Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress both began to breathe heavily, as if the air itself had frozen at that moment.
Sacrifice?
Are you sure this isn't sending them to their deaths?
Since ancient times, there has never been a Soul Beast that survived after performing a Sacrifice.
Thinking of this, the Snow Empress parted her cherry lips and asked, "Senior, are you certain you're not joking with us?"
Hearing this, Electrolux let out a cold snort, his voice low and authoritative, "Hmph, with my status, why would I deceive you juniors?"
His words carried an invisible pressure, causing the surrounding air to solidify, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
The Ice Empress leaned closer to the Snow Empress and whispered, "Sister Xue, this old man seems to make a lot of sense."
The Snow Empress's expression darkened, and she sighed softly, her voice filled with helplessness, "How could I not know? But he is a God-level powerhouse, capable of achieving immortality of the soul, while we are merely ordinary Soul Beasts."
Hearing this, the Ice Empress also fell silent.
Indeed, how could a god be the same as ordinary Soul Beasts like them?
At that moment, Gu Feng suddenly spoke up, "Old Yi, since they don't believe it, why not just find a Soul Beast to test it out? That way, the truth will be clear."
The Ice Empress's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly, "Great idea! Xue Er, wait here, I'll be back soon."
With that, she turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Gu Feng quickly called out, spreading his hands helplessly, "I haven't reached level 20 yet, so testing it now would be useless."
The Snow Empress pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "In that case, after you reach level 20, come here to find us. This is the territory of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, and I'll have Bing'er's clan keep an eye out for you."
"You just need to tell us what type of Soul Beast you need, and we'll prepare it for you in advance."
The Snow Empress added.
Hearing this, both Gu Feng and Electrolux were stunned.
They hadn't expected such an unexpected boon.
With the ruler of the Far North helping them find a Soul Beast, wouldn't they have everything they needed?
Gu Feng quickly looked at Electrolux, "Old Yi, what do you think of the Millennial Azure Nether Beast?"
Electrolux nodded slightly, his expression approving, "It's excellent, ranked sixth on the rare list of the Soul Beast Compendium. It will undoubtedly be of great help to you."
The Snow Empress thought for a moment and then nodded gently, "Alright, it's settled."
At that moment, a simple century-long agreement was made.
Many years later, when the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, who had become the Ice and Snow Twin Goddesses, recalled the contract they had signed with the black-haired youth under the setting sun, they would always feel a deep sense of honor.
...
Time passed slowly, and the continuous snowfall finally came to a stop.
Gu Feng had once again set out on his journey, his figure gradually fading into the distance under the post-snow sunlight.
The Ice Empress puffed out her cheeks in anger and couldn't help but complain, "That despicable Gu Feng, before leaving, he took all the herbs we painstakingly accumulated!"
"Alright, Bing'er, since he's so confident, giving him some herbs is nothing. Consider it a bet, and perhaps there will be unexpected gains in the future."
The Snow Empress remained calm, her gaze fixed in the direction Gu Feng had left, deep in thought.
After a pause, Snow Empress tilted her head slightly and sighed, "I truly never expected that gods still exist in this world..."
Ice Empress, with a downcast expression, murmured softly, "Then, where has the Ice God of our Far North gone..."
The two exchanged glances, seemingly seeing a trace of sorrow in each other's eyes.
It was as if their long-held beliefs had completely crumbled.
...
Heaven Dou City.
Crown Prince's Residence.
Xue Qinghe sat high on the main seat, his luxurious attire accentuating his noble demeanor. However, his expression was slightly grim, his eyes fixed on Snake Spear Douluo, who knelt on one knee below.
"You're saying that not only did you follow Gu Feng all the way to the Far North, but you also lost track of him in the end?"
Snake Spear Douluo kept his head down, not daring to meet Xue Qinghe's gaze. "Yes, this subordinate is incompetent. I beg for the Young Master's punishment."
Xue Qinghe waved his hand. "Forget it. You may leave. Notify me when Gu Feng arrives in Heaven Dou City."
Snake Spear Douluo, as if granted amnesty, quickly retreated.
Once Snake Spear Douluo's figure disappeared beyond the door, Xue Qinghe slowly stood up. His gaze pierced through the window, looking toward the distant horizon as he muttered to himself, "Interesting... A mere Soul Master, able to easily escape from under the nose of a Titled Douluo? I don't believe it."
"It seems you're hiding some unknown secret. I wonder what it could be..."
"I hope you won't end up becoming my opponent. Otherwise, I might not have the heart to act against you, little brother Gu Feng!"
Suddenly, her eyes darkened, and the smile on her face vanished, replaced by a chilling coldness.
...
A few days later.
A restaurant outside Heaven Dou City.
Gu Feng, while eating his meal, began to quietly plan his next steps.
"By my calculations, Dugu Yan should have already enrolled in Heaven Dou Royal Academy by now, right?"
"Hiss—"
For a moment, Gu Feng couldn't be sure.
After all, the difference between fiction and reality was too vast.
In the novel, Tang San could just write whatever he wanted with his eyes closed, but in reality, Gu Feng had to consider so much more.
"Never mind, I'll just go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and see for myself."
"As long as I can befriend Dugu Yan, I should be able to use that as an opportunity to meet Dugu Bo. Then, with Old Yi's abilities, dealing with a little poison shouldn't be too difficult."
"But how to befriend Dugu Yan? That's something I'll need to carefully plan, especially since her family also has a Titled Douluo..."
With this in mind, Gu Feng began to devour his meal.
After all, only with a full stomach would he have the energy to work.
...
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
This was an academy whose area far exceeded the palaces of some small nations. Its facilities were extremely luxurious, and the students who studied here were either wealthy or noble.
Even the guards at the entrance were at the Soul Grandmaster level.
Gu Feng walked straight into the academy. Relying on the token of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he passed through without any hindrance.
It truly lived up to the saying:
When you're out in the world, what matters is influence and background!
Arriving at the admissions office, Gu Feng saw a long line ahead. After asking someone nearby, he learned that the admissions period hadn't started yet.
But Gu Feng clearly remembered that the Royal Academy's admissions registration time was set at 8 o'clock.
It was already almost 8:30.
Thinking of this, Gu Feng couldn't be bothered to wait.
After all, not using one's privileges would be foolish, wouldn't it?
Gu Feng strode forward without hesitation.
His sudden movement immediately caught everyone's attention, and a wave of whispers erupted behind him.
"Hey, what's with this guy? Isn't it still not the registration time yet?"
"Just wait and see. Teacher Qin Ming won't let him register successfully. Who knows which family's spoiled brat he is, trying to cut in line like this."
"Hehe, this is going to be interesting. You know, Qin Ming is famously strict and impartial. Even Prince Xue Beng couldn't cut in line successfully before."
