No way, I just finished watching Cosmic Star God and complained fiercely about how they forced Apollo's plot-armor death just to sell toys, so how did I open and close my eyes to become an infant? In this ice and snow, I'm going to freeze to death. Help!

In the Far North, snow drifted for ten thousand miles.

The biting wind was like a blade, and the low temperature was enough to shatter a Soul Master's protective shield in mere seconds, with the blizzard obscuring vision year-round and visibility dropping below three meters.

Right on this intensely cold ice field, a deep crater appeared.

A faint golden light, like a thin shell, wrapped around an infant.

At this moment, Beiming Lieyang only wanted to curse furiously.

Where on earth was this? How had he turned into an infant?

Yet in his current state, all his utterances were indistinct, babbling noises, and he could not even squeeze out a single complete sentence.

Is anyone there... Help...

The surrounding ice was piercingly cold, and the blizzard wailed incessantly.

Was he really going to be frozen into an ice sculpture right here?

He had just transmigrated, he did not want his beginning to end like this!

Hm?

Right at that moment, a slightly surprised female voice pierced through the wind and snow.

That voice was cold and melodious, and falling into Beiming Lieyang's ears, it was no different from the music of the heavens.

Someone was here!

He was saved!

He immediately mustered all his strength, waving his currently childish, short, and stubby little hands, desperately trying to attract the other's attention.

Amidst the all-encompassing wind and snow, Beiming Lieyang saw a figure.

That was a tall and slender woman, whose snow-white long hair draped down to her ankles, whose ice-blue eyes were as clear as the cold water deep within mysterious ice, and whose skin was like ice and snow.

An ice-blue crystal between her brows condensed like a crown, adding majesty to her peerless, beautiful face.

Her white long dress fluttered gracefully in the wind and snow, and snowflakes filled the sky, dancing around her like an advent-bringer descended from the ice and snow.

This Snow Woman...?

Could it be the Snow Emperor???

And this appearance, why did it look more and more like that Snow Emperor in the manhua version?

That face, ornaments, and attire were a hundred percent similar.

No... she was even more beautiful.

If this was not a coincidence, then the world he had transmigrated to was Douluo Continent?!

Then what time period was this?

Could it be—the time period of Tang God King's dog-training diary?

Countless thoughts surged through Beiming Lieyang's mind, while the Snow Emperor had already approached.

She frowned slightly, looking down at the infant wrapped in golden light within the ice crater, her gaze carrying scrutiny and inquiry.

"A human cub, why would you appear here?"

The Snow Emperor, Lord of the Far North, knew every inch of this ice field like the back of her hand.

Having just sensed an abrupt spatial fluctuation, she had even thought that Beast God Ditian had come over to attack.

Upon rushing here, however, she only saw an infant shrouded in faint golden light.

What was even weirder was that the snow around the infant had completely melted, and the permafrost that had not thawed for ten thousand years had also become dry and warm.

The Snow Emperor picked him up from the crater.

The instant her arms touched the infant, an extremely warm sensation transmitted through the swaddling clothes.

That was not the scorching heat of a burning flame, but rather resembled the gentle, melting warmth of spring sunshine casting down upon one's body.

As an Ice Heavenly Woman, the Snow Emperor naturally loathed all things searingly hot.

At this moment, however, the warmth upon this infant did not let her generate the slightest bit of repulsion, and she even faintly sensed an inexplicable comfort and closeness.

This made her feel exceedingly wondrous.

What in the world was the origin of this human infant?

Snow Emperor fell silent for a moment, then hugged the baby closer to her chest and adjusted her posture so the wind and snow would not beat directly against him.

Beiming Lieyang instinctively burrowed into her embrace, wanting to crawl into a place that offered better shelter from the snowstorm.

Feeling the tiny creature in her arms try to hide from the wind and snow, Snow Emperor could not help but curve the corners of her lips into a soft smile.

She had stayed in the Far North for many years, experiencing loneliness and cold, facing this unchanging white wasteland day after day.

Today, she unexpectedly encountered a child who made her feel warmth, as if a gentle and bright color had been added to this unchanging, endless stretch of time.

Hmm? What is this?

Snow Emperor suddenly noticed the corner of a deep blue light peeking out from the baby's swaddling clothes.

She gently parted the fabric with her fingers, took out an ice-blue bead from inside, and brought it close to her eyes to examine it carefully.

The bead was about the size of a chicken egg, with fine, flowing lights moving across its surface like a miniature star sealed within, exuding a deep and mysterious aura.

Uh...

Snow Emperor's voice suddenly choked off.

At that instant, a heavy darkness suddenly surged into the depths of her ice-blue pupils like a drop of ink falling into a clear spring, quickly spreading and expanding.

Her snow-white hair, which usually reached down to her ankles, began to stain ink-black inch by inch from the ends, as if swallowed by an invisible dark tide.

Ugh...!

Snow Emperor let out a muffled groan of pain, her entire body suddenly half-kneeling in the snow, her figure trembling slightly.

The originally tranquil icy aura around her suddenly became frantic and violent, whipping up circles of ice and snowstorms.

Beiming Lieyang stared wide-eyed, startled by this sudden turn of events.

What on earth was wrong with Snow Emperor?!

For no good reason, why did she look like she was about to turn dark?

No way, right? No way?!

Could it be that because he burrowed into her embrace, she turned dark??

Would she just slap him to death?!

He anxiously and frantically wriggled his tiny body, and suddenly his gaze locked firmly onto the blue bead in Snow Emperor's hand.

That dark aura was clearly emanating from the bead.

Wait, this thing...

Beiming Lieyang's pupils constricted sharply.

Why did this thing look more and more like...

The Star of the Galaxy from Cosmic Star God?!

It was created by the Creation God Odin, condensing Odin's lifelong power, and simultaneously contained both the ultimate powers of light and darkness.

The power was too formidable, easily coveted by those with ill intentions, and its dark side was enough to corrupt the user's mind.

And in Cosmic Star God, the only Solar Star God Apollo was the one who could completely suppress the dark power of the Star of the Galaxy.

The reason Dilu could be immune was because he was chosen by the Supreme God Odin.

Now Snow Emperor...

Could she be bewitched by the dark power inside the Star of the Galaxy?!

No! Hurry up and throw it away!

Beiming Lieyang broke out in a cold sweat of anxiety, desperately opening his mouth to shout, but what came out was still baby babble.

He raised his tiny hands, waving them with all his might, and grabbed Snow Emperor's sleeve, trying to pull her arm down.

Along with his movement, Snow Emperor's fingers loosened, and the Star of the Galaxy slipped from her palm, accidentally falling right into Beiming Lieyang's swaddling clothes.

Wait? How did it fall over to me?!

Get away, hurry up and get away!

As a modern person, he did not think he could withstand the bewitchment of the Star of the Galaxy.

He was not someone chosen by the Supreme God Odin.

Beiming Lieyang panicked so much that he gestured wildly, waving his little hands hard to bat the Star of the Galaxy out, only to find that when he touched the bead, there was no reaction at all.

No corrosion, no bewitchment, no darkness.

He blinked his eyes in puzzlement, lowering his head to look at the blue bead quietly resting against his chest.

What was going on here?

At the same time, the dark aura on Snow Emperor's body rapidly dissipated like a receding tide.

She half-knelt in the snow, her body trembling slightly, her pupils constricting sharply.

A moment later, that strange sense of darkness completely faded, her long hair returned to a clean snow-white, and her eyes cleared up as before.

She looked down at her own palms, her breathing shallow, her face betraying visible lingering fear.

Just now... what had happened to her?

It seemed that simply out of curiosity, she had picked up the bead inside this human infant's swaddling clothes...

And then she had been bewitched by a terrifying dark force, almost falling completely into the abyss.

Recalling her predicament just a moment ago, Snow Emperor felt a bone-chilling wave of cold.

She turned her head to look at the tiny baby in the swaddling clothes, her gaze mixed with a hint of shock and complexity.

Just now... it seemed like you saved me.

This child, who looked no more than a few months old, had startled her amidst the erosion of that bead, pulling her back from the edge of darkness.

Yet why would this child carry such a terrifying evil object in his arms?

And what alarmed her even more was—

The child seemed completely unaffected by that bead.

Snow Emperor lowered her head, her gaze falling upon the Star of the Galaxy resting quietly against Beiming Lieyang's chest, her brows slightly furrowed.

That bead could bewitch and erode even her, yet it couldn't do a thing to this tiny infant...

Just what kind of background did he have?

Beiming Lieyang noticed Snow Emperor watching him and started babbling and cooing again.

Only, this indistinct infant cry fell upon Snow Emperor's ears and inexplicably changed its meaning.

"Ma... ma?"

Snow Emperor's body trembled slightly, and she remained silent for a long time.

Once upon a time, she had also adopted a child.

That was a Little White Bear who had now grown into a supreme ruler of the Far North.

Now she had encountered another child.

And this child had pulled her back just now at the edge of sinking into darkness.

"Perhaps this is the fate between us."

"Since you've already called me mother, I will adopt you."

Snow Emperor lowered her head slightly and pressed a kiss to Beiming Lieyang's forehead, her voice cool yet carrying an unprecedented gentleness:

"From this day on, you are my, Snow Emperor's, child."

She pondered for a moment, her eyes falling on the infant's warm face:

"In the northern darkness there is snow, a land of extreme cold, yet you bring warmth from this bitter frost. Just like a blazing sun rising from the northern abyss... let us call you Beiming Lieyang, all right?"

Beiming Lieyang's eyes widened abruptly, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Wait, when did he ever call her mother?!

Could it be that his cooing and babbling just now... sounded like calling her mother to Snow Emperor?!

And—what was that about "a blazing sun rising from the northern abyss"??

Just like that, his name was Beiming Lieyang???

Wasn't this his original name?

He looked down at his current tiny physique, then met Snow Emperor's ice-blue and gentle eyes, for a moment feeling that this thing called fate... truly left one speechless.
