Time slowly passed again. Thirty-two days had passed since Zhou Huan condensed his First Soul Core, but there was still no sign of it stopping.

Snow Empress, Octagonal, and Miss Narcissus were not in a hurry; they simply observed quietly from the side of the ice cave.

These three are: one is a ruler who has lived in the icy wilderness for hundreds of thousands of years, and the other two are Plant-type Soul Beast who have lived in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well since they were born with intelligence.

What they have no shortage of is patience.

In the blink of an eye, another eight days have passed.

Suddenly, Zhou Huan's aura changed, and his dantian became like a small black hole, absorbing a large amount of heaven and earth energy.

The previous Extreme Cold Snow Dragon Pill had long been used up.

Now, even the energy of the world around the ice cave has been sucked in, and a vortex-like airflow has even been formed on Zhou Huan's body.

Upon seeing this, Snow Empress's gaze flickered slightly, but she did nothing.

Miss Narcissus whispered curiously, "Is it going to succeed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Huan suddenly opened his eyes, his dantian instantly stopped absorbing external energy, and at the same time, an extreme chill burst forth!

Even the Octagonal and Miss Narcissus couldn't help but tremble several leaves.

As for Snow Empress, oh, she's perfectly fine.

Zhou Huan stood up, stretched, and then smiled, "Success! Thank you all for your hard work protecting us during this time."

Neither Snow Empress nor Octagonal spoke, but Miss Narcissus replied, "What's the big deal? Your success proves that our choices were all correct."

Zhou Huan continued, "By the way, how long did it take me to condense my Soul Core?"

"Forty days," Snow Empress replied calmly.

"That's alright, it won't delay our return to school."

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huan asked, "Snow Empress, this is your home. Now that you're back, is there anything you need to take care of?"

The Snow Empress was, after all, the ruler of the Extreme North. Unfortunately, she was captured by the Soul Engineer and taken to Star Luo City. Several years have passed since then, and she has finally returned. She must make some arrangements for the Extreme North.

Upon hearing Zhou Huan's question, Snow Empress thought for a moment and said, "There are indeed some things that need to be done. Let's go back to where I used to live."

"Good."

Afterwards, Octagonal and Miss Narcissus returned to the Floating Pagoda, while Zhou Huan, led by Snow Empress, went to her former residence.

Half an hour later, Zhou Huan arrived in the Ice Palace.

At first glance, this Ice Palace is as tall as a five-story building, and its exterior is quite magnificent.

If you didn't know better, Zhou Huan would have thought he had traveled to Frozen.

However, Zhou Huan realized as soon as he went inside that he had been overthinking things.

The entire Ice Palace was empty; there was nothing there, not even a single flower or blade of grass.

All I can say is that Snow Empress's life used to be very... simple.

It seems that aside from cultivation and the desire to become a god, she truly had no other life or thoughts.

Your resolve is unwavering!

Standing to the side, Snow Empress seemed to have seen through Zhou Huan's thoughts, and thus said in a somewhat cold tone, "What? You have a problem with my family?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan quickly shook his head. "How could that be? This ice sculpture is simply full of artistry! Snow Empress, you are definitely a person of refined taste."

Snow Empress was speechless; she had grown accustomed to Zhou Huan's duplicity.

Afterwards, the two arrived at the rooftop of the Ice Palace.

The Snow Empress raised her hand and slapped it upwards, and countless snowflakes began to condense. In just a few seconds, they formed the "Heavenly Snow Woman" in the shape of the Snow Empress high in the sky!

This "Heavenly Snow Woman" is a full 100 meters tall, it's practically the Snow Empress multiplied by 100!

Furthermore, the Heavenly Snow Woman high in the sky exuded a powerful Snow Empress aura, radiating light!

At this moment, it seemed as if all the light in the Extreme North had fallen upon this goddess-like Heavenly Snow Woman!

However, this scene only lasted for ten seconds.

Without asking, Zhou Huan knew that the Snow Empress was summoning Soul Beast from the Extreme North.

Based on Zhou Huan's understanding of the original work, shouldn't the Snow Empress summoning Soul Beast be accompanied by a solo dance by the Heavenly Snow Woman?

It just bursts out its aura and glows for a moment, isn't it?

Is it because he's not good enough for me?

Zhou Huan was a little disappointed; she had originally wanted to see the legendary Snow Empress's solo dance!

However, before Zhou Huan could even sway back and forth, the ground began to shake.

Immediately, Zhou Huan sensed a large number of Soul Beast surging in from all directions, and almost all of them were powerful Soul Beast over 30,000 years old.

After thinking about it, Zhou Huan understood that weak Soul Beast were probably not qualified to come here.

About twenty minutes later, while many other Soul Beast were still on the outskirts and dared not approach the Ice Palace, an Ice Bear King that was a full fifteen meters tall even when walking on all fours ran excitedly to the front of the Snow Empress Ice Palace and nuzzled the Snow Empress's hand with its big head like a child trying to please its mother.

This must be the Ice Bear King, Zhou Huan thought to himself.

Sure enough, the Snow Empress spoke the next moment, her tone unusually gentle. "Xiao Bai, it's been a long time."

The Ice Bear King nuzzled Snow Empress's hand with its fluffy head again. "Snow Empress, Xiao Bai hasn't seen you for years."

In fact, the Ice Bear King always regarded the Snow Empress as his mother, and he was indeed raised by her.

Later, however, the Ice Bear King became the patriarch of the Ice Bear Clan, and his cultivation level reached that of Ferocious Beast. The Snow Empress then forbade him from calling her "mother," saying it was inappropriate for his cultivation and status.

Although the Ice Bear King was reluctant, he never opposed any of the Snow Empress's wishes.

Then, Snow Empress looked at the nearly 120-meter-tall Titan Snow Demon in the horde of Ferocious Beast and said, "A-Tai, come here."

This Soul Beast is none other than the Titan Snow Demon King!

Upon hearing the Snow Empress's summons, the Titan Snow Demon King immediately stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said, "Snow Empress!"

The Snow Empress nodded slightly and said, "I hope that from today onwards, you will become the leader of the Extreme North. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the Titan Snow Demon King was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly agreed, "As the Snow Empress commands!"

You have to understand, he and the Ice Bear King are rivals, and the relationship between the Ice Bear King and the Snow Empress is something he can't compare to.

Many years ago, he dared to confess his love to Snow Empress without any sense of propriety. As you can imagine, he was beaten to a pulp and suffered a comminuted fracture, which was the least of his worries.

Now, the Snow Empress is handing over the Extreme North to him, the Titan Snow Demon King, to rule—he truly hadn't expected it.

Immediately afterwards, the Snow Empress announced, "From this day forward, the Extreme North will be ruled by the Titan Snow Demon King! I will devote myself entirely to cultivation!"

"By order of the Snow Empress!" Countless Soul Beast roared in unison!

"Everyone, disperse." Snow Empress was never a talkative person, and she handled things decisively and efficiently, never dragging things out.

Now that she has decided to become the future Lord of the Far North, and the other party has agreed, there is no need to waste any more words.

So, at the Snow Empress's command, the Soul Beast within a hundred miles of the Ice Palace began to scatter and retreat, and even the Titan Snow Demon King left with excitement.

Soon, only Ice Bear King Xiaobai remained at the scene.

At this moment, the Snow Empress's gaze softened slightly as she looked at the Ice Bear King: "Don't you understand why I made the Titan Snow Demon King the Lord of the Far North?"

The Ice Bear King nodded his large head earnestly. "Yes."

However, he immediately followed up with, "But Xiao Bai will always support any decision Snow Empress makes."

Hearing this, the Snow Empress smiled helplessly, "You've lived for over two hundred thousand years, how come you still act like a little Ice Bear cub?"

Then, Snow Empress said seriously, "In the past few years, I have truly witnessed the human world; if the Soul Beast continue like this, they have no future. Even if someone as powerful as Di Tian, as powerful as Evil Emperor, or even myself, what can they do? Douluo Continent is ultimately a human world."

"We can never become the masters of Douluo, because Soul Beast have no gods!"

When she said the last sentence, Snow Empress's tone was a mixture of anger, helplessness, and disappointment.

Although the Ice Bear King didn't understand these things very well, he still asked, "Then what do we do?"

Snow Empress glanced at Zhou Huan and said, "We have no choice but to take a gamble. If we succeed, we'll have a future; if we fail, we'll simply vanish into thin air. Xiao Bai, your next Heavenly Tribulation isn't far off. From now on, you'll follow me."

Upon hearing this, the Ice Bear King's eyes immediately filled with joy. "Good, good, Xiao Bai also wants to stay with the Snow Empress."

At this moment, Snow Empress looked at Zhou Huan again, but did not speak.

Zhou Huan was helpless. It wasn't that he didn't welcome the Ice Bear King joining the God-Making Group; on the contrary, he very much hoped for the Ice Bear King's arrival, because with the Ice Bear King there would be a place for his Eighth Soul Ring.

To his dismay, Snow Empress's stubbornly arrogant personality was truly something he couldn't put into words.

Therefore, Zhou Huan gave a wry smile, "Snow Empress, this is clearly something that benefits me in every way, so don't make it seem like I'm unhappy about it."

Then, Zhou Huan looked at the Ice Bear King and said, "Brother Bear, welcome to the team."

Only then did the Ice Bear King notice the tiny human. "Huh? Who are you?"

Zhou Huan: "..."

"I might be your grandpa, "Zhou Huan muttered to himself.
