Ice Empress: Becoming Gods, with You?

"Of course not."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm flew out of Huo Yuhao's body.

"Just leave the rest to me."

The power sealed within Huo Yuhao's body surged forth.

Strands of golden light flashed across Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body.

His originally bloated, plump body changed at a visible pace.

He transformed into human form.

A powerful will erupted along with it.

"Ice Empress, I'm back!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stood proudly with his hands on his hips.

"Brother Sky Dream, can we really do this?"

Huo Yuhao asked timidly, lacking confidence.

"Of course."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was brimming with confidence.

"Given the relationship between me and Ice Empress, once she learns that I'm here, she'll definitely come looking."

"Just relax, little Yuhao. All we need to do is wait!"

Hearing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm say that, all sorts of speculation immediately surfaced in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Could it be that you and that Ice Empress have some special story between you?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had just been about to fabricate a moving, twist-filled tale of his and Ice Empress's romance when Bai Luo's remark stopped him cold.

"Once she heard that the food she'd been longing for had returned, of course she had to hurry over."

Bai Luo chuckled.

With his dirty secret exposed, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not quite save face.

But since Bai Luo was the one saying it, he did not dare flare up.

He could only give an awkward laugh.

"Lord Bai, you really know a lot!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not understand why Bai Luo even knew about this.

That past incident should have happened nearly a thousand years ago.

"It was easy to guess."

Bai Luo spread his hands.

"In the Far North's food chain, isn't the Ice Silkworm Clan part of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan's diet?"

He truly could not understand how Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had fallen for Ice Empress.

Food falling in love with its predator—now that was something.

"Uh..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was rendered speechless.

Because what Bai Luo said was the truth.

As the ruler soul beast clan of the Far North, the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan had an exceptionally broad diet.

The Ice Silkworm Clan was unmistakably among it.

Huo Yuhao's expression changed from wistful imagination to speechlessness.

He had thought Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and that powerful soul beast, one of the Far North Three Heavenly Kings, shared some unspeakable history.

In the end, it was just the relationship between predator and food.

Brother Sky Dream was unbelievable. He could make even that kind of relationship sound so ambiguous.

As the group chatted casually.

An icy voice interrupted their conversation.

"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, I never expected you to dare return to the Far North."

Wind and snow filled the sky, sweeping across heaven and earth in the Far North as a figure slowly approached through the snow.

A woman emerged from the depths of the snowstorm, her steps neither hurried nor slow.

Her long jade-green hair fell to her waist, utterly unmoving in the wind.

Her skin was fair, her brows and eyes like distant mountains covered in snow—cold and profound.

Ice Empress!

One of the Far North Three Heavenly Kings!

The sovereign of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan!

A supreme powerhouse whose strength had reached the level of a human Super Douluo!

Merely by arriving, the pressure she radiated made Huo Yuhao's face turn pale.

Even breathing became somewhat difficult.

A pale green glow appeared.

It formed a barrier before them.

It shut out Ice Empress's overbearing aura.

Only then did Huo Yuhao's complexion gradually regain its color. He quickly cast Bai Luo a grateful look.

"Thank you, Brother Bai!"

Bai Luo waved a hand without saying anything, his gaze fixed on Ice Empress.

Ice Empress also noticed his presence.

A trace of surprise flashed through her eyes, but it quickly vanished.

It was replaced by utter disdain.

She had sensed Bai Luo's cultivation.

It was already quite impressive among humans, but to a powerhouse of her level, it was clearly not worth her attention.

Her gaze then shifted to the human form Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had taken.

Her voice was contemptuous, carrying a faint hint of mockery.

"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, has something gone wrong with your brain?"

"Or did you know I was hungry, so you specially delivered food to me, with two humans thrown in?"

Clearly, Ice Empress did not take Bai Luo or Huo Yuhao seriously at all.

Her strength gave her the right to do so.

At this moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes shone with the unique light of a hopeless simp.

"Ice, after all these years, I've finally seen you again!"

His face was full of excitement.

But Ice Empress remained cold-faced, even revealing a trace of killing intent.

"Don't call me by such a disgusting name."

With that, Ice Empress lost what little patience she had left.

"Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, you needn't leave."

"Snow Empress is just about to reach that stage. This worm will make a fine supplement for her!"

After saying that, Ice Empress narrowed her eyes and prepared to strike.

The ice elements between heaven and earth stirred in response.

The gale sweeping across the ice plains grew even fiercer.

Its howling was so intense that it unsettled the mind.

Seeing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm repeatedly waved his hands.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"I came to help you!"

"Help me?"

As though she had heard some ridiculous joke, Ice Empress gave a disdainful snort.

Clearly, she did not believe that a useless creature like Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could help her in any way.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm put his hands on his hips and proudly raised his head.

"Yes, Ice!"

"I came to invite you to join me in carrying out the God-Making Plan!"

Making gods!

Hearing those words, Ice Empress paused.

"What do you mean?"

She questioned him coldly.

Seeing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm knew that Ice Empress was interested.

After all, becoming a god held immense appeal not only for soul masters, but also for soul beasts like them.

Perhaps even more so.

Humanity's hope of becoming gods might be faint and elusive, but it was not impossible.

For the soul beast race, however, the path to godhood had long since been severed.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pressed on while the iron was hot.

"Ice, I know you're nearing that point as well."

"That's why I came to find you."

"Though we soul beasts have long lifespans, they still have an end."

"Heavenly Tribulation hangs over our heads like the Sword of Damocles."

"But the path for our soul beast race to become gods has already been cut off."

"So I came up with another plan."

"To create a god!"

"Like me, attaching ourselves to his body in the form of intelligent soul rings."

"Once he attains a Divine Position and ascends to the Divine Realm, we can enter the Divine Realm alongside him and enjoy eternal life!"

"Ice, join us. Let's launch the God-Making Plan together and race toward eternity!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke with impassioned fervor, displaying quite a talent for joining a pyramid scheme.

But Ice Empress had lived for so many years. Naturally, she could not be swayed by just a few words from him.

She sneered.

"Become gods?"

"Easy for you to say. On what basis?"

"On this frail human?"

Ice Empress glanced at Huo Yuhao, disdain written across her face.

With her insight, she could naturally tell that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had appeared by attaching himself to this human.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm smiled.

"Yuhao may not be strong now, but with my help, he'll soon undergo a complete transformation."

"And besides..."

"We've got Lord Bai's thigh to cling to. Our future is absolutely bright!"
