At that moment, Xue Ling was at the Soul Guidance crafting table, repairing a damaged mecha module.

Di Tian did not rush to interrupt her. Instead, he quietly watched from the side as Xue Ling worked on the mecha repair with complete focus.

"Mm-hm~"

Only after Xue Ling finished the repairs and stretched lazily in satisfaction did she notice Di Tian standing behind her.

"Di Tian, when did you get here?"

Before Di Tian could answer, Xue Ling stopped him outright. She rose to her feet and sniffed at him.

"Eh?!"

"You seem to have the scent of battle armor and mecha steel on you. The kind that's fresh out of the forge."

She was puzzled for a moment before delight dawned on her.

"You succeeded?!"

Di Tian nodded and handed her a Soul Guidance Storage Ring.

"Not only did I succeed, but I also upgraded the Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha to five-word and true god-level."

"The Soul Guidance Mecha inside the storage ring has already reached the True God-level."

"There is only one for now. You can use it for research and improve the grade and standard of your mecha repairs."

"Let's see whether someone as clever as you can use what you learn to help soul beasts shorten their adjustment period with battle armor and mechas."

"Leave it to me!" Xue Ling patted her ample chest, confidently accepted the Soul Guidance Storage Ring, and summoned the True God-level Mecha.

"Wow~"

"Perfect lines, Soul Guidance craftsmanship that seems utterly natural."

"No, it doesn't feel like human craftsmanship. It surpasses mere technique—it's more like art born from divine inspiration!"

Hearing her astonished praise, Di Tian was quite pleased.

Although the Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha that served as the foundation had been crafted by others, he had personally brought them to the five-word and True God-level.

However, he soon heard something less pleasing.

"Mm... the color is a little lacking. The original red looked so nice. Pink would be good too, and of course, sky blue paired with silver would be even better."

Still unwilling to give up, Di Tian asked, "Is black and gold not cool enough?"

"It's ugly!" As they talked, Xue Ling gradually revealed the domineering childishness of a little girl.

"A black-and-gold mecha is way too ugly. It should be painted sky blue!"

"I already said black and gold is cooler!"

"Sky blue is right!"

"Black and gold..."

Di Tian's expression froze abruptly as he shoved the Chibi Dragon Person that had just "seized" his body back into his inner world.

Forget it. As a dignified man, he would not fuss with a child.

"Fine, fine. Sky blue looks good. Sky blue looks good."

"Next, we'll forge your Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha. Mu Ye's blueprints will be delivered after some time, and you can add your requirements to them."

Receiving Di Tian's surrender-like agreement, Xue Ling nodded as though returning victorious from battle.

"One more thing. Do you know the Xue Empress's Three Absolutes that Snow Empress once used to dominate the Far North Land?"

"Mm-hm! Of course I do!" At the mention of comparing herself to Snow Empress, Xue Ling's competitive pride rose several notches.

"Not only do I know Snow Empress's three soul skills, I know one more than she does. I named them Xue Ling's Four Absolutes!"

As she spoke, coldness condensed in her palm, and her skin grew ever fairer, as though she were a natural creation of ice and snow.

She actively used the power of ultimate ice, condensing ice into objects to demonstrate the Xue Ling's Four Absolutes she had mentioned.

Emperor's Palm: Great Snow Without Cold!

Two miniature snow people that looked remarkably like Xue Ling faced each other. Seemingly to ensure Di Tian could clearly distinguish between them, Xue Ling had specially hung nameplates above their heads, inscribed with the graceful characters for Xue Ling and Snow Empress respectively.

Because Emperor's Palm needed to strike at close range to unleash its greatest power, Snow Empress was soon blasted into fragments of snow by Xue Ling's close-range Emperor's Palm.

Emperor's Sword: Ice Pinnacle Unrivaled!

Ice and snow condensed into a massive deep-blue ice crystal sword of immense power. The demonstration ended with the Snow Empress-branded miniature snow person being cut in half at the waist by Emperor's Sword.

Emperor's Cold Sky: Snow Dance Shining Sun!

A domain-type ability that combined enhancement and powerful control, successfully freezing the Snow Empress-branded miniature snow person into an ice sculpture.

The fourth of Xue Ling's Four AbsolutesIce and Snow Elf: Whirling Dance Steps!

The Xue Ling-branded miniature snow person in the demonstration danced like the finest dancer in the world, performing an exquisite dance that seemed capable of making everything in the world bow before it.

Sky blue and emerald green complemented one another around the dancer, forming a blizzard where snow and ice, pure white and emerald green, merged together.

Ice and snow were two manifestations of absolute zero. Xue Ling was now equivalent to a fusion of the Snow Empress of old and the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor. If she could grow to her peak, she would become the culmination of both paths.

As for the Snow Empress-branded miniature snow person, Xue Ling believed she was not qualified to appear.

Once the whirling dance ended, Xue Ling's Four Absolutes demonstration was complete.

Seeing Xue Ling proudly raise her little head, Di Tian could not help curling his lips.

You have one more Absolute than Snow Empress. That really is something else!

Although Di Tian appeared somewhat speechless on the surface, setting aside Xue Ling's childish fantasies, her talent truly surpassed Snow Empress's.

If given time to grow, Xue Ling could perfectly accomplish the Yin-Yang Complement Dual Soul Cores that Snow Empress had failed to complete, as well as overcome the seven-hundred-thousand-year soul beast heavenly tribulation that Snow Empress had failed to pass.

"Not bad. Very good," Di Tian said thoughtfully, offering a suggestion.

"You can add a longsword-type Soul Guidance Device to the foundation of your Four-Word Battle Armor. It would provide a certain boost to your Emperor's Sword soul skill."

"With such talent, even if you have only just entered the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast level, once you put on Four-Word Battle Armor and a God-level Mecha, you can unleash combat power equivalent to more than five hundred thousand years of cultivation. That is comparable to the demigod level among humanity's ultimate realm. In the core region of the Far North Land, with the geographical advantage of the Far North, not even a Quasi-God could take you down."

"Afterward, when you return to the Far North Land, you will be able to keep it safe."

Hearing Di Tian's praise and the plans he had made for her, Xue Ling was initially overjoyed and excited. Yet as her happiness continued, she suddenly became a little unhappy again.

Pouting her tender lips, Xue Ling reached for her neck and untied the Black Dragon Reverse Scale Necklace hanging there.

"That's true. A reverse scale is very important to a True Dragon. It can't remain outside the body for too long."

Di Tian did not reach out to take it back. Instead, he looked at Xue Ling and said somewhat helplessly, "It's fine. If you want to keep it, then keep it. Whenever I need it, I can summon the reverse scale back through the power of space."

After breaking through to the million-year level, his control over his own reverse scale had grown another step stronger, enough to handle emergencies.

As though afraid Di Tian might change his mind, Xue Ling swiftly put the True Dragon's Reverse Scale Necklace away with the speed of a thief ringing a bell to cover his own ears.

She then took the initiative and hurried toward the door, her laughter echoing behind her.

"I'm going to tell those two humans about my forging requirements for the Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha. See you later."
