Seeing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm step forward, the curious Snow Empress stopped the Ice Empress and gave Sky Dream Ice Silkworm a chance to speak.
"Bing Bing, Snow Empress, you should both be close to facing your next Heavenly Tribulation, right...?"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's approach to persuading the Snow Empress and Ice Empress was much the same as in the original story, except that the Snow Empress had been added into the equation.
First, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pointed out that the Ice Empress would have difficulty surviving her next Heavenly Tribulation. Then, he revealed that the Snow Empress had failed to condense a Soul Core and no longer had any chance of breaking through to seven hundred thousand years.
Even the Ice Empress did not know much about the Snow Empress's failed attempt to condense a Soul Core. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had learned of it from the original novel within Huo Yuhao's memories.
The Snow Empress did not deny it. She merely nodded silently, acknowledging what Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had said.
After learning of the Snow Empress's condition, the Ice Empress looked at her with concern, while her killing intent toward Sky Dream Ice Silkworm grew a little stronger.
No matter how Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had learned of such a secret, he could not be allowed to reveal this information. Moreover, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's essence could certainly help the Snow Empress recover and help her survive her next Heavenly Tribulation!
If Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not give her a reason not to act, then this time, she would definitely make sure he stayed for good.
Once Sky Dream Ice Silkworm saw that his words had made the Snow Empress and Ice Empress realize the severity of the problem, he was quite pleased. Then, he revealed his plan—the God Creation Plan!
"I have a path here..."
As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained his God Creation Plan, both the Snow Empress and Ice Empress gradually changed expressions, and the way they looked at him changed as well. Clearly, they had been shocked by his bold plan, and even more shocked by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao's current state.
Could a Wisdom Soul Ring really be possible?
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not tell the Snow Empress and Ice Empress anything about the original story or the Divine Realm, much less share Huo Yuhao's memories with them.
After all, such things sounded like a scam.
They were far too illusory.
No matter how real the things you showed them were, without decisive proof, they could not possibly believe you.
Did people really think soul beasts that had no contact with human society were all naïve and innocent?
Soul beasts that could survive harsh environments and possess strength beyond that of their peers were bound to be more cunning and sinister than humans, and likewise more careful and cautious.
Of course, exceptions like Sky Dream Ice Silkworm existed.
Soon, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finished explaining his full plan and once again invited the Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
"Bing Bing, Snow Empress, join us. Brother Hao is definitely more outstanding than you imagine! He is the Child of Luck of this era. Becoming a god is inevitable for him, and he may even achieve things beyond anything we can imagine!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke those words with utter sincerity.
He had said everything he could say. It could be said that, for the Ice Empress, he had truly laid his heart bare.
At that moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was the very embodiment of a hopeless simp.
The Ice Empress fell silent. Clearly, she was conflicted—somewhat tempted, yet somewhat hesitant.
In the end, the Ice Empress looked toward the Snow Empress. She knew that compared to herself, the Snow Empress's thinking was more flexible.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also watched the Snow Empress nervously.
Because the Snow Empress's decision could directly influence the Ice Empress's judgment.
Finally, the Snow Empress smiled softly.
That smile made it seem as though even the wind and snow of the Far North Land were no longer so cold.
Her incomparably beautiful and pure smile robbed all the colors in the world of their brilliance.
The Snow Empress slowly spoke, her voice like flowing water over lofty mountains, streaming into the hearts of everyone present.
Huo Yuhao could not help but sigh. With that appearance and voice, it was no wonder the Ice Empress had been turned gay.
Who wouldn't be dazzled by her?
Even an iron tree would bloom in excitement!
The Snow Empress said, "I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"
"Hm?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm froze, then nodded blankly. "I would be glad to hear it."
"Recently, I discovered a Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus. With that Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus, I can reincarnate as a human. If Bing Er becomes my Wisdom Soul Ring as well, then I may not lack the possibility of reaching level one hundred and becoming a god."
"That's impossible!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rejected it decisively, his voice somewhat anxious. "The Divine Realm will not permit soul beasts to become gods!"
"How do you know?"
"I-I was once a million-year soul beast. Naturally, I can sense some of the world's secrets. If soul beasts could become gods, I would have become one long ago!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurriedly explained.
Claiming that it was the intuition of a million-year soul beast was more convincing than Sky Dream Ice Silkworm directly revealing the secrets of the Divine Realm.
It was the same reason as before—they had no proof.
"Besides, with your abilities, you have no way of turning Bing Bing into your Wisdom Soul Ring." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wanted to shatter the Snow Empress's unrealistic fantasy.
But the Snow Empress remained unmoved. Her gaze lingered on Huo Yuhao. "But don't you possess that technology and capability?"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was stunned, unable to understand what the Snow Empress meant.
Yet a bad feeling arose in Huo Yuhao's heart.
"Just as you said, the stronger one is, the more one can sense certain secrets of the world. The Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest can sense luck. Though I am not an Auspicious Beast, I can now sense luck in a special way as well."
The Snow Empress looked at Huo Yuhao. "You say this youth is the Child of Luck of this era. Though I cannot sense much luck from him, I can feel that he is very special."
"So, you agree?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had thought Snow Empress had taken a liking to Huo Yuhao.
"What I mean is, if I devour you, then aside from obtaining your origin and the method to condense a Wisdom Soul Ring, would I also have a chance to become a Child of Luck in this era? Even if I cannot become a god by then, there would still be a great chance for me to take Bing Er and find another way out!"
Snow Empress's tone did not change, yet to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's ears, it felt incomparably cold.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not expected Snow Empress to want to devour Huo Yuhao! He hurriedly turned to look at Ice Empress, wanting to see her attitude, only to find that her eyes were already gleaming with savage light.
Clearly, compared to following Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Ice Empress would rather be with Snow Empress.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's plan was very good, and they both considered it feasible, so Snow Empress had decided to do it herself.
Why?
Because of Snow Empress's pride and confidence as the foremost of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North Land!
Rather than trusting some so-called Child of Luck she had never even heard of!
"No, no, how could this happen? It shouldn't be like this..." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not believe it. He was already on the verge of collapse.
Hadn't he smoothly persuaded Bing Bing in the original work?
How was I supposed to live in the future without Bing Bing?!
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm still wanted to continue persuading them, but what greeted him was Ice Empress's icy gaze, along with another blizzard rising all around them.
The blizzard had already trapped Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm within it, like turtles in a jar.
"Why?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm muttered to himself, sorrow at being betrayed rising in his heart.
"Brother Sky Dream, that's because in the original work, you trapped Bing Bing first. Only then did she speak with you properly and consider your proposal," Huo Yuhao said helplessly within the Spiritual Sea.
Ice Empress had later been willing to make a Sacrifice because, while she was bound, she had agreed to Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Once the restraints were removed, her pride would not allow her to go back on her word.
But now, neither Snow Empress nor Ice Empress had been restrained, and they were facing the two of them together.
"Heh heh." Huo Yuhao laughed and sighed. "This is what soul beasts are. Devouring one another to make themselves stronger is the path of soul beasts! No matter how human they may look, they cannot change the essence of soul beasts!"
Huo Yuhao did not curse. He merely stated the truth.
It was also the reality he had seen clearly after shattering his own fantasies—weakness was the original sin!
The plot of the original novel could only serve as a reference.
After Huo Yuhao changed himself, everything that happened afterward would change as well.
Not to mention that Snow Empress and Ice Empress had never belonged to Huo Yuhao in the first place.
Yet Huo Yuhao's words sounded somewhat harsh to Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
"Human, you're courting death!" Ice Empress flew into a rage and was about to attack.
But she had not expected that Huo Yuhao had already controlled Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to activate the teleportation.
"Snow Empress, Ice Empress, we'll meet again sooner or later!"
Huo Yuhao left behind those words with a smile, then was teleported away by a powerful force.
By the time Snow Empress and Ice Empress realized something was wrong and tried to stop them, it was already too late. They struck at empty air.
Snow Empress stared at the place where Huo Yuhao had vanished, frowning in thought.
Ice Empress, however, was furious at having been toyed with by Huo Yuhao and summoned her clan to her side.
"Search every inch of the Far North Land! Find that human!"
