[However... this Ice God Position seems more like a reward specifically set for someone else.]
[Ice God Position (Dragon God Restriction-Breaking Version). This means that as long as one accepts the Legacy of this Ice God Position, even a Spirit Beast can become a god.]
[Looking at it this way, the Snow Empress and Ice Empress become strong competitors and candidates for this God Position, and... it feels like the Snow Empress would be a more suitable candidate than Meng Hongchen.]
[After all, the Snow Empress's strength has already reached six hundred and ninety thousand years. After accepting the God Trials, she probably wouldn't take long to successfully ascend to godhood. Even if the difficulty increases because her strength is too high, it shouldn't be a major problem.]
[The only regret is that during this period, the Ice Empress is likely about to become Huo Yuhao's spirit ring, while the Snow Empress is also about to choose to transform, only to be captured in the end...]
Seeing the next part of the diary's content, Meng Hongchen, who had just finished her fantasies, suddenly froze.
Didn't it say the only competitors were her and that Ling Luochen from Shrek Academy's Inner Court?
How did two more Spirit Beasts join the competition in the short time she spent fantasizing?
And they were the two Vicious Beasts ranked eighth and third on the fierce beast ranking!
Meng Hongchen looked at the mirror on her bedside table in a daze, subconsciously pointing at herself.
Me? Competing with the Snow Empress for the Ice God Position?
Are you for real!?
As someone with an ice-attribute Spirit, Meng Hongchen knew that a place like the Jingyang Mountain Range couldn't satisfy her need for suitable spirit rings; only the Extreme North Land had spirit rings fit for her.
Therefore, Meng Hongchen had not only been to the Extreme North Land but also understood it very well.
She was naturally no stranger to the two super Spirit Beasts of the Extreme North Land, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.
Compared to the Snow Empress... she really didn't seem to have any competitiveness.
No! That's not right!
She still had competitiveness!
No matter what, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were currently far away in the Extreme North Land and had no intersection with Ao Yao. So... Ao Yao might not necessarily give the Ice God Legacy to the Snow Empress or the Ice Empress. Her chances were still very high!
After realizing this, Meng Hongchen immediately calmed down.
Although the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were stronger, she, being closer to Ao Yao, had the greater advantage!
As long as... as long as she acted according to the plan in her head, she believed Ao Yao would definitely hand over the Legacy of the God Position to her!
...

Outside Shrek City, the Ice Empress turned to look at the Snow Empress beside her. Her expression was somewhat dazed, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"Xue... Xue'er, did you see that?"
What had she seen in the diary book?
The Ice God Position in Ao Yao's hands actually broke the Dragon God's restriction, shattering the iron law that Spirit Beasts cannot become gods!?
Moreover, an even more important point was... Xue'er was actually within Ao Yao's consideration!
Although her own name wasn't mentioned much, if Xue'er could accept the Ice God Legacy, she would definitely be more delighted than if she had accepted it herself.
This was a God Position!
An Ice God Position that could allow Xue'er to shed her status as a Spirit Beast, truly transforming and transcending everything!
When that time came, Xue'er would have infinite lifespan and would no longer have to worry about the threat of the Heavenly Tribulation!
As for her...
The Ice Empress remembered Ao Yao once saying in the diary that the Ice God was a First-rank God, and a First-rank God has the qualification to bring people into the God Realm. In other words, as long as the Snow Empress could become a god, she could follow the Snow Empress and achieve Ascension to the God Realm!
Wasn't this much better than the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's foolish plan?
"I saw it too."
At this moment, the Snow Empress similarly could not hide the excitement in her heart.
Their purpose for this trip was to solve the threat of her seven hundred thousand-year tribulation, yet they never expected to suddenly see such a huge surprise just as they arrived outside Shrek City!
A boundless fortune!
Whether it was her or Bing'er, as long as one of them could obtain the Ice God Position, they could both ascend to the God Realm together!
Moreover, shifting from a Spirit Beast that worshipped the Ice God to an inheritor of the Ice God Position... such a change in status was even more worth celebrating, wasn't it?
At least before this, the Snow Empress had never thought that she would one day have the hope of touching the Ice God Position.
But another problem arose—how were they going to get Ao Yao to agree to give the Ice God Legacy to them?
The Ice Empress clearly realized this problem too, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
To Ao Yao, they were Spirit Beasts and had no relationship with him. Why would he give the Ice God Legacy to them?
Furthermore, there was another difficult problem before them.
In Ao Yao's heart, they were both about to become Huo Yuhao's "cheats." But now, Huo Yuhao's second spirit had become a weak Frost Velvet Ice Mite, and they had left the Extreme North Land thousands of miles away to appear at Shrek Academy.
As soon as they exposed their identities, Ao Yao would immediately realize that they could see the contents of the diary.
Being discovered by Ao Yao that they could see the diary's content would lead to punishment.
And... none of them knew exactly what that punishment would be.
The Ice Empress grit her teeth and spoke with a determined face, "Xue'er, if it really comes down to it, I will take the initiative to expose myself, find Ao Yao, confess that I can see the diary, and beg him to give the Ice God Legacy to you. I will bear the punishment myself; you just need to focus on becoming a god."
"As long as the punishment isn't fatal, and as long as Xue'er can become a god, I can follow Xue'er and ascend to the God Realm together!"
Hearing this, the Snow Empress paused slightly, her heart instantly enveloped in warmth and emotion.
But soon, the Snow Empress shook her head gently. "Bing'er, I can't let you take the punishment alone."
"Moreover... things are not as simple as you think. Proactively confessing to him versus being passively discovered by him—the punishment will definitely be different. I can never allow you to suffer any harm. Even if someone has to do it, it will be me."
"And... the key point is, how do we get Ao Yao to give us the Legacy?"
"That is a God Position. Wanting to obtain it without paying any price... is simply impossible."
The Ice Empress pursed her lips, her heart feeling sweet.
Both of them were willing to take the diary book's punishment for each other.
It was just that... Xue'er was right. To get the Legacy of this God Position, they would definitely have to pay a corresponding price.
"Is it possible... that there's no way at all?"
"No... there must be a way. Let me think. Since this boundless fortune has fallen upon us, no matter what, we must strive for it!"
"For now, let's stay in Shrek City temporarily. Let me think about what we should do..."
