Inside the underground space of the Golden Tree, the aftershocks of the first meeting between the two Snow Empress, one large and one small, had just subsided, leaving behind an awkward and strange atmosphere.
Lin Mo himself was completely unaffected, still wearing his signature smile that seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.
Even the light on the surface of the Snow Empress Embryo not far away began to flicker, clearly digesting the facts before it.
"You're still watching?" Snow Empress finally couldn't help but speak up.
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, his smile undiminished, "Such a good show, wouldn't it be a waste not to watch?"
Snow Empress took a deep breath, forcing herself to ignore Lin Mo's amused expression, and reached up to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, whispering:
"Are you deliberately trying to make a fool of me?"
At this point, Snow Empress was almost dying of shame and indignation, her delicate face flushed crimson.
Right now, the only thing that makes her feel fortunate is that, for the time being, only she and Lin Mo know who the unfortunate soul sealed inside the God Sealing Platform is.
Lin Mo withdrew his gaze from the Snow Empress Embryo with satisfaction, then looked at the Snow Empress with interest and said, "How can you say that?"
"Haven't I already done my best to Protect face for you?"
You see, right now, only you and I know who is sealed in the Conferred God Sealing Platform.
"This matter is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me, and at most, she knows as well."
At this point, Lin Mo pointed to the Snow Empress Embryo not far away.
"If you don't tell and I don't tell, how could anyone else know that the dignified Snow Empress was accidentally tricked by a human Soul Master and sealed in the God Sealing Platform, being auctioned off like an object?"
"Hmm..."
"That's not quite right either. It's not you who's sealed away, but you ten thousand years in the future, another unfortunate soul..."
"I... thank you so much!" Snow Empress said through gritted teeth.
Lin Mo nodded with a smile, appearing completely at ease. "Yes, you're welcome."
After a few simple jokes, the atmosphere on the field eased a little.
The Snow Empress suppressed her overflowing emotions and returned to her aloof and ethereal demeanor.
However, when she saw the Snow Empress Embryo not far away, her mind was still filled with many thoughts.
The Snow Empress Embryo standing to the side was completely dumbfounded.
The light on the surface of that white mass of energy flickered violently, and the consciousness within was operating wildly.
Who am I? Where am I?
Can someone explain to me what's going on?
It feels great to go from hell to heaven in an instant.
Just moments ago, she was desperately awaiting her fate at the God Sealing Platform.
But the next second, the God Sealing Platform was opened.
She is free.
But why isn't there someone who looks exactly like her in the distance?
Moreover, judging from the content of her conversation with this human, it seems that this person is not an imposter, but is indeed her.
However, it's not the current her, but the her from ten thousand years ago!
This realization completely threw the Snow Empress Embryo into disarray.
Lin Mo observed the Snow Empress Embryo's reaction, abandoned his joking thoughts, and pointed at the Snow Empress Embryo:
"Go and explain to her the whole story."
She still seems quite confused.
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Snow Empress took a deep breath, then moved swiftly to the side of Snow Empress Embryo, and gently explained the current situation to her.
Soon after, the Psywave emanating from the Snow Empress Embryo had calmed down considerably, though she was still somewhat dazed.
The amount of information was so vast that she needed time to process it.
It's me from ten thousand years ago, yes, but from another world.
Parallel worlds, different choices, different fates.
Thinking of this, the Snow Empress Embryo couldn't help but sigh.
It took me a long time to mentally prepare myself before choosing to start over on the path of adulthood.
Unexpectedly, it was captured by humans at the crucial moment of transforming into an embryo and sealed inside this despicable God Sealing Platform.
Fortunately, I was saved by my other self; otherwise, I would have suffered unprecedented humiliation!
Given her pride, and considering the previous setback she suffered, she would never choose to merge with a human!
With her volatile temper, if anyone dares to release her from the God Sealing Platform, she will unleash the power she has accumulated over 700,000 years without hesitation, and perish together with humanity!
A wave of lingering fear washed over the Snow Empress Embryo.
But before she could express her gratitude, another thought took over!
etc!
wrong!
This version of myself is from ten thousand years ago; she should feel the same deep hatred for humanity as I do!
But why is she with this human man?
Moreover, judging from their way of interacting, they are clearly very close!
Realizing this, the Snow Empress Embryo's Psywave suddenly changed again, and the emotional fluctuations it emitted were full of contempt.
She even directly invoked her primordial power to condense a phantom image in the shape of a young girl.
The girl's illusory figure appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long, snow-white hair that reached her waist, and her icy blue eyes filled with rage.
She pointed at the Snow Empress not far away, glaring angrily, and rebuked, "No, even so, you shouldn't..."
You actually chose to associate with humans!
I never imagined that the dignified Snow Empress would actually... actually commit bestiality!
The Snow Empress outside was taken aback at first, but quickly became amused by this absurd accusation.
This was the first time she had ever been insulted like this.
The person who insulted her was actually herself.
What is this? Insulting yourself?
She laughed in fury, her beautiful face contorted with absurdity, and pointed at herself. "Who are you calling a bestial being? Me?"
"Who else could it be?!"
The young girl, Snow Empress, crossed her arms and looked at Snow Empress with an air of self-righteousness, then gestured with her lips in the direction of Lin Mo.
"Does this even need explaining? Otherwise, how could you, the ruler of the Far North, be with a human?"
Not only are they inseparable, but she also obeys his every word.
The young Snow Empress grew angrier as she spoke, her delicate face filled with a look of disappointment and frustration.
"If you haven't colluded with this human, then what are you?!"
"Hey, hey, hey, use more polite language."
Lin Mo, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, immediately retorted, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
This has nothing to do with me; Snow Empress and I are innocent.
Our relationship can only be described as a cooperative one at best.
Yes, it's purely a cooperative relationship!
Lin Mo shrugged, looking completely innocent.
"A cooperative relationship?" Snow Empress raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lin Mo.
"Innocence? Hah!"
Seeing this, the young Snow Empress scoffed, clearly not believing Lin Mo and Snow Empress's explanation.
Snow Empress took a deep breath, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
Arguing with another version of herself felt more exhausting than when she was managing the entire Far North.
Soon, her gaze darted back and forth between Lin Mo and the girl, then fell upon another version of herself not far away, a potential powder keg ready to explode at any moment.
It's incredibly troublesome.
The brief farce is over, and now more practical problems are facing her.
What should we do with this guy?
The Snow Empress rubbed his temples, looked down at Lin Mo, and said wearily, " Lin Mo, tell me, given her current state, what do you plan to do with her?"
"Should we help her complete the unfinished step of her transformation, allowing her to regain her human form?"
Upon hearing this, even the phantom formed from the Snow Empress Embryo showed a hint of tension on its face.
Although this man and his other self have a cooperative relationship.
He himself was likely to be fine, but it was clear that the man held the absolute dominant position between the two.
His own fate will most likely be decided by him.
Lin Mo shook his head, his tone exceptionally resolute. "Returning to human form, though seemingly a bright path, is still a dead end, with absolutely no possibility of success."
Even if he were to truly be reborn as a human, he could only cultivate to the Level 99 Limit Douluo realm!
But Soul Beast is still Soul Beast after all; once Soul Beast, always Soul Beast!
Even if one were to be reborn as a human, it would still be impossible to break through the limitations of the rules on one's own, be accepted by the Divine Realm, ascend to the Divine Realm, and become a divine beast!
At this point, Lin Mo sighed, "The two Soul Beast who chose to be reborn as humans ten thousand years ago were Xiao Wu, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, and Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor."
The reason they were able to ascend to the Divine Realm and achieve immortality in this world wasn't because they gained the Divine Realm's approval by virtue of their Soul Beast forms, but rather because of the Sea God Tang San...
Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress shifted his gaze to the young Snow Empress beside him and asked:
"But compared to rebirth as a human, can one ultimately become a god?"
I am still a relatively good version of myself. How did you manage to regain human form with nearly 700,000 years of cultivation?
This is also the main reason why she had never imagined that the Soul Beast embryo was hers.
Normally, Soul Beast can only choose to be reborn as a human once its cultivation reaches 100,000 years, before the Heavenly Tribulation arrives.
Will they be reborn as humans, or will they face the Heavenly Tribulation and continue cultivating as Soul Beast?
This is a fork in the road; whichever path you choose, it's like cutting yourself off from the previous one!
But the fact that this other version of herself could turn around and choose another path made Snow Empress even happier.
How did she do it?
Unexpectedly, the young girl Snow Empress was no longer as irritable as before, but calmly answered Snow Empress's question.
"I found a Snow Lotus of 100,000 years old. Using this Snow Lotus as a guide, I completed the sealing of my cultivation. That's why I was able to regain my human form by chance..."
At this point, the young Snow Empress's tone was full of self-deprecation. "But I never imagined that at the most crucial stage of transforming into human form..."
The secluded cultivation spot I found, which should have been foolproof, was suddenly invaded by a group of humans, who happened to possess the God Sealing Platform, capable of completely sealing me within it, leaving me defenseless!
The Snow Empress remained silent.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but glance back and forth between the Snow Empress and the young Snow Empress. Soon, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the large piece of Gold of Life that had already fused with the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife.
His brows twitched, a glint of gold flashed in his eyes, and a bold, almost insane idea instantly formed in his mind.
Since the two pieces of Gold of Life can be successfully fused...
Then why can't the powers of two Snow Empress, which share the same origin, work together?
Lin Mo's gaze shifted back and forth between the Snow Empress and the young Snow Empress, and the more he looked, the more feasible the idea seemed.
They are the same person, with completely identical fundamental powers, so theoretically there is no possibility of any repulsion between them.
Lin Mo's breathing became slightly rapid.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo flashed and suddenly appeared beside the Snow Empress Embryo, reaching out and piercing into the white aura that the Snow Empress Embryo had transformed into.
"What are you doing?!" The phantom of the young Snow Empress was suddenly stunned, then her face was filled with shame and indignation.
The illusory figure she manifested was merely a means to better communicate with Snow Empress and Lin Mo.
Her true form remains this embryonic mass resembling a wisp of air.
Lin Mo's reckless actions are like inserting a red-hot iron rod directly into her body, stirring it around everywhere.
The sudden sensation of something foreign made her extremely uncomfortable.
"Quiet down, both of you!" Lin Mo said.
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable power.
As Lin Mo finished speaking, an invisible wave suddenly swept past the Snow Empress Embryo, centered on Lin Mo, and directly suppressed her resistance.
At the same time, ten Soul Ring suddenly appeared beneath Lin Mo's feet.
Six reds, two golds, one red, and one gold!
This exaggerated Soul Ring Configuration stunned the young Snow Empress, causing her to momentarily forget even the strange sensation within her body.
Her eyes widened as she stared intently at the ten Soul Ring beneath Lin Mo's feet.
The young girl, Snow Empress, was completely blank.
Gods!
This unreliable young human who claims to be a collaborator of the Snow Empress is actually a god!
Soon, an even more horrifying scene unfolded for the young girl, Snow Empress.
The hand that the deity had extended into her body suddenly exerted a powerful suction force, frantically devouring everything about her.
Her primordial power, accumulated over nearly seven hundred thousand years, flowed uncontrollably into Lin Mo's body through his hand.
She desperately wanted to resist, but under the oppressive power of that god, she couldn't even move an inch and could only let Lin Mo do as he pleased.
Soon, as time passed, the third Red Soul Ring under Lin Mo's feet suddenly lit up.
The golden and red light almost filled the entire underground space of the Golden Tree.
The aura of this Soul Ring continues to rise, and the golden patterns are gradually increasing!
The eighth golden line appears!
The ninth golden line appears!
However, as the aura and strength of the Soul Ring continued to rise, the Snow Empress's true form, the Snow Empress Embryo, visibly shrank considerably.
Soon, the aura of the Snow Empress Embryo plummeted to its lowest point, and all the primordial power within her body was devoured by Lin Mo in an almost predatory manner!
The phantom of the young Snow Empress had become almost transparent and was on the verge of collapse.
At that moment, the tenth golden pattern suddenly appeared!
Having witnessed all of this, the Snow Empress's pupils constricted, and she exclaimed instinctively, "This is Million-Year Soul Ring?!"
The Third Soul Ring she provided to Lin Mo was actually upgraded to a million-year-old God-Level Soul Ring ring in this way!
Thinking of this, Snow Empress's gaze couldn't help but drift towards Lin Mo's slightly glowing right leg.
Not only was her Soul Ring upgraded to the God Level, but the 700,000-year-quality Snow Empress Right Leg Bone that she bestowed upon Lin Mo also seemed to have been upgraded to the million-year-level God-Level Soul Bone!
Having done all this, Lin Mo felt the new soul sleeping within the Soul Ring, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Just as he had predicted, the powers between the Snow Empress Snow Empress indeed be fused!
Directly synthesize Two-Star Snow Empress!
God-Level Snow Empress Soul Ring and God-Level Snow Empress Soul Bone!
