This staff is also an artifact of the Ice God.

"Go."

Shui Bing'er didn't say much, but simply bowed to the Ice God.

He then left.

Watching Shui Bing'er's departing figure, the Ice God smiled and said, "She really is a polite and good child."

Then, the Ice God's gaze seemed to pierce through the void, looking in one direction—the direction of the Snow Emperor.

The Ice God watched for a long time, then disappeared.

Not long after, Shui Bing'er left the Ice Palace.

"Huh... Sister, the mark on your forehead... you've received the inheritance of a god!" Shui Yue'er exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone looked over.

"It really is true, the same mark as the moon. It really is the location of a deity."

"Bing'er is about to ascend to heaven."

"What a beautiful staff."

Xue Di looked over, extremely envious, wishing she could go in too.

Shui Bing'er glanced at Xue Di secretly, wanting to say something, but then kept her mouth shut.

"Sister Snow Empress, thank you so much. If you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have been able to receive the Ice God's inheritance."

"This is fate, and it's also your ability. Look, even we can't get in. The Ice Goddess may have already taken a liking to you." The Snow Empress smiled.

"Ice God, you really are a good match for me," Xiao Ze said with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

The following week.

The group then helped the Snow Emperor deal with matters in the far north.

Then he took Xue Di and Xiao Bai and left the far north.

Only Titan Snow Demon King remained alone in the far north.

He watched Xue Di's departing figure, tears welling up in his eyes.

I've only been asleep for hundreds of years, so why have all my other friends left?

I'm all alone now.

This life is so meaningless.

However, for the sake of the Snow Emperor, the Titan Snow Demon King must also manage the far north well.

Now, it seems he'll be dormant for at most ten years.

┭┮﹏┭┮

After Xue Di became Shui Bing'er's spirit, she took Xiao Bai to take the divine test.

The other women also left one after another.

Only Qian Renxue and Shui Yue'er remained by Xiao Ze's side.

"Hmm...it's a little strange." Xiao Ze leaned against Qian Renxue's lap, eating the fruit that Shui Yue'er handed him.

"Isn't it enough that the two of us are with you?" Qian Renxue tapped the tip of his nose.

"That's enough, of course. It's just that they'll probably be gone for a long time this time. I really miss them after not seeing them for so long."

"That's true, you two probably haven't been apart for this long before, have you?"

"Well, we haven't been apart for a month since we met, have we?"

“You’re alright, and aren’t you going to travel the continent? Maybe we’ll run into each other on the way.”

"Yes, let's go!"

Chapter 383 Volcano with Abnormal Temperatures

Traveling across the continent with Qian Renxue and Shui Yue'er by his side, Xiao Ze wasn't so bored.

Xiao Ze brought Qian Renxue and Shui Yue'er to a rural area near the far north.

Because this area is close to the north, it is extremely cold, with temperatures dropping to minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius at times, making cultivation here very difficult.

However, once the three entered the village, they could see a large expanse of golden farmland in the distance, which was extremely beautiful.

"I remember that it was not allowed to plant crops here at this time of year." Shui Yue'er often went to the far north, so she knew this very well.

Qian Renxue's fingertips brushed across the full ears of wheat. "Xiao Ze, you have truly done a great deed."

Xiao Ze smiled and replied, "I'm not as great as you think. I just want merit and faith."

Qian Renxue shook her head: "That's not how it is. A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Even if your purpose wasn't for their benefit, your actions have made their lives much better, so in their hearts you are the best."

The people's mindset is very simple.

"I didn't expect you to have such a view. You've not been crown prince for nothing." Xiao Ze was slightly taken aback.

"Nonsense, how many years have I been the crown prince? I've handled many things myself. Xueye is just a sickly man."

"What brings you three here?" After a short while, an old man slowly walked over.

Xiao Ze looked at him and asked, "Grandpa, I don't think you could grow anything here back then?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes reddened slightly: "It's more than that. Not only can we not grow many things, but sometimes even the spirit beasts from the far north will rush out. Over the past hundred years, countless people in our village have died or been injured."

"Then why don't you leave?" Shuiyue'er asked.

“Girl, you seem to be from a wealthy family. We are just ordinary people. Even if we can leave here, where can we go?”

We don't have the money to buy a house in a big city, so we can't settle down. Rather than this constant wandering, it's better to just survive here; at least we have a place to live.

Upon hearing this, Shuiyue'er fell silent.

She comes from a prominent family; Tianshui Academy belongs to her family, so she doesn't really know much about it.

"Is it better now?" Qian Renxue asked.

The old man nodded emphatically: "It's much better now! His Highness the Holy Son has given us some cold-resistant and high-yielding seeds for free. Even if we don't sell them, at least we won't starve."

With the addition of the Soul Tower in the far north, no more soul beasts from the far north will come out to kill us now.

Although we may not have made much more money, at least we can survive, and many people who had left our village have even come back.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze felt somewhat uneasy.

The ordinary people just want to survive.

"Grandpa, live well. You will see the Martial Soul Empire become even better."

The Martial Soul Empire is undergoing reforms; who knows, this place might become a big city in the future.

The old man laughed and said, "Thank you for your kind words. I will definitely live a little longer."

The three left the village with very complicated expressions.

"Now I understand why Brother Xiao Ze has so much merit and faith. It would be a problem if he didn't have that."

Xiao Ze's brother's crops and Soul Tower saved the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Qian Renxue sighed, "Yes, in this era where power and authority reign supreme, the upper class doesn't treat them as human beings. The city is filled with dazzling lights and revelry, while outside the city, corpses litter the ground."

“They are actually very simple.” Xiao Ze paused, then continued, “People’s needs actually increase step by step.”

Physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs.

"The most basic needs are physiological needs. Only by giving them the most basic qualifications to survive will they have hope."

"Brother Xiao Ze actually knows about this kind of thing, that's amazing!" Shui Yue'er looked at Xiao Ze with admiration.

Xiao Ze was both amused and exasperated: "How could I have such a thought? I heard it from other people."

"Brother Xiao Ze is also very capable."

Xiao Ze patted his little fangirl.

Qian Renxue stretched and said, "Let's go, let's continue. This village is just the tip of the iceberg."

Only by traversing the entire continent can we leave the Spirit Empire with a very good set of reforms and policies that can last for at least a hundred years.

"Yes, our Martial Soul Empire has just been established, so reforms are easier to implement."

We can't control what happens to people hundreds of years from now, but right now we need to do everything we can to improve their lives.

In the blink of an eye, four months had passed.

In the past four months, Xiao Ze and his two companions have traversed most of the original Tian Dou Empire.

The three of them met all sorts of people along the way.

I encountered people of all types, including the simple and honest, the cunning and sly, and the incredibly lazy.

He even dealt with many low-ranking officials of the Spirit Empire.

The Martial Soul Empire has only been established for less than five years, yet it already has such low-level officials who harm the people.

That's how it is—the emperor is far away and the heavens are high; that's how it is.

This is something that is very difficult to change.

"I'm tired, let's go back to Wuhun City?" Qian Renxue said.

“Okay, this time we will tell your mother about most of the reforms, so that Bibi Dong can carry out the reforms when we go south.”

"it is good."

……

the other side.

On the blue sea, a solitary peak stands tall.

This is a volcano, with steam columns constantly erupting from its waist and dark red lava churning from its crater at the summit.
