My Sincerity

Huo Yuhao raised a hand and stroked Little White's nose. "Be good. I'll grill fish for you from now on."

"Really?!" Little White's bear eyes widened with excitement. He had been craving the delicacies from his memories terribly. Although his grandfather's cooking had improved even further after becoming a god, grilled fish was still the best.

"Of course. I never lie." Huo Yuhao nodded, then turned to the two women who had remained silent.

"Snow Empress, Ice Empress, it's a pleasure to meet you." Huo Yuhao smiled, revealing the first heartfelt smile he had worn since returning to twenty thousand years ago.

"Human, what exactly is going on?" Snow Empress looked at the twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy before her, her face frosty. His aura was gentle, and she could even almost sense a kind of closeness at the level of their origins. Everything about him seemed to speak of familiarity, but it was too strange—so strange that Snow Empress instinctively rejected the feeling.

Seeing Snow Empress's wariness, Huo Yuhao felt a dull ache in his heart. Fortunately, he had long prepared himself for such a situation. With a single deep breath, he steadied himself.

"As you can see, Er Bai is also Little White. They possess the same soul imprint. Once they are close enough, they share their minds and memories. As for how Er Bai came to be, you can have Little White tell you slowly. He knows nearly everything about me, you, and Ice Empress."

Huo Yuhao pointed at the two nearly identical bear heads and smiled.

"I'll believe you for now. But if I find out you dare deceive me, you won't want to know the consequences." Snow Empress spoke coldly. The boy's appearance and Little White's behavior earlier had been far too bizarre for her to completely let down her guard.

"Mm. This time, I came with sincerity." As Huo Yuhao spoke, he took out a Storage Soul Tool ring.

With a thought, a set of deep-blue armor, crystalline and brimming with life energy, appeared in midair.

The instant the armor appeared, the surrounding temperature plummeted once more. This was already the core of the Far North, guarded by Snow Empress and Ice Empress, two Ultimate Ice soul beasts. Under normal circumstances, the temperature here could hardly fall any lower.

"Ice Extreme War God Armor!"

"Ice Extreme Divine Crystal!" *2

The moment Little White saw the armor Huo Yuhao had revealed, he shouted excitedly. Back then, with the Ice Extreme War God Armor's enhancement, his grandfather had been practically invincible in the world!

But Snow Empress and Ice Empress saw far more. This armor had been forged entirely from Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, and not just any Ice Extreme Divine Crystal—it was the most precious kind, the kind containing ice spirits. Its value was simply immeasurable. More importantly, Ice Extreme Divine Crystals of such quality could only be born near a Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave, and that cave was sure to contain a large amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow!

"That's right. This armor was forged from Ice Extreme Divine Crystal that grew alongside Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow."

"With Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, Ice Empress can safely survive her four-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation, while Snow Empress can heal her previous injuries and safely face her seven-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation." Huo Yuhao spoke with certainty. Ice Empress and Snow Empress had told him all of this in his previous life.

"The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave there still has quite a substantial reserve of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. There should be over twenty stalks, which ought to be enough." Huo Yuhao thought for a moment before speaking. The memories were too distant, and he could not recall the exact amount at once.

"Tell me the location. Whatever you want, name it." Ice Empress stopped Snow Empress before she could speak and addressed Huo Yuhao. Snow Empress had been injured and failed to survive her seven-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation entirely because she had helped Ice Empress endure hers. If someone had to pay a price, Ice Empress wanted it to be herself.

"No! Since you obtained Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, that means you also possess Ultimate Ice. Why didn't you absorb it yourself?" Because of that closeness she sensed at their origins, Snow Empress was even more wary of Huo Yuhao and considered the matter far more rationally.

Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow was also an incredibly rare heavenly treasure for ice-attribute soul masters. Why would this person not keep it for himself, instead offering it to two soul beasts who stood opposed to humanity?

"There's no rush. I said I came with sincerity. I once possessed Ultimate Ice, but I no longer do. You can ask Little White about the details."

"Furthermore, once your injuries have healed, Little White can tell you the method for condensing Yin-Yang Dual Soul Cores. When I broke through to Titled Douluo and Limit Douluo, I condensed my second and third Soul Cores respectively. Both were formed through the Yin-Yang Dual Soul Core method. Little White participated in both condensation processes, so he should be able to give you some insight." Huo Yuhao spoke frankly, and anyone could hear the sincerity in his words.

"State your conditions." Snow Empress once again held Ice Empress back, stopping her behind herself. The method of condensing Yin-Yang Dual Soul Cores was no longer something Ice Empress could offer in return. Whether this person spoke truth or lies, Snow Empress had attempted to condense Yin-Yang Dual Soul Cores herself and had experience. She would know after trying.

"I want to meet Sea Princess Eve." Huo Yuhao stated the purpose of his journey. He needed spiritual power—an enormous amount of spiritual power.

And there were only a few ways to obtain a massive amount of spiritual power in a short time.

The first was Brother Sky Dream, who was still in the Star Dou Great Forest. Without sufficient strength or the help of powerful comrades such as Snow Empress, it was simply impossible. Besides, Brother Sky Dream's million-year Soul Power and heaven-and-earth origin energy had yet to be completely absorbed. Di Tian and the others would never let him go easily.

Unless Snow Empress truly condensed Yin-Yang Dual Soul Cores, then donned the Ice Extreme War God Armor and seized him by force. But then the enemy she faced might very well change from Di Tian to the Silver Dragon King. He did not want Snow Empress to encounter any more danger.

The second was the Icefire Yin Yang Well. Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew had miraculous effects on spiritual power, but its effects were far inferior to Brother Sky Dream's. The other herbs would require refining into pills, which also meant making a pill furnace. It would be better to go later. As for the things within, they were not something that could be obtained through ordinary methods.

And the last was to trade directly. The golden pearls formed from Sea Princess's tears were the purest spiritual power. Once absorbed, they could be used directly, freeing up all those methods that required vast amounts of spiritual power.

"You want to meet Sea Princess? You gave us so much information, and your only request is to meet Sea Princess?" Snow Empress found it difficult to believe.

"No. In fact, I haven't given anything yet." Huo Yuhao put the Ice Extreme War God Armor back into the Storage Soul Tool ring, then held the ring as he walked toward Snow Empress.

Snow Empress involuntarily took a step back, but Ice Empress stood behind her, leaving her no room to retreat farther.

Huo Yuhao gently took her hand. The frigid temperature instantly froze his fingertips black, but they quickly returned to normal under the effects of Spirit Life Gold.

An utterly ordinary Storage Soul Tool ring fell into her palm.
