Chapter 96: Snow Empress's Soul Spirit
Inside the spiritual sea, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm observed the Sealed God Platform in the outside world and sighed with emotion, "Such a strong reaction to Bingbing's aura—this means that the soul beast embryo inside is indeed Snow Empress's embryo. Even the strongest soul beast in the Extreme North has no confidence in surviving the impending heavenly tribulation, so she's preparing to transform into a human?" For a moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt a pang of sadness. He never understood why soul beasts had to endure heavenly tribulations. They lived long lives, but in this regard, they were far less privileged than humans. In his eyes, humans were the most potentially powerful beings on the Douluo Continent.
Electrolux said, "I can sense that the soul beast sealed within this Sealed God Platform has a spiritual power level far beyond the little scorpion. If this is the strongest soul beast in the Extreme North you speak of, then it truly lives up to its reputation. However, this soul beast is still at the level of spiritual awareness and has yet to reach the level of divine consciousness."
"The level of divine consciousness... Elder Yi, perhaps only you can reach such a level." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt helpless. He used to have great confidence in his spiritual power, but after encountering Electrolux, that confidence vanished instantly. Electrolux's spiritual power was minimal in quantity but incomprehensibly high in level.
Inside the Sealed God Platform.
"This is… Bing'er?"
Snow Empress was utterly stunned. Though she couldn't break through the Sealed God Platform, she could sense the aura outside and hear the voices. She had known Ice Empress for many years and had even saved her life, so when she felt Ice Empress's presence outside, she recognized her immediately.
"No, this isn't right. Why is Bing'er here? This is impossible! I searched the Extreme North for her and could never find her. I thought she had perished under the heavenly tribulation… Could she have also chosen to transform and was then captured by humans with a soul device?"
Her mind was racing.
"Snow Empress ."
At that moment, Ice Empress temporarily controlled Huo Yuhao's body. Looking at the Sealed God Platform, she sighed, "I know you must be confused, so I will explain everything to you."
Ice Empress then recounted how she was tricked by Tianmeng into joining the God-Making Plan, becoming Huo Yuhao's intelligent spirit ring, and all the events that followed.
Inside the Sealed God Platform, the white energy currents surged violently, a clear sign of Snow Empress's emotional turmoil. This was a natural reaction—after all, the God-Making Plan was an earth-shattering concept.
Seeing this, Ice Empress turned to Huo Yuhao for his opinion. "Yuhao, can I release Snow Empress now? She's still inside the Sealed God Platform, so I can't get a response from her. But don't worry, I've known Snow Empress for many years—I understand her personality. Even if I release her, she won't harm you."
"Snow Empress " was Ice Empress's personal way of addressing Snow Empress, just as Snow Empress called her "Bing'er."
Huo Yuhao immediately replied, "Ice Empress, go ahead. As long as the Sealed God Platform is destroyed, Snow Empress will be free."
The interior of the Sealed God Platform was extremely sturdy—strong enough that even Snow Empress couldn't break free. However, its exterior was exceptionally fragile and could be easily destroyed.
Upon hearing this, Ice Empress said, "Snow Empress, I'm about to set you free. Be sure to restrain your power and aura."
With that, Ice Empress struck out, instantly shattering the Sealed God Platform.
The next moment, a massive surge of white cold energy spread from the platform's remains. A young girl, no more than two or three years old, with snow-white skin, stood in midair. She wore a pure white gauzy dress and looked extremely adorable.
This form was to be expected—since Snow Empress had been captured while undergoing transformation, it was natural that, upon breaking free, she would appear in the infant-like form all transformed soul beasts started with.
Snow Empress gazed at "Huo Yuhao," her icy green eyes scanning him while sensing Ice Empress's aura. Moments ago, she had already realized that Ice Empress had become Huo Yuhao's intelligent spirit ring.
She spoke, "Bing'er, this is the human you chose? Even though both you and Tianmeng have sided with him, I still believe that creating a god is an incredibly difficult feat. A thousand years ago, many humans on the Douluo Continent inherited divine positions. But in the last thousand years, no new humans have done so. I suspect the divine positions available in this world are limited."
As the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, Snow Empress had always been interested in matters related to the divine, as they represented a power far beyond hers. She had killed many soul masters who had invaded the Extreme North and learned much from them—especially about the legends of Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils, as well as the Twin Gods of Spirit Hall.
Ice Empress replied, "Snow Empress, I knew you'd say that. Creating a god is indeed no easy task… but what if Yuhao was already a god to begin with?"
Snow Empress was taken aback, her small face showing an expression of shock. "Already a god? Bing'er, what do you mean?"
Ice Empress then explained how Huo Yuhao was actually a reincarnated god undergoing mortal cultivation—a concept originally concocted by Huo Yuhao himself to fool Ice Empress, Tianmeng, and even Electrolux.
After finishing the explanation, Ice Empress said, "Snow Empress, join us. You saved my life, and though you've transformed into a human and avoided heavenly tribulation, if you never ascend to godhood, your life will eventually come to an end."
Snow Empress was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly. "Bing'er, it's not that I don't want to join your God-Making Plan… but my origin energy is too vast. And Huo Yuhao doesn't have a third martial soul without form. If I join, he might not even make it to becoming a god—he'd die from being overwhelmed."
Inside the spiritual sea, Huo Yuhao thought that was indeed a valid concern.
But it didn't matter—Elder Yi would take care of it.
As expected, Electrolux's voice echoed through the spiritual sea, "This problem… is relatively easy to solve."
After some time, through the combined efforts of Electrolux, Ice Empress, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and Snow Empress, Huo Yuhao's Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul gained two golden-orange spirit rings.
The collaboration was necessary because Snow Empress, unlike in the original timeline, had not self-destructed. This meant she retained her full strength, making her origin energy incredibly vast.
Tianmeng had been able to merge with the original Huo Yuhao because he was nothing but a spiritual remnant, incapable of even producing a soul bone. Ice Empress had merged because Huo Yuhao's martial soul lacked a concrete form.
Thus, converting Snow Empress into a soul spirit was far more difficult. Though Electrolux was powerful, he was merely a fragment of divine consciousness. Only by coordinating with Tianmeng and Ice Empress could he effectively suppress Snow Empress's vast energy and seal it within Huo Yuhao.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao regained control of his body. Floating beside him was Snow Empress in her childlike form. However, because she had not self-destructed, her spiritual awareness remained intact, and with Electrolux's help, she retained her full intelligence. Unlike in the original story, she had not regressed into a clueless little girl.
