"Now, its time is almost up."
"I've already spoken with it. It's willing to become your fourth soul ring."
As she finished speaking, the Snow Empress sighed.
Watching one of her subjects approach death while she could do nothing left her heart heavy.
"Kree..."
The Frostfeather Eagle let out a long cry, but its voice lacked strength and gradually weakened.
The Ice Empress sensed the Frostfeather Eagle's aura and sighed. "Its soul is badly wounded. It only has a few days left."
This was the last Frostfeather Eagle in the Far North. Once it died, its entire species would become extinct, vanishing completely.

"In the future, there may still be hope of bringing you back to life."
"Kree..."

Gu Yunxiao wasted no time, swiftly and decisively ending the Frostfeather Eagle's life.

Perhaps their attributes were compatible, or perhaps the Frostfeather Eagle offered little resistance.
After only a few hours, Gu Yunxiao successfully finished fusing his fourth soul ring.
As the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring
