Meeting the Ice God (Please Bookmark)

"Spatial power really is convenient."

Watching Xia Liang open a spatial passage and step through it to arrive directly at the Extreme North, Tianmeng could not help but sigh in admiration.

"I can only go to places I've been before. If I haven't been there, I can't teleport there yet."

Xia Liang brushed the freshly fallen snowflakes from his shoulder as he answered. This spatial authority could only take him to places he had visited, and he also needed to place Ender Pearls there for positioning. Its range was vast, but it came with many restrictions. If an enemy learned about it, they could easily lie in wait for him.

Beside them, Ice Empress and Snow Empress were also delighted to return to the Extreme North.

Snow Empress had originally been a creature of the Extreme North. As an Ice Sky Snow Maiden, she could be considered the true daughter of the Extreme North. Now that she had returned, she felt as though even her origin had been replenished.

"Yuhao, the location."

Xia Liang spoke to Huo Yuhao. He could not sense the guidance of destiny himself and could only rely on Huo Yuhao to lead the way.

"It's roughly in that direction, but it seems difficult to find."

Standing in the snow, Huo Yuhao slightly raised his hands and closed his eyes to sense it for a moment. He could feel a vague outline ahead, like a palace shrouded in mist.

"A rough location is enough."

Xia Liang looked toward the direction Huo Yuhao indicated, then rose into the air and drew upon the power of Douluo Continent's spatial authority.

Xia Liang had been acknowledged by the consciousness of Douluo Continent. As long as he did not go overboard, he could temporarily borrow its authority.

The power of spatial authority continuously probed the surrounding space and easily found a special spatial node.

Done.

"Hm?"

Just as he confirmed the spatial node, Xia Liang felt it actively envelop them.

The next moment, Xia Liang appeared atop a vast sheet of ice. Sky and ground were seamless and identical, flawlessly white. Amid that whiteness stood a short-haired phantom, as though waiting for something.

"A deity from another world... your strength truly is formidable."

"Ice God?"

Looking at the phantom before him, Xia Liang had already formed a guess.

"Yes, I am the Ice God worshipped in the Extreme North. Unfortunately, I am already dead."

At the mention of the Ice God, the phantom before him seemed deeply helpless.

"You separated us like this. Aren't you afraid I'll flip the table?"

Xia Liang said. Flipping the table would not be a problem at all, and he could sense Huo Yuhao's location. He could go find him at any time.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to pretend. I'm afraid Your Excellency has already seen through all my methods. If you wished, you should be able to leave with your people at any moment, correct?"

The Ice God was not worried either. If Xia Liang truly wanted to make a move, he could not stop him. Even his remaining soul might be annihilated.

"Who knows what kind of god you are."

"I died long ago. Everything I do has nothing to do with the current Divine Realm, nor will it interfere with the path of the current Child of Destiny."

The Ice God spoke, then looked toward the sky.

After his death, he had taken Ice God's Palace away from the Divine Realm with his remaining soul and returned to Douluo Continent.

At this moment, within Ice God's Palace, the succession of a deity was quietly beginning.

Xia Liang naturally noticed it as well, but he had not expected this item.

"I thought you would give it to the Child of Destiny."

"He deserves something better."

The Ice God answered. Huo Yuhao's destiny was even stronger than his own; he deserved a better divine position.

"The Child of Destiny has caught the attention of a God King. You should know that already, right?"

The Ice God spoke. He wanted to see how this deity from another world would react upon learning this.

"A God King? Is he strong?"

Xia Liang looked at the Ice God, entirely unconcerned. The Ice God's strength in life had likely been that of a first-class god.

However, Xia Liang did not actually know just how strong a God King was.

Still, he could sense several powerful beings within the Divine Realm.

They should be the Divine Realm's several great God Kings. In Xia Liang's view, they were very strong, but...

Even combined, the several great God Kings might not be enough to fight Xia Liang's true body.

When he realized this, Xia Liang had been somewhat puzzled. Several great God Kings should not be this weak, should they?

"Do not underestimate them. Since the Creator God King opened the world, they have been the strongest beings in the world. Perhaps you do not yet understand the power of gods in our world."

The Ice God said. He felt that Xia Liang, having only arrived recently, did not understand the Divine Realm's strength.

"Mm... how about you take a look at my strength?"

Xia Liang thought about it. Now was the perfect time to learn just how strong he was.

He stretched out a hand and gently created a portal in his palm. On the other side was a portion of Xia Liang's true body. Any more than that, and Douluo Continent would trigger an alarm.

"Alright."

The Ice God nodded. He also wanted to see just how powerful this expert from another world truly was.

He gently placed his hand into the portal. In the next instant, the Ice God felt himself being oppressed by several worlds at once, directly facing the crushing force of countless laws and authorities.

This was not a god at all—

The portal vanished. Looking at his trembling arm, the Ice God realized he could not remember how many years it had been since he had last been this shocked.

"How was it?"

Xia Liang asked curiously. He truly was curious about how strong he was.

"You do not belong among gods. If I had to describe what kind of existence you are, you would be equivalent to the master of a world."

The Ice God pondered for a moment before finally answering. Xia Liang's realm had already surpassed anything he could imagine.

Seeing Xia Liang's current strength, he had thought the other party's peak strength was merely that of a first-class god. He had never expected such a level.

Was the Divine Realm about to be finished?

Forget it. What did the fate of the Divine Realm have to do with a dead man like him? He only wondered whether the Snow Maiden could properly inherit the Ice God's divine position.

"It's about to end."

Xia Liang could sense that the Ice God's succession ceremony was about to conclude, but...

"A soul beast becoming a god?"

"Didn't she die? After being resurrected, she broke free from being a soul beast and became a divine spirit body. Inheriting the Ice God's divine position with a divine spirit body is also within the rules. After all, minor gods like us do not possess your kind of great power."

The Ice God answered. In his original plan, he had intended for Snow Empress to become the Child of Destiny's soul ring, then enter the Divine Realm and become a god with the Child of Destiny's help.

But plans could not keep up with changes. Xia Liang's appearance made the Ice God alter his original plan.

This new plan also could not keep up with the change in Xia Liang's strength.

After learning of Xia Liang's existence, the Ice God had originally planned to let Snow Empress become the Ice God and inherit his divine position. In that case, Snow Empress would inevitably become a first-class god in the future, while Xia Liang would be at least a first-class god as well.

With the help of two gods, it would not be difficult for the Child of Destiny to become a first-class god in the future. Under his plan, the three gods would form friendly ties.

The Divine Realm would not ignore three first-class gods allied with one another. That way, the Ice Sky Snow Maiden could become a deity and ascend to the Divine Realm normally.

But now that Xia Liang's strength had changed once more, the Ice God felt he could let go and let nature take its course. His only fear now was that the Divine Realm would provoke Xia Liang, ultimately leaving the Ice Sky Snow Maiden with no Divine Realm to ascend to.

Xia Liang: "Aren't you afraid Snow Maiden will encounter problems in the Divine Realm because of her soul beast identity?"

"It's fine."

The Ice God shook his head. The Ice Sky Snow Maiden's identity as a soul beast?

In truth, the Divine Realm did not care about soul beasts becoming gods. Most gods did not care about such things. They merely feared another brainless Dragon God appearing.

Even the rule forbidding soul beasts from becoming gods had not been created by the Divine Realm. It had been made by the Dragon God himself.

Who knew what that lord of soul beasts had been thinking.

"Since it has succeeded, I need not persist any longer. I hope Senior will take good care of Snow Maiden in the future. I shall take my leave."

"Alright. If there is a chance in the future, I'll revive you."

"Hahaha, then I'll thank you in advance."
