Chapter 9: The Drawbacks of Extreme Attributes, Snow Emperor's Change of View

Life in the core area of the Extreme North Land is a bit boring and dull.

Although Shu Yan felt that his PUA-like speech moved the obsession for godhood and eternal life in the Snow Emperor's heart, the Snow Emperor is the Snow Emperor after all. In her hundreds of thousands of years of life in the Extreme North Land, she has witnessed too much. A short moment of distraction and touch is not enough to completely move her. Shu Yan had expected this long ago. His initial plan was just to leave a seed in the Snow Emperor's heart. He never thought that the Snow Emperor would foolishly believe him directly.

Although Shu Yan's last action that day was a bit offensive, the Snow Emperor didn't seem to care. She fully proved that what she said was not drawing a big cake. As long as Shu Yan stayed with peace of mind, she would give as many precious cultivation resources from the outside world as Shu Yan wanted, and even included three precious thousand-year cold ice marrow.

Shu Yan accepted everything. After absorbing the fourth soul ring, his cultivation soared directly to level 43. In just three days, with the help of a large amount of resources, he had stabilized his cultivation and started to advance toward level 44.

The Snow Emperor would come to see him from time to time. The two sat on opposite sides of the ice table. Rarely would anyone take the initiative to speak, but once someone spoke, they could chat a few words. After a long time, the two could be considered to have a better understanding of each other.

Shu Yan's cultivation level has not reached the level of fasting, but this place is located in the core area of the core area of the Extreme North Land. Fresh fruits and vegetables are out of the question. Every day, at most, he has to make do with a few snow rabbit-type small soul beasts brought back by the Snow Emperor from the outside world to satisfy his hunger.

As for why he doesn't hunt them himself, the reason is very simple. One can hardly see such weak soul beasts in the core area. His range of activities is limited to this palace. Once he steps out of the range of the palace, his human aura will leak out, and then trouble will definitely be inevitable.

Unexpectedly, the Snow Emperor, who is as cold as a female emperor, is extremely interested in the food simply roasted by Shu Yan. At first, the Snow Emperor came by smelling the scent. Later, as they spent a little more time together, when the time came, the Snow Emperor would take the initiative to wait in a fixed position. Her expression also evolved from the initial restraint and coldness to the current habit, and even occasionally when she heard Shu Yan talk about interesting things in the outside world, she would show a faint smile.

Although the smile was fleeting, Shu Yan could always accurately discover it. The Snow Emperor's change was visible to the naked eye. This is exactly the situation Shu Yan wants to see. As long as he pulls the Snow Emperor into the group, many things will become simple in an instant.

Shu Yan sometimes regrets why his patience was so poor in his previous life, which caused him to travel through time but only have some rough understanding of the plot, and even couldn't sort out the general plot.

But this is no longer important. His transmigration is destined to have broken the original plot development. The Snow Emperor is the best example. In this increasingly chaotic situation, only one's own strength is the hard truth.

Shu Yan doesn't consider himself a good person, and can even become a pure bad person to achieve his goals. Whether it is good or evil, everything is just in a single thought. Rules and constraints exist for people like him, but the reason for their existence is only shaped by his own heart. The rules and constraints in the eyes of the world are particularly ridiculous in his eyes.

……

Unknowingly, three months passed in a flash. Shu Yan had also been quietly cultivating in the core area for three months. His soul power had also broken through to level 44. Influenced by the environment, his cultivation speed was much faster than before. Of course, the reason for the accelerated cultivation speed must also include the Snow Emperor's feeding.

The cultivation speed of extreme attribute martial souls between level 30 and level 70 is more than a step slower than that of ordinary attribute soul masters. Every time one level is raised, the subsequent breakthrough will be more difficult. This is why extreme attribute soul masters, despite their excellent talent, lag behind others in cultivation speed in the early stage.

But everything in this world pays attention to a balance.

The cultivation speed of ordinary attribute soul masters before level 70 is indeed far faster than that of extreme attribute soul masters, but if a soul master's cultivation exceeds level 70, this situation will be completely overturned, evolving into extreme attribute soul masters cultivating more easily, advancing more easily, and even having a higher limit than other ordinary attribute soul masters. The Ice Sky Snow Maiden is born to control Extreme Ice, and is a true spirit of heaven and earth born of ice and snow. But if one really insists on the attribute problem of the Ice Sky Snow Maiden, in fact, the Extreme Ice Snow attribute that the Ice Sky Snow Maiden truly possesses should be Extreme Ice Snow, not just Extreme Ice.

There is no doubt that Extreme Ice Snow is stronger than Extreme Ice, which means that people with the Ice Sky Snow Maiden martial soul will be more difficult in cultivation than those with general extreme attributes. Shu Yan completely agrees with this point.

The daily interaction with the Snow Emperor is still in the process of getting familiar and slowly warming up. Shu Yan has plenty of patience in this regard. Without ability, winning hearts is always the best strategy. But at the same time, he can't help but feel touched in the depths of his heart.

The birth and budding of feelings have prerequisites. Whether it is the affinity and palpitation between his own bloodlines or the bits and pieces of getting along in the three months, Shu Yan has clearly sensed the difference in the Snow Emperor.

She is adapting to this change bit by bit, and her mentality is also slowly turning and sinking. People who have experienced warmth and happiness, how can they be willing to throw themselves into coldness and loneliness again? Subtle changes are the most terrifying, because this is a reflection of a person's inner longing for reality. The Snow Emperor's change is like this, and it is not in vain for Shu Yan to pay so much.

In the fifth month of the Extreme North Land, Shu Yan still knows nothing about everything in the outside world. His world is buried by the wind and snow across the sky, isolated from the world, but it also has a unique flavor.

The Snow Emperor once again started a discussion with Shu Yan about godhood. Unlike the last time, the two exchanged many different opinions. Shu Yan almost poured out all his thoughts. The touch in the Snow Emperor's eyes was not fake. She was obviously extremely moved.

At the same time, the Snow Emperor also told Shu Yan her thoughts.

She already had a premonition that she would definitely not be able to survive the seven-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation, but the longing for life made her think of another path, which was to transform into a human, and then climb to the peak again in human form, to fight for that illusory eternal life.

But that's what she said... the actual bitterness and hardship are probably only known to the Snow Emperor herself.

Soul beasts cannot become gods. This is an iron law. Even if they transform into humans, to some extent, they are still soul beasts. Wanting to become a god is nothing more than a spring and autumn dream. On the contrary, Shu Yan's "god-making" path has a greater hope of success.

Perhaps it is because she understands her situation too deeply, the Snow Emperor finally reached an alliance with Shu Yan after careful consideration.

Rather than sitting and waiting for death, it is better to fight one last time before death comes. This is the Snow Emperor's idea, and it also fits her personality. After establishing a great ice and snow oath with Shu Yan, the two were truly tied to the same canoe at this moment. From then on, they would lose together and prosper together, until the lives of the two completely perished...
