Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 431 The Snow Empress's Fate Changed, Farewell to the Snow Empress

"I thought something had happened to you."

When Shi Yu returned to Mingdu and met Jing Hongchen, she said with a slight complaint.

As things stand, Shi Yu is considered his student. How could he not be upset when Shi Yu skips class without explanation?

"Sorry, I was delayed by some cultivation matters," Shi Yu apologized with a light laugh.

Jing Hongchen stroked her chin, circled around Shi Yu, and scrutinized him.

"You seem to have changed quite a bit again?"

Jing Hongchen really felt that Shi Yu was changing every day, becoming more and more ordinary.

But this is clearly not because the other party has actually become ordinary, but rather it has a sense of returning to simplicity.

As his strength grew, Shi Yu now made Jing Hongchen feel like he was just an ordinary person.

This is definitely an unusual situation, indicating that you can't see through the other person.

"Let's continue with the research."

Shi Yu changed the subject, not really wanting to talk about it anymore.

Seeing that he couldn't get any answers, Jing Hongchen didn't waste any more time on it and started discussing soul tools with Shi Yu.

Back at the hotel that evening, when Elder Xuan saw Shi Yu, he couldn't help but ask him what changes had occurred in him.

Let alone Jing Hongchen, even someone with Xuan Lao's strength had some difficulty seeing through Shi Yu.

Shi Yu's answers were all rather perfunctory; there was no need to make his strength known to everyone.

Over the next few days, Shi Yu tried to adapt to his current power.

That night, Shi Yu once again sneaked into Mingde Hall without making a sound.

Compared to before, it is now much easier for him to sneak into Mingde Hall, as if he were entering his own home.

He went to Jing Hongchen's office again, but he did not see Xue Di's embryo there.

"It can now be basically confirmed that the current Snow Emperor has not become an embryo and is still in the far north."

Shi Yu thought to himself that after returning, he had lost some memories about the Snow Emperor's embryo.

This led him to speculate that, perhaps due to the discovery of the Ice God's legacy, the Snow Empress's fate had changed compared to the normal timeline.

The fact that he hadn't seen the Snow Emperor's embryo here confirmed his suspicions.

Although the fate of the Snow Emperor has been changed, the fate of the Ice Emperor has not.

He still retains the memory that Huo Yuhao's martial soul is the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

As soon as Friday's classes ended, Shi Yu arrived in the far north.

For him now, traveling from Mingdu to the far north takes only half a minute, making the journey extremely fast.

Upon arriving in the far north, he took a step forward and appeared near the ice and snow trees in the core area of ​​the far north, which was the territory of the Snow Emperor.

"who!"

A cold voice rang out, followed by a small, icy sword.

The Ice and Snow Sword may seem ordinary in power, but it actually brings a considerable sense of crisis to Shi Yu now.

The Snow Empress immediately used the Emperor Sword, one of her three ultimate techniques, clearly indicating that she was aware of the strength of the enemy.

Instead of revealing his identity to make Xue Di withdraw her attack, Shi Yu activated his spatial soul core.

A soul core resembling a black hole vortex floated out from his dantian, appearing in front of him and causing the surrounding space to collapse rapidly.

The Emperor Sword's power was rapidly reduced as it entered the collapsed spatial area.

Shi Yu continuously activated the spatial soul core to release spatial power to fight against the Emperor Sword.

By the time the Emperor Sword was about to touch the spatial soul core, its power had weakened to the point of being unusable.

The moment they made contact, the Emperor Sword turned into ice and snow powder and scattered, failing to harm Shi Yu.

The Snow Emperor appeared high in the sky, her expression solemn. The person who appeared was very powerful.

But when she saw who it was, the magical power surging within her faltered. "It's you?"

Xue Di's eyes widened, a strange feeling of dread washing over her.

Shi Yu put away the spatial soul core, smiled and waved to Xue Di: "Long time no see, Xue Di."

"How could it be you?"

Xue Di was somewhat incredulous, carefully observing Shi Yu's appearance and sensing his aura.

His appearance was almost identical to that of ten thousand years ago, and his aura had become much stronger, but it was still certain that this was the person he had seen ten thousand years ago.

"How did you manage to survive until now?"

The other party is a human, after all. How can a human live for ten thousand years?

Could it be that the other party is actually a soul beast, but I just didn't realize it?

It seems that only this explanation makes sense; otherwise, it is inexplicable.

"I encountered some unexpected events."

Shi Yu began to explain to Xue Di, using the same explanation he had given to Jin Gang before.

"There are actually ways in this world that allow humans to live for so long."

Xue Di has certainly broadened her horizons; she still finds it somewhat unbelievable, but she has no choice but to accept the fact.

After all, Shi Yu was standing right in front of him, and he could even tell him about their past relationship; it couldn't be an imposter.

"How are you doing?"

Shi Yu inquired about the Snow Empress's condition, noting that she seemed to be approaching 700,000 years old.

According to the original story's progression, she would have already attempted to transform and rebuild her body.

He was still very curious to know how the current Snow Empress had changed compared to the original story.

“Not good. For years I have been searching for a snow lotus that is 100,000 years old. After searching for more than 9,000 years, I finally found a snow lotus that meets the requirements a few decades ago.”

“But you never came back, and you were already dead by now. Even if I found a snow lotus that was 100,000 years old, I wouldn’t dare to try it easily.”

"We're still refining the transformation details. We only have one chance, so we can't risk it lightly," said the Snow Empress.

"Aren't you worried about your seventh tribulation?" Shi Yu asked.

The Snow Emperor shook her head and said, "Over the years, I have often gone to the temple of the Ice God to cultivate. Under the influence of the Ice God statue, my foundation has become much deeper, and I am confident that I can survive the seventh Heavenly Tribulation."

"So that's why the change happened."

Shi Yu suddenly realized that in the original story, the Snow Emperor was probably in a hurry to transform into human form and took a great risk.

This time, she doesn't need to worry about the seventh heavenly tribulation, so she can take it slow.

Even if it takes another 100,000 years, we can afford to wait.

Since the Snow Empress did not take human form, it was naturally impossible for a human soul master to capture her.

"So how confident are you now?" Shi Yu asked.

"Fifty percent," Xue Di said after thinking for a moment.

Then, looking at Shi Yu, he added, "If you were here, you might be able to help me, increasing the probability to 70%."

"How can I help you?" Shi Yu asked, as he himself really didn't know how he could help Xue Di.

Xue Di had already thought it through and revealed her plan.

“No problem, when do you plan to try it?” Shi Yu agreed.

He was able to do the favors she asked for very well, even better than she had expected.

"There's no time like the present, let's do it today," said the Snow Emperor.

I've been eagerly anticipating it for a while now. Achieving a 70% success rate in transformation is already the limit; further improvements won't lead to any major breakthroughs.
