The springs of extreme cold and searing heat fell like rain.

Yu Shuangbai floated in mid-air, his back adorned with crystalline wings edged in flowing crimson patterns.

His pupils were no longer a uniform icy blue.

Instead, one was as cold as blue ice, and the other as searing as red fire.

His skin was as fair as snow, his divine radiance restrained within.

He looked like a divine lord descended upon the world.

"Xiao Shuangbai!"

Snow Emperor hurriedly stepped forward, reaching out to pull him into her embrace.

Her grip was tight, as if she wanted to merge him into her own body.

Yu Shuangbai did not resist; he simply reached out to pat Snow Emperor's back, soothing her softly:

"Sister Xue'er, I have returned."

His heart felt light, the knots of anxiety within him having completely unraveled.

The current Yu Shuangbai no longer felt any trepidation regarding the future.

He had touched the realm of the gods!

Becoming a god was no longer a question.

All that was needed was time.

And the decision of exactly how he would ascend!

Dugu Bo watched the two figures embracing in the sky.

His gaze was complex.

He could tell.

Since emerging from beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, some indescribable, earth-shattering change had occurred within Yu Shuangbai.

Along with a trace of inexplicable danger...

Stepping out of Snow Emperor's embrace, Yu Shuangbai gently took her hand and descended to the ground.

The wings on his back folded shut.

Nearby, Dugu Yan's face flushed slightly, and she reached out to cover her eyes with her small hands.

This was because the clothing on Yu Shuangbai's upper body had been completely shredded during the expansion of his wings.

His torso, carved with god-like precision, was exposed to the air.

The perfect, artistic lines of his muscles made Dugu Yan, who was peeking through the gaps in her fingers, swallow hard.

A sudden urge to reach out and touch him surged in her heart.

One could hardly blame Dugu Yan for this.

It was not that she was infatuated by nature.

It was simply that after being baptized by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, Yu Shuangbai's body could be described as perfect in this world.

Snow Emperor keenly noticed Dugu Yan's gaze.

She frowned.

With a cold snort, she took a white robe from her Soul Tool and draped it over Yu Shuangbai with a sense of possessiveness.

The disappearance of the beautiful sight made Dugu Yan sigh in secret regret.

"Senior Dugu, I am now ten percent certain that I can resolve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison in you and Miss Dugu Yan without any side effects."

"No rush."

Dugu Bo waved his hand.

"It is getting late today. You should rest early; there is plenty of time to begin tomorrow."

Although he was impatient to resolve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison afflicting himself and Dugu Yan, he noticed the flash of fatigue in the depths of Yu Shuangbai's eyes and suppressed the urge.

The poison in their bodies was not a matter of a single moment.

There was no need to be overly anxious.

It would be better to let Yu Shuangbai rest, adjust his state to the peak, and then proceed with the detoxification.

"Very well." Yu Shuangbai did not refuse.

In any case, he would certainly fulfill the promise he had made.

"I have arranged rooms for you, though the conditions are limited and not exactly luxurious. Please make do for the night."

"You are very thoughtful, Senior Dugu."

Yu Shuangbai naturally would not demand a luxurious room.

No matter how crude this place might be, could it possibly be cruder than his dwelling in the Far North?

One must know that his residence in the Far North contained absolutely no superfluous furniture.

It was simply a house carved from ice, along with an ice table, an ice chair, and an ice bed.

Regarding the requirements for a living environment, Yu Shuangbai's standards were very simple.

As long as it was habitable, that was enough.

After pacifying Snow Emperor, Yu Shuangbai arrived at the room Dugu Bo had prepared for him.

He took off his outer robe, climbed onto the bed, and covered himself with the silk quilt.

Closing his eyes, his breathing soon became steady as he drifted into a deep slumber.

However, strictly speaking, Yu Shuangbai could not be considered to be truly sleeping.

At this moment, his consciousness had submerged into his Sea of Consciousness.

The originally empty Sea of Consciousness now contained a few extra things.

Two crystal cores, one blue and one red.

These were the godheads belonging to the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.

Beyond that.

There were also two graceful figures.

One was dressed in a red dress, possessing a fiery figure.

With bright red lips and long, supple hair cascading down her back like fire, her entire being exuded a sultry, exotic charm.

The other was dressed in a blue dress, her temperament appearing more gentle and cold.

The body manifested by Yu Shuangbai's spiritual power arrived before the two figures and spoke softly:

"Are you two seniors doing well?"

Indeed.

These two figures were none other than anyone else.

They were precisely the souls of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King from beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Originally, after offering up their godheads and sacrificing their final strength to Yu Shuangbai.

They should have completely dissipated and vanished from this world.

But perhaps due to the peculiar reaction of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King sacrificing themselves simultaneously.

Or perhaps due to the special power inherent within Yu Shuangbai himself.

The dragon souls of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King did not completely dissipate along with that disappearance.

Instead, they remained within Yu Shuangbai's Sea of Consciousness.

They became a form of existence similar to Electrolux, the Necromancer from the second generation.

"Not bad, at least it's better than staying in that pitch-black space."

The Fire Dragon King said, her mood quite pleasant.

Although both she and the Ice Dragon King had gone into the sacrifice expecting to dissipate, it was naturally better to retain their consciousness in the world.

Even though they were residing within Yu Shuangbai's Sea of Consciousness, both great Dragon Kings were already very satisfied.

After all, this way, they could at least observe the outside world through his perspective whenever Yu Shuangbai permitted it.

By comparison, the thousands of years spent beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well previously had only been filled with endless loneliness and the sensation of their own dragon souls gradually fading away.

Life in Yu Shuangbai's Sea of Consciousness now was far better than that.

The Ice Dragon King also nodded slightly.

Clearly, she was also very satisfied with the current situation.

"Although we do not know the specific reason why."

"Our two dragon souls are indeed exceptionally stable now."

"However, we have become completely bound to you, and it is impossible for us to leave even if we wanted to."

Although she said this, the Ice Dragon King did not mind it much.

Bound together, then so be it.

In any case, even without this matter, they should have long since perished.

At the very least, they could now catch a glimpse of the sights of later generations through Yu Shuangbai's perspective.

"Of course, we certainly won't be staying in your Sea of Consciousness for free."

"If you have any questions regarding your cultivation, you can come to the two of us to resolve them."

"Consider it the rent for living inside your Sea of Consciousness."

The Ice Dragon King said softly.

The Fire Dragon King at his side nodded in agreement.

"Then I shall have to trouble you both in the future, seniors."

Yu Shuangbai felt a surge of joy in his heart.

This meant that in addition to his teachers, the Snow Emperor and the Ice Empress—both at the Super Douluo and Limit Douluo levels—he now had two more teachers at the Half-Step God King level.

His path of cultivation could truly be described as smooth sailing.
