Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 269: Let the Snow Empress protect Han Feng! ?

"I have two methods that can help you achieve eternal godhood in the body of a soul beast!"

Ice God's words made Snow Empress's eyes light up. If there were even the slightest chance, who would want to sink into the lower realm?

Even if the realm of gods isn't as wonderful as she imagined, it's still the only way for the Snow Empress to break through her own limitations right now!

The Ice God didn't mince words with the Snow Empress. With a slight smile, he said directly, "Firstly, although cultivation for soul beasts is arduous, if one can break through a million years of cultivation, one can directly bypass the central authority of the God Realm and become a god. However, this method is perilous. In the lower realms, not only will there be a heavenly tribulation every hundred thousand years, but gods will also consider you a target for divine trials and extermination. Since the fall of the Dragon God, no soul beast has succeeded in this way for the past hundred thousand years!"

"Furthermore, even if a soul beast becomes a god, it only starts as a third-level deity. There are no beast gods in the God Realm, so a mere third-level god cannot withstand the power struggles within the God Realm!"

Upon hearing that a soul beast could bypass the central hub of the God Realm and directly become a god after breaking through a million years, the Snow Empress was shocked!

But the Ice God's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the Snow Emperor's head.

The Ice God is right. Neither the lower realm nor the divine realm allows soul beasts to break through a million cultivation levels. They are all worried that soul beasts will rise again and the Dragon God will be resurrected!

Unless one day, the God Realm is able to give birth to its own God Emperor, the God Realm's fear and apprehension towards Soul Beasts will never be eliminated!

Knowing this, Xue Di understood that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the sea was nearing its end!

With over 900,000 years of cultivation at its peak, and with several more successors of gods recently appearing on the Douluo Continent, the fate of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is predictable!

This is the tragedy of every soul beast in the post-Dragon God era!

The Ice God, however, ignored the Snow Empress's changing expression and continued, "Secondly, if one re-cultivates into human form, the gods of the divine realm will not accept a soul beast in human form. However, after re-cultivation, one can establish one's own divine position. This method is more secure than the former, but it is also more difficult. You should know the drawbacks of a soul beast re-cultivating. Besides, establishing one's own divine position is far more difficult than a million soul beasts becoming gods. In tens of thousands of years, only the Sea God has succeeded!"

"But after being rebuilt, you will have a human body and establish your own divine position. Even the central authority of the divine realm will have to acknowledge you, and you will at least be a first-level deity. Even the five great law enforcement gods cannot easily suppress you!"

After saying this, Ice God fell silent.

She has made it very clear that her choice to stay in Xue Di is none of her business.

Even Xue Di gritted her teeth, her heart heavy!

The Snow Empress didn't know the specific difference between a first-level god and a third-level god, nor did she know about the Five Great Law Enforcement Gods. However, from the Ice God's words, she could tell that it was extremely difficult for a soul beast to become a god!

"If the Snow Maiden were to rebuild her cultivation, could she inherit the Ice God's divine status?" After pondering for a while, the Snow Emperor suddenly spoke without expression.

The Ice God was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly understood the Snow Emperor's meaning. He smiled slightly and shook his head.

To be honest, the compatibility between the Snow Empress and the Ice God is even greater than that of the Ice God back then. If it had been ten or even a few years earlier, the Ice God might have given the Snow Empress a chance. The Ice God has done things that defy the order of the divine realm before, otherwise he would not have suppressed the Endless Ice Prison and prevented her from ever leaving!

But things are different now. The Ice God has already decided on the successor to the Ice God's divine status, so it is absolutely impossible for the Snow Empress to have any unrealistic fantasies anymore.

Especially after Han Feng demonstrated his talent for combining ice and fire, the titles of Ice God and Fire God were undoubtedly his!

This is what the Ice God, the Fire God, and even the Dark God and the God of Defense would like to see!

Ice and fire unite, the uncrowned god-king!

Moreover, apart from Han Feng, who is able to inherit the divine powers of both the Ice God and the Fire God and has the protection of the old rogue in the God Realm, anyone else who inherits the divine power of the Ice God will be imprisoned in the Ice Prison forever, just like the Ice God before us!

This loneliness and coldness are unimaginable to ordinary people. The Ice God did not want to harm others, and therefore he has kept his divine position hanging for tens of thousands of years and has never sought a successor!

Seeing the Ice God shake her head, the Snow Empress's eyes dimmed for a moment, then she gave a self-deprecating bitter laugh.

Snow Empress knew that she had been a bit presumptuous. Ice God had already made it clear that she was not the successor to the Ice God's divine status, but Snow Empress still held a sliver of hope.

Now that's all over, it's all gone, but at least I feel relieved!

"Snow Maiden is dull-witted. If the Ice God has any instructions, please speak freely!" The Snow Empress quickly composed herself and pondered calmly.

Xue Di is not stupid; she is one of the smartest people on the entire Douluo Continent!

The reason why the Snow Empress said that was simply to follow the Ice God's lead and give the Ice God face!

Xue Di understood that the Ice God had said so much to her, which could only mean two things: either he intended to pass the throne to her, and all those things before were tests, but now that possibility had been clearly ruled out, then only the latter remained—the Ice God needed her help!

It sounds absurd that a dignified god would ask a soul beast from the lower realm for help, but that is the truth!

After the Snow Empress finished speaking, a hint of pleasure flashed in the Ice God's eyes.

Ice God was very happy; he had met a smart person!

The Ice God did indeed have a request for the Snow Empress. Otherwise, no matter how much the Ice God admired the Snow Empress, or how similar the Snow Empress was to the Ice God in his youth, the Ice God would never have revealed so many things about the God Realm to a soul beast he had never met before!

"You are very clever! I do have something I would like to ask for your help with!" The Ice Goddess said slowly, her jade lips slightly parted.

"I wouldn't dare!" Xue Di thought to herself, "As expected," but outwardly uttered two words humbly.

The Ice God chuckled and said, "I wish to have you assist my successor in becoming a god! Of course, I will not force you. I will bestow upon you a divine essence. With this essence, as long as you do not appear before the gods, no one will be able to discover your soul beast form, and you need not worry about any divine successor causing you trouble! In addition, after the matter is accomplished, I will grant you 100,000 years of cultivation and the cultivation methods of the elven race!"

"In the future, whether you choose to become a god through the cultivation of a million soul beasts or to become a god independently as a human, you will be guaranteed a future!"

"how?"

The Ice God looked at the Snow Empress calmly, not worried at all that the Snow Empress would refuse!

No soul beast could refuse the conditions she offered!

The Snow Empress was quite sensible. After hearing what the Ice God said, she knew she had no right to refuse, so she nodded and decisively said, "The Snow Maiden is willing to serve the Ice God!"

The so-called assistance to the successor of the Ice God to become a god is actually to protect him, just like Qian Daoliu is to Qian Renxue. This kind of thing is not difficult for the Snow Emperor. In the entire Douluo Continent, the Snow Emperor is confident that there are only a handful of beings who can threaten her, and there is not a single one who can kill her in front of her!

Although one cannot inherit the divine status, anyone would know which choice to make: to exchange a dozen years of cultivation for ten thousand years of spiritual power and a divine essence!

What embarrassed the Snow Empress was that the Ice God already had a successor, yet he hadn't announced it earlier; it made her seem somewhat presumptuous before.

"Okay! Let's go back!" The Ice God smiled slightly when he saw that the Snow Emperor had agreed. With a wave of his hand, the Snow Emperor's eyes were covered by a gust of wind and snow. When the Snow Emperor came to her senses again, she had already returned to the far north!

At the same time and in the same place, even the position under her feet had not moved an inch. It was as if nothing had happened, but Xue Di clearly felt that there was a power within her that she herself could not analyze flowing and slowly merging.

It was the divine essence of the Ice God that the Snow Emperor had been searching for for three months without success!

This made Xue Di once again marvel at the power of the gods. Even with her six hundred thousand years of cultivation, she had no chance of resisting a true god!

At the same time, a message also flashed through Xue Di's mind.

Ice God Red-Level Trial: Protect Han Feng's Ascension to Godhood! Reward: Increase your cultivation by 100,000 years, and the Snow Elf Cultivation Method!

"Han Feng? Is this the successor of the Ice God?" Snow Empress murmured, somewhat puzzled. She had only been given a name; how could she possibly know who Han Feng was?

However, the Ice God would not be so careless. When the Snow Empress silently recited Han Feng's name, a figure gradually appeared in the Snow Empress's mind.

A lean and wiry physique, a handsome face that still held a touch of youthful innocence.

"How could it be him!?" Xue Di's eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed!
