Chapter 133 Faith Convergence, Lord of the Far North's Snowstorm
In the far north, on the highest snow-capped mountain, Hyotei looked at the man and two women working together and felt inexplicably annoyed.
The discussion lasted for nearly a month, and participants included the two emperors of ice and snow, Chi Ping, and Qian Renxue.
All four of them gained a lot.
After the discussion, Chi Ping proposed a project, and after learning the details, Xue Di chose to join without hesitation.
This project requires a rune master, someone with sufficient knowledge of the gods, and an absolute controller and object of worship for the extreme northern ice and snow, corresponding to Chi Ping, Qian Renxue, and Xue Di respectively.
Hyotei could only watch from the sidelines because their rune level was insufficient.
This made her extremely unhappy.
It felt like someone else easily got the rare, limited-edition figurine you wanted; you felt envious, jealous, and a little sour.
It's all because I'm not good enough!
My teeth are practically grinding to powder!
"What's wrong?" Chi Ping glanced at it casually and asked curiously.
Meanwhile, the adjustment of the runes continued uninterrupted. His task in this project was the most demanding, and he couldn't afford any mistakes.
"Tsk!"
Hyotei clicked their tongue in dissatisfaction.
The three of them glanced at the pretty girl in green at the same time, then continued with their work.
The project proposed by Ikehira was very challenging, and they didn't have time to waste on taking care of Hyotei's feelings.
Hyotei knew they were in the way, so they jumped off their ice sculpture chairs and ran behind a pile of snow.
Chi Ping divided his thoughts into four threads. He checked Hyotei's physical condition through the magnetic field and, after confirming that the structure was still stable, devoted himself to debugging the runes in his hands.
A crazed Hyotei will destroy everything here.
Eliminating safety hazards is a quality that qualified researchers should possess.
……
A cultivation level of 100,000 years has special significance for soul beasts. Whenever a soul beast reaches a cultivation level of 100,000 years, it will have the opportunity to make a choice.
Abandon the beast form and transform into a human to start cultivation again (delete the account and start over), or persist in the beast form to overcome the heavenly tribulation and continue cultivation (complete the breakthrough quest).
Choosing the former means giving up a long life and great power, and enduring the hardships of growth once again, but with the possibility of becoming a god; choosing the latter means continuing to improve one's cultivation, but also needing to constantly face increasingly powerful tribulations in future cultivation, until one can no longer hold on and perishes completely.
That's right, the saying "Soul Beasts cannot become gods" is engraved in the bloodline inheritance of Soul Beasts, and even 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts know this knowledge.
However, there is also a legend that a million years of cultivation will be a turning point.
Once a soul beast reaches that level, it will ascend to godhood!
The Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor chose the second path. The Snow Emperor now has 67 years of cultivation, while the Ice Emperor has 38 years of cultivation.
Normally, unless they use illusion magic or their physical form is amorphous, soul beasts will not have a human form.
This is the conclusion Ikehira reached after analyzing Hyotei's body structure.
Bloodline restricts the transformation of the energy body; otherwise, Hyotei could control his body and change his appearance at will, just like Ikehira.
Hyotei envied, or rather longed for, to possess a figure like Yuki-tei. Therefore, during their discussion, she made a deal with Ikehei. She allowed Ikehei to study her body in exchange for helping her find a way to transform into human form without having to rebuild her body.
Ikehira readily agreed.
After thoroughly studying Hyotei's physical structure, a set of spatial and life-combining magic circles was created to complete this task, and it was named the Transformation Magic.
Based on the body's energy transformation, a life array is used to shape and maintain a new body structure, while a spatial array conceals the enormous original body, enabling transformation from large to small. This is how Hyotei came to have her current appearance, that of a young girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old.
……
"Bing'er, we've completed the most important framework construction, so you no longer need to protect us."
While Hyotei was sulking alone, Yukitai came over.
Upon seeing the person she had been longing for, Hyotei swiftly composed herself, her expression hardening as she asked seriously, "What do you need me to do next?"
The Snow Empress had no intention of comforting the Ice Empress. As a natural-born ice and snow goddess, she was inherently indifferent to emotions and was simply issuing orders in a businesslike manner.
"Go find Atai and Xiaobai, and split up to arrange for the various tribes to spread the name of the Lord of the Far North's Snowstorm. Let everyone and every soul beast know the name 'Lord of the Far North'. In the Far North, as long as you recite this name, you will receive the protection of the snowstorm." The Snow Emperor paused for a moment, then continued, "Do not kill. That human will not allow it."
"Can't we just advertise your name directly?"
Xue Di shook her head. "Faith is the power of God. If the name of the divine position is directly directed at me, these thoughts will be transferred to me after being transformed by the divine position. That is a power that I cannot bear unless I master the elements of God, such as divinity (spirit) and divine body (physical body).
Therefore, a transit point is necessary.
The "Lord of the Far North's Snow and Wind" can be anyone, as long as they control the snow and wind and are favored by the far north.
But I'm the one who best fits these requirements.
Moreover, this divine position belongs to the far north and is bound to heaven and earth, so it is very likely to receive the world's favor, which will accelerate the formation of the divine position and enhance its power.
"I'll go right away," Hyotei said earnestly.
Snow Empress nodded, gently stroking Ice Empress's smooth hair, and said tenderly, "Thank you for your hard work, Ice Empress."
……
"I think I heard the sound of a kettle boiling."
Chi Ping, who was adjusting one of the basic structures of the "Lord of the Far North Snowstorm" divine position system—the faith reception structure—under Qian Renxue's guidance, suddenly spoke.
Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "I only heard the sound of the wind. Faith is intangible; it needs a causal connection to carry it. How do you plan to solve this problem?"
Chi Ping: "It's someone's heartbeat. She has terrible control over her body."
So I chose this place, the highest mountain in the far north, the birthplace and exclusive residence of the Snow Empress, and the place where she once fought against the Ice Empress and the Titan Snow Demon King.
To defeat all enemies, to establish the name of the strongest and the ruler, and to match the status of the word 'Lord'.
The Holy Spirit of Wind and Snow, born from the far north, symbolizes the favor of heaven and earth and wind and snow, and its birthplace matches "far north" and "wind and snow".
With these three elements gathered, the concept of the divine position of "Lord of the Far North's Snowstorm" was born.
In other words, this mountain is the vessel of divinity. Perhaps I will even forge a divine artifact symbolizing royal power for it.
"It sounds somewhat feasible." Qian Renxue nodded. "But is it really a good idea for you to do this? To create the foundation for a soul beast to become a god."
Over thousands of years, soul masters and soul beasts have long been locked in an irreconcilable struggle.
"I'm just suggesting a possibility. This divine position doesn't specify that only soul beasts can inherit it. It's just that the Snow Empress is the one who best fits the inheritance conditions," Chi Ping said. "Besides, the so-called irreconcilable conflict isn't actually that absolute."
Soul Masters need Soul Rings and Soul Bones, and they also need a wider living space and land resources, so they hunt Soul Beasts.
Most spirit beasts attack humans to protect their habitat. A very small number hunt humans for food.
It's all for survival.
