Faced with Ice Empress's unabashed indifference, Zhang Lexuan was not surprised.
The other party is one of the beings who stands at the pinnacle of Soul Beast. It is rare to be able to maintain basic communication with a human Soul Master like himself. It is strange to have a friendly attitude.
However, the conditions put forward by Ice Empress itself set off a storm in her heart.
Second Martial Soul, and super Ferocious Beast like Ice Jade Empress Scorpion is used as Martial Soul.
Ice Jade Scorpion Clan is the king of Extreme North. He is born to control Ultimate Ice and is one of the top bloodlines among the ice attribute Soul Beast.
And Ice Jade Empress Scorpion is the emperor among them, the ultimate among Ultimate Ice. There is no doubt about its potential and power.
Once Yin Chen succeeds, he will have both the mysterious Archon of Time Martial Soul who controls time, and the overbearing Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Martial Soul who controls Ultimate Ice.
Twin Martial Souls and Soul Master are rare, but each of them has the potential to become a top powerhouse.
Yin Chen's First Martial Soul has already shown terrifying abilities at the rule level. If a top-level Power Attack System Ultimate Ice Martial Soul...Zhang Lexuan is added, it is almost unimaginable how far Yin Chen will grow in the future.
That is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two, but a qualitative leap.
Although he was shocked in his heart and even vaguely hoped that Yin Chen could seize this great opportunity, Zhang Lexuan knew what to do.
This is Yin Chen's own decision. As a senior, she can care, but she must not overstep her authority.
She closed her eyes silently, ran Soul Power with all her strength, and cooperated with the effect of the medicine to repair her injuries, and no longer participated in the following conversation.
On the other side, after listening to Ice Empress's conditions, Yin Chen gently rubbed his chin with his fingers, looking thoughtful.
"The conditions are indeed very attractive."
He said frankly, his golden eyes shining with rational light.
"But since it is a transaction, what matters is fairness. I have received such huge benefits, so what price do I need to pay?"
He knew in his heart that it would not be a wise move to directly snatch Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus or even try to forcibly swallow the origin of Ice Empress.
Not to mention that the consequences of Ice Empress's deathbed counterattack are unpredictable. Based on his current cultivation level of Soul Ancestor, trying to forcibly accommodate the huge origin of a 390,000-year-old super Ferocious Beast is tantamount to wishful thinking. The most likely possibility is that he will explode and die.
Only with the willing cooperation of Ice Empress can this risk be minimized and the benefits maximized.
Ice Empress saw Yin Chen enter the main topic, his spirit perked up slightly, and he said despite the increasingly heavy feeling of weakness:
"The transaction is very simple. I voluntarily give up resistance, guide my origin and Snow Lotus power, and become your Second Martial Soul. From then on, we will both prosper and lose. What you need to do is to help me save someone, and, after you have enough power, avenge me."
Her conditions were straightforward and pure, without any complicated terms attached, because she knew that she had no more bargaining capital or time.
"Rescuing people and taking revenge, okay, I agree."
Yin Chen barely hesitated and nodded sharply.
His cheerful attitude made Ice Empress stunned.
She originally thought that the other party would at least ask who he wanted to save and who his enemy was, and might even use this to lower the conditions.
"You... don't you ask, who is the person you want to save? Who is my enemy?"
Ice Empress couldn't help but ask, his eyes full of confusion.
Yin Chen looked at her with an indifferent but sincere smile on his face and said:
"Why bother asking? As you said, once you become my Second Martial Soul, we will be a community connected by destiny. Helping you save people and avenge people is what I am destined to face and bear in the future. When we truly fight side by side and understand each other in the future, even if there is no today's transaction, as a partner, will I stand by and watch?"
His words were taken for granted, as if this was a matter of course.
He was not making an empty promise, but was stating a logic that he recognized in his heart - since you have become one of my own, your business is naturally my business.
These words, like a warm current, instantly impacted Ice Empress's heart that had been Ice Seal for hundreds of thousands of years.
She stared blankly at Yin Chen, looking at his clear and firm golden eyes, with mixed feelings in her heart.
It took a long time for her to recover from the shock, and a very slight but real smile slowly bloomed on her originally cold face.
This smile dispelled part of the dead air between her eyebrows, making her look a little more lively.
"It seems... my luck is not extremely bad."
She said softly, with a sense of relief in her tone.
"I didn't choose the wrong person."
"Of course."
Yin Chen smiled confidently, with just the right amount of arrogance in his tone.
"You are right to choose me. After all, it is difficult for you to meet another person as good and reasonable as me."
What he said was half a joke and half serious.
Although Ice Empress's current tragic situation can be traced back to the chaos of Nirvana Corpse brought about by "True Blood of Myriad Karmas", and the source of all this is him.
But Yin Chen doesn't feel much guilt in his heart. Wangsheng Hall attacked Far North because it was their own decision. Naturally, he will not take this responsibility on himself.
At this moment, he is more in a relaxed way to further consolidate the newly established and fragile trust relationship and increase Ice Empress's favorability to ensure the smooth progress of the subsequent integration.
Ice Empress didn't care about the narcissism in his words, or in other words, she was more willing to believe in the confidence and responsibility behind this narcissism.
She took a deep breath, even though this movement felt extremely difficult for her.
"Then... without further ado."
Her eyes became determined, and she slowly lifted up the Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus with both hands and handed it to Yin Chen.
"The fusion process will be very painful. My origin will impact your body and soul. You must hold on. Once it fails, we... will all be shattered."
Yin Chen stopped smiling and his expression became serious.
He took the Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus that exuded a soft halo and majestic breath of life, and glanced at the ice blue Snow Core deep in the petals inadvertently.
He naturally knew that this seemingly inconspicuous Snow Core was the only remaining Spiritual Origin of Snow Empress, the last Core Flame of Soul Beast who was nearly 700,000 years old.
But at this moment, Snow Empress fell into a deep sleep due to self-destruction and severe injuries. His breath was restrained to the extreme, and he didn't know when he would wake up.
But his "personality" at the moment should not know the truth about Snow Core.
So he raised his head and looked at Ice Empress with just the right amount of confusion, as if asking what Snow Core was.
Ice Empress saw his doubts and said in a weak voice:
"You put her away, and after we complete the fusion, I will tell you everything..."
