"..."
"Whatever makes you happy."
Huo Yuhao was speechless. Na Ke Xia's fervor for the Earth Beast had exceeded his imagination.
He hoped that this guy wouldn't add too many personal touches when creating the Earth Beast, such as making it grow wings.
"I'm leaving now. I should be able to come for the competition the day after tomorrow."
"I'm entrusting Bai E and the others to you, as well as Shrek Academy."
"If you need anything when you study alchemy, just tell me, and I'll try my best to satisfy you."
Na Ke Xia looked up and said:
"Don't worry."
"They'll be fine."
"As for alchemy, although the system is completely different from Onpharos, there shouldn't be any problems learning it."
"I don't need anything."
Huo Yuhao nodded, his figure gradually disappearing into the air, leaving only a voice echoing quietly in the room.
"By the way, my friend."
"When you return to Shrek Academy this time, you can see your old friend there; she's been assigned there too."
"I believe you two will definitely work together happily."
Huo Yuhao's remaining spiritual energy formed a mental image in the air.
Since obtaining the 100,000-year-old "Wangchuan Dew" at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and consuming and digesting it, his spiritual energy had entered the Spirit Domain Realm, which is 20,000 points of spiritual energy.
Although he was still some distance from the birth of a spiritual domain, he easily mastered the mental imagery of the Spirit Domain Realm.
Looking at the mental imagery, and the blonde woman on the screen, Na Kexia couldn't help but shake his head and say,
"What a god with a twisted sense of humor."
"Working with her, I'm afraid it'll disgust me to death in the future."
Na Kexia picked up the alchemy notebook written by Electrolux again and continued reading from where he left off.
The alchemy pioneered by Huo Yuhao in this world was closer to miracles themselves. Na Kexia liked this system full of possibilities, like the Earth Beast, you never know what kind of surprise it would bring.
...
Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared from Xia's room and soon appeared in the camp in the far north.
The dry, cold wind blew against Huo Yuhao's cheeks, a feeling he had long since become accustomed to.
Su Tong was fast asleep, slumped over the table directly in front of him.
Huo Yuhao gently draped a black overcoat over her shoulders and used his telekinesis to lift her up, letting her lie down on the makeshift bed in the tent.
Then Huo Yuhao stepped out of the tent. In the distance, the Far North Shipyard was brightly lit, and every now and then, huge black figures would trudge along the icy sea carrying large building materials.
The temperature outside was tens of degrees different from the temperature inside the tent.
Each tent was equipped with a soul-guided boiler, which constantly maintained the temperature inside.
These boilers were highly efficient and did not produce carbon dioxide, making them particularly safe. Soul power, this versatile energy source, was simply too overpowered.
Back in his own tent, Huo Yuhao also began to sleep.
In fact, as his control over the three powers increased, Huo Yuhao no longer needed to sleep, and even his dependence on food gradually decreased.
He maintained his previous routine and eating habits purely out of instinct and deliberate effort.
"Hey, Lao Bing, how are you feeling today?"
Huo Yuhao woke up to find himself in the Ice Palace where the Ice Emperor was recuperating.
Previously, she used the sky as her blanket and the ground as her bed.
Later, after seeing the palaces in the human world on the magic network, she built one for herself out of solid ice.
"Almost there."
"We can offer the sacrifice today."
"Shall we begin now?"
Ice Empress, still appearing as a little girl with twin ponytails, stood before Huo Yuhao, forcing him to look down at her, a scene somewhat reminiscent of when he first saw Xiao Xiao.
"Yes, if you think it's alright, then let's begin the sacrifice."
"The soul ritual is ready."
Without any hesitation, Ice Empress's body began to radiate an extreme green, dyeing the sky above the Ice Palace a vibrant green.
In the distance, all members of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, led by their three 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Emperor Scorpions, lowered their heads.
They knew their emperor had reached the end of his beastly life, but no one felt sadness, for they knew their emperor would live forever with the great Northern Emperor.
Many Ice Jade Scorpions' diamond-like eyes revealed envy; they were too weak, not even worthy of making the emperor smile.
Near the Northern Shipyard, Snow Empress put down her book and looked in Ice Empress's direction, a surge of joy welling up within her.
"Bing'er is starting her sacrifice."
"That's wonderful!"
"Finally, I don't have to suffer through studying all by myself anymore."
She's been frantically reviewing math and alchemy lately, and the exams are coming up soon.
She doesn't want to be locked in that dark room doing practice papers again; that feeling of being in prison is driving her crazy.
Huo Yuhao had already told her in advance that the exam setter this time is Electrolux, a piece of news that almost made Xue Di faint.
Electrolux's questions are strange and difficult, and this big shot is particularly strict in grading papers.
If she doesn't review well, she'll really be singing "Tears Behind Bars" in that dark room again.
As for the Water Dragon King, Xue Di was initially quite happy to have found a kindred spirit, but she hadn't expected that while the Water Dragon King wasn't particularly intelligent, she possessed incredible strength.
Her God-King level mental power and absurd calculation speed made Xue Di's comparison with her seem like comparing an electric scooter to a high-speed train.
With this superhuman calculation ability, the Water Dragon King read books at quantum speed; the time it took Xue Di to read a book once was enough for the Water Dragon King to read it hundreds of times.
Now, seeing her Bing'er about to join her, Xue Di was looking forward to experiencing the joy of learning together with Bing'er.
"Sister, I can't go on."
Huo Zhanji dropped his ice sword and collapsed onto the beach, his eyes blankly staring at the sky of the far north.
His two spirits, Xiao Xie and Bing Can, nuzzled his face, trying to get him up to fight again.
Helpless, Dai Ying came to Huo Zhanji's side, pulled him up, and said,
"Your physical condition is too poor!"
"Without activating the Fallen Angel, you can only last this long?"
Huo Zhanji patted the sand off his body, his face contorted in pain, and said,
"Sister, I'm a spirit-attribute soul master!"
"And my innate soul power is only level five, how can my physical condition be strong!"
Dai Ying had no solution, so she could only comfort him, saying,
"Level five innate soul power, I had level ten back then."
"But don't worry, just cultivate the Heavenly Demon Technique properly, it's a very powerful technique, you can make up for it with the technique."
"If we were in the original timeline, I could use my divine power to help you refine your body."
Huo Zhanji's eyes lit up,
"Sister! Really?"
"When Dad sends us back to the original timeline, you can help me refine my body!"
Dai Ying thought for a moment, then suddenly felt something was amiss.
"Uh, it doesn't seem like that will work."
"Your parents arranged for you to have level five innate soul power, probably so you'd suffer a bit more."
"If I had divine power to help you,"
"Dad might beat me up."
Dai Ying didn't want to be whipped like a top by her fathers from both worlds!
Ever since she learned about her father and the White Tiger Duke's mansion, she made up her mind that if she had another chance to travel through time, she would definitely change her surname first!
Huo Zhanji said regretfully, hanging his head,
"Okay."
Just then, a girl with long dark blue hair and dark blue eyes, wearing a white dress, walked over, hands on her hips, and said,
"Hey, you two."
"That big bad guy is back, want to go see him?"
Huo Zhanji and Dai Ying looked at the girl in front of them and said in unison,
"Go!"
Bai Xiuxiu nodded and said,
"I'll take you there."
Dai Ying and Huo Zhanji followed behind Bai Xiuxiu, Dai Ying's gaze extremely complicated.
Huo Zhanji's memories were sealed, so he didn't know the identity of the girl in front of him, but Dai Ying knew very well.
The woman before her, Bai Xiuxiu, was their cousin-in-law in their timeline.
Of course, they hadn't actually met many times.
Thinking back, aside from her uncle Tang Wulin, she realized she hadn't seen many members of her maternal grandfather's family.
She wondered if her father had done it on purpose.
The thought that her mother's soul was always in a three-part state in every timeline made her clench her fists, wanting to punch Tang San.
Even tigers don't eat their cubs! In this world, her father, seeing his daughter from another world bearing the surname of his enemy, would only beat her severely to vent his anger.
However, Dai Ying knew that in the original timeline, everything was already set in stone, and she couldn't do anything about it.
But in this timeline, she could do something.
She was once one of the Seven Original Sin Gods, one of the seven gods most skilled in the realm of souls.
With Huo Yuhao's tacit approval, she secretly reached Wang Dong's room in the dream space and used the few remaining divine powers in her spiritual sea to plant a landmine in Wang Dong's soul.
This is a landmine aimed at my grandfather.
If he dares to control Wang Dong's soul again, this landmine will definitely bring him unexpected joy.
Before switching to the Asura God, the current Sea God is still a first-level god, not much stronger than Dai Ying in the past. This divine power landmine is enough to deal a severe blow to Tang San's soul.
Dai Ying didn't even hide her divine power fluctuations; once Tang San suffers a setback, he'll discover that this divine power belongs to the God of Original Sin.
Hearing from his father in this world that the Sea God faction and the Destruction faction in the God Realm are irreconcilable, wouldn't it be alright if she added fuel to the fire?
