• The Snow Empress agreed to seek the inheritance, and Ning Rongrong said an Ice God remnant soul might provide answers about the crisis.

• Poseidon wondered whether the battle had broken the seal and whether the Ice God or the entity sealed by the Ice God had killed Hypnos.

Ning Rongrong delayed Poseidon at the seal until Snow Empress emerged and the Ancient Black Phoenix destroyed the Ice God Palace, opening the Abyss passage. As Snow Empress fought the creature, Ning Rongrong and Bo Saixi arrived, and Ning Rongrong warned Snow Empress to conceal Gu Yuena and direct Poseidon’s questions toward Ice God or Goodness God King.

• Snow Empress sensed a familiar aura near the Far North Land’s edge and flew there with Ice Empress to stop humans from hunting soul beasts.
