The Original Story Begins (Please Follow and Urge Updates)

Ice Empress glanced at Snow Emperor.

Those ice-blue eyes were as calm as ever. Beneath that calm, there was now an added trace of resolute determination.

Snow Emperor had already made her decision.

Before finding the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow, the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus truly was her last chance.

But she no longer cared. Her child needed the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.

Ice Empress looked deeply at Snow Emperor, then nodded heavily.

"Alright."

Ice Empress immediately turned and left, heading toward the location Snow Emperor had mentioned.

While Ice Empress went to retrieve the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, Snow Emperor did not remain idle either.

She fetched a basin of water and a piece of cotton cloth, personally wiping the grime from Ling Xiao's body.

Snow Emperor wiped him little by little, her movements light and gentle, afraid of hurting Ling Xiao.

As Snow Emperor wiped him clean, Ling Xiao's original skin tone gradually emerged.

Snow Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted.

Because nearly all the wounds on Ling Xiao's body had already healed.

Snow Emperor was shocked once again.

After wiping away all the grime, Snow Emperor changed him into clean clothes.

Snow Emperor did not say a word.

Like a true mother, she carefully tended to her injured child.

There were no unnecessary words, no unnecessary movements—only the most genuine care.

Once Snow Emperor had finally finished cleaning him, she placed Ling Xiao back on the ice bed.

Ling Xiao looked much better now, no longer the blood-colored lump of charcoal he had been before.

Snow Emperor sat quietly beside the bed, gazing tenderly at Ling Xiao on the ice bed.

(If you think the protagonist is unattractive, please imagine yourself in his place.)

She was no different from a real mother.

Not long afterward, Ice Empress returned.

The snow lotus floated quietly in her palm, its entire body emitting a faint ice-blue glow.

Ice Empress handed the snow lotus to Snow Emperor. Her lips moved slightly, but she said nothing.

Snow Emperor accepted the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, her ice-blue eyes lingering on it for a moment.

She directly extracted the snow lotus's essence.

She slowly drew out the medicinal power contained within it, sending it thread by thread into Ling Xiao's body.

The medicinal power slowly flowed along his meridians.

Nourished by the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus's medicinal power, Ling Xiao's breathing gradually became steady and strong.

His tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed as well.

Seeing Ling Xiao's complexion gradually improve, Snow Emperor's suspended heart finally began to ease.

Ice Empress stood nearby watching, a complicated look flashing through her eyes.

If they failed to find the Profound Ice Marrow...

Ice Empress did not continue that thought.

For the time that followed, Snow Emperor remained by Ling Xiao's side.

She never left him for even a single step.

She sat on an ice chair beside the ice bed, her eyes always fixed on that sleeping figure.

Ling Xiao's complexion improved day by day, but there was still no sign of him waking up.

Ice Empress came every day. Sometimes she came once a day, sometimes two or three times.

Each time she came, she would first look at Ling Xiao, then ask Snow Emperor the same question.

"Xue'er, is the little one still not awake?"

"No."

Hearing this, Ice Empress's twin ponytails drooped slightly. She stayed in the Ice Crystal Palace for a while, exchanged a few words with Snow Emperor, then left again.

The next day, she came again.

"Xue'er, how is the little one?"

Snow Emperor answered coolly, "He is much better already, but he still has not awakened."

Ice Empress nodded, fell silent for a moment, and then left again.

The third day.

The fourth day.

The fifth day.

The days passed one after another, and the heavenly tribulations of the two Emperors drew closer each day.

During Ling Xiao's coma, the story of Douluo Continent had officially begun.

White Tiger Duke's Estate.

Huo Yun'er ultimately succumbed to illness.

Huo Yuhao knelt before his mother's bed, tears streaming down his thin, gaunt face.

After carrying his mother outside and burying her, he fled the White Tiger Duke's Estate.

Without looking back.

Without any attachment.

Filled with hatred and grief, he headed alone for the Great Star Dou Forest.

He was determined to avenge his mother!

Just as in the original story.

Within the Great Star Dou Forest, Huo Yuhao first encountered the million-year soul beast: Sky Dream Iceworm.

It was that plump, white bug, speaking in its highly beguiling voice.

Sky Dream Iceworm said a great deal to lure him in, successfully making the young Huo Yuhao believe it.

He then encountered a remnant soul from another world: the Calamity of the Undead, the Necromancer Holy Mage God, Electrolux.

A powerful soul from another world entered Huo Yuhao's sea of spirit.

At this point, Sky Dream Iceworm's "God-Making Project" had officially begun.

Meanwhile.

God Realm.

That pure and immaculate God King Tang had also begun his ten-thousand-year-long scheme.

The Sea God's Trident fell in response, and God King Tang successfully cleaved his daughter into two.

Half of Tang Wutong's soul was sent to the Clear Sky Sect on Douluo Continent.

As for the other half, he clenched it tightly in his hand, preparing to do something filthy.

God King Tang planned to use this half of her soul to seize the fortune of Douluo's soul beast races.

This was the most crucial part of his scheme.

He had also captured Huo Yun'er's departed soul.

A departed soul that had only just died was plucked from reincarnation by the God King, ready to be used to threaten Huo Yuhao as he wrote his dog-training diary.

So-called dog training meant training a dog that was utterly loyal and useful to God King Tang!

That dog was called Dai Yuhao.

On Douluo Continent.

God King Tang continued to advance his game of chess.

Using his divine power, he influenced the fate of Tang Ya, the current master of the Tang Sect.

He made her and her simp, Bei Bei, head together to the Great Star Dou Forest to obtain soul rings.

There was only one purpose!

To create an opportunity for Tang Ya and Bei Bei to meet Huo Yuhao, the child of fortune.

Everything was within the God King's calculations.

After a series of "coincidences," Tang Ya and Bei Bei officially became acquainted with Huo Yuhao.

Not only did Tang Ya deeply sympathize with Huo Yuhao's circumstances, she also believed that Huo Yuhao, who possessed only rank-one innate soul power, was a genius.

Using the Tang Sect's recommendation quota, she successfully allowed Huo Yuhao to join Tang San's Tang Sect.

After giving the quota to Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao successfully enrolled in Shrek Academy.

Through a series of schemes by God King Tang, half of his daughter's soul took the form of Wang Dong.

Disguised as a boy, she was successfully arranged to enter Shrek Academy.

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao became roommates.

From this moment on!

The great God King Tang's dog-training diary officially began recording the dog-training process.

However.

None of this had anything to do with the Extreme North, at least not yet.

Inside the Ice Crystal Palace of the Extreme North, Ling Xiao was still in a "coma."

No.

He was not unconscious.

Ling Xiao had actually awakened long ago.

Only...

The place where he had awakened was not the Ice Crystal Palace, but a dark expanse of chaos.

A void.

A chaos.

There was no distinction between light and darkness here, nor any distinction between above and below. All senses had been stripped away.

Ling Xiao floated within this chaos, as though he had become an orphan once more.

He could not feel his body or limbs. He could not even feel himself breathing.

But he could still think.
