"What is this?"
The girl's slender, delicate body was flawless.
Her long, snow-white hair trailed behind her all the way down into the Ice and Snow World beneath her feet, immaculate and untouched by dust. Her sky-blue eyes were clear and ethereal, like an elf amid ice and snow.
Though her long white dress lacked even the slightest ornamentation, it made her appear so pure and peerlessly beautiful.
Meticulous and pristine, she was like a winter plum blossom in snow, standing apart from the rest, proud against snow and frost.
The woman had not expected to see a True Dragon in the Far North.
It even seemed to be a True Dragon hatchling.
At the same time, Gu Yu had not expected to encounter a human in the Far North, especially when her gaze fell upon him.
Every scale on his body stood on end.
Gu Yu:!
"This is bad, I've been discovered!"
"I'm done for! I died before even accomplishing anything!"
"Am I going to become a Spirit Ring?"
"No, someone like me, an ordinary soul beast, should be spared, right?"
After all, not every soul master slaughtered innocents indiscriminately. They merely selected soul beasts suitable for their Spirit Rings.
Besides, a human who appeared in the Core Circle of the Far North would not go out of her way to attack an "ordinary" soul beast like him.
"What a relief!"
So Gu Yu acted as if she did not exist. But just as he was about to leave, a pair of fair little hands appeared.
They directly grabbed the back of his neck.
The next moment, he was pulled into a soft, delicate embrace.
"A True Dragon that was only recently born? You actually dared to wander around the core area of the Far North. Little one, aren't you afraid something might happen?"
The woman curiously held Little Golden Dragon, turned him over, then shamelessly reached toward his lower body and fiddled with his legs.
"Hey, sis, what are you doing?!"
Gu Yu's face turned green. There was no hiding it anymore.
This was simply humiliating him!
Hearing that Gu Yu could actually speak, the woman was visibly stunned.
"You can actually speak human language?"
"Is this a True Dragon's talent? Where did you come from?" Her voice was like ice that never melted in the Far North—cold and distant, without a trace of warmth.
Yet her actions were not cold and aloof in the slightest!
Gu Yu clamped his legs together.
Furious, he said, "Woman, if you want to kill me, then do it! Make it quick!"
"Don't humiliate me like this!"
Being caught was one thing, but she was even playing with his body!
I knew it. Transmigrating into Douluo and becoming a soul beast really was a hellish start!
At this moment, Gu Yu had only one thought.
"Can I start over?"
The woman froze for a moment, then awkwardly withdrew her hand, though she still held him tightly against her chest.
She explained, "I'm not human."
"Since you can speak human language and you're a True Dragon, you seem quite intelligent. You should leave this place quickly."
"This is the Core Circle of the Far North. You're a Dragon Baby that was just born. Other soul beasts won't care whether you're a True Dragon or not."
On the contrary, if he truly was a True Dragon, the other soul beasts would be even more excited.
"Uh..."
"Not human?"
Gu Yu instantly reacted. Blue hair, white dress, a peerlessly beautiful girl, and the Core Circle of the Far North.
If she was not human, then she could only be the Ice Empress or the Snow Empress.
And beneath that coldness was a trace of gentleness, so she could only be That Woman.
"Big sister!"
There was always a way out!
Gu Yu stepped on her chest and threw his arms around her fair neck.
As the saying went—
The brave enjoyed the world first!
There was no mistake!
This was Snow Empress!
He had originally planned to seek out Snow Empress and warn her not to get captured by humans.
With Snow Empress or Di Tian protecting him, he could safely live through ten thousand years.
Only after ten thousand years would it be his time to become a god.
Snow Empress was dumbfounded.
She had merely been curious about how a True Dragon had appeared in the Far North. Thinking that this was also the future of soul beasts, she had planned to toss him back into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although the Far North and the Star Dou Great Forest did not interfere with each other, that person was, at least nominally, the Lord of Soul Beasts.
Giving him a True Dragon as a gesture of goodwill could count as an exchange.
If she could trade for the Auspicious Beast and have her stay in the Far North for a few years, then she would not have failed in her role as the Lord of the Far North.
Snow Empress thought of many things, and her expression gradually grew desolate.
Lord of the Far North?
She would not be one for much longer.
Even if she took human form, cultivated to the pinnacle of humanity, and became an Ultimate Douluo, her lifespan would only be three hundred years.
As for becoming a god—
Snow Empress felt that she was being somewhat fanciful.
How could gods possibly fail to see through a soul beast taking human form?
"Behave yourself!"
Sensing that Gu Yu was being restless in her arms, Snow Empress irritably grabbed his foot.
Where was he stepping?!
"I don't have time to play with you right now. Since you possess intelligence and understand human speech, do you want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest? I can send you there."
A True Dragon in exchange for having the Auspicious Beast stay in the Far North for a few years—Di Tian should agree, right?
Though the world of soul beasts was one where the weak were prey to the strong—
In the end, it depended on what kind of soul beast you were.
Take the Auspicious Beast, for example. Since her birth, had anyone dared to bully her?
The same was true for a True Dragon. There were only a few of them in the world.
Di Tian would certainly agree, and he would take good care of him.
"I won't!"
Now that he had found Snow Empress, why would he still go to Di Tian and sit in prison?
"Big sister, it's too dangerous outside. I'm scared!"
Hiss—
His scalp tingled as he said it.
But he had to hold on. He could not let go!
As for Snow Empress, she had raised children before, and she did not want to raise another one now.
Especially since she was about to rebuild herself into a human.
She could not bring along a burden.
Most importantly, she truly coveted the Imperial Lucky Beast!
If the Imperial Lucky Beast had descended upon the Far North and carried the fate of the Far North, she would not have had no confidence in overcoming the 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation.
Snow Empress remained expressionless as she lifted him by one little leg, intending to head for the Star Dou Great Forest before sealing herself away.
"Let's go!"
"Wait, wait, wait! I know of a way to help you overcome the 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation!" Since he had encountered Snow Empress, Gu Yu had no intention of letting her be subdued by Huo Yuhao.
She was a rare source of strength for the soul beasts.
One had to know that ten thousand years later—
Even with Di Tian still around, the enormous Star Dou Great Forest would ultimately become a zoo for humans.
"Hm?"
A solution to the 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation?
From a Dragon Baby that had just been born?
Although the Dragon Clan had declined, it still possessed a powerful foundation.
For instance, she was stuck at the threshold of the 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation.
Yet Di Tian, barring any accidents, would be able to endure until the 900,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation, or even the Million-Year Heavenly Tribulation.
"You can solve it? The 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation?"
At that moment, no matter how cold Snow Empress was, her heart could not help but tremble violently.
Even if she could become human again, how could that compare to her original soul beast body?
"Are you sure?"
Gu Yu nodded heavily.
"I swear in the name of the Dragon God!"
A Dragon Clan oath could be said to be the most solemn oath of the Dragon Clan.
Snow Empress believed him. Snow Empress was moved.
"Fine. If you can truly help me overcome the 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation, I'm willing to agree to any condition you have."
"Any condition?" Gu Yu's eyes instantly lit up.
"Truly anything?"
