Everything that happened on the main road was naturally unknown to Shen Hanyu's side, but in fact, by this point in time, everyone already had some guesses in their hearts.
Waiting for You Mengchu was actually not boring at all. Everyone had their own things to do, whether it was cultivation or training, it almost completely occupied all their time. Their originally restless hearts also gradually became clear and calm during this process. This was a transformation of their mental state, and it was a good thing.
Shen Liuyu and Shui Bing'er were busy consolidating their own cultivation. They had both completed a breakthrough. While their strength increased rapidly, some problems had also appeared within their bodies that needed to be resolved. These issues could not be ignored; many of them involved their future cultivation limits and safety. They naturally could not disregard them.
During this period, Bai Nian was frantically slaughtering powerful soul beasts in the surrounding area. Almost every time, she would only stop when her own sanity was faintly eroded by the endless killing intent and resentment. Ye Lingling then used her martial soul to clear the negative attributes from her body. After evolving, the evolutionary properties of her martial soul were truly put to use at this moment.
The good news was that with this near-desperate slaughtering method, she had completed nearly sixty percent of her total goal in a short time. This was an incredibly astonishing speed. By the end of the killing, a trace of numbness seemed to appear in Bai Nian's expression. Fortunately, her willpower was strong enough that she did not suffer any other negative effects, nor did it cause permanent mental shadows or damage to her psyche.
Shen Hanyu and Shen Xinyu were also not idle. Solving the issues on Snow Empress's body still required some time and effort, especially the problem with the Ice God position, which was indeed somewhat troublesome in the short term.
...
After another half a month had passed, the aura around You Mengchu had completely undergone a transformation. The aura around her body became extremely profound. With her body as the center, everything within a ten-meter radius seemed to enter slow motion, trembling faintly along with her light breathing.
The vast soul power continuously hammered against the final barrier. Circles of invisible fluctuations spread out without causing any destruction or impact. The gentle soul power was like ocean waves lightly caressing the heart, making people unconsciously relax and feel pleasure.
Under You Mengchu's continuous efforts, the seemingly unbreakable barrier slowly developed faint cracks. Golden soul power slowly overflowed from her body, dyeing the sky with a layer of brilliant gold.
Crack—
Successive crisp cracking sounds rang out. The soul power fluctuations emanating from You Mengchu's body gradually became terrifying. Above her head, the wind and clouds changed, and a huge tornado rose against the wind. Then, accompanied by one final crisp sound, a golden light pillar shot into the sky, transforming into layers of ripples that spread outward. High in the sky, the wind and clouds shifted; the originally gathered dark clouds were directly dispersed. Golden light scattered across the heavens and earth, adding a rare brightness to this dim world.
Boom—
After a terrifying explosive sound, the space between heaven and earth was suddenly covered by golden light. The Imperial Feather Falcon streaked across the sky at high speed. You Mengchu's figure slowly appeared. A bright smile graced her lips, and her entire temperament appeared purer than before, as if she had been reborn.
The traces in the sky remained, but the surroundings had already returned to normal. You Mengchu walked elegantly to stand before everyone and said softly:
"This time, I must thank everyone for protecting me during my breakthrough. I must especially thank the Evil Emperor and the Demonic Empress; otherwise, I wouldn't have entered the ninety-eighth level so easily..."
Everyone's face carried a trace of a smile. They then stepped forward one after another to congratulate You Mengchu. Advancing to the ninety-eighth level Super Douluo at this age was already an extremely rare genius feat throughout the entire history. Even someone as strong as the Spirit Hall Pope Bibi Dong probably hadn't achieved such accomplishments at You Mengchu's age...
You Mengchu's smile remained unchanged. She quickly joined the other girls in playful banter once again...
On the other side, space fluctuated. Shen Xinyu, who was yawning, walked out somewhat helplessly from Shen Hanyu's spiritual inner world. Behind her, however, followed Snow Empress, whose expression was somewhat gloomy...
The auras of both of them were slightly unstable. Shen Hanyu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Before he could even turn around, a cold, jade-like hand had already landed on his waist.
Snow Empress slightly stood on her tiptoes, then quickly pulled Shen Hanyu and slipped away to a deserted spot while no one was paying attention.
Gu Yuena glanced faintly at the two of them but did not interfere. After all, Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress sneaking off to indulge had happened many times already. From her initial speechlessness as a ten-thousand-year single dog to her final indifference, only she herself knew what kind of mental journey she had gone through...
...
Looking at Snow Empress's increasingly gloomy expression, Shen Hanyu roughly guessed the reason behind it.
Turning his head, Shen Hanyu saw Shen Xinyu's aggrieved and pitiful expression. A helpless, wry smile appeared in his eyes. No wonder there had been a fluctuation in the spiritual inner world earlier; it was probably the two of them fighting. But since it was inside the spiritual inner world, neither had gone all out, they had only exchanged pointers. Otherwise, Shen Hanyu would not have failed to notice.
Snow Empress's gaze was ice-cold. The look she gave Shen Hanyu carried no emotion at all, as if the two of them were bitter, sworn enemies.
Shen Hanyu reached out to touch Snow Empress's cheek, but his hand was fiercely slapped away. Snow Empress's expression grew even colder.
"Me, Bing'er, Lingling... the three of us... and that Frost Ying, I won't say much about her. So now, you won't even let that stupid bird go?"
Snow Empress's voice was like true ten-thousand-year profound ice, making one's whole body feel cold. Yet upon careful listening, one could hear a trace of hidden anger and grievance. She admitted that by now, she couldn't leave Shen Hanyu. However, she was still very unhappy that Shen Hanyu would add more sisters without her consent.
For a moment, Shen Hanyu didn't know what to say. In the past, when facing such situations, his handling method was usually very simple: either physically make the other party submit, or wait for the other party to accept it herself. But seeing Snow Empress's aggrieved appearance now, he couldn't help but feel a bit soft-hearted.
Snow Empress was special to him. From their initial encounter to knowing each other thoroughly now, Snow Empress had accompanied him through a very long stretch of the road. In his indescribable life, Snow Empress occupied a large part of it, just like his parents. Although the two of them never explicitly stated their feelings, every word and action revealed them.
"Alright, it's my fault. But Xue'er, rest assured, no matter what, you will always be the one I love the most..."
Well, these words sounded like something a scumbag would casually promise, but what Shen Hanyu meant was that it was indeed the truth...
Snow Empress's expression remained cold. Shen Hanyu reached out and wrapped his arm around Snow Empress's shoulders. Sensing that she only symbolically resisted for a moment, he directly pulled her into his embrace.
Snow Empress hesitated for a moment but still reached out to wrap her arms around Shen Hanyu's waist. The two embraced in the shadows, just like at the very beginning. Neither of them had changed much.
Snow Empress buried her small face in Shen Hanyu's chest, but soon her brows furrowed noticeably again.
"You still have her scent on you. Tell me, how many times have you secretly fooled around with her behind my back? If that stupid bird hadn't accidentally let it slip, were you really planning to hide it from me for the rest of your life..."
Shen Hanyu circulated his soul power with one hand, instantly causing all the aura around his body to disappear completely. Only then did he say:
"I won't. It's just that I saw you were at a critical period and didn't want to disturb you, so..."
Before Shen Hanyu could finish speaking, Snow Empress snorted coldly and said:
"Hiding it from me is the biggest disturbance to me. You don't know how arrogant that stupid bird was in front of me. I used to think she just wanted to make me uncomfortable, but she actually stole something from my house, and she stole right in front of me. Tell me, shouldn't I be angry?"
Shen Hanyu comforted Snow Empress, whose eyes were filled with killing intent. He had already thought of how to make Shen Xinyu properly recognize her mistake...
At this moment, Snow Empress pinched Shen Hanyu again. Then she slowly raised her head and said softly:
"You and I have both stepped onto the final step of the path to godhood. Shouldn't we complete that matter?"
Shen Hanyu was slightly stunned. For a moment, he really couldn't remember what matter Snow Empress was referring to.
Seeing Shen Hanyu's expression, Snow Empress couldn't help but laugh from extreme anger. Then she said directly:
"You should give this old lady a child, Shen Hanyu..."
Shen Hanyu's expression was somewhat strange, but after a long while, he said softly:
"The current situation..."
Before he could finish, Snow Empress directly kissed him. After a bout of intimacy, the ice on Snow Empress's face slowly melted. Only then did she continue softly:
"Although I already have a human body, my origin is still that of the Ice Heavenly Snow Woman. If I want to nurture a child, it will take at least five years. During this period, it won't affect my strength at all..."
Shen Hanyu was silent for a moment before saying softly:
"Xue'er, are you serious?"
Snow Empress glared at Shen Hanyu and said:
"What? You really don't want to have a child of your own with this Emperor? Or are you planning to have one with that stupid bird instead..."
"Stop, stop, stop..."
Shen Hanyu inexplicably felt that Snow Empress at this moment was a bit scary. But then, he patiently said:
"Xue'er, you should understand that after we become gods and enter the God Realm, the dangers we face will only be more than now, not less. We don't know how long it will take to completely calm everything down. I don't want our child to be born in a chaotic world. I hope even more that he or she is born in a peaceful era that I can absolutely control. Even if he or she has no great ambitions, they can still live freely under our protection..."
Snow Empress glanced at Shen Hanyu and said slowly:
"Your and my child will definitely inherit your glory. His personality could never be content with mediocrity. This is my confidence..."
Shen Hanyu thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. How could his and Snow Empress's child possibly turn out the way he had described earlier?
"Actually, you don't need to worry so much. I just feel that after being together for so long, it's time to have a result, hmm...?"
Shen Hanyu raised an eyebrow, then wrapped his arm around Snow Empress's waist, a smile appearing on his face.
"Mom and Dad have wanted to hold a grandson or granddaughter for a long time. Xue'er, this matter will be entirely up to you..."
Only then did a satisfied smile appear on Snow Empress's face. No matter how many women Shen Hanyu had, his first child had to be born from her. This was Snow Empress's final insistence. Otherwise, she felt she would look down on herself...
...
Star Dou Great Forest.
In the primitive forest that blotted out the sky and sun, a dark purple figure slowly appeared from shattered space. This figure was none other than Bibi Dong, who had disappeared from the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's gaze indifferently swept across the forest below. Then she turned into a stream of light and headed straight toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. The direction she was traveling was precisely the Lake of Life.
At this moment, inside the Lake of Life, the heavily injured Da Ming was quietly sleeping at the bottom of the lake.
Ever since Er Ming had been hunted down and killed by Shen Hanyu and his group, although Da Ming was filled with resentment, he was severely injured and powerless to resist. He could only hide deep in the Lake of Life, relying on the rich life energy there to recover from his wounds.
Unfortunately, the Lake of Life was a coveted prize in the eyes of powerful soul beasts throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest. Neighbors would come to disturb it from time to time. Although Da Ming was furious, he could only come out to drive them away. Over a long period, not only did his injuries fail to improve, but they actually became even more serious. By now, his cultivation had even begun to decline.
But soon, Da Ming, who was in deep sleep, was startled awake by a terrifying aura. Without time to think, he floated straight up to the water's surface.
The visitor was Bibi Dong. Looking at the Heavenly Azure Bull Python whose aura was listless and declining before her, a trace of curiosity appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes. But immediately after, she said nothing more. A ferocious demonic sickle slowly appeared in her hand, followed by a dark purple slash that fiercely attacked Da Ming.
Da Ming's hair stood on end. He had never expected that this woman of unknown origin, whose entire body emitted a cold aura, would possess such terrifying power. A casual strike from her made him smell the scent of death.
Not daring to think too much, Da Ming mobilized all his soul power and sent out a cyan thunderbolt that met the dark purple slash head-on.
Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two was simply not on the same level. Da Ming's resistance appeared somewhat comical at this moment.
Specks of purple light continuously enlarged in Da Ming's eyes. He only felt his brain go blank. The strength in his entire body seemed to disappear in an instant, and all his soul power leaked out uncontrollably. Immediately after, his incomparably massive body crashed heavily to the ground. The light in his eyes slowly dimmed, carrying endless unwillingness...
