Chapter 8: Clarification, First Step on the Road to God-Making

Shu Yan looked up at the Snow Emperor's near-perfect pretty face, then chuckled and shook his head.

"Impossible, Snow Emperor. Your disgust and resistance to humans are on the surface. The reason I am a special existence here is nothing more than the Ice Sky Snow Maiden martial soul I possess and the bloodline in my body that is almost of the same origin as yours. Without these, I'm afraid there would be four more corpses on the edge of the Extreme North Land today..."

"Humans and soul beasts are naturally hostile existences. The path of human advancement requires stepping on the lives of soul beasts. You are the Emperor of the Extreme North Land. Compared to ordinary soul beasts, your hatred for humans will only increase, not decrease."

I don't know when it started, but the Snow Emperor's slender jade fingers tapped on the throne made of thousand-year cold ice marrow. The crisp sound kept ringing in the hall and also echoed in Shu Yan's heart.

The next second, the Snow Emperor's slender phoenix eyes swept over Shu Yan. Shu Yan only felt his scalp numb, as if all his secrets were exposed in front of the other party, but he still supported himself to look at the Snow Emperor.

After a long time, ripples appeared in the Snow Emperor's eyes, which were as calm as dead water. Her red lips opened slightly, and then she said word by word: "This Emperor will not allow a human who possesses the Ice Sky Snow Maiden martial soul to walk out of the Extreme North Land, unless you can defeat this Emperor with your own hands."

Regarding Shu Yan's existence, her heart was undoubtedly contradictory.

On one hand, she extremely hated and resisted humans, but the aura and bloodline on Shu Yan made her uncontrollably feel close to the other party. Even if she did have the intention to kill, she could never bring herself to do it. The contradiction in her heart made her have no idea how to deal with Shu Yan, so she simply imprisoned him in the Extreme North Land, which also saved him from harming the Extreme North Land after he rose in the human world in the future.

And the other reason is actually hard to say.

The Snow Emperor has lived in the Extreme North Land for hundreds of thousands of years since her birth, from the initial weakness to the current Emperor respected by all races in the Extreme North. The loneliness and pain in her heart are unimaginable and incomprehensible to anyone. Even the Ice Emperor can only manage to alleviate this mood to a certain extent. Her heart is missing a piece, and that missing piece is the longing for companions and warm happiness, and all of this, she saw a faint possibility in Shu Yan...

So, Shu Yan bet right. The Snow Emperor wouldn't kill him. In some aspects, she couldn't bear to kill him.

But to this, Shu Yan just smiled lightly, feeling no surprise.

Such bizarre things as transmigration had already happened to him, and it was difficult for other things to make him have big emotional changes.

Shu Yan looked at the Snow Emperor seriously. After this complete awakening of the talent domain, his face became more handsome than before, and he also had a unique, otherworldly temperament. Even from the perspective of the current Snow Emperor, the elegance and calmness Shu Yan exuded in every gesture were still fascinating. No wonder Xu Jiujiu's feelings gradually changed during their childhood sweetheart interaction, and finally got out of control...

"Snow Emperor, let's not talk in riddles. Perhaps besides this nonsense, we have another matter that both sides are more interested in to talk about..."

Shu Yan coughed twice again. The sound was not loud, but it made the Snow Emperor clearly feel that the youth in front of her seemed to have changed into a different person, and his temperament suddenly became sharp.

The Snow Emperor slowly sat up, her expression showing no change.

Shu Yan's eyes met hers again. Both felt a palpitation. The next moment, Shu Yan said word by word: "Your origin is damaged, and you have no strength to survive the seven-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation. Between life and death, you should make a choice. My words should be correct, right?"

Boom—

The aura on the Snow Emperor surged, and the surrounding palace was shaken, countless ice dregs fell. Shu Yan uncontrollably retreated more than ten steps before he could barely stabilize his figure. The next moment, the Snow Emperor's voice, as if containing ice dregs, sounded from above: "Human, tell this Emperor, how do you know these secrets? This Emperor can leave you a whole corpse."

Shu Yan heard this, but there was no panic on his face, just continued: "You can rest assured, the only people in the world who know about this are me and the Ice Emperor. No one else knows. As for how I know, I cannot say..."

The Snow Emperor just looked at Shu Yan coldly. After a long time, she said: "I don't believe your words." Shu Yan looked up at the Snow Emperor and said: "As the most devout believer of Lord Sea God, I swear to the great Lord Sea God that what I said is true. If there is any falsehood, I will be destroyed in body and soul."

Hearing this, the Snow Emperor's pupils shrank slightly, as if she remembered that scene ten thousand years ago. Regarding that matter, she still has a deep impression to this day. The heaven and earth changed color, and an aura that made all living beings unable to lift their heads permeated the entire continent. That was a true god-level aura, so powerful that it was simply unimaginable.

And the god who won in the later god war, if the Snow Emperor remembered correctly, was the Sea God...

Perhaps Shu Yan's oath was too decisive, and the Snow Emperor's expression eased slightly. A trace of an imperceptible arc appeared on the corner of Shu Yan's mouth.

Sea God... an existence described as a savior in the legends of the continent, but Shu Yan never thought so. Right and wrong, black and white, these are all dominated by the winner. No one will care about the right and wrong of the loser. From the moment of failure, their consequences are already doomed.

But what does this have to do with him?

For gods, he has no awe, let alone faith. Without faith, the essence of these oaths does not exist, so what is the use of them? It's just a trick to fool people.

The Snow Emperor looked at Shu Yan, the calmness in her eyes gone, replaced by a complex emotion.

"What exactly do you want to say, and what do you want, heh... until now, this Emperor has discovered that in such a long time, this Emperor has never seen through you humans, a race favored by heaven and earth..."

The expression on Shu Yan's face slowly became gentle. He looked at the Snow Emperor's face and said softly: "Whether it is humans or soul beasts, their lifespan is ultimately limited. In this era, even plant-type soul masters known for their longevity, even if they successfully cultivate to the Limit Douluo level, their lifespan can only reach about four hundred years at most. Although soul beasts are different, they are probably about the same."

"The shackles of bloodline make many soul beasts unable to even break through ten thousand years. Even if they luckily break through to the ten-thousand-year level, they may fall under the heavenly tribulation. The life of soul beasts seems very long in the eyes of humans, but in reality, in your eyes, a dream is thousands of years. Tens of thousands of years of time, it sounds distant, but looking back, it seems pitifully short."

"If you want to break the limit of life and strength, you can only break the limit and enter the god level. Only then will you have the qualification to change from a chess piece to a chess player..."

Shu Yan's voice became gentle like a spring breeze, whispering in the Snow Emperor's ear with a seductive meaning. The Snow Emperor listened blankly, but her thoughts drifted away involuntarily, and the whole person seemed to enter a state of deep thinking, temporarily losing perception of the outside world. Shu Yan stepped up the cold ice steps step by step, and finally came to the first step under the main throne.

Before the Snow Emperor could come back to her senses, Shu Yan's voice sounded again: "The hundred-level fantasy flows in the blood of every generation of powerhouses on the continent. Your life has at most a hundred years left. We have the same obsession with eternal life. In the last time, why not fight for yourself one last time? Join hands with me and use the path of god-making to fight for that illusory god level. If successful, eternal life will no longer be a fantasy. If it fails, at least we have left a brilliant trace in this world, and there will be a steady stream of descendants walking the path we once walked. We will live in the memory of descendants, no matter in what image..."

When the Snow Emperor's consciousness heard the word "god-making", it seemed to clear up instantly. She looked up, and the two gazes met in the air. For some reason, her heart trembled inexplicably. This word, like a curse, echoed in her ears...
