Snow Empress's Reward Revealed! The Heavenly Snow Woman Transforms

The Snow Empress stood to one side.

She knew Long Yao never granted power lightly.

But anyone who earned his approval could receive a legacy truly suited to them.

That was why she had always followed Long Yao.

High in the sky,

the image gradually blurred.

The black-and-gold figure stood with the Snow Empress and Ice Empress amid a blizzard.

Golden light enveloped all three.

Words slowly appeared on the Golden Ranking.

[God-Given Soul Skill: Absolute Zero.]

[Can freeze space and time.]

[Can seal an enemy's Spiritual Origin.]

[Bestowed by: the headmaster of Skywater Academy.]

[Strength: above God Level.]

The final line appeared.

Shock swept across Douluo Continent once more.

"Above God Level?"

"The Golden Ranking says he's above God Level?"

"Is there a realm beyond God Level even in the Divine Realm?"

"Who is this man?"

"Why has no one ever heard of someone like him?"

In the Sun Moon Empire,

the Evil Emperor stared at the final line in the sky.

All its doubts were gone.

Someone above God Level had personally bestowed a God Level Soul Skill.

That was power it could not hope to match.

After a long silence, the Evil Emperor said,

"I concede."

It no longer disputed the Snow Empress's ranking.

The Snow Empress possessed Absolute Zero.

And Absolute Zero had come from someone above God Level.

Its defeat was undeniable.

"How could I compete with a God-Given Soul Skill?"

The Evil Emperor closed its single eye.

At last, it understood. The gulf between it and the Snow Empress was not the difference between seven hundred thousand years of cultivation and more than eight hundred thousand.

It was the existence standing behind the Snow Empress—someone far beyond its reach.

At Skywater Academy,

Shui Bing'er stared at the words on the Golden Ranking, unable to recover for a long time.

Shui Yue'er also looked up at the black-and-gold figure.

For the first time, they learned that Long Yao was more than Skywater Academy's headmaster.

His strength surpassed even God Level.

Shui Yuerou turned to Long Yao beside her.

"Headmaster, is that really you on the Golden Ranking?"

Long Yao did not deny it.

"Yes."

Shui Bing'er drew a quiet breath.

She had already guessed the answer.

But hearing Long Yao confirm it still shook her deeply.

He could bestow a God Level Soul Skill.

He could break frozen space and time with one finger.

Such power was beyond their understanding.

Long Yao looked up at the sky.

The Golden Ranking's display had not quite ended.

"Keep watching."

His expression remained calm.

The account of the Snow Empress was not yet complete.

In the image,

the Snow Empress and Ice Empress stood on the ice fields.

They watched the direction in which Long Yao had departed.

The Snow Empress withdrew her Martial Soul.

The Ice Empress lowered both pincers.

The two mighty Soul Beasts of the Far North bowed together.

Their eyes held nothing but respect and admiration for Long Yao.

Golden words appeared once more.

[The source of the Snow Empress's increased strength.]

[Absolute Zero was bestowed by the mysterious powerhouse Long Yao.]

[The Snow Empress and Ice Empress are both followers of Long Yao.]

For the first time, Long Yao's name appeared on the Golden Ranking.

In an instant,

every eye across the continent fixed on that name.

"Long Yao?"

"So that's the mysterious powerhouse's name?"

"He isn't a god, yet he's stronger than God Level?"

"What exactly is his relationship with the Snow Empress?"

In the palace of the Heaven Dou Empire,

Emperor Xue Ye regarded the name on the Golden Ranking with a grave expression.

"Long Yao."

He had never heard the name before.

Yet this man had surpassed every known powerhouse on the continent.

If someone like him chose to support a faction, the balance of the entire continent would change.

In the Star Luo Empire,

the emperor stood before his palace, his gaze fixed on Long Yao's name.

"Investigate Long Yao at once."

A guard bowed his head in acknowledgment.

Inside Spirit Hall,

Bibi Dong looked up at the Golden Ranking.

She finally understood how Skywater Academy had endured for thousands of years.

She also understood who was behind its True Dragon Tower.

Long Yao.

A powerhouse above God Level.

The one followed by the Snow Empress and Ice Empress.

That power was enough to make Spirit Hall take him seriously.

In the Star Dou Great Forest,

Gu Yuena studied the name on the Golden Ranking.

The sense that she knew him grew clearer than ever.

"Long Yao."

Gu Yuena spoke the name aloud.

Beside her, Di Tian bowed his head. "My lord, do you know him?"

Gu Yuena did not answer.

Her gaze stayed on the black-and-gold figure in the sky.

The aura of the Dragon Clan.

Power beyond God Level.

And the God-Given Soul Skill possessed by the Snow Empress.

Everything led back to this man.

Yet she had never encountered the name Long Yao in her memories.

Gu Yuena raised her eyes.

"I will find him."

High in the sky,

Long Yao's figure gradually faded.

The account of the Snow Empress was drawing to a close.

The various factions all looked up at the Golden Ranking.

They now knew Long Yao's name.

But they did not know where this mysterious powerhouse would rank.

Someone who could bestow a God Level Soul Skill and break frozen space and time with a single finger—

would he appear on the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking too?

Golden light raced across the ranking.

The Snow Empress's name remained in seventh place.

The words describing her slowly vanished.

One final line of gold lingered in the heavens.

[Snow Empress: seventh place.]

[Reward distribution imminent.]

The entire continent fell silent again.

The Snow Empress looked up at the Golden Ranking.

The Ice Empress stood beside her, her eyes full of anticipation.

The Evil Emperor opened its single eye again.

Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, Gu Yuena, and the powerhouses of every major faction all waited for the Heavenly Dao reward to appear.

High in the sky,

three clusters of light began to form.

Golden radiance illuminated the Far North.

The Snow Empress's reward had arrived.

High in the heavens,

three golden clusters of light slowly descended.

Within one of them, a vast Ice and Snow Origin swirled without end.

The other two drew together.

Their golden light merged, gradually forming a snow-white Divine Seal.

At its center lay a miniature Far North.

Snow-capped mountains, glaciers, and frozen seas—

every detail looked lifelike.

On the Golden Ranking,

lines of text slowly appeared.

[Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking, seventh place: Heavenly Snow Woman, the Snow Empress.]

[Reward: three hundred thousand years of cultivation.]

[Reward: special Godhood, God of the Far North.]

The instant the golden words appeared,

all of Douluo Continent fell silent.

A moment later,

voices erupted beneath the sky.

"Three hundred thousand years of cultivation?"

"The Snow Empress already had seven hundred thousand years!"

"Add those together, and won't she reach a million years outright?"

"Million-Year Soul Beast!"

"The Evil Emperor gained two hundred thousand years of cultivation, bringing him close to a million."

"But the Snow Empress gained three hundred thousand years outright!"

"And a special Godhood!"

"The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking can grant a Godhood directly?"

Lines of golden text swept across the sky.

Countless Soul Masters stared at the snow-white Divine Seal, shock filling their eyes.

A Godhood.

To the living beings of Douluo Continent, it was more precious than a divine artifact.

Possessing a divine artifact did not mean one could become a god.

Possessing a Godhood, however, meant one had truly set foot on the path to godhood.

The Golden Ranking's light continued to flow.

Details about the God of the Far North appeared in the sky, one after another.

[God of the Far North.]

[Godhood exclusive to the Far North.]

[This Godhood is connected to the Far North Origin.]

[Its inheritor can command the Far North's ice and snow, ley lines, and Heaven and Earth Elements.]

[Within the Far North, its inheritor receives the protection of heaven and earth.]

[As long as the Far North endures, this Godhood cannot be destroyed.]

The final line appeared.

The discussion beneath the sky fell silent.

Many Soul Masters looked up at the Golden Ranking, their breathing slowing.

A moment later.

More comments appeared in quick succession.

"What kind of Godhood is this?"

"The God of the Far North can only wield its full power in the Far North."

"That's terrifying enough!"

"The Snow Empress already ruled the Far North."

"Now that she has the God of the Far North Divine Position, who would dare enter the Far North?"

"A million years of cultivation, a God Level Soul Skill, and the God of the Far North Divine Position."

"These rewards are getting more and more absurd!"

"The Evil Emperor got a divine artifact, but the Snow Empress got a Godhood outright."

"What will those ranked above the Snow Empress receive?"

Spirit Hall.

Before the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong looked up at the snow-white Divine Seal.

Her gaze lingered on it.

Three hundred thousand years of cultivation was certainly precious.

But what truly mattered to her was the God of the Far North Divine Position.

To inherit the Rakshasa Godhood, Bibi Dong had endured years of trials.

The Rakshasa Divine Power constantly eroded her mind.

Every trial carried tremendous danger.

Even so, she had yet to complete the inheritance.

The Snow Empress was different.

The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking had granted her a Godhood directly.

She did not need to seek out a place of inheritance.

She did not need a god's recognition.

Nor did she need to complete any divine trials.

Once she fused the Godhood with the Far North Origin, the Snow Empress could become the God of the Far North.

Bibi Dong's fingers settled lightly on the Pope's Scepter.

"A Godhood granted outright."

"How much of its power has the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking yet to reveal?"

Qian Daoliu was also watching the sky.

He knew better than anyone what inheriting a Godhood demanded.

To inherit the Angel Godhood, Qian Renxue had to complete the Angel God Trials one by one.

And at the very end.

He, the Great Enshrined of the Angel God, would have to sacrifice himself to open her path to godhood.

But the God of the Far North Divine Position granted to the Snow Empress carried no such restriction.

Golden Crocodile Douluo turned to Qian Daoliu.

"Great Enshrined, which is stronger: the God of the Far North or the Angel God?"

Qian Daoliu fell silent for a moment.

"Outside the Far North, the Angel God might not lose."

"But if they fought in the Far North..."

He said no more.

Bibi Dong looked at the Snow Empress's name, envy flickering deep in her eyes.

If she had received a special Godhood like this.

The Rakshasa God would never be able to influence her again.

Nor would she have to keep enduring the erosion of that evil will.

"The Snow Empress is fortunate indeed."

"..."

Bibi Dong looked away.

She said nothing more about hunting the Snow Empress.

Even before receiving her rewards, the Snow Empress possessed Absolute Zero.

Now she had reached a million years of cultivation and obtained the God of the Far North Divine Position.

Going to the Far North to hunt her would be suicide.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Beside the Lake of Life.

Di Tian stared at the two rewards in the sky for a long time without speaking.

Three hundred thousand years of cultivation.

The God of the Far North Divine Position.

Either one would be enough to change his fate.

Di Tian had cultivated for over eight hundred thousand years.

He had survived several heavenly tribulations.

The next would be even more powerful than those before it.

With three hundred thousand years of cultivation, he could cross the million-year threshold outright.

With a special Godhood like the God of the Far North Divine Position, he would no longer be suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth.

Xiong Jun looked at the Snow Empress's name.

"She reached a million years of cultivation just like that."

"The Golden Ranking has been generous to the Snow Empress."

All three of the Scarlet King's heads rose at once.

"The Evil Emperor received two hundred thousand years of cultivation."

"The Snow Empress received three hundred thousand."

"It seems the higher the rank, the greater the difference in rewards."

Di Tian spoke slowly.

"The truly precious reward isn't the three hundred thousand years of cultivation."

"It's that Godhood."

Xiong Jun turned to him.

"You want a Godhood too?"

"What Soul Beast wouldn't?"

Di Tian made no attempt to hide it.

Soul Beasts could not inherit Godhoods as humans did.

Even after cultivating for a million years, they might never enter the Divine Realm.

Even with God Level strength, they would still be rejected by the laws of heaven and earth.

Once the Snow Empress obtained the God of the Far North Divine Position, she would no longer need to worry about any of that.

As long as the Far North existed, she would have a foundation for her Godhood.

Gu Yuena stood on the lake's surface.

She studied the snow-white Divine Seal, her violet eyes thoughtful.

"This isn't a Godhood that already exists in the Divine Realm."

Di Tian turned around.

"My lord, this Godhood doesn't belong to the Divine Realm?"

"No."

Gu Yuena nodded lightly.

"The Godhoods of the Divine Realm are all connected to its core."

"The God of the Far North is different."

"It is connected to the Far North Origin. All its power comes from Douluo Continent."

Di Tian's expression shifted.

"Then the Snow Empress won't need to enter the Divine Realm after becoming a god?"

"She won't."

Gu Yuena raised her eyes to the Golden Ranking.

"If she wishes, she can remain in the Far North forever."

At those words.

The envy in the Soul Beasts' eyes became even more apparent.

Once a Soul Beast attained God Level strength, it would be bound by the rules of the Divine Realm.

Yet the Snow Empress could remain on Douluo Continent.

Not only would she escape suppression, she could continue growing stronger by drawing on the Far North's power.

This Godhood was made for Soul Beasts.

Gu Yuena looked toward the Far North.

"The rewards given by the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking seem to change according to each ranked individual."

"The Evil Emperor excels in spiritual power, so he received the Evil God Crown."

"The Snow Empress is the Lord of the Far North, so she received the God of the Far North Divine Position."

Di Tian's gaze sharpened.

"Rewards tailored to them?"

"It seems so."

Gu Yuena looked back at the sky.

If the remaining rewards were tailored in the same way.

Then those ranked higher would receive even more astonishing opportunities.

The Far North.

The snow stopped falling.

Every Soul Beast looked up at the sky.

The Snow Empress stood atop an ice platform.

A mass of light containing immense cultivation power entered her body first.

Boom!

The entire ice field shook violently.

A snow-white pillar of light shot into the sky.

Seven hundred thousand years.

Eight hundred thousand years.

Nine hundred thousand years.

One million years.

The Snow Empress's cultivation rose rapidly.

Her white hair streamed out in the wind.

A mark of ice and snow gradually formed in her pale blue eyes.

Once the Snow Empress reached a million years of cultivation, the Soul Power within her began to change.

The once-clear Ice and Snow Origin began to transform into something of a higher order.
