Chapter 276 The Naive High Priestess of the Ice God

"You needn't be so surprised; the gods have their own plan!"

Seeing Han Feng's simple-minded appearance, Xue Di sighed helplessly and continued, "The Ice God has already bestowed his inheritance upon you. Now I will take you to receive the divine inheritance. You only need to follow me!"

Having said that, Xue Di said no more and turned to walk in the northwest direction.

Han Feng naturally agreed in every way. Just thinking about inheriting both the defensive deity and the ice deity at the same time, not to mention anything else, the rewards from the fifteen divine trials alone would be enough for Han Feng to take off on the spot!

However, when Han Feng saw that the Snow Empress was still heading northwest, his eyes twitched, and he said to the God of Defense, "Elder Yu, tell me the truth, was the opportunity you urged me to find last time the inheritance of the Ice God?!"

"That's right! If you had just taken the Ice God's inheritance last time, none of this would have happened!" The God of Defense snorted and readily admitted.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

No wonder that opportunity was so attractive to his second martial soul; it was the divinity of the Ice God!

"Elder Yu... that's not fair! Haven't you been hoping for a successor all this time? Why are you in such a hurry to send one away now that you've finally found one?" Han Feng blinked and teased.

"Hmph! You're getting the benefits and you're still acting innocent!" The God of Defense snorted and cursed irritably.

Han Feng chuckled, a glint in his eyes, but said nothing more.

Han Feng knew that the God of Defense was definitely hiding something from him. Otherwise, given the God of Defense's stubborn temperament, he would never have been willing to share his successor with others. In the original story, the God of Asura and the God of the Sea were fighting over the successor. The God of the Sea was only a first-level deity, while the God of Asura was a law enforcement officer of the God Realm, a dignified God-King. The fact that the God of the Sea dared to challenge the God of Asura showed that even in the God Realm, there were prejudices!

But Han Feng didn't say it, after all, he didn't really believe that the God of Defense would harm him.

The God of Defense also said that if Han Feng didn't want it, the God of Defense could personally step in and help Han Feng resign from the title of Ice God!

This shows that the God of Defense is still on Han Feng's side. It must be that the God of Ice and the God of Defense made some kind of deal that Han Feng is unaware of. The key to the problem still lies with the God of Ice!

What Han Feng didn't know was that it wasn't the Ice God and the God of Defense who had made a deal, but rather another deity who was eyeing him who had made a deal with the God of Defense!

This is also something Han Feng can't understand: what could the Ice God possibly see in him?

Although the True Ice Martial Soul is not bad, it is still far from the ultimate ice. I have basically never cultivated True Ice, my understanding of True Ice is very shallow, and my control over ice and snow is negligible!

Han Feng preferred to believe that the God of Fire had taken a liking to his talent and wanted him to become the God of Fire's successor!

At least the flames on the Shield of the Blazing Sky are gradually transforming into ultimate fire!

Despite his doubts, Han Feng was not worried. Regardless of the Ice God's reasons for passing the throne to him, the benefits were real!

If it's just a mutually beneficial transaction, Han Feng wouldn't mind inheriting the Ice God's divine status. But if the Ice God really has some conspiracy that Han Feng can't accept, he can simply not inherit the divine position. Han Feng has seen plenty of sugar-coated bullets and such, and he won't be blinded by a divine status!

Who says that becoming a successor of a deity means you have to inherit the deity's power?

One cannot inherit a divine position without completing the divine test, having insufficient affinity with the deity, or having inadequate control over the power and order of the deity. Even the Ice God himself cannot forcibly pass on the position, right?

"Oh! Right!" Gathering his thoughts, Han Feng reminded the Snow Empress before him, "Senior! Beyond the Ice God's inheritance, the Titan Snow Demon King might be lurking. Please be careful!"

Although Han Feng didn't think that the mighty Ice God High Priest could be defeated by the Titan Snow Demon King, he still felt it was better to give her a heads-up.

Han Feng mainly wanted to use this high priest to teach Titan Snow Demon King a lesson!

Han Feng is very vengeful!

What Han Feng didn't see was that when he mentioned Titan Snow Demon King, the Snow Empress, who was walking ahead, had a flicker in her cold eyes. Recalling her conversation with the Ice God two months ago, she sighed softly and pondered with a hint of envy, "You don't need to bother with him. You are the Ice God's chosen successor, and you also possess another powerful divine nature. As the inheritor of two deities, you are destined to become a god!"

"But he is merely a soul beast from the lower realm, forever unable to become a god, only able to eke out a living under the heavenly tribulation. The slightest carelessness will lead to his untimely death and his turning into ashes!"

"With your status, you don't need to get worked up over a soul beast!"

The Snow Empress said this for two reasons: first, out of resentment at the unfair treatment of the soul beasts, and second, to plead for the Titan Snow Demon King.

Han Feng is destined to become a god. Once Han Feng grows up, if he harbors even the slightest intention to kill Titan Snow Demon King, Titan Snow Demon King will surely die!

As the queen of the far north, the Snow Empress regarded all the soul beasts in the far north as her subjects. Naturally, she did not want the Titan Snow Demon King to die at Han Feng's hands. Moreover, the reason why Han Feng hated the Titan Snow Demon King was because of her.

But Han Feng was unaware of all this. He rolled his eyes inwardly when he heard Xue Di's words.

He never expected that the high priest in front of him was actually a pacifist!

"So you knew, senior!" Han Feng grinned. But thinking about it, it made sense. After all, the place where Han Feng encountered the Titan Snow Demon King was outside the Ice God's inheritance. The aftershocks at that time flattened the glacier. As the High Priest of the Ice God, the Snow Empress had no reason not to know!

Since that's the case, Han Feng stopped hiding it and frankly admitted, "Since Senior already knows, then this junior will not hide it from you. Senior's yearning for peace is certainly not wrong, but this junior's heart is not that open-minded. Besides, becoming a god is a matter for the future. Even if I can not hold a grudge against Titan Snow Demon King after becoming a god, that is still a matter for the future!"

After hearing Han Feng's words, Xue Di's eyes dimmed.

Although Han Feng didn't say it explicitly, Xue Di understood that Han Feng wasn't going to let Titan Snow Demon King off so easily!

Han Feng's choice is perfectly reasonable. If Han Feng really let Titan Snow Demon King go because of her words, Snow Empress would think that Han Feng lacks his own opinion and is weak!

Titan Snow Demon King was doomed. Snow Empress hesitated for a moment, then sincerely pleaded, "If possible, please spare his life!"

Ultimately, the Snow Empress couldn't bring herself to sacrifice herself for the Titan Snow Demon King. After all, Han Feng had two great deities behind him, and even the Snow Empress herself was now Han Feng's protector. It was already more than enough for her to ask for the Titan Snow Demon King's life!

Is this what happens to a simp?

But these words didn't sound quite right to Han Feng.

Han Feng suddenly felt that this High Priest of the Ice God was a bit too naive!

Titan Snow Demon King has over 100,000 years of cultivation and is incredibly powerful. Both his spirit rings and spirit bones are treasures that no spirit master can refuse!

In fact, Han Feng's first target in defending against the 100,000-year-old soul beast of the Fifth Divine Trial was Titan Snow Demon King!

First, to avenge the dead; second, to pass the divine test; and third, for the soul bone and soul ring!

Even if Han Feng borrows a Yama's Decree from Tang San, he'll still kill Titan Snow Demon King!

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhenbing's seventh spirit ring will be Titan Snow Demon King!

Han Feng hadn't expected that this High Priest of the Ice God would actually plead for the Titan Snow Demon King—in this era, humans and soul beasts were sworn enemies, with no possibility of a third option other than a life-or-death struggle. Could this High Priest of the Ice God possibly be hoping for peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts?!

What kind of naive person would think that?!

Perhaps this High Priest of the Ice God has spent his entire life in the far north, living among soul beasts, and all his soul rings were bestowed upon him by the Ice God, which is why he has such thoughts!

Thinking of this, Han Feng couldn't help but feel distant from this High Priest of the Ice God.

Han Feng doesn't dislike kind people, nor does he deny that naivety is a valuable trait, but he doesn't want such kind and naive people around him!

Han Feng had originally thought of making this Ice God High Priest his backer, just like Qian Daoliu was to Qian Renxue, but now it seems he should give up!

If Han Feng were to one day clash with someone, and this Ice God High Priest were to say something like "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot," Han Feng would be so disgusted he'd vomit!

If your values ​​don't align, it's best not to force a relationship.

Even so, Han Feng still needed this High Priestess of the Ice God to guide him to obtain the Ice God's inheritance, so he couldn't be too honest with her. He simply shrugged and said insincerely, "I'll do my best!"

Xue Di could easily tell that Han Feng was being perfunctory. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she sighed and said no more, which relieved Han Feng.
