The Secret Deep Within the Sea of Consciousness!

A wave of heat spread out and hit us in the face.

The vigorous blood and energy were so strong that even the souls of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress felt a burning sensation, although the burning sensation was not severe.

The shackles were broken.

Their physical potential was explored to the fullest extent.

The solid cauldron body also melted away.

But only part of it melted.

Without destruction, there can be no construction; destruction precedes construction.

Just like the wax marks left after a candle burns, these wax marks can be liquefied again by heating them at the same temperature. Then, they can be poured into a special mold to cool and shape, becoming a completely new form. This is what the Stellar Martial Arts Sublimation looks like.

Compress everything and start over.

This allows for a higher ceiling.

"I have no doubt that he can fight to a draw with a titled Douluo in the human world with this physical body. Although this is just my estimate, whether he can actually win depends on the specific circumstances..."

Given that the main body has been melted.

Snow Empress was no longer in a hurry.

Because it's no use for her to be anxious now.

Even if Ye Qingcang gets into trouble inside, there's nothing she can do to save him.

At worst, I'll just die.

Anyway, she had already placed her bets completely.

The kind that leads to financial ruin.

It was precisely for this reason that the Snow Empress had the mind to examine Ye Qingcang's body. After speaking, she nodded slightly and added, "Such a body can save him a lot of suffering on his path to forging Godly Body... Although he must have suffered a lot to cultivate this body, this approach of enduring hardship before enjoying the rewards is actually quite good from the perspective of the outcome... Speaking of which, Bing'er, are you really determined?"

All of the above is nonsense.

Of course.

It can't be said that it's all nonsense.

It is the truth, but it is just a prelude to the truth.

The last question is what Snow Empress really wanted to ask.

The meaning of this sentence is not difficult to understand.

Are you really determined to be bound to this human being forever?

Because Ye Qingcang did say that.

It entered his Sea of Consciousness.

You'll never be free in this lifetime.

In other words, they would become Ye Qingcang's plaything.

The reason she dared to gamble was because she had no ties to anyone.

In addition, she actually has a somewhat unconventional way of thinking.

Since Ye Qingcang dared to say that, it proved that Ye Qingcang wasn't a treacherous person who would go back on his word. Just like a conman wouldn't tell you he was going to cheat you before he did, Ye Qingcang's conditions, though unacceptable, were like buying things in a store—clearly marked prices, no room for bargaining, and no risk of being shortchanged. If you accepted it, you paid and took the goods; if you didn't, you left the goods and left empty-handed. So, at most, she would only criticize Ye Qingcang's conditions as being too harsh. In fact, she liked and admired this kind of transaction, this transparent two-way selection.

So, it's fair to say she's gambling!

I bet there's a big prize in this Ye Qingcang blind box!

They were also betting that Ye Qingcang's confidence was based on something!

Since we've already bet on Ye Qingcang, betting on a 690,000-year-old Soul Ring is one thing, betting on our own soul is another. Why not bet big? If we win, we'll make a fortune!

The main strategy is to go all in.

But Ice Empress is different.

Even without considering the Sky Dream Ice Worm, there is another race under the Ice Empress.

That is, the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.

Although the number of Ice Jade Scorpion is not large.

But if we count them all from ten years ago, there are still tens of thousands.

Ice Empress will lose if they go all in.

That means we've completely lost.

Unlike now, at least she has Ye Qingcang protecting her. Even if Ye Qingcang becomes a god or steps down, he can resurrect her and give her a divine position so that she can protect her own race.

But Ice Empress's approach was rather peculiar.

Don't be fooled by how readily Ice Empress agreed.

She also had her own little scheme.

Hearing Snow Empress's question, he secretly offered a suggestion. "Speaking of which, I'd like to ask you for a favor, Xue'er. I wonder if you could grant my request..."

"You go first."

"Let me hear it."

Snow Empress gave a very cautious reply.

Then, I was astonished by Ice Empress's thought process, "Look, here's what I'm thinking... According to the usual way of entering the Sea of Consciousness, we can go in together, but Xue'er you've made up your mind to go in and take a look, Xue'er don't you give me some inside information... Of course, I'm not asking you to tell me any secrets, but rather, what you see after you go in, you can judge for yourself. If you think that it's more beneficial for me to go in and spy on these secrets than harmful, then you can come out and invite me. If you think the harmful outweighs the beneficial, then you can come out and not mention it."

"You..."

Snow Empress was speechless and choked with emotion.

Pointing at Ice Empress's little face.

I tapped it from a distance.

I thought for a long time, but I couldn't find the right words to describe my feelings.

"Oh dear... Xue'er!"

"Please help me this once, okay?"

Please!

Ice Empress, unusually, clung to Snow Empress's arm and acted coquettishly.

Snow Empress also lowered her arm.

He sighed and said with a wry smile, "Alright, alright, I'll try my best to judge..."

"Yay!"

Ice Empress clenched his little fists and waved them happily.

But soon, Ye Qingcang, who had completed the ceremony, drew her attention away.

"Call..."

Inhale like a snake.

His breath was like a dragon's.

Six Soul Ring floated irregularly around Ye Qingcang.

What's surprising is the color of these six Soul Ring.

As far as the eye can see, everything is blood red!

It was 100,000-Year Spirit Ring!

And all of them!

However, there are differences between different shades of red. The difference lies not only in the color but also in the crystalline and smooth appearance.

For example, the first 100,000-Year Spirit Ring.

As Soul Ring that was upgraded later.

Although this Soul Ring is red, its material resembles watercolor.

It at least gives people a sense of superficiality.

The second and third 100,000-Year Spirit Ring.

It gives people the feeling of cinnabar.

The color is indeed very accurate.

But it's not glossy enough.

The fourth Soul Ring truly had a lustrous feel, resembling red glass with unique textures and a unique feel. This was the highest quality pieced together by the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperor.

And the fifth Soul Ring!

That is, Ice Empress's Soul Ring!

It doesn't feel like glass at all, but like a genuine ruby. Its color, though not understated, is dazzling enough to symbolize its 390,000 years of arduous cultivation!

Of course, the lifespan of the Soul Ring will definitely be 400,000.

Because Ye Qingcang used God-Given Soul Ring to replenish it.

The rest were added to his second and third Soul Ring.

Just like this time when I absorbed the Sixth Soul Ring.

He added the remaining energy to his First Soul Ring First Soul Ring, successfully extending it to 100,000 years. This broke away from the original configuration where only the First Soul Ring was 10,000 years old and had a different color. Although Soul Ring don't come with a second Soul Skill after advancing to 100,000 years old, and 100,000-Year Spirit Ring that can come with two Soul Skill must be innate, at least the colors looked consistent now, which finally satisfied his obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

The feeling of the sixth Soul Ring was even more amazing!

If Ice Empress's Soul Ring are rubies, then Snow Empress's Soul Ring are blood jade, their deep red color exuding an ancient aura!

Moreover, it's exceptionally smooth and warm!

It doesn't look glaring.

It also doesn't easily attract the attention of others.

But just put it together with rubies.

Most people can tell that its value surpasses that of a ruby.

Of course.

Exceptions include those who have a particular fondness for gemstones.

There are always some people who have a special fondness for shiny things.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

This is a matter of personal preference.

I don't advocate it, but I should respect it.

And between these six 100,000-Year Spirit Ring were slowly pulsating and rising.

Only Ye Qingcang appeared normal.

"What terrifying control!" After observing Ye Qingcang's aura, Snow Empress couldn't help but praise him. Ice Empress nodded in agreement, but Snow Empress Ice Empress most of the talking, as she had already witnessed it once before. This was the first time for Snow Empress: "He was able to lock his Soul Power, even his blood and qi, and even his aura right after absorbing the Soul Ring... I wouldn't dare say you can unleash your full power, but you can definitely control it... Even among all the Soul Beast and Soul Master I've seen, none can do what you've done. No wonder the Gods favored you. If it were me, I would have chosen you too!"

"Well enough."

"Just basic operations... basic procedures."

"If I can't control the power."

"Then it's not me controlling the power, but the power controlling me."

"By then."

"I will become a slave to power."

"Just like two sentences that my admired great man once said."

"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun!"

"As well as..."

"The Party commands the gun, not the other way around!"

"In short, having power gave me the ability to maintain my true self, and using my true self to control power ensures my position as a commander... I must say, this statement is indeed insightful."

"This is the truth."

Ye Qingcang shook his head, not taking credit for himself.

Because he stood on the shoulders of giants.

The superpowers of time travelers are incredibly diverse.

However, the philosophy of life and insights of time travelers are almost identical, and can also help a time traveler stand at the top of the world from nothing. However, this requires the time traveler to make perfect use of experience.

Therefore, in Ye Qingcang's view, if he was not as good as the local natives in terms of thinking, it could only mean that he had wasted more than 20 years of his previous life, and even his nine years of compulsory education were a waste.

Of course, humility and politeness are only temporary.

Ye Qingcang did not elaborate.

Snow Empress didn't ask any further questions.

After exchanging a knowing glance, Snow Empress spoke first, "Speaking of which, what preparations are needed to enter your Sea of Consciousness... For example, how much space do I have to move around in and how much control do I have?"

The Sea of Consciousness is the destination of the soul.

The place where Sky Dream Ice Worm and Electrolux were located was Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness. However, in their names, it was defined as Spiritual Space, which is also a difference in the terminology between the East and the West.

Therefore, if Ye Qingcang grants Snow Empress access...

Snow Empress can freely alter Ye Qingcang's memories!

This is the most terrifying thing!

As someone who is well-versed in the ways of the soul, Ye Qingcang would naturally not make such a mistake.

Therefore, he readily admitted. "I will only grant you access to my memories, and what you will have to give up is your freedom. In other words, you will be planted in my Sea of Consciousness, your roots will be here, and you cannot escape. So it's not too late to regret it now. I have six Soul Ring here. Excluding the one where Ice Empress lives, that's equivalent to having five more houses for you to choose from... As for the size of my Sea of Consciousness, you don't need to worry. My Sea of Consciousness is comparable to Second Level God. Even if you are a million-year-old Soul Beast, or even more than one, it will be easy to fit you in... In addition, I fully respect your personal preferences, so I will grant you the ability to change your surroundings, such as creating a frozen Domain that you like in your Sea of Consciousness as your future residence."

"No problem."

"I trust you."

Snow Empress nodded without any hesitation.

It transformed into a white streak of light.

It instantly rushed towards Ye Qingcang's forehead.

Then, he plunged headlong into Ye Qingcang's Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately after looking around, he began to peruse Ye Qingcang's memories, and then fell into a long period of confusion.

As for Ice Empress, who were waiting outside...

This was going to be a very tough time.

Especially Ye Qingcang staring at her with a half-smile.

It made her very uncomfortable.

More than five minutes later.

The Snow Empress has not yet appeared.

This time, Ice Empress is really in trouble.

He looked at Ye Qingcang.

Mustering her courage, she met Ye Qingcang's gaze and boldly asked, "Xue'er... uh, I mean, is Snow Empress really alright?"

"Hmm, let me see..." Ye Qingcang closed his eyes, his consciousness descending into his Sea of Consciousness. Looking at Snow Empress, who seemed to have lost her soul and was in a daze, he couldn't help but cough lightly. While waking Snow Empress up, his consciousness returned to reality and told Ice Empress, "Snow Empress is still reading a novel over there. She definitely doesn't have time to come out and inform you. If you want to know what she's reading, I can tell you."

"Reading novels?"

"What's so interesting about it?"

"So beautiful you forgot to tell me... uh?"

Ice Empress remarked instinctively.

But they soon realized something was wrong.

He raised his head, half believing and half doubting.

She looked at Ye Qingcang as if in prayer.

It was obvious that she hoped Ye Qingcang would misspoke, or that she herself had misheard.

But the reality is that she didn't mishear.

Ye Qingcang did indeed say those words.

I also learned about her promise to Snow Empress.

"Pills, pills, pills!"

Ice Empress turned their face away in a panic, muttering frantically to themselves.

But Ye Qingcang disagreed.

Instead, he smiled and raised his hand.

He patted Ice Empress's little head.

Under the stunned gaze of Ice Empress.

She gently comforted him, "It's alright. Hesitation is normal when faced with such a costly choice, and distrust is normal too. But trust is like making friends. We may not know each other at first, but as time goes by, as we help each other, and as our mutual trust is never betrayed, our trust will eventually transcend life and death. Although someone always has to take that first step..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Snow Empress floated out in a daze.

I stared blankly at the air for a moment.

Then he tried his best to pat his face.

Perhaps he wanted to clear his head.

But I have to say, this gesture is really cute.

Then, I saw Ice Empress and Ye Qingcang.

It's just that there's something off about his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he still spoke frankly, "Bing'er, I think you should come in... In my opinion, this is our chance to transcend the Deity!"
