This Snow Empress is indeed very intelligent; her wisdom probably surpasses that of 99% of the people and soul beasts on the Douluo Continent.
Pei Qing looked at the Snow Empress, who sat there with outstanding temperament and remained calm and composed, and couldn't help but admire her.
"Senior Snow Empress, are you so certain that I am the one to be helped to godhood by the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Pei Qing noticed the Snow Empress's expression turn serious. As the future Lord of the Great Sun, he was not afraid of any force's obstruction.
Born human, he was naturally destined to achieve godhood.
No matter what anyone tried to take from him, they would ultimately fail.
Therefore, even though the Snow Empress saw through him, Pei Qing showed no panic or confusion. Instead, he looked at the Snow Empress thoughtfully, curious about her resolve.
In the era before his appearance, the Snow Empress's fate was to become one of Huo Yuhao's soul spirits ten thousand years later, ultimately still seemingly controlled by Huo Yuhao, not completely free from his control.
"Whether you are the chosen one of the Northern Star Dou Great Forest or not, I, the Emperor, find you pleasing and am willing to assist you in ascending to godhood!"
The Snow Emperor was not foolish; as the ruler of the far north, she saw things clearly.
Pei Qing's talent, even without the support of the far north, meant he possessed the ability to pursue godhood on his own.
At sixteen or seventeen, he already possessed the cultivation of a Soul Emperor, and his physical body had reached such a terrifying level.
In her eyes, Pei Qing had a bright future.
"Bi Ji..."
Pei Qing heard the Snow Emperor's words and then turned to Bi Ji, who was deep in thought.
Bi Ji was also somewhat troubled at this moment, but she quickly understood, and her expression became serious.
"Snow Emperor, you guessed correctly, Pei Qing does indeed possess the ability to become a god!"
"But he doesn't need our support, because he is destined to become a god from birth."
"If your far north wants to catch this train, you need to show sincerity, because in this matter, one more or one less makes no difference."
Bi Ji couldn't just agree to the Snow Emperor's cooperation casually; she had to get corresponding benefits from her.
Even their Star Dou Great Forest had spent a great deal of resources to establish friendship with Pei Qing.
Not only did they offer the extremely precious Life Gold, but they also promised the right to choose three 100,000-year-old soul beasts!
It was absolutely impossible for the Snow Empress to get on this bandwagon of guaranteed riches without paying anything in return.
"Whatever you want, if I have it, I can give it to you,"
the Snow Empress said calmly, glancing at Bi Ji without any change in expression.
Bi Ji looked at Pei Qing, awaiting his choice.
"Senior Snow Empress, I've heard that there's a 100,000-year-old Heavenly Snow Lotus in the far north..."
Pei Qing didn't elaborate, but he believed the Snow Empress would understand his meaning.
"What? You want that Heavenly Snow Lotus!"
"You're too greedy! Xue'er needs that for her tribulation; you can't give it to her."
Upon hearing what Pei Qing wanted, the Ice Empress's eyes widened, and she looked at the Snow Empress with great concern.
"Bing'er, don't be rude!"
"I've already said that I don't have the ability to survive the seventh great tribulation. Even if I leave behind this Heavenly Snow Lotus, I will ultimately have no choice but to transform into human form."
"Countless soul beasts have transformed into human form to pursue the position of gods, but not a single one of them has the ability to truly succeed. Of course, I am no exception."
The Snow Empress saw things very clearly. In the Douluo Continent, it was simply impossible for soul beasts to become gods.
Therefore, only by relying on humans could she have the possibility of transcendence.
"Xue'er, is it the Heavenly Snow Lotus of Tianshan..."
The Ice Emperor wanted to say something more, but the Snow Emperor had already taken out a snow-white lotus flower.
This lotus was as big as a person, with twelve petals, emitting a faint fragrance.
Just smelling it made one feel refreshed all over, and one's soul power seemed to flow faster.
"This is the Heavenly Snow Lotus of Tianshan that you mentioned. This treasure is extremely precious, and it is one of the top treasures in the Douluo Continent."
Looking at the Heavenly Snow Lotus handed over by the Snow Emperor, Pei Qing did not stand on ceremony and directly reached out to take it.
He did not feel any coldness when he touched it, but instead had a warm and smooth feeling like jade.
"Thank you, Senior. However, instead of helping me become a god, I have a way to help you advance even further."
"As you may already know, I possess a top-tier fire-attribute martial soul, and I have a friend with extraordinary talent. I am absolutely certain she will inherit the position of Sea God."
Pei Qing put away the Heavenly Snow Lotus, his eyes flashing slightly as he revealed this information to the Snow Empress.
"Sea God? The Sea God Poseidon who conquered the world single-handedly ten thousand years ago?"
Sea God Island might be unfamiliar to most, but the Snow Empress certainly knew it.
Hearing Pei Qing's words, the Snow Empress's eyes lit up.
Compared to Pei Qing's fire attribute, the Sea God's attribute was more suitable for following and supporting the Far North.
"Are you sure?"
Even the Snow Empress was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected Pei Qing's friend to have a successor to the Sea God.
"Of course, let me make a pact with you, senior."
"In five years at most, I will bring the successor of the Sea God before you. At that time, you will choose to follow the successor of the Sea God or follow me. It's all up to you!"
Pei Qing laughed heartily. With the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, it could be said that the position of Sea God was a sure thing.
In the original story, Tang San could succeed with the Blue Silver Emperor, so Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul would naturally not fail.
As for the others, Pei Qing would naturally not treat them unfairly. When he becomes a god in the future, he will find a few gods who want to leave the God Realm to owe him favors. I think not many gods will refuse to give him face. After all,
the Lord of the Great Sun still has a lot of face in the universe.
"Alright, then let's make a pact!"
"No matter what, the Far North has chosen you. If you need anything in the future, just come to me!"
As she spoke, the Snow Empress condensed an ice sword the size of a palm.
"This item stores the power of my full-force attack; I'm giving it to you now for protection."
"If you encounter danger, simply crush this ice sword. Once crushed, I will sense it and rush to your aid as quickly as possible."
"I possess three ultimate techniques: Emperor's Frost Heaven - Snow Dance Radiating the Sun, Emperor's Palm - Great Cold Without Snow, and Emperor's Sword - Unparalleled Ice!"
"And within this ice sword lies Emperor's Sword - Unparalleled Ice, my most powerful move!"
"A single strike from it would severely injure even a level 99 Title Douluo among you humans if they were careless!"
