• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told Ice Empress that he had merged his origin into Lin Yao and proposed using their powers to forge a divine foundation for him.
• Ice Empress examined Lin Yao's exceptional physical, Soul Power, and spiritual abilities but warned that talent alone might not overcome the conditions blocking godhood.

• Ice Empress's skepticism faded as she felt Lin Yao's Spear Intent and began to anticipate what he might achieve.

Lin Yao gained the Ice Empress’s approval and began fusing with her power, enduring the formation of a soul bone and absorbing her four-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. The fusion succeeded, leaving him with the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor’s power harmonized with Tian Meng’s, while his Soul Power foundation grew stronger without raising his rank.

• The Ice Empress accepted Lin Yao’s proposal to fuse with him, and Tian Meng asked her to reveal her spiritual origin before releasing her from his restraints.
