Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

"Since you still exist, why didn't you show yourself during Shui Bing'er's trial? She is your successor."

Higewen frowned slightly, her eyes searching.

Skadi turned her gaze to Shui Bing'er, her tone tinged with helplessness.

"The trial is a necessary path for her. Only by overcoming her inner demons can she truly inherit my power. If I appear, I will only disrupt her trial. Even during the Dragon God era, the rules of the divine realm stipulated that no one was allowed to interfere with the divine trials."

"What do we do now?" Siegwen asked softly, her gaze fixed on Shui Bing'er. A hint of worry lingered in her eyes, as if she feared Shui Bing'er wouldn't be able to withstand the chill.

Skadi looked at Shui Bing'er, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

"Besides, this wasn't originally your plan, was it?" Leosley's voice remained calm, but it carried an undeniable power.

Skadi paused slightly, as if his words had touched upon some deep-seated memories within her.

"you're right."

Skadi realized she couldn't hide it from them, and it seemed there was no point in explaining further, so she could only sigh.

“I really don’t want her to inherit the divine position.”

"Why?" Leosley frowned slightly.

"As you surely know, I am a beast-like deity. You humans have said it yourselves: those not of our kind are sure to have different hearts. If it weren't for the rules of the Dragon God back then, do you think I would have distributed my bloodline to humans?" Skadi scoffed. "Back then, during the Dragon God War, although it was Ragnarok, if I didn't want to fight, I had many places to run away to, but..."

“I overheard the Dragon God and that Asura plotting to split Him in two, so that when the Dragon God is reborn, beasts can become gods.”

"So from that moment on, I had an idea, and that was it."

“That is to leave behind a legacy and use humans to become gods again,” Leosley continued, “by activating bloodlines and possessing bodies to be reborn.”

Skadi turned her gaze to Leosley, her eyes conveying a hint of affirmation.

"Yes, but I didn't expect the Dragon God to modify the rules so powerfully." Skadi gave a wry smile. "I originally intended to use humanity's inner demon trials to make them kill each other, but..."

"That great battle not only brought Ragnarok to the gods, but also caused the fall of the beast gods."

The Ice God Temple Trials were originally intended for beasts.

Therefore, Skadi wants the beasts to inherit the throne and become the new Ice Goddess once again.

As for the human Skadi, she originally had no intention of leaving any survivors.

"But that's a bit strange. Aren't soul beasts supposed to be able to transform and rebuild their cultivation? Why don't you do that?" Sigwen's eyes were filled with inquiry.

“If I had a choice, I would want to do that too.” Skadi sighed. “But even if a beast rebuilds itself, the God Realm can tell. Although you Soul Masters can obtain Soul Rings from the outside world at level 70, it is still a Soul Beast in essence.”

"So what if I have to rebuild? Once a soul beast, always a soul beast."

"Well," Siegwen wanted to say something, but Leosley's words made her shut up for the time being.

Leosley seemed to have guessed what she was planning to do.

“Yes.” Skadi nodded. “Originally, I was going to directly possess the genius, but…”

Skadi glanced at Leosley. The plan was good, but things just hadn't gone according to plan.

These two are too strong.

She can't beat him.

Shui Bing'er is the human with the strongest talent that she sensed from the scattered bloodlines. In addition, after obtaining the Ice Dragon King's Dragon Ball and activating it, the power of the Ice God bloodline should be even stronger than her peak.

The problem is, Leosley's divine power is also quite strong. At least, Frost is completely outmatched.

Of course, Skadi might not be able to beat her either.

Skadi is no longer thinking about possession and rebirth.

"Since you already know, why even start the assessment?" Leosley asked.

He clearly wanted to be reborn by borrowing another's body, but things didn't go as planned, and now he's started some kind of trial.
"Perhaps we've waited so long and are getting a little tired of it."

Skadi gave a wry smile, seemingly resigned to her fate.

“I have an ability to observe the experiences of those who have inherited my bloodline from the scattered bloodlines.” Skadi sighed softly, a hint of melancholy in her eyes. “I saw this human girl’s childhood, which, even though it was somewhat dark, always maintained the purity of ice.”

“Over the years, I have seen the humans who have inherited my bloodline become more talented, but their hearts have become corrupted.” A trace of sorrow flashed in Skadi’s eyes. “I have never felt the fragility and evil of humanity so clearly. These humans use my bloodline to achieve their own success, but they also become corrupted because of my bloodline.”

Talent can make or break you.

Moreover, Skadi didn't know what was going on, but almost all of her scattered bloodlines were circulating among women.

Perhaps it's because of the repulsion between people of the same sex, or perhaps it's just human nature's inherent flaws.
But neither of them is good.

But she saw Shui Bing'er's childhood, which, despite its darkness, still retained the purity of ice.

Skadi's voice carried a hint of relief, as if she could see the light in Shui Bing'er's heart.

She herself was such a being when she was in the God Realm, so naturally she had some affection for Shui Bing'er.

Perhaps it's because Shui Bing'er's personality is somewhat similar to hers when she was young?

"So you chose to give her a chance, even though it went against your plan." Leosley's voice carried a hint of coldness.

He has the utmost disdain for people who use high-sounding excuses to do bad things.

Although the Ice God didn't really want to harm anyone, if you succeed, the person will directly possess your body and be reborn. Will you still recognize Shui Bing'er then?
Leosley's words startled Skadi slightly, a hint of shame flashing in her eyes. She sighed softly, seemingly regretting everything she had done.

"Yes, I admit, I did have selfish motives."

Skadi lowered her head slightly, seemingly feeling ashamed as if she had been touched on a sore spot.

"But aren't you worried that Shui Bing'er might not be able to hold on?" Leosley's gaze was fixed on Skadi, as if trying to see through her heart.

Skadi turned her gaze to Shui Bing'er, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

"I have indeed thought that perhaps after this trial, I will never appear again."

Although she was no match for the dragon gods in the great war, as one of the beast gods, she was unwilling to perish like that.

Therefore, she left herself a backup plan back then.

That is, leaving one's consciousness in this Ice God Temple.

To prevent herself from perishing completely, she merged her consciousness with the Ice God Temple.

In this way, even if the gods know where she is, as long as she doesn't appear, they can only find an empty temple at most.

If Shui Bing'er fails the trial, her consciousness will return to its original state, and she will be reborn by possessing another body.

But now, it's no longer necessary. (End of Chapter)
