Chapter 78 (Seeking First Subscription!) The Far North Journey Ends
"I understand," Hyotei said.
"So you're actually forcing me to choose the path those two beast kings took, making it your means to become a god?"
"It's still a bit different." Wang Dong'er smiled. "At least you don't have to wait until I become a god to be resurrected."
"What does this mean?" Hyotei asked, somewhat confused.
"For a 100,000-year-old soul beast to become a human soul master's soul ring, either the human soul master's body must be able to withstand it, or the soul beast must voluntarily sacrifice itself. But the sacrifice method is now outdated."
Hyotei: ...
"My teacher and I have developed a method for controlling the soul."
"The Art of Souls?"
"If you hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast to make a soul ring, the soul beast's intelligence will be erased. But even if the soul beast sacrifices itself willingly, its soul power will be diminished as it uses soul skills. You should be aware of this as well."
"According to you, the Soul Technique you've developed is to solve this problem?" the Ice Emperor asked.
"The method of the soul spirit... the soul spirit, could it be that this method can preserve the intelligence of the soul beast?" Ice Emperor immediately grasped the key point.
"To be precise, it means keeping your soul alive," Wang Dong'er said. "As long as your soul remains, even if you don't become a god, you can still live in this world."
"Your lifespan is now reduced to less than a hundred years. Even if you wanted to use this time to defy your death date, do you think you could succeed?"
"Here's a piece of news for you, free of charge: Soul Beasts cannot become gods. This is the rule of the God Realm, and also the rule of the Soul Beast God, the Dragon God."
"What?!" Hyotei was indeed shocked by this news.
Judging from all indications, even if what Wang Dong'er said was only half true, it was still very valuable for reference.
But if that statement is also true, then the meaning is completely different.
"I can swear in the name of the Ice God and ice, so you should understand now." Wang Dong'er finally revealed the Ice God and the rule of swearing by ice, completely breaking down the Ice Emperor's defenses.
For the intelligent soul beasts of the far north, swearing an oath in the name of the Ice God and ice is the most important oath, and not just anyone can know it.
At least the super ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest wouldn't know this; at most, only Di Tian would know.
Hyotei finally realized that the seemingly weak and pitiful human in front of them was actually the real big boss.
Wang Dong'er knows far too much, and there is a mountain of evidence to corroborate her words.
With external threats from Niu Tian and Titan, and internal lobbying from Wang Dong'er, Hyotei finally began to seriously consider Wang Dong'er's conditions.
"So, as long as I cooperate with you and use this Soul-Spirit Technique, I can become your soul and retain my own?"
"That's right." Wang Dong'er nodded. "And at the very least, I will definitely have a stable path to godhood."
Compared to the initial god-making process described by Tianmeng Bingcan to Bingdi in the original work, Wang Dong'er's transformation into a god is almost a true visualization, with a clear path to the future in sight.
"I have another question." Hyotei's crystal-yellow eyes stared directly at Wang Dong'er as she asked, "Since you know about my relationship with Yuki-tei, what's your take on it?"
"What do I think?" Wang Dong'er remained noncommittal. "You are the second most powerful soul beast in the far north. Do you need to consider other people's opinions or ask what they think before you do what you want?"
Hyotei was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Wang Dong'er's answer to be neither optimistic nor pessimistic.
"However, even though I have great strength, it is nothing in front of Xue Di, and she doesn't understand my feelings at all." Bing Di sighed.
"There are so many things in life that people don't understand." Wang Dong'er didn't say much more. Anyway, the matter between the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress was none of her business.
Electrolux then spoke up, saying, "Disciple, your spiritual space is indeed unpredictable and mysterious. The power of fate is truly wondrous."
"The power of destiny? What are you talking about?" Hyotei asked in confusion.
"If it weren't for the power of fate separating us, how could we have brought you in?" Electrox said. "Take a closer look and feel it."
"An Imperial Beast?" After carefully sensing her surroundings, Ice Emperor looked at Wang Dong'er and asked, "Are you human or an Imperial Beast?"
"I am genuinely human," Wang Dong'er said. "However, I did indeed have a connection with the Imperial Beast."
"I see. No wonder I had a special feeling when I first met you. That's not surprising."
"So what should I do now?" After realizing the deeper special nature of Wang Dong'er, Hyotei had already composed himself.
"Wait a moment," Wang Dong'er said. "The Soul Spirit Technique is only in its initial stages and still needs further adjustments from the teacher based on the actual situation. That's why I came to you."
"..."
outside world.
"Big brother, do you feel anything?" Titan asked, looking at Wang Dong'er.
"No, but judging from the current situation, it should be alright." Niu Tian shook his head. He was just a tool to suppress the Ice Emperor. Now, apart from his subordinates holding down the Ice Emperor's main body, he could only feel Wang Dong'er's steady breathing. He didn't know much more than Titan.
Titan was anxious, and so was he.
However, Hyotei's reaction was indeed too calm, as if there was no soul in their body.
But if the soul isn't here, where else could it be? Niu Tian thought it was just his imagination and didn't pay any attention to it.
Just then, Wang Dong'er finally opened her eyes, her pinkish-blue pupils flashing with golden light. Strange golden runes floated out from between Wang Dong'er's eyebrows and landed on the body of the Ice Emperor in front of her.
As these golden runes fell, Hyotei's body began to slowly emit golden light, and then disappeared in the dazzling golden light.
"Gone? Gone?" Titan's throat bobbed slightly, speechless with astonishment.
Is this how sacrifices are performed? How did they sacrifice Tang San back then?
Not to mention Titan, even Niu Tian, who always considered himself indifferent, was full of surprise. He did not feel any fluctuations or repulsion from the sacrificial force field, as if the Ice Emperor's body had simply disappeared.
"Did it work?" Titan couldn't help but ask.
"It's a success," Wang Dong'er said, but her martial spirit and spirit rings were not revealed.
"Now that we've succeeded, let's head back," Niu Tian decided.
Although things seemed a bit strange, with Tang San backing her up, nothing could possibly happen to Wang Dong'er.
Wang Dong'er stood up and took one last look at the vast expanse of white snow.
In reality, she and Electrox were just using the undead demiplane as a smokescreen; the true soul fusion would begin later.
