Title: Spirit Ice Douluo!

Holy shit!

Was it really that outrageous?

So the divine thoughts of the Life God King and the Destruction God King had come from the distant future—and they were merely remnants left after the two had burned their Power of Creation.

Space-Time Turbulence, the Tang Family Divine Realm... That was a lot to take in!

For a moment, Huo Yuhao could barely process it all.

"You understand the basic situation now. Listen carefully to what comes next."

Just as Huo Yuhao became absorbed in the story, the Life God King spoke again. "First, stop Tang San from destroying the Rakshasa and Angel Divinities. The power of their rules must be restored to the Divine Realm."

"Stop Tang San from destroying those two Divinities?"

Huo Yuhao gave an awkward grimace. "Can I really do that? What if I kill him before he gets the chance?"

"No."

The Destruction God King added, "Killing Tang San outright would lead to an even worse outcome. I can't tell you much more. If I did, we might lose our only chance to turn things around."

Uh...

Huo Yuhao could only nod helplessly to show he had committed it to memory.

The Life God King continued, "Second, for certain reasons, Soul Beasts have been cursed and cannot become gods on their own. You must use Qiu'er's identity to work with the Soul Beasts, establish a Soul Spirit system, and bring the powerful Beast Gods into the Divine Realm through symbiosis. Help them establish Beast God Divinities."

"Third."

The Destruction God King took over. "This is the most crucial step. You must stop the first Evil and Good God Kings from leaving the Divine Realm and have them help you expand it. The Divine Realm as it stands is only a fragment left when the Dragon God's Divine Realm shattered. Your task is to gather the rules and powers of every attribute from the Human God Divinities and Beast God Divinities, then use them to expand the Divine Realm. Only the strongest possible Divine Realm can withstand the Space-Time Turbulence..."

"We don't have much time. When your cultivation reaches Limit Douluo, the Life God King and I, who are still in the Divine Realm at this point, will sense the aura we've left on you. From then on, everything will depend on you..."

His voice faded.

The Life God King and the Destruction God King exchanged a satisfied look, then vanished into the depths of Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness.

Wait.

He still had so many questions.

How could they just disappear?

There was far too much information for Huo Yuhao to process at once. One thing, at least, was clear: this was a desperate gamble the two God Kings had made at the very end of their lives.

The next second,

before Huo Yuhao could think any further, his spiritual world collapsed, and his mind went blank...

Douluo Calendar, year 2645.

The heart of the Far North Ice Plains.

Two figures, one large and one small, stared with furrowed brows at Huo Yuhao, who had fallen from the sky into the snow.

Though he looked somewhat disheveled, his tall build was unmistakable. He was handsome and dashing, with a commanding bearing and a heroic air touched by an otherworldly grace.

As awareness slowly returned, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes. At the sight of the familiar Far North landscape, he could not help murmuring, "I really was sent back?"

Then he spotted two familiar figures standing guard not far away, and his pupils contracted.

One had snow-white hair that flowed down her back to her feet. Her slender figure was flawless, and her plain white dress bore not a single ornament. Her sky-blue eyes were clear and ethereal, as though they could see through everything in the world.

The other was just as lovely, though there was less pride in her bearing and more icy allure. Four emerald-green markings adorned each side of her fair face. Dark green hair fell down her back, and a faint green light seemed to flow beneath her skin.

Who else could these two women be?

None other than the Ice and Snow Emperors.

"Snow Empress! Ice Empress!"

Huo Yuhao sprang to his feet, his face alight with excitement. "It's so good to see you both safe..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

His heart gave a sudden lurch. This was the Douluo Continent of ten thousand years ago. Neither of them knew him yet!

He had gotten too excited!

The Ice and Snow Emperors were equally stunned.

They had lived in the Far North for hundreds of thousands of years, and they could count the humans they had met on their fingers. They were certain they had never seen this man, yet he knew their titles. If they had not sensed the auras of their true bodies on him, he might never have woken up at all. The Ice Empress, in particular, had an instinctive loathing for humans.

Before Huo Yuhao could ask anything, the Snow Empress's ethereal, icy voice rang out. "Human Soul Master, the Far North is no place for you to trespass. I will spare your life in consideration of how hard you have cultivated. Leave at once!"

"Uh..."

Huo Yuhao scratched his head awkwardly before speaking again. "Snow Empress, I don't know how to explain some things to you, but one day, we'll be the best of companions."

"Of course, I wouldn't mind getting to know you all over again!"

"My name is Huo Yuhao. My title: Spirit Ice Douluo!"

A Titled Douluo?!

The Ice and Snow Emperors were already on guard. When they heard Huo Yuhao was a Titled Douluo, their faces turned colder still.

The Snow Empress took a deep breath and parted her red lips. "Get out. Or die!"

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Blunt.

Straight to the point.

On the Douluo Continent of ten thousand years ago, the conflict between Soul Beasts and human Soul Masters was irreconcilable.

The Snow Empress was already being courteous by merely telling Huo Yuhao to get out.

Now Huo Yuhao was at a complete loss.

"Roar!"

Just as Huo Yuhao wondered how to explain himself, an enraged beast's roar erupted from the mountains below.

An enormous Ice Bear charged out of the mountains, its massive body like a small hill. Even running on all fours, it stood more than fifteen meters tall. Thick fur covered its hulking frame, and its white coat gave off a faint silvery sheen.

It was the Ice Bear King Xiaobai of the Far North, whose cultivation was nearly three hundred thousand years.

Before the Ice and Snow Emperors could react, the Ice Bear King Xiaobai launched himself off the ground like a cannonball and hurtled toward Huo Yuhao, roaring.

He had taken Huo Yuhao for an intruder and flown into a frenzy.

"Xiaobai!"

"Xiaobai, stop!"

Several startled cries rang out almost at once.

Even the Snow Empress shouted for him to stop, but it was too late.

Faced with the sudden attack, Huo Yuhao felt no fear. Seeing his old companion again filled him with an inexplicable sense of fulfillment. When he had fought Di Tian, his Soul Spirits' essence had been completely exhausted, and Xiaobai and the others had fallen into a deep sleep.

Even so, he could not simply stand there and take Xiaobai's attack.

Fifth Soul Skill—Spiritual Replication!

At a thought, Huo Yuhao silently activated his Spiritual Eyes' fifth Soul Skill and threw a punch, leaving the Ice and Snow Emperors staring in shock.

Had he gone mad?!

This human Soul Master dared to clash head-on with Xiaobai!

He was courting death!

But what happened next made their jaws drop.

Boom!

A shockwave burst from the point where Huo Yuhao's fist met the Ice Bear King's paw.

A pained roar rang out overhead. The punch had only halted the Ice Bear King's charge; it had done him no real harm.

The Spiritual Eyes' fifth Soul Skill could replicate an opponent's Soul Skill the instant they used it. Because the replication was accomplished entirely through Spiritual Power, it was unaffected by attributes.

"Xiaobai, don't be rash! Let's talk this out!" Huo Yuhao called urgently.

But Xiaobai was impulsive by nature. He had no intention of giving Huo Yuhao a chance to explain. The instant he landed, he sprang up again, his massive bear paw sweeping straight toward Huo Yuhao's head.
