The Snow Empress stood to one side, watching everything unfold.
Her gaze lingered on Yinye for a long time.
Five hundred thousand years.
Void Emperor.
She thought of herself.
Seven hundred thousand years.
Heavenly Snow Woman.
Soon, she would evolve too.
For the fourth time.
She looked at Bai Lan, a complicated light flickering in her eyes.

But she was looking forward to finding out.
Qingzhu stood at the very back.
She looked at Yinye, a gentle smile in her eyes.

The Ice Empress, seven hundred thousand years.
The Snow Empress, seven hundred thousand years.
Qingzhu, one hundred thousand years.
Two million years in total.
"Two million years..." he said softly. "How many could there be across the entire continent?"
No one answered him.
But he knew the answer.
