Persuading the Ice Empress!

This was a scorpion about one and a half meters long, beautiful to the extreme.

The front half of its body consisted of four overlapping layers, each slightly over half a foot long. Its head rested atop the foremost layer, its silver-white mouthparts glinting with a faint, chilling light.

Those four overlapping sections of its front body were covered in a special kind of scale.

No, not scales. More accurately, they were protrusions.

They were hexagonal protrusions that shone brilliantly, like diamonds.

These protrusions densely covered the front half of its body and its six long, powerful legs. Reflected in the light of the snow, they gave off incomparable radiance.

At that moment, it seemed to have become a source of light itself, refracting countless dazzling hues.

Its two front claws were each a meter long, likewise covered in strange, diamond-like hexagonal protrusions. Only the pincers at their tips, like its mouthparts, were silver-white and mirror-smooth.

Most extraordinary of all were its pair of hexagonal eyes, like yellow diamonds, gleaming with a jewel-like luster.

If its upper body was already dazzling enough, then the long, raised tail behind it was the perfect finishing touch.

Unlike the many-jointed tails of ordinary scorpions, the Ice Empress's long tail had only five segments.

Every segment was an alluring jade green, gleaming with the luster of life.

The five segments were the same color. The one closest to her upper body was the widest, narrowing farther back.

At the final segment, a tail hook studded with diamond-like particles was raised high. Its sharpest tip was likewise silver-white and mirror-like.

Looking at the Ice Empress before him, Huo Yuhao revealed an admiring expression.

Such a gorgeous soul beast, seemingly assembled entirely from gemstones—no wonder Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had chosen to grovel before her.

If this were made into a figurine in his previous life, it would probably become an instant bestseller!

Upon seeing her, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes unconsciously filled with infatuation as he stared at the Ice Empress with blazing eyes. "Little Bing Bing, you've finally appeared."

Yet the Ice Empress merely swept her gaze over him, looking mildly surprised.

Then her gaze immediately landed on Huo Yuhao's true body behind Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

As a Super Soul Beast nearing four hundred thousand years of cultivation, the Ice Empress's Spiritual Power might have been far inferior to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's, but it was still unquestionably among the greatest on the continent.

She had long noticed the human youth standing behind Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual body.

But because the Soul Power fluctuations on the human youth were simply too weak, she had never paid him any mind.

Until just now, when she suddenly sensed the Snow Empress's aura and heard her voice from within this human youth.

The Ice Empress said incredulously, "Xue'er, is that you?"

"It is." The Snow Empress's cool voice rang out again.

The Ice Empress's body suddenly trembled as she said in shock, "Th-this, what is going on? Where is your original body? How could your Spiritual Origin be lodged within this tiny ant?"

Huo Yuhao's face darkened.

Damn!

Were these soul beasts that had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years all this socially inept? Calling people 'ants' at every turn—did they have no regard for anyone else's feelings at all?

"Ice Empress, this is indeed a strange matter. It happened like this."

The Snow Empress let out an emotional sigh and began slowly recounting everything she had experienced not long ago to the Ice Empress.

A moment later, the Ice Empress stared at Huo Yuhao in shock. "Creating a god? You... you all..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm proudly sidled up to her. "Little Bing Bing, hurry up and praise me. Being able to come up with such a brilliant plan, don't you think I'm a genius?"

The Ice Empress could not be bothered with this little bootlicker at all. Her astonished gaze traveled up and down Huo Yuhao.

"So, your Soul Power Level has actually already reached the level of a Soul Ancestor, but you still have two empty Spirit Ring slots?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded. "That's right. After the Snow Empress and I fused, we immediately came here to find you without stopping, hoping to invite you to join our God Creation Plan."

Light flowed through the Ice Empress's yellow-diamond-like eyes as she seemed to ponder the matter.

Beside them, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said excitedly and anxiously, "Little Bing Bing, what is there to hesitate over? Even the Snow Empress has agreed. Do you think you can withstand the next Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Join us. Once Yuhao successfully becomes a god in the future, we can be together forever!"

The Ice Empress's savage mouthparts twitched as she roared, "You dead fat worm, get lost!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "..."

Huo Yuhao nearly burst out laughing.

A bootlicker's lot was truly just as lowly in any world!

The Ice Empress took a deep breath and looked seriously at Huo Yuhao. "Huo Yuhao, are you truly confident that you can become a god?"

Huo Yuhao smiled freely. "When it comes to becoming a god, I don't believe anyone would dare claim to be one hundred percent certain."

"But I believe that if even someone with my Talent and foundation cannot become a god, then no one else in the human world possibly can!"

Light flickered in the Ice Empress's eyes. Sensing the Snow Empress's unmistakable aura within Huo Yuhao, she finally made up her mind.

"Fine! Since even Xue'er believes it is worth a try, then I'll gamble with you!"

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly.

With the Snow Empress vouching for him, he had never worried that the Ice Empress would refuse.

After all, the Ice Empress's feelings for the Snow Empress were actually the same as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's feelings for her.

The only difference was that the Snow Empress was not quite as repulsed by her.

Though the Ice Empress had thoroughly cursed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm out, the moment he heard that she had finally agreed to join them, he immediately became full of energy again.

"Bing Bing, Yuhao's body has already undergone one transformation through the Snow Empress, greatly increasing its endurance."

"But your situation is different from the Snow Empress's. When she fused with Yuhao, she had already transformed into a primordial chaotic state with the aid of the hundred-thousand-year Snow Lotus. Whether in terms of compatibility or control, it was much easier to handle."

"Therefore, I suggest that your fusion should still proceed with bone first, then soul. However..." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm turned toward Huo Yuhao, his expression growing slightly serious. "Yuhao, this time, you need to be mentally prepared. The Ice Empress's transformation and fusion of your Spirit Bone will definitely be far more painful than the Snow Empress's."

Huo Yuhao nodded seriously. "I understand."

The Bone Fusion Pill could finally be put to use!

Beside him, the Ice Empress spoke. "Yuhao, because I am willingly fusing with you, I can choose the Spirit Bone I produce myself."

"Xue'er has already told me that she gave you a skull bone. In that case, the most suitable one for you from me would naturally be a spinal bone."

The Ice Empress paused slightly, her voice carrying a trace of anticipation. "Because this is voluntary, there will not be any problems with the Spirit Bone fusion. None of the power contained within the Spirit Bone will leak out in the slightest; it will all remain fully under my control."

"I am confident that during the fusion, I can replace your spinal bone, all your ribs, and your sternum."

"That way, the enhancement this Spirit Bone provides you can be maximized!"
