Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 13: Ice Emperor Joins the Gang, Reality

Under the forced oppression of Xue Di, Bing Di finally listened patiently to the whole cause and effect of the incident.

Bing Di then fell into a long silence and entanglement. She was very clear about her and Xue Di's situation. Both of them were unable to survive the next catastrophe. This was an established fact. She also did not agree with Xue Di's idea of ​​transforming into a human to find a way out. The risk of doing so was too great, and the possibility of success was like a major fire in the Far North. There was no possibility at all...

But now, Xue Di has taken the lead in choosing the path of creating a god. For some reason, Bing Di always has a strange sense of familiarity after hearing the word "creating a god", and even has a sense of curiosity in her subconscious. But after thinking about it carefully, she feels a little puzzled.

God, Bing Di was somewhat unfamiliar with the word. In her eyes, God was a realm that she could never reach in her entire life. Immortality and power were the best interpretations and descriptions of this word. Perhaps fundamentally, she longed to become a god.

As her thoughts turned, the look in her eyes as she looked at Shu Yan slowly changed and became more complicated.

The human boy in front of her was the most talented and stunning of all the humans she had ever seen. He was thirteen years old, with a martial spirit of the Ice and Snow Maiden that was comparable to the Snow Empress in purity, complete and ultimate ice and snow attributes, and five black spirit rings. Putting aside his age, none of these items could appear in ordinary humans. But these things that were enough to shock the world now appeared in the same person.

Thinking about the less than 100 years that she and Xue Di had left, and then looking at the young man in front of her who had almost everything equipped and whose face was short of the word genius, Bing Di suddenly felt a little relieved. Maybe, this young man was a gift from God because he was moved by her sincerity towards Xue Di?
In this regard, Shu Yan can only say that sometimes self-strategy is indeed very useful.

The three of them sat cross-legged in front of the ice table. No one spoke first. The three of them were silent for a long time until the Ice Emperor suddenly spoke:

"If I choose to join, with Xue'er and I's help, what are your chances of becoming a god?"

Shu Yan was slightly stunned, then he exhaled lightly and said:

"If the winning rate is less than 98%, what's the difference between that and committing suicide?"

"As everyone knows, I am a person who cherishes my life very much."

"Of course, if nothing unexpected happens."

Shu Yan just repeated the last sentence silently in his heart and chose not to say it out loud.

As soon as these two sentences came out, Bingdi sneered with a slight disdain, and then said:

"Are all of you humans so arrogant? Why do I feel like becoming a god is a trivial matter in your words? Or do I overestimate the difficulty of becoming a god?"

Shu Yan was not annoyed when he heard this, but just said calmly:

"The problem is you, you feel wrong."

Bingdi was stunned when he heard this, and was about to get angry, but was stopped by Xuedi beside him.

Xue Di looked at the two people who seemed to be fighting with each other with some helplessness, but for some reason there was a hint of smile in her eyes. She cleared her throat and said:
"It's useless to argue about these things now. The difficulty of becoming a god is undeniable. But no matter what, since we have chosen a path, even if we know it is a dead end, we have to try it. Life and death are just a thought away. The reason why many people are stopped at the first step is that they are afraid of death. This is an indisputable fact."

Xue Di's words made Bing Di fall into silence again. Although her temper was much more irritable and aggressive than Xue Di's, it did not mean that her IQ was low.

As the seventh of the ten fierce beasts, her strategy and intelligence are among the best even among humans. She has already made up her mind about some things without Xue Di pointing them out. "Hey! Your name is Shu Yan, right?"

Bingdi suddenly said.

Shu Yan nodded slightly and did not deny it.

"Ha ha……"

"Be more respectful to me in the future. Don't think that I won't beat you into a pig's head just because you look like my Xue'er. No one in the Far North except Xue'er dares to treat me like you. Little Shuzi, you deserve to be proud..."

When Shu Yan listened to Bingdi's words, the veins on his forehead twitched, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Little Shuzi?
What a weird name, it sounds like those authors who always run away from a certain Chinese website in the past life...

But putting aside these irrelevant matters, the change in Bingdi's attitude also made Shu Yan breathe a sigh of relief. Although the other party did not point it out directly, judging from his attitude, he basically had no chance of escaping from joining the gang.

As his thoughts turned, Bingdi's little mouth was still chattering something. Shu Yan didn't hear a word of the specific content, but he roughly knew the content. It was nothing more than Bingdi licking Xuedi hard while flattering himself.

Shu Yan thought for a moment, organized his words, and then continued:
"Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, perhaps we can have a good chat about the topic of race."

After he finished speaking, Bingdi opened his mouth slightly and looked at Xuedi, and then they both nodded.

Seeing this, Shu Yan coughed lightly. His voice was calm, but it seemed very contagious, and the hearts of Xue Di and Bing Di slowly calmed down.

"The racial war between humans and soul beasts has lasted for tens of thousands of years. The accumulated hatred is so huge that it cannot be resolved. But like I said, if there is a common goal, people of the two races can put aside their prejudices and reach a consensus."

"Perhaps you have lived in the Far North for so long that you don't know much about the development of the human world, but I want to tell you that humans already have strong people who can rival ferocious beasts, and can even hunt and kill them."

"But humans will not do this unless they have no other choice, because everyone knows that this will only lead to a war between the two races, which will surely cause great suffering to all living beings, and it is not impossible to cause the wrath of the plane."

"In this world, there are three Ultimate Douluo in the human race. These three Ultimate Douluo are all the best among humans. Each of them was a powerful person who shone for an era. Although the world has changed a lot now, they are still strong."

"In a human country called the Sun-Moon Empire, they have even developed a super-large soul guide that is enough to threaten the Ultimate Douluo, not to mention the nine-level soul guide shells whose exact number is unclear but one shot can easily destroy a small city. These soul guides are real and are truly controlled by humans. The gap between soul beasts and humans is slowly narrowing. This is a fact that even Emperor Tian cannot change."

"I hope you can try to change your prejudices against humans. This is not to guide you to give up hatred, but to make you face the reality. There are many geniuses and people with feelings and righteousness among humans. Maybe our emotions are a little complicated for you, but I think that when you really understand this, you will have a completely different view of yourself and some problems."

Xue Di and Bing Di listened attentively, and they didn't even notice that, at some point, another thing called hope appeared in their eyes. Although it was fleeting, perhaps one day they would really hold hope in their own hands. Then, perhaps when they think back to this ordinary afternoon, they would be extremely grateful for their choice that day.
