Destruction Descends to the Mortal World, Loves Drinking Beast Milk

Ice Empress puffed out her pretty cheeks in dissatisfaction.

The Snow Empress she had pursued for countless millennia had been stolen away by a child?

Just then,

A ray of purple light emerged from Zi Yao's swaddling clothes, transforming into the phantom of the Destruction God King. A cloak concealed his figure, revealing only a pair of purple eyes.

This was a trace of divine consciousness he had placed before Zi Yao descended to the mortal world.

The God Realm Committee had unanimously approved this matter.

After all, Destructive Life and the God of Destruction were practically the God Realm's model workers. Since they had been forcibly sent down to the mortal world this time, the God Realm ought to offer them some compensation and preferential treatment.

Destruction swept his gaze over the Snow Empress and Ice Empress before saying coldly,

"I wish to make a deal with you. You are both about to face the Heavenly Tribulation that comes once every hundred thousand years. I can help you avoid this calamity."

The Snow Empress and Ice Empress looked at each other.

The Heavenly Tribulations they faced were the Four Hundred Thousand Years and Seven Hundred Thousand Years tribulations, respectively.

Even for powerful Beasts, such tribulations meant near-certain death.

"Please continue, sir."

The Snow Empress pressed.

The Seven Hundred Thousand Years tribulation had long become an inescapable nightmare for her. If she faced it head-on, death would be her only outcome.

The God of Destruction pointed at Zi Yao.

"This is my child, Zi Yao. Serve him and care for him. As long as you ensure that he grows up healthy, I can help you avert one Heavenly Tribulation."

The Snow Empress looked at Zi Yao in her arms in surprise.

She had long suspected that Zi Yao, like herself, was a creation of heaven and earth.

She had never expected his identity to be even more extraordinary than she had imagined. His parents were likely the legendary Deities, and their Deity Positions were surely not low.

"I am willing to care for him."

The Snow Empress said without hesitation.

Even if the God of Destruction had not appeared, she had planned to raise Zi Yao herself.

"I'm willing too! I'm willing too!"

Ice Empress eagerly chimed in as well.

Caring for a human child—how difficult could that be?

A few decades in exchange for a chance to avoid a Heavenly Tribulation—this deal was far too profitable!

Zi Yao sighed from within his swaddling clothes. Having connections really was nice.

Even after being sent down to the mortal world, Dad could still arrange people to take care of me.

The God of Destruction gave a faint sigh, then took one final, deep look at Zi Yao. That trace of a God King's divine consciousness returned to the God Realm.

Tang San watched in secret from the God Realm.

He glanced at the innocent and naïve Tang Wutong beside him, lost in thought.

"I never expected this little guy to be a Deity's child."

Ice Empress stood with her hands on her hips and exclaimed. Pretending to be casual, she patted the Snow Empress on the shoulder and said,

"Xue'er, it seems we'll be raising this child together from now on. I'll move my things over later. The three of us should live well together—that's better than anything."

"No need. I can take care of him by myself."

The Snow Empress teased Zi Yao without even turning around. A gentle, maternal smile appeared on her cold yet peerlessly beautiful face.

Ice Empress nearly drooled at the sight. Wiping her mouth, she said,

"How could that do? I can't take advantage of you. We agreed to care for him together."

The Snow Empress frowned.

After thinking it over, she felt that made sense and tacitly agreed.

Ice Empress nearly burst into tears.

After all these millennia, she could finally live with the Snow Empress.

This really was all thanks to that child!

She could not help developing quite a favorable impression of Zi Yao.

After all, this child had not only fulfilled her long-held wish but also helped her solve the great threat of the Heavenly Tribulation. He truly was her lucky star.

Grrr~

The Snow Empress looked at Zi Yao's shrunken, hungry belly with concern and pressed a finger lightly against his little stomach.

"Are you hungry? It seems that even a Deity's child has to eat and drink like an ordinary person in the mortal world."

"Babies seem to... drink milk, right...?"

At that,

The Snow Empress raised her head and looked at Ice Empress.

Ice Empress grew a little embarrassed and pointed at her flat chest. "Scorpions aren't mammals. It's perfectly normal for me to be flatter."

"That's true."

The Snow Empress sighed softly and bit her lower lip. A blush spread across her cold, lovely face, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Ice Empress immediately perked up and earnestly advised, "It seems you're the only one here who can feed him. Could you really bear to watch such a tiny baby go hungry?"

"Waaah!"

Seeing the expectant looks in Ice Empress and Zi Yao's eyes,

The softhearted Snow Empress nearly gave in.

Her hand was already on the collar of her icy dress, but on second thought, she seemed to realize something was wrong.

The Heavenly Snow Woman race was created by heaven and earth.

Though their figures were indeed slender and graceful, how could they possibly lactate?

"Take it off! Why did you stop taking it off?!"

Ice Empress was so restless with anticipation that she accidentally blurted out what was on her mind. Realizing something was wrong, she immediately covered her mouth.

The Snow Empress revealed a "kind" smile. With a wave of her delicate hand, she sent Ice Empress flying tens of thousands of miles away.

"Find a suitable wet nurse. Otherwise, don't even think about coming back."

"Favoritism! Such blatant favoritism!"

"I've known you for hundreds of thousands of years, and you actually hit me for a man!"

Ice Empress lay sprawled on the ice with her legs apart, throwing a tantrum and shouting in dissatisfaction.

However,

The sky above her suddenly changed. Amid the faintly visible Blizzard, a beautiful female figure took shape, startling her into a jolt. She hurriedly got up and began handling business.

As one of the Far North's three great Heavenly Kings, she unleashed all her pressure, rendering the surrounding ice-attributed Soul Beasts unable to move. The Ice Scorpion tribe gathered as well.

"Capture one lactating member from every nearby species! Make sure they're currently nursing!"

She sat atop a snowy mountain with her legs crossed, her small white feet swinging back and forth. Her commanding tone made her seem like a majestic, inviolable empress.

Before long,

At least a hundred types of ice-attributed Soul Beasts were trembling as dozens of intimidating Ice Scorpions escorted them over in a grand procession.

Good grief, so much beast milk. Are they trying to feed me into the Desolate Heavenly Emperor?

Zi Yao thought.

Even though he only took a sip from each Soul Beast, he still could not sample them all. After letting out a tiny milk burp, he happily fell asleep in the Snow Empress's arms.

The Snow Empress wore an auntie-like smile overflowing with motherly love and gently wiped the milk stains from the corner of his mouth.

Ice Empress was soothed by the sight as well, and the softest part of her heart was touched.

Compared to the little scorpions in her tribe, the exquisitely adorable Zi Yao was undoubtedly far more suited to her tastes.

Ever since meeting the Snow Empress, she had naturally lost all interest in forming a pair with other Soul Beasts. Otherwise, at her age, she should have had descendants long ago.

She eagerly spread her arms and rose onto her toes. "Xue'er, let me hold him too."

"No."

The Snow Empress refused without hesitation.

"Why? I was the one who found all those wet nurses!"

Ice Empress protested.

The Snow Empress lifted her eyes and said with slight disdain, "Xiao Yao is asleep. You're so clumsy—you'll definitely wake him."

She glanced at Ice Empress's flat chest and added with a teasing smile, "Besides, Xiao Yao isn't old enough to sleep on a flat board. It's bad for his sleep quality."

Ice Empress wanted to argue indignantly.

But the sight of her body all the way down to her toes was the strongest evidence.

She ground her little tiger teeth, but she did not dare lose her temper with the Snow Empress. She could only roar at the Soul Beasts that had finished nursing,

"Get lost after you're done! Are you waiting for a meal?!"

The Soul Beasts fled in terror.

Compared to the true Lord of the Extreme North, the Snow Empress, Ice Empress had killed far more Soul Beasts. She could be called a god of slaughter.

From that day onward,

A legend spread through the Extreme North.

Every race had to send one nursing Soul Beast as tribute into the depths of the Extreme North. Fortunately, those nursing beasts always returned safely.

The Soul Master World speculated endlessly about this, ultimately concluding that the Extreme North had a Fourth Heavenly King whose defining trait was an extreme love for drinking beast milk.
