Ice Empress: This Is Too Humiliating! Snow Empress: Endure It to Survive

"Humans are indeed all unreasonable robbers!"

Ice Empress -like compound eyes immediately straightened, and a chilling blue wind emanated from his body.

"All they're thinking about is how to exploit us Soul Beast!"

"There are only a handful of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast on the entire continent, and you actually dare to dream of collecting nearly ten?"

"So, all we Soul Beast do after cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years is end up as mere ornaments on humans?"

Seeing that this ancestor was about to explode again, Ye Qing quickly raised his hand to interrupt, both amused and exasperated. "Ice Empress, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

"Which of these two Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring I possess was obtained through the indiscriminate killing of innocent people?"

At that moment, Ye Qing quickly and concisely recounted how he unexpectedly acquired his Eighth Soul Ring and how his ninth Soul Ring, through a series of fortuitous events, devoured a 100,000-year-old Iceberg Snow Lotus.

After hearing about this extraordinary encounter, the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

The process by which he obtained his first Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring was also incredibly bizarre.

"Hmph, so what?!"

Ice Empress remained defiant. "You got lucky with those two Soul Ring, but what about after that?"

"You still need a full nine Soul Ring slots."

"You expect to stumble upon such a miraculous encounter every time you travel? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Ye Qing shrugged, spreading his hands innocently. "You can't blame me for that."

"The ironclad rule of the Douluo Continent is clear: human Soul Master cannot break through realms without fusing Soul Ring. I can't just ruin my own future, can I?"

At this point, Ye Qing deliberately turned his gaze to Snow Empress and sighed Youyou, "Besides, both of you big shots heard it just now."

"If my Chaos World wants to continue to grow and expand, and evolve its internal space into a true world that can completely avoid Heavenly Tribulation, the prerequisite is that my cultivation level as the host must be improved."

"If I don't acquire a high-level Soul Ring, my cultivation will stagnate, and the Chaos World won't be able to satisfy you two."

These words hit the nail on the head!

The insults that Ice Empress was about to utter were abruptly swallowed back down his throat.

I feel as disgusted as if I'd swallowed a fly.

Yes!

The current situation is that, in order to avoid the fatal Heavenly Tribulation in the future, she and Xue'er have to rely on this kid's Chaos World evolution.

And this kid's evolution of the Chaos World depends on him absorbing Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring to become stronger.

After all that effort, the logic still needs to be closed-loop!

In order for this kid to live long enough to raise the Chaos World, they

They couldn't stop him from absorbing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

In the future, he might even have to personally go out and hunt down other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for their Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

The thought that he, one of the Three Kings of the Far North, would be reduced to a "Soul Hunting hunter" for human Soul Master was unbearable.

Ice Empress felt a chill run down his spine, and his mood plummeted to rock bottom.

"This is so humiliating..." Ice Empress muttered resentfully.

Look at the scorpion's speechless and humiliated expression.

Ye Qing's eyes darted around, and a mysterious smile curved her lips.

"Actually, there are other ways to solve the problem of Soul Ring besides bloodshed."

Ye Qing drawled out his words, speaking slowly, "Compared to fighting and forcibly stripping away the Soul Ring, I personally prefer another extremely gentle method—sacrifice!"

Upon hearing those two words, Ice Empress felt as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Heh." She immediately let out a series of cold laughs.

The way she looked at Ye Qing was as if she were looking at a mentally unstable madman.

"Sacrifice?"

"Human boy, are you dreaming?"

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast has endured tens of thousands of years of trials and tribulations to cultivate; which one of them is not a supreme overlord who dominates a region?"

"You actually expect them to willingly sacrifice their lives, souls, and all their cultivation to fulfill the desires of a human being like you? Have they lost their minds?"

Ye Qing remained unperturbed by Ice Empress's mockery.

Meanwhile, Snow Empress, who was deep in thought, had a sharp glint in her sapphire-like eyes.

Snow Empress slowly put down her teacup, looking thoughtfully at Ye Qing:

"With me and Bing'er guarding you, even if we look across the Star Dou Great Forest or the Endless Deep Sea, there will be very few creatures that can stop us from Soul Hunting for you."

"You know that forced hunting is simpler and more direct, so why do you insist on mentioning this vague and ethereal sacrifice?"

"You... you're implying something."

As expected of the ruler of the Far North who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, he saw through Ye Qing's thoughts at a glance!

Ye Qing secretly praised him.

His playful expression vanished, replaced by a serious and composed demeanor.

"Lord Snow Empress is truly perceptive."

Ye Qing smiled slightly and slowly explained, "Even if you succeed in forcibly hunting down Soul Beast, the resentment it generates will remain in your Soul Ring and Soul Bone. If you're not careful when absorbing it, you'll suffer a backlash."

"But sacrifices are different."

"If Soul Beast voluntarily sacrifices itself, it can not only achieve a perfect synergy with the Soul Master, but also unleash the full power of its Soul Power and Soul Bone."

"What's the point of all this nonsense?" Ice Empress interrupted impatiently, "No matter how perfect the reward, no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would willingly die."

"Under normal circumstances, that's true," Ye Qing suddenly blurted out. "But what if it's for true immortality?"

Ice Empress was taken aback. "What did you say?"

Even Snow Empress couldn't help but look at him.

Ye Qing knew it was time to fabricate a story. "I once saw a record of this in an extremely ancient and mysterious book."

"When Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast performs its highest-level soul sacrifice, its physical body is destroyed, but its core soul does not completely perish."

"That purest essence of the soul will reside entirely within the depths of the produced Soul Ring and Soul Bone."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this Ice Empress and the Snow Empress exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.

Is there such a thing as Soul Beast sacrifice?

They are indeed Soul Beast, but they have never been sacrificed, so I really didn't know about this.

Ye Qing's point was not to prove whether the matter was true or false.

What he really wanted to say was later.

"I also saw a saying in an ancient book."

"With the supreme power of the gods, it is merely a matter of turning one's hand to peel away and reshape a complete soul residing in Soul Ring or Soul Bone, and to recreate a physical body."

"Sacrifice is never death."

"It's a high-stakes gamble on becoming a god!"

The soul is immortal!

The gods are resurrected!

Ice Empress's scorpion eyes contracted sharply.

This unprecedented and shocking theory completely overturned her understanding of the Heaven and Earth Rules this world.

What she originally saw as a humiliating "sacrifice"

In Ye Qing's words, it had actually become a premium ticket to the Divine Realm, a ticket to immortality?

Even the Snow Empress, who was always unfazed by the collapse of Mount Tai, could not remain calm at this moment.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and an unprecedented, overwhelming brilliance erupted from her usually cold and indifferent blue eyes!

Become a god!

For a desperate Ferocious Beast, the allure of those two words far surpasses even the desire to avoid Heavenly Tribulation!

Heavenly Tribulation can only allow you to barely survive.

But becoming a god is the only true way to achieve eternal immortality!

Snow Empress suddenly stood up, her white dress fluttering even without wind.

She took a few steps to stand in front of Ye Qing, staring intently at the boy before her.

"Human, do you know what the words 'becoming a god' mean?"

"For tens of thousands of years, no god has been born on the Douluo Continent!"

"What secrets of the gods do you know?"

Even her usually clear and mellow voice trembled uncontrollably at this moment.
