Ice Empress: God-Creation Project! Was the Ice Empress Possessed by the Bingmeng Ice Silkworm?!

"Little Auntie, stop biting me! I was wrong!"

He had barely finished teasing the Ice Empress when she pinched, kissed, and bit him, leaving his face covered in handprints and bite marks.

Beiming Lieyang struggled for quite a while.

After this, he had thoroughly figured out the nature of the Void Mysterious Ice.

Even without Spirit Rings, it could still triple all attributes of any object and even control others.

However, both enhancement and control consumed his Soul Power and spiritual power. The stronger the person being controlled, the faster the consumption, far exceeding that of enhancement.

In other words, as long as he was strong enough, no one weaker than him would be able to break free from his control.

Still, he felt it was ultimately because of the Star of the Galaxy. Otherwise, there was no way a single Martial Soul could cross several major realms and control a Super Douluo.

"Hmph, who told you to be so bold as to tease your little auntie!"

The Ice Empress took another bite, smacking her lips as her golden eyes lit up. "You smell even better after awakening. It makes me want to bite you even more."

She held Lieyang in her arms, but her gaze remained fixed on the Void Mysterious Ice.

Its ability to triple attributes, its delicious taste from just one lick—even knowing that it could control people, she was still drooling over it.

Being controlled by this little brat?

Hmph, what strange things could he possibly make her do?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

The Snow Empress watched the scene and smiled.

Over the past few years, she had also figured out that the alluring scent around Lieyang came from the origin of the Void Mysterious Ice. It had existed even before his awakening.

The terrifying thing was that, the moment it awakened, it could triple all their attributes and even temporarily control powerful beings at their level.

If his strength improved further, the duration would become even longer.

The Snow Empress's smile faded. "Since we've decided to cultivate the Void Mysterious Ice first, it's time to obtain your First Spirit Ring. With your current physique, you should be able to withstand two thousand years."

"Two thousand years?" The Ice Empress widened her eyes. "Xiaoyang has eaten Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue and heavenly treasures for so many years. His physique already rivals that of a Soul Elder! Two thousand years would be a waste. At least four thousand!"

"That's too high. I'm worried he won't be able to bear it." The Snow Empress frowned.

The Ice Empress leaned closer to the Snow Empress. "Xue'er, have you thought about it? His Martial Soul can triple attributes, and as long as there's enough energy, it can continuously restore energy and injuries. If we raise him properly, then when we undergo Heavenly Tribulations in the future..."

The Snow Empress's expression shook.

For hundreds of thousands of years, every Heavenly Tribulation had been a near-death experience.

If it was really as the Ice Empress said...

"If he grows up," the Ice Empress said with rare seriousness, "what Heavenly Tribulations would we have to fear?"

The Snow Empress fell silent for a moment, her gaze landing on Lieyang.

The infant she had carried back from the ice pit six years ago had now grown into a sturdy little boy, with Void Mysterious Ice floating in his palm that even they craved desperately.

The two women exchanged a glance and decided to increase their investment.

The Snow Empress raised her hand, and an ice box floated over from the depths of the Ice Crystal Palace.

When it opened, pure spiritual power rippled outward, and Lieyang's forehead grew faintly hot.

Inside lay an icy-blue crystal, shaped like a fox's pupil. Dim light flowed across its surface as if it were alive.

"Polar Ice Illusion Fox Pupils," the Snow Empress said coolly. "An External Soul Bone, twenty thousand years old."

Lieyang abruptly raised his head.

The drop rate for a thousand-year Spirit Bone was one in a thousand. A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was one in ten thousand, and they had even once caused wars between two nations, earning the name Blood River Treasure.

An External Soul Bone was even rarer than a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone.

"This External Soul Bone was dropped several tens of thousands of years ago when a group of human Soul Masters hunted a Polar Ice Illusion Fox on the outskirts of the Far North. Internal conflict drew stronger Soul Beasts, and the entire group was wiped out. After sensing it, I collected the Spirit Bone and have kept it ever since."

"Absorb it." The Snow Empress pushed the ice box toward him. "According to the sun in your dream, improving your body and spiritual power will allow you to absorb Spirit Rings of higher age. This will benefit you."

"What use is just an External Soul Bone?" The Ice Empress bounced over and poured out a pile of bottles and jars from her clothes. "Three Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Grass, five Ice Soul Condensed Spirit Fruits, and a jar of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Liquid! The Ice Marrow Grass strengthens the meridians, the Condensed Spirit Fruits stabilize the Spiritual Sea, and the Cold Jade Liquid nourishes Soul Power. Absorb them together, and the effect will be even better!"

Lieyang stared at the small pile of heavenly treasures, his throat going dry.

Any one of them would have driven human Soul Masters mad with competition, yet the Snow Empress and Ice Empress had simply thrown them all to him.

"What are you standing there for? Don't waste the effort Mother Xue and Auntie Bing put into this!"

Lieyang took a deep breath, grasped the icy-blue crystal, swallowed the spiritual herbs and fruits one after another, and began refining them.

Soul Power flowed into the crystal, while vast spiritual power poured into his Spiritual Sea. The crystal merged into his body, and surging Soul Power washed over his physique. His meridians widened, and his bones hummed.

The medicinal power of the Ice Marrow Grass nourished his meridians, the essence of the Condensed Spirit Fruits reinforced his Spiritual Sea, and the Cold Jade Liquid flowed through the source of his Soul Power, making it increasingly pure.

His spiritual power rose from the level of a tenth-rank Soul Master, broke through Soul Grandmaster, Soul Elder, and Soul Ancestor, then steadily stopped at the level of a Spirit Emperor.

Lieyang suddenly opened his eyes. An icy mark resembling a heavenly eye appeared between his brows before vanishing again.

The entire world suddenly became crystal clear.

Every pattern on the ice walls, the trajectory of cold air around the Snow Empress, even the minute tremors at the Ice Empress's hair tips—all of it entered his senses.

The Snow Empress stepped forward to inspect him. "Your physique is at the high-level Spirit King stage, and your spiritual power is at the Spirit Emperor stage."

"What is the External Soul Bone's skill?"

Polar Ice Illusion Pupils, passive: See through illusions, invisibility, and disguises. Directly immune to low-level illusions.

Energy purity increased by 100%, all attributes increased by 100%, spiritual attacks increased by 30%. Upon killing a target, absorb 1% of its spiritual power and permanently convert it for personal use.

Active: Spiritual Piercing

Condense spiritual power into a single point and pierce the target's Spiritual Sea, causing spiritual damage and interrupting thought. Its power and quantity increase alongside the user's strength.

Facing the Ice and Snow Emperors, who had held nothing back from him, Baili Lieyang felt deeply grateful.

Humans were not plants or trees. How could they be without feelings?

Six years of care and affection, on top of them treating him so well.

How could he not be grateful?

Otherwise, six years ago, he would have frozen into an ice block outside.

"Thank you, Mother Xue and Auntie Bing. These things are truly incredible."

The Ice Empress gave a proud snort. "Of course. Who do you think chose them?"

She was also inwardly amazed that it was a percentage-based enhancement Spirit Ability.

That meant that after using this External Soul Bone, Xiaoyang's overall attributes would double.

And his spiritual attacks would increase by another thirty percent.

Especially that most terrifying ability: extracting 1% of the spiritual power of a slain target and permanently turning it into his own.

It meant that he could continuously increase his spiritual power.

Beiming Lieyang immediately thanked them again solemnly. "Auntie Bing, Mother Xue, thank you."

The Ice Empress haughtily turned her head away, then leaned close again. "Since you know that, give Auntie Bing more delicious Void Mysterious Ice in the future! Auntie Bing's future Heavenly Tribulations will depend on you!"

As she spoke, she put on a stern little face again. "Also! You are not allowed to use that control ability to mess with Auntie Bing!"

Beiming Lieyang hurriedly nodded like a pecking chicken.

The Ice Empress was satisfied. Then her golden eyes shifted, and she said something shocking. "When Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts gain intelligence, they produce soul tremors. Human Soul Masters only dare to absorb Ten Thousand Year Spirit Rings once they reach the Spirit King stage.

Xiaoyang's physique is at the high-level Spirit King stage, while his spiritual power is at the Spirit Emperor stage.

Wouldn't that mean his First Spirit Ring could directly be at the Ten Thousand Year level?!"

"A Ten Thousand Year First Spirit Ring would surpass every Soul Master in the human world!"

The Snow Empress's eyes flickered. She said nothing, but the corners of her lips had already lifted slightly.

The more the Ice Empress thought about it, the more excited she became. She clenched her fists, her golden eyes shining like little suns. "Doesn't that mean... Xiaoyang absolutely has a chance of becoming a god! Like the Angel God and Sea God from ten thousand years ago!"

The Ice Empress's voice echoed through the Ice Crystal Palace. "The Angel God gathered the faith of the continent, and the Sea God gathered the faith of the continent. Xue'er, can't we make one too?"

The Snow Empress raised her eyes, her pupils shrinking slightly.

"Let's make a God-Creation Project!"

"Let Lieyang become a god."

For a moment, even the air seemed to freeze.

The Ice Empress grew more excited as she spoke. "There are countless Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts in the Far North. We've ruled this place for hundreds of thousands of years. Would it be difficult to cultivate a group of believers?"

She lowered her voice. "Besides... there are some aged and weakened Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts in the Far North that have reached the end of their lives. Rather than letting them die of old age and disperse, they could sacrifice themselves to Xiaoyang. Sacrifices can preserve a trace of the soul, so it would give them a destination as well."

The Snow Empress was silent for a moment. "...You've even thought about sacrifices?"

"Of course! If we're doing this, we're doing it big! Ten thousand years ago, there was the Angel God and the Sea God. Then we'll create a 'God of the Far North'!"

She scooped Lieyang into her arms and rubbed his head.

"Xiaoyang, Auntie Bing has already planned everything for you. From today onward, you are the sole young master of the Far North! The entire Far North is yours!"

Pressed into her embrace, Lieyang felt enormous waves surge through his heart.

A God-Creation Project? Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast sacrifices? Starting his First Spirit Ring at ten thousand years?

He raised his head, looking at the Ice Empress's sparkling golden eyes, then at the faint yet resolute smile on the Snow Empress's lips.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong with this little auntie.

Could she have been possessed by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?
