After Gu Shengge tore the seemingly indestructible ice before him apart to either side, he jumped straight down with Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
After falling several thousand meters, Ice Empress and Snow Empress gazed at the ice-crystal palace before them, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They had lived in the Far North for so many years, yet had never discovered this place.
Most importantly, even after Gu Shengge brought them here, they could not detect this place with their spiritual power.
"So... so beautiful!"
Gazing at the ice-crystal royal palace before her, the haughty little Ice Empress's eyes shone, filled with amazement.
Snow Empress, meanwhile, stared at the ice-crystal royal palace with a slightly distant look in her eyes, her thoughts unknown.
Looking at the royal palace before him, Gu Shengge's lips curved slightly upward.
I'll take this Divine God Inheritance of the Far North.
When he first sensed this place, Gu Shengge had already vaguely realized that this Divine God Inheritance was tailor-made for Xue'er, an inheritance meant for her alone.
After all, Xue'er was a special natural-born being nurtured by the Far North.
As Gu Shengge brought Ice Empress and Snow Empress to the palace gates, an ethereal voice rang out.
[Child, you have finally come.]
As the voice rang out, a figure appeared before Gu Shengge, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress.
The figure's features were indistinct, but her outline made it clear that she was female.
After all, her voice was a woman's voice.
After appearing, the figure went straight to Snow Empress and placed a hand atop her head, gently stroking it.
As the figure stroked her head, Snow Empress's eyes reddened slightly, tears welling in them.
She did not know why, but being stroked like this felt as though she were receiving a mother's love.
Yet she had clearly been born of heaven and nurtured by earth, a special being born in the Far North.
She clearly had no parents, so why could she feel a mother's love from this woman?
Looking at Snow Empress's reddened eyes, the figure before her said, "Child, you have suffered."
"I am the previous generation's Far North Innate Spirit."
"Only when one of our kind either becomes a god and transcends this world or perishes will the next generation be born."
"As for me, I have already transcended this world and gone to a higher plane."
"This is the inheritance I left behind. I hope that one day, we can meet on a higher plane."
"Child, I very much look forward to that day."
"The better plane I speak of is not the Divine Realm spoken of in this world's legends."
"Once you possess strength that surpasses this world, you will naturally come to understand all of this."
Looking at Snow Empress before her, the figure told her the secrets of this place.
As for Gu Shengge and Ice Empress standing nearby, she completely ignored them.
"Hey, bastard, are the two of us being ignored?"
Seeing that the figure completely ignored their presence, Ice Empress spoke indignantly, her cheeks puffed out.
"Looks like it."
Looking at the haughty little girl puffing out her cheeks beside him, Gu Shengge laughed.
"Bastard, are you laughing at me?!"
Hearing Gu Shengge's laughter, Ice Empress jumped up and clung to him, putting both hands around his neck as she tussled with him.
"No, absolutely not."
"I don't usually laugh."
"Unless it's really funny."
"Hahaha!"
Feeling Ice Empress's little hands around his neck, Gu Shengge could tell that she was not using any strength at all. Her hands felt more like a massage, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
Gu Shengge did not care at all that the figure ignored him and Ice Empress.
After all, as long as Xue'er benefited, such trivial matters did not matter.
You ignore me? I'll ignore you too.
While Gu Shengge and Ice Empress were playing around, the figure before Snow Empress touched a finger between her brows, then vanished.
After the figure disappeared, Snow Empress sat cross-legged on the ground and began absorbing the inheritance the figure's finger had imparted to her.
The inheritance Snow Empress received differed from the Divine God Inheritances of the Douluo Continent. She did not need to undergo any so-called Divine Examination, instead directly receiving her predecessor's cultivation inheritance and secret methods.
Moreover, that single touch had directly increased her cultivation by a hundred thousand years.
With Gu Shengge having previously helped her shed her old self and be reborn, and now with her predecessor's cultivation inheritance, Snow Empress's cultivation had reached eight hundred and thirty thousand years.
Perhaps because this place was isolated from the world outside, Snow Empress's Heavenly Tribulation did not arrive.
As Snow Empress sat cross-legged on the ground and began receiving the inheritance, Gu Shengge took Ice Empress straight into the palace.
[You are very strong. The aura you emanate does not belong here.]
After Gu Shengge entered the palace with Ice Empress, the figure's voice appeared in his mind.
Along with the voice, an icy beauty in an ice-blue dress appeared in Gu Shengge's mind.
"And?"
Looking at the icy beauty who had appeared in his mind, Gu Shengge tilted his head at her.
[You do not belong here. In the future, you will surely take that little one with you to a higher plane.]
[I hope that when we meet in the future, you can accompany me somewhere.]
[The opportunity there is very similar to the aura you emanate. It seems to be connected to you.]
[Without you, I cannot enter.]
[Inside, there is also an opportunity meant for me.]
!!!
Hearing this, Gu Shengge's eyes widened slightly.
The same aura as mine? Wouldn't that mean dragons?
It seems the plane this woman went to really is a higher plane.
Hearing her straightforward words, which concealed nothing at all, Gu Shengge nodded.
"All right. If I really do go to your plane, how will we get in touch?"
Hearing Gu Shengge's question, the icy beauty in his mind said, "After giving that girl her inheritance, I left a contact mark unique to our kind between her brows."
"Once you reach the plane where I am, I will sense it and come find you."
"All right."
Hearing Gu Shengge's reply, the icy beauty bowed to him. "I can be considered this girl's older sister as well. Sorry for the trouble, but I'll be leaving her in your care."
"Don't worry. With me, things will only get better and better for Xue'er."
"Thank you."
As her words fell, the icy beauty vanished from Gu Shengge's mind.
Gu Shengge looked at Ice Empress, who stood before him watching him anxiously. Seeing the worry in this haughty little girl's eyes, he laughed. "What's this? Is our haughty young lady worried about me?"
"Bastard, who's worried about you?"
"You bastard, you just stood there without moving after coming in here."
"I was afraid you'd die and leave me unable to take revenge with my own hands!"
Seeing Gu Shengge come to his senses and hearing his words, Ice Empress swatted away the large hand he had placed atop her head, folded her arms, and turned away from him, afraid that he might see something in her eyes.
