Chapter 18: Ice Emperor
Chapter 18: Ice Emperor
"No problem, I can make this promise. Moreover, in the not too distant future, the history of humans hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings will also come to an end. A new contract system will replace the past killings, and all races will share a harmonious and prosperous era together!"
Zhongli looked at the two Ice and Snow Emperors and said firmly, his amber eyes flashing with a brilliance that made it difficult to look away. His words were not only addressed to the two Ice and Snow Emperors, but also to himself and to this world!
A stone tablet with ancient patterns suddenly appeared in front of Zhongli; Zhongli held the Piercing Rainbow Spear in his hand and engraved light golden runes on the stone tablet.
"I, Morax, hereby conclude an alliance contract with the soul beasts of the Far North. From now on, my Tiandou Empire and the soul beasts of the Far North will live in harmony and no longer harm each other. The Far North will also help my Tiandou Empire, swear an oath of blood alliance, and generously contribute to the safety of the empire, the empire's territory, and the empire's glory. If the Far North encounters danger, the empire is also responsible for defending the land."
After listening to the entire content of the contract, Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor both nodded. Then, under Zhongli's instructions, they each pressed a golden fingerprint on the stone tablet.
"The contract is established!"
Three golden lights descended from the sky, extremely sacred; in the void, the figure of a majestic deity emerged. The deity wore a white hood and his face could not be seen clearly. He sat on a throne made of rock in an extremely defiant manner, as if he did not even care about the laws of nature.
For a moment, even the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor felt an extremely strong sense of awe in their hearts. Under the gaze of the god, they felt that they were so insignificant, and the contract they had signed was as heavy as all the rocks in the world.
Suddenly, they seemed to hear a voice, and their hearts trembled slightly.
"Those who break their promises will be punished by being eaten by rocks. The mountain that the Emperor cuts down will fall on the head of every person who breaks his promise."
At this moment, they attached more importance to this contract than ever before. The only remaining trace of other thoughts was completely gone.
The moment they saw the phantom of the god, Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor were shocked, while Dugu Bo and the two priests were filled with fear.
The Fifth Prince could actually contact such an existence? Could it be that there has always been such a god standing behind him? No wonder. No wonder the Fifth Prince knows so many things, no wonder the Fifth Prince has such a monstrous talent, no wonder.
They didn't dare to think about anything deeper. Anyway, it wouldn't do any harm to them.
After the covenant was signed, Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor also took the elixir. As expected, as Zhongli said, both of them felt the changes in themselves; Ice Emperor felt that there seemed to be a magical power in her body, and the sense of urgency that was about to come and suppress her mind suddenly disappeared. Her spiritual sense told her that the next catastrophe was no longer a threat to her.
Snow Empress' body radiated a snow-white light, forming a cocoon. When the light merged into Snow Empress' body, in Ice Empress's perception, Snow Empress's power did not change at all, and her appearance did not change at all. However, the aura of the soul beast completely disappeared; in her perception, the one standing in front of her was a human Extreme Douluo.
“I actually became a human.”
Xue Di looked at her palm and said with some mixed feelings. Circles of soul rings actually rose from her feet, just like the Titled Douluo among humans. She had also heard that soul rings would also appear on soul beasts that had been rebuilt, just like humans, but this kind of soul ring did not need to be obtained by hunting soul beasts, but was automatically generated after reaching a bottleneck.
"Take these three soul bones and absorb them. I don't need them."
Xue Di then looked at the soul bones that exploded after the death of the three beast kings, shook her head and said.
Now that she has become a human, theoretically, she can also absorb these soul bones. However, at her level close to God, even soul bones that are more than 100,000 years old are not very helpful. The most important thing is that even though she has become a human, she still has a resistance to absorbing soul bones.
Zhongli and Ying both sat cross-legged and began to absorb the spoils of war. Zhongli fused the dark golden torso bone that exploded from the demon snow tiger king, while Ying first fused the spirit ring instead of the spirit bone.
It was Ying who dealt the final blow to the Ice Scale Eel Snake King. After the Ice Scale Eel Snake King died, a blood-red soul ring with two golden lines burst out. Although they had just wasted some time, a soul ring of this level would not dissipate even if it was left in the air for ten days or half a month, and could be preserved for a long time.
After fusing the Demon Snow Tiger King's soul ring, the boy radiated a dark golden light, looking like a young god; a hint of determination seemed to flash across the orange-gold eyes of the Ice Emperor. "Human, you said that you can use that kind of contract to establish a special contract channel while keeping the soul of the soul beast intact, so that you can obtain soul rings and break through the level?"
Bingdi looked at Zhongli and asked.
"Yes. I do have this ability. I obtained my previous four spirit rings in this way."
Zhongli nodded and answered slowly.
"Then can I get your feedback by following your existence? Or, in other words, if you become a god one day."
"Yes. If I become a god, the soul beasts that have signed a contract with me will also be sublimated and transformed into gods in your world!"
Zhongli nodded and answered very affirmatively.
"Well, let's make a contract. I will be your helper, and when you make a breakthrough in the future, you will take me to become a god!"
Bingdi looked at Zhongli deeply and said.
Xue Di watched this scene without saying anything. Bing Di's idea did not surprise her too much, she just sighed softly.
That’s right, after taking the Tribulation-Resisting Pill, Ice Emperor could theoretically live another 100,000 years; during these long years, he would not have to worry about life or death.
However, how could Bingdi tolerate that he would leave this world after becoming a god, while she would be left alone in the Far North? Instead of doing this, it would be better for her to also try her best to reach the god level!
Zhongli can help her become a god. Even in the eyes of Xue Di, it is highly likely that a being like Zhongli will break the so-called "100-level ban". It is better to say that if Zhongli cannot become a god, then no one in this world can become a god.
Moreover, even if Zhongli did not succeed in the end and passed away in the years, with Ice Emperor's cultivation level, as long as she still retained her own origin, she would not perish with Zhongli and would still have the opportunity to reshape her true body.
Dugu Bo and the other two were all a little confused. One after another, they went to the Far North to get beast spirit rings and beast spirit bones; now, Zhongli even got the attachment of a super being, the fifth spirit ring, which was more than 300,000 years old!
No, it’s not just as simple as 300,000 years; after the three golden lines, there are already traces of a fourth golden line.
Finally, Zhongli fused the torso bone of the Snow Tiger King, while Ying fused the right leg bone of the Ice Scale Eel Snake King that corresponded to the spirit ring. As for the head spirit bone that Zhuqing Ice Toad King exploded, it was not suitable for the two to absorb because of the special situation; after thinking about it, Zhongli put this spirit bone away and would use it later.
"It's almost time to go back to Tiandou City. I wonder if the protagonists of the original novel have gone to the Blue Tyrant Academy."
Zhongli looked in the direction of Tiandou City and muttered.
