Ice God

Biodata

Background / History

Choosing a Successor

The Ice God previously observed Gu Linchuan as a potential inheritor but never contacted him. His Beast Martial Soul made him an unsatisfactory candidate, as the Ice God believed it would be difficult for him to complete the Nine Trials. Gu Wuchen instead possessed the desired combination of an ice attribute and a Tool Martial Soul 77.

The Ice God first contacted Gu Wuchen telepathically, instructing him to reach Soul King before visiting the Ice God Hall. After Gu Wuchen became eligible, the Ice God directed him through Ice God Valley and prohibited the Snow Empress from helping him. The valley’s serpent and ice dragon were both forms of the Ice Soul Sword, which tested Gu Wuchen before acknowledging him 51 70 76 77.

Upon meeting Gu Wuchen, the Ice God bestowed the Nine Trials through a beam of divine light between his eyebrows. The Ice God wanted the trials completed quickly: remaining in the Divine Realm had become tiresome, but its rules prevented departure without passing on the godhood 77.

Protecting the Inheritor

When the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings attacked Gu Wuchen beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Ice God manifested through the Ice Soul Sword and blocked their combined attack. The Ice God then presented Gu Wuchen as a possible route to their rebirth, persuading them to accept a soul contract 100 101.

Although the Dragon Kings expected an ordinary allegiance agreement, the Ice God restrained them and secretly taught Gu Wuchen how to impose a Master-Servant Contract. This secured two Demigod-level remnant souls as protectors while preventing them from threatening their much weaker master 101.

Later, the Sea God reported that he and the Asura God had consulted the Ice God about Gu Wuchen holding all three godhoods. Their powers would fuse without conflict, allowing the three gods to step down together and travel through the Divine Realm’s depths 116.

Appearance

• First personal appearance: A blue-haired man with strikingly cold features, wearing an icy-blue robe and sitting cross-legged in the Ice God Hall 77.
• Protective projection: An ice-blue phantom wearing an ice-white divine robe and an ice-crystal crown, surrounded by an unchanging cold presence 100.
• Trial manifestation: An illusory figure appearing above the iceberg that houses the Extreme Cold Trial Ground 108.

Personality

The Ice God combines an imposing divine presence with a casual, sometimes lazy manner. During the first meeting with Gu Wuchen, the Ice God smiles, stretches, and openly complains about being tired of the Divine Realm. Even the dangerous Third Trial is introduced with the reassurance that they merely need to “go through the proper steps” 77 150.

Protectiveness toward Gu Wuchen can take a calculating and coercive form. The Ice God deliberately conceals the nature of the Dragon Kings’ contract until their souls are bound, then dismisses their objections as necessary for the inheritor’s safety 101.

The Ice God also values Gu Wuchen’s ingenuity beyond cultivation, praising his business ideas and suggesting that the Gu Clan’s products could bring something new to the stagnant Divine Realm 109.

Abilities & Skills

Ice God Power

Divine ice power used for defense, restraint, and the inheritance’s techniques 100 101 109.

• Creates an ice wall capable of easily blocking the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ combined attack 100.
• Forms divine ice-blue chains that immobilize both Dragon Kings and resist the Fire Dragon King’s flames 101.

• Can be carefully controlled to nurture life rather than destroy it, as demonstrated through the Second Trial’s restoration of Ah Yin 128 130.
• Acts as a bridge between opposing dragon souls, allowing Gu Wuchen to harmonize Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire 150.

Divine Projection and Communication

The Ice God can communicate with Gu Wuchen mentally and appear through projections 51 100.

• Sends instructions directly into Gu Wuchen’s mind before their first meeting 51 70.
• Manifests from the Ice Soul Sword to intervene beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well 100.
• Appears at the trial ground and speaks separately with Bo Saixi while the participants train 108 109.

Soul Contracts

The Ice God knows a soul-imprinting art that establishes a Master-Servant Contract 101.

• Secretly teaches Gu Wuchen to place imprints inside the Dragon Kings’ soul origins 101.
• Gives the master control over the servants’ lives and deaths; disobedience can trigger soul-burning punishment 101.
• Binds the Dragon Kings’ survival to Gu Wuchen’s: if he dies, they die as well 151.

Inheritance Bestowal

The Ice God transmits the Nine Trials into the inheritor’s mind and oversees their requirements, evaluations, and rewards 77 109 130 151.

• Rewards include increased Soul Ring ages, divine skills, greater affinity with Ice God Power, and an exclusive domain 109 130 151.
• Supporting soul allies can also benefit, gaining stronger souls or the ability to take physical form 109 151.

Ice God Nine Trials

Only the first three completed trials are documented in the provided chapters 109 130 150.

Documented Rewards

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Ice Soul Sword — A sentient Super Divine Artifact that formerly fought alongside the Ice God. It guards Ice God Valley, assumes serpent and ice-dragon forms, and passes to Gu Wuchen after acknowledging him. It later serves as the medium for the Ice God’s protective projection 77 100.

Relationships

• Gu Wuchen — Chosen successor. The Ice God grants him the inheritance, protects him from the Dragon Kings, and guides his trials while urging him to complete the succession quickly 77 101 150 151.
• Gu Linchuan — Previously observed as a possible successor, but judged unsuitable because of his Beast Martial Soul. The Ice God never contacted him 77.
• Ice Soul Sword — Former companion in battle and guardian of the route to the Ice God Hall 77.
• Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King — Ancient Dragon Kings whose remnant souls the Ice God forcibly binds to Gu Wuchen. Their later physical restoration is intended to help them serve the successor more effectively 101 151.
• Snow Empress and Ice Empress — Essential participants in the First Trial. They receive divine rewards for helping Gu Wuchen form the Three-Extreme Ice Core 108 109.

• Sea God and Asura God — Fellow gods sharing Gu Wuchen as a prospective successor. They coordinate the compatibility of the three inheritances and plan to leave their positions together 116.
