Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 87 The Ice God's First Test!
"After I stepped onto the ice platform, a voice suddenly appeared in my mind that told me to take human form."

Xue Di stood beside Dugu Han, her brows furrowed: "I'm not sure if this is truly the inheritance of the Ice God, so I'm hesitating about whether to take human form."

"With your cultivation level, you need external help to transform into human form. Have you found a 100,000-year-old snow lotus?" Dugu Han frowned.

There is only one 100,000-year-old snow lotus in the entire far north. Not long ago, Bajiao told him that he had found traces of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus!

If Xue Di snatches it away beforehand, what will Ba Jiao do?

“I didn’t look for it, but the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow can also help me transform into human form.”

The Snow Emperor raised the bracelet made from the marrow of ten thousand years of mysterious ice.

She gave seven of the forty-five Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows to the Ice Emperor, four each to the Titan Snow Demon King and Little White, and one each to the soul beast races that helped Dugu Han provide soul rings. In addition, she gave one to the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King, and one each to the Ten-Thousand-Year Titan Snow Demon King, who initially found Dugu Han, and the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade Scorpion King.

There were also the two that had just been given to Dugu Han, and the three Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows that she herself had absorbed.

Currently, the Snow Empress still possesses twenty strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. With these twenty strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, she is absolutely confident that she can survive the Heavenly Tribulation of seven hundred thousand years, or even eight hundred thousand years.

Therefore, it also means that she has at least 200,000 years to live.

However, once she takes human form, if she cannot become a god, she can only cultivate to the Limit Douluo level at most, and can only live for another two or three hundred years.

A lifespan of 200,000 years and a lifespan of 200 to 300 years.

This is an incredibly huge gamble.

The Snow Empress was willing to gamble her life to become a god and achieve immortality, but that was only when there was no other way.

Now, she stands beside a human who knows a great deal about the divine realm, so she doesn't need to be the gambler.

"So, can you confirm if this is the Ice God's legacy?" Xue Di stared intently into Dugu Han's eyes.

Dugu Han stared at the strange ice platform for a moment, then pondered, "You were standing on that ice platform when the voice that made you take human form suddenly appeared in your mind, right?"

"Correct!"

The Snow Empress pondered, "You said that soul beasts cannot become gods, so after that voice appeared in my mind, I wondered if this was the inheritance of the Ice God, would I need to take human form to activate the inheritance?"

"But as you know, although humans can cultivate at an incredibly fast speed, their lifespan is too short. If this weren't the Ice God's inheritance, I wouldn't have been able to become a god after transforming into human form, and I would only have a lifespan of two or three hundred years!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Han looked into Xue Di's beautiful eyes and said, "I have a way to be 100% certain that this is not the inheritance of the Ice God, but I need your trust."

"I have said that you are my friend forever in the far north, and you will always be my friend. I will always trust you."

Xue Di's tone was no longer flat; it carried a hint of human warmth.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Han smiled.

Anyone who can be unconditionally trusted by another person will experience immense psychological satisfaction.

He looked at the Snow Empress and asked, "Do you remember I told you that the divine throne is yours, but others can also participate in the divine trial?"

Xue Di immediately understood and said, "You mean you want to stand on that ice platform to verify the authenticity of the Ice God's inheritance by whether you can pass the divine test?"

"Not bad!"

"This is the simplest and clearest way."

Dugu Han smiled and nodded, saying, "Moreover, the mural also says that the Ice God, like you, is an elf born from ice and snow. The divine inheritance must belong only to you. I will at most conduct a divine test."

"I'm not afraid of you taking it away; you can't withstand one blow from me."

Xue Di raised her palm and said.

"..."

"Actually, you don't have to be so blunt."

Dugu Han smiled helplessly, then became serious and walked towards the ice platform that shimmered with an eerie light.

Xue Di watched intently from the side, her usually calm expression unconsciously becoming tense.

She wasn't afraid that Dugu Han would steal her divine throne; what she feared was that this was just a relic of the Ice God, not a true inheritance.

"call!"

Dugu Han arrived at the ice platform, took a deep breath, and stepped onto it.

The moment he stepped onto the ice platform, the once tranquil platform suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.

Immediately afterwards, beams of dazzling and chilling icy blue light burst forth from inside the ice platform, enveloping his entire body.

Xue Di watched intently from below the stage, her hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

Amidst the icy blue light, Dugu Han felt a momentary lapse in consciousness, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself in a boundless glacial world.

In the glacial world, everything is covered in white snow, except for a jade tree and a woman sitting under the jade tree holding a jade rabbit, stroking the rabbit's soft fur.

Dugu Han looked at the woman's aloof face and felt a strange sensation in his heart.

This woman is not the same as the statue in the main hall.

"Are you the Ice God?"

After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and respectfully asked.

"no!"

The woman looked up at Dugu Han, her gaze settling on the Moon Goddess's Tear in his hand. Then, her tone softened as she said, "The Ice God has fallen. I am the Moon Goddess, here to inherit the Ice God's divine position."

"Luna?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Dugu Han's eyes, but he quickly accepted it.

In the original novel, the position of the God of Love was managed by Ning Rongrong.

“You are not the Ice Goddess, so you cannot inherit the position of the Ice God.”

At this moment, the Moon Goddess said again, "That Ice and Snow Maiden is capable. Her lifespan has reached 700,000 years. Although she has not survived the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation, she is qualified to start the divine inheritance. If you help her become a god, I will give you the Ice God test."

What is the Ice God's First Trial?

Dugu Han's eyes showed confusion.

The moon goddess reached out and touched his brow.

next second!
A snowflake mark appeared between Dugu Han's eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, a clear, cold voice rang out.

[The Ice God's First Test]

[Help the Ice Goddess complete the ninth trial, reward: all of the Ice God's cultivation experience] After receiving his trial task and reward, Dugu Han looked at the Moon Goddess in surprise.

The entire cultivation experience of a deity is far more important than a million-year-old soul bone.

The Moon Goddess knew that this reward was a bit too much, and explained, "The Ice Goddess has been gone for too long. The divine power she left behind to inherit the divine position has dissipated to the point that it is only enough to inherit her own divine position. I cannot give you any more rewards."

"I have a question."

Dugu Han asked in confusion, "Since the Ice God has been dead for so long, why didn't he pass on his divine position to the Snow Emperor, the Ice and Snow Maiden you mentioned, sooner?"

"Only the Ice Goddess, whose cultivation has reached 700,000 years and whose cultivation is the same as that of the Ice God before becoming a god, is qualified to inherit the Ice God's divine position."

After answering her questions, the Moon Goddess stroked the fur of the jade rabbit in her arms and asked, "Any more questions?"

"No, but you are the Moon Goddess..."

Dugu Han hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have a girlfriend who is exceptionally talented, unmatched in the entire Douluo Continent. She also possesses the Moon Martial Soul, which has now evolved into the Silver Moon."

"If you can find the place where I inherit my legacy, I will bestow it upon you."

After the Moon Goddess finished speaking, she pointed at Dugu Han.

Dugu Han felt a blur before his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was back on the ice platform.

"How about it?"

When Xue Di saw that he had opened his eyes, she asked anxiously, "Did you pass the divine test?"

"The Ice God's First Trial!"

Dugu Han touched the snowflake mark on his forehead and said, "The assessment task is to help you complete the ninth test. The reward is..."

"Wait!"

Xue Di suddenly interrupted Dugu Han, then frowned.

"What's wrong?" Dugu Han asked, puzzled.

Xue Di sensed the voice in her mind, then raised her hand and froze Dugu Han in place.

"?"

Dugu Han looked at Xue Di with surprise and asked, "What are you doing?"

"The voice in my head appeared again. She said that the Ice God's legacy was on you and that I should take it back from you."

Xue Di frowned and slowly leaned out her forehead to press it against Dugu Han's forehead.

"No, you are..."

Dugu Han was completely dumbfounded when he smelled the fragrance emanating from Xue Di!

The moment their foreheads touched.

A dazzling, icy blue light shone from the snowflake mark on his forehead.

Before long, the light disappeared!
The snowflake mark was then transferred to the Snow Emperor's forehead.

The mark then flickered briefly before disappearing.

Only after the Snow Empress takes human form can the true inheritance of divine status be initiated.

At the same time, Xue Di also learned that Dugu Han's divine test was to help her complete the ninth test, and her gaze towards him became even more affectionate.

"..."

Dugu Han looked at the Ice God statue speechlessly.

He knew that the divine power left by the Ice God to inherit the divine position was about to be exhausted.

But surely it shouldn't be that even the succession to a divine position has to be given by oneself?

You don't even have this much divine power left?

Dugu Han shook his head and then took another look at his divine test mission.

Fortunately, although the snowflake mark disappeared, the Divine Trial mission is still ongoing.

Moreover, the reward for the mission is still all of Ice God's cultivation experience.

However, it helped Xue Di complete her ninth test.

Dugu Han fell into deep thought.

The Snow Empress is the true ruler of the far north. Even after she became a spirit in the original story, the spirit beasts of the far north still obeyed her commands.

Not to mention that she is inheriting the throne of the Ice God!

With the help of all the soul beasts in the far north, she still needs the help of an outsider like me to complete the ninth trial...

As Dugu Han pondered, he caught a glimpse of the mural on the wall and had a vague realization!
"Sea Soul Beast!"

"The Arctic Ice Sea!"

Dugu Han frowned.

The far north ice sea was originally subdued by the Ice God.

However, after the first sea god conquered the sea, the sea spirit beasts of the far north ice sea also changed their allegiance.

But now, neither the first generation Sea God nor the second generation Sea God Tang San are in Douluo Continent.

With the Snow Empress ascending to the throne as the new goddess, she will undoubtedly reclaim the Arctic Ice Sea.

"I think I know what your ninth test is now!"

Dugu Han looked at the mural on the wall and said.

Do you mean the far northern sea?

Xue Di also looked at the mural. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If that's the case, the ninth test will be difficult to complete."

"The patriarch of the mermaid clan there, the Sea Princess, is a soul beast with golden bloodline and over 600,000 years of life. After I transformed into human form, Ice Emperor and Xiaobai were no match for the Sea Princess."

"or……"

Snow Empress said in a deep voice, "I will kill her first, and then transform into human form to activate the Ice God's inheritance. At that time, the ninth trial can be completed with the help of Ice Empress and Xiaobai."

"But it will waste a spirit ring that is over 600,000 years old!"

Dugu Han smiled and said, "What do you think about using her as my eighth or ninth spirit ring?"
