Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 404 The Ruins of the Ice God: Help Find the Successor?
The gaze shifts from the statue to other areas, offering a panoramic view.

The palace was quite large, but there was almost nothing of value at first glance.

If we had to say what's valuable, it would probably be this statue in front of us.

Is there really anything good in here?

Shi Yu couldn't help but become suspicious, and subconsciously glanced at the energy shield that enveloped the palace.

This statue was one of only two things he considered valuable in the area.

If he could take this energy shield with him, then his trip would not have been in vain.

Unfortunately, this is clearly impossible.

Shi Yu's senses covered the entire palace, trying to clearly perceive the specific situation within it.

After repeatedly sensing the area without making any significant discoveries, his gaze finally settled on the statue.

This is the one that feels most special to him; it probably contains something hidden inside.

"Excuse me, is there anyone here who is a senior?"

Shi Yu tried calling out, but he didn't know if there were no living beings inside or if they had simply not appeared.

He tried calling out many times but received no response. He continued to predict and deduce using his precognitive abilities but found nothing.

"Has this temple been abandoned?"

Shi Yu was basically certain that there were no temple messengers or anything like that inside the temple.

The palace looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

"Even the realm of gods doesn't know if the Ice God still exists."

This situation likely stems from two possibilities: either the Ice God no longer wishes to pass on his divine position, in which case the temple would naturally become unnecessary.

Then, something happened to the Ice God, which rendered the temple unnecessary.

He wasn't sure which situation it was; he only cared about what benefits he could gain now.

His gaze could only fall on the statue, which seemed to hold some benefit.

Slowly approaching the statue of the Ice God, he pondered whether he should break it.

If the Ice God no longer exists in the realm of gods, then breaking the statue will not have much of an impact.

But if the Ice God still exists in the realm of gods, then doing this would be somewhat offensive.

It is obviously unnecessary to offend a deity in the divine realm for no reason.

Upon approaching, he didn't rush to attack. Instead, he released his Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone and attempted to resonate with the ice attribute energy of the statue using the ice attribute energy on his soul bone.

At first there was no reaction, but slowly, the surface of the statue began to glow with an icy blue light.

Shi Yu was slightly pleased, but also became more cautious, preparing to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

The light gradually diffused and fell to the ground. Some patterns that were not originally there began to appear as the light passed through, as if the hall was being slowly activated.

Shi Yu wasn't sure what was going on, but his intuition told him that it didn't seem to be a bad thing.

The once dimly lit palace became bright, and some damaged parts were repaired by energy, making the dilapidated buildings look somewhat new.

A surge of icy energy began to flow into Shi Yu's body through the Eight Spider Spears.

Shi Yu instinctively wanted to resist, but after using his precognitive abilities to predict good or bad fortune, he stopped moving and allowed the energy to enter his body.

This also seems to be a test, perhaps testing his talent.

Shi Yu waited quietly, still having some guesses about the outcome.

Just like when I underwent the test with the Phoenix God, my innate talent for cultivation is sufficient. However, since my attributes are unrelated to fire, it's still unlikely that I can obtain the Phoenix God's inheritance.

The current situation is similar. His own attributes are unrelated to ice, so it is unlikely that he can obtain the inheritance of the Ice God, and he doesn't really want to obtain the inheritance of the Ice God.

Several minutes passed before the energy flowed out of his body; the assessment took an unusually long time.

Shi Yu looked at the statue and couldn't help but feel curious, wondering what the outcome would be.

The Ice God statue shone with a dazzling light, and a ball of light gathered between the statue's eyebrows, slowly descending towards Shi Yu.

Shi Yu let the ball of light enter his brow. His body trembled slightly, and a lot of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

After processing this information, Shi Yu's expression became somewhat strange.

"You won't give me any benefits, yet you want to take advantage of me for free?"

This was the first time Shi Yu had encountered such a situation. The message the Ice God was giving him was to help him find a successor.

They didn't say whether they would receive any benefits; there might be, there might not.

This was too random, making him seriously suspect that the Ice God was trying to get something for nothing.

"Where am I supposed to find a successor for you? Are you suggesting I look for Huo Yuhao?"

The one most suitable to inherit the Ice God's legacy is definitely an ice-attribute Soul Master, and the only one he can think of is Huo Yuhao.

If it were this era, it seems that only Shui Bing'er would be suitable.

That person's martial soul was an ice phoenix. Even if it wasn't the ultimate ice, its level should still be very high. After all, it was associated with a phoenix, so it couldn't be too bad.

It's worth mentioning that both dragon and phoenix martial souls are quite powerful, but their effectiveness varies from person to person.

Just like there must be relatively weaker Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Soul Masters in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

There are also very weak Clear Sky Hammer Soul Masters in the Clear Sky Sect.

It doesn't mean that having this kind of martial spirit will necessarily make you powerful. The strength of your martial spirit and your own strength are not necessarily related.

Of course, powerful martial souls often have a high lower limit, and sometimes this lower limit is the upper limit for other martial soul owners.

Take the Dragon God Martial Soul for example. Even if the owner of this Martial Soul is mentally challenged, they can definitely become a top-tier expert, at least at their limit.

The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul can also guarantee a relatively high minimum standard, but this minimum standard cannot be compared with that of the Dragon God.

Shui Bing'er struck him as a rather mediocre Ice Phoenix Martial Soul user.

As he was pondering this, he suddenly felt something, followed his gaze, and was startled.

Outside the protective barrier where he had been, the figure of the Snow Emperor appeared.

Her expression was puzzled; she didn't know how such a protective barrier could exist underground.

"Can't she see me?" Shi Yu asked, seeing Xue Di's expression. He realized that he hadn't been able to see clearly inside from the outside either.

But now that he can see outside, he almost forgot about that.

After entering the protective shield, he lost contact with the four god-level mechs and had no idea what was going on with them.

His orders to the four god-level mechs were to lure the Snow Emperor away, take her a distance, and then fly north out of the far north to wait for him 500 miles away.

Given the strength of four god-level mechs, it's unlikely that they would be destroyed by the Snow Empress.

He had considerable confidence in the strength of the four god-level mechs. Even if they couldn't defeat the Snow Empress, they shouldn't have been destroyed so quickly, especially since not much time had passed.

"I wonder if the Snow Empress has any chance of gaining the Ice God's approval?"

Shi Yu couldn't help but think of this question as he watched Xue Di try to enter.
