Venti Moves Mountains and Fills Seas!

Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, but still sat down.

She looked at the harmless-looking youth before her, and the urge to probe him that she had felt earlier now seemed somewhat ridiculous.

Probe what?

Probe someone who could treat the North Glacier like building blocks?

Just then, the massive golden Sky Curtain in the sky began to vibrate once more.

The Sky Curtain, which had been frozen on the image of the Snow Empress, began to display new information.

It was a detailed introduction regarding the ninth-ranked individual, the Snow Empress.

[Snow Empress]

[The ruler of the Far North, the Heavenly Snow Woman born from the essence of heaven and earth.]

[Noble by birth, she does not need to hunt Soul Beasts, growing instead by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.]

[Ability Rating: In the Far North, she is an invincible existence. Controlling the ultimate snow, she can freeze time and space.]

As the text appeared, the screen began to play clips of the Snow Empress's past battles.

It was a boundless blizzard.

The Snow Empress stood alone, facing several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had intruded into the core circle of the Far North.

She did not even need to use her martial soul; she simply raised her hand.

The snow filling the sky instantly solidified.

Those massive Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast did not even have time to scream before they were turned into lifelike ice sculptures.

Immediately after, the Snow Empress blew a gentle breath.

Crack—

The ice sculptures shattered, turning into countless crystalline powders that dissipated into the cold wind.

The entire process was elegant and silent, yet it exuded a suffocating sense of despair.

Inside Godwind City, countless soul masters felt their scalps go numb.

Is this the strength of the ninth rank?

Is this the neighbor who just moved in next door to them?

If it weren't for the wind wall erected by His Excellency Venti, the cold air radiating from the Snow Empress alone would likely have turned Godwind City into a dead city.

Qian Renxue watched the images on the Sky Curtain, her hands resting on her knees subconsciously clenching tight.

She considered her talent peerless, possessing the god-level martial soul Six-Winged Angel.

But if she were to face the Snow Empress in this state, she had no certainty of victory.

What's more, the Snow Empress was only ranked ninth.

"Very strong, isn't she?"

Venti's voice rang out from the side.

Qian Renxue turned her head to see Venti resting his chin on his hand, watching the Sky Curtain with an appreciative expression.

"Ultimate ice and snow, a pure Elemental Lifeform."

"Truly a masterpiece of nature."

Venti gave a very high evaluation.

Above the Sky Curtain, the images gradually faded, and new golden characters emerged.

[Ranking Reward]

[Given that the Snow Empress is the ruler of the Far North and has actively sought change.]

[Special Reward: Ice God Godhead Fragment (one).]

[Note: Collect the Godhead to comprehend the Law of Ice; one can become a god on the spot without the need for faith.]

Boom!

As soon as these words appeared, the entire Douluo Continent erupted.

Godhead Fragment!

Becoming a god!

These two terms held a fatal temptation for any soul master.

Inside the Worship Hall of Martial Soul Hall.

Qian Daoliu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his golden pupils erupting with a terrifying brilliance.

"Godhead Fragment..."

"To actually reward a Godhead Fragment directly?!"

Even he, having waited a full hundred years for the inheritance of the Angel God, was nothing more than a High Priest.

And now, a mere reward from a ranking list had offered the hope of becoming a god.

The Far North Ice Plains—no, it was now the North Glacier of Godwind City.

Inside the Ice Palace.

Snow Empress, who had always maintained a cold and detached expression, felt her heart of ice, which had remained unmoved for ten thousand years, beat violently upon seeing the words "Godhead Fragment."

A blue orb of light, radiating an intensely frigid aura, appeared out of thin air before her.

Within the orb lay a higher-order power of laws that made even her soul tremble.

"Is this... the power of a god?"

Snow Empress reached out with a trembling hand. The moment her fingertips touched the orb, an epiphany she had never experienced before flooded her mind.

It was a power that transcended soul power.

Beside her, Ice Emperor stared with wide, envious eyes.

"Sister! We're going to be rich!"

"With this, who needs to care about the face of that Wind God?"

Snow Empress suddenly withdrew her hand, her eyes instantly regaining their clarity.

She turned her head, looking through the window of the Ice Palace at the cyan wind wall that separated the two worlds.

"Bing'er, watch your tongue."

"This reward is good, but one must have the life to keep it."

"Do you think that existence, who could move a glacier with a wave of his hand, would care about a single fragment?"

"Besides..."

Snow Empress's gaze grew profound.

"Since this Sky Curtain can bestow rewards, it can naturally take them back."

"Right now, we need that person's protection more than anything."

"Otherwise, this fragment will only become our death warrant."

Godwind City, back garden.

Qian Renxue watched the reward on the Sky Curtain, her breathing becoming rapid.

As the successor to the Angel God, she knew better than anyone how difficult it was to become a god.

Yet now, this opportunity was laid out right before her eyes.

"Are you... not tempted?"

Qian Renxue looked at Venti.

That was the chance to achieve godhood.

Even a Limit Douluo would fight until they were battered and bloody for such a thing.

Venti, however, merely curled his lips, looking entirely uninterested.

"It's just a piece of broken glass; what's there to be tempted by?"

"Compared to that, I'm more concerned that I might have used a bit too much force when moving house earlier."

Used too much force?

Qian Renxue was stunned.

Before she could even process what Venti meant, the earth suddenly shuddered.

It wasn't a localized tremor, but a dull vibration coming from deep beneath the ground, as if the entire world were trembling.

The wine glasses on the table jumped slightly, sending ripples through the liquid.

"What's going on? An earthquake?"

Feng Xiaotian hurriedly steadied the table, his face full of panic.

Venti scratched his head, a slightly awkward smile appearing on his face.

"Well..."

"Just now, in order to cut the glacier over in one piece, I used a bit too much wind."

"It's possible... probably... maybe..."

"I shifted the tectonic plates."

Qian Renxue's eyes widened.

Shifted the tectonic plates?!

Is that even human speech?!

She abruptly stood up, her gaze fixed on the south.

As a top-tier powerhouse, her perception far surpassed that of ordinary people.

She could clearly sense a vast, unimaginably immense aura rapidly approaching from the extremely distant southern sea.

The feeling was akin to two colossal landmasses hurtling towards each other at full speed across the ocean!

West of Douluo Continent, the Endless Sea.

The originally calm sea surface was now turbulent, with giant waves hundreds of meters high crashing wildly against the coastline.

This was not a tsunami.

It was because two continents, originally separated by tens of thousands of miles, had their distance forcibly shortened under some irresistible force.

Sun-Moon Continent.

This was a continent where soul-guide technology was highly developed, but the soul master system was relatively backward.

At this moment, the imperial palace of the Sun-Moon Empire was in utter chaos.

"Report—!"

"Your Majesty! For some unknown reason, our continent's plate is accelerating eastward!"

"At this speed, it is estimated that in just half an hour, it will border Douluo Continent to the east!"
