A Visitor from the God Realm

Qin Li suddenly called out in a certain direction.

All of a sudden, more than a dozen winged soul beasts emerged from the snow.

They flew around in front of Qin Li.

They were the Snow Elves Qin Li had mentioned.

They had been sent by the Snow Empress and Ice Empress to make contact.

"Thank you, everyone. I'll come back again someday."

After stroking the Snow Elves, Qin Li left the Far North.

Not long after she left, two figures appeared there.

The Snow Elves flew before one of them and said something.

"Mm, I understand."

The Snow Empress gave a slight nod. She now knew what had happened.

"I never expected there to be so many evil soul beasts in the Far North as well. Where did these evil soul beasts come from?"

The Ice Empress could not help frowning as she looked at the Darknight Snow Wolves on the ground.

"They probably escaped from another exit." The Snow Empress spoke calmly, though her gaze was fixed on the distant horizon.

"Big Sister, are you still thinking about that man?" The Ice Empress immediately saw through the Snow Empress.

The Snow Empress flatly denied it. "I wasn't thinking about Qin Feng."

"Big Sister, I hadn't even said who you were thinking about. You gave yourself away already?" The Ice Empress looked at the Snow Empress speechlessly.

That man was truly awful. He had utterly captivated her sister, but he was already married.

She would be better off with her instead~

"Where?" The Snow Empress looked uneasy and did not dare meet the Ice Empress's eyes.

"You're still denying it, Big Sister? Isn't the direction you're looking the direction where that man is?"

"Is it? Perhaps the scenery over there is especially beautiful. Little Sister Ice Empress, let's go back. I need to enter seclusion. He gave me something, and after I absorb it, I'll take the final step."

Hearing this, the Ice Empress looked at the Snow Empress in delight. She had not expected her sister to be on the verge of taking that final step.

The soul beasts with close ties to Qin Feng had all embarked on the path to godhood. Now, only her sister remained.

At last, it was her sister's turn.

"Really, Big Sister?"

"Why would I lie to you~?"

The Snow Empress gently tapped the Ice Empress's forehead with a finger.

"Hehe, Big Sister, don't forget your little sister when you make it big. Once you take that final step, remember to bring me along." The Ice Empress looked at the Snow Empress with a grin.

"He gave me an extra one. He said it was for you too."

"I have one too?"

"Yes!"

"Big Sister really is amazing. You even got one for your little sister along with yours."

Over the following years, Qin Li traveled throughout both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, searching through many Divine Ruins.

Gradually, she began to understand what she had been lacking.

Finally, one day, she felt something stir within her and sat cross-legged atop a mountain peak.

She summoned the Eastern Emperor Bell in her hand.

Though it was only a phantom, it had become far more solid.

Beneath her feet, the spirit rings belonging to the Eastern Emperor Bell appeared, nine golden spirit rings slowly emerging.

"I really am stupid. Dad said before that everything was within the Eastern Emperor Bell, yet I actually forgot."

Qin Li gave a bitter laugh. She had possessed a treasure without knowing anything about it.

With that in mind, she closed her eyes to rest. Once her spirit was fully replenished, she took out a Heaven-Given Spirit Ring.

Her strength had long since reached its limit.

Normally, to take the final step, she needed to receive a Divine Trial from a god. Only then could she become a god and break through to level one hundred.

However, there was another way: to create her own Godhood. That path was difficult, but it was the one best suited to her.

Qin Li sensed the Dao essence of the Eastern Emperor Bell while absorbing the Heaven-Given Spirit Ring.

This time, she did not absorb it as quickly as before. Instead, it took her a full month.

She remained motionless like a statue.

Only the aura around her grew increasingly powerful, so powerful that the surrounding soul beasts no longer dared approach the mountain.

The people at the foot of the mountain also dared not climb it because of that overwhelming aura, fearing that something else might be up there and kill them.

Buzz~

Crack~

Buzz~

Crack~

At the summit, the space around Qin Li repeatedly split apart, then healed again—splitting and healing.

This continued for a long time.

Boom!

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from Qin Li.

The Eastern Emperor Bell shot into the sky, growing larger and larger.

It grew so massive that it blotted out the sky and sun.

Many nearby residents and soul beasts looked up at the sky in shock.

What exactly was that enormous thing in the sky? Why had it suddenly become dark?

It even looked as though it might pierce through the heavens.

"Look at the sky! It's about to be punctured!"

"Oh no, it's true! The sky is about to break!"

"This is bad!"

In an instant, both soul beasts and people were gripped by panic.

One after another, they all wanted to leave this place.

Some soul masters also wanted to head to Qin Li's mountain to see what exactly had happened.

Led by a Soul Sage, several Soul Emperors and Soul Kings charged toward the summit.

However, when they reached the mountainside, a powerful invisible force blocked their path.

Every step felt as though a mountain were pressing down on their backs. Taking even one step required all their strength.

Boom!

After taking only a few steps, all the soul masters fell to their knees. They sensed a lofty power, and without even the thought of resisting, they knelt directly.

But at that moment, a passage suddenly opened in the sky, and an enraged voice came from within.

"You dare disrespect the Divine Court. Your crime warrants execution."

A figure emerged from the passage.

His entire body radiated a dark aura, and his gaze fixed directly on Qin Li below.

When he saw the Eastern Emperor Bell martial soul, surprise flashed in his eyes, but greed filled them even more.

The Eastern Emperor Bell gave him an immense sense of attraction. If he could absorb the power within it, he might be able to advance even further in the God Realm.

"Just some insignificant god. I thought it was someone important. Looks like he doesn't know about me if he dares set his sights on my daughter.

Still, it's fine to let Li'er use him for practice."

Qin Feng watched the little god and Qin Li as he spoke.

The one who had come was merely a mediocre Second-Level God. Qin Li had only just become a god, yet she could still defeat someone like him. Qin Feng did not care in the slightest.

"Who are you? Are you from the God Realm?"

Qin Li slowly opened her eyes and looked directly at the god in the sky.

"Looks like you have some ability. Since you know I am a god from the God Realm, why do you not kneel in worship?"

The man questioned her furiously.

"There are strengths and weaknesses among gods. I don't think I'm weaker than you." Qin Li retorted.

"Arrogant! You haven't even ascended to the God Realm, yet you dare mock me. You truly don't know the difference between life and death. Today, I will destroy you, one who disrespects the God Realm and scorns the gods."

"You're quite good at throwing around accusations!"

"Die!"

The god roared and struck at her with a gigantic palm.
