The night was deep and dark. Shen Han Yu leaned against an ancient tree nearby, his eyes calm as he watched Ye Lingling absorb the spirit ring.
In his spiritual world, Tianmeng and the others were diligently transforming the environment.
The originally endless green grassland had a portion already covered in ice and snow. Various palaces rose from the ground, and on the throne at the very top, Tianmeng lay comfortably enjoying a sunbath. His crystalline body seemed to have become a bit fuller.
Accompanied by a crisp sound, before Tianmeng could react, an emerald-green scorpion pincer directly sent him flying. After a miserable cry, he landed heavily, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Dead ghost Tianmeng, I've never seen an ice silkworm as lazy as you. Everyone is busy working, but you sneaked off to Slack, and you even dared to try sitting in Xue'er's position. I think you're just asking for a beating..."
The Ice Empress slowly transformed into human form, flexed her wrists, and then looked at Tianmeng with a cold smile.
Tianmeng crawled out from the ruins, coughed dryly twice, and then put on his usual "dead pig not afraid of boiling water" appearance, directly sticking to the Ice Empress.
"Hehe, Ice Ice baby, isn't your brother about to die from exhaustion? I just came over to rest for a bit. How could I be slacking? For a wise and mighty ice silkworm like your brother, that's absolutely impossible..."
The Ice Empress snorted coldly, then looked at Tianmeng, who was clinging to her, and said:
"You just like turning into this form for me to beat, huh? You can obviously transform into a human body now, but you still turn into this every day. You deserve to be disciplined..."
Tianmeng chuckled, completely unconcerned about the Ice Empress's tsundere attitude, and said affectionately:
"It's fine. Your brother has thick skin and tough flesh; it doesn't hurt at all. Ice Ice, if you still want to vent, you can beat your brother again. I guarantee I won't make a sound..."
A trace of softness appeared in the Ice Empress's eyes, but it was quickly covered by ice-coldness again. She snorted once more, only to discover that her voice had somehow gained a hint of delight. Frightened, she immediately pinched Tianmeng hard again.
Although their relationship over the past few years had shown no apparent progress on the surface, both sides knew deep down that once one side made a concession, it basically signaled the outcome. In this regard, the two of them were quite peculiar.
Tianmeng no longer clearly expressed his feelings, and although the Ice Empress was silently changing, she still maintained her arrogant and tsundere appearance on the surface. One wanted to hit, the other wanted to be hit. Even Shen Han Yu couldn't help but praise that the two of them were simply a match made in heaven...
Shuang Ying continued to perform stably as usual. As the one with the strangest relationship with Shen Han Yu, after sacrificing herself to him, she had completely entered a state of slacking off, either sleeping or in deep slumber, occasionally bringing along Haixi, that little troublemaker.
Next to this world of ice and snow was a vast lake that had already been transformed. Haixi lounged leisurely on a beach chair, with fruit juice and various drinks placed beside her. Under the sunlight, the whole scene gave off a vacation-like vibe.
Shen Han Yu's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and he couldn't help but smile. So many things had happened over the years, and everyone had more or less changed. By now, many people probably wouldn't even recognize their past selves. Time had still left its traces, but its actions were extremely gentle, so no one had noticed...
...
Just as Shen Han Yu was about to relax a bit, the blood-red sword-shaped mark on his forehead suddenly lit up uncontrollably. Shen Han Yu was slightly stunned. In the next moment, the world before him switched abruptly, and an extremely bloodthirsty aura hit him head-on. It was the previous blood-red world.
The same scene, the same figure. Shen Han Yu seemed somewhat surprised. Looking at the blood-red armored figure not far away, he bowed slightly and said:
"Senior's visit this time is so sudden. Is there something important you need to inform me about..."
The blood-red armored figure moved slightly. Its voice was still mechanical and emotionless, as cold as ice.
"I have come to see you this time for the sake of the divine position..."
"Divine position?"
Shen Han Yu paused slightly, then said in a deep voice:
"Senior, please speak..."
The Asura God King gave Shen Han Yu a meaningful look and then said:
"You gave up the Ice God divine position that was within reach, yet you developed the idea of creating your own divine position..."
"Although the Ice God is only a first-class deity, in the Divine Realm, the Ice God was able to fight the Sea God to a draw without a super divine weapon. Moreover, the Ice God also entered the Divine Realm by creating their own divine position. No matter which aspect, it suits you the most. You should know that after entering the Divine Realm, you will inevitably face exclusion from the other four God Kings. One God King position and one first-class deity position, this is the only way for you to gain a firm foothold..."
Shen Han Yu smiled lightly and then said:
"You also mentioned that the Ice God is only a first-class divine position. Although it matches my attributes very well, it is ultimately not one I created myself. Although I have some confidence in breaking through the limits of the divine position, I still feel that if I create a divine position completely derived from myself, it will truly be suitable for me and have unlimited possibilities to break through the limits..."
"I don't think you came here to make me reclaim the Ice God's divine position. You understand the situation in the Divine Realm better than I do, and you know even better how important a supreme powerhouse is. Under such circumstances, I don't think the idea of creating my own divine position is reckless. On the contrary, I'm doing this all for the future of the Divine Realm..."
The last sentence was said against Shen Han Yu's true feelings. He had never cared about the Divine Realm or anything like that. What he cared about was only himself and the people around him. Everything else could be a stepping stone for him to achieve his goals.
A trace of an arc seemed to appear at the corner of the Asura God's lips. He then said indifferently:
"I quite like clever juniors like you..."
"Creating one's own divine position is indeed an important test for geniuses. The Ice God and the Sea God are existences who stood out from it. They both share a common feature: they are generally stronger than gods of the same level who inherited divine positions. Even their upper limits are not locked in a certain sense, and they still have the possibility of advancing to higher levels in the future..."
"Although I have said this, creating one's own divine position has always been an extremely difficult matter. The Ice God comprehended the way of ice and snow in endless pain for hundreds of years before gaining elemental recognition and creating the Ice God divine position..."
"The Sea God conquered the entire ocean before becoming a god, defeating all powerful enemies in the ocean and obtaining the power of faith from the myriad ocean races, which allowed him to condense the Sea God's divine position..."
"From the paths they walked, the difficulty of creating one's own divine position is far greater than inheriting one. Whether it is comprehending the way or proving the way through faith, both require a long time. I am very curious about your choice..."
Shen Han Yu nodded, but then added:
"The paths to godhood taken by the Ice God and the Sea God have given me quite a bit of inspiration. There are infinite possibilities on the path to becoming a god. Whether it is the Ice God or the Sea God, I cannot retrace their paths to godhood, because their methods are ultimately not suitable for me..."
The Asura God moved slightly and then said:
"Tell me your thoughts. In this regard, I may be able to give you some suggestions..."
Shen Han Yu pondered for a moment and then said:
"When a human's strength reaches the limit set by the plane, they will be suppressed by the plane and unable to enter a higher level. However, I carry most of the luck of this era's plane. Although the plane has not clearly acknowledged my identity as the Child of the Plane, it has already granted me the corresponding privileges..."
"My soul power cultivation has already reached the peak. At least in terms of basic conditions, I already meet the qualifications to condense a divine position. I am waiting for a suitable opportunity. At the moment when the continent's luck is drawn, I will integrate all this luck into the divine position I have already cast halfway. Let the luck draw in higher-level things to become the force for casting my divine position. In other words, if I can truly take this step, to a certain extent, I will be able to control fate..."
Upon hearing this, the Asura God King fell into silence. After a moment, he seemed to chuckle lightly and then said:
"You want me to take action, to cut off the connection between the Douluo Plane and the Divine Realm at the moment someone else becomes a god, and to suppress the plane's core, allowing you to use luck as the core to steal fate. What an astonishing idea. But you cannot bear the power of fate. Luck and fate can be said to be of the same kind. Even if you already possess a divine body, the power of these two is beyond your imagination. Even I must treat them with caution..."
Shen Han Yu smiled and shook his head, saying:
"I cannot bear the true power of luck and fate, but there are other existences that can. As long as the power of fate can be assimilated, whether human or soul beast, as long as there is a container capable of accommodating this power of fate, there will definitely be a turning point..."
The Asura God King's expression changed, and then it was as if he suddenly remembered something.
"To bear fate, one would need to rely on the fate attribute... You intend to use the Three-Eyed Golden Lion of the soul beast clan to bear the power of fate, then extract and refine it from the energy it absorbs, and finally use pure fate energy to cast the blank part of the divine position..."
"I have to say, your idea is quite crazy. While thinking this, you should also have realized that the consequences of failure are something you cannot bear..."
The Asura God King's tone was heavy. Shen Han Yu was a junior he valued, the most suitable successor to the Asura God position in his eyes, and the key leader he saw for the Divine Realm to grow stronger. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely step in to stop such a dangerous act immediately...
But in the process, he couldn't help but be shocked by Shen Han Yu's idea.
If a god who controlled the power of fate really appeared, no matter what level that divine position was, or rather, just the existence of fate itself would be enough to make everyone fearful...
Under these contradictory thoughts, for a moment, even an old monster like the Asura God King, who had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, didn't know how to choose.
Shen Han Yu only smiled upon seeing this and was not surprised. Since he could come up with such a desperate method, he naturally had his own unique confidence.
After a moment of silence, the Asura God King finally spoke:
"I will return to the Divine Realm and discuss the matter you mentioned thoroughly with the Sea God. Neither the Douluo Plane nor fate is something that can be explained in a few words. Afterward, I will come to see you again. Additionally, I must remind you of one thing: the divine examination bestowed by the Rakshasa God has entered the final two stages. You... take care of yourself."
The Asura God's emotionless voice fell. Then Shen Han Yu felt a wave of dizziness. The sounds of insects chirping around him made him suddenly wake up. Everything just now seemed like a dream.
He raised his head and found that Ye Lingling was blinking her large eyes at him. Seeing that Shen Han Yu seemed to have woken up, a smile appeared at the corner of Ye Lingling's lips as she said:
"Are you very tired? If you're tired, let's go back and rest properly..."
Shen Han Yu nodded at Ye Lingling's forehead and then shook his head.
"How long has it been since you finished absorbing the spirit ring? Why didn't you wake me up directly..."
Ye Lingling pouted and then said:
"I saw that your state was quite strange, so I thought you might have something to deal with and didn't disturb you. I also just finished absorbing the spirit ring not long ago, at most the time for an incense stick to burn..."
Shen Han Yu found it somewhat amusing but still said:
"There was indeed a major matter just now, but it has mostly been handled now. Let's go. If there's nothing else, we'll take another trip back to Element City and then head back to Sea God Island..."
Ye Lingling nodded thoughtfully but didn't ask any more questions. She knew that she couldn't help much with what Shen Han Yu was facing right now. The only thing she could do was probably cultivate well and see if she could help him in the future...
...
After discussing some matters with Di Tian, Shen Han Yu took Ye Lingling and left the Star Dou Great Forest, then headed all the way toward Element City.
Unlike the raging flames of war in the south of the continent, the north was still relatively peaceful. Each city maintained its previous appearance, but the obviously increased number of soldiers at the city gates showed that although the flames of war had not clearly affected this side, they had still subtly caused an impact.
However, Element City showed no changes. It was still bustling and lively, and the various facilities and even the layout within the city had undergone quite a bit of transformation. From above, it looked even cleaner and more magnificent.
The number of soul masters and powerhouses in the city had also increased significantly. Carriages coming and going on some main roads even appeared somewhat congested. It was evident that Element City's development was still extremely good.
The Skywater Academy, located in the center of the city, was still lively. Shen Han Yu took Ye Lingling and went straight into the academy, then landed in front of the palace-like teachers' office building.
Shui Ningbing, who was leisurely sipping tea on the rooftop, suddenly sensed the familiar aura. The fragrant tea that had just entered her mouth was sprayed out. After reacting, she hurriedly opened the door to her office. As soon as she opened it, she saw Shen Han Yu and Ye Lingling.
"Little Yu, Little Yezi, why have you come back..."
Shui Ningbing was somewhat excited. She stepped forward and grabbed the arms of the two, then pulled them both into her office.
Once seated, Shui Ningbing looked at Shen Han Yu with full anticipation and asked:
"Where are Bing'er and Yue'er? Did they come back with you? They've been away for so long. This aunt, who also acts as their mother, misses them to death. If they don't come back soon, I'll be worn out by the daily work..."
