Snow Empress smiled and shook her head. "I was just making a casual remark. I didn't an for you to eat less. You're almost a 200,000 year old beast now, yet you're still acting the sa as when you first followed ."
In the world of soul beasts, once a beast surpasses 100,000 years of cultivation, it enters an entirely new realm and can be classified as a fierce beast. Of course, there are varying levels among them, with the top ten fierce beasts being far stronger than ordinary ones.
Ice Bear King muttered, "My life was given to by you, Snow Empress. So, whatever you say, I take it very seriously. And it's not just every soul beast here will take your words to heart."
After saying this, it even rubbed its head against Snow Empress' hand and squinted its eyes slightly.
Huo Yuhao, standing to the side, thought that this wasn't an exaggeration.
Among the three major soul beast domains in Peerless Tang Sect, the Extre North was indeed the most unified. Snow Empress was the undisputed ruler here, and no soul beast ever challenged her authority.
This was actually quite rare.
Even in the Star Dou Forest, Di Tian frequently encountered issues regarding cohesion.
Of course, the main issue in Star Dou Forest ca from Bear Lord, who constantly wanted to challenge Di Tian's position. In the original story, Bear Lord was beaten into submission by Di Tian and finally behaved.
Snow Empress smiled slightly. "Alright, Xiao Bai, I know everyone trusts , which is why they are willing to listen. I haven't seen you all in a long ti, and today, I've gathered everyone to make an announcent."
All the soul beasts present imdiately turned their gazes toward Snow Empress, eagerly awaiting her words. This was undoubtedly an important matter for them.
Snow Empress looked at the assembled soul beasts and said, "You all know that my cultivation has nearly reached 700,000 years. If I want to progress further, I will need to overco my next tribulation. While taking this step will make stronger, heavenly tribulations are an imnse challenge for soul beasts. I cannot guarantee that I will survive.
"Therefore, I need a soul beast to inherit my position and continue leading the soul beasts of the Extre North."
She didn't imdiately reveal that she had beco a Spirit Soul.
There were too many soul beasts gathered here, and if she openly declared her transformation and explained the concept of Spirit Souls, it would cause a trendous psychological shock.
Instead, she planned to have Titan Snow Demon King stay behind later and discuss the matter privately.
As soon as Snow Empress finished speaking, the soul beasts grew restless.
For them, Snow Empress leaving to face a tribulation was an unimaginable loss. She was the guardian deity of the Extre North! If even soone as powerful as her wasn't confident in overcoming the tribulation and feared death, what did that an for all of them?
Seeing the growing commotion, Titan Snow Demon King, concerned about maintaining order, let out a deafening roar and released a surge of killing intent.
In an instant, the previously clamorous soul beasts fell silent as if their throats had been grabbed.
Satisfied, Titan Snow Demon King nodded, then turned to Snow Empress and said, "Snow Empress, if you must leave, the most suitable successor is undoubtedly Ice Empress. She is the strongest soul beast in the Extre North after you."
Although he desired the position himself, he was well aware of his own limitations. In terms of strength, Ice Empress was clearly superior.
Hovering in midair, Ice Empress looked at Titan Snow Demon King and imdiately shook her head. "I will also be facing a tribulation soon. I don't know if I'll survive, so I am obviously not a suitable successor."
"This…" Titan Snow Demon King was surprised. He hadn't expected Ice Empress to be close to her tribulation as well. He had assud she had more ti.
Snow Empress directly appointed a successor. "A Tai, I'm entrusting the Extre North to you. We've known each other for many years, and I trust that you can govern this land well.
"All soul beasts present, listen carefully. A Tai will succeed as the ruler of the Extre North. You must abide by the rules of our land and follow his orders to make the Extre North a better place."
"Snow Empress…" Titan Snow Demon King hadn't expected such recognition from her.
He then spoke with a hint of sorrow. "Snow Empress, I hope you successfully overco your tribulation. When you return, I will gladly return the position of ruler to you."
Snow Empress sighed. "That's all I needed to say for today. Aside from A Tai and Xiao Bai, the rest of you may disperse."
The other soul beasts hesitated. They were reluctant to leave, but under Snow Empress' urging, they gradually departed.
Titan Snow Demon King, however, remained, staring intently at Huo Yuhao.
He had wanted to ask about this human ever since he arrived.
After all, humans were rarely seen in the core region of the Extre North. Yet, judging by Snow Empress' deanor, she had no intention of dealing with this human.
Was he an ally rather than an enemy?
He turned to look at Ice Empress, preparing to ask her. But before he could, she had already flown a short distance away from Huo Yuhao, where the Ice Jade Scorpion clan had gathered. It was clear that she, too, was preparing to appoint a successor.
Once the majority of the soul beasts had dispersed, Snow Empress looked at Titan Snow Demon King and said, "I know you are curious about Yuhao, so let explain.
"What I ntioned earlier about facing my tribulation was simply to reassure the other soul beasts. In reality, I no longer have to worry about heavenly tribulations… because I have already beco Yuhao's Spirit Soul."
"Spirit Soul?" Titan Snow Demon King was stunned.
He knew about soul rings, but he had never heard of Spirit Souls before.
Nearby, Ice Bear King also looked confused. Snow Empress had said she had turned into a Spirit Soul, but what exactly was that?
"Yuhao, I'll leave the explanation to you," Snow Empress said, glancing at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao nodded and began explaining the concept of Spirit Souls their role, their benefits, and their characteristics giving Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Bear King a detailed lesson.
He also provided a slightly modified account of how Snow Empress and Ice Empress had beco his Spirit Souls, adjusting so details for clarity.
"So that's how it is. Spirit Souls are truly remarkable… But who exactly infiltrated the Extre North and took Snow Empress' embryo?" Titan Snow Demon King couldn't shake the feeling that sothing was amiss.
Logically, Snow Empress should have undergone her transformation within the core region of the Extre North.
And the core region was an extrely dangerous place ho to the three great rulers of the Extre North.
Yet sohow, a soul engineer had ventured into this perilous land on the exact day of Snow Empress' transformation, capturing her at the most critical mont.
The timing was simply too perfect.
