Plotting Against Gu Yuena, Smitten Ice Empress

Huo Yuhao could roughly guess that if things were as he thought, and the Ice and Snow Empresses could also see the contents of his Diary, then perhaps he would not need to do anything at all. Like Gu Yuena and Di Qiu'er, the Ice and Snow Empresses would find a way to leave the Far North and come to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy to find him.

After all, the Ice Empress was nearing her four-hundred-thousand-year limit, while the Snow Empress was about to face her seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation.

And according to Huo Yuhao's memories, without help, it was impossible for them to survive those tribulations.

Only two choices lay before them now. One was to be reduced to ashes beneath the lightning tribulation. The other was to become the Soul Spirits of a Child of Destiny dedicated to changing the way humans and Soul Beasts coexisted. Was there even a choice to make?

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly and murmured.

"No, I still can't be blindly confident. Who can guarantee that the Snow Empress and Ice Empress will willingly become my Soul Spirits just because I'm a Child of Destiny? What if they decide to do everything they can to keep me in the Far North and use that to obtain the Diary's rewards?"

"Before such enormous benefits, I can't guarantee that the Snow Empress and Ice Empress will remain rational. Especially for the two of them, the Soul Beasts of the Far North are what they truly want to protect. It's hard to say whether my idea of changing the way humans and Soul Beasts coexist would actually appeal to them."

"So, if I want the trip to the Far North to be safer, I need at least some power on my side that can threaten the Snow Empress and Ice Empress. Even if they really want to forcefully keep me in the Far North, they would ultimately have no choice but to give up. Looking at it this way, among the people I know, only Gu Yuena meets that requirement."

At that thought, Huo Yuhao's gaze flickered.

He knew very well that the reason Gu Yuena had not tied him up and taken him to the Star Dou Great Forest was definitely not because she did not want to. It was merely because, as the Soul Beast Co-Lord, Gu Yuena had more matters to consider.

Since he had already clearly stated in the Diary that he wanted to change the way humans and Soul Beasts coexisted, allowing humans and Soul Beasts to stop slaughtering and hating one another and instead grow stronger together—

Then Gu Yuena, who had not sealed away her memories, had split off a second personality, and had remained calm and rational from beginning to end, naturally could not possibly make a move against him!

Most importantly, although the connection between the God Realm and Douluo Continent was currently blocked by the Diary, no one knew how long this situation could last.

Even if Gu Yuena fully recovered from her injuries, she could only meet a bitter end against the God Realm. There was no way she could be a match for those God Kings of the God Realm!

Perhaps Gu Yuena wanted Huo Yuhao to grow stronger as quickly as possible even more than he did. Ideally, he would put everything he had written in the Diary into practice in the shortest possible time.

If Huo Yuhao asked Gu Yuena to accompany him to the Far North, she would definitely not refuse!

Huo Yuhao felt that his upcoming trip to the Far North would definitely not be peaceful. The two princesses from Star Luo and Heaven Soul would most likely bring people to intercept him and try to take him back to their countries.

With Gu Yuena there, he would not need to worry about that at all.

It could only be said that Huo Yuhao did not know what those who had yet to come into contact with him might think. But people like Gu Yuena, who had appeared before him, would inevitably let him notice the thoughts hidden in their hearts!

"Then I'll mention it in the Diary first, so Gu Yuena and the Ice and Snow Empresses know about it."

It was another new day. Just as the Diary had explained before, once he had written in it continuously for a certain number of days, the rewards truly became much more generous.

This time, aside from raising my Soul Power by another level and successfully reaching level twenty, I actually received a Soul Bone Absorption Card and a Soul Spirit Contract.

Soul Spirits... what a familiar yet unfamiliar term. They allowed Soul Beasts to abandon their bodies and fuse their souls with those of human Soul Masters, their consciousnesses coexisting. At the same time, they could grant Soul Masters more than one Soul Ring. Although this could indeed slow the rate at which Soul Beasts declined, it was ultimately not the most correct method.

Even in the original work, if not for a certain God King's scheme that forced me to abandon everything and rush to the God Realm, there was a strong chance I could have further improved upon the foundation of Soul Spirits. But now, I already have a better idea. If it succeeds, humans will not only stop hunting Soul Beasts in the future—they will become each other's most dependable partners!

And this would not only allow Soul Masters to continue growing stronger. Soul Beasts would no longer have to cultivate so painfully as they did now, requiring a full hundred thousand years before they could become true powerhouses. It would absolutely greatly shorten the time needed for Soul Beasts to grow!

In the future, I still need to properly research this area. I must make this idea a reality!

However, the Diary gave me these two rewards. It is practically hinting for me to go to the Far North. But Tian Meng is gone now. Can I really still make the Ice Empress my Second Martial Soul?

Right! I can have Gu Yuena come with me to the Far North! With the Silver Dragon King, the Soul Beast Co-Lord, present, even if I can't make the Ice Empress my Second Martial Soul, at least no other accidents will happen! I'll go to the Far North after some time and take a look. If there's no opportunity, then I can only find an ordinary Ice Jade Scorpion and have it become my Martial Soul.

Before that, though, it was time to hunt my Second Soul Ring and advance into a true Soul Grandmaster! I should find Xiao Hongchen and let him know that the pills and medicinal ingredients he gave me were not wasted. Besides, I can let him enjoy my Mental Detection and Mental Sharing out in the wild for a while.

"Come to think of it, when I hunt my Soul Ring and when I head to the Far North soon, those beautiful girls won't all be fighting to come with me too, will they?"

Thinking of that scene, Huo Yuhao could not help clicking his tongue as he headed straight for Xiao Hongchen's Laboratory.

At the same time, the Ice Empress in the Far North became incredibly excited the instant she saw the contents of the Diary Copy.

"Snow Empress, Snow Empress! Did you see that? Huo Yuhao is still planning to come to the Far North to find me!"

The Ice Empress shouted while waving her two massive pincers, her entire scorpion body dancing with excitement.

Before the Snow Empress could say anything, the Ice Empress could not help bursting into laughter.

"I could only watch those women receive rewards before, but if Huo Yuhao really comes to the Far North, I must keep him here! As a Child of Destiny, his arrival will surely allow our Far North to receive the Plane Will's favor, just as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion does for the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"And the Diary Copy's rewards will all be ours! Hehe, hehehe."
