Background / History

Life in the Far North

The Ice Empress ruled from an ice and snow palace whose plain interior contained two thrones. She had long dreamed of becoming a god, but her approaching heavenly tribulation threatened her survival 43.

A thousand years before meeting Hui Ye, she and the Snow Empress encountered a seventy-thousand-year Void Beast in the Sunset Forest. The creature flirted with the Snow Empress, earning the Ice Empress’s lasting anger. Its presence was concealed by a mysterious power, and it escaped into the void before they could capture it 46.

Agreement with Hui Ye

When Hui Ye arrived at her palace, the Ice Empress repeatedly killed him, only to discover that he could revive without losing Soul Power. She then immobilized him with a spatial restraint. His knowledge of her tribulation—and Electrolux’s divine presence—finally persuaded her to hear him out 43.

She initially rejected Hui Ye’s request that she sacrifice herself, accusing him of wanting her Soul Ring. She reconsidered after he explained that Tian Meng had failed to attain godhood even with a million years of cultivation and claimed that the Divine Realm barred Soul Beasts from becoming gods 43 44.

Her agreement had two conditions: she would retain her consciousness, and Hui Ye would help her find the missing Snow Empress. Hui Ye told her that the Snow Empress had probably been captured while transforming into a human and promised to help rescue her. Before proceeding, the Ice Empress spent three days transferring authority over the Far North to the Titan Snow Demon King, with Ice Bear King Xiaobai as his deputy 44.

Sacrifice and Departure

Electrolux concealed the sacrifice with a magic array. Although the process exhausted the Ice Empress, her consciousness survived inside Hui Ye. When nearby Soul Beasts mourned her apparent death, she silenced them with spiritual pressure and declared that she was still alive 44 45.

She subsequently learned that both Hui Ye and Electrolux came from other worlds. Her recollection of the Void Beast gave Hui Ye a lead for obtaining the spatial Soul Ring required by his third Soul Skill. They suspected that the beast had escaped near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well 46 47.

Before leaving, she warned the Far North’s ice-attribute Soul Beasts over a thousand years old to hide from Tian Meng’s plan. During the journey, she accidentally destroyed Hui Ye’s Flying Soul Tool with Ultimate Ice. He confined her within his soul after she refused compensation. Their quarrel continued near the Sunset Forest, where she finally apologized when he threatened to tell the Snow Empress everything that had happened 47 48.

Appearance

• Soul Beast form: A scorpion with emerald-green eyes; her pupils narrow into vertical slits when alarmed 43.
• Human form: An innocent-looking girl with emerald-green hair tied into a single ponytail and an ice-crystal crown. Her eyes retain a distinctly cold, inhuman quality 43.
• Tail: A frequently used weapon that she considers the most beautiful part of her body 44 45.
• Ice pincers: Become the basis of Hui Ye’s fingernail External Soul Bone during her sacrifice 44.

Personality

The Ice Empress is proud, domineering, and quick to anger when her dignity is challenged. She reprimands a subordinate for allowing a human to ride on its head and particularly hates being called “cute,” considering the description incompatible with her status. Her initial treatment of Hui Ye is ruthless, including repeated killings and indefinite imprisonment 43.

Her attachment to the Snow Empress exposes a much more vulnerable side. She becomes distraught at the possibility of the Snow Empress’s capture and remains furious about the Void Beast’s advances a thousand years later. Hui Ye’s teasing about her feelings drives her into withdrawal, while the threat of embarrassing her before the Snow Empress ultimately makes her concede their quarrel 44 46 48.

After joining Hui Ye, she also displays a mischievous sense of humor. She laughs uncontrollably at his distress over the elegant nails she created for him and suggests that he wear a pink dress. Their frequent arguments leave Electrolux complaining about how much livelier his surroundings have become 45 48.

Abilities & Skills

Ultimate Ice

Her ice-attribute Soul Power is sufficiently potent to destroy machinery when used without restraint 47 48.

• Freezes Hui Ye’s Level 3 Flying Soul Tool and cracks its core component 47 48.
• Supplies the Ultimate Ice effects of the skills gained through her sacrifice 45.
• Requires control when interacting with equipment not designed to withstand her cold 47.

Soul Power and Spatial Restraint

She can overpower Hui Ye physically despite his ability to revive 43.

• Compresses his body until it explodes, killing him repeatedly 43.
• Immobilizes him and stops the circulation of his Soul Power with a spatial restraint 43.
• Cannot prevent Electrolux’s golden light from undoing that restraint 43.

Spiritual Presence and Preserved Consciousness

Electrolux preserves her soul intact through the sacrifice, allowing her to remain an active companion rather than disappear into a Soul Ring 44 45.

• Communicates with Hui Ye and resides in an ice hut within his soul 45.
• Releases spiritual pressure strong enough to silence the Soul Beasts outside her palace 45.
• According to Hui Ye, her soul can reform within him even if destroyed, provided he remains alive 48.
• Can nevertheless be confined by a prison Hui Ye constructs with spiritual power inside his soul 48.

Sacrifice and Bestowed Skills

She divides her Soul Bone contribution between her tail and pincers rather than producing the initially proposed torso bone 44.

• She offers to teach Hui Ye how to use her tail as a weapon 44.
• Once formed, the fingernail Soul Bone’s appearance cannot be changed 45.

Relationships

• Hui Ye — Recipient of her sacrifice and prospective route to the Divine Realm. She relies on his promise to preserve her consciousness and find the Snow Empress, but their partnership is marked by constant teasing and arguments 44 45 48.
• Snow Empress — Deeply cherished companion. Hui Ye identifies the Ice Empress’s feelings as romantic; the Ice Empress also starts to describe their old journey as a “honeymoon” before correcting herself 46.
• Electrolux — Divine figure whom she initially fears and respectfully addresses as the Holy Necromancer. He guarantees her soul’s preservation and oversees her sacrifice 43 44.
• Tian Meng — An unwanted pursuer whom she calls a useless bug. She regrets not eating him when she had the chance and eagerly accepts Electrolux’s assurance that she can personally beat him after her sacrifice 43 44.
• Titan Snow Demon King — Entrusted with supreme authority over the Far North during her and the Snow Empress’s absence 44.
• Ice Bear King Xiaobai — Calls her “Auntie” and begs to accompany her. He remains behind as the Titan Snow Demon King’s deputy after being reminded of his responsibilities 44 47.
• Void Beast — A longstanding target of her anger for flirting with the Snow Empress and escaping their pursuit 46 48.
