly directed at the petite beauty.
"Ice Empress, I have a win-win solution for you, me, and the Snow Empress: the Soul Spirit and the god-creation plan. Are you interested in learning more?"
