In This Life, If I Cannot Become a God, I Will Quietly Wait for the Storm to Rise!

The Extreme North.

The killing intent-laden cold wind beat against his body, yet the boy's eyes did not change in the slightest. He looked calmly at the person before him.

She was a woman as beautiful as a celestial maiden. Snow-white hair poured down from the crown of her head all the way to her ankles, and her unadorned long dress set off her flawless figure.

Yet this woman, like a spirit born from the snow, possessed an identity enough to make even a Titled Douluo's expression change.

She was none other than the leader of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, the Snow Empress!

"Since it was Bing'er's own decision, I have nothing more to say. Leave the Extreme North at once!"

The Snow Empress fixed her ice-blue pupils on Huo Yuhao and spoke while suppressing her fury.

"Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!"

The Snow Empress's Seven Hundred Thousand Years Heavenly Tribulation was drawing near. She had no confidence in surviving it, and could only choose Human Form Re-cultivation before the Heavenly Tribulation descended.

But she could not let go of the Extreme North, nor could she let go of the Ice Emperor, who was about to face her four-hundred-thousand-year lightning tribulation.

So she had originally planned to help the Ice Emperor before re-cultivating, aiding her through the tribulation and adding another foundation to the Extreme North.

Who would have thought that when she followed the Ice Emperor's aura and found her, what she saw would be a human!

A human who had absorbed the Ice Emperor's soul ring and turned the Ice Emperor into his second Martial Soul!

The Snow Empress looked coldly at Huo Yuhao.

If Bing'er had not personally appeared earlier to explain, and if matters had not already reached this point—where killing Huo Yuhao would be the same as killing the Ice Emperor—she never would have let him off!

Huo Yuhao's expression was heavy.

If not for the Ice Emperor, he would never have come to see the Snow Empress.

It had been thirteen years since he transmigrated to the Douluo Continent and became Huo Yuhao. Aside from taking a risk by entering the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain the two opportunities that were Tian Meng and Electrolux, he had always been extremely cautious.

He had not joined Shrek, nor had he joined the Sun Moon Empire. He had simply watched everything from the corners of the continent, staying far away from the core of every conflict.

But today, on the very day he obtained the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, he acted completely out of character and cast aside his own safety. After obtaining the Ice Emperor, he did not leave. Instead, he deliberately released her aura and waited, all for this moment!

Nearby stood the Snow Empress, seething with killing intent. In the distance, the faint sound of ten thousand beasts galloping could be heard—the Ice Emperor's clansmen and other soul beasts, who had followed the Ice Emperor's aura here.

Inside his Spiritual Sea, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Emperor were also nagging nonstop, urging him to leave.

But Huo Yuhao had no intention of leaving.

"I'm sorry, Brother Sky Dream, Ice Emperor. I can't leave right now."

Huo Yuhao's firm murmur sounded within the Spiritual Sea. "This is the first step toward walking a different path..."

As he spoke, under the Snow Empress's astonished gaze, he took a step forward and stood two meters away from her. "Snow Empress, I want to make a deal with you."

The Snow Empress's expression was cold. "What ability do you and Tian Meng have to make a deal with me? Or are you deluding yourselves into thinking I might join your God Creation Plan and become your soul ring?"

Earlier, in order to stop her from killing Huo Yuhao, the Ice Emperor had told her practically everything without holding anything back. Naturally, Tian Meng's God Creation Plan had also reached her ears.

Admittedly, with a Fierce Beast and a Million Year Soul Beast assisting him, along with powerful Twin Martial Souls, Huo Yuhao's future achievements would not be low. But compared to such an obviously unreliable God Creation Plan, the Snow Empress trusted herself more.

How could a soul beast of nearly Seven Hundred Thousand Years undergoing Human Form Re-cultivation be inferior to a human cultivating for the first time?

Therefore, the Snow Empress said bluntly, "Human, do not be insatiable! If you still do not leave, I will turn you into an ice sculpture of the Extreme North and absorb the origin Tian Meng left inside your body..."

"Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow." Huo Yuhao's soft words interrupted the Snow Empress's threat. "I have information on Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow!"

The Snow Empress, as well as the Ice Emperor and Tian Meng inside his Spiritual Sea, froze at the same time.

"What did you say? Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow?"

A moment later, Tian Meng was the first to let out a string of shocked cries inside the Spiritual Sea. "Yuhao, do you really have news of it?"

He was the one who had lain in the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave absorbing Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, sleeping his way into becoming a Million Year Soul Beast-brand power bank. No one understood the terrifying nature of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow better than him. It was a top-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures item capable of raising the success rate of the God Creation Plan by dozens of percentage points!

If Yuhao could absorb Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, then their God Creation Plan... Eh, wait, what had Yuhao just said?

He wanted to use information on Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow to make a deal with the Snow Empress?

In the Spiritual Sea, under the Ice Emperor's strange gaze, Tian Meng collapsed forward in despair.

"Yuhao, you wastrel! You're going to make Brother die of anger!"

If he had news of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, he should have told him in advance! Why use it to rope in the Snow Empress?

Now great. A bunch of Old, Weak, Sick, and Disabled like them could not possibly beat the Snow Empress to it, and could only watch helplessly as such a supreme treasure was seized.

The Snow Empress glanced at Huo Yuhao in surprise, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Tian Meng told you, didn't he? This so-called deal is his plan as well?"

For a mere Soul Grandmaster like Huo Yuhao to dare come to the Extreme North, he had most likely been incited by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Now he was even risking his life to make a deal with her. No matter how she looked at it, this could not be unrelated to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Moreover, Tian Meng had inexplicably become a Million Year Soul Beast, which had always been a mystery that puzzled many soul beasts of the Extreme North. Now, she seemed to know the answer.

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded without changing expression, allowing the Snow Empress to misunderstand. "Brother Sky Dream said that you, like the Ice Emperor, are not far from your limit, and that Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow would be useful to you in surviving your lightning tribulation."

"..."

For a moment, the Snow Empress was speechless, her delicate brows tightly furrowed.

Seeing that the Snow Empress did not refuse right away, Huo Yuhao's expression eased.

As far as he knew, after the Snow Empress failed in her attempt at the Yin Yang Complementary Soul Core, her origin had suffered severe damage. Ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could not make up for it at all, leaving her powerless to break through the Seven Hundred Thousand Years Heavenly Tribulation. That was why she had decided to transform into human form.

But if she obtained enough Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow... Forget the Seven Hundred Thousand Years Heavenly Tribulation—even the Eight Hundred Thousand Years Heavenly Tribulation was something the Snow Empress could attempt!

On the other side, after thinking for a moment, the Snow Empress sighed inwardly.

This deal was indeed one she could not refuse.

The Snow Empress put away her killing intent and stared at Huo Yuhao. "Why make a deal with me? If you kept the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, the success rate of the God Creation Plan would increase even further."

Huo Yuhao first glanced subtly at the snowstorm-filled sky, then directly answered the Snow Empress's question.

"Opportunities are prepared for the living. Once someone dies, nothing is left. And in this world, there are things more terrifying than death."

"I don't want to be manipulated by others forever, but it will take time for me to truly grow, so I came to you. I hope to exchange the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow for your protection and the friendship of the Far North!"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao thought back to everything he had experienced after leaving the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

On the way to find his cheat, he had run into the Tang Sect master and disciple by chance.

He went to join a small academy to learn the necessary knowledge, only to run into a certain young lord Wang on the street.

While studying at the academy, he accidentally discovered records of the Tang Sect's former glory, then found out that the academy had been founded by someone from the Tang Sect...

All kinds of signs showed that even though his way of acting was already completely different from the original Huo Yuhao's, and even though he had avoided the core of the conflict, Great Buddha Tang still had not let him go!

Blue Silver Grass Entanglement was still chasing him!

But what could he do after realizing that?

That man was a God King, and most of the other God Kings in the Divine Realm leaned toward him. Only Destruction disagreed with him.

But would the Destruction God King help him because of that, or give him a god position?

Heh. Wishful thinking.

Forget the Destruction God Position—if he did not pledge loyalty to Tang San, even the Emotion God Position could not possibly be handed to him safely.

All kinds of realities were telling Huo Yuhao that even becoming a god would not let him escape his shackles.

The only way out was to remain on Douluo Continent.

In this life, he would not become a god. He would quietly wait for the storm to rise!
