Hearing Xue Bingchen's shout, Snow Empress's opening movement paused slightly.
She turned her head and looked deeply at the white-haired little boy, whose face was full of excitement as he clapped with all his might.
A breathtaking smile blossomed on her peerlessly beautiful face, one that made even the wind and snow filling the sky pale in comparison.
The next moment, Snow Empress moved.
Without using any Soul Power to deliberately create an imposing display, she simply relied on her body's instincts and began to dance gracefully atop the Far North, beneath the falling snow.
As she danced, the wind and snow throughout the Far North seemed to come alive, transforming into her most devoted dance partners.
Her dance was exquisitely beautiful, at times like light clouds veiling the moon, at times like a flowing breeze swirling through snow.
Her every movement, every turn, even every slight flick of her fingertips, perfectly aligned with the most profound laws of ice and snow between heaven and earth.
Xue Bingchen's eyes widened as he stared unblinkingly at Snow Empress's dance.
He saw the temperature in the air plummet as Snow Empress's long skirt fluttered, yet the cold was not biting. Instead, it carried an utterly pure, breathtaking beauty.
Countless crystalline snowflakes spun around Snow Empress, forming small ice-and-snow tornadoes. Yet when they came within three feet of her body, they transformed into specks of icy-blue radiance and merged into her.
"Th-this... is the Dance of the Heavenly Snow Woman..."
Xue Bingchen watched blankly, as though he could see the birth of the Far North, the formation of ancient glaciers, and countless Snow Sprites singing joyfully in the wind.
There was not the slightest killing intent in Snow Empress's dance, yet it contained an absolute will capable of freezing time and space and sealing all things in ice.
It was something that stood above all else—Ultimate Ice!
Under the impact of this dreamlike, beautiful scene, the meridians within Xue Bingchen's body, nourished by countless heavenly treasures for three years, unconsciously began to resonate with the rhythm of Snow Empress's dance. The resonance was incredibly faint, yet incomparably pure.
"Bzzz—"
At the instant that resonance appeared, it was as if a heavy shackle deep within Xue Bingchen's mind let out a crisp cracking sound.
Along with that crack, a vast, jumbled torrent of information burst through the seal like floodwaters breaching a dam and surged into his consciousness.
As he watched Snow Empress's peerless dance and the mysterious trails circling her body, faintly carrying the intent of Emperor Sword: Ice Extreme Peerless and Emperor Palm: Great Cold No Snow, the fragments of memory in his mind began to frantically piece themselves together.
"The Far North... the Three Heavenly Kings..."
"The Heavenly Snow Woman, Snow Empress... seven hundred thousand years of cultivation..."
"The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, Ice Empress... nearly four hundred thousand years of cultivation..."
"Martial souls... Spirit Rings... Spirit Bones... Soul Masters..."
Terms that had once been unfamiliar yet felt incomparably familiar flashed through the fog in his mind like lightning.
At last, he understood why the Far North felt so familiar to him, why he felt so close to the two Ice Empresses, and why he knew that humans needed to awaken their martial souls at the age of six!
In Xue Bingchen's crystalline ice-blue eyes was reflected Snow Empress dancing like a goddess amid the snow filling the sky. Stormy waves surged in the depths of his heart as an incomparably shocking yet absolutely certain thought surfaced clearly in his mind:
"Is this... Douluo Continent?!"
After briefly sorting through the memory fragments surging through his mind like a tide, Xue Bingchen's tiny head felt as though the world were spinning. He was dizzy and disoriented, as if ten thousand Far North Ice Bees were buzzing inside his skull.
His large ice-blue eyes, once as clear as icy springs, were now rounded wide with extreme shock. His pupils contracted violently, his little mouth hung slightly open, and even his breathing stalled for half a beat.
"I... I actually transmigrated?! This... this is Douluo Continent?!"
The thought exploded within Xue Bingchen's young heart, stirring up monstrous waves.
He blankly looked at his fair, slender little hands, delicate as lotus roots, then at the little robe of Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm Silk he wore. An indescribable sense of absurdity and unreality surged through him.
Although the memories of his previous life remained somewhat vague, he could be one hundred percent certain that he had once been an adult with a mature mind, living in a modern society!
But now, he had not only become a three-year-old brat, he had also... somehow lived for three whole years in the core region of the Far North, a place teeming with danger and Soul Beasts!
What made his face burn even more, making him wish he could immediately dig a three-bedroom apartment beneath himself into this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Rock, was this—
The memories he had just sorted out told him that for nearly the past two and a half years, from the very first day he learned to speak, he had naturally and without the slightest psychological burden called the lofty, frost-cold Ruler of the Far North before him, the Heavenly Snow Woman with seven hundred thousand years of cultivation...
"Mom"?!
Not only that, he had called the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, a four-hundred-thousand-year ferocious beast capable of unleashing devastating blizzards and killing without blinking...
"Auntie Ice Empress"?!
Heavens... what the hell had I been doing for the past three years... Xue Bingchen let out a despairing wail in his heart.
He recalled countless times when he had rubbed himself against Snow Empress's flawless, soft, full embrace. He recalled clinging desperately to Snow Empress's neck and refusing to let go whenever he was afraid of thunder.
He even recalled the sight of Snow Empress's peerlessly beautiful yet cool face drawing close when he was hungry, her soft, icy lips like snow lotuses upon an iceberg slowly feeding warm Millennium Ice Marrow Milk into his mouth...
Boom!
Xue Bingchen felt a rush of blood shoot straight to his head. His originally fair, rosy little face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, and even his tiny ears seemed about to drip blood.
The overwhelming influx of information, combined with the spiritual turbulence caused by the merging of his past and present memories, instantly exhausted his Mental Power, which had never been strong due to his young age.
His body swayed sharply, and his vision went dark. His little hands instinctively clutched his aching head as his small body, like a log that had lost its support, toppled stiffly toward the ice rock beside him.
"Chen'er!"
"Little Bingchen!"
What sort of powerful beings were the two Ice Empresses?
Their Mental Power had long since enveloped every inch of the surrounding hundreds of miles.
Almost at the very instant Xue Bingchen's complexion changed and his body swayed ever so slightly, the hearts of the two Rulers of the Far North clenched violently.
Snow Empress, who had been dancing gracefully amid the falling snow as if she had become one with heaven and earth, abruptly stopped her exquisite dance.
