Gu Feng was secretly surprised. Was the Snow Empress always this decisive and efficient?
"Of course, but I'll need to borrow your Soul Power to extract its medicinal essence and then transfer it into this Soul Guidance Ring," Gu Feng said to the Snow Empress with a serious expression.
Hearing this, the Snow Empress didn't ask further questions. She immediately grasped the Ice Heart Grass, and her Soul Power surged violently around her.
In an instant, a powerful aura spread outward from her, revealing her terrifying cultivation level of seven hundred thousand years. The vast Soul Power instantly enveloped and crushed the Ice Heart Grass.
The Snow Empress focused intently, meticulously separating the medicinal essence bit by bit before carefully transferring it into the Soul Guidance Ring.
Not long after, a gray light suddenly flashed within the Soul Guidance Ring.
Then, a low and aged sigh echoed softly.
Following that, a voice filled with authority and dominance reverberated through the heavens and earth: "Hahaha… Holding the sun and moon, plucking the stars—there is no one like me in this world!"
"Little Fengzi, well done. I didn't expect you to find a soul-nourishing herb for me so soon after I fell asleep," Electrolux's voice carried a hint of satisfaction.
Hearing this, the Snow Empress slightly furrowed her delicate brows but didn't say anything.
The Ice Empress, however, was not pleased. She was naturally impatient and immediately placed her hands on her hips, saying discontentedly, "Hey! It was Snow Sister who found the herb and transferred the medicinal essence for you. Don't get it wrong!"
Electrolux, hearing that there seemed to be others outside, couldn't help but feel surprised.
In the next moment, his soul slowly floated out of the Soul Guidance Ring.
Compared to his previous state, which relied on that small piece of Gold of Life to sustain him, the effects of this hundred-year-old Ice Heart Grass were remarkable. His soul had now stabilized.
At least for a short period, as long as he didn't overuse his Undead Power, there wouldn't be any issues.
Soon, a gray-haired old man appeared before the three of them.
Electrolux was clad in a black robe, exuding a mysterious aura. His deep eyes seemed to pierce through endless time, as if he could see through them all with a single glance.
Seeing Electrolux, Gu Feng's face lit up with joy, and he immediately bowed slightly with respect. "Old Yi, you've finally awakened."
"Mm," Electrolux nodded slightly, then glanced at the Snow Empress and Ice Empress beside him, instantly understanding the situation.
Electrolux nodded again, acknowledging the Snow Empress and Ice Empress. His voice, though hoarse with age, was still gentle. "Thank you both for your assistance. If you need anything, feel free to ask."
Hearing this, both the Snow Empress and Ice Empress were pleasantly surprised. They hadn't expected this mysterious powerhouse to be so approachable.
They had thought it would take more effort to persuade him.
The Snow Empress stepped forward and said respectfully, "Senior Yi, to be honest, both Ice and I are Soul Beasts from the Far North. In ten thousand years, I will face my seven hundred thousand year Heavenly Tribulation. To be frank, I'm not confident I can survive it."
"We've heard that you were once a God-level powerhouse. We would like to ask for your help in overcoming this tribulation."
Electrolux slowly raised his hand, stroking his chin as he fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness. "I've studied the cultivation system of Soul Beasts before, but I must admit, I currently have no solution for this Heavenly Tribulation."
He paused briefly, organizing his thoughts, then continued, "I come from the Holy Demon Continent. There, in the process of cultivating magical beasts, there is no such hurdle as the Heavenly Tribulation."
"So, I suspect that perhaps in your world, there is an extremely powerful being who deliberately set this Heavenly Tribulation for your Soul Beast race. Moreover, as your cultivation increases, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation becomes more terrifying each time."
"This has led to the situation where, no matter how hard you strive in your cultivation, you are always unable to break through the shackles of the Soul Beasts."
Hearing this, the faces of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress turned pale, their hearts filled with despair.
If it were true that some powerful being had specifically set this insurmountable Heavenly Tribulation for the Soul Beast race, just how powerful would that being have to be?
A God?
Or perhaps, a terrifying existence even more powerful than the legendary Gods?
Then, what would be the meaning of their diligent cultivation?
Gu Feng suddenly had an idea and quickly spoke up to remind, "Old Yi, it's not entirely without a solution. I remember you possess an Undead Demiplane, right? It might come in handy."
"Undead Demiplane?" The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, upon hearing this unfamiliar term, couldn't help but exchange puzzled looks.
They glanced at each other, seemingly trying to guess what this so-called Undead Demiplane could be.
Electrolux, being extremely wise, instantly understood Gu Feng's intention upon hearing his words. He gently shook his head and said with a serious expression, "Although the Undead Demiplane belongs to a different space, existing outside the conventional world, I am not entirely sure if it can evade the Heavenly Tribulation."
"I have not witnessed your Soul Beast Heavenly Tribulation, but if its power is too overwhelming, it could potentially cause the entire Undead Demiplane to collapse. In that case, all our efforts would be in vain."
"Unless..." Electrolux's tone shifted, "we can upgrade this space once again, turning it into a true small-dimensional world. Only then might it have enough power and stability to help the Soul Beasts evade the Heavenly Tribulation."
Hearing this, the eyes of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, which had been dim, suddenly lit up, and their faces showed signs of joy.
If there was even a glimmer of hope, who would be willing to sit idly by and await death?
The Snow Empress, imitating Gu Feng's earlier gesture, gracefully bowed slightly and said, "If Elder Yi is willing to assist us, we are willing to pay any price. Although the Far North has limited resources, we will do our utmost to meet any of your needs."
The Ice Empress, who was always straightforward, seeing the Snow Empress's gesture, quickly added, "I feel the same!"
Electrolux gently stroked his chin, his brow furrowed as he fell into a brief contemplation, then slowly spoke, "Actually, we don't necessarily have to rely on the Undead Demiplane. To be honest, I have a more secure method that can ensure your safe survival. Would you like to hear it?"
With that, Electrolux's lips curled into a slight smile, and he looked at Gu Feng with a meaningful expression, a hint of cunning hidden in his eyes.
Little Fengzi, I can only help you this much!
Being stared at by Old Yi like this, Gu Feng couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Was the old man thinking of something improper again?
Upon hearing this, Snow Empress and Ice Empress first exchanged a glance, then almost simultaneously spoke, "Please, senior, enlighten us!"
Electrolux raised his hand, extended a finger, and pointed leisurely at Gu Feng, a confident smile gracing his face. "In your world, as far as I know, to become a god, one must at least reach level one hundred."
"With this young man's talent, coupled with my assistance, his future ascension to godhood is almost a certainty. You might consider changing your approach and choosing to sacrifice yourselves to him."
"If you are willing, I can intervene to preserve your souls. In this way, once Gu Feng becomes a god, you too can attain eternal life alongside him."
