Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

She explained briefly that she accidentally discovered a 100,000-year-old snow lotus. It is almost impossible for a soul beast that is over 200,000 years old to transform into human form. In fact, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the difficulty. This is because the first step to transform into human form is to compress all the original power into the body. If a soul beast is over 200,000 years old, it is very likely to self-destruct and die at this step.

But with that 100,000-year-old snow lotus, everything changed; she gained the confidence to transform.

But it was precisely because of this that they ran into that guy who suddenly barged into the core area of ​​the far north.

"So... he saved you?" Hyotei's face was full of suspicion, especially as she looked at the snow silkworm on his shoulder. "This cowardly guy would save you? He wouldn't even take advantage of you if he didn't, haha..."

"It's true," Xue Di said softly.

She glanced at Lu Cheng with a complicated expression: "Whatever it is, he saved me after all. I'll consider him a friend."

"As for the future... Bing'er, I'll leave the far north to you. I've failed to transform and I'm afraid I'll never recover. I've managed to hold on for so long because of my profound cultivation, but I'll eventually run out of time."

"Is there really no other way?!" The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's eyes were filled with tears as it clung to the Snow Emperor, seemingly unwilling to let go.

"..."

Xue Di shook her head helplessly.

She glanced longingly at the far north, then gently opened her delicate hand, and a snowflake slowly drifted down onto it.

"I have a way!" Tianmeng suddenly said.

"Say!"

A needle suddenly landed on Tianmeng's head.

Then came Hyotei's anxious yet icy voice.

“Hoo… Sacrifice!” Tianmeng spoke quickly: “Like me, sacrifice to this boy. You have all seen his talent. Even among all of humanity, he is definitely a top-tier and outstanding existence. According to my prediction, he is very likely to advance to become a god-like existence.”

"We soul beasts cannot become gods. Even someone as powerful as the Snow Empress has no choice but to take on the path of human form. But even if we do take on human form, can we become gods? Heh... It's very difficult."

"So I have a plan: to create a god!"

"I've gone all in. If we have Xue Di, our chances of success will increase significantly."

"..."

As Tianmeng finished speaking, the scene became unusually quiet.

Hyotei frowned, wanting to retort, but seeing Yuki's almost vanished appearance, she helplessly shut her mouth.

She wanted Xue Di to live more than anyone else.

"I am willing to offer myself as a sacrifice..."

After a moment of contemplation, Xue Di nodded slightly.

“What Tianmeng said does indeed make sense.”

"How difficult it is for a soul beast to become a god. To have an eternal lifespan and no longer worry about heavenly tribulations, becoming a god is the only way. And if you sacrifice yourself to him, then in the future... you may not necessarily be unable to become a god."

“Actually, there’s no need for a sacrifice.” Lu Cheng shook his head.

He looked at Xue Di with sincere eyes.

He will inevitably go to the Myriad Years of Profound Ice Marrow, and if he does, he will inevitably become estranged from the Snow Emperor. If he knows but hides it, then his so-called honesty is nothing but deception disguised as lies.

"I know of a place with ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow, the amount of which is enough for the Snow Emperor to condense her physical body again."

"What Tianmeng said is not the only option."

"..."

The scene was eerily quiet.

Tianmeng was filled with helplessness. How could this silly child be so honest? How could what he said at this moment be a lie? Although it didn't know where these things were either, but...

If you're going to say something, you should wait until the Snow Emperor has completely sacrificed himself before revealing it.

Hyotei's eyes were even more strange.

However, Xue Di's usually calm and composed eyes flickered for a moment.

Friends...

Chapter 101 Snow Empress: Master, are you satisfied with my soul skills?

"Really?!!"

Hyotei transformed into a pretty girl with delicate emerald green hair, her two pigtails swinging back and forth, her pretty face full of surprise and doubt.

That's the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. Tianmeng was able to advance to a million-year cultivation level thanks to this stuff. For ice-attribute soul beasts, it's an absolute must-have, even more precious than a hundred-thousand-year snow lotus. If what she encountered earlier wasn't a snow lotus but the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, then the Snow Emperor wouldn't have had to risk transforming into human form. Instead, she would have directly chosen to break through the next Heavenly Tribulation bottleneck.

It has existed for over 800,000 years, and is on par with top-tier ferocious beasts such as Di Tian and Xie Yan.

"Tell me where that thing is, I'll go get it right now..." Hyotei said urgently.

"In a cave within the Earth Dragon Gate, in the human territory of Dragon City, located in the southern part of the far north, on the border with the human realm," Lu Cheng said quickly, taking a deep breath.

No, that's not necessary.

Xue Di suddenly spoke, her nearly 1.8-meter-tall, slender and graceful figure looking down at Lu Cheng, her sky-blue, noble and ethereal eyes gentle and beautiful: "I choose to sacrifice myself for him and become his martial soul."

"Snow Emperor, you..." Ice Emperor looked surprised, then said with some anxiety.

"This is my choice, Bing'er," Xue Di said softly.

"But the place he mentioned isn't too far from here. I can retrieve it in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Everything is clearly in time. Snow Emperor, why..." Ice Emperor was somewhat irritable and frustrated, but dared not disobey Snow Emperor's words, and sullenly spoke.

“He clearly didn’t want to reveal this information, and I would have sacrificed myself for him, but he did say it, and personally pushed away the sacrifice of a soul beast with over 700,000 years of cultivation from the far north…” Snow Empress said softly.

“That’s not fair to him.”

"..."

Hyotei fell silent.

"Atai is coming soon, remember to stop him for me..." Xue Di said slowly.

Hyotei turned her head away without saying a word, but glistening tears still clung to the corners of her eyes.

"Silly girl, I'm not dead." Xue Di said helplessly, like a gentle older sister, bending down and extending her fair and flawless hand to wipe away the tears with her delicate, white fingers, and gently patting Bing Di's head.

"I am only offering myself as a sacrifice to him, and I will return someday in the future."

"At that time, I might already be a god."

"But before that, I still need to ask you to protect the children of the far north..."

……

"Boom!"

The earthquake trembled.

A layer of snow seemed to rise around them, and as the white mist dissipated, a colossal body that blotted out the sky slowly emerged. When the Titan Snow Demon King saw this, his eyes instantly turned red, and he was about to slap the boy who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, enduring torment and pain.

But in the next instant, the rough, giant hand covered with snow-white, hard hair abruptly stopped in mid-air.

"If you want the Snow Emperor to die completely, her soul scattered, then do it." A delicate, pretty little girl with two pigtails spoke slowly, her face displaying an indifferent expression that belied her age.

"roar~"

The enormous creature took a dejected step back and then sat down on the ground.

Her voice unconsciously lowered a few decibels.

"Big worm, the Snow Empress sacrificed herself to him... is that alright?" the Ice Empress asked calmly.

"...This." In his palm, a timid and hesitant expression appeared on his face.

How could it guarantee a 100% success rate? The Snow Empress had already failed to transform into human form, was still in the embryonic stage, and had suffered severe injuries. It could only be said that the success rate was not low.

Hyotei's eyes flashed dangerously: "If we fail, you won't survive either!"

"Don't worry, I sacrificed myself to Xiao Cheng, so we're in the same boat. I couldn't escape unscathed long ago," Tianmeng sighed.

I don't know how much time passed.

The surrounding snowflakes fell more and more, obscuring the boy's figure beneath the thick snow, as if all life had been lost, leaving him deathly silent.

Just as Hyotei's patience was about to run out.

A crack appeared on the thick snow, followed by more and more cracks. Finally, Lu Cheng's body burst through the heavy snow, and between his brows, a complex yet ancient light blue pattern was revealed, like the purest snowflake in the world.

"Third Martial Soul, Snow Maiden!"

As the eyes slowly opened, an extremely imposing aura emerged from this seemingly insignificant body.

“Bing’er, Atai…” Lu Cheng uttered a female voice.

"From now on, the far north is in your hands."

"Alright!" Hyotei slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes softening considerably, yet still tinged with a hint of longing and reluctance.

The next instant, Xue Di's eyes changed, as if the real Xue Di had returned to this body, and Zhen Lucheng had logged in.

"..."

He clenched his fist, feeling the abundant power within his body. After acquiring the Snow Emperor, he no longer needed to mobilize the essence of the sun within his body to ward off the extreme cold of nearly two hundred degrees below zero. Instead, it was as if he had completely merged into this snowfield, becoming one of the thousands of snowflakes.

Feeling the cold, I even enjoyed it somewhat.

While becoming his third martial soul, Xue Di also gifted him a 700,000-year-old left leg bone, which was the source of his pain during the absorption process. He poured a huge amount of primordial power into the left leg bone and then absorbed it. Although this avoided the risk of self-destruction, the pain was unavoidable. A thick layer of blood scabs fell off his skin, making his face even whiter and more handsome.

His soul power naturally soared to level fifty-seven.

"As your first spirit ring, I also give you three spirit skills, which are the unique skills that made me famous: Emperor Sword, Emperor Palm, and Emperor Frost Heaven."

"If you like, you can give it a try."

Snow Empress materialized her true form beside Lu Cheng and spoke in a gentle and soothing tone.

"Emperor Sword, Unparalleled Ice Extreme!" Lu Cheng didn't hold back either. The seven hundred thousand-year-old orange-gold demonic sword beneath his feet had seven golden patterns that appeared and disappeared, making it look even more majestic and powerful.

A long, icy sword slowly materialized in his hand, and to everyone's surprise, a delicate hand emerged from behind him, grasping Lu Cheng's hand as if embracing the young man from behind.

"..." Lu Cheng looked somewhat surprised.

"Concentrate." A clear and pleasant voice rang in my ears.

Lu Cheng's eye twitched.

He had no choice but to obey the Snow Emperor, while two dangerous gazes fell directly on him from not far away, and the pressure from the two ferocious beasts made him feel like he had thorns in his back.
