Chapter: 155

It was a place filled with dense ice laws.

From flora to the smallest piece of grass, everything was made up of dense ice energy.

A lake was situated here, from which thin strands of ice energy would leak from time to time.

The whole lake contained such thick ice laws that even a drop of it could easily freeze someone to death.

Tiny ice spirits danced above the lake, circling around it.

Suddenly, the space shrank above it before it broke into small pixelated particles that scattered into the air; a dark portal emerged at the top of it.

A young man walked out of it.

His long black hair and dark-golden robes looked in contrast to the icy affinity within that place.

His reptile-like golden gaze located around him before his lips pursed into a thin smile.

"Jackpot. I just love All-Map Exploration. With it, there isn't really any place I cannot enter. Well, lest the said place was hidden in another dimension."

Heavenly Netherfrost Lake was the sacred ground of the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect.

Yun Che's purpose for coming here was simple; to resurrect the sleeping True God at the bottom of the lake.

He stared down, and his eyes narrowed.

His gaze pierced through all forms of existing obstacles and reached the bottom of the lake, a beauty beyond the description of words lay there.

Curled up like a kitten, she looked like a princess waiting for her prince to appear.

"Bingo~ Time for swimming then."

He took off his clothes, leaving behind his pants, and jumped into the lake.

The dense ice affinity didn't bother him as he, like a rocket, dived deeper into the lake.

The water parted, and Yun Che soon found himself standing in front of an icy crystal with a woman sealed inside of it.

The girl's arms were wrapped around her knees, and her head was buried between her knees too, hugging herself into a ball.

She was completely naked, exposing her long, white legs and delicate feet.

Her naked skin looked as sparkly and glossy as the light of moons and stars, even through the wall of ice.

Her long hair spread down her body, and every hair looked as white as ice, tinged with a tiny bit of light blue. The hair covered up her face and her private parts.

'She is thick as heck, man… It's sad that most of it is hidden. Still, it's a treat for the eyes of a man.'

Especially her thick and meaty thighs. They really looked delicious.

Suddenly, a small blue flash appeared.

It was a small ball of blue light that flew and hit Yun Che's mind, an unknown divine intent followed with it.

"This familiar feeling… Azure Dragon God, is that you? You… survived?"

A gentle but dreamy voice resounded within his mind. It was soft and almost hypnotic. Yun Che felt if he didn't remain focused, he might lose his control over his mind just by listening to her voice.

"I am not the Azure Dragon God."

"You are not?" The voice sounded confused. "But I can feel the aura of Dragon God from your soul."

"That's because I changed my soul after merging with the Azure Dragon Soul. So it's not wrong to say that I am the Azure Dragon God, but at the same time, I am not."

"... you did what?"

"Changed my soul to Dragon God."

"How…?" The dreamy voice of the girl sounded more and more confused. As if she did not understand what Yun Che just said.

"Hmm." Yun Che cupped his chin as if in deep thought before he started to explain. "Well, first you get your hand on a cheat called Menu. Then you get your hands on the Azure Dragon God's Origin Soul. You study the soul and get a skill that will allow you to study the soul perfectly. Then you mess with the souls of other people, which will give you a skill related to the reconstruction of souls. Then you awaken the authority to make sure during the process you can heal your soul continuously. Then you find a True God to act as a catalyst and Menu's skills as the foundation. And you will be able to destroy your soul and then reconstruct it with the complete soul of the Azure Dragon God as the basis. To be honest, it's not hard if you have Menu. It makes things quite easy if you think about it."

"...huh?"

"Forget it. Seems like it's too complicated for you." Yun Che shook his head in disappointment.

Changing his soul into that of a True Dragon God was his biggest achievement after all. He felt quite proud of it. Sadly, no one but him could understand the process.

'Alas, the apex has always been a lonely place.'

"Anyways, you must be the Ice Phoenix."

"... That I am." The girl's voice still sounded lost, as if she still was trying to process what she just heard.

"I'm quite surprised at your stubborn will to live this crippled life just to find a final hope to save the world."

"You know about that day?" The voice exclaimed.

Except for the Heretic God and Lu Suo, no one should be aware of that day.

Even Mo E, the cause, didn't understand what he had caused simply due to his twisted sense of justice till his very death.

Ice Phoenix found it quite bizarre that the mortal… No, he wasn't a mortal but a True God in a sense, yet she found it astonishing that there were people still aware of it.

"I read a lot," Yun Che answered ambiguously. "Tell me, don't you find this way of living lonely and sad?"

"What I think has nothing to do with my goal. If I wanted to end my miserable existence, I would have done so long ago."

"And yet you didn't." Yun Che's eyes narrowed. He raised his hand towards the Ice Phoenix, and a small smile appeared over his face. "Join me. And I will give you a second chance to live."

"Join you…?"

"Yes. Form a contract with me, do not resist, and I'll return you to your former glory."

"Such a presumptuous claim. Do you take me for a gullible child?"

Yun Che chuckled.

"You are talking to a man who was able to reconstruct his soul into that of a True God. There aren't many things that are impossible for me."

A silence formed between the two.

It looked like the Ice Phoenix was contemplating her choices.

"What contract do you speak of?"

"The same contract I hid within the core part of the souls of the Phoenix and the Golden Crow; Soul Star Relegation!"

When he had revived the Golden Crow, Yun Che did not have access to the Soul Star Relegation.

So he added a runic contract instead, that would replace itself in the future once he got his hand on the Soul Star Relegation.

The Golden Crow didn't find it since she herself thought that most seals placed on her soul were to restrict her powers to the peak of Divine Master.

In the case of Phoenix, he was more direct in his approach due to their deal, and she simply ignored it.

Compared to being able to live more, she did not find the contract a lesser deal for herself.

Yun Che didn't have the strength to kill a True God yet, no way he was going left and right resurrecting them.

Soul Star Relegation bound the souls of the other person with his, with the extra effect of making them like him more.

The fact that the Golden Crow seemed to like him and even Phoenix didn't find it repulsive selling her body wasn't purely because he revived them but also because the contract made them like him more.

"The technique of Star Gods? You possess the inheritance of one?"

"I don't." Yun Che denied. "But someone I know did, so I simply learned the technique for myself."

"Absurd… But how will you revive me?" She paused for a second before her voice rang again. "I once used to work for the Creation Goddess Lu Suo. After her death, I have never sworn my allegiance to anyone. If you can really do what you proclaim, I will not mind becoming your servant."

Normally, no God would be willing to become the servant of another god.

But there were special cases, like respect and reverence towards a certain being.

A mortal, on the other hand, would never gain the respect of a God. Especially during the Primordial Era. It was impossible.

Ice Phoenix did not consider Yun Che a mortal, but a being of equal standing.

Due to his soul, she treated him as another living True God.

To complete her goal… maybe this person was the last hope of this world.

A smile bloomed over the face of Yun Che as his eyes suddenly glowed in golden.

"I welcome you to the world of the living then, Ice."
