--- Chapter 428 ---
Seeing how resolute the past Snow Empress was, the Ice Empress could not help but smile slightly because she really is the 'Snow' she knew, or truly beca the 'Snow' she knew.
A dignified ruler.
The aloof empress.
Yet, truth loved her subjects and ho to death.
anwhile, the current Snow Empress could only sigh because this truly made her question her own origin. However, seeing is believing, and this was perhaps her 'true' past.
Even then, the Snow Empress still can't settle with the fact that the 'past' has changed. She doesn't know if this was necessarily a good change for the future.
"Don't worry, Snow Empress," Han Yuan suddenly stated. "The Glory City won't fall because of that Slaughter God."
"Hmm, what are you implying?" Snow Empress frowned slightly.
Han Yuan smiled faintly, "Because I've decided to take this matter into my own hands."
"Once that Slaughter God appeared, it beca quite personal for , you know?"
While Han Yuan sounded sincere, yes, so sincere that Snow Empress and her fellow Heavenly Snow Maidens felt thankful, sothing about his smile is unsettling.
No, unsettling is not the right word.
It was an eagerness for sothing dangerous.
Unfortunately, neither Snow Empress nor others caught on to the purpose behind Han Yuan's personal interference.
They didn't know about his imnse hatred.
The loathing toward Asura he possessed.
"This..." White-Eyed Phoenix Lord frowned slightly.
"Young Lord, I understood that that 2nd Class God might have triggered so unpleasant mories, but changing the past wasn't an easy matter."
"The space-ti law alone, you might cause an even bigger wave that causes the butterfly effect to go out of control and destroy that past."
"Even God Mother doesn't dare to interfere with space and ti regarding the past; otherwise, the Phoenix Clan would have escaped its unfortunate predicant many years ago."
Han Yuan smiled, "If I said sothing, I wouldn't take it back. Although, indeed, we can't change the past because that would cause too much ripple on the water."
"There is no such rule regarding changing the future."
"Changing the future?" White-Eyed Phoenix Lord mumbled in awe. Yes, there is such a thing. "However, how difficult it would be."
"Not only do you have to pinpoint exactly what happens on our side, but also ti it perfectly for that future to correct itself."
"Normally, it is difficult. After all, we are running against the current of the river known as ti." Han Yuan admitted with a nod. "Thankfully, soone is doing us a favor by putting a boat he left behind in this tiline."
"Young Lord, what do you an by 'boat' in this tiline?" Jade Phoenix Lord and others frowned slightly.
Han Yuan shrugged and responded in a low voice, "You heard what I was saying."
"Soone simply traveled back in ti before we did."
"And he didn't just travel back in ti, but also change it."
"We are rely fixing the change, no, steering the tiline as it used to be."
"Am I right, Snow Empress?"
Everyone imdiately froze on the spot. They glanced at Snow Empress and had a look of shock on their face.
"What makes you notice ?" Snow Empress's expression beca deadly calm as she asked this question.
Han Yuan shook his head gently and responded, "Everything is fine until you revealed yourself by saying that the tiline had changed."
"Your acting skill is quite good, but I caught an indifference in your eyes upon saying that the 'past' has changed."
"Moreover, from the beginning till now, you have been leading us to this situation as if looking for the solution, while the truth is you're the one who makes the problem."
"The greeting, the leading to the spirit guidance platform, and finally, the ti travel."
"You're trying so hard to solve the changing past, the one you caused yourself, but you're too weak."
"No matter how high your cultivation as a spirit beast, at the end of the day, you're still a 'mortal' in a grand way of sche, and you cannot fight a divine-level powerhouse alone."
"You're
"Weak..." Snow Empress bitterly smiled. "You're right, I am indeed too weak to change everything."
"Snow..." The Ice Empress gazed at her best friend worriedly.
Han Yuan looked at the other Heavenly Snow Maidens and comnted calmly, "Well, just like Snow Empress, you also travelled far into the future."
"Right?"
"Nothing grazes past you, huh?" Snow Empress sighed helplessly. "Yes, you're right. We are 'people' of the past."
"Travelling to the future to look for an answer."
"Or perhaps, salvation, if you wanted to think of it that way."
Xiao Wu clutched her head, "Uugh, this is getting too confusing for Xiao Wu."
"I don't get it."
"So, who was the Ti Traveller here?"
"It's Snow Empress, or perhaps, we should call you Ye Ziyun." Bi Ji patted Xiao Wu's head gently. "Right?"
Snow Empress sighed even more, "Even you could guess that I am still Ye Ziyun."
"Eh???" Xiao Wu stared at the Snow Empress in disbelief. "So, you have been tricking us for the whole ti?"
"Technically speaking, she didn't lie to us..." Han Yuan saw more into the Snow Empress's essence. "When she said that she was connected to her past self, though it was one-sided, she ant that the 'current' her is actually Snow Empress possessed by Ye Ziyun's will."
"I see... So, that's why I couldn't find anything weird about her." White-Eyed Phoenix Lord snapped her beak in realization. "The origins of Snow Empress and Ye Ziyun are the sa."
"The only difference is their will."
"So, you hopped into the future via possession, and then brought us back into the past with the special thod."
"I wouldn't call it a special thod..." Snow Empress answered. "There is one way to bring soone from the future to the past to change that past, a thod that is unexplained by common sense and mortal standards."
"The Ice God's Heart."
"The Ice God's Heart is the divine artifact that the first Lord of Glory City found accidentally on this land."
"He has many ways to draw upon the 'Divine' law within the Ice God's Heart and then developed the Spirit Guidance Technology using it as inspiration also."
"That's when he discovered he could trigger Ice God's Trials by cultivating to Level 90, also known as the Title Douluo Realm."
"Even then, he refused to, no, he denied this by being stuck on level 89 for hundreds of years."
"The next city lord also denied the Ice God's Trials until the 5th City Lord discovered that they could simply seal the Ice God's Heart in the Spirit Guidance Tool to prevent the remaining will of the Ice God to choose them."
"But isn't God's Trial good?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but comnt.
Han Yuan rubbed his chin, "Well, that wasn't the case for so people. Ye Ziyun is chosen by the Ice God's Heart, and sure is going to trigger the Ice God's Trials."
"So, that's the true face of the Deification Project."
"You're telling God's Trials to transform you into divinity, casting aside all your humanity to protect the Glory City."
"If that's what I must do, then I will." Snow Empress, no, Ye Ziyun replied with a calm yet confident smile.
"But you wavered..." Jade Phoenix Lord suddenly comnted. "If you did that, you actually won't beco a God. You know your talent the best yourself."
"Even if you have talents, ti doesn't support you."
"Without the 'spiritual energy' from that Small Grotto Demon Plane, your cultivation won't be as high as it is now."
"At most, you will only beco a priest for the Ice God's Trials, preventing you from ever touching the Glory City again."
"That's the future of Heavenly Snow Maiden..."
"That's the future Snow Empress."
"The truth of your origin."
"All of you are priestesses of the Ice God!"
