Chapter 209 The Snow Empress Re-transforms.
"Um?"
Kong Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this; it was quite different from what they had agreed upon before.
Electrolux then added, "After my research over this period of time, I've discovered a better method, which we might want to give a try."
"Teacher, time is of the essence!"
Kong Xuan sounded anxious; preparations were underway outside, just waiting for Electrolux to make his move.
Why did my teacher suddenly "change her mind" at this time?!
Electrolux gave Kong Xuan a reassuring look: "Don't worry, it won't take long, and if it succeeds, the results will be better than we expected."
Kong Xuan had calmed down by now, knowing that Electrolux was not someone to act recklessly, and asked, "Teacher, what should I do?"
Electrolux pointed to the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which stood deep within Kong Xuan's spiritual sea, and said, "This super artifact has the power to suppress. Although you cannot control it yet, it should not be a problem to draw upon a trace of its power."
Kong Xuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "Teacher, do you want me to use the power of the Ruyi Jingu Bang to suppress the Snow Empress's scattered energy?"
"That's right!"
Electrolux smiled and nodded: "Although we haven't tried it yet, I think there's a high chance of success."
"Even if it doesn't work out, it's okay, your teacher will still cover for you."
Hearing this, Kong Xuan felt more confident.
Time was of the essence, so he didn't waste any time. He immediately closed his eyes and made contact with the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff).
From the outside, in Gu Yuena's eyes, Kong Xuan seemed to be stunned for a moment.
However, just moments later, a dazzling golden light shot out from between Kong Xuan's eyebrows without warning!
The golden light instantly pierced through the icy and despairing air, striking with perfect precision into the disintegrating Snow Emperor's essence in mid-air!
"Buzz!"
As the golden light merged with the white aura, a scene that delighted all the ferocious beasts unfolded.
The originally illusory and uncertain Snow Emperor's essence seemed to have been injected with a powerful stimulant, stabilizing itself after constantly dissipating.
A soft yet resilient golden halo quickly spread out, coating the originally pure white airflow with a sacred golden edge.
It was as if an invisible, perfectly formed barrier had instantly formed, completely sealing off all the loopholes.
"It worked?"
Gu Yuena's eyes showed a hint of surprise, thinking to herself that Kong Xuan was indeed capable.
Xue Di had already prepared herself to return to nothingness completely. The feeling of her power being constantly drained away and her sense of existence gradually disappearing filled her with despair.
However, the instant the golden light merged in, an indescribable, vast power instantly enveloped her gradually disintegrating core consciousness, like the strongest dam, blocking the flood of destruction.
An indescribable, overwhelming joy of surviving a catastrophe instantly overwhelmed Xue Di's consciousness.
All these changes originated from the golden light emanating from Kong Xuan's brow. Gu Yuena and the ferocious beasts focused their gazes on Kong Xuan once again, their eyes filled with shock and deep disbelief.
Kong Xuan felt the gazes from all sides and slowly said, "The situation is temporarily stable, but we will need everyone's help to maintain it."
Finally, Kong Xuan turned his gaze to the white stream of energy radiating golden light: "Snow Emperor, shouldn't we be able to continue the transformation process that was left unfinished before?"
The Snow Emperor's essence surged in mid-air, seemingly trying to explore this possibility.
A moment later, Xue Di's voice came again: "It should... really work!"
This time, her voice held no anger or hatred, only surprise and gratitude.
In Xue Di's perception, the golden energy was extremely powerful, seemingly suppressing all the "unsettling factors" and allowing her to return to the right track of transformation.
After that, Kong Xuan no longer needed to remind them. The ferocious beasts continued to transfer their soul power to help the Snow Empress transform into human form.
As time passed, the essence of the Snow Emperor in mid-air began to change state, transforming from a gaseous mass into a liquid mixture of gold and white, and then gradually condensing into a human shape.
Kong Xuan originally thought that after Xue Di successfully transformed into human form, she would be a six-year-old child.
But looking at her gradually solidifying body, she must be at least seventeen or eighteen years old.
The Snow Empress, now in human form, had long, pure white hair that cascaded down her back to her feet. Her skin was as white as snow, and her face was ethereal and beautiful, like a snow fairy untouched by the world.
Her eyes were sky blue, giving them a crystal-clear appearance.
Her slender figure was flawless, and her white dress, without any superfluous decoration, accentuated her elegance and beauty!
The ferocious beasts dispersed their power, and the Snow Empress floated down from mid-air.
She slightly raised her slender hand, a soft yet incredibly pure ice-blue halo flowing from her fingertips, and gently waved it around.
The ice crystals that had been freezing the area around the Lake of Life suddenly emitted a faint "crackling" sound, as if receiving a king's command.
The ice then melted and receded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Instead of turning into stagnant water, it sublimated directly into countless tiny particles that shimmered with a faint light.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the surrounding snow-covered landscape disappeared, replaced by the vibrant life and lush greenery that the Lake of Life should have had.
Only a faint, lingering chill in the air silently testifies to the freezing temperatures and peril that had just been experienced here.
The Snow Empress stood on the lakeside, now restored to its original state, her cool gaze sweeping over the ferocious beasts before finally settling on Kong Xuan.
A complex emotion flashed in her azure eyes, and her clear, cold voice was like ice water striking jade: "Thank you all for your help. I, the Snow Empress, will remember this kindness!"
Among all the ferocious beasts, only Di Tian and Xue Di had met several times.
He asked in bewilderment, "With nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, how could the Snow Emperor still be able to rebuild her human form?"
Normally, a soul beast only has one chance to transform into a human when it reaches 100,000 years of age.
After missing this opportunity, as his power increased, he would never have the chance to transform again.
The other ferocious beasts also looked at the Snow Emperor, after all, the Heavenly Tribulation was a sword hanging over their heads.
If they have the opportunity to retake the course, it will provide them with another way out for the future.
The Snow Emperor did not hide anything and said, "I also encountered a snow lotus with 100,000 years of cultivation. It is difficult for it to develop intelligence, but it possesses the pure essence of heaven and earth."
"It was only by using this 100,000-year-old snow lotus as a catalyst that I was able to seal my cultivation and thus transform into a human."
The ferocious beasts felt a pang of regret upon hearing this, as this method was not widely applicable, and without sufficient opportunity, they would not have such a chance.
Di Tian sighed, "I admire Xue Di's courage in returning to human form."
"Human lifespan is only a few hundred years. If one cannot become a god and ascend to heaven, one will eventually just be a handful of yellow earth."
Since the Snow Empress had made this choice, she had naturally prepared herself mentally. At this moment, she said frankly, "I am determined not to survive the tribulation of seven hundred thousand years. I might as well transform into human form and start over to fight for that sliver of hope."
Although it was the first time the other ferocious beasts had seen the Snow Emperor, their aura and presence impressed them.
"snort!"
"How unfair the divine realm is to soul beasts! Those human gods have forbidden soul beasts from becoming gods."
"Even if the Snow Empress were to transform into a human, most of the human gods would probably not pass on their divine positions!"
Gu Yuena's tone was filled with the chill of anger, and her eyes were blazing with hatred.
She is unaware that the order preventing soul beasts from becoming gods was not issued by human deities, but by the Dragon God she reveres.
Kong Xuan knew about this news, but he didn't reveal it at this time. After all, there were too many things involved, and there would be a better opportunity to explain it later.
Xue Di turned her gaze to her, not understanding why this "human" seemed to be speaking from the perspective of a soul beast, and why there was no respect whatsoever for the supreme deity in her tone.
Who is this?
Xue Di looked at Di Tian, instinctively feeling that she would get the answer from him.
