Ice Empress's Plan, the Second Clone

Ice Empress's voice was soft, yet Li Qingming's eyes filled with surprise as he listened to her.

"Ice Empress, what do you mean by that?"

"My meaning is simple. I want to become your soul spirit."

"Compared to that boy named Huo Yuhao and the so-called Spirit Eyes martial soul he possesses, I trust your talent more."

As Ice Empress spoke, her ruby-red eyes stared at Li Qingming, making her intentions abundantly clear.

She was no fool. How could she fail to notice whether Li Qingming possessed some special power?

Although she did not know that this special power was an inheritance belonging to the Angel God, she had her suspicions.

Ice Empress did not understand the God Realm, but she knew perfectly well that one who possessed the inheritance of an innate god would certainly find it easier to ascend to godhood.

Rather than wait several hundred years until she could no longer withstand the heavenly tribulation and perish, she might as well take a gamble now and entrust everything she had.

Hearing Ice Empress's words, Li Qingming was slightly stunned. His gaze met hers, and their eyes locked.

Li Qingming's gaze did not waver, but the cautious look on his face slowly faded, his expression gradually settling into calmness.

"Ice Empress, I do not need a second martial soul. Or rather, a second martial soul would be completely useless to me. Even if you gave me one, I would not need it."

"You may indeed be one of the most powerful savage beasts in the Far North, but to me, you are of no use whatsoever."

Li Qingming's voice was soft as he looked directly at Ice Empress.

Even when he was at another's mercy, he made himself perfectly clear.

If the other party could offer him no assistance and bring him no benefit, then he had no need for them to become his soul spirit.

After all, integrating a soul spirit itself consumed potential. If the other party was of no use, it would merely waste his strength for nothing.

A hint of surprise also appeared in Ice Empress's eyes as she listened to Li Qingming.

She had never imagined that she, the dignified second great king of the Far North, would voluntarily surrender herself to a human and be willing to become his soul spirit, only to be rejected.

"You despise my Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul?"

"My Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul is an ultimate martial soul. Its potential is no less than that of your Sacred Angel."

"Even if your angel is the legendary Six-Winged Angel, the same holds true!"

Ice Empress snorted coldly, and an aura of ultimate frost suddenly swept forth.

Piercing cold shrouded Li Qingming, seeping even into his marrow as it began to erode his bones.

Yet Li Qingming remained standing still. He had an agreement with Snow Empress, so even if Ice Empress disliked him, she most likely would not truly kill him.

And if Ice Empress really made a move, then he would yield. However, if that happened, Ice Empress would be forcing him to accept her. To him, that would no longer be a favor, but hatred.

Naturally, Ice Empress could guess Li Qingming's thoughts. Although this young man was far from being her match and still had to live at her mercy, once he grew stronger and truly became a god in the future, if he decided to abandon her, Ice Empress would have no way to stop him.

Ice Empress saw this clearly and understood it well. Thinking of this, she could not help but sigh.

"Tell me, then. What do you intend to do? If you truly do not want me, then forget it. It is not as if I must become your soul spirit."

There was anger in Ice Empress's voice, but she ultimately forced it down.

Hearing Ice Empress's words, Li Qingming silently weighed the matter in his heart. He truly did not need Ice Empress, and she was even of no use to him, but he possessed an extremely cold constitution. Innately, his extreme cold attribute had already reached its pinnacle.

After thinking for a moment, his gaze fell on the bead in his palm.

At present, his Fallen Angel and Sacred Angel could transform into a Judgment Angel.

Though it was powerful enough, the Judgment Angel was not without weaknesses. Its greatest weakness was that its power was ultimately limited.

Ice Empress, however, could remain behind and become one of his clones.

Li Qingming's ability to condense clones did not come from the Angel inheritance.

Neither the Angel inheritance nor the entire Angel Clan possessed such a cloning method. Otherwise, Qian Renxue's remnant soul would have long since found a way to preserve her life.

This method actually originated from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Through a special method, one could split the three souls and seven spirits into three, allowing him to possess at most three incarnations. Each clone was no different from the original body and was completely controlled by his consciousness.

Creating a second clone now was not a bad idea either. He could use Ice Empress's body as the foundation to condense a second clone.

This clone could remain in the Far North to cultivate and be looked after by Little White in the future.

With a savage beast nearly three hundred thousand years old serving as its protector, this clone's rate of improvement would surely surpass Li Qingming's expectations.

At this thought, hesitation rarely appeared in Li Qingming's eyes. But after considering it again and again, he ultimately settled on this plan.

What kind of angel he would become in the future was still unknown. He could not even predict whether he would obtain the Angel God's godhood.

Tang San possessed the dual godhoods of Asura God and Sea God, and his Sea God godhood was already extremely close to the level of a God King. Perhaps he could even touch upon the threshold of a quasi-God King now.

Under such circumstances, a single Angel God godhood would be far from enough if he wanted to contend against Tang San.

The murder of one's father was an irreconcilable hatred. He would definitely take revenge on Tang San, but before that, he needed to accumulate sufficient strength.

Therefore, leaving behind this clone now was not without benefit. With that thought, Li Qingming let out a long breath and briefly explained his plan to Ice Empress.

When she heard that Li Qingming intended to use her body as the foundation to create an entirely new clone, hesitation flashed through Ice Empress's eyes. Yet after pondering it for a moment, she ultimately nodded.

Though this would be somewhat inconvenient for Ice Empress, it would not have much of an impact in the end. Once she nodded, the two simply discussed how the fusion would work.

Originally, Li Qingming wanted to leave Ice Empress within this clone, just as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would take that Fallen Clone to the Sun Moon Empire, while this clone remained in the Far North.

However, Ice Empress directly refused. She wanted to stay by Li Qingming's side, both to see the human world and to understand what it was like.

Li Qingming did not object. After all, he had taken her body and gained everything she had. It would indeed be unreasonable to refuse even such a small request.

However, Ice Empress did have another idea regarding this clone's martial soul.

"The upper limit of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul is indeed limited, so I suggest that you use the Heavenly Snow Woman directly as this martial soul."

"I will compress all of my ultimate ice power into the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow that Little White gave you."

"Use the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow as your skeleton, then use my soul bone as your breastbone."

"Through forced fusion, it should be possible to create a terrifying existence that possesses the physical strength of my Ice Jade Empress Scorpion while also having the Heavenly Snow Woman martial soul."

Ice Empress spoke bluntly. Since she had decided to become Li Qingming's soul spirit, she naturally had to make thorough preparations, and the Heavenly Snow Woman martial soul was perfectly suited for it.

Once Snow Empress returned in the future, she could use the connection between the Heavenly Snow Woman martial soul and ultimate ice to smoothly merge into this body. Or rather, she could preserve her power within it as well, making this Ice-Snow Clone even stronger.
