Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 693 The Snow Empress Selects a Successor, and the Small World Gains a Great General!
The Titan Snow Demon King was about to unleash its fury; when would it need a human to say something like "I don't care"?

You should know that if a ferocious beast with wind and thunder attributes hadn't suddenly appeared and entangled it last time, this human would have been slapped to death by it!
Is it even his place to argue or not?

Before it could even move, the Snow Empress's aura had already suppressed it, rendering it completely immobile.

"Atai, sit quietly, I have something to say."

Despite still being very dissatisfied with Jiang Ming, the Titan Snow Demon King obediently sat in place after being warned by the Snow Empress and did not make any further moves.

Xue Di said calmly, "Alright, since everyone is almost here, let's begin. It's been a long time since I've seen you all; I'm very happy to see you all."

Although there was no smile on her face, her words immediately triggered a chorus of cheers from all the beasts. The thunderous roar tore apart the fierce winds of the far north ice plains. Every soul beast instantly became excited, as if they had been subjected to a collective bloodlust.

The Snow Empress slowly raised her right hand, making a pressing motion. Instantly, the cacophony of roars from the beasts ceased, and everything returned to silence.

Snow Empress glanced at the Titan Snow Demon King in front of her. Sensing her gaze, the Titan Snow Demon King quickly lowered his head in a fawning manner.

The Snow Emperor said, "In recent years, I have been in seclusion, striving to break through the next bottleneck. As you all know, I am not young anymore, and I have lived in this world for far too long."

Whether it's me, Di Tian, ​​or Xie Yan, we've all reached our end. The future world will belong to you.

"My far north is a pure land. For me, the most satisfying thing in my life is the peace in the far north."

There are two main reasons I've gathered you all here. First, I want to announce that after this meeting, I will be entering another level of seclusion. I don't know what the final outcome will be, so I'm bidding you all farewell. It's very likely that this will be the last time I see you all.

Second, I need to determine my successor.

Upon hearing Xue Di's words, the numerous soul beasts of the far northern ice plains immediately erupted in uproar.

To them, the Snow Emperor is the guardian deity of the entire far north ice plain!

The Snow Empress said she might not live much longer and might even have to attempt a death trial. This was nothing short of a disaster for them.

"roar--"

A powerful roar suddenly rang out, and the Titan Snow Demon King, who had been sitting cross-legged in front of the Snow Emperor, suddenly stood up, pounding his broad chest with both hands. His angry roar exploded, instantly suppressing the noise of all the soul beasts.

A powerful aura mixed with boundless killing intent suddenly spread out, quickly silencing the soul beasts that had just begun to make noise, and they all lowered their heads in fear once again.

But this did not calm them down. To them, the Snow Empress was the god of this far north ice plain. Without the god, could the far north ice plain still be the same far north ice plain?
After coldly surveying the area, the Titan Snow Demon King finally sat down again in front of the Snow Emperor.

The Snow Emperor said calmly, "I declare that from this moment on, Atai will succeed me as the Lord of the Far North Ice Plain. You must respect it as you respect me, obey its commands, and assist it in maintaining peace in the Far North Ice Plain."

Although Atai is somewhat rough around the edges, he is kind-hearted and very loyal, never using his power to bully other groups. He is a very good candidate for successor.

These words shocked the soul beasts on the far north ice plains once again.

In the eyes of all the spirit beasts, only the Ice Emperor should be able to inherit the position of the Snow Emperor! Moreover, all the spirit beasts of the far north ice plains know that the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor are connected by lineage and have an extremely good relationship.

Among the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the first and second Heavenly Kings, when united, even possess the strength to contend with the Beast God Di Tian. If the battlefield were here, even the Beast God would have to avoid their onslaught.

The fact that the Snow Empress was willing to give up her position as the ruler of the far north ice plains was already surprising enough, but the fact that she would pass her throne to the Titan Snow Demon King instead of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was even more unbelievable to them.

Even the Titan Snow Demon King himself stared wide-eyed at the Snow Empress in surprise, thinking she had made a mistake.

Snow Empress also looked at Titan Snow Demon King, nodded to it, and confirmed her meaning.

"Snow Empress, you..." Titan Snow Demon King's voice trembled slightly, not with excitement, but with sorrow.

Only when you reach the level of those ferocious beasts do you understand what Snow Empress's arrangement means. It means that she has no confidence at all in breaking through the next bottleneck.

The Hyotei Empire likely faces the same situation. Otherwise, given the relationship between the Ice and Snow Emperors, the Snow Emperor would never have passed the throne to it.

Jiang Ming watched all of this quietly.

The Snow Emperor is arranging his own family affairs; he will not interfere.

Even if Titan Snow Demon King had a grudge against him, he would not interfere with the arrangements made by Snow Emperor.

However, Jiang Ming had not expected Xue Di to make such an arrangement.

The Snow Empress is currently his spirit; when he becomes a god, she will inevitably accompany him to the realm of the gods.

Since Ice Empress is now Huo Yuhao's soul spirit, she naturally cannot take over the position of Snow Empress.

In this way, Snow Empress only has Titan Snow Demon King as her choice.

Xue Di smiled faintly: "Atai, over the years, you have made many contributions with me, and you have truly grown up."

I've been watching your every move, and I'm glad you've done so well all these years. You're more suited to this position than Bing'er.

Bing'er has a very strong personality, and her clan is not as powerful as your Titan Snow Demon clan. Their overall strength is relatively weak. Therefore, in my heart, you have long been my successor.

You must remember, even if I'm gone, the Arctic Icefield will still be the same Arctic Icefield.

You must treat all ethnic groups kindly and uphold my aspirations. Only when we, the people of the far north, are united enough will we not be invaded or humiliated by foreign enemies.

"Yes"

Large tears slid down Titan Snow Demon King's face.

The Snow Emperor's request was something it never expected.

The Snow Empress bestowed upon it the throne of the Lord of the Far North Ice Plains, demonstrating her trust in it.

It had always been deeply impressed by Xue Di, and now, thinking that Xue Di might be nearing the end of her life, it felt a pang of sadness.

The Ice Bear King, who was lying prostrate beside the Snow Emperor, had now reopened his eyes and looked at the Titan Snow Demon King with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

In terms of strength, he was not much weaker than the Titan Snow Demon King, and he was already at odds with the Titan Snow Demon King. Naturally, he was very unwilling when the Snow Emperor passed the throne to the Titan Snow Demon King.

It didn't hide its emotions, but at this moment, the Titan Snow Demon King wasn't paying any attention to it at all.

The Snow Empress said calmly, "Atai, and all the people of the Ice Plains. Remember, my departure does not mean death. If my seclusion fails, needless to say, so be it. But if I succeed, then even Di Tian will never be able to surpass me. Regardless of success or failure, my soul resides in the far north, and I will forever protect you. Any existence that violates the rules of the far north Ice Plains will be my enemy." "Roar roar roar—"

Three roars echoed from the group of soul beasts. All the soul beasts of the far north ice plains screamed hysterically, expressing their inner emotions.

Titan Snow Demon King stood up again, took a few steps back, and then knelt before Snow Emperor, bowing deeply. Its massive body trembled throughout. Each bow seemed so sincere and earnest.

Snow Empress nodded to Titan Snow Demon King and said, "Atai, get up. Before I leave, I have something for you to do."

Titan Snow Demon King immediately raised his head and respectfully said, "Snow Empress, no matter what, only you can rule the Far North Ice Plains, only you are the master of the Far North Ice Plains. I believe you will definitely return. While you are away, I will guard this place for you. I... I will wait for your return."

At this point, the Titan Snow Demon King burst into tears.

Seeing its appearance, the Snow Empress couldn't help but be slightly moved: "Alright, if I successfully break through, I will definitely come back to see you. Perhaps it won't be too long."

At this point, she couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Jiang Ming.

She believed that with Jiang Ming's strength, he would soon be able to complete the divine inheritance assessment and become a god.

At that time, she will return to visit the soul beasts of the far north, in a completely new guise.

"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Everyone, please disperse and continue with your lives. From now on, any major events on the Ice Plains will be decided by Atai."

As she spoke, Xue Di slowly rose up, soaring upwards and quietly hovering in the high sky.

Titan Snow Demon King quickly stepped forward and stood beneath her.

Snow Emperor gracefully landed on his broad shoulders.

None of the numerous Icefield Soul Beasts moved; they remained prostrate, kneeling in worship of the Snow Emperor.

Snow Empress stood on the shoulder of Titan Snow Demon King, slowly turned around, and looked at her subjects who had followed her for many years. Gradually, a layer of crystal mist appeared in her eyes.

Even though she has lived for 700,000 years, she still cannot control her emotions at this moment.

"Go, my people, let me watch you depart."

The Snow Emperor's voice carried far and wide.

Hearing her instructions, the soul beasts of the far north ice plains got up and slowly dispersed.

However, even as they departed, they kept turning back, looking at their former masters of the far north ice plains with reluctance.

From this moment on, the three Heavenly Kings of the far north ceased to exist, and they had new masters.

Snow Empress stood there quietly, Titan Snow Demon King remained motionless, and Ice Bear King also stood up.

When it stands upright, it is over forty meters tall. Although it is much shorter than the Titan Snow Demon King, it is no less strong.

Its silver fur shimmered, and its eyes flashed with a fierce light. It glanced frequently at the Titan Snow Demon King beside it, then at the gradually dispersing group of soul beasts in the distance, its emotions clearly fluctuating.

It took a full half hour for all the soul beasts to gradually disperse, and the far northern ice plains returned to peace.

Only two groups survived: the Ice Bears and the Titan Snow Demons.

These two races are among the most powerful in the entire far north, and together with the Ice Jade Scorpion race, they are known as the three major races of the far north.

Snow Empress stood on the shoulder of Titan Snow Demon King, a hint of melancholy in her eyes. After all, she had ruled this far north ice plain for hundreds of thousands of years, and she was truly reluctant to give it up forever!

Back then, she tried everything to rebuild her cultivation and preserve her strength as much as possible. However, she was taken away by a Soul Master who came to explore the far north, which led to the series of events that followed. At that time, she didn't have time to explain anything.

Now that she could give an explanation, she was filled with reluctance.

After a while, the Snow Empress looked at Titan Snow Demon King and said softly, "Atai, you have just taken over as the Lord of the Far North Ice Plains. The various tribes below still need your personal attention to appease them and establish your authority as soon as possible. Go back."

"Yes, Snow Empress."

Titan Snow Demon King glanced at Ice Bear King, a hint of worry flashing in its eyes, but it still immediately followed Snow Emperor's instructions and turned to leave.

After watching the Titan Snow Demon King leave, the Snow Empress turned her gaze to the Ice Bear King beside her.

"Snow Empress, what about me? What am I supposed to do?"

Only now did the Ice Bear King voice his doubts. In the distance, his clan waited silently. The Titan Snow Demons, however, had already followed the Titan Snow Demon King away.

The Snow Empress said calmly, "As for you, I naturally have plans for you. Little White, you'll just stay with me."

"Um?"

The Ice Bear King was stunned.

"Following you all this time? Weren't you going into seclusion?"

The Snow Empress said calmly, "On this far northern ice plain, without me, only you and your people are qualified to contend with Atai. Atai is stronger overall, but you are not without a chance of victory. Without me, can you obey its commands?"

Upon hearing the Snow Empress's question, the Ice Bear King fell silent. Unable to lie to the Snow Empress, it could only respond with silence.

The Snow Empress continued, "Therefore, after I leave, only one of you two can survive in this far north. Otherwise, peace in the far north will be difficult to maintain."

After speaking, Xue Di turned to look at Jiang Ming.

"Jiang Ming, can you let Xiaobai enter your little world? It can't stay in the far north."

A gathering place for spirit beasts cannot have two spirit beast kings of roughly equal strength. With her presence, there is only one ruler in the far north.

After she left, Xiaobai and Atai became enemies, which could easily lead to the division of the far north, something she absolutely did not want to see.

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."

He was naturally very happy to have gained the combat power of a 200,000-year-old ferocious beast for no reason.
