White World, Sun Moon Empire, Bright Capital.
The commoners saw this scene and immediately erupted into an uproar.
"Electrolux has come out!"
"The Ice Empress was so arrogant just now, she must be dumbfounded now!"
"Hahahaha, she called Venerable Ming a piece of trash, now she has kicked an iron plate!"
"With that aura from Electrolux, the Ice Empress doesn't even dare to move!"
...
[The Ice Empress froze in place, her pupils slightly constricted. From that phantom, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression—it was not a suppression of strength, but a crushing of levels. It was as if an ant were facing a giant dragon, unable to even conceive the thought of resisting.]
[The Ice Empress knew that although the person before her was a soul entity, his level of cultivation during his lifetime was extremely high.]
["You... who are you?" The voice of the Ice Empress trembled slightly.]
[Electrolux smiled slightly: "Who this old man is does not matter. What matters is that this old man can give you a chance."]
["What kind of chance?"]
["Sacrifice yourself to this disciple of mine, and then, on some day in the future, be resurrected." Electrolux said calmly, "Your time limit is almost up, right? You cannot pass the four-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation. But if you sacrifice yourself to him, your origin will be preserved. When he becomes a god one day, he can use divine force to resurrect you."]
[The Ice Empress was silent; if she hadn't been locked on by Electrolux's soul power, she would have wanted to run away long ago.]
[Electrolux continued: "This old man knows you do not trust him. But do you trust this old man?"]
[The Ice Empress stared at him for a long time before finally speaking: "What do you have to guarantee it?"]
[Electrolux smiled, that smile carrying endless confidence:]
["Just by the fact that this old man once held the sun and moon in his hands and plucked the stars."]
["Just by the fact that in this life, this old man has never broken his word."]
[The Ice Empress was silent for a long time.]
[Finally, she lowered her head and said softly: "I... am willing."]
...
Black World, Douluo Continent.
Inside the tavern, there was silence.
Then—
"Holy crap! Electrolux appears, and the Ice Empress kneels immediately?!"
"This is the gap! In the Black World, Huo Yuhao is called trash by the Ice Empress and can only endure it. In the White World, Huo Yuhao has a teacher backing him, and the Ice Empress doesn't even dare to say much!"
"What kind of existence is that Electrolux? A fierce beast like the Ice Empress is like a child in front of him."
"Holding the sun and moon in his hands and plucking the stars... think about it, savor it."
Someone muttered: "The Huo Yuhao of the two Worlds are truly drifting further and further apart."
...
Shrek City, Inner Court.
Xuan Zi gazed at the gray-white phantom on the Sky Screen, speechless for a long time.
Yan Shaozhe said softly: "What level... is that existence exactly?"
Xuan Zi was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "At least god-level. Perhaps even higher."
"Higher?"
"What he said about 'holding the sun and moon in his hands and plucking the stars' is not a metaphor. He can truly do it."
Everyone gasped.
...
[The Ice Empress did not hesitate any longer. She walked to Huo Yuhao, raised her tail hook, and pierced it into his chest.]
[Extreme cold surged into his body, and Huo Yuhao's body began to freeze. But he did not become muddled like the Huo Yuhao of the Black World; instead, he gritted his teeth and endured, remaining conscious.]
[Because he knew this was the final test from the Ice Empress. If he couldn't even withstand the pain of the sacrifice, the Ice Empress would not truly acknowledge him even if she sacrificed herself.]
[The Ice Empress looked at this youth who was enduring the pain without a sound, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.]
[Then, there was satisfaction.]
["This kid... actually has some backbone."]
[The sacrifice was complete. The ice layer on Huo Yuhao's body shattered, revealing his skin covered in ice-blue patterns. His spirit power surged wildly—from level 21, it shot straight to level 24!]
[Second Spirit, Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, awakened.]
[The first spirit ring of his second Spirit, that red million-year spirit ring engraved with four golden patterns, floated quietly behind him.]
[Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, looked at the phantom of the Ice Empress, and said softly: "Thank you."]
[The Ice Empress snorted coldly: "Don't thank me too early. If you cannot become a god, I will be the first to tear you apart."]
[Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "I will."]
...
White World, Reincarnation God Realm.
Gu Yuena gazed at the Sky Screen, a smile on her lips.
"It's done."
Wang Qiuer asked curiously: "It seems the Ice Empress finally acknowledged him?"
"Mm." Gu Yuena nodded, "She saw his backbone. Plus, with Electrolux's presence, she knows this youth is worth entrusting."
Snow Empress gazed at the youth standing on the ice field on the Sky Screen, her eyes full of tenderness.
"He succeeded."
"I also haven't seen the Ice Empress for a long time; I wonder how she is doing now!"
...
On the Sky Screen, the scene continued to change.
[Because Huo Yuhao obtained his second Spirit, and he was at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he still needed to hide a thing or two, so he still chose Simulation as his second Spirit Ability for his Spirit Eye.]
[After doing all this, he returned to the outskirts of the Far North Land, boarded the carriage he was waiting for, and headed south.]
[However, while passing through Dragon City on the way, he went in to take a look and wandered around, especially the area where the Earth Dragon Gate was located; he examined it carefully before heading home.]
[Regarding Huo Yuhao's unusual behavior, Heavenly Dream Ice Worm asked in confusion: "Yuhao, why did you come here specifically?"]
[For Heavenly Dream Ice Worm, Huo Yuhao felt no need to hide anything, and replied directly: "There is a great opportunity here; when my strength is stronger in the future, I will come to take it!"]
["A great opportunity?" Heavenly Dream Ice Worm was a bit confused, but he knew Huo Yuhao had the ability to foresee the future, so he didn't ask further.]
[Subsequently, before the four-month vacation ended, Huo Yuhao finally returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Due to the preparations he had made in advance, he was not held accountable by the Academic Affairs Office.]
...
In the Black World, countless commoners saw the unusual behavior of the White World's Huo Yuhao and immediately began to discuss it:
"The spirit rings of the Huo Yuhaos from the two Worlds are still the same now, but why did that Huo Yuhao from the White World specifically go to take a look at Dragon City?"
"Isn't Dragon City already occupied by the Sun Moon Empire now? Could there be something good there?"
"Even if there were good things before, I'm afraid they are gone now. After all, Dragon City was once the base of the Heaven Dragon Gate and the Earth Dragon Gate, and it was later looted by the Sun Moon Empire army. If there were any good things, they would have been looted long ago!"
"That's right, how could they leave any good things for us? Don't overthink it!"
...
Shrek Academy, Sea Gods Pavilion.
Regarding the actions of the White World's Huo Yuhao, Xuan Zi and the others looked at each other, not knowing what tricks that Huo Yuhao was up to.
"Elder Xuan, should we go ask Yuhao about this? He has a good relationship with the Earth Dragon Gate; perhaps he knows something!" Yan Shaozhe suggested.
Xuan Zi heard this and nodded, "That's right, we must ask Yuhao about this. If there really is a secret there, we absolutely cannot let the Sun Moon Empire army obtain it; that would be too disadvantageous for us!"
Once this decision was made, Yan Shaozhe personally headed to the Tang Sect to ask Huo Yuhao.
