"Crack... crack..."
The sound of shattering grew more frequent. On the ice-blue cocoon, cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb, and finally, at a certain moment, it burst open!
Countless ice-blue streams of light scattered, then transformed into tiny ice-blue fireflies, lingering in the surroundings, dreamlike and illusory. In the center of the light, a figure appeared. Her posture was still tall and slender, a fitted white dress gently outlining her perfect curves. Her snow-white hair cascaded to her waist, and her ice-blue eyes shimmered with a faint glow. She lowered her head slightly, looking at her slender, delicate fingers with a hint of confusion, then gently clasped them. Immediately, a flash of understanding crossed her eyes. She had succeeded; she had truly transformed from a Spirit Beast into a human.
Kong Mingan stepped forward immediately, without hesitation extending his hand to grasp her wrist. spirit power flowed through his fingertips, meticulously investigating every Energy flow and vital sign within her body.
This was to confirm whether her body's condition after transformation was stable and perfect.
A moment later, Kong Mingan released her hand, letting out a slight sigh of relief, his expression relaxing: "No problem, the transformation was very successful, with no hidden dangers. How do you feel?"
The Snow Empress moved her body slightly, feeling this completely different physique. Her clear, cold voice held a hint of novelty: "Very good... a very peculiar feeling."
She paused slightly, as if sensing something. Then, with a thought, below her, a full nine spirit rings rose in sequence!
Black, Black, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red!
Two black, seven red!
A terrifying, suffocating spirit power fluctuation instantly filled the entire laboratory. That immense aura had undoubtedly reached the limit of human Spirit Masters—a Rank 99 Limit Douluo!
The Ice Empress, observing from the side, carefully sensed the Snow Empress's aura, quickly confirming that it was indeed the Snow Empress, only her life form had completely transformed from a Spirit Beast to a human. A hint of contemplation flashed in the Ice Empress's eyes. Perhaps because the Snow Empress was originally an humanoid Spirit Beast, a Snow Maiden, her appearance barely changed after transformation?
The Snow Empress closed her eyes, carefully experiencing the sensation of being human. A moment later, she opened her eyes, her ice-blue pupils holding an indescribably complex emotion: "I can feel... some inherent shackles on me seem to have... disappeared."
"And... the next Heavenly Tribulation, which I could roughly sense before, is now completely undetectable. It's as if... the Heavenly Tribulation no longer considers me a target?"
"What?!" The Ice Empress slightly lost her voice, "The Heavenly Tribulation disappeared? It really disappeared?! Is it true, Snow Empress?"
The Snow Empress paused slightly, sensed again, then her tone became firm: "Yes, I'm sure, the Heavenly Tribulation has indeed disappeared."
The Ice Empress blinked her big eyes, her shock beyond words. She involuntarily glanced at Kong Mingan beside her, her gaze completely changed. She felt that this guy was becoming increasingly outrageous.
Kong Mingan pondered thoughtfully for a moment, then spoke: "Snow Empress, try switching back to your original Spirit Beast form and see?"
Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress nodded slightly. Immediately, her seventh spirit ring, the red spirit ring symbolizing the "anchor point" of her Martial Soul True Body, subtly glowed. A faint ice-blue light emanated from the Snow Empress's body. The process lasted about one or two seconds, then the light dissipated. The Ice Empress, who was nearby, felt it most clearly: that incomparably familiar Spirit Beast aura, belonging to the Dominator of the Extreme North, had returned!
Even though the Snow Empress seemed no different from before, the Ice Empress could confirm that the Snow Empress at this moment had transformed back into a Spirit Beast from her human form!
"How does it feel?" Kong Mingan asked.
The Snow Empress slightly furrowed her delicate brows, her tone carrying a clear discomfort: "That feeling of shackles has returned... and, the perception of the Heavenly Tribulation has reappeared."
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Having just experienced the ease of being free from shackles and the Heavenly Tribulation, transforming back into a Spirit Beast, the heavy feeling of restraint and the threat of the sword hanging over her head reappeared, making her inexplicably uncomfortable.
Kong Mingan pondered, recalling a widely circulated rule of the God Realm, "Spirit Beasts cannot become gods." The so-called shackles and Heavenly Tribulation were likely part of that rule.
He said softly, "Change back to human."
The Snow Empress switched back to her human form again, her body visibly relaxing a few points. A complex expression appeared on her beautiful face. How was it... that after becoming human, she no longer wanted to change back into a Spirit Beast? This feeling... was so strange.
She remained silent for a moment, processing this novel and contradictory psychological change.
Next, Kong Mingan began to meticulously record various data after the Snow Empress's transformation. He then reached out again, grasping her wrist, inputting spirit power to carefully sense the subtle changes in her Meridians, Dantian, Sea of Spirit, and other areas.
The Ice Empress, standing by, watched their hands clasped together again, feeling a dull ache in her chest. She tried to speak but found no reason to, so she could only sit by and watch, her heart filled with a sense of powerlessness...

A moment later, after finishing the examination of the Snow Empress and confirming that using the Martial Soul True Body as the "anchor point" for form switching had no issues, Kong Mingan finally relaxed. The transformation was complete. Next was the modification of the spirit rings, the condensation of the spirit core, and the perfect Fusion of the two.
Kong Mingan looked at the Snow Empress. Their gazes met, and without needing words, a mutual understanding was shared.
"Leave everything to me from now on; don't resist," Kong Mingan said softly. The Snow Empress understood and nodded slightly.
Then, under the Ice Empress's gaze, Kong Mingan stepped forward and gently embraced the Snow Empress.
The Snow Empress's body stiffened slightly, faint ripples appearing in her ice-blue eyes, but she quickly relaxed, gently returning Kong Mingan's embrace, remaining still.
The Ice Empress, watching from the side, remained silent, a strange sense of... numbness already growing in her heart.

However, before the Ice Empress could feel more emotions, the next moment, a brilliant ice-blue light simultaneously illuminated the two embracing figures, then completely engulfed them!
The Ice Empress was stunned. She clearly felt the auras of Kong Mingan and the Snow Empress undergoing a Fusion at that moment!
She stared intently. A moment later, the light gradually dissipated, and stepping out of the light was a tall, slender young man.
He wore a luxurious and well-fitted moon-white robe, with exquisite ice patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs. His snow-white hair fell naturally, a few strands cascading over his chest, accentuating his fair skin. His face was handsome; upon closer inspection, he resembled Kong Mingan by about seventy percent, a grown-up version, of course. Yet, in his brows and eyes, he blended three parts of the Snow Empress's unique cold and ethereal charm. His ice-blue eyes were like an ancient frozen pond, flowing with pure coldness and exquisite clarity. "————"
The Ice Empress's heart uncontrollably paused for a moment. She looked at this face, which combined the features of both, a face that was excessively beautiful. Very ungracefully, her throat subtly bobbed. Damn it, this mere human... now only bore a three-tenths resemblance to the Snow Empress, yet how could she... completely be unable to resist?!
