Ice Empress's Compromise

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm smiled and said, "Of course I'm not talking nonsense. I couldn't bear to stand in the Divine Realm and watch you perish, so I came to find you. We can take a gamble even with a 50% chance of success, let alone now that the chance is as high as 80%."

"Your Great Limit will be up in a little over ten thousand years. Ten thousand years is not a short time, but for us Soul Beast, isn't it just a blink of an eye?"

"Whether you choose to wait for your demise in this snow and ice, or to gamble on an 80% chance of eternal life, is entirely up to you."

"If you refuse as you say, we can leave now. Ten thousand years from now, when your four hundred thousand-year Great Limit ends, I will descend from the Divine Realm to personally see you off."

Ice Empress's gaze was somewhat dazed. She now clearly understood what Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was going to do. Her pair of crystal yellow eyes looked at Jun Xuehan, and the expression in her eyes kept changing.

Jun Xuehan simply watched quietly. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words were very persuasive, especially since she had grasped Ice Empress's weakness.

"Ice Empress, you should think this through carefully. Opportunity knocks but once. And you should know that he has a divine weapon. You are now trapped by me. With the divine weapon, he could easily kill you, but if he did, you would lose your mind. So he never conspired with me to scheme against you."

"At most, he's just a sentimentalist; the real choice of whether to go all out is still in your hands."

The words spoken by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were full of threat. It was true that the choice was in Ice Empress's hands, but now the decision was in their hands.

After speaking, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm secretly gave Jun Xuehan a wink, signaling him not to just watch the show and to contribute something.

"I do want the Soul Ring and Ferocious Beast Soul Bone of Ferocious Beast, because a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring is extremely rare on the continent, and only a handful of people possess it. So, no one would refuse Ferocious Beast Soul Ring Ferocious Beast Soul Bone from a ferocious beast, but Ice Empress, you can choose to refuse, and I will let you leave." Jun Xuehan said calmly, her cold words revealing her indifference.

"Do I have any other choice?" Ice Empress said coldly, his words carrying a hint of compromise. Compared to the threat of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Jun Xuehan's somewhat ambiguous words made Ice Empress feel even more threatened.

Because she didn't know if Jun Xuehan would really let her leave. Just as Jun Xuehan said, Soul Ring of Hundred Thousand Year is already extremely rare, let alone Ferocious Beast Soul Ring of more than 200,000 years.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "You truly deserve to be my beloved Bing Bing. You will feel fortunate for your choice today."

Ice Empress roared, "Tian Meng, you piece of trash, if you try to take advantage of me again, I'll risk Self-Destruct to take you both down with me. I refuse to believe that my Self-Destruct won't break this cage. Then, you two will be buried with me!"

"I'll let you sacrifice yourself. After all, he's the younger brother of the Co-lord of Soul Beasts and belongs to our Soul Beast Race. As fellow Soul Beast Race, he's more reliable than humans, no matter what. But I have one condition: you'd better stop spouting nonsense to me."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said sullenly, "Uh... do you have to be so heartless? I came here specifically for you."

Ice Empress stared at it coldly, but remained silent.

"Alright, I agree. Release your Spiritual Origin. You don't expect me to just release you like that, do you? Your temper is not something to be trusted."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said somewhat helplessly. As for the Self-Destruct mentioned by Ice Empress, neither Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nor Jun Xuehan were worried at all, because no Soul Beast would choose to Self-Destruct unless absolutely necessary.

A hint of hesitation flickered in Ice Empress's eyes. Once it released its Spiritual Origin, given the difference in Mental Power between itself and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, there would be no turning back. If the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was deceiving it, it would have no chance of turning the tables.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could naturally see her hesitation, and said in a deep voice, "By the Ice God, I, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, swear in the name of ice that if I deceive the Ice Empress and fail to help it become Intelligent Soul Ring after it releases its Spiritual Origin, I wish that everything belonging to ice will be taken away by you."

Listening to the oath sworn by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Jun Xuehan felt that this oath had no binding force whatsoever. However, the Soul Beast of the Extreme North Region the Ice God, so this oath carries the heaviest weight for them.

"Alright, I'll believe you." As one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, the Ice Empress was a decisive and ruthless being. After a brief hesitation, it made up its mind.

After all, no one wants to die if they can live forever. This was a decision she made after considering many factors. With an 80% chance of success, taking the gamble was perfectly fine.

Even if there's only a 50% chance of getting a slap, Ice Empress is willing to take the risk, let alone an 80% chance.

Its crystal-yellow eyes gradually turned emerald green, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's long emerald green tail rose again. This was something the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could only do after it relaxed its restraints.

A soft, emerald-green halo began to ripple backward from the base of its tail, eventually settling at the tip of its tail hook.

A flash of emerald light appeared, and a small emerald green sphere separated and slowly floated up. The eyes of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion instantly lost their luster and dimmed.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm breathed a sigh of relief, and its golden light immediately floated forward, clinging tightly to the remains. When the emerald green light sphere floated over, the size of its golden light suddenly increased, as if swallowing a whale, and then quickly returned to Jun Xuehan's Spiritual Sea.

"Goodness, that's two people now. If I could get two more, they could play mahjong in my Spiritual Sea." Jun Xuehan chuckled to herself.

Ice Empress hesitated for a moment, then said, "Gu Yu Yuan, you must bear the Soul Ring I give you, otherwise everything will be in vain, and the three of us will perish in the Extreme North Region."

Jun Xuehan said seriously, "I have no problem with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but yours is Ferocious Beast Soul Ring. I don't actually have absolute confidence."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm chuckled and said, "With Brother Sky Dream here, there's absolutely no need to worry. If all else fails, just seal some of the energy in the Soul Ring. I'm very familiar with this; that's exactly what I did when I sacrificed myself for him."

"Besides, now that you and I are in control together, the situation is different from before. How could we possibly let him fail?"
