Ice Empress's Decision

Qing Mu would never bring Ice Empress up with him. Putting aside whether he could become a god, their relationship wasn't that close, especially considering he still had parents and a girlfriend.

However, if the Ice Empress is willing to become his Soul Ring, she can ascend to the Divine Realm with him while retaining her intelligence.

As for resurrection after reaching the Divine Realm, it's simply a matter of creating a new body, which isn't difficult for the gods of the Douluo World.

"What? You want me to sacrifice myself for you!"

However, upon hearing this, Ice Empress's previous chaotic thoughts vanished instantly, replaced by surprise and Rage!

Qing Mu actually wants to sacrifice herself for him? What does he take her for?

For a moment, Ice Empress's gaze towards Qing Mu turned somewhat cold.

Seeing this, Qing Mu assumed that Ice Empress was unwilling and immediately said, "If you're unwilling, that's fine. Anyway, this is just my guess, and it might not even work."

He only mentioned it briefly; Huo Yuhao's method might not be suitable for him, and he didn't even know if he could ascend to the Divine Realm.

Just as Qing Mu turned around to continue his research on the Wood World Descends, the Ice Empress's voice suddenly stopped him.

"Etc!!"

Upon hearing Ice Empress's voice, Qing Mu immediately turned around and looked at Ice Empress with a puzzled expression.

Ice Empress took a deep breath, then solemnly asked Qing Mu, "How confident are you about becoming a god?"

Although she was furious when Qing Mu first suggested she sacrifice herself, after calming down, Ice Empress realized that Qing Mu's method was quite feasible, at least much more likely than gambling that she could survive the fourth great tribulation.

"I have no idea."

Qing Mu shook his head. "I'm absolutely confident I can reach the Limit Douluo, but becoming a god depends on luck. Until I reach that stage, I can't say for sure whether I can succeed."

In fact, if one's talent reaches a certain level, the chances of becoming a god are very high. After all, there are four known Divine Position Inheritance in the Douluo Continent. If one attracts the attention of the gods in the Divine Realm, then there will only be more Divine Position that can be inherited.

But Qing Mu himself was an accident. He was genuinely unsure of how the gods of the Divine Realm would treat him, and he also wanted to try out the Experience Mechanism of Pokémon to see if it could directly push him to level 100.

Qing Mu's answer was somewhat unexpected by Ice Empress. Ice Empress had thought that Qing Mu's confident statement meant she was very certain of her answer.

"You're quite honest."

Ice Empress's lips curled up slightly. Qing Mu's words, in a sense, proved that Qing Mu did not intend to trick her into becoming his Soul Ring, or at least not simply to deceive her.

After all, if Qing Mu really thought that way, it would be better to exaggerate the success rate of becoming a god.

That's the Captivate of immortality! Even knowing the odds are slim, it still makes people want to gamble.

Throughout history, countless emperors have sought immortality. As the highest rulers of their empires, wouldn't their intelligence systems know that this was a lie, that they were being deceived?

They probably knew, but they were still deceived time and time again.

This doesn't necessarily mean they're foolish; rather, they're gambling—what if it's true?

Essentially, this behavior is the same as buying lottery tickets; both are paying for that one extremely slim, almost zero, chance.

Ice Empress: "Let me think about this."

This time, it was Qing Mu's turn to be surprised. He hadn't expected that Ice Empress would actually consider this suggestion.

You must understand, this isn't the Ice Empress dying ten thousand years later. Ten thousand years is a very long time; anything can happen.

Perhaps they've found some fortuitous opportunity, repaired their original nature, and will be able to survive the fourth great tribulation?

"Okay, I'll wait for you. You can contact me anytime before I leave."

Qing Mu nodded solemnly. Originally, Qing Mu was planning to go to the sea to find Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but if Ice Empress was willing to become his Seventh Soul Ring, it would save him a lot of trouble.

In the evening, Snow Empress returned. As soon as she arrived, she went to Qing Mu and said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, we couldn't find any information about the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm today either."

"It's alright, maybe I'm just unlucky, he might have already gone somewhere else."

Qing Mu's state of mind didn't change much, after all, she had anticipated this situation before coming.

After a moment of silence, Qing Mu spoke again, "I will be leaving in half a month!"

"So fast?"

Snow Empress was slightly taken aback, but then suddenly realized.

A month is but a fleeting moment for her, but for Qing Mu, who is human, it is a considerable amount of time.

After all, Qing Mu is only fourteen years old at the moment.

At this moment, Ice Empress walked over hesitantly and said to Snow Empress, "Sister Snow Maiden- onna, there's something I want to tell you."

Seeing Ice Empress's expression, Snow Empress's heart skipped a beat. Was Bing'er about to confess her feelings to her again?

"Let's talk outside."

To prevent any unpleasant rumors from spreading, Ice Empress -Snow Empress quickly spoke before Hyotei could speak.

With that, he pulled Ice Empress out.

A moment later, the Snow Empress led the Ice Empress to a remote, uninhabited snowfield.

Snow Empress took a deep breath and said with a hint of determination, "Bing'er, tell me, what is it?"

At this moment, Snow Empress was mentally prepared; she could withstand whatever Ice Empress said.

Ice Empress hesitated for a moment, "I want to offer myself as a sacrifice to Qing Mu..."

"What!?"

However, before Ice Empress could finish speaking, she directly pierced through Snow Empress's defenses. That was a sacrifice! What on earth did that human, Qing Mu, do to deceive her best friend in just one month?

Seeing that the Snow Empress had misunderstood, the Ice Empress quickly explained the whole story, which made the Snow Empress's expression soften.

After listening to the Ice Empress's account, the Snow Empress sighed, "Bing'er, are you really determined to choose this path? No one has ever walked this path, let alone succeeded. If Qing Mu cannot break through to become a god, you will perish with him within a thousand years at most. This is far too risky."

"There are still ten thousand years until our great calamity. Within these ten thousand years, we might be able to find some opportunities. If all else fails, I can give you my Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus. With the help of the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, your chances of surviving the Four Hundred Thousand Year Tribulation are quite high."

It's clear that the Snow Empress truly regarded the Ice Empress as a sister, even willing to give up a treasure like the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.

Although the Snow Empress has not yet suffered serious injuries from attempting to Yin-Yang Complementary Twin Soul Cores, the Seventy-Hundred-Thousand-Year Tribulation she is about to undergo is extremely dangerous, and even she is not confident that she can overcome it.

Under such circumstances, the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus was very important to her; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to so many conditions from Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus Qing Mu it.
