After a long while, a sigh echoed through the palace: "Fate is unavoidable. Wanxin's life is destined to face this tribulation, whether it is a blessing or a curse, we re mortals cannot fathom it!"
The gaze of the Ice Palace Master dimd slightly as she continued to ask, "Master, is the day of the Ice God's return truly the ti when the Ice Gate opens?"
Silence pervaded the palace.
After another long period, a faint voice erged: "The Ice God, the Ice Gate—if they are said to exist, then they do. From the ti our Ice Palace was rebuilt, over three thousand years have passed, and throughout the generations, both the Sect Leaders and countless disciples have been striving for the Ice God's return!
Disciple, rember my words: believing is seeing, and disbelief leads to emptiness. As the Ice Palace Master, you must bear your responsibilities! Do you wish to let the endeavors of past Ice Palace Masters, including mine, go up in flas, or do you want the Ice Palace disciples to live with faith?!"
"I... I do not know." The Ice Palace Master's heart was extrely conflicted at this mont.
The legend of the Ice God has existed since the Ice Palace's reconstruction, with the Palace Master from that ti insisting that their palace was blessed by the Ice God, and they would surely welco the Ice God's return, reviving the ancient splendor!
In the depiction of that Palace Master, in ancient tis, the Ice God presided over the Far North, ruling over all icy and snowy lands.
The world back then was vast, unimaginably imnse.
The Ice God of that era was incredibly powerful, astonishingly so.
It is said that when the Ice God grew angry, snow would cover three hundred million miles!
The world was filled with mighty warriors, with countless powerful clans.
The Far North occupied an unimaginably large area, yet the Ice God could battle across all snowy lands, demonstrating unimaginable strength...
These words are engraved in the heart of every generation of Ice Palace Masters, morized to the point they could recite them backward; they have almost beco a belief etched into their bones, each generation striving to find the Reincarnation of the Ice God.
However, saying this has persisted for three thousand years!
Three thousand years!
What faith can be passed down for three thousand years from ancient tis to the present?
Yet the won of the Ice Palace have persisted!
One generation after another, passing it down orally.
Outsiders say they are cold and indifferent to others, yet no one can imagine the loneliness of upholding faith for three thousand years.
Now, the current Ice Palace Master has finally found soone who is very likely the Reincarnation of the Ice God; this is a great hope!
Yet, as hope draws nearer, she has started to shrink back.
It's like a migrant worker who feels apprehensive when nearing ho, becoming increasingly afraid as they approach their hotown.
A heavy sigh emanated from the great hall.
The Ice Palace Master's master, the Ice Palace Supre Elder, sighed: "Ah, enough, enough, don't overthink it. Just rember, Chu Xiaoxiao has more than a ninety percent chance of being the Reincarnated Body of the Ice God. We must nurture her vigorously, and let her always sit on the Spirit Nourishing Jade passed down by that Palace Master; the Ice God will surely return!"
"I... I understand, Master. I will do my utmost to ensure everything goes without a hitch. Also, please take care of your health and try to divine less." The Ice Palace Master, after saying this, took her leave.
In the great hall, the Ice Palace Supre Elder sat cross-legged on the Ice Jade, with a crystalline Ice Compass placed before her, while her fingers continued calculating sothing.
After a while, she suddenly sighed: "I can't discern Xu Hao's fate; how strange, how peculiar. There must be secrets unknown to , but I dare not continue calculating, or I will suffer backlash.
Ah, born with Yü, why was Liang also born? Wanxin is a very promising seed, but Chu Xiaoxiao is highly likely the Reincarnated Body of the Ice God; before the Ice God's return, she must be the one we focus on nurturing, otherwise why would Wanxin end up being a hostage?
However, the ons indicate that Wanxin's departure this ti is ominous, yet this misfortune cos with a great fortune. Is Xu Hao truly her benefactor? Enough, enough, I won't calculate any further. If I do, this old body of mine might fall apart, but Xu Hao is definitely a significant benefactor."
While speaking, her expression was sowhat unusual, as though she were enduring imnse pain.
In reality, it was because her lifespan was decreasing!
In ancient tis, emperors had Fortune Tellers by their side.
Most ordinary fortune-tellers were frauds.
But there were indeed genuine fortune-tellers, such as the Ice Palace Supre Elder.
However, what she calculated was typically the fate of a person or two, deciphering their destinies, as long as the fate wasn't too powerful, she had no concerns, and her lifespan wasn't affected.
But when she analyzed soone with an extraordinarily strong fate, her lifespan started to dwindle.
Thus, upon calculating Xu Hao's fate, she imdiately stopped.
The Ice Palace, surrounded by formidable foes, still needs her, a supre powerhouse at the level of Half step Martial Sovereign, to sustain it. She dares not risk any mishap.
