Chapter 273: Douluo II's Snow Empress Is Dumbfounded: Have I Become a Knockoff?
The Extreme North.
A spatial rift appeared high in the sky, and two breathtakingly beautiful women stepped out.
One wore a snow-white long dress.
The other wore a short emerald-green dress.
The two who had arrived in the Extreme North were none other than the Snow Empress and Ice Empress from the Douluo Universe.
Now that they had come to this world, they naturally wanted to see the versions of themselves that existed here.
"Xue'er, let me see where the embryo you formed is. Has it already been stolen by a Level 9 Soul Engineer from the Sun Moon Empire?"
The moment they arrived in the Extreme North, the Ice Empress couldn't wait to find the Snow Empress of the Unrivaled Tang Sect world.
She spread out her divine sense, silently covering the entire Extreme North.
"Xue'er, I found her! Come on, let's go see her."
Sensing the location of the Snow Empress embryo, Ice Empress grabbed Snow Empress's hand, and the two disappeared in a flash.
Not long afterward, the two appeared inside a hidden cave deep within the Extreme North.
At the very end of the cave rested a snow-white embryo radiating the power of ice and snow.
"Xue'er, so this is the other you?"
"Let me have a good feel."
The Ice Empress placed her small hand on the Snow Empress embryo and gently stroked it back and forth.
"Mm... Xue'er, this embryo actually feels pretty nice."
"Want to try?"
Ice Empress asked with a smile.
"I'll pass."
"I'd rather not bother her."
Watching the Ice Empress continue rubbing the embryo, Snow Empress sighed helplessly.
The Ice Empress was still just as lively and mischievous as ever.
For some reason, however, seeing someone continuously stroking an embryo that was essentially another version of herself made Snow Empress feel rather uncomfortable.
"Bing'er, that's enough."
"We still have important business."
"I'll help her survive her seven-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation first."
The Snow Empress finally spoke.
She couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"Oh, right."
"Okay then."
"I've petted her enough anyway."
"Xue'er, let's help her."
Ice Empress's expression immediately turned serious.
The next moment, the two slowly poured their divine power into the snow-white embryo.
As time passed, the embryo began to radiate a dazzling azure light.
Within it, the consciousness of the Douluo II Snow Empress gradually awakened.
"Did... I succeed?"
Having just awakened, the Douluo II Snow Empress was still somewhat dazed.
After a short while, she realized that her condition had never been better.
Not only had she successfully survived the seven-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation, but after choosing to rebuild in human form, her strength was also steadily recovering.
"How incredible..."
"But that doesn't make sense."
"How could I possibly have received such a tremendous blessing?"
She couldn't understand it.
Even if her transformation into human form had succeeded, the benefits shouldn't have been this astonishing.
Soon, the Douluo II Snow Empress noticed a power far beyond that of soul masters continuously flowing into the embryo formed by her rebirth.
She released her divine sense.
The first thing she saw was an adorable girl with twin ponytails wearing an emerald-green dress.
"Bing'er?"
"Why is she here?"
"And why is her aura so incredibly powerful?"
The Douluo II Snow Empress was still confused.
Then, her divine sense shifted toward the beautiful woman in a snow-white dress standing beside the Ice Empress.
Her mind instantly trembled.
"Th-This... how is that possible?"
"That looks... exactly like me?!"
No matter how carefully she observed, the woman outside wearing the snow-white dress was unmistakably the Snow Empress of the Extreme North.
"My mind is a mess..."
"Why are there two of me?"
"If she's the Snow Empress..."
"Then who am I?"
The Douluo II Snow Empress fell into complete existential confusion.
Outside the embryo, as Ice Empress and Snow Empress continued channeling their divine power, the Douluo II Snow Empress's strength gradually recovered to its absolute peak.
Then, the embryo shattered.
A brilliant white light flashed.
The figure of the Douluo II Snow Empress finally appeared before the eyes of the Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
"Who... are you?"
The Douluo II Snow Empress asked, her eyes filled with confusion.
"We're the Ice Empress and Snow Empress from another world ten thousand years ago."
"In other words, you can think of me as your twin sister. That should make it easier to understand."
Snow Empress explained with a gentle smile.
"Another version of me from ten thousand years ago?"
"But why are you so much stronger than I am?"
"Logically speaking, shouldn't the me from ten thousand years ago be weaker than the current me?"
"And how did you cross into another world to arrive in mine?"
The Douluo II Snow Empress had far too many questions.
She poured them all out, hoping to receive an answer.
Hearing this, the corners of Snow Empress's lips curved upward slightly, as though she had recalled a wonderful memory.
"As for that..."
"I'll show you the past ten thousand years."
As soon as she finished speaking, Snow Empress flicked her fingertip.
A streak of icy-blue light shot forward and flowed directly into the Douluo II Snow Empress's forehead.
Very quickly, one scene after another appeared within the Douluo II Snow Empress's mind.
They were the memories of Snow Empress's journey alongside Yun Yuan.
After an unknown amount of time, the Douluo II Snow Empress looked toward the Snow Empress, a faint blush gradually spreading across her cheeks.
So...
The version of herself from another world had actually married a human man.
Judging from those memories, she was living an incredibly happy life.
Even so, the Douluo II Snow Empress couldn't quite understand it.
The current her still knew nothing about love or romance.
However, toward this Snow Empress, who was almost like her twin sister, she felt nothing but heartfelt blessings.
"Xue'er, I want to take me from this world."
Ice Empress said to Snow Empress with eager anticipation.
After all, the version of herself in this world was probably still a tsundere.
And there was nothing the Ice Empress enjoyed more than teasing and "training" tsunderes.
Besides, the Ice Empress of this world wasn't strong enough to defeat her.
She could only let herself be pushed around.
"Do you want me to come with you?"
Snow Empress asked.
"I'll go by myself first."
"Xue'er, you can stay here and keep Snow Empress company."
After saying that, the Ice Empress released her divine sense, covering the entire Extreme North in search of the Douluo II Ice Empress.
Not long afterward, she found the Douluo II Ice Empress sleeping atop a massive snow-covered mountain in the core region of the Extreme North.
"My dear little sister..."
"Your big sister is here to train you."
Calling out cheerfully, the Ice Empress vanished from Snow Empress's side.
...
At the summit of the snow mountain where the Douluo II Ice Empress was sleeping,
The Ice Empress appeared silently.
She quietly approached the slumbering Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, watching the beautiful giant scorpion with great interest.
"Was Ah Yuan looking at me like this when we first met?"
Ice Empress suddenly recalled her first encounter with Yun Yuan.
Back then,
Yun Yuan had been someone she found extremely annoying.
All he ever did was bully her.
Yet as time passed, their daily bickering gradually left irreplaceable marks in each other's hearts.
In the end, with Snow Empress playing matchmaker, she and Yun Yuan had finally come together.
Looking at the exquisitely beautiful Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion before her, Ice Empress couldn't resist teasing the great scorpion by lightly flicking her tail.
"Mm."
"The other me is actually pretty fun."
Ice Empress gave an honest evaluation.
The sleeping Douluo II Ice Empress felt a strange sensation on her body.
She slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was an adorable, breathtakingly beautiful girl with emerald-green twin ponytails.
"Huh?"
"Why am I seeing myself?"
"Oh... right."
"I'm asleep right now."
"This must be my dream."
The Douluo II Ice Empress stared blankly at the Ice Empress for a moment.
Thinking she was simply dreaming, she closed her eyes again and happily went back to sleep.
But the Ice Empress had no intention of letting her off so easily.
Now and then, she would gently shake the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's tail.
Then she'd reach over and rub the little scorpion's head with a mischievous smile.
