Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 431 Snow Emperor
Tang San glanced at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm beside him and asked, "Even if the Snow Empress were to rule the entire Arctic Continent now, do you think the Ice Soul Beasts would worship the Snow Empress or the Ice God?"

The answer is actually unnecessary to ask, because everyone knows the answer: it must be faith in the Ice God!

"This is the answer. No matter what faith you have, it's useless because there is still a god above your faith. Without a divine position and not being chosen by the god, no matter how capable you are, it's useless. You can't collect the power of faith. Even if I saved the Rakshasa clan, although they worship me, they regard me as the new Rakshasa god. The power of faith still essentially belongs to the Rakshasa god."

Tang San looked up at the sky and said calmly, "Since the last one became a god, countless years have passed on the Douluo Continent. Countless heroes and powerful figures have emerged, but none of them have been able to become gods."

"The God Realm is full. The God Realm is full of gods and divine beings. If you were not born in the God Realm, and your parents are not gods, then don't even think about becoming a god. The path to godhood has been completely controlled by the God Realm Committee. And the so-called God Examination is the same; it's just a process of the old gods selecting people."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm swallowed hard and couldn't help but look up at the sky. This time, it felt as if the blue sky and white clouds were a cage, as if countless eyes were looking down from above, making it shiver.

"Young Master, is becoming a god only possible through a divine position?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked curiously.

Tang San looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and laughed, "Now you know how ridiculous your god-making plan is, right? If the person you choose is not chosen by the gods and does not qualify for the Nine Trials, then you will never be able to become a god on your own. Even if you can give him twin or even triple martial souls and make him the strongest in history, it won't work. In the end, he will die with you when his lifespan is exhausted in a few hundred years."

"Ah, this." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't help but shrink its head. Its god-making plan was very simple: to create an extremely powerful soul master, and then seek divine trials or faith to become a god.

Looking back now, it turns out that you also need divine intervention and connections!
Tang San laughed and said, "Why are you panicking? I have a divine position. Even after Rakshasa God died, I still had the Nine Trials. It just so happens that it left me a divine position."

"Young Master, if we really want to become a god through our own strength, is there a way?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm still didn't give up and asked with great curiosity.

After pondering for a moment, Tang San said, "Yes."

"have?!"

"War, an unprecedented war, an apocalyptic war that stains the seas, glaciers, forests, and land red. Only in chaotic times can the end of the world be possible. At that time, almost all humans and soul beasts will be wiped out, and all divine inheritances and beliefs will be severed and buried in the long river of history. When the gods cannot descend and cannot save, the instinctive faith of living beings will be interrupted. They will yearn for a savior to appear and save them, and that savior will replace them as the new center of faith, worshipped and believed by soul masters and soul beasts all over the world. That savior may become the new god, pulling the old gods down from their altar and taking their place."

Tang San said, "Haven't you noticed that no matter what kind of god it is, whether it's the Sea God, the Ice God, or whether it's evil or light, its faith is worshipped by both Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. It's the common ruler of all living beings in the world, right? So ruling only one region isn't enough for people to have faith in it; it needs to be the common ruler of an era."

"And the apocalypse fits this perfectly."

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm smiled and said, "Such a thing is impossible. With a powerful being like the Snow Empress, the Star Dou Great Forest, and human soul masters, how could something like the apocalypse happen?"

Tang San smiled meaningfully, but didn't say anything.

"Hehe, as long as I cling to Young Master's thigh, I can easily become a god. I'm so smart." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't forget to flatter him.

Although the god-making plan was cool, clinging to a god's coattails was much more comfortable. Although the two of them, the human and the insect, seemed to be moving very slowly, Tang San had already reached the Soul Saint level and had mastered spatial attributes. Each step he took actually covered a great distance. Soon, the human and the insect arrived at the most important and central location of the Arctic Continent.

Despite the exploration and interference from Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the journey was smooth, and they silently crossed all the territories of the soul beasts to arrive at the foot of this towering snow peak.

As Tang San stood beneath the snow-capped peak, the moment he touched it, a chill filled the air, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, ten or even a hundred times colder than the surrounding blizzard.

"Young Master, be careful. This snow-capped peak is imbued with the Snow Emperor's aura and is now part of her territory. Some areas are filled with the Snow Emperor's ultimate ice soul power; one wrong move and you could be frozen into an ice sculpture."

Unable to withstand the power of this freezing force, they might all be frozen into ice sculptures in the blink of an eye, and perish from the extreme cold.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm returned to its original form, transforming its body into a layer of snow-white, transparent skin that draped over Tang San to resist the power of extreme ice, while its soul returned to its Wisdom Soul Ring.

Tang San didn't waste words with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. He had fully recovered from his battle with Ice Emperor. With a whoosh, eight bone wings of the Nine-Headed Bat King appeared behind Tang San. Then, his eyes narrowed, and his body transformed into a red light, shooting straight into the sky from the foot of Snow Peak.

Boom! Tang San made no attempt to conceal his soul power, unleashing a terrifying surge of soul power.

Above the snow-capped peaks, above the clouds, lies a colossal ice palace, a place akin to the Star Lake or sacred ground of the Star Dou Great Forest. Not only the Snow Empress, but also the Ice Empress, Titan Snow Demon King, and other soul beasts intimately connected to the Snow Empress reside within this ice palace.

"Huh?! This soul power!" The Ice Emperor, who was recuperating and cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes. This soul power was all too familiar!

Then, Titan Snow Demon King and a giant white bear soul beast also noticed the fluctuation of Tang San's soul power, and that the opponent was heading straight for the Ice Palace.

Before Titan Snow Demon King could even say a few words, Tang San's deafening voice came from outside the Ice Palace: "The ruling emperor of the Arctic Continent, may I have an audience?"

A chill enveloped the world, and the Ice Emperor's sharp gaze suddenly shot toward the entrance to the Ice Palace.

"This guy is really courting death! How dare he come to the Ice God Palace." The Ice Emperor laughed angrily, thinking that Tang San was really determined to hunt her down, and said in a gloomy tone.

Instantly, a powerful and fierce wave of soul energy swept across the area. Faintly, footsteps seemed to come from the entrance. Titan Snow Demon King and other 100,000-year-old soul beasts focused their gazes on it, and then they saw a figure gradually emerge from the cold air.

The figure stood tall and imposing, draped in a snow-white cloak, with an expression as calm as still water. He stood before the Ice Emperor, Titan Snow Demon King, and other 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and then a voice echoed throughout the Ice God Palace.

"Tang San of the Haotian Sect has come here to discuss matters with the Snow Empress. He hopes to meet her!"
