Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 9 The Disadvantages of Extreme Attributes, the Change of Snow Queen
Life in the core circle of the Far North is somewhat boring.

Although Shu Yan felt that his PUA-like speech touched Xue Di's obsession with becoming a god and achieving eternal life, Xue Di was still Xue Di. She had witnessed too much in her hundreds of thousands of years of life in the Far North. A short period of absent-mindedness and touch was not enough to completely move her. Shu Yan had expected this. His original plan was just to plant a seed in Xue Di's heart. He never thought that Xue Di would be so foolish as to believe him directly.

Although Shu Yan's last action that day was a bit offensive, Xue Di didn't seem to care. She fully proved that what she said was not empty talk. As long as Shu Yan stayed with peace of mind, she would give him as many precious cultivation resources from the outside world as he wanted, even including three precious thousand-year-old ice marrows.

Shu Yan accepted it all, and after absorbing the fourth soul ring, his cultivation level soared to level 43. In just three days, with the help of a large amount of resources, he had stabilized his cultivation level and began to move towards level 44.

Xue Di would come to see him from time to time. The two of them sat on opposite sides of the ice table. It was rare for someone to take the initiative to speak, but once someone did, they would be able to chat for a few words. After a long time, the two of them seemed to have a better understanding of each other.

Shu Yan's current cultivation level has not reached the level of fasting, but this place is located in the core area of ​​the core circle of the Far North, so there is no need to think about fresh fruits and vegetables. The most that Xue Di brings back from the outside world every day is a few small soul beasts like snow rabbits to barely satisfy his appetite.

As for why he didn't hunt it himself, the reason was very simple. Such weak soul beasts were almost never seen in the core circle, and his range of activities was limited to this palace. Once he stepped out of the palace, the human aura on his body would dissipate, and trouble would definitely be inevitable.

Unexpectedly, Xue Di, who was as cold as an empress, was very interested in the food that Shu Yan simply baked. At first, Xue Di came because of the smell, but after they spent a little more time together, when the time came, Xue Di would take the initiative to wait at a fixed position. Her expression also changed from the initial stiff and cold to the current state of being accustomed to it. She would even occasionally reveal a faint smile when she heard Shu Yan talk about interesting things in the outside world.

Although the smile was fleeting, Shu Yan could always accurately discover that Xue Di's changes were visible to the naked eye. This was exactly the situation Shu Yan wanted to see. As long as he could get Xue Di to join the group, many things would become simple in an instant.

Shu Yan sometimes regretted why his patience was so poor in his previous life, which resulted in him only having a rough understanding of the plot after traveling through time, and he couldn't even figure out the general plot.

But this is no longer important. His time travel is destined to disrupt the original plot development. Xue Di is the best example. In this increasingly chaotic situation, only one's own strength is the hard truth.

Shu Yan thinks that he is not a good person. He can even become a pure bad person to achieve his goals. Good or evil, everything is just a matter of thought. Rules and constraints exist for people like him, but the reason for their existence is only shaped by his own heart. The rules and constraints in the eyes of the world seem particularly ridiculous in his eyes.

……

Before he knew it, three months had passed in a flash, and Shu Yan had been practicing in the core circle for three months. Just as his soul power had broken through to level 44, his practice speed was also much faster than before due to the bonus of the environment. Of course, the reason for the faster practice speed must also include the feeding of Xue Di.

The cultivation speed of ultimate attribute martial spirits between levels 30 and 70 is much slower than that of ordinary attribute spirit masters. With each level increase, subsequent breakthroughs will become more difficult. This is why ultimate attribute spirit masters, despite their outstanding talents, lag behind others in the early stages of cultivation speed.

But everything in this world always requires a balance.

The cultivation speed of ordinary attribute soul masters before level 70 is indeed much faster than that of extreme attribute soul masters, but if the soul master's cultivation exceeds level 70, then this situation will be completely overturned, and it will become easier for extreme attribute soul masters to cultivate and advance, and even the upper limit will be much higher than other ordinary attribute soul masters. The Ice Snow Girl is born to control the extreme ice, and is a spirit of heaven and earth truly born from ice and snow, but if you really want to get entangled in the issue of the attributes of the Ice Snow Girl, in fact, the Ice Snow Girl clan should really possess the extreme ice and snow attribute, not just the extreme ice.

There is no doubt that the ultimate ice and snow is stronger than the ultimate ice. This means that people with the Ice and Snow Girl martial spirit will have a harder time practicing than people with ordinary ultimate attributes. Shu Yan strongly agrees with this.

The daily interactions with Xue Di are still in the process of getting familiar and slowly heating up. Shu Yan is very patient in this regard. Before he has the ability, conquering the heart is always the best strategy, but at the same time, he can't help but feel touched deep in his heart.

The birth and budding of feelings all have prerequisites. Whether it is the affinity between their own blood or the bits and pieces of getting along with each other in the past three months, Shu Yan has already clearly sensed the difference in Xue Di.

She was adapting to this change bit by bit, and her mentality was slowly changing and sinking. How could someone who had experienced warmth and happiness be willing to plunge into coldness and loneliness again? The subtle change was the most terrifying, because it was a reflection of the reality of a person's inner desire. This was the change of Xue Di, and it was not in vain that Shu Yan had paid so much.

During the fifth month in the Far North, Shu Yan still had no idea about anything in the outside world. His world was buried in heavy snow and wind, cut off from the outside world, but it was also a different feeling.

Xue Di once again started discussing the matter of becoming a god with Shu Yan. The difference from the last time was that this time the two exchanged many different opinions. Shu Yan almost revealed all his ideas. The touch in Xue Di's eyes was real, and she was obviously very moved.

At the same time, Xue Di also told Shu Yan her thoughts.

She already had a premonition that she would definitely not survive the 700,000-year catastrophe, but her desire for life made her think of another way, which was to transform into a human, climb to the top again in human form, and fight for the illusory eternal life.

But that being said...I guess only Xue Di herself understands the actual sadness and pain.

Soul beasts cannot become gods, this is an iron rule. Even if they transform into humans, to some extent, they are still soul beasts. Wanting to become gods is nothing more than a dream. On the contrary, Shu Yan's path to "creating gods" has a greater hope of success.

Perhaps because she understood her own situation too deeply, Xue Di finally formed an alliance with Shu Yan after careful consideration.

Rather than sitting and waiting for death, it is better to give it one last try before death comes. This is Xue Di's idea, and it is also in line with her character. After she and Shu Yan swore an oath of ice and snow to each other, the two were truly tied to the same canoe at this moment. From then on, they would suffer together and prosper together until their lives were completely extinguished...
