Background / History

Raising Tianjue in the First Simulation

Snow Empress finds the newborn Yu Tianjue abandoned in the Far North after his parents flee pursuing soul beasts. Following an internal struggle, she rescues him and brings him to the Ice and Snow Palace. The Ice Empress initially questions why she would save a human, but the two eventually raise him together 3.

Her original intention is to cultivate Tianjue into a god, providing an alternative route to immortality for herself and the Ice Empress because she believes she cannot survive her approaching heavenly tribulation. Six years of care turn that practical arrangement into a genuine family bond, leaving her reluctant to send him down the path she planned 3.

On his sixth birthday, she awakens his Ice Dragon martial soul by guiding it with her own soul power. She oversees his cultivation, delays his soul-ring acquisition, and arranges three soul-beast sacrifices when he reaches level thirty at twelve. After learning her original motive, Tianjue agrees to pursue godhood for both empresses 3.

Search for the Ice God's Inheritance

Snow Empress and the Ice Empress intensify Tianjue's training and select sacrificial soul beasts beyond ordinary soul-ring age limits. By twenty, he is a six-ringed Soul Emperor with two purple and four black rings 4.

When Tianjue leaves to seek a divine inheritance, Snow Empress conducts a separate search for the Ice God. She considers that divine position ideal for him: the Far North's soul beasts already worship the Ice God, and its successor could draw upon their faith while protecting them 4.

Both searches fail. After Tianjue proposes creating his own divine position, Snow Empress persuades a dying hundred-thousand-year soul beast to sacrifice itself to him. The resulting disturbance triggers an avalanche that exposes the Ice God's inheritance cave 4.

The Final Trial and Tianjue's Death

Snow Empress teaches Tianjue her Three Absolutes to help him complete the Ice God's trials. When the seventh trial demands Ultimate Ice, the Ice Empress sacrifices herself to supply the missing attribute. Snow Empress objects, but cannot prevent the sacrifice 5.

The ninth trial requires Tianjue to kill Snow Empress within one year or die. She accepts the prospect of death and asks only that he protect the Far North's soul beasts after attaining godhood 5.

During their final battle, Tianjue secretly transfers divine power to her and deliberately receives her Empress Palm without defending himself. Snow Empress carries him to the inheritance cave and begs the Ice God to save him, even offering her own life. He nevertheless dies in her arms 6.

Dreams and the Main-World Reunion

In the main world, Snow Empress begins having vivid, recurring dreams of raising Tianjue and losing him. The dreams continue through his burial and her later cultivation breakthroughs. Believing they may be guidance from the Ice God, she repeatedly searches the Far North's outskirts for the infant she remembers 11.

The Ice Empress instead finds six-year-old Yu Tianjue and brings him to the palace. Snow Empress recognizes his appearance and name; both empresses then detect their own auras in his Ice Crystal Necklace 12 13.

Although his martial soul and upbringing differ from those in their dreams, Snow Empress accepts him as Tianjue. She chooses to remedy the dreams' regrets rather than repeat their events, helps him obtain a thousand-year first soul ring, and allows him to return to human society 14 15.

When the Ice Empress leaves to protect him secretly, Snow Empress remains behind because the Far North still needs her 16.

Appearance

Snow Empress has an exquisitely beautiful face, a slender, well-proportioned figure, and fair, translucent skin 3.

• Hair: Pure snow-white, falling to her feet 3.
• Clothing: A simple, unadorned white dress 3.
• Eyes: Described as cold and clear 6.
• Bare feet: Visible when she approaches Tianjue during their main-world reunion 13.

Personality

Snow Empress is usually composed, but her attachment to Tianjue and the Ice Empress exposes a deeply vulnerable side. Her initially calculated rescue becomes devoted care, and she eventually hesitates to pursue immortality at the cost of Tianjue's future 3.

She is willing to accept her own death for Tianjue's godhood and the Far North's protection. His decision to die for her instead shatters that composure: she weeps, begs him not to leave, and seeks his resurrection even at the cost of her life 5 6.

In the main world, she shows greater restraint. Rather than keeping Tianjue at the palace or directing his life as in the dream, she lets him leave and grow within human society 14 15 16.

Abilities & Skills

Three Absolutes of the Snow Empress

Her three renowned techniques are Empress Palm, Empress Sword, and Empress Cold Heaven 5.

• She teaches Tianjue their rudimentary forms during the Ice God's trials 5.
• Without Ultimate Ice, Tianjue cannot unleash their true power; acquiring that attribute allows him to master them 5 6.
• A direct, undefended hit from her Empress Palm fatally wounds Tianjue even after he becomes a Titled Douluo 6.
• The Three Absolutes become a simulation reward that Tianjue obtains in the main world 6 7.

Cold and Soul-Power Control

Snow Empress can suppress dangerous cold around a vulnerable human and guide martial-soul awakening with her own soul power 3.

• The cutting wind around the newborn Tianjue disappears when she picks him up 3.
• Her soul power stimulates his dormant martial soul without harming his body 3.

Cultivation Instruction

She develops Tianjue through planned cultivation, soul-ring selection, and combat practice 3 4.

• Delays ring acquisition while he continues cultivating 3.
• Arranges sacrifices that allow him to obtain rings beyond normal absorption limits 3 4.
• Helps refine his combat instincts through sparring with the Far North's soul beasts 4.
• Recognizes that main-world Tianjue's externalized martial soul receives sacrificial soul power alongside his body 15.

Equipment / Items

• Ice Crystal Necklace — Jointly crafted with the Ice Empress and incapable of melting. Tianjue selects it as a simulation reward and keeps it as a memento; its creators' auras help connect him to their dreams 6 7 13.
• Pure-ice throne — Her seat in the Ice and Snow Palace 11 13.
• Soul-beast silk clothing — She and the Ice Empress use exceptionally tough soul-beast silk to make Tianjue's clothes during the simulation; the necklace's thread uses the same material 7.

Relationships

• Yu Tianjue — Adopted child and disciple in the first simulation. His sacrifice saves her from future heavenly tribulations; in the main world, she accepts him despite differences from the child in her dreams 3 6 14.
• Ice Empress (Bing'er) — Fellow Far North ruler and Tianjue's co-guardian. Snow Empress opposes her sacrifice and grieves her loss; they later cooperate to help main-world Tianjue 3 5 14.
• Ice Bear King Xiao Bai — Acts on her instruction to stall Yu Yuanzhen while Tianjue is at the palace 14 16.
• Titan Snow Demon King (A-Tai) — Another Far North ruler. She rejects sending him to delay Yu Yuanzhen because he might beat the human to death 3 14.
• Ice God — A deity she reveres and searches for during the simulation. She later unsuccessfully pleads for Tianjue's life and interprets her main-world dreams as possible divine guidance 4 6 11.
