At the highest point of the architecture in Snow Valley.

Di Tian, Snow Empress, and Bi Ji were gathered together in conversation.

"Snow Empress, you have already sensed how Liu Feng and the Auspicious Beast are suppressing the heavenly tribulation, have you not? What are your odds of success now?"

Di Tian asked in a deep voice.

Snow Empress gazed at the sunless, darkened sky, her expression indifferent.

"Forty percent..."

Di Tian frowned slightly. Forty percent... even if she succeeded, the next heavenly tribulation would almost certainly mean death!

This was the tragedy of their Ferocious Beasts!

In reality, it was not strictly necessary for a Ferocious Beast to reach a million years to become a god.

That was merely the theoretical upper limit!

Under normal circumstances, if one possessed sufficient talent, they might already possess the ability to become a god by the time of their second heavenly tribulation.

Take Di Tian, for instance; had it not been for the suppression of the heavenly laws, he would have long since regained his god-level status.

The same applied to Bi Ji, Lord Bear, and other Ferocious Beasts; they, too, should have become gods long ago.

Alas, there were no "ifs"!

The reality was that the more gifted a Ferocious Beast was, the more perilous the heavenly tribulation that descended upon them, for they should have transcended and become gods much earlier!

The million-year heavenly tribulation was actually prepared for Ferocious Beasts of average talent, and its power was not excessively abnormal.

"I see no hope of becoming a god. I had once considered taking human form to recultivate, but now that there is a chance to fight for it, I will give it my all."

Snow Empress's voice was calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Di Tian fell silent for a moment, inevitably thinking of himself. Could he survive his next heavenly tribulation?

His talent was even higher; the power of his next tribulation would likely be even more terrifying!

He had long since met all the conditions to become a god, yet he was suppressed by the heavenly laws!

Bi Ji sighed, "Can we soul beasts truly never become gods? Are there only two paths: taking human form to recultivate, or turning into ashes? It is too cruel..."

For a time, a despondent atmosphere gradually took hold.

Snow Empress suddenly asked, "What about Liu Feng? I have witnessed his talent; he possesses the potential to become a god, and he lacks the pressure of the soul beast heavenly tribulation."

"What are your intentions? Are you planning to let Liu Feng help you become gods?"

Snow Empress looked at Di Tian calmly, a hint of emotion appearing in her eyes.

Judging by the importance Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts placed on Liu Feng, she had already guessed a few things.

Di Tian did not deny it, nodding as he said:

"We intend to cultivate Liu Feng into a god; perhaps he can resolve the restriction that prevents us soul beasts from ascending."

"At the very least, he could become like those two lucky soul beasts from ten thousand years ago."

Di Tian looked down at the Ferocious Beasts below, a flash of fervent emotion crossing his eyes.

Liu Feng was the hope of the Ferocious Beasts!

That was why he had acted so ruthlessly following Zi Ji's absurd behavior.

He was making a statement to the other Ferocious Beasts: even if no harm came to Liu Feng, any lapse in care would be met with severe punishment!

Even if they were fellow kin or juniors, he would show no mercy!

Snow Empress nodded and said, "I understand."

"I also hope he can become a god. The plight of soul beasts... is too bitter."

"However, I suggest that you should allow Liu Feng to come into contact with the human world. The God Realm is open to human soul masters; he cannot be confined solely among soul beasts."

Snow Empress said earnestly.

Di Tian snorted coldly, his pupils constricting, "Do you truly believe there is any human stronger than I?"

Snow Empress shook her head and said indifferently:

"Di Tian, you are too arrogant. You despise humans because you are invincible in this world."

"But have you observed the changes in humanity? Tens of thousands of years ago, even Title Douluo were rare among humans. Ten thousand years ago, Soul Tools were only just beginning to develop..."

"And now? Humans are progressing, yet we soul beasts remain unchanged, merely accumulating years in vain."

Snow Empress sighed, a look of wistfulness appearing on her face.

As a spirit born of heaven and earth, she actually yearned for the warmth of the human world.

She had once left behind the legend of the Snow Maiden and had witnessed the power of human Soul Tools.

Therefore, she felt that Di Tian should allow Liu Feng to interact with humans to broaden his horizons.

If he remained only among soul beasts, his knowledge would be limited.

"Mere cheap tricks!"

Di Tian let out a cold snort, his words laced with a hint of anger, "Even if you gave humanity another hundred thousand years, they still wouldn't be able to do anything to the soul beasts!"

"True powerhouses do not rely on external objects!"

Down below, Liu Feng was presiding over a "barbecue party."

The Ice Bear King had hauled in tons of fresh fish, and under Liu Feng's direction, they were all skewered and placed over the fire.

In the Extreme North, this was a delicacy never before seen.

Especially when Liu Feng sprinkled the seasonings he had brought over the grilled fish, releasing a sweet and savory aroma.

The Ice Bear King's drool was already soaking his lapels; his eyes were fixed on nothing but the grilled fish!

"Liu Feng! Liu Feng! You're amazing! Don't leave, okay? I—I want to stay with you!"

The Ice Bear King licked his lips, speaking in a muffled voice.

The Titan Snow Demon King glared at him, "Glutton! You have no dignity!"

The Ice Bear King shoved him aside with his massive backside and draped an arm over Liu Feng's shoulder, "What do you know? I just think Liu Feng is great! A hundred times better than you!"

The Titan Snow Demon King snorted coldly, grabbed a grilled fish, and tossed it into his mouth.

A look of enjoyment appeared on his face; he had never eaten cooked food before either!

Liu Feng handed another grilled fish to the Ice Empress and smiled, "Thank you, Ice Empress. The meditation technique you taught me was very thorough and detailed."

The Ice Empress gave a soft huff, lifting her chin with a smug expression, "I just didn't want you thinking the meditation technique of our Ice Jade Scorpion clan was inferior!"

"Among all soul beast clans, our Ice Jade Scorpion meditation technique is the best!"

The Ice Empress took the grilled fish and turned her back to the other fierce beasts, maintaining her composure, though she ate quite quickly.

The Ice Bear King chuckled under his breath, "Liu Feng, she's just shy..."

"Xiao Bai! I think you're looking for a beating!"

The Ice Empress said, flustered and exasperated.

The Ice Bear King immediately slid to his knees, completely devoid of integrity, "Aunt Ice, I was wrong, I was wrong..."

Liu Feng suddenly stopped smiling and looked up, gazing at the cloud-covered sky.

A dangerous aura pressed down from above.

He could smell terror!

"Run...! Get out of here!!!"

Liu Feng shouted at the top of his lungs.

At the same time, the Night Sprite Dragon emerged above his head, suddenly expanding several meters, grabbing his shoulders, and instantly flying toward the exit of the Snow Valley.

Liu Feng's shout echoed throughout the Snow Valley.

It drew the attention of all the fierce beasts.

"Liu Feng...!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was shocked, being the first to give chase after Liu Feng.

The other fierce beasts followed closely behind, leaving only the three beasts of the Extreme North in their original spots.

They did not understand why Liu Feng's single sentence had caused all the other beasts to evacuate.

As the rulers of the Extreme North for hundreds of thousands of years, did they not know more than Liu Feng?

"Liu Feng is making a fuss over nothing, he scared me..."

The Ice Bear King patted his chest.

The Ice Empress rolled her eyes at him, but just as she was about to speak, her expression suddenly turned ghastly!

"Heavenly Tribulation...!!!"

"BOOM...!!!"

A pale golden pillar of lightning suddenly tore through the clouds, illuminating the entire world.

Connecting heaven and earth, it slammed directly into the center of the Snow Valley!!!

Powerful electrical currents surged and danced across the ground, as if weaving a web of lightning over the valley, while simultaneously blasting out a massive crater!

The surrounding ice and snow surged up like a monstrous tidal wave, reaching a height of a hundred meters!

The Ice Empress, the Ice Bear King, and the Titan Snow Demon King were caught in the middle, swept up into the sky!
