" Snow Empress?"
Seeing the unusually serious expression on Gu Yuena's face, Kong Xuan understood that things were probably far from ordinary.
The relaxed look on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely serious expression as he quietly awaited Gu Yuena's next words.
A faint light flickered in Gu Yuena's deep purple eyes, revealing that her heart was not entirely unmoved.
She lowered her voice slightly, but her usually cool tone now carried Qian Jun weight as she spoke clearly, word by word. "She discovered... a miracle in the Core Zone of the Far North!"
"Miracle?!"
Kong Xuan almost subconsciously uttered a low voice, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was filled with disbelief and shock.
This news was completely beyond his expectations.
In his memory, the original text never mentioned any specific miracles in the Far North!
Do you know which deity it's related to?
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Kong Xuan asked with a hint of disbelief, curiosity, and inquiry.
Gu Yuena pondered for a moment, then said with certainty, "Based on Snow Empress's description of the energy attributes surrounding that ruin, and the extreme ice attribute laws contained within it... it should be a divine relic related to the Ice God."
" Ice God..."
Kong Xuan repeated those two words in a low voice, his thoughts unknown.
Then, Gu Yuena frowned slightly and said, "I remember, when that earth-shattering war broke out in the Divine Realm, the Ice God... should have perished."
"What has appeared in the Far North now is most likely something closely related to her origin that fell onto the Douluo Continent after her fall."
"That might be a magical artifact she always carried with her, or maybe..."
She paused, her gaze fixed intently on Kong Xuan, and said, "Is it her shattered divine spark, or... the lingering legacy of the Ice God's Godhood Inheritance!"
" Godhood Inheritance?!"
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's eyes instantly shone with an unprecedented light, as if two golden flames were burning within them!
He blurted out almost without thinking, his voice rising slightly with excitement. "You mean... this miracle can allow someone to inherit the Ice God's position and ultimately... become a god?!"
In the Douluo Continent, it is extremely difficult to become a god directly through one's own abilities. Even the protagonists of several generations of stories inherited their godhood.
Kong Xuan himself didn't need this so-called Godhood Inheritance, but his close associates did, so he naturally had to make some plans.
Gu Yuena shook her head slightly, her silver hair fluttering gently. "Based solely on the limited information provided by the Snow Empress, we cannot yet determine what that miracle truly holds."
Whether there are truly complete remnants of Godhood Inheritance remains to be determined through further investigation.
Kong Xuan nodded in deep agreement, his expression solemn.
He looked at Gu Yuena, his tone heavy, his mind made up. "It seems that I must personally go to the core of this Far North, no matter what!"
"Let's not delay, we'll set off tomorrow."
He made his decision and then looked at Gu Yuena: " Na'er, this journey concerns a miracle, with danger and opportunity coexisting. This time, I need you to come with me."
Gu Yuena had anticipated this. She met Kong Xuan's gaze and nodded calmly and firmly without the slightest hesitation.
"Good."
No superfluous words were needed; a single word of promise was enough.
The next morning, as dawn broke and the chill of the night lingered.
At the academy gate, Gu Yuena arrived as scheduled, her silver hair swaying slightly in the morning breeze, her expression as cool and calm as ever.
However, when her gaze fell on the familiar figure beside Kong Xuan, a knowing glint flashed in her purple eyes.
Kong Xuan was holding Meng Hongchen's hand, and the two stood side by side, clearly indicating that she would also be part of this trip.
If the so-called miracle deep in the Far North is truly related to the Ice God, and even preserves Godhood Inheritance, then Kong Xuan's intention in bringing Meng Hongchen along is self-evident.
After Martial Soul Evolution, Meng Hongchen possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute, making him a suitable candidate to inherit the position of Ice God.
As for Huo Yuhao, Kong Xuan didn't know whether Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotion, would still pass on his divine position to him given the drastically changed plot.
However, it doesn't matter if Huo Yuhao doesn't have this opportunity. As the chosen one of this era, he should have no shortage of opportunities to become a god.
Kong Xuan can only feel sorry for Xiao Yuhao now!
" Na'er."
When Meng Hongchen saw Gu Yuena, he greeted her with a smile.
Gu Yuena nodded slightly in response, then turned her gaze to Kong Xuan and said calmly, "Ready?"
"Um."
Kong Xuan nodded and gripped Meng Hongchen's hand tightly. "Our goal is clear, but the road ahead is unknown. We need to reach the Far North as soon as possible and reunite with the Snow Empress."
Without exchanging many words, three figures soared into the sky through the morning mist, transforming into streaks of light as they sped toward the northernmost part of the continent, to that forbidden land covered in eternal ice and snow.
Driven at full speed by their Flying Soul Tool, they officially set foot on the Far North at noon on the third day.
Following the route indicated in the Snow Empress's message, they entered this vast, boundless white world from Iceheart City.
Looking out, all that remains in the world is a vast expanse of monotonous and lifeless white.
Braving the wind and snow, wearing specially made protective and cold-weather suits, they silently walked into the depths of the Far North for about half an hour.
Suddenly, Kong Xuan, who was walking at the front, stopped abruptly.
He tilted his head slightly, as if listening to some sound that even the wind and snow couldn't completely conceal, and then said in a deep voice, "They're here!"
All around them was the howling of the wind and snow, but before long, a muffled, heart-pounding sound came from afar, piercing through the wind wall and clearly reaching the ears of the three.
"Thump... thump... thump!"
The sound was rhythmic and heavy, each strike like a giant hammer pounding the earth, even the solid, ancient ice beneath their feet trembled clearly!
The sound grew closer and closer, and the sense of oppression intensified.
Finally, behind the swirling snow, a colossal figure, as imposing as a mountain, slowly came into view.
It was a gigantic humanoid creature, estimated to be at least fifty meters tall, covered in thick, snow-white fur that blended perfectly with the surrounding snow and ice. Without close inspection, it was difficult to even detect its movement.
With each step it took, it left a deep, enormous crater in the ice field, demonstrating its unparalleled power.
Kong Xuan's powerful eyesight had already pierced through the wind and snow, allowing him to see the newcomer's full appearance, and he immediately made a judgment in his mind.
With such a massive size, such terrifying power, and such a distinctive appearance, the newcomer must be one of the rulers of the Far North, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings, the Titan Snow Demon King!
The behemoth stopped a hundred meters away from them, its enormous, icy eyes looking down at the three figures below, who looked like ants. A savage and chilling aura swept over them.
However, it did not immediately show hostility; it seemed to be merely scrutinizing the situation.
On the snow-capped shoulders of the Titan Snow Demon King, a beautiful young girl stood gracefully.
She was dressed in white, seemingly blending into the icy world, her face serene and otherworldly, carrying an aloofness like that of an ancient icy plain.
In this Far North core, the one who can stand so peacefully on the shoulder of the Titan Snow Demon King has an identity that speaks for itself—it is none other than the Snow Empress, the Lord of the Far North in human form.
Her gaze swept over Kong Xuan and the other two, she nodded slightly, and then with a swift movement, she lightly leaped down from the tens of meters high shoulder, traversing a distance of a hundred meters, and landed steadily in front of Kong Xuan like a snowflake falling.
The situation was urgent, and Kong Xuan didn't bother with pleasantries, cutting straight to the point and asking in a serious tone, " Snow Empress, what exactly is the situation?"
Snow Empress understood immediately and knew what he was asking.
The Snow Empress turned to the side, her gaze sweeping over the Titan Snow Demon King standing behind her like a mountain, and said, "In the Far North, there has always been an ancient legend— the Titan Snow Demon King Clan has the blood of the Ice God flowing through their veins."
She paused, then her tone became absolutely certain. "This is not some unfounded legend, but a fact."
"In the deepest part of the Far North, within the ancestral land guarded by the Titan Snow Demon Clan for generations, lies a secluded space we have never noticed before."
"That space is extremely secluded and completely isolated from the outside world. This time, I successfully transformed into human form, and on my way there, I caught a faint fluctuation emanating from it, which is how I discovered its existence!"
Her expression turned extremely serious. "I can clearly sense that within that space lies the purest and Ultimate Ice."
"I merely attempted to probe with my Divine Power, and I immediately sensed an immense threat stemming from my very Life force!"
Snow Empress looked at Kong Xuan and concluded, word by word, "Based on all the information, I think... there should be a miracle of the Ice God there!"
