"Who?! Does anyone dare step forward?!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately went on high alert.
How dare someone show him such disrespect in front of his goddess?
A spatial rift appeared in front of Ice Empress.
Di Tian emerged with Liu Feng.
Seeing Ice Empress in such a wretched state, Liu Feng immediately summoned the Purple Star Spirit Bow.
He nocked an arrow and gathered a Demon-Breaking Arrow, aiming at the wounds on Ice Empress's body.
As a Ferocious Beast, Ice Empress naturally had a powerful body. The only reason she hadn't recovered immediately was that the aura of the heavenly tribulation was preventing her from healing.
"Bear with it..."
As Liu Feng spoke, he fired several arrows in succession.
"What are you doing...?!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cried out and tried to rush forward, but Di Tian stopped him.
Fear showed on his chubby face.
He didn't dare approach.
Besides, he could feel the aura of the heavenly tribulation on Ice Empress rapidly fading.
With a little time, Ice Empress would quickly regain her ability to move.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't help worrying again. If Ice Empress could move freely, she probably wouldn't choose to offer herself in sacrifice!
How could he carry out his godhood plan then?
"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, what is your plan?!"
Di Tian suddenly fixed his gaze on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, his golden vertical pupils devoid of emotion.
Liu Feng had been about to stop Di Tian from acting rashly.
That was because he had caught a familiar "scent" in Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's aura.
Sea God Tang San...
The other party definitely had Sea God Tang San's divine will within him.
Otherwise, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm should have died under Three-Eyed Golden Lion's attack back then.
Di Tian seemed to have noticed something amiss about Sky Dream Ice Silkworm too, and wasn't harboring murderous intent.
Otherwise, he might force Sea God Tang San, who was behind him, to reveal himself.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm huffed. "Di Tian! You imprisoned me for ten thousand years! And now you expect me to tell you about this tremendous opportunity?"
"He wants to create a god..."
Ice Empress sold him out at once, laying everything out.
"Bingbing..." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately looked wounded.
Di Tian sneered. "I tell you that you're talking out of your ass, and you still refuse to believe me?"
"You're entrusting your life to someone else's mercy. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, do you think everyone is as foolish as you?!"
Di Tian was glad he had listened to Liu Feng and hurried over to save Ice Empress.
If Ice Empress had really been lured away by the other party, the Soul Beast forces would have lost another powerhouse.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately said, "Little Yuhao will treat us well!"
Huo Yuhao's mind was a complete blank. For a twelve-year-old boy, everything happening now was far too bizarre!
He could only stammer, unable to get a single sentence out.
"Perhaps he has no such intentions now, but what about after he becomes a god? Your lives will depend on him. You'll be nothing but his dogs!"
Di Tian tore into him without mercy.
Ice Empress transformed into a human, becoming a girl with twin ponytails. Hearing this, she too seemed to fall into thought.
Soul Beasts had always been proud and unruly. Who would willingly put their life in someone else's hands?
She had been swayed earlier purely because of her own dire circumstances.
If she had a choice, she would never do something like this.
"Di Tian, how is Xue'er?"
Ice Empress asked anxiously.
"The heavenly tribulation! Right! Snow Empress's heavenly tribulation!"
"Di Tian! You look down on my method, but does that mean you're going to let every Soul Beast wait to die?!"
As if it had spotted a flaw in his argument, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm exclaimed excitedly, "You know better than anyone! Soul Beasts have no chance of becoming gods! Even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King from ten thousand years ago died!"
"Now Snow Empress is dead too! If we don't do as I say, Bingbing will die under the heavenly tribulation as well!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stared at Di Tian, its presence imposing.
He was the one who was right!
Soul Beasts had no hope!
The only way forward was to bet everything on a human genius and create a god!
"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm! Do you want to die?!"
Ice Empress flashed in front of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and launched an attack.
But her wounds were too severe. She failed to harm Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spirit body and instead coughed violently, her face turning pale.
Di Tian sneered. "Perhaps there was no hope before, but things are different now."
At the same time, Liu Feng used "One Leaf Covers the Sky" again, releasing the phantom of a green leaf that drifted over Ice Empress.
In an instant, Ice Empress lost her connection with heaven and earth and naturally could no longer sense the heavenly tribulation.
Ice Empress froze, staring blankly at Liu Feng.
What Ferocious Beasts feared most was the heavenly tribulation!
Now Liu Feng could shield Ferocious Beasts from its threat. His importance had instantly soared, surpassing even the Emperor Auspicious Beast!
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also realized something was wrong and exclaimed in disbelief:
"How is that possible? You... How can you conceal the heavenly tribulation?"
Huo Yuhao looked utterly bewildered. He still didn't understand what was going on and felt dazed.
Di Tian said calmly, "That's how it is. Snow Empress escaped calamity thanks to Liu Feng as well. With Liu Feng here, Soul Beasts no longer need to fear the heavenly tribulation."
"One day, Soul Beasts will find another way to become gods."
Liu Feng glanced at Di Tian and said with a smile, "If I can become a god, I'll help the Soul Beasts. Even if I can't, I still hope to change their circumstances."
"..."
Di Tian glanced at Liu Feng in surprise.
He had always thought of Liu Feng as a child and had never told him about his plans.
He had intended to wait until Liu Feng was older before speaking to him frankly.
He hadn't expected Liu Feng to return his sincerity with sincerity and already be thinking of the Soul Beasts.
His expression remained unchanged, but warmth stirred in his heart.
"How is this possible... How is this possible..."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm muttered to himself, his eyes filled with panic.
Liu Feng's appearance had completely thrown his plans into disarray!
He looked pitifully at Ice Empress, but she didn't even spare him a glance.
"Was I wrong? My path..."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm grew more and more panicked, as if his whole worldview were collapsing.
Suddenly, golden light flashed in his eyes. His panic vanished, and he seemed like a completely different person.
He gave Liu Feng a long, deep look, then swept up Huo Yuhao and quickly left.
Liu Feng's heart jolted. That look just now had definitely not belonged to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!
"Xue'er...!!!"
Ice Empress hurried back to Snow Valley, shouting loudly.
Snow Valley had already been flattened. No—it had been blasted into a huge pit.
Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts had gathered there too, surrounding Liu Feng and Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Every so often, they glanced at Liu Feng, as if afraid he might suddenly disappear.
There was no helping it. Liu Feng was just too important now!
Titan Snow Demon King ambled over, while Ice Bear King curled into a ball and rolled over from afar.
"Mom...!"
The Ferocious Beasts of the Extreme North gathered together and chatted for a while, all of them in high spirits.
Snow Empress eventually brought them over to Di Tian's side and looked at Liu Feng.
"Thank you, Liu Feng. If you hadn't been there, I would already be dead."
Snow Empress spoke sincerely.
Liu Feng smiled faintly. "I promised you I'd save you. Of course I would!"
But Snow Empress couldn't smile. She sighed and said:
"Yes, Liu Feng. I should have given you a Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, but I just learned that a human stole it."
"It must have been the Soul Engineer who interfered halfway through."
"But you don't need to be disappointed. If you wait a little longer, you'll still get your Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus."
Snow Empress made the promise with a serious expression.
As the spirit of the Extreme North, finding another Snow Lotus was only a matter of time. She would make sure Liu Feng received his "reward."
Ice Empress's expression turned fierce, murderous intent spreading from her. "That damned human! I'll make him pay!"
Ice Bear King growled furiously.
Di Tian sneered. "He stole our things. Does he think he can get away? Go after him!"
