This matter is actually quite simple; it's just a trip to the Far North.
With increased strength and the ability to traverse space, reaching the Far North quickly becomes inevitable.
"It's faster than I expected," Huo Yuhao said softly. His improved strength has made him more adept at spatial traversal, Far North is no longer an unreachable distance.
The Far North remains the same landscape, with snow falling everywhere and everything white, never changing. It is both beautiful and terrifyingly cold.
Currently guarding this place is Titan Snow Demon King, A-Tai, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.
Because of the specific location, Huo Yuhao only brought Snow Empress and Ice Empress with him, since they were both among the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.
Coming back to visit is like going home, just like the lyrics say, "Come home often~ Come home to visit."
We arrived here quickly.
They found Xiao Bai very quickly.
This is the core area of Far North, and it wouldn't be difficult for the Snow Empress to find Xiao Bai. At this time, the Titan Snow Demon King A-Tai is also here, and it seems that the two sides are deadlocked due to their race.
However, when the Snow Empress arrived, they didn't seem to react much.
Xiao Bai was very happy to see Snow Empress return, and of course, Ice Empress as well.
The Snow Empress first introduced Huo Yuhao to the Ice Bear King Xiaobai, saying, " Xiao Bai, this is your godfather."
The Ice Bear King tilted his head, his round eyes filled with confusion. "Dad?"
Huo Yuhao felt a wave of helplessness. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was used to calling his grandfather "grandfather" and had never been a father himself, so he wasn't used to it at all. His only son, Yunhan, hadn't even been born yet. Well, he had already made up his mind.
He said gently to Xiao Bai, " Xiao Bai, I am Snow Empress's lover, so there's nothing wrong with calling me Dad. However, you don't have to call me that if you don't want to; you can just call me by my name."
Ice Bear King Xiaobai was raised by Snow Empress, so he listens to Snow Empress very much. Snow Empress said that Huo Yuhao is his father, so Huo Yuhao is his father.
"Dad," Xiao Bai said, glancing at Snow Empress.
Huo Yuhao stopped dwelling on the matter.
" Snow Empress " Xiao Bai said to Snow Empress, "Where have you all been? Leaving me in the Far North is so boring!"
Snow Empress reached out and stroked Xiao Bai's soft fur, saying, " Xiao Bai Xiao Bai, I'm going to find your father. Your father will become a god someday, and I want to help him, so I'm staying by his side."
Xiao Bai's eyes lit up. "So that's how it is. Are you here to pick up Xiao Bai this time?"
"I'm here to pick you up, but," Snow Empress's voice paused, her fingers unconsciously tightening, " Xiao Bai, this time I want to give you a choice."
Xiao Bai tilted his head, "Choose?"
Snow Empress sighed softly, " Xiao Bai, now that my strength is gone, your clan will no longer be able to compete with A-Tai and the others."
Xiao Bai said, "Yes, yes."
Looking at Xiao Bai Bai's innocent and carefree appearance, Snow Empress's eyes flashed with a hint of pity. "I know this is cruel, Xiao Bai, but I'm going to pass on the right to be the next overlord of the Far North to A-Tai. You'll stay by my side."
Without hesitation, Xiao Bai replied, "Yes, Snow Empress, you raised me, you made me the emperor of the Ice Bear clan. If you want me to live, I will live; if you want me to die, I will die."
The Snow Empress said gently, "Silly boy, how could I let you die? You, like Bing'er and Yuhao, are my family. You are the child I raised."
"My child, Xiao Bai, by following me, you will embark on a path to godhood."
"The current ruler of the Soul Beast is preparing to restore his power and establish a new Divine Realm, a Divine Realm where even Soul Beast can become gods."
"I might ascend to heaven someday, and I don't want you to stay in the mortal realm forever. You will eventually become a god, Xiao Bai."
Xiao Bai's eyes widened suddenly. "Become a god? I can become a god too? That's amazing! Wow, wow, I want to become a god! Become a god!"
The Snow Empress's voice was gentle. " Xiao Bai, becoming a god isn't that simple. You need to establish your own Godhood. However, if you wish, your father, your Aunt Bing'er, and I will all help you."
Ice Bear King Xiaobai was a little confused. "Huh? Becoming a god is so troublesome?"
Snow Empress patiently explained to Xiao Bai, "Yes, Xiao Bai, but don't worry, I'll always be by your side."
Ice Bear King Xiaobai hung his head, his voice suddenly becoming softer. "Becoming a god is so troublesome, then, can I really become a god?"
Xiao Bai lacks confidence.
Snow Empress spoke up, "That's possible, but, Xiao Bai, there's another option."
Xiao Bai asked doubtfully, "Another option?"
The Snow Empress said, "That's right, it's about becoming your father's power, becoming his Soul Spirit. After your father ascends to the Divine Realm, you will also become a god."
Xiao Bai immediately perked up and said cheerfully, "This sounds simple! As long as I become Daddy's power, I can ascend to godhood!"
Ice Empress couldn't help but rub their forehead. " Xiao Bai is really one-dimensional."
Huo Yuhao walked over at this moment. He looked at Xiao Bai's huge body, stroked it, and said, " Xiao Bai, listen carefully. Choices are always made by yourself. Others' opinions are just a reference. The only person who can truly make the choice is yourself."
Even if you don't become my power, I will do everything in my power to make you a god.
" Xiao Bai, you're such a naive child. I want to hear your answer about what's on your mind."
Looking into Huo Yuhao's gentle eyes and feeling the warmth emanating from him, Ice Bear King Xiaobai nuzzled Huo Yuhao's hand with its fluffy head. "Daddy, I want to be your strength. I believe in you, Daddy, that you can definitely become a god."
This gave Xiao Bai a feeling similar to that of the Snow Empress, a feeling of kinship.
Huo Yuhao said, " Xiao Bai, thank you for your trust."
But at that moment, thunderclouds flashed across the sky, and a deafening roar broke their conversation. It seemed that Xiao Bai's time was about to come sooner than expected.
What a coincidence!
Or perhaps he's a chosen one, whose very existence is orchestrated by the very Heavenly Dao of the Douluo World the moment he acquires Soul Spirit, allowing Ice Bear King Xiaobai to reach 300,000 years of cultivation ahead of schedule.
Ice Bear King Xiaobai looked at the thunderclouds in the sky, wanting to greet them alone.
Snow Empress was worried and shielded Xiao Bai behind her, much to the amazement of Ice Empress.
Huo Yuhao walked up to Ice Bear King Xiaobai and Snow Empress, blocking their path.
His voice rang out softly. " Xue'er, Bing'er, Xiao Bai, step back."
Xiao Bai stared blankly at his godfather's back, that tall, white figure shining so brightly amidst the lightning.
Holding the Sword of Emotions, Huo Yuhao flicked his wrist, and a sword aura that stretched across the heavens and earth surged upwards, colliding violently with the falling lightning ball.
"Boom!"
A blinding white light exploded, and the first bolt of tribulation lightning was extinguished by a single sword strike!
The dark clouds churned, gathering again as if provoked. Huo Yuhao's eyes turned cold, and two more sword lights pierced through the air. Wherever the sword energy passed, the thunderclouds melted like spring snow, and the clear white sky reappeared in the Far North.
This is the power of the contemporary God of Emotion. Swish, swish, swish! Several sword energies streaked across the sky. Even the lightning tribulation had to avoid my sharp edge.
Now the Far North has turned white again.
Ice Bear King Xiaobai successfully broke through its cultivation limit and advanced to a 300,000-year-old Soul Beast.
