"You beast, Tang San! I'll fuck your mother!!!"

Ye Han cursed at the top of his lungs. He truly could not take it anymore.

Then, the story simulation continued.

[Segment Four]:

"Not long afterward, the Holy Spirit Cult received reliable intelligence. The Sun Moon Empire had discovered that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with ice and snow attributes in the Far North was preparing to enter seclusion, undergo its tribulation, and break through. They judged that the Soul Beast would certainly be weakened by then, so they planned to use the ninth-grade Soul Tool, the God-Sealing Platform, to capture it.

"The Holy Spirit Cult developed designs on it and assigned you a mission: infiltrate this team alone. Once they succeeded, seize the God-Sealing Platform containing the sealed Soul Beast and bring it back to the Holy Spirit Cult! Once the mission is complete, you will regain your freedom!"

Ye Han:

"How does this plot seem so familiar?"

"This Soul Beast... couldn't it be Snow Empress?!!"

"In the original Soul Land 2 plot, Snow Empress was captured by the God-Sealing Platform!!"

[Segment Five]:

"You did not believe the Holy Spirit Cult would truly grant you freedom, but as a transmigrator, you guessed that the Soul Beast mentioned in the plan had to be Snow Empress. Thus, you agreed. Perhaps this was an opportunity to break free from the Holy Spirit Cult.

"With the Holy Spirit Cult secretly assisting you, you infiltrated the ninth-grade Soul Engineer team dispatched by the Sun Moon Empire. This team belonged to the Mingde Hall. It was led by a ninth-grade Soul Engineer and several top-tier seventh- and eighth-grade Soul Engineers, with combined combat strength comparable to a level ninety-eight Super Douluo.

"You knew that the Mingde Hall was an existence even the Holy Spirit Cult did not dare provoke openly. They could not send Evil Soul Masters with dark Martial Souls to make contact, so they could only send you, who possessed a righteous Martial Soul."

Ye Han:

"Can capturing Snow Empress really succeed?"

But considering the absurdity of the original Soul Land 2 plot, perhaps it really could.

The original work described a mysterious ninth-grade Soul Engineer and Titled Douluo using the God-Sealing Platform to capture Snow Empress.

Then she was auctioned at an auction house in the Star Luo Empire and bought back by the Mingde Hall.

[Segment Six]:

"After forty-nine days, you arrived in the Far North with the Soul Engineer team. You intercepted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, preventing Ice Empress from sacrificing herself to Huo Yuhao, so Ice Empress was still in the Far North at this time.

"You worried that Ice Empress would be an additional variable and make Snow Empress difficult to capture. But you were soon reassured. The leading ninth-grade Soul Engineer deployed a meticulous plan, setting up automatic Soul Tool artillery platforms throughout the Far North. They would be activated during the capture to lure away Ice Empress and the other scattered fierce beasts of the Far North.

"After the plan was deployed, once the phenomenon of a tribulation emerged from the Far North Depths, the captain decisively ordered the plan to begin. The automatic Soul Tool artillery platforms were activated, and Ice Empress along with the other powerful Soul Beasts were indeed drawn away. You followed the team as it began infiltrating the Far North Depths."

Ye Han:

"Although it's a little absurd, this is far more reasonable than the original Soul Land 2 plot!"

"At least it's a team carrying out a meticulously planned operation, not someone going alone..."

[Segment Seven]:

"Following the team, you soon reached the depths of the tribulation phenomenon in the Far North. Sure enough, you saw the Heavenly Snow Woman—Snow Empress—who had just completed her tribulation successfully! Having just undergone her tribulation, Snow Empress had transformed into a living embryo. She was extremely weak and lacked the ability to act independently.

"Other than you, no one saw anything unusual and did not discover that she was Snow Empress. They merely regarded her as a somewhat special Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. The captain took out the ninth-grade Soul Tool, the God-Sealing Platform, and stored her inside it before issuing the order to retreat.

"You were now a level seventy-nine, seven-ring Soul Saint. Relying on the uniqueness of your Martial Soul, you could challenge a Titled Douluo across ranks. Yet you knew that by yourself, it was impossible to seize the God-Sealing Platform and Snow Empress's embryo. Therefore, you deliberately left traces behind, intending to wait for the fierce beasts of the Far North to return and discover them, then pursue the team. You would borrow their hands to kill, then seize the opportunity to take the God-Sealing Platform and Snow Empress's embryo."

Ye Han:

"Looks like this 'me' actually had some brains."

"Sigh, I just hope I don't become mortal enemies with Ice Empress and Snow Empress later!"

"Otherwise, it'll be hard to choose them!!"

(Asking you babies, do you like Snow Empress?)

(Do you hope she becomes friendly with the protagonist later?!)

[Segment Eight]:

"You followed the team and quickly withdrew from the Far North Depths, and your scheme soon took effect. When the returning Ice Empress discovered that Snow Empress had vanished, she flew into a rage and pursued them along the trail you had deliberately left behind.

"The team had never expected to be discovered, much less that their pursuer would be Ice Empress, one of the Three Great Kings of the Far North. With three hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation, bolstered by the icy, snowy environment of the Far North, her combat strength was comparable to a peak level ninety-eight Super Douluo!

"The ninth-grade Soul Engineer captain had seen the world and weathered many storms. He quickly steadied the team and clashed with Ice Empress, the two sides evenly matched. Taking advantage of the chaos, you found an opportunity, stabbed the top-tier seventh-grade Soul Engineer guarding the God-Sealing Platform in the back, seized it, and fled.

"You believed that with Ice Empress holding them back, they certainly would not be able to break free and chase you for a while. But you never imagined that the Soul Engineer you killed was the son of the ninth-grade Soul Engineer captain. He instantly flew into a rage, broke away from the team, and pursued you alone."

Ye Han:

"Father and son fighting side by side, huh!"

"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had, I wouldn't have stabbed him to death!"

(Asking you babies, do you like Ice Empress?)

(Do you hope she becomes friendly with the protagonist later?!)

[Segment Nine]:

"You engaged in a fierce battle with the ninth-grade Soul Engineer captain. Although he was only a level ninety-one Titled Douluo, he was also a ninth-grade Soul Engineer, and his combat strength was comparable to level ninety-seven. You were no match for him at all, so you took out the God-Sealing Platform and threatened to destroy it.

"But the pain of losing his son had made him stop caring about this Soul Tool and the Soul Beast embryo. With one blast, he damaged the God-Sealing Platform. Snow Empress was immediately released. At this point, she had recovered her consciousness and part of her strength, and she directly launched an attack against him.

"The ninth-grade Soul Engineer captain was shocked that the embryo was actually Snow Empress, the ruler of the Far North! But seeing that Snow Empress was weak and had not regained her strength, he immediately set aside his grief over his son. He no longer pursued you and instead focused entirely on fighting Snow Empress, intending to kill her. Even if he could not absorb her Soul Ring, he could still take her Soul Bone!"

Ye Han:

"..."

This fucking ninth-grade Soul Engineer had just flown into a rage over his son.

Yet the moment he saw Snow Empress, he could not move on?!

[Segment Ten]:

"You originally wanted the snipe and clam to fight while you reaped the rewards, but Snow Empress had only just broken through and was far too weak. After a bitter battle, she was beaten into grave injuries and left on the brink of death.

"At the critical moment, you risked your life to save Snow Empress and fled with her like mad. Naturally, Snow Empress also hated you, this human, but your Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul made her feel a kinship and closeness.

"After fleeing into a cave, Snow Empress's injuries were too severe. She was already barely alive, beyond saving. So, you spoke of the Soul Spirit method and talked her into sacrificing herself to become your Soul Spirit. This was the only way to preserve her life, and you would find a way to revive her in the future.

"Snow Empress had no choice. Combined with the affinity granted by your Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul, she ultimately believed you and sacrificed herself to become your Soul Spirit. But during the process, because she could never completely trust humans, her resolve became unstable, causing her to lose her memories."

"Good, good!"

After reading this part, Ye Han heaved a huge sigh of relief:

"Looks like I didn't completely become enemies with Snow Empress! There's still hope of becoming friendly later. Choose her!"

"I just wonder how things will develop afterward. Quite a few characters from the other options still haven't appeared!"
