• 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 remembered Aoyao’s diary rewards and realized the scene was an illusionary trial.
• Ice Empress resolved to get Aoyao to write Snow Empress’s name more often so she could obtain a reward that would help her survive the tribulation.

Ice Empress awakened from the Third Trial with six hundred thousand years of cultivation and learned that the Fourth Trial would transform her into an Ice Spirit Body. She hesitated over completing the painful trial naked on an Ice Platform with Aoyao assisting, but she did not intend to abandon the Ice God's inheritance.

• Ice Empress felt awkward about Aoyao seeing her naked but considered accepting the discomfort rather than giving up the Ice God's inheritance.
