"Bing'er, I never expected you to choose such a path," the Snow Emperor said with a sigh after hearing the Ice Emperor's tale, her emotions becoming much calmer as a result.
The Ice Emperor gave a bitter smile and said, "I had no choice! If it wasn't the last resort, if there was even a sliver of a chance, I wouldn't have wanted to entrust my fate to someone else.
Luckily, I bet correctly.
To use Sky Dream's words, 'Hanging out with the big guy means eating nine meals a day, ascending to the Divine Realm and becoming a beast again is just a matter of time.'"
The Snow Emperor said, "Sky Dream."
"Hey, I'm here, I'm here," the Skydream Ice Silkworm hurriedly made another appearance.
The Snow Emperor said, "I didn't expect it, but you do have loyalty and righteousness, finding a potentially successful path and still remembering Bing'er."
In Qin Xiao's Spirit Space, the Skydream Ice Silkworm awkwardly tried to scratch the back of its head with its short limbs...
But embarrassingly missed.
"Snow Lady, come, join us!"
Once again, the Ice Emperor extended an invitation.
Yet the Snow Emperor shook her head.
"Snow Lady, do you really not wish to walk the same path as I?"
The Snow Emperor gave a bitter smile and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but that I cannot. Your situation and mine are different. I have chosen to be reborn as a human, my own strength suppressed within my original power. If I am successfully reborn, this strength will gradually be released with my human form and transformed back into my power. And right now, this part of my strength still exists, incredibly immense, even a Titled Douluo-level expert who tries to take it on would burst...
"Moreover, back then Sky Dream left an unclaimed Martial Soul for you to fuse with. But now, where is there a place for me? If I stay, I'll become a time bomb for this place.
My original power is in an extremely unstable state and could erupt at any moment. If it does, his current condition might not be able to withstand it..."
After hearing the Ice Emperor's explanation, the Snow Emperor actually felt tempted. She admitted that the path chosen by the Skydream Ice Silkworm was a decent opportunity for soul beasts like them who had reached the end of their road.
If Qin Xiao ascended to godhood, they would have a good chance of being freed. But the problem lay before her; her situation was not the same as the Ice Emperor's. There was no place for her here, and merging would spell death for everyone.
The Ice Emperor fell silent. Indeed!
He had lured the Snow Emperor here, but how could he help her? He could feel the volatility of the Snow Emperor's original power. It could be said that the Snow Emperor now had lost the power to control her original force. A single mistake would be disastrous!
"Sky Dream. What should we do? Think of something," the Ice Emperor couldn't help but plead with the Skydream Ice Silkworm.
"Me," the Skydream Ice Silkworm said with a bitter smile, "what can I do? Although in terms of cultivation level, I was higher than you. But in terms of actual ability, I'm far behind you."
The Ice Emperor pressed, "So there's not even a single solution?"
The voice of the Skydream Ice Silkworm, resigned, said, "I could think of some methods, but they are all highly impractical, almost indistinguishable from having no solution at all."
In Qin Xiao's Spirit Space, the Skydream Ice Silkworm sadly shook its head.
The Ice Emperor resolutely said, "What about this? I'll withdraw my strength and let the Snow Lady fuse with the Ice Martial Soul again, taking my place."
Sky Dream helplessly replied, "Do you think this is a game? Do you really think I can just hand it over like that? Your strength has fully fused with the Ice Martial Soul I created. Even if you could strip it out, there'd be only one outcome: the Ice Martial Soul shatters, and we all die together."
The voice of the Snow Emperor softened considerably, "Bing'er, don't be like this. Actually, we have lived in this world for hundreds of thousands of years, I've long since viewed life and death lightly; maybe this is just a new beginning.
Besides, if it were not for meeting you today, I would still die. Let's just pretend we never saw each other, okay?"
The Snow Emperor seemed quite resigned.
The Ice Emperor wanted to cry, but as a spirit, she simply couldn't.
She made a pleading sound, "Ice Emperor, don't be like this, there must still be a chance..."
The Snow Emperor sighed softly, "I must go now. I don't know how much longer I can suppress my original power; once it explodes, the devastation will be unimaginable.
By staying near you, I would only bring disaster."
"You don't need to leave."
Just at this moment of life-and-death separation, the aged voice rose, and Electrolux finally spoke up.
"Elder Electrolux," the Ice Emperor said as though he had grasped at a lifeline, "Elder Electrolux, please help Snow Lady. As long as you can help her to survive, I'll do anything."
Electrolux said, "Actually, you've all fallen into a misunderstanding, still using the thoughts of mortals to solve problems, which is a mistake itself. The situation with the Snow Emperor is a difficult problem for us.
However, for Qin Xiao, I think it's not much of a problem..."
Electrolux spoke because he could not stand it anymore.
He did not understand, what were those few cobblers even discussing?
In such a situation, did they not know whom to seek?
It was truly superfluous.
"Ah! Yes!"
Reminded by Electrolux, the Ice Emperor and the Skydream Ice Silkworm had sudden realizations.
The Snow Emperor also subconsciously turned her gaze towards Qin Xiao.
She noticed that Qin Xiao was still maintaining a posture of reaching out.
"I told you long ago, just try it yourself..."
Qin Xiao said helplessly.
About the problem of the Snow Emperor, indeed, it was a problem to others.
But to him, it was not such a big problem at all.
Even more so, he had already thought of a new arrangement for the Snow Emperor.
This time, the Snow Emperor hesitated, she did not firmly refuse Qin Xiao as before.
"Snow Emperor, just try it..."
At that moment, the Ice Emperor's voice rang out again, filled with encouragement.
"Exactly, Snow Emperor, we are waiting for you in Big Brother's Spirit Sea," said the Skydream Ice Silkworm's voice as well.
Sigh...
Eventually, after the Snow Emperor exhaled a breath of frost, she slowly stretched out her pure white, jade-like hand and gently held Qin Xiao's hand.
The next moment, she transformed into specks of light and entered Qin Xiao's body.
In actuality, there were many ways to merge as one, but Qin Xiao just felt this way was more dignified and sincere.
The Snow Emperor only felt a blur in front of her eyes, and then she arrived in a boundless, mysterious world.
How powerful was her spiritual power?
Yet, she could not find the boundaries of this world at all.
At this moment, she believed even more in the words of the Skydream Ice Silkworm and others.
"Snow Emperor, welcome to your arrival."
Just then, several figures suddenly appeared before the Snow Emperor.
Among them was the familiar Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion, the Ice Emperor. The Skydream Ice Silkworm was still in its form with ten golden Soul Rings shining bright, following by the Ice Emperor's side.
The figure of Electrolux emerged out of the void, his golden robe adorned with exquisite patterns, white hair, and white beard, ancient and profound amidst his aged features.
