Although Ice Empress misunderstood something, Yin Chen did not explain in detail the true origin of Istaroth. The truth that involves the system and that they come from outside the world is too shocking.
Making Ice Empress mistakenly believe that Istaroth is the inherited spiritual consciousness left by a fallen or sleeping God of Time is currently the simplest and most reasonable explanation.
"It seems... I really got lucky."
Ice Empress took a deep breath of breath that did not exist, and forced down the ecstasy and complexity in his heart.
She originally chose Yin Chen, which was a helpless move on the verge of death and a deal to abandon her pride.
Deep in her heart, there was not a trace of unwillingness to "take advantage of this human kid".
But now it seems that Yin Chen took advantage?
It was clearly her Ice Empress, hugging an unimaginably thick thigh of a god.
By becoming Yin Chen's Second Martial Soul, she can not only retain her own Spiritual Origin and will, but more importantly, once Yin Chen fully inherits the throne and becomes a true god, will she, as his Martial Soul, be able to follow him to ascend Divine Realm and gain the eternal life she dreams of?
After living for so many years, isn't her and Snow Empress's greatest desire to break through the limit of lifespan and gain eternal life?
Otherwise, she would not be worried about the upcoming Fourth Hundred-Thousand-Year Heavenly Tribulation, and would even put aside hundreds of thousands of years of self-esteem and trade with humans to become Martial Soul.
"I told you, you are right to choose me, right, Ice Empress?"
Yin Chen's smiling voice sounded again, and he accurately grasped the change in Ice Empress's mentality at this moment.
He knows very well the fatal attraction that eternal life has for these Ferocious Beast who have lived for countless years.
"You are right, I underestimate you too much."
Ice Empress raised her head, her pretty face showing her first bright and sincere smile after entering the spiritual space. That smile dispelled the last haze and unwillingness between her eyebrows, and was full of hope for the future.
"It's me... who took advantage of me."
She seemed to have seen that after Yin Chen became a god, not only could she gain eternal life, but Snow Empress could also regain strength with his help and even ascend together.
Taking back Extreme North? In the face of such a future, it seems to have become an insignificant goal.
The huge surprise and expectation made her instantly full of motivation.
"Let's get started!"
Ice Empress said impatiently.
As the words fell, in the reality of the outside world, Ice Empress's jasper scorpion body that had lost Spiritual Origin and looked like an ice sculpture suddenly exploded into the purest emerald green energy light spots. As if being pulled by an invisible force, it surged toward Yin Chen who was sitting cross-legged and was bearing the energy impact of Snow Lotus. It merged into his body from the pores of his body.
At this time, Yin Chen is bearing the impact of two forces at the same time.
The powerful medicinal power of Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus was rushing through his body, forcibly opening up the "position" of Second Martial Soul.
This is a kind of transformation at the level of law, which forcibly opens up a new "basic point" carrying Martial Soul Origin deep in his soul and body.
This process was like an operation on his most sensitive soul, and the pain was so deep into his bones that it was unspeakable.
Immediately afterwards, the extremely pure Ultimate Ice energy transformed by Ice Empress's physical body poured into his body like a torrent that broke a bank.
This energy is not gentle nourishment, but with Ice Jade Empress Scorpion's unique dominance and coldness, it begins to merge with the medicinal power of Snow Lotus, and points directly at the most important bone in Yin Chen's body - Torso Bone.
Ice Empress As Ferocious Beast who is nearly 400,000 years old, she sacrifices herself and can choose to condense her most essential power into a piece of Soul Bone and specify its location.
She chose Torso Bone, which has the widest coverage, the greatest improvement to Soul Master's physical fitness, and is also the most important among Soul Bone.
"Uhhhhhhh--!"
Yin Chen, who had been holding back, finally let out a suppressed roar that could not be completely suppressed.
He felt that his entire spine, ribs, sternum... all the bones belonging to the torso were being crushed inch by inch by an irresistible, extremely cold force.
That's not a metaphor, it's real, physical fragmentation.
He could clearly "hear" his own bones making an overwhelming and heart-wrenching "creaking" sound, and then turned into powder under the impact of that overbearing green energy.
After being crushed, the pure Ice Empress original energy, mixed with the huge vitality of Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, began to reshape and condense his bones according to the perfect structural blueprint of Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Torso Bone.
The new bones were no longer ordinary pale, but showed a jasper color that was as warm as jade but indestructible. There seemed to be countless tiny ice crystal runes circulating inside, exuding a terrifying extreme chill and majestic power.
Broken bone remodeling.
This kind of pain is far more than a thousand times greater than the previous widening of the meridians.
It is the transformation and sublimation of the original level of life, and it is the process of completely breaking the old body and shaping a new body.
Every second is like suffering in purgatory.
Yin Chen's body trembled violently, and veins protruded on his forehead, neck, and arms, winding like a horned dragon, looking ferocious and terrifying.
As soon as large beads of cold sweat seeped out of his pores, they were frozen into tiny ice crystals by the extreme cold emanating from his body, hanging on his skin, eyebrows, and hair, making him look like an iceman.
His lip was bitten, and the blood flowed out and instantly froze into dark red ice slag.
His teeth clenched loudly, as if they were about to break into pieces at any moment.
His body began to sway while he was sitting cross-legged, as if he might be unable to hold himself up at any time and collapse to the ground.
"Hold on, Yin Chen, we must hold on and stay awake. Once we fall into coma and the fusion is interrupted, we will all suffer backlash and all our efforts will be wasted."
In the mental space, the humanoid incarnation of Ice Empress shouted anxiously, with worry written on his face.
She devoted everything she had to sacrificing her soul and body in order to win a bright future.
If Yin Chen fails here, then she will really disappear completely without leaving even a trace.
"You underestimate him."
Compared to Ice Empress's anxiety, Istaroth, who had been sitting quietly on Starlight Stairs, still had a calm expression. Only an almost undetectable hint of approval flashed deep in his golden eyes.
"This little pain can't break his will. If he can't bear even this little pain, what qualifications does he have to touch the power to control fate and time and sit on the supreme throne?"
Her understanding and trust of Yin Chen far exceeds that of Ice Empress.
She has witnessed the deepest tenacity of his soul, which is the essence that transcends time and space barriers, endures system collapse and soul tearing and remains undestructed.
The fact is just as Istaroth expected.
