• Huo Yun’er expresses deep gratitude to Bai Luo for saving her and Yuhao from the White Tiger Duke’s Estate and preparing to accompany Yuhao into the Far North. She and Yuhao attempt to kneel in thanks, but Bai Luo stops them with Soul Power and insists that such formal gratitude is unnecessary.
• Huo Yun’er reminds Yuhao never to forget Bai Luo’s kindness. Yuhao solemnly promises to follow Bai Luo’s orders and remain loyal to him.
• In the Divine Realm, the Goddess of Life secretly observes the exchange. She jokes that Tang San’s carefully cultivated Child of Fortune, Huo Yuhao, has effectively become Bai Luo’s devoted admirer.
• Because Bai Luo is protected by the Goddess of Life’s authority, Tang San cannot observe him or learn what is truly happening in the lower realm. Tang San therefore wrongly believes that his schemes are progressing perfectly, especially regarding Wang Dong’s frequent visits to Bai Luo’s clinic.
• The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction enjoy the irony of Tang San’s misunderstanding and look forward to the collapse of his self-confidence.
• Tang San, meanwhile, imagines that he is manipulating Bai Luo, Huo Yuhao, and the Goddess of Life into strengthening the Tang Clan’s position. He confidently believes he will eventually dominate the Divine Realm.
• After delaying their departure to reassure the worried Jiang Nannan, Bai Luo and Huo Yuhao finally arrive at the Far North.

• Huo Yuhao asks the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm how they should search the vast Far North for the Ice Empress, fearing that a slow, area-by-area search would exhaust or freeze him.

• Huo Yuhao: Becomes increasingly devoted to Bai Luo, viewing him as the person who rescued and guided him. His loyalty develops into near-total obedience, while he remains anxious about the practical dangers of the Far North.
• Huo Yun’er: Shows profound gratitude and loyalty toward Bai Luo. She teaches Yuhao to remember Bai Luo’s kindness even though Bai Luo himself considers his actions merely useful rather than saintly.
• Jiang Nannan: Though absent from the main journey, her concern for Bai Luo’s safety is strong enough to delay his departure by a day.
• Goddess of Life: Continues protecting Bai Luo from Tang San’s surveillance and takes amusement in the way Tang San’s plans are unknowingly failing.
• God of Destruction: Shares the Goddess of Life’s satisfaction and hopes to see Tang San’s confidence collapse.

• Misjudgment and dramatic irony: Tang San believes everything is proceeding according to plan, while the reader and the other gods know that his assumptions are completely wrong.
• Loyalty and gratitude: Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun’er feel deeply indebted to Bai Luo, creating a strong bond that contradicts Tang San’s intended manipulation of Yuhao.
• Power and control: The chapter contrasts Tang San’s imagined control with Bai Luo’s actual influence and the Goddess of Life’s ability to shield him.
• Self-interest versus altruism: Bai Luo helps others but openly recognizes that he does so for practical benefits, while Huo Yun’er and Yuhao interpret his actions as extraordinary kindness.
• Overconfidence before downfall: Tang San’s smug certainty foreshadows a future reversal, reinforced by the God of Destruction’s belief that the higher Tang San rises, the harder he will fall.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Ice Empress mocks Sky Dream Ice Silkworm for respectfully calling Bai Luo “Lord” and believing Bai Luo can help him achieve godhood.

In reality, the gods are unaware of the situation and have little interest in the Far North’s beasts.
• Bai Luo shifts the focus toward finding the Snow Empress so that Huo Yuhao’s second martial soul problem can be resolved.

Huo Yuhao is intimidated by their strength, but none attack because of the Ice Empress’s presence.

The Snow Empress manifests from the surrounding snow and is introduced as the Far North’s strongest being, a nearly seven-hundred-thousand-year-old fierce beast with power equivalent to a Limit Douluo.
• The Snow Empress is immediately suspicious of the two humans accompanying the Ice Empress. The Ice Empress explains the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s scheme, the God-Making Plan, and Bai Luo’s supposed connection to a god, but deliberately omits the embarrassing details of her Master-Servant Contract.
• Knowing the Ice Empress well, the Snow Empress notices her evasiveness and presses her for the truth. The Ice Empress finally admits that she has become Bai Luo’s contracted beast under the intervention of the god behind him.

Key Plot Points / Events

• Snow Empress immediately refuses for herself, and says Xiaobai’s choice should be respected.
• Ice Empress asks about Snow Empress’s coming Heavenly Tribulation; Snow Empress admits her confidence is below twenty percent.

• Ice Empress worries the plan is too risky, but Snow Empress insists it is better than waiting to die in the tribulation.
• At the end, Bai Luo unexpectedly speaks, saying: “Perhaps I can help you.”

• Ice Empress realizes that Bai Luo may be able to help Snow Empress survive the dangers of Reincarnation Cultivation. She abandons her usual resistance to calling him “Master” and openly pleads for his assistance.

• Bai Luo confidently offers to solve the problem himself, insisting he does not need to trouble the Goddess of Life.
• To demonstrate that he possesses the necessary power, Bai Luo reveals his martial soul: the Kindhearted Medicine King, also called the Aeon of Abundance. Snow Empress senses an overwhelming divine pressure from it—stronger than the aura Tang San displayed upon becoming a god.
• Impressed and reassured, Snow Empress agrees to accept Bai Luo’s help and offers to compensate him with treasures from her collection, including spiritual materials and soul bones. Bai Luo declines immediate payment, partly because he wants to help Ice Empress and partly because he expects benefits from assisting a major figure like Snow Empress.
• Before beginning the reincarnation preparations, Snow Empress insists that they first resolve matters with Xiaobai, the Ice Bear King. She worries that after becoming human, she may lose her soul-beast aura and appearance, making it difficult for Xiaobai to recognize her.
• Snow Empress summons Xiaobai. A massive moving “snow mountain” approaches, which Huo Yuhao eventually realizes is actually the enormous Ice Bear King.

Character Developments

• Ice Empress: Her deep concern for Snow Empress becomes obvious. She is willing to suppress her pride and use the humiliating “Master” address if it might save Snow Empress. Her feelings toward Snow Empress appear especially strong, prompting Huo Yuhao to question whether they are deeper than her attachment to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: He reacts comically and defensively to Huo Yuhao’s suggestion that Ice Empress may care more for Snow Empress than for him, refusing to confront the possibility.

1. Key Plot Points

• Huo Yuhao is intimidated by the Ice Bear King Xiaobai's enormous size, but Bai Luo explains that size doesn't determine combat strength, ranking Xiaobai below the Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
• Xiaobai objects to being compared with the Titan Snow Demon King, mocking him as a "big idiot" with no brains, revealing a childish rivalry.
• Xiaobai kneels before the Snow Empress and calls her "Mother." The Snow Empress explains she adopted and raised him, making him see her as a biological mother.
• The Snow Empress reveals her Heavenly Tribulation is approaching and she likely cannot survive it. She plans to use a secret technique to reincarnate as a human and seek godhood.
• She presents Xiaobai with a choice: she has a "God-Making Plan" involving the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Ice Empress already bound herself to Bai Luo via a Blood Contract, while Huo Yuhao has an empty ice-attribute slot due to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
• The Snow Empress asks Xiaobai to decide whether to gamble on this plan himself, noting he could likely survive his own tribulations and live long, making this a risky bet: eternal life if it succeeds, only a fleeting century if it fails.

2. Character Developments

• Ice Bear King Xiaobai: Despite being a hulking, terrifying hundred-thousand-year soul beast, he displays a childish, emotional temperament. He is fiercely loyal to the Snow Empress (willing to die at her word), has a petty rivalry with the Titan Snow Demon King, and happily admits he lacks intelligence. His moment of panic when hearing of the Snow Empress's tribulation shows deep devotion.
• Snow Empress: Revealed as a nurturing adoptive mother figure. She is considerate of Xiaobai's autonomy, insisting he make his own choice about the God-Making Plan because it concerns his life and future. She is pragmatic about her impending tribulation and has already settled on a path forward.
