Future Ice God—Snow Empress

Snow Empress had originally intended to let go, but remembering what the Titan General had said, she held on tightly.

After absorbing one-third of her origin power, the Ice Spirit Sword transformed into a streak of light and flew into her glabella.

Then, the origin power that had been absorbed returned to her!

The lotus formed from heaven and earth energy also turned into a stream of pure power and poured into her dantian.

Qian Yufeng was stunned. That lotus had actually been formed from pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If he absorbed it, could he break through to Rank 95?

But it was only a passing thought. With so much Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, reaching Rank 95 should not be difficult.

Besides, he still had the system.

Snow Empress felt her cultivation rising wildly. The seventy-thousand-year threshold, which would originally take ten thousand years to reach, might arrive in less than ten years with this power flowing into her.

The snow lotus completely vanished, and Snow Empress looked at the wall before her.

She extended her right hand. The instant she touched the wall, a door appeared once more.

Then she felt something inside the door strongly drawing her in.

Qian Yufeng also sensed an energy beyond even Soul Power behind the newly appeared door.

Snow Empress opened the door and slowly walked inside.

Qian Yufeng and Ice Empress followed her again.

This time, they entered an Ice Crystal Palace.

It was immensely spacious, with a humanoid statue standing at its center.

Qian Yufeng looked at the statue. It bore some resemblance to the Six-Winged Angel statue worshipped by the Qian Family.

So this is the Ice God statue!

Bang!

The door behind them suddenly shut. Blue light flashed from the Ice God statue, and the phantom of a white-haired man appeared.

"After tens of thousands of years, the Ice God's Inheritance has finally reappeared in this world."

"Are you the inheritor who passed the trials?!"

The white-haired man looked at Snow Empress, then revealed a trace of surprise.

"A life formed from the spiritual energy of this frigid land? It seems you truly are fated with my Ice God's Inheritance!"

"Little girl, you and I can be considered kin. I hope this divine power can help you overcome your ordeal!"

Before Snow Empress could speak, intense white light erupted from the white-haired man's body, and an ice lotus flew out from the Ice God statue.

"Little girl, this is the Ice God's Divine Source. Once you refine it completely, you will become the next Ice God!"

"The Ice Spirit Sword was merely my ordinary sidearm. The Ice God Staff and Divine Equipment will naturally appear once you complete the progress of inheriting the Divine Position!"

With that, the Ice Lotus flew into Snow Empress's glabella. After leaving behind a lotus mark, the white-haired man vanished.

Snow Empress stood there in a daze for a long while before slowly coming back to her senses.

Feeling the brand-new power within her body, she let out a soft sigh.

From this day onward, Snow Empress was the Ice God's inheritor.

The Ice God would be her from this moment onward.

Qian Yufeng's system mission was to assist Snow Empress in attaining the Ice God Divine Position. Snow Empress had only obtained the Deity's inheritance and had not truly become a god yet, so his mission naturally had not been settled.

"Snow Empress is highly compatible with the Ice God Divine Position. I just wonder how many years it will take for her to successfully advance to God Rank."

To be honest, the method of crafting Battle Armor would be utterly overwhelming in this era!

He truly coveted it!

If the Deacons of Spirit Hall could equip Battle Armor, many needless casualties could be avoided during operations to eradicate Fallen Spirit Masters.

But his Great Grandson, Qian Xunji, was extremely ambitious, and that was also a troublesome problem.

The great trend of this era was to dissolve Spirit Hall and let the continent once again descend into a chaotic age of fragmented powers.

The gods of the upper realm had chosen Tang San as their executor, which gave Qian Yufeng a terrible headache.

Ice Empress did not notice anything unusual about him. Instead, she was happy for Snow Empress.

Having obtained the Ice God's Inheritance, Snow Empress no longer needed to worry about her seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation.

Snow Empress turned around, walked to Qian Yufeng's side, and gave him a bow of thanks.

"Mr. Qian, thank you for your help. It was only because of you that I found the Ice God's Inheritance."

Qian Yufeng smiled. "We can be considered friends. Though such a relationship may not be accepted by the outside world, friends should help one another."

"I may need the Far North's help in the future. When that time comes, I hope you will not find this old man troublesome."

Snow Empress shook her head. "Certainly not. If you need help, I will surely assist you with all my strength."

Ice Empress also chimed in, "Human, if you need help, just call for me anytime. I have plenty of time!"

Afterward, they left the Ice God's ruins.

Once outside, Snow Empress felt the danger hanging over her head weaken considerably.

Obtaining the Ice God's Inheritance really could help her overcome the crisis of the Heavenly Tribulation.

She could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, her gratitude toward Qian Yufeng had not diminished in the slightest.

"Ice Empress, Snow Empress, the matter of the Ice God has been resolved. It is time for me to leave as well."

"This old body of mine cannot endure the Far North's weather."

Qian Yufeng also bid them farewell. Although a Title Douluo could travel quickly, the cold wind still blew against him on the journey, so it was better to leave sooner.

Snow Empress did not try to keep him. The Far North was not suitable for humans to remain in for long.

"Mr. Qian, you possess a tolerance that ordinary people cannot hope to match. I am fortunate to have met a friend like you."

"When we meet again, I hope you will already be among humanity's strongest experts."

Qian Yufeng smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

Before long, his figure disappeared into the boundless snow.

After he left, Ice Empress asked in confusion, "Sister, why did this human choose to help you? Was it really only because of this so-called friendship?"

Snow Empress looked at her and said, "Bing'er, I could not understand Mr. Qian when he was young, and even now I still cannot understand him. But from his eyes, I can see that from beginning to end, he has always spoken with us as though we stood on the same side."

"He is unlike other humans. He does not draw such a clear line between humans and soul beasts!"

"I also investigated his identity. He is a senior figure in the largest spirit master organization in the human world. By all reason, he should hate soul beasts the most, especially rare soul beasts like us with more than a hundred thousand years of cultivation."

That final sentence immediately shocked Ice Empress.

"He is close to us? That does not fit the principles by which human spirit masters act!"

"What a strange human!"

That was the only evaluation she could offer.

"Yes, he is a strange human. I am very curious what world-shaking things he will do."

Snow Empress rarely smiled. Qian Yufeng had indeed left a deep impression on her.

At that moment, Qian Yufeng was swiftly crossing the Far North. He truly did not want to come to such a cold place too often.

Suddenly, a sharp pain tore through his chest. His Soul Power went out of control, and he fell straight from midair.

Fortunately, his Martial Soul automatically protected its master, so he was not injured.

"Pfft!" As he prepared to stand, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Qian Yufeng could not help clutching his chest. "What is this..."

The only other time he had felt such intense heartache was when his mother died. He had been away carrying out a mission when he was suddenly struck by the same severe pain in his heart.

Only later had he learned that his mother had been critically ill, clinging to her final breath while calling his name.

"Those nearing the end of their lives pass their feelings on to those they miss most deeply."

"Most of the old friends I knew have already passed away, but who have I forgotten?"

Qian Yufeng always felt that he had overlooked something. After adjusting himself, he continued toward the small town where they had agreed to meet.
