: The Snow Empress's Three Wonders, An Invitation from the Gods

Tian Dou City.

"Um???"

"Is Xue Di in eighth place?"

Qin Wuyou stared at the sky for a moment, surprised to see a friend she knew on the list so soon.

Snow Emperor, the overlord of the far north.

Qin Wuyou was not surprised that she made the list.

What truly surprised him was that Xue Di was still wary of him.

This... is quite frustrating.

"Snow Empress, what decision will you make after you receive the Heavenly Curtain reward...?"

Just then, upon hearing the keywords "Snow Emperor," Cai Wenji, who was sleeping in Qin Wuyou's arms, trembled slightly.

The little head nuzzled against Qin Wuyou's clothes, and the little head opened its almond-shaped eyes groggily, its soft voice carrying the languor of someone just waking up.

"Ugh—"

"Sister Xue Di?"

"Brother Wuyou, is Sister Xuedi here?"

Cai Wenji looked around, and finally spotted a familiar figure on the sky. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she pointed at the sky with her little finger, jumping for joy—

"Brother Wuyou, look!"

"It's Sister Xue Di!"

"The sky is talking about Sister Snow Empress~"

Thinking of the good days in the far north, Cai Wenji nuzzled Qin Wuyou's chest with her nose, her small hands gripping his clothes and swaying gently, her soft voice full of coquettishness.

"Brother Wuyou, shall we go to the far north to find Sister Xuedi? I want to eat more iced watermelon, ice cream, and iced grapes, and I also want to build a snowman with Sister Bingdi and Sister Xuedi~"

Qin Wuyou flicked Cai Wenji's forehead.

He said in a bad mood—

"Eat less cold food, or you'll get a stomachache."

"We don't need to make a special trip to the far north. The two of them will naturally come to Tiandou City to find us after a while."

The Snow Empress had no confidence in surviving the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation. If the rewards from the Heavenly Curtain's inventory could help her overcome the tribulation, that would be fine. But if they could only increase her cultivation years, then she would have no choice but to come to the two of them to find a way to survive the tribulation.

…………

The far north, within the core area.

"Ugh! I'm so angry!"

"The Snow Empress is clearly so strong, how could she only be ranked eighth!"

"This ridiculous ranking system completely misunderstands the Snow Empress's power. I absolutely refuse to accept this bullshit ranking; it's utter blasphemy against the Emperor of the Far North!"

Hyotei, transformed into human form, protested against the sky.

She wore a white shirt, a green long skirt, and black stockings. Her long, slender, emerald-green hair was simply tied into two pigtails, which made her look exceptionally cute.

In Hyotei's opinion, Yukitetsu should be ranked at least fifth!

What angered her even more was that she, the second most powerful ruler in the far north, was not on the list of the strongest!

This... is quite embarrassing.

Beside Hyotei stood a woman nearly three meters tall, resembling a human, with a slender and graceful figure, exquisite curves, and a tall and upright physique that exuded elegance.

Her skin was as white and smooth as jade, her face was stunningly beautiful, her eyes and brows exuded a cool and noble air, her long white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and she was surrounded by a cool and refreshing aura.

She is the only snow elf on Douluo Star: the Snow Empress, who is also the supreme emperor of the far north.

"Alright! Hyotei, stop throwing a tantrum!"

To be honest, it's already good that she ranked eighth.

Because of Qin Wuyou and Cai Wenji's relationship, she knew of many beings who were more powerful than herself. These powerful beings had not yet made the list, so what merit did she have to rank ahead of them?

It was precisely because she knew these unknown secrets that she understood even more the value of this ranking of the strongest. Being ranked eighth was already an acknowledgment of her strength and a rare honor.

…………

All living beings: ∑(O_O;)

"Live... has lived for tens of thousands of years?"

"He still has 690,000 years of cultivation left?"

"The only snow elf on Douluo Star?"

The entire human race on Douluo Star was stunned.

Being able to live for tens of thousands of years without dying, and having 690,000 years of cultivation, what's the difference between this and those 100,000-year-old soul beasts?

Oh no! There are still significant differences.

In their understanding, the strongest soul beast is 100,000 years old, but the Ice and Snow Maiden has 690,000 years of cultivation, making her much stronger than the strongest 100,000-year-old soul beast.

…………

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

"Six... six hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation..."

Yue Guan's mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

When His Holiness the Pope was besieging that 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit, he and Ghost had faced the Titan Giant Ape head-on and knew the power of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

In a one-on-one fight, he and Ghost had no chance of winning. In the end, they only managed to hold off the Titan Giant Ape thanks to their combined martial soul technique.

Back then, a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape could easily crush the two of them, leaving them powerless to resist. The strength of the 690,000-year-old Ice and Snow Maiden was simply unimaginable.

Yue Guan swallowed hard, cautiously glancing at Bibi Dong on the papal throne.

He asked—

"Your Holiness, you just mentioned a plan to hunt down the Ice and Snow Maiden..."

Bibi Dong: "..."

At first, she thought the Ice and Snow Maiden was a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

I was just about to arrange for people to hunt her down so I could absorb her spirit rings, since her second spirit was still missing a few spirit rings.

But as the sky was exposed and they learned that the other party had 690,000 years of cultivation, they were all dumbfounded and dared not have the slightest thought of hunting anymore.

Knowing full well that she couldn't beat the other party, she still insisted on going in to her death. Does Bibi Dong look like a fool?

Ignoring Yue Guan, that clueless fool, Bibi Dong turned her gaze to the sky.

A silent exchange circulated among the people in the Papal Palace; they tacitly agreed to cancel the plan to hunt down the Ice and Snow Maiden.

…………

Amidst the anticipation of all beings, the celestial canopy underwent another transformation.

[Skyfall Summary: The Empress of the Far North, the Ice and Snow Maiden, was born in the core of the Far North. She is the only snow elf in the entire Douluo Star. For tens of thousands of years, only the "Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion" has accompanied her. The elf and the soul beast address each other as sisters, guarding the far north cold region together and experiencing the vicissitudes of time hand in hand.]

Thousands of years ago, when invited by a powerful dragon to conspire on a grand plan, she resolutely refused and repelled him with her overwhelming strength.

But several years ago, she, as the ruler of the far north, suffered a crushing defeat. Two powerful deities, traveling through the far north, clashed due to an unexpected misunderstanding, and one of the deities defeated the Ice and Snow Maiden with overwhelming power.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the two deities and the Ice Snow Maiden and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion gradually became friends. The deities gave them human names: the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was the younger sister, known as the Ice Emperor; and the Ice Snow Maiden was the older sister, known as the Snow Emperor.

The two deities also extended an invitation to the two Ice and Snow Empresses, inviting them to become their followers, but the two Empresses politely declined because they believed in the Ice God.

All beings: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Is this something a human being could do?
