Chapter 231: The Sixth Trial of the Ice God
"There is also an ability called Ice God's Descent, which doubles all attributes and also doubles the power of ice attribute attacks."
After understanding the abilities of the Ice God Ring, Ning Bei's previous dissatisfaction completely dissipated, replaced with a smug expression. After all, his Ice God position was better than Bibi Dong's, right?
Bibi Dong's situation was truly miserable—she had nothing but the Rakshasa Scythe, a tragic existence.
"What? This is too overpowered!"
"It's all luck, just luck."
While they were chatting, the information about the divine trial once again appeared in their minds.
"Sixth Trial of the Ice God, The People of the Ice God. Establish a power that believes in the Ice God on the continent. The time limit is one year. Rewards will be given based on the prosperity and renown of the power."
"Huh?"
"What's wrong, Ice God?"
Xue Di noticed that Ning Bei had fallen into thought again and, having some suspicion, waited for him to return to his senses, which he did, revealing the details of the sixth trial.
"The sixth trial has been released. It's about establishing a power that believes in the Ice God. The more prosperous and famous the power is, the better the rewards will be. The time limit is one year."
"Great! Our entire Extreme North already believes in the Ice God. We just need to form the power."
Xue Di's beautiful eyes sparkled with joy. To her, this trial didn't seem too difficult.
"Yes, you're right, but relying solely on the Extreme North won't be enough. The support of soul beasts alone won't make the Ice God Temple known across the continent."
"This..."
Xue Di thought for a moment and agreed, but she had no solution to the belief of the human soul masters.
"Don't worry, let's first establish the Ice God Temple in the Extreme North, near the valley where you once were, which isn't far from Bing'er's clan's territory."
"Okay."
"I will have the clan members spread the word about the Ice God among the soul beasts in the Extreme North."
With the current plan in place, Ning Bei directly flew toward the Ice Snow Valley.
Several hours later, in a forest not far from the valley, a crystal palace made of cold ice rose from the ground.
It was created by Ning Bei using his Everfrost Domain, with the structure being an exact replica of the Ice God Temple. In front of the palace was a vast central plaza.
Standing inside the translucent palace, Ning Bei looked around for a moment but felt that something was missing. He then began discussing it with the three giants of the Extreme North.
"Don't you think something is missing here?"
"It does seem a bit too empty."
The green-haired little loli glanced around the Ice God Temple and agreed with Ning Bei's observation, though she couldn't pinpoint what exactly was lacking.
In the end, it was the most reserved Tian Meng who spoke up.
"Little Ice God, don't you think there should be a statue of the Ice God here?"
As soon as Tian Meng spoke, Ning Bei and the Ice Snow Emperors' eyes lit up. Indeed, it was like what he said—just think about the Angel God Temple in Qian Renxue's family. Doesn't it have a statue of the Angel God in the center?
Thinking quickly, Ning Bei moved to the very center of the hall, slightly raised his right hand.
A statue, ten times the size of Ning Bei, rose from the ground. The ice sculpture resembled him perfectly, with his left hand behind and his right hand in front, showcasing his little mustache and conveying a sense of calm reassurance, as if saying, "You've worked hard, comrades."
In short, it exuded a solemn yet peaceful aura.
"Ice God, does this pose have a deeper meaning?"
"Yes, it represents the Ice God's invincibility, sweeping away greed and evil from the world."
"I see!"
After admiring his masterpiece for a moment, Ning Bei descended the steps and moved to the statue's right side. He slightly raised his hand again, and a statue of Bing Tian Xue Nu, slightly smaller than Ning Bei's, rose from the ground.
"This is the protector of the Ice God, Bing Tian Xue Nu, representing the Ice God's majesty and purity."
Ning Bei then moved several meters to the left and raised his hand again. A statue of the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion appeared, its silver pincers and iron claws showing off its majestic and fierce aura.
"This is the protector of the Ice God, the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion, representing the Ice God's bravery and fighting prowess."
The Ice Snow Emperors looked at the statues representing themselves within the temple, clearly pleased and proud. Under Tian Meng's eager gaze, Ning Bei slowly spoke.
"Alright, it's done. Finished."
"I'm done too!"
Tian Meng immediately protested, "What? Are you treating me differently? Do you look down on me, the fat worm?"
"What about me? What about me, Ice God!"
Ning Bei smiled softly. He had only been teasing this gluttonous worm. Seeing Tian Meng so agitated, he decided to appease him and walked over to the Ice Tian Xue Nu statue's right side.
"Wait, Ice God, I want to stay beside Bing'er."
Hearing this, Ning Bei rolled his eyes. So troublesome.
However, he didn't reject his request. Under Bing Di's disdainful gaze, he moved to the left side of the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion statue and slightly raised his right hand again.
A statue of a fat worm slowly rose.
"This is the protector of the Ice God, Tian Meng the Ice Silkworm, representing the Ice God's luck."
"What the hell? Why am I associated with luck? You bastard! If it weren't for me, would you even meet Bing'er and Xue Di?"
Ning Bei's preferential treatment had completely broken Tian Meng's composure. Shouting loudly under the murderous gaze of Xue Di, he began to scold.
"Alright, alright, it was just a sentence. Don't make a big deal out of it."
"Why not? Bing'er and Xue Di's statues represent majesty and purity, bravery and combat, but for me, it's all about luck. Isn't that bullying the honest worm?"
"Fine, fine, fine. It represents the Ice God's luck and wisdom, okay?"
At this, Tian Meng finally nodded in satisfaction, looking at Ning Bei with a "you're smart" expression.
"Hmph, that's more like it."
After finishing the interior of the temple, Ning Bei walked outside and wondered whether he should create some sort of divine light or something like the Sea God's divine light, where soul beasts could cross over and receive rewards at the end?
Thinking about it, he raised his hand. The Ice God Temple, originally at the same level as the plaza, immediately shot up by several hundred meters, with a cold ice staircase with nearly a hundred steps linking the temple to the plaza.
At the top of the stairs, Ning Bei created an ice stele and infused it with a massive amount of soul power. Then, he activated the Everfrost Domain and engraved the domain onto the stele. This was just a small use of the domain.
From now on, each level of the stairs would be slightly colder than the previous one. Upon reaching the 99th level, the temperature would approach absolute zero. After successfully reaching the top, the soul beasts would have the opportunity to comprehend a small cold ice domain.
It was essentially an impoverished version of the Everfrost Domain, and it was a small reward for the soul beasts who believed in the Ice God.
After doing all of this, Ning Bei released Xiao Xue Nu from the Pill Tower. With her 200,000 years of cultivation, she now had the appearance and figure of a middle school student.
Perhaps because Ice Tian Xue Nu was naturally aloof, she wasn't as clingy as she was in her earlier stages, but she still showed unwavering respect.
"Brother."
"Xiao Xuehua, from now on, stay in the Extreme North and help guard the Ice God Temple."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuehua's eyes flashed with a hint of reluctance but she quickly concealed it, nodding in agreement.
Leaving the Ice God Temple with Xiao Xuehua to guard it, Ning Bei wasn't worried about it being destroyed. After all, a 200,000-year-old Ice Tian Xue Nu wasn't someone to be trifled with.
