Her cultivation rose to five hundred thousand years, and the Second Test called for her to enter the palace and undergo Frost Refining the Body.

• Snow Empress and Ice Empress asked Aoyao where the ice mirror was, and he had no answer.

The Ice Empress entered the Ice God's Third Trial, which drew her into a Questioning the Heart illusion. She rejected visions of a peaceful human world and of herself ruling the continent, recognizing that the latter could never happen while Aoyao was around.

• The Ice Empress entered the ice mirror and awakened as a human girl in a futuristic city, where Xue'er called her Bingbing and her memories identified her as a Soul Tool Engineer.
• The Ice Empress dismissed the vision of humans and Soul Beasts living in harmony, believing that becoming a god would let her force humans to accept Soul Beasts.

• Ice Empress broke free of the Third Trial's illusion and discovered that her cultivation had risen from four hundred thousand to six hundred thousand years.
• Snow Empress greeted Ice Empress, and the two playfully celebrated her success before asking Aoyao about the Fourth Trial.
