First Arrival in the God Realm, Love Forged on the Ice Plains

With the Douluo Continent unified and the Federation on the right track, worldly affairs were temporarily put aside. Yu Yuanchen's yearning for a higher realm and the mysteries of the Divine Realm could no longer be suppressed.

He knew that although the Primordial Star Divine Spark had already taken shape, to truly perfect it and reach a level comparable to the old God King such as Destruction and Life, he needed a massive amount of Power of Faith and the high-level energy and law environment unique to the Divine Realm.

On this day, he once again entrusted the affairs of the Federation and the sect to his father, grandfather, and his two old friends, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen. After a brief reunion with his wife and children, he quietly left Purple Blazing Dragon City.

He did not go through the Hell Gate, but relied on his profound understanding of the Space Law and the resonance with the Divine Realm through the connection mark left by the God of Destruction, circulating his Divine Essence and slowly moving his hands in the void.

Buzz--!

A dazzling, seven-colored portal, seemingly composed of pure runes of law, slowly opened before him! Behind the portal lay no longer a familiar dimensional landscape, but a wondrous world brimming with light, endless mysteries, and boundless energy— the Divine Realm!

Yu Yuanchen took a deep breath and stepped into the portal of light.

In an instant, the world transformed!

A dense, almost liquefied Immortal Spiritual Qi swept over us, containing an energy level far exceeding that of any other plane in the lower realms. It was pure and gentle, nourishing our Divine Soul and Divine Body.

Looking out, the sky is not azure, but rather a dreamlike, glassy color, with countless stars like diamonds set in the celestial canopy, motionless and radiating eternal brilliance.

In the distance, divine palaces floated above the sea of clouds, appearing and disappearing, shimmering with light and displaying a myriad of magnificent sights. Long rivers surged forth, but they were not ordinary water; they were formed from liquid Immortal Spiritual Qi. Divine Tree reached for the sky, their branches and leaves flowing with the radiance of laws.

The entire Divine Realm is permeated with an aura of grandeur, order, and eternity. It is the embodiment of rules, an ocean of energy, and the abode of the gods.

"Welcome to the Divine Realm, Lord Yuanchen!"

Two Divine Official, clad in standard Divine Armor and exuding an aura that clearly reached the level of Third-Class Deity, were already respectfully waiting outside the gate of light. They had obviously received a decree from the God of Destruction and were here to greet him.

Yu Yuanchen nodded slightly, his aura restrained, but the magnificent Divine Might unique to a newly born God King, carrying the Artistic Conception creation and evolution, still made the two Divine Official feel awe and their attitude became even more respectful.

"Thank you for leading the way, both of you," Yu Yuanchen said calmly.

"My lord, please follow me. The God King are waiting for you at the God Realm Committee." A Divine Official bowed and said, then led Yu Yuanchen in Daoliu towards the most magnificent complex of buildings in the center of the Divine Realm, which exuded supreme authority.

During the flight, Yu Yuanchen slightly extended his Divine Sense, sensing the laws and patterns of the Divine Realm. The stability of the laws and the vastness of the energy in this realm were far beyond what could be compared to the lower realms.

In particular, the omnipresent Power of Faith, which originates from the prayers of countless beings across countless planes, is formless and intangible, yet it is as abundant as air and is the fundamental resource for gods to maintain their status and enhance their strength.

A moment later, a colossal palace, towering majestically, cast entirely from an unknown Divine Metal, its surface inscribed with countless profound runes, and radiating an unparalleled majesty that suppressed all heavens and myriad realms, appeared before them. Above the palace gate hung an ancient plaque bearing five powerful characters. "God Realm Committee!"

This is the highest authority that rules and governs the entire Divine Realm!

Stepping into the main hall, the interior space is vast and boundless, as if it were a world unto itself. At the far end of the hall, five Divine Throne, each exuding a different supreme Artistic Conception, float in the air.

On the left, the first seat, Divine Throne, is as black as ink, seemingly capable of devouring all light, exuding a terrifying Artistic Conception of ending all things and returning to Nirvana —this is none other than the God of Destruction King!

He sat upright, his face shrouded in a mist of Destruction, only his eyes, which seemed to contain the end of the universe, looked at Yu Yuanchen with undisguised admiration and expectation.

Beside the God of Destruction King, the Divine Throne was lush and Life Force, seemingly containing the origin and mystery of all Life in the universe; it was none other than the Life God King.

She possessed a gentle and serene demeanor, and her gaze toward Yu Yuanchen was filled with kindness. This was not only due to her husband, but also because Yu Yuanchen's wife, Ye Zhilan, was the inheritor of her divine power (the Plant God), so they had some connection.

The two Divine Throne in the center are distinct: one is holy and radiant, exuding the true meaning of good—protection, order, and mercy; the other is dark and profound, flowing with the evil essence of judgment, law, and balance.

These were indeed the Godess of Kindness and the God of Evil! The appearances of the two God King were shrouded in divine light, making them difficult to discern clearly. Their auras were profound, giving one a sense of impartiality and the majesty of someone holding the scales of justice. They nodded slightly to Yu Yuanchen as a greeting, their attitude peaceful.

The rightmost Divine Throne is a dark red, exuding a murderous aura, yet also carrying a righteous spirit of judging evil and upholding the rules; it belongs to the Asura God King.

He stood tall and straight, his face cold and stern, his gaze sharp as a knife, and when he swept his gaze over Yu Yuanchen, it carried a hint of inquiry.

Yu Yuanchen's preconceived wariness, stemming from numerous conspiracy theories from his past life, quietly rose within him, but he remained outwardly calm, merely glancing back at the Asura God King's eyes were as still as a deep well, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

The Five Great God Kings have gathered! Such a grand display shows great respect for Yu Yuanchen, the future God King, and also demonstrates the importance the Divine Realm attaches to the birth of a new God King.

"Yu Yuanchen greets all the God King." Yu Yuanchen was neither humble nor arrogant, bowing with his hands clasped in greeting. His manners were impeccable, yet he possessed an undeniable air of authority.

"No need for formalities," the God of Destruction King spoke first, his voice booming, tinged with a hint of amusement. "Your ability to forge a new path in the lower realm and solidify your God King Rank is truly an unprecedented event in the Divine Realm. This is a blessing for the Divine Realm!"

The Life God King also said gently, "Young Friend Yuanchen, there's no need to be so formal. Your Dao, ' Yuanchen,' contains the meaning of creation and leadership, which aligns well with the Divine Realm's pursuit of development and maintenance of order. In the future, you will surely become a pillar of the Divine Realm."

The interface of the Godess of Kindness, with a calm yet authoritative voice. "According to the rules of the Divine Realm, newly created God Position can receive support from the Divine Realm's faith channels to help them solidify their status."

"Yu Yuanchen, the God Realm Committee has granted you special permission to draw upon 30% of the faith Power of Faith from the 108 planes under your jurisdiction for a hundred years (a hundred years in the lower realms) to solidify your divine foundation."

The God of Evil added, his voice carrying a chilling sense of law. "However, drawing faith requires adherence to the laws of the Divine Realm. One must not drain the pond to catch all the fish, nor forcibly enslave the will of living beings. I hope you will act accordingly."

Yu Yuanchen's heart stirred. Thirty percent of the faith in the 108 planes for a hundred years! This was an immense gesture! Although it was undoubtedly a timely help in perfecting his God King Rank, shortening his accumulation time by nearly 80%, he bowed again. "Yuanchen thanks all Your Excellencies for your generous gift. I will certainly abide by the divine rules and make good use of this power."

At this moment, the Asura God King spoke indifferently, his voice like the clang of metal. "With greater power comes greater responsibility. I hope you will remember your divine duty and not fail this position." His words were brief, yet they carried an invisible pressure.

Yu Yuanchen's expression remained unchanged. "I will remember Asura Majesty Shura's teachings."

The meeting was not very formal; it mainly consisted of the five great god-kings formally recognizing Yu Yuanchen and announcing their support with resources.

On the surface, everything seemed harmonious, but beneath the surface, undercurrents were surging. The two god-kings, one of good and one of evil, were actually somewhat wary of Yu Yuanchen's appearance, because Yu Yuanchen naturally belonged to the lineage of the god-kings of life and destruction.

Among the Five Great God Kings, the Cultivation Level and status of the two God King of Goodness and evil are actually slightly higher than the other three (Cultivation Level and combat power are not the same thing, and it is seriously suspected that the so-called strongest combat power of the Asura God is not something that can be used at will. Under normal circumstances, it should be about the same as the other four God King, otherwise in a world where strength is respected, Asura would be the boss).

Under normal circumstances, the five God King jointly govern the Divine Realm. If one of the God King makes a decision, as long as it's not too outrageous, the other four God King will give him face and not object.

However, there are always times when opinions differ. The God of Destruction King is clearly Radical Faction, while Goodness and Evil are Conservative Faction. Under normal circumstances, the Life God King would also support her husband. In a two-on-two situation, the role of the Asura God King becomes more prominent.

However, Goodness and Evil had already befriended the Asura God King Asura God King, who was actually somewhat conservative. Therefore, in most cases, Goodness and Evil would support them. Furthermore, because Goodness and Evil had a numerical advantage in Goodness Conservative Faction God King, their influence was slightly greater than the other three.

However, Yu Yuanchen's appearance will undoubtedly bring some changes. When Yu Yuanchen truly becomes God King in the future, it may become a three-to-three contest. At that time, the positions of Goodness and evil will undoubtedly be shaken.

However, they kept this matter to themselves. Although these two God King were somewhat power-hungry, they were still very fond of the Divine Realm and were happy that the Divine Realm would soon have another God King. They would not obstruct the Power of Faith needed by Yu Yuanchen.

As for the Asura God King, he actually had some plans regarding Yu Yuanchen's appearance, but he was so cunning that no one could see what he was thinking.

Yu Yuanchen had also vaguely sensed something. However, these God King were all ancient monsters who had lived for countless years and were deep in thought. Naturally, they would not reveal anything at this moment, and he could only guess based on the original plot.

However, since no one was making things difficult for him, Yu Yuanchen was happy to have some peace and quiet. After receiving the permission to communicate with the God Realm Sea of Faith, he politely declined the suggestion of being led on a tour of the Divine Realm by Divine Official and took his leave.

He had achieved his main purpose in coming to the Divine Realm, so there was no need for him to stay any longer. One day in the Divine Realm was equivalent to one year on Earth, and he was preoccupied with matters concerning the Douluo Continent.

Returning to the Douluo Plane through the spatial gate, Yu Yuanchen discovered that half a day in the Divine Realm was equivalent to nearly half a year on the mainland.

He scanned the Purple Blazing Dragon City with his Divine Sense and found that everything at home was fine and the Federation was functioning normally. However, when he sensed his son, Yu Yunting, his brows furrowed slightly.

In the Extreme North Core Douluo Continent, on the icy plains, the atmosphere was chaotic, as if a great battle had just taken place. Yu Yunting, the son, had a somewhat weak aura, while Xue Di (Xue'er), the Snow Empress, had a violently fluctuating aura, carrying complex and indescribable emotions.

"It seems a lot has happened in the six months I was away." Yu Yuanchen's figure flashed, and he appeared silently in the sky above the Extreme North, concealing his presence and observing quietly.

Let's rewind to a few months ago.

Not long after Yu Yuanchen went to the Divine Realm, under the subtle influence and nourishment of the Primordial Star Divine Power from Yu Yuanchen, Xue'er (the Snow Empress)'s memories began to slowly recover. She no longer only recalled fragments of memories of the icy world, but gradually remembered her identity—the ruler of the Extreme North, the Heavenly Snow Woman and Snow Maiden ranked third among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, the Snow Empress!

Hundreds of thousands of years of cold memories surged in like a tide. Although it was guided by Yu Yuanchen rather than an instantaneous impact, the vast, lonely, and emperor-like state of mind that held the power of ice and snow still clashed violently with her simple emotions as "Xue'er" over the past few years.

She thought of the people of the Far North, her responsibility to protect the Far North, and her pride as a spirit of heaven and earth... while on the other side, she felt Yu Yunting's burning and sincere emotions.

Two completely different identities and emotions were fiercely battling within her. She couldn't face this sudden "human-beast love," and she didn't know how to face Yu Yunting.

In a state of extreme confusion and struggle, she chose to escape, leaving Purple Blazing Dragon City under the cover of night and returning to the Extreme North.

When Yu Yunting discovered that Xue'er was missing, he was extremely anxious. With some suspicion in his mind, he chased after her all the way to the Extreme North Core.

However, what awaited him was not the sweet words of his beloved, but the cold hostility of the three Ferocious Beast: Ice Empress, Titan Snow Demon King, and Ice Bear King.

"Human! Leave the Far North! How dare you covet Xue'er!" The Xue'er Ice Empress transformed into human form, her green hair swaying, her eyes gleaming with cold light, but with a hint of jealousy.

The Titan Snow Demon King stood like a mountain blocking their path, while the Ice Bear King let out a deep roar.

Yu Yunting suppressed his anxiety and tried to explain, "Xue'er and I are truly sincere. Please, everyone, be accommodating and let me see her!"

"Insolence! Do you think you can just see His Majesty as you please?" the Titan Snow Demon King roared, his icy aura sweeping across the land. "If you don't leave now, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Communication failed, and the provocation escalated. Although the three Ferocious Beast were mindful of Yu Yunting's identity (son of Yu Yuanchen) and dared not kill him, they still showed no mercy in their attacks, intending to drive him away.

Seeing that reasoning wouldn't work, Yu Yunting's anger rose. He respected Snow Empress and was willing to respect her "family," but that didn't mean he would let anyone bully him or abandon his love. Besides, he had also realized that reasoning didn't work with Soul Beast; fists had to do the talking.

"Since that's the case, let's see who's the best!" Yu Yunting roared, and the immense Soul Power of a level 95 Super Douluo erupted! He directly used his strongest trump card, summoning his contracted partner—the 100,000-year-old Break Evil Dragon!

"Roar!" A sacred and majestic Dragon Roar roar reverberated across the icy plains. The massive Dragon Body the Break Evil Dragon appeared, instantly transforming into a dragon soul that merged with Yu Yunting, providing him with powerful enhancements and a supply of Soul Power.

The surging righteous energy of heaven and earth intertwined with the domineering thunder, Yu Yunting's body swelled up, transforming into a hundred-meter-long, purple-gold Thunder Sacred Dragon, Entanglement holy flames and Destruction lightning! The Sacred Dragon True Form!

A great battle erupted instantly!

Yu Yunting faced three opponents alone without flinching! The Thunder Sacred Dragon Claw tore through the void, its tail swept across the battlefield, Purple-Gold dragon breath it spewed contained the ultimate power of Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder and Destruction, which had a strong restraining effect on the ice attribute of Ferocious Beast other than the Ice Empress who possessed the ultimate ice attribute!

The Ice Empress's Ice Empress Pincer, the Titan Snow Demon King's Titan Ice Fist, and the Ice Bear King's Ice Meteor —these three Ferocious Beast joined forces, their power overwhelming. Taking advantage of the Far North, they were even more ferocious!

In an instant, on the icy plains, the roars of Dragon Roar and the howls of beasts echoed, lightning clashed violently with ice and snow, space twisted, and the earth Rupture! The aftershocks of the battle swept across thousands of miles, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Although Yu Yunting was strong, the Ferocious Beast were no pushovers either (the Ice Empress was nearly 400,000 years old, the Titan Snow Demon King was over 200,000 years old, and the Ice Bear King was over 200,000 years old). The battlefield was in the Far North, which was not advantageous for him, and he was fighting three against one, so he quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

The Thunder Sacred Dragon's scales shattered, and its blood spilled across the icy plains, but its fighting spirit remained undiminished. With the blessing of the Break Evil Dragon and its own indomitable will, it held on tenaciously and managed to severely injure the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King. The Ice Empress also suffered considerable injuries.

The battle was incredibly fierce; both sides were blinded by rage.

Just as Yu Yunting was about to exhaust himself, and the three Ferocious Beast were preparing to unleash even stronger killing moves—

"Stop!"

A chilling shout, yet carrying boundless authority and a hint of trembling, echoed across the battlefield.

The blizzard suddenly ceased. A figure in white slowly emerged from the depths of the Ice Palace —it was the Snow Empress! Her beauty remained undiminished, but her eyes had regained their usual coldness and depth. Yet, hidden within that coldness lay a complex and painful sorrow that was difficult to dispel.

Upon seeing her appear, both sides in the fierce battle involuntarily turned to look at her.

"Snow Empress!" Ice Empress and the other Ferocious Beast immediately stopped attacking.

Yu Yunting also dispelled his Sacred Dragon True Form, reverting to human form. He was covered in blood and his aura was weak, but his gaze was fixed on Snow Empress, filled with worry, longing, and a hint of grievance.

Looking at the badly wounded Yu Yunting, and then at her three most severely injured capable subordinates, Snow Empress felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She waved her hand and said to Ice Empress and the others, "You may all step back and heal your wounds."

"Xue'er, he..." Ice Empress wanted to say something more.

"Bing'er, step down!" The Snow Empress's tone was stern and brooked no argument.

The three Ferocious Beast dared not disobey and retreated in disgrace.

As Ice Empress was leaving, she glared at Yu Yunting with a look of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

On the icy plain, only Yu Yunting and Snow Empress remained, speechless. The wind and snow began to fall slowly again, the atmosphere oppressively suffocating.

After a long silence, Yu Yunting wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took a few difficult steps forward, and looked intently at the Snow Empress: "Xue'er... no, Snow Empress, I've come. I only want to ask you one question..."

He took a deep breath, as if using all his strength, his voice hoarse but incredibly firm. "Do you even have me, Yu Yunting, in your heart? If you do, we'll face any difficulty together! If not... I'll leave immediately and never bother you again!"

Snow Empress's delicate body trembled slightly, her pearly teeth biting her lower lip so hard it almost drew blood. Hundreds of thousands of years of cold memories told her that humans and beasts were destined to be apart; she was the emperor of the Far North, and he was a human prodigy, and their love was unacceptable to heaven and earth.

But all those years of memories, Yu Yunting's sincerity, his protection, and even his resolute willingness to fight to the death for her just now, burned her heart like the most intense flame.

She remembered his clumsy concern, how he went to learn ice sculpting just because she said she "liked ice sculpting," and how he took meticulous care of her when she "lost her memory"... That warmth was a light she had never experienced in her hundreds of thousands of years of cold Life.

Two lines of clear tears finally slid uncontrollably from the corners of Snow Empress's eyes, instantly freezing into ice crystals.

Looking at the young man before her, who had risked his life for her and was covered in wounds, the walls in her heart crumbled.

"Yes..." That one word seemed to have exhausted all her strength, yet it carried a sense of relief and liberation.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunting's eyes instantly shone with an unprecedented light, and his overwhelming joy dispelled all his fatigue and pain! He rushed forward and, disregarding everything, tightly embraced that cold, delicate body in his arms!

"Your words are enough!" Yu Yunting's voice choked with emotion. "Who cares about the Lord of the Extreme North, who cares about the difference between humans and beasts! Once I, Yu Yunting, have made up my mind about someone, no one in heaven or on earth can stop me! Anyone who dares to stand in our way, I will beat them until they submit!"

Snow Empress's stiff body gradually softened in the warm embrace. She closed her eyes, letting the tears flow, and hugged Yu Yunting tightly in return. Hundreds of thousands of years of loneliness seemed to have found its home at this moment.

The wind and snow continued, but on the icy plains, two hearts were tightly bound together.

Hidden in the void, Yu Yuanchen saw this scene and a faint, gratified smile finally appeared on his lips. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; this path, in the end, they must walk it themselves. He quietly turned around and disappeared into the wind and snow.

Even the wind and snow in the Far North seemed to have become much gentler. A love story that transcended race and time finally saw the light of day in this icy world.

The road ahead may not be smooth, but with each other by our side, we can be fearless. If difficulties arise, we still have his father; why not take advantage of his connections?
