Chapter 89 Snow Empress's Awakening Almost Caused an Uproar! Ice Emperor Cries Out: Xue'er, It's Me!
"good."
Dai Huabin placed the Investiture Platform on the ground, not in a hurry to make a move.
"However, Elder Yi will be needed to oversee the operation before it begins."
Ice Emperor looked up at him, her emerald green twin tails swaying slightly.
"Why?"
"Think about it, if the Conferred God Platform opens and the Snow Empress goes berserk, can you control her?"
Ice Emperor opened her mouth, then closed it again.
She stood there in silence for a few seconds, her mind racing through the thoughts.
She knew Xue Di's personality best. After being sealed away by humans for so long, her first reaction upon being released would definitely not be to communicate calmly.
Given Xue Di's temper, there's a high chance she'll just explode.
However, her strength is indeed inferior to that of the Snow Empress.
Ice Emperor's fingers clenched slightly.
"Alright then." Her voice was low, tinged with reluctance.
Dai Huabin closed his eyes, his spiritual power sinking inward, touching the eye of the living being deep within his spiritual sea.
"Old Master Yi."
Within the Eye of Life, a phantom figure slowly materialized. A greyish-white robe, an aged yet gentle face.
After being continuously nourished by the Gold of Life during this period, Electrolux's fragments of consciousness had recovered considerably, and his overall outline was much clearer than before.
Electrolux stepped out of the Eye of the Living Dead, his phantom appearing in the undead demiplane.
"Hua Bin, I understand your concerns."
Electrolux's voice was steady.
"But open it with confidence. Within this undead demiplane, I can control everything."
Dai Huabin nodded: "Thank you, Elder Yi."
Ice Emperor glanced at Electrolux.
She had always been somewhat wary of this old man who existed in Dai Huabin's mental world.
But now it concerned Xue Di.
"Thank you," Ice Emperor said softly.
Electrolux nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
Dai Huabin squatted down and placed his hands on either side of the Investiture of the Gods Platform.
Xu Jiujiu's method for activating it was simple: inject soul power into the four rune nodes on the altar base and activate them in a specific order, and the seal would automatically dissipate.
He took a deep breath and placed his finger on the first node.
The pale blue soul power seeped into the runes through his fingertips, causing the runes to glow with a dark golden luster.
The moment the four nodes lit up simultaneously, the semi-transparent spherical seal cover at the top of the Consecration Platform emitted a soft sound, and dense cracks appeared on its surface.
The seal shattered.
In an instant, an extremely pure aura of ice and snow surged out from the Conferred God Platform, and the temperature of the entire undead demiplane dropped by more than ten degrees.
Fine snowflakes began to fall from the gray sky, and a thin layer of frost formed on the ground.
The white mist rose from the seal, spinning rapidly in mid-air and expanding in size quickly.
Electrolux's phantom took half a step forward, a clear look of surprise appearing on his aged face.
"It's an elemental ice and snow sprite?"
He had lived for countless years and seen countless living beings, but elemental spirits born of nature were extremely rare.
Even in the Holy Demon Continent, there were not many pure elemental spirits.
Dai Huabin didn't have time to respond to Electrolux's reflections because the atmosphere inside the Conferred God Platform changed too quickly.
"Bing'er, quickly contact the Snow Empress!"
He had barely finished speaking.
A chillingly cold voice burst forth from the white mist.
"Despicable humans! Even if I die, I will not let you have your way!"
The voice wasn't loud, but every word carried a chilling edge and undisguised hatred.
The white mist suddenly expanded, and the energy inside the mist surged dramatically. A large number of ice crystals burst out from it, crashing onto the ground with a crackling sound.
The temperature was still dropping, and the ground of the undead demiplane was already covered with a layer of ice about an inch thick.
Dai Huabin took two steps back.
He could feel the terrifying power of that energy. It was the primordial power of a 700,000-year-old soul beast, and even though it had been sealed and weakened by more than half, it was still something he couldn't withstand in his current state.
Electrolux raised his hand.
But someone was faster than him.
Ice Emperor rushed to the Consecration Platform and placed her hands on the expanding white mist.
Emerald green ice erupted from her palm, colliding with the icy energy within the light mist.
Two ice powers, though of the same origin, clashed, producing a sharp buzzing sound.
Ice Emperor's emerald green ice light firmly locked the white mist, suppressing its expansion.
"Xue'er! It's me! Ice Emperor! Stop right now!"
Ice Emperor's voice rose, filled with an unprecedented urgency.
The expansion of the white light mist suddenly stopped.
There was a silence of about two seconds.
"Bing...Bing'er?"
The cold voice changed; the hatred faded, replaced by disbelief and bewilderment.
"Were you caught too?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin's heart tightened.
Xue Di's first reaction was that Ice Emperor had also been captured by humans. This showed that her hostility towards humans had reached its peak.
Ice Emperor did not answer this question.
"Xue'er, stop for a moment."
Ice Emperor slowed down her speech, speaking each word clearly: "Take back the energy, and I will tell you everything."
The energy fluctuations within the light mist rose and fell violently a few times, as if the Snow Empress was hesitating.
"Is it really you?"
"It's me."
Ice Emperor reached her hand into the light mist; the emerald green ice light mingled with the white mist.
"Feel this; this is my aura. Can this aura be faked?"
A few more seconds passed.
The expansion of the white light mist finally stopped.
The expanding energy began to slowly recede, the ice crystals stopped shooting out, and the temperature drop also stopped.
Electrolux lowered his raised hand, took a step back, and gave more space.
Dai Huabin breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at Electrolux, who nodded slightly at him.
Above the Conferred God Platform, the white light mist shrank into a palm-sized ball of light, which hovered in mid-air.
Inside the ball of light, one could vaguely see the outline of a small, curled-up human figure, entirely white, resembling an infant that was not yet fully formed, but larger than an infant.
Ice Emperor held the ball of light in both hands, her fingertips trembling slightly.
"Xue'er, listen to me."
Ice Emperor's voice was very low, and all traces of her usual arrogance were gone.
She recounted the whole story from the beginning.
Dai Huabin appeared in the far north, signed a blood pact, obtained the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow and the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and finally searched for the whereabouts of the Snow Emperor.
Ice Emperor didn't embellish or exaggerate; she simply presented the facts one by one.
"His name is Dai Huabin, a human."
Ice Emperor's emerald green eyes were fixed on the huddled figure within the ball of light.
"I signed a blood pact with him. He helped me extend the lifeline of the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow and then traded you for me from a human auction house."
The ball of light remained quiet for a long time.
Dai Huabin stood a few steps away, not interrupting. This was a matter between the Ice Emperor and the Snow Empress; he shouldn't speak up.
About a minute passed.
"You signed a blood pact with a human, binding you to a life together?"
The Snow Empress's voice came from the ball of light, and her tone was complicated.
"right."
"Are you crazy, Bing'er?"
"I'm not crazy," Ice Emperor replied, her tone hardening.
"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to withstand the heavenly tribulation that lasts for four hundred thousand years."
Silence fell again within the ball of light.
"So you signed the blood pact first, and then had him come to me?"
"almost."
How can you be sure he won't change his mind?
Ice Emperor snorted, "The bond between soul and life, can he go back on his word?"
Dai Huabin listened from the side, his lips twitching slightly. Ice Emperor's words, though crude, were indeed true.
The light in the orb flickered slightly, as if the Snow Empress was processing the information.
