Douluo Continent Dungeon Plan!

"Ah, plans never keep up with changes."

As the Snow Empress was accepting the divine position, she suddenly heard a voice behind her. Turning around, she saw an azure figure appear behind her.

"I am the guardian of the divine position. I came to tell you a few things."

"First, the divine position has shattered into ten fragments. You need to search for them in the Extreme North. Once you gather them all, you can truly become a god."

"Second, there is no need to absorb the power of faith. It does not belong to you, and forcibly absorbing it may cause problems."

"Third, though you have become a god, your old body remains. Whether it lives or dies is for you to handle."

"I shall heed the divine oracle..."

The Snow Empress bowed in thanks.

"May I ask, the Ice God..."

The Snow Empress spoke up. She truly wanted to meet the Ice God, the faith of the Extreme North.

The blue figure: "..."

After looking at the bowing Snow Empress, the figure sighed.

"The Ice God is dead. Do not grieve. Inherit the divine position well and live well, so she may have no regrets."

"Yes."

Upon learning that the Ice God had truly fallen, the Snow Empress felt a wave of sorrow in her heart.

"Alright, familiarize yourself with your power here. As for the others, do not worry. They each have their own opportunities."

That was right. Huo Yuhao also had his own opportunity. After all, he was the child of destiny.

At that moment, in a side hall of the Ice God's Palace...

"External soul bone, Ice Crown."

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged at the center of the side hall, a completely silver-white crown floating above his head.

The crown had an ancient design, its edges carved with intricate ice-and-snow patterns. Every pattern slowly circulated with a faint glow, like a crown woven from ice crystals frozen for ten thousand years.

This was Huo Yuhao's opportunity.

Xia Liang came to Huo Yuhao's side and immediately saw the crown floating above his head.

Ice Crown.

This crown was an external soul bone. Not only could the Ice Crown increase spiritual power, it also contained two top-tier soul skills and one divine skill.

The two soul skills: Sigh of Ice, Sigh of Snow.

Divine skill: Breath of Ice and Snow.

Sigh of Ice dealt physical damage, Sigh of Snow dealt spiritual damage, and Breath of Ice and Snow ignored defenses and directly froze anyone below god level.

So, from a certain perspective, Huo Yuhao now had the possibility of killing an Ultimate Douluo, provided he was not instantly killed by one first.

"Where is the Snow Empress? Where did she go?"

Deep within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the Ice Empress was worried about the missing Snow Empress. They had clearly entered together, so why had the Snow Empress disappeared?

"Bingbing, don't worry. The guardian said that the Snow Empress has her own opportunity. Right, Old Yi? Come help me reassure Bingbing. Seriously, Xia Liang has no idea where he ran off to."

Tianmeng comforted the Ice Empress from the side. The two Ice Empresses had a close relationship, so it was understandable that the Ice Empress was so worried about the Snow Empress.

Tianmeng did not know where Xia Liang had gone either. If Xia Liang had not sent him a voice transmission saying he was fine, Tianmeng would have already planned to use his origin power to go out and look for him.

"Everyone has their own opportunities. There is no need to worry."

Electrolux was not worried. With Xia Liang here, this place could not stop him at all. If it could stop him, then there would be even less reason to worry. If even Xia Liang was trapped, what could the rest of them do?

"Come on, that's not how you're supposed to reassure her."

Tianmeng was speechless at Electrolux's words. Had he asked Electrolux to reassure her like that? Would it hurt to say a little more?

"Stop arguing. The Snow Empress's opportunity will take some time. Rest assured, she is fine. It is even a good thing."

Only after hearing Xia Liang's voice did the Ice Empress truly relax.

"About when can we see the Snow Empress?"

"Three days."

Xia Liang gave an approximate time, then sensed a gaze passing through from the main hall of the Ice God's Palace.

"I have something to do."

The moment he finished speaking, Xia Liang vanished from where he stood.

At that moment, the Snow Empress, seated upon the throne in the main hall of the Ice God's Palace, saw Xia Liang appear and condensed a snowflake in her hand.

"This is the power of faith from the Extreme North. I have no use for it, so I'll give it to you."

Following the divine oracle, the Snow Empress had no intention of using this power of faith.

"I have no use for it either, but I can study it."

Xia Liang accepted the snowflake. The power of faith was indeed an entirely new kind of power, but Xia Liang was not particularly interested in it.

"May I have it?"

A voice suddenly came from the sky. The Snow Empress looked up and, through the knowledge of inheriting the divine position, easily recognized the owner of the voice.

"The world will of Douluo Continent? What do you need the power of faith for?"

Xia Liang naturally recognized the identity behind the voice as well. But what did a world will need this thing for? It could not eat it.

"The power of faith... world origin... can restore..."

"You mean that the power of faith itself is formed from the power of world origin and can restore your current condition?"

Having inherited the knowledge of the God Realm, the Snow Empress quickly understood what the world will meant.

"Yes..."

The world will answered. What the Snow Empress had said was exactly what it wanted to express.

"According to the memories of the Ice God's inheritance, the origin of Douluo Continent is about to begin evolving. It should have completed its evolution within this thousand-year period and become capable of supporting combat power below that of a third-level god. However, a certain God King intervened and suppressed it, making the evolution uncertain."

The Snow Empress explained that Douluo Continent had originally been a world on the verge of evolution. After evolving, Douluo Continent would have been able to break through the limit of Rank 99 and support the birth of combat power at the level of a third-level god at most.

However, because of a certain God King, this evolution had been directly delayed. Fortunately, Xia Liang had freed the world will, allowing the world's evolution to continue. And the energy it needed was the power of faith.

"I'll give you the power of faith. What do I get in return?"

Hearing this, the world will fell silent for a while before condensing a sphere of light.

"What is this?"

Xia Liang took the sphere of light into his hand, and an authority over space attached itself to him.

This authority over space could sustain the spatial gates Xia Liang opened even when he was not present.

"Hm?"

Xia Liang froze for a moment, then thought of the Twilight Portal in his hand. Wasn't this... a dungeon?

That was right, a dungeon. Xia Liang could place Twilight Portals almost anywhere on Douluo Continent. That meant...

He had laborers now!

Xia Liang could place Twilight Portals and let the people of Douluo Continent enter to help him hunt bosses. Then, through the backend, he could retrieve the bosses' drops. This way, he could directly reclaim the power of authorities.

This seemed quite promising.

Xia Liang thought about it. Compared to hunting bosses himself, this would be much more efficient. He could even harvest the power of faith, perhaps? Should he have the Spirit Pagoda appear ahead of schedule?

Using the identity of the Spirit Pagoda to spread Twilight Forest's world coverage would allow him to harvest the power of faith while obtaining boss items, to a certain extent.

No matter how he looked at it, it was profitable. Besides, Xia Liang's combat strength was already extraordinarily high by Douluo Continent's standards.

"Then we'll do it this way."

Xia Liang made his decision. The early Spirit Pagoda plan was officially underway!

Four days later...

The Snow Empress became the Ice God's inheritor? This external soul bone I absorbed is a god-level soul bone?

Huo Yuhao only felt that his brain was no longer capable of processing information. How could so much happen all at once?

"Are humans really this bad at understanding things?"

An unfamiliar voice came from beside him. Huo Yuhao looked up.

A small... girl stood not far away with an impatient expression. Barefoot, she was less than one meter forty tall and looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. She had white hair and white eyes, the ends of her snow-white hair falling exactly to her waist, while a loose white robe draped over her body.

Behind the little girl, the Ice Empress was gently brushing her hair. Huo Yuhao felt that the Ice Empress was being far too gentle at the moment.

"You are?"

Huo Yuhao felt that the little girl before him resembled a shrunken Snow Empress, but that could not be right, could it? Hadn't the Snow Empress inherited a divine position?

"She is the Snow Empress. More precisely, she is the Snow Empress's soul beast body. After the Snow Empress inherited the divine position, her soul beast body separated from her. However, they still share the same soul, so just treat her as the Snow Empress."

Xia Liang explained that because of the unique nature of soul beasts, the method the Ice God had given the Snow Empress to become a god required her to avoid using her soul beast body. Thus, her soul beast body had been separated out. However, since the two were still one, their soul had not split apart. Once the Snow Empress became a god, everything would be fine.

Of course, even if the soul beast body died, it would not affect the Snow Empress. At most, her soul would suffer some shock, and her true body would completely detach from the soul beast form. That could even be considered a benefit, though in the end, it would still depend on what the Snow Empress wanted.

"The Snow Empress wants to use this body to visit the human world. Sign a contract with her later, and she will be able to enter your spiritual sea."

"The Snow Empress's current appearance should be the result of a problem when she transformed into a human. Her cultivation should currently be around the four-ring level."

Xia Liang explained. In truth, the Snow Empress was still very unaccustomed to her current appearance, but she felt it was best to let nature take its course and saw no need to change it.

As for the Ice Empress, she seemed to be quite fond of it. In just this short while, no one knew how many times she had changed the Snow Empress's hairstyle.

"Will there be any problem if the Snow Empress goes out like this?"

Huo Yuhao asked worriedly. After all, the Snow Empress was a soul beast. It would be troublesome if she encountered a Titled Douluo outside.

"There is no need to worry. This body of the Snow Empress is very weak, but her true body is god-level."

As long as the Snow Empress wished it, she could descend into this body at any time, with strength only below that of a god.

"I see."

After Huo Yuhao understood the Snow Empress's current situation, Electrolux beside him also finished drawing the contract formation.

"What kind of contract is this?"

"It is a Spirit Descent Contract modified by Electrolux based on the Soul Spirit Contract. After you and the Snow Empress sign it, she will be able to use your power. At the same time, the Snow Empress's true body can descend through you."

The most important part was the first one. With Xia Liang and the others present, the second function was completely unnecessary.

With the first function, the Snow Empress could borrow Huo Yuhao's power here to communicate with Electrolux and establish Soul Spirit Contracts.

That was right, Soul Spirit Contracts. Xia Liang had brought the Snow Empress into the Spirit Pagoda and made her the Pagoda Master of the Extreme North Spirit Pagoda.

The Snow Empress could also borrow Xia Liang's power to place Twilight Portals here. After all, when they were placed on Douluo Continent, the number of Twilight Forest bosses was limited and needed to respawn.
