Chapter 146: The inheritance of the Ice God, fusion of the Snow Empress!
Ice God Canyon.
After Hu Bai summoned the Divine Artifact of Water, under the blessing of the seven-colored mark on his forehead, the entire ground of Ice God Canyon suddenly trembled.
"W-what's going on?!" Tianmeng Iceworm exclaimed, his face filled with panic.
Not only the ground, but even the walls on both sides—formed by ice—were violently shaking, and tiny cracks appeared. Just when everyone thought Ice God Canyon was about to collapse...
The shaking stopped!
A beam of ice-blue light shot up from beneath Hu Bai!
"H-this kid actually succeeded. This is... the aura of the Ice God!" Snow Empress murmured, looking at Hu Bai in shock.
At this moment, she had already made her decision.
Hu Bai's eyes were tightly closed as he entered a pale space where a light blue figure appeared.
"I didn't expect it would be you who awakened me, but I sense the aura of old friends on your body. Aren't you going to come out and meet me?" The Ice God's majestic voice suddenly chuckled.
"Hehe, old fellow, you're already dead, yet you're still so perceptive."
This voice came from the God of Fire.
The next moment, with the seven-colored mark on Hu Bai's forehead as the guide, seven seven-colored figures appeared in this space.
The Seven Element Gods!
This was also the first time Hu Bai had seen the appearance of the Seven Elemental Gods. Most of them were humanoid, but the Goddess of Light was a sphere, and the God of Water looked somewhat like a mermaid.
"You seven, to combine your powers and pass them on to this little fellow—that's truly bold. It must be your intention for him to come here and awaken me, right?"
"Are you trying to make my God Position also merge into him?"
The God of Darkness said indifferently, "Yes, Ice God. You must have sensed this little fellow's power. For him, the Seven Element God Position alone would be a restriction, which is why we have this God Position Fusion now."
"Moreover, it was this little fellow who awakened you with his own power. We didn't provide any assistance."
The Ice God nodded, looked at Hu Bai, remained silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "Anyway, I only have this wisp of Divine Sense left. Passing on this God Position, I can finally be free."
"Little fellow, I just hope that if you truly achieve the God King position in the future, you can separate the element God Positions contained within your body and find corresponding Legacy holders to pass them on to."
"After all, if you become a God King then, you'll need a group of people under you, won't you?"
Hu Bai was slightly stunned, then nodded heavily: "Of course."
If he truly achieved the God King position in the future, as the Ice God said, he would need a group of subordinates, and these subordinates would ideally correspond to his element God Positions.
After all, every God Position in the God Realm doesn't appear out of thin air; there's a reason for every God Position's existence.
The seven major elements represented by the Seven Elemental Gods are the fundamental elements that constitute nature.
Other elements, such as ice elements, are all derived from these elements.
Ice is derived from water.
Subsequently, that wisp of the Ice God's Divine Power directly merged into the center of Hu Bai's forehead, and the seven-colored mark immediately gained an ice-blue hue, distinct from deep blue.
The God of Water: "Oh, by the way, this little fellow came here this time not only to obtain your Legacy but also to find a place for his second ice-attribute Martial Soul. After much thought, your pure Ice God Bloodline is the most suitable."
The corner of the Ice God's mouth twitched slightly. Was he just a tool?
After sensing Hu Bai's situation, although he found it very surprising, he still sighed: "Little Water, I only have this wisp of Divine Power left. How can I give him a God-bestowed Martial Soul? However... I do have a compromise."
The God of Water: "What?"
The Ice God: "I can sense the presence of two great Extreme North kings within the canyon. That Snow Empress is a being born from the Extreme North itself, and she also believes in me."
This last trace of my Divine Power can strengthen her Bloodline, allowing her life to advance and achieve a true God-given Soul Beast. If she becomes this little fellow's second Martial Soul, she will naturally be a God-given Martial Soul.
What do you think?"
The God of Water smiled: "If you say so, I naturally have no objections. However, the other party must agree, right?"
Just then, the Ice God's ethereal figure appeared before everyone. He looked at Snow Empress and said, "Snow Empress, are you willing to become the second Martial Soul of my Legacy holder? I can use a wisp of my Divine Power to help you advance, and by following him, you can also ascend to the God Realm with him in the future."
"Of course, if you're unwilling..."
"I am willing!" Snow Empress said urgently. "Lord Ice God, as your loyal believer, I am willing to dedicate everything I have. It's just that I have an impolite request; my sister, Ice Empress, also wants to..."
The Ice God understood and smiled: "Of course, that's fine. After you become Hu Bai's second Martial Soul, you will provide his first soul ring, and Ice Empress can sacrifice herself to become his second soul ring. I can preserve her Soul from destruction."
"Both of your spiritual bodies can live in Hu Bai's spiritual space from now on."
"Thank you, Lord Ice God!" Snow Empress and Ice Empress said respectfully, then bowed.
After speaking, the Ice God's last trace of power merged into the bodies of Snow Empress and Ice Empress, respectively. Both of them could feel that the hidden injuries left by their previous breakthrough were completely healed, and their Bloodlines were strengthened!
Although their cultivation didn't increase much, they could feel that if the Heavenly Tribulation were to descend now, they would be able to pass it with great ease!
Subsequently, Snow Empress came before Hu Bai, her expression serious: "Merging with me to become your second Martial Soul should not be an easy task. Tianmeng Iceworm has just told us how to do it."
"Later, my own torso bone will fuse with you, strengthening your skeletal strength. After the Fusion is complete, we will proceed with the Martial Soul Fusion."
"And this process will be very painful for you. If you can't endure it..."
"I can do it." Hu Bai looked at Snow Empress with determined eyes.
Snow Empress smiled faintly: "Good, then let's begin now."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei also voluntarily guarded outside Ice God Canyon.
Tianmeng Iceworm said with some excitement: "Then let's begin. Listen to my commands!"
This Martial Soul Fusion would be led by Tianmeng Iceworm. He would protect Hu Bai's mind at critical moments, preventing him from fainting due to the pain.
Once he fainted, the Fusion would be considered a failure. At that time, not only he but also Snow Empress and Tianmeng Iceworm himself would die!
