"If it weren't for me manipulating this matter, perhaps I wouldn't even realize that memories have changed." Shui Bing'er murmured to herself.

And yet, he could maintain his previous memories. How envious...

"The artifact disappeared, the change has occurred. The only regret is that I don't know the extent of the gap in strength between my past self and Tang San."

After pondering for a moment, Shui Bing'er gave up thinking. This was a question without an answer.

She just needed to focus on the present.

As she said, the change had occurred, and her memories had changed along with it. The only one who stepped out of this change was Shui Wuya alone.

All the parts of her memory related to the divine realm's situation were now altered.

...

Ten thousand years ago.

"Wait, you need to explain this to me first!" Shui Bing'er called out into the air, but there was no response from Shui Wuya.

"What on earth is this thing that consumes so much?" Shui Bing'er picked up the ice bead from the table, frowning.

The next moment, a stream of light burst out from the ice bead, entering Shui Bing'er's mind.

All the information about the Ice God's divine trial was displayed in full.

The influx of massive information left Shui Bing'er stunned for several breaths before she managed to absorb it all.

"So I obtained the Ice God's divine trial like this?" Shui Bing'er felt it was incredibly unreal.

She had arranged for the dean to arrange for many people to search for information, but the Ice God's divine trial had been delivered to her hands through Shui Wuya.

Didn't this render all her actions useless?

But being able to obtain the Ice God's divine trial was indeed a good thing.

At least now, she just needed to focus on practicing.

"Shui Wuya... You've casually given me the artifact to become a deity. How am I supposed to repay you in the future?" Shui Bing'er sighed, then realized she should be happy.

Gripping the ice bead, Shui Bing'er began her cultivation.

Now, she just needed to follow the steps and become the Ice God was within her reach.

During this meditation, Shui Bing'er also clearly noticed that her cultivation speed had once again increased, and this was all thanks to the ice bead.

...

The next day, the effects of the mental power deficit began to alleviate slightly.

Shui Wuya also heard the belated notification sound.

[Shui Bing'er's destiny has changed. You have gained a new family influence: Ice God Temple (under surveillance)]

What does "under surveillance" mean?

Shui Wuya felt puzzled, but no one could provide an answer.

Detailed information about the Ice God Temple was also scarce in Shui Wuya's memory.

It was a force specifically dedicated to cultivating future Ice Gods, and he had already accepted the Ice God's divine trial.

It just hadn't started yet.

"Huh, Wuya, why do I sense the aura of the Ice God emanating from you? Is it because of the bead from yesterday?" The Ice Emperor suddenly appeared, excitedly asking.

"The Ice God's aura?" Shui Wuya felt puzzled.

"This is purely the aura of the Ice God, originating from the Ice God's divine position. I can distinguish between the Ice God's aura and the previous Ice God's personal aura. You already carry some divinity."

"That's right, I can feel it too. You and yesterday are different now. You haven't deceived me; you really have a chance to become a deity!" The Dream Ice Silkworm appeared excitedly.

"Yeah, I've accepted the Ice God's divine trial, but I can't proceed yet." Shui Wuya disclosed some information.

He was still pondering the meaning of "under surveillance."

"Under surveillance" could be interpreted as the Ice God Temple monitoring others, or other entities monitoring the Ice God Temple.

As to which one specifically, Shui Wuya couldn't make a judgment yet, but he leaned toward the latter.

In that case, for a short time, he couldn't go to the Ice God Temple.

However, the first few divine trials of the Ice God didn't require completion in the Ice God Temple. Moreover, Shui Wuya knew that when he altered the past again, this situation might change.

At that moment, Shui Wuya remembered what Xu Mo had said. If he wished, he could take all the treasures of the Xuanming Sect.

If he were to give all these treasures to Shui Bing'er...

No, Shui Wuya dismissed his own idea.

Such actions didn't align with his current identity. It would likely raise suspicions from Xu Mo and bring about unnecessary trouble.

Besides, the Shui Bing'er from ten thousand years ago still had plenty of immortal herbs and the pills he had sent over. They were completely sufficient.

With the acquisition of the ice bead, the gains from this trip had far exceeded Shui Wuya's expectations. After resting well, Shui Wuya resigned like Xu Mo had requested.

There was no need for him to stay in the Xuanming Sect any longer.

As he boarded the carriage back, the people from the Xuanming Sect would see him off.

Watching Shui Wuya leave, Xu Mo felt regretful.

Even during his departure, Shui Wuya didn't ask to take another look at the Xuanming Sect's treasure vault.

If Shui Wuya could take something away, it would undoubtedly deepen the relationship between the two sides.

"Sect Master, since he didn't ask for anything, isn't it a wasted invitation?" During the send-off, it wasn't just the Grand Elder who spoke, but other elders as well, expressing concern.

"I also wish, but it seems he doesn't value anything from our Xuanming Sect." Xu Mo shook his head helplessly.

"Then, Sect Master, why don't you give him your soul bones?" The Third Elder plucked up the courage to suggest.

Soul bones were such rare items that no force would overlook them, right?

However, Xu Mo shook his head. "He doesn't value the soul bones on me."

"You guys don't know yet. His fourth soul ring is already a hundred-thousand-year one, obtained from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast's sacrifice."

"So, any soul bones less than a hundred thousand years won't catch his eye..."

"What, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast's sacrifice!" The other elders, at this moment, received this news and were speechless with shock.

"The Shui Family actually has such a reserve. A hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it's extremely difficult for even a Titled Douluo to find one, let alone one with strong strength."

"He's so young, and he already has a hundred-thousand-year soul ring... this..."

"This is the Shui Family." The Grand Elder sighed. "Let's go back, let's go back. With him gone, it's time for us to return."

...

At the same time, in the farthest reaches of the northernmost part of the continent, in a secluded area within the core circle beyond the Extreme North.

The Ice God Temple stood here.

The only surviving priest of the Ice God Temple opened his eyes.

"The inheritance has been obtained by someone, from the Shui Family... After so many years, it has finally come." The dim eyes of the priest lit up with a glimmer of hope.

But soon, the light dimmed again.

"After that incident, does anyone from the current Shui Family know the location of this Ice God Temple..."

The priest sighed. He was trapped here, and if no one knew, there was nothing he could do.
