Seeing the urgency in Bi Ji's eyes, Chi Hong took his time and said:
"I'll strengthen my companions first. Then it'll be your turn."
Ignoring Bi Ji's stunned expression, Chi Hong looked toward his four Pokémon, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress.
"Close your eyes and feel it."
He closed his eyes, and a rich emerald glow instantly radiated from his body.
At the same moment, the four Pokémon and the two empresses began to glow green as well. The seven seemed to form a life-giving array, evolving and growing stronger together.
Chi Hong was using the Meadow Plate to raise their level of life.
Thanks to their soul contracts, they could clearly feel the changes he brought about.
Chi Hong resembled an ancient tree of life. Six green branches extended from him, winding around the six beings bound to him by contract.
"Mmm~ Daddy, Xue'er feels like she's grown up again."
The little Snow Empress delighted in the changes she felt. Her body was growing more mature, and even the years of cultivation she had lost were rapidly returning.
The same was true for the Ice Empress. The gentle life force made her killing intent more restrained and steady, while the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion bloodline within her underwent a transformation, evolving step by step toward greater power.
"Even if I faced a five-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation now, I'm confident I could survive it."
The Ice Empress's gaze softened as she looked at Chi Hong, tears glimmering at the corners of her eyes. She felt luckier than ever to have had the chance to follow him.
He had not only allowed her to truly experience human emotions but had also shown her hope of becoming a god.
