Soul Beasts Cannot Become Gods

"Snow Empress, you might have misunderstood."

"I came to this Far North not just to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings, otherwise I wouldn't have waited for you to appear."

"Just kill Ice Empress to get the Soul Ring."

"Isn't that right?"

Snow Empress frowned slightly and said coldly:

"Then what brings you here?"

Tang Feng smiled slightly.

"You might not believe it, but I've actually come to deliver eternal life to you."

"To become a god is to speak in a language you can understand!"

"Huh?" Snow Empress looked at the boy in front of her and felt that there was something wrong with his head.

"You?"

"That's right, aren't these three red Soul Rings and this black Soul Ring enough for me?" Tang Feng showed off his Soul Rings.

"Which god do you think had my Soul Ring Configuration and strength before becoming a god?"

"A four-ring Soul Master, easily subduing the Ice Empress with over 300,000 years of cultivation—isn't that enough to prove my talent?"

As he spoke, Tang Feng shook the Ice Empress in his hand.

Ice Empress felt insulted as Tang Feng shook them like that, as if they were being carried around like little dogs.

"Ha!"

Ice Empress bared its teeth angrily at Tang Feng, letting out a low growl and exhaling cold mist.

Snow Empress remained silent, gazing at the four Soul Rings on Tang Feng's body, lost in thought.

These three red and one black Soul Rings are truly unprecedented, and probably will never be seen again.

If even he can't become a god, then probably no other Soul Master in the world can.

With Bing'er's talent, 400,000 years of cultivation is the limit, Xiao Bai's is even less, with a limit of only 300,000 years of cultivation.

Nearly ten thousand years later, they will have to undergo tribulation, but the chances of success are extremely slim.

Without my help, Bing'er has less than a 50% chance, while Xiao Bai is a bit better off, with a 30% chance. With my help, Xiao Bai might be able to successfully overcome her tribulation, but what about Bing'er?

She genuinely wasn't absolutely certain.

In other words, ten thousand years from now, I might lose another friend...

After a moment, the Snow Empress asked:

So you want us to Sacrifice for you?

"It could be considered Sacrifice, but Sacrifice's very different. I have some special abilities that allow me to try to keep you conscious while you become Soul Rings."

"These four Soul Rings of yours don't seem to possess any intelligence to me," said the Snow Empress.

"That's because I didn't have that ability back then. After all, no one is born omnipotent and can't achieve everything overnight."

Snow Empress nodded.

"What you say makes a lot of sense, and you do indeed have the potential to become a god. You are the most promising Soul Master I have ever seen, but..."

"Seeing is believing. Could you demonstrate the abilities you just mentioned?"

"Of course, who should we use to demonstrate? Ice Empress?" Tang Feng asked, holding up the Ice Empress.

"How dare you!" Ice Empress glared fiercely at Tang Feng, her voice trembling with tears as she addressed Snow Empress:

"Snow Woman, save me!"

Snow Empress could tell that Tang Feng meant no harm and didn't necessarily want to kill Ice Empress, but it was still best to be cautious.

"Does the Soul Beast used to demonstrate abilities have to be at the 100,000-year level?"

"A hundred years old is fine, after all, I'm not very familiar with it since it's my first time using it."

Huh? Snow Empress was stunned. You dare to use this in negotiations on your first try?

Are you that confident?

"Xiao Bai, go and summon any Hundred-Year Soul Beast."

"Okay Snow Empress."

Xiao Bai agreed and roared at the group of Soul Beasts in the distance.

A short while later, a White Wolf with a cultivation level of approximately ten thousand years arrived below the group, carrying a dying, hundred-year-old Gray Wolf in its mouth.

After releasing the Gray Wolf, the White Wolf dashed off towards the Soul Beasts.

Tang Feng fell from the sky, and Xue Nu jumped down from Xiao Bai's head.

Tang Feng released Ice Empress from his grasp and said:

"Don't run around, or I'll kill you!"

Just because you tell me not to run doesn't mean I won't run!

Just kidding~

How could Ice Empress possibly listen to Tang Feng? Using all her strength, she sprinted at an unprecedented speed on all eight of her legs and hid behind Snow Empress.

It poked its head out and extended a pincer, pointing at Tang Feng.

"Hurry!"

"Snow Woman, kill him quickly!"

The Snow Woman reached out and touched Ice Empress's pincers, comforting him:

"Don't rush, let him demonstrate the method that can store the consciousness of Soul Beasts first."

"You..." Ice Empress looked up at Snow Empress, surprised.

"Snow Woman, you actually believed his nonsense?"

Snow Empress did not answer Ice Empress's question, but looked intently at Tang Feng.

See how he manages to turn Soul Beast into Soul Ring while still preserving its consciousness.

Under Snow Empress's gaze, Tang Feng reached out and placed his hand on the Gray Wolf's forehead. The Gray Wolf, which had been growling, instantly fell silent. As Tang Feng lifted his hand from the Gray Wolf's forehead, a clump of yellow, transparent substance was also pulled out by Tang Feng.

The yellow, transparent substance kept changing and eventually turned into a Hundred-Year Soul Ring.

Tang Feng reached out and tapped the surface of the Soul Ring, and Gray Wolf made of energy leaped out of it.

It looked exactly like the Gray Wolf on the ground before it was injured.

"Is this the soul of this Gray Wolf?" Snow Empress asked in confusion.

"That's right. This is the soul of this Gray Wolf, and also its Spiritual Origin," Tang Feng said.

"The essence of Soul Ring is simply the soul of Soul Beast. If Soul Beast is killed through normal means, Soul Beast soul will transform into Soul Ring due to the laws of heaven and earth, allowing the Soul Master to absorb it."

"But if the soul of Soul Beast is extracted before it dies, then the Soul Beast's soul will not only possess the functions of Soul Ring, but also its memories and instincts from its previous life."

As if to verify Tang Feng's statement, the Gray Wolf remained crouched and growling after it appeared, watching them warily.

"So, if we want to become your Soul Rings, we need you to extract your soul?" Snow Empress asked.

"Not necessarily. You can directly let your Spiritual Origin, that is, your soul, leave your body and enter my Sea of Consciousness. That would be simpler. With the protection of my Sea of Consciousness, you will all be safe."

"Snow Empress, you should think this over carefully. You must know that Soul Beasts cannot become gods; this is a rule established by the Dragon God before his death. Even if they transform into human form, they can only live for a few hundred more years at most, and in the end, they will still turn into dust."

"Without becoming a god, everything is meaningless," Tang Feng said earnestly to Snow Empress.

"Unless a human Soul Master cultivates to godhood and leads you to the Divine Realm."

Snow Empress fell silent once again.

She certainly knew who the Dragon God was; the legendary ruler of all Soul Beasts, said to be the earliest Soul Beast to be born, a god with a special divine position in the Divine Realm.

But then the Dragon God somehow perished... and the rules of heaven and earth no longer allowed Soul Beasts to become gods!

If what Tang Feng said is true, then the Dragon God truly deserves to die!

If you're going to die, then so be it. Why did you have to set a rule that Soul Beasts can't become gods?

Seeing that the Snow Empress remained silent, seemingly anticipating Tang Feng's words, the Ice Empress asked in a low voice:

"Snow Woman, is it really impossible for Soul Beasts to become gods?"

The Snow Empress glanced down at the Ice Empress and shook her head slightly.
