"Um?"
Kong Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this; this was quite different from what they had agreed upon before.
Electrolux then added, "After my research over this period, I've discovered an even better method; perhaps we could give it a try."
"Teacher, time is of the essence!"
Kong Xuan sounded somewhat anxious; preparations were underway outside, just waiting for Electrolux to make his move.
Why did my teacher suddenly "change her mind" at this time?!
Electrolux gave Kong Xuan a reassuring look. "Don't worry, it won't take long, and if it succeeds, the results will be better than we expected."
Kong Xuan had calmed down by now, knowing that Electrolux wasn't one to act recklessly, and asked, "Teacher, what should I do?"
Electrolux pointed to the Ruyi Golden Cudgel) standing deep within Kong Xuan's Sea of Consciousness in the distance and said, "This Super Divine Artifact itself possesses the power of suppression. Although you cannot control it yet, drawing upon a trace of its power should not be a problem."
Kong Xuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "Teacher, do you want me to activate the power of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel to suppress the Snow Empress's dissipated energy?"
"That's right!"
Electrolux smiled and nodded, "Although we haven't tried it yet, I think there's a very high chance of success."
Even if it doesn't work out, it's okay, your teacher will still cover for you.
Hearing this, Kong Xuan felt more confident.
Time was of the essence, so he didn't waste any time. He immediately closed his eyes and made contact with the Ruyi Golden Cudgel).
From the outside, in Gu Yuena's eyes, Kong Xuan seemed to be stunned for a moment.
However, just moments later, a dazzling golden light shot out from between Kong Xuan's eyebrows without warning!
The golden light instantly pierced through the icy and despairing air, striking with perfect precision into the disintegrating Snow Empress's essence in mid-air!
"Buzz!"
As the golden light merged with the white aura, a scene unfolded that delighted all the Ferocious Beast.
The originally illusory and uncertain Snow Empress's essence seemed to have been injected with a powerful stimulant, stabilizing itself after continuously dissipating.
A soft yet resilient golden halo quickly spread out, gilding the originally pure white airflow with a sacred golden edge.
It was as if an invisible, perfectly formed barrier had instantly formed, completely sealing off all the loopholes.
"It worked?"
Gu Yuena's eyes held a hint of surprise, secretly thinking that Kong Xuan was indeed capable.
Snow Empress had already prepared herself to return to nothingness completely; the feeling of her power being constantly drained and her sense of existence gradually disappearing filled her with despair.
However, the instant the golden light merged in, an indescribable, vast power instantly enveloped her gradually collapsing core consciousness, like the strongest dam, blocking the flood of Destruction.
An indescribable, overwhelming joy of surviving a catastrophe instantly overwhelmed Snow Empress's consciousness.
All these changes originated from the golden light emanating from Kong Xuan's brow. Gu Yuena and the Ferocious Beast once again focused their gazes on Kong Xuan, their eyes filled with shock and profound disbelief.
Kong Xuan felt the gazes from all sides and slowly said, "The situation is stable for now, but we'll need everyone's help to maintain it."
Finally, Kong Xuan turned his gaze to the white stream of energy radiating golden light. " Snow Empress, shouldn't we be able to continue the incomplete transformation process now?"
The Snow Empress's essence surged in mid-air, seemingly exploring this possibility.
A moment later, Snow Empress's voice came again. "It should... really work!"
This time, her voice held no anger or hatred, only surprise and gratitude.
In Snow Empress's perception, the golden energy was extremely powerful, seemingly suppressing all the "unsettling factors" and allowing her to return to the right track of transformation.
After that, Kong Xuan no longer needed to remind them; the Ferocious Beast continued to transfer their Soul Power, helping the Snow Empress to transform into human form.
As time passed, the essence of the Snow Empress in mid-air began to change state, transforming from a gaseous mass into a liquid mixture of gold and white, and then gradually condensing into a human shape.
Kong Xuan originally thought that after Snow Empress successfully transformed into human form, she would be a six-year-old child.
But looking at her gradually solidifying body, she must be at least seventeen or eighteen years old.
The Snow Empress, now in human form, had long, pure white hair that cascaded down her back to her feet. Her skin was as white as snow, and her face was ethereal and beautiful, like a snow fairy untouched by the world.
Her eyes were sky blue, giving them a crystal-clear appearance.
Her slender figure was flawless, and her white dress, devoid of any superfluous embellishments, accentuated her noble and stunning beauty!
The Ferocious Beast dispersed their power, and the Snow Empress gracefully descended from mid-air.
She slightly raised her slender hand, a soft yet incredibly pure ice-blue halo flowing from her fingertips, and gently waved it around.
The ice crystals that had been freezing the area around the Lake of Life suddenly emitted a faint "crackling" sound, as if receiving a king's command.
The ice then melted and receded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Instead of turning into stagnant water, it sublimated directly into countless tiny particles that shimmered with a faint light.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the surrounding snow-covered landscape vanished, replaced by the vibrant life and lush greenery that the Lake of Life should have possessed.
Only Sisi faint, lingering chill in the air silently testifies to the Ice Seal and peril that had just passed through this place.
The Snow Empress stood on the lakeside, now restored to its original state, her cool gaze sweeping over the Ferocious Beast before finally settling on Kong Xuan.
A complex emotion flickered in her azure eyes, and her clear, cool voice, like ice striking jade, said, "Thank you all for your help. The Snow Empress will forever remember this kindness!"
Among all the Ferocious Beast, only Di Tian and Snow Empress had met several times.
He asked in disbelief, "How could the Snow Empress, with nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, still be able to cultivate back to human form?"
Normally, Soul Beast only has one chance to transform into a human when it reaches 100,000 years of age.
Once this opportunity is missed, as one's power increases, there will be no chance to transform again.
The other Ferocious Beast also looked at the Snow Empress, after all, the heavenly tribulation was a sword hanging over their heads.
If they have the opportunity to retake the course, it will provide them with another way out for the future.
The Snow Empress did not hide anything and said, "I also encountered a snow lotus with a cultivation of 100,000 years. It is difficult for it to develop sentience, but it possesses the pure essence of heaven and earth."
"It was only through the guidance of this Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus that I was able to seal my cultivation and thus transform into human form."
The Ferocious Beast felt a pang of regret upon hearing this, as this method was not widely applicable, and without sufficient opportunity, they would not have such a chance.
Di Tian sighed, "I admire Snow Empress's courage in rebuilding herself as a human."
"But human lifespan is only a few hundred years. If one cannot become a god and ascend to immortality, one will ultimately just be a handful of dust."
Since the Snow Empress had made this choice, she had naturally prepared herself mentally. At this moment, she said frankly, "I absolutely cannot survive the Seven Hundred Thousand Year Heavenly Tribulation. I might as well transform into human form and start cultivating again to fight for that sliver of hope."
Although it was the first time the other Ferocious Beast had seen the Snow Empress, her imposing presence impressed them all.
"Snort!"
"How unfair the Divine Realm is to Soul Beast! Those human gods have forbidden Soul Beast from becoming gods."
Even if the Snow Empress were to transform into a human, most of the human gods would likely not pass on their divine positions!
Gu Yuena's tone was laced with angry chill, and her eyes were filled with the fury of hatred.
She is unaware that the order preventing Soul Beast from becoming gods was not issued by human deities, but by the Dragon God she reveres.
Kong Xuan was aware of this information, but he didn't reveal it at this time. After all, it involved too many things, and there would be a better opportunity to explain it later.
Snow Empress turned her gaze to her, not understanding why this "human" seemed to be speaking from the perspective of Soul Beast, and why there was no respect whatsoever for the supreme deity in her tone.
Who is this?
Snow Empress looked at Di Tian, instinctively feeling that she would get the answer from Di Tian.
