Chapter 41: A Ninety Percent Chance of Becoming a Divinity!? The Tempted Ice Empress
The air within the valley seemed to freeze completely in that instant.
The emerald-green stream of light dissipated.
Appearing before Lin Sheng was a small scorpion, its entire body crystalline like jade, yet its tail hook shimmered with a chilling, cold gleam.
"As expected of the Ice Empress..."
"A scorpion beautiful to the extreme."
Lin Sheng sighed inwardly.
The second of the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North, with three hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, the Ice Empress!
Her pair of emerald-green compound eyes stared fixedly at the golden phantom rising above Lin Sheng's head.
The voice that emerged from her mouth was filled with undisguised disgust and profound confusion: "Tianmeng Iceworm? You meat worm who only knows how to hide here and there, you actually still aren't dead yet?"
"Why has your messy spiritual origin fused with this human brat? And even... you can still maintain such clear intelligence?"
Upon seeing that the Tianmeng Iceworm had actually fused with a human... the Ice Empress's expression was extremely strange.
"What a waste..." The Ice Empress felt regretful inwardly.
"If I had devoured this guy, my strength..."
"Hehe..." The Tianmeng Iceworm's golden phantom twisted in mid-air, though it still felt some instinctive shrinking when facing the Ice Empress.
But at the thought of the God Realm's gaze, its confidence instantly surged.
"Hehe, Bingbing, this is what I call living through death!" The Tianmeng Iceworm placed its hands on its hips smugly, if it had a waist.
A golden halo flickered amidst the wind and snow.
"This isn't just a simple sacrifice, but choosing a path to become a Divinity that has never existed before!"
Both Empress Snow and the Ice Empress were stunned.
A path to become a Divinity?!
"I am now a Wisdom spirit ring, an eternal existence that coexists and mutually benefits with this genius youth!"
Beside them, Empress Snow knitted her brows slightly.
Her eyes, deep as icy abysses, scrutinized Lin Sheng repeatedly.
Becoming a Divinity?
These two words, for them who stood at the pinnacle of Spirit Beasts, were both their ultimate dream... and their cruelest curse.
"Becoming a Divinity?" Empress Snow's cold, clear voice broke the clamor of the wind and snow.
"Tianmeng Iceworm, you should know that ever since the Dragon God fell, the path for the Spirit Beast lineage to become a Divinity has long been completely sealed off by the God Realm."
"No matter how we struggle, we ultimately cannot escape the destructive lightning tribulation that occurs every one hundred thousand years. Is your so-called path just you wanting to drag this human to his death with you?"
The Ice Empress also snorted coldly, her tail hook swaying uneasily.
"Just relying on this brat who only has over level forty spirit power?"
"Although his eyes are indeed strange, the realm of a Divinity is not something you can just find anyone to step into."
Even for Empress Snow... she didn't have much confidence in surviving the upcoming great tribulation of heaven and earth.
And from ancient times to the present, over the past ten thousand years... how many people have become a Divinity?!
"What if I said he has already attracted the attention of the God Realm?" The Tianmeng Iceworm spoke with astonishing words.
Its voice was filled with an unprecedented fanaticism.
"What?!" The bodies of both the Ice Empress and Empress Snow trembled in unison.
Even Empress Snow, whose cultivation reached seven hundred thousand years, revealed extreme shock in her eyes at this moment.
"Just a short while ago, some Divinity in the God Realm personally descended a divine sense and took notice of Lin Sheng."
The Tianmeng Iceworm pointed at Lin Sheng's pair of pupils, which were shimmering with red light.
Empress Snow closed her eyes.
A faint consciousness brushed against Lin Sheng's cheek like a gentle breeze.
A moment later, she opened her eyes abruptly.
Her tone was filled with deep sighs and unwillingness.
"As expected... I cannot see through it. Perhaps only the realm of a Divinity is something I cannot see through."
Mentioning the matter of a Divinity, Empress Snow's expression seemed to reveal a hint of sadness.
Proud as she was, facing that uncrossable chasm... even if it meant death, she had to give it a try!
"It is just a pity that fate ultimately favors humans. Our Spirit Beast clan, even if we cultivate to a million years, is ultimately just resources in the eyes of those Divinities."
"Ahem, Empress Snow, Bingbing..." The Tianmeng Iceworm struck while the iron was hot, its worm face full of temptation.
"This is the path I want to show you today! As long as you, like me, become Lin Sheng's Wisdom spirit ring and lodge your souls within his Spirit."
"The moment he truly steps into the God Realm, we will be able to attain eternal life along with him and completely escape that damn great tribulation of heaven and earth!"
The Ice Empress fell silent.
She knew her own situation too well; the next great tribulation was approaching, and she had almost no confidence in surviving it.
"..." The fear of being reduced to ashes in the thunder had tormented her for tens of thousands of years.
"You came back specifically to swindle us, didn't you?" The Ice Empress looked at Lin Sheng suspiciously.
"Or are you saying your goal is just to have us, like you, give ourselves away for free to a human when he reaches a bottleneck later?"
Lin Sheng stood to the side, quietly listening to the Tianmeng Iceworm boasting to the two of them.
His pupils refracted a hint of icy light.
"As my second origin point, the Ice Eye..."
"Can it accommodate an existence similar to a spirit ring?"
Lin Sheng was puzzled; he didn't understand his second origin point well enough.
Although Electrolux said this Ice Eye was similar to a second Spirit, Lin Sheng hadn't tried it yet.
Perhaps, for now, he could only ask Electrolux.
"Senior Electrolux." Lin Sheng asked softly.
Deep within the spiritual sea, Electrolux's aged voice once again gave Lin Sheng the final confidence.
"Child, tell them that although the second origin point cannot present an independent Spirit entity, as the derivative origin of your Sharingan, its carrying capacity is sufficient to absorb spirit rings."
"And this ice-attribute origin point is the place that best suits them."
Lin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
He came back to his senses and spoke to the Ice Empress with a calm expression, without the slightest timidity when facing a powerhouse.
"Although my first Spirit does not currently need a spirit ring."
"But I have opened up an ice-attribute second origin point, the Ice Eye, which can absorb spirit rings just like a Spirit."
"Although it is not a second Spirit in the true sense, their abilities are roughly the same. It will, depending on the quality of the absorbed spirit ring, infinitely enhance the ice-attribute power of my Sharingan."
Lin Sheng gazed at the Ice Empress and Empress Snow.
From Lin Sheng's eloquent manner, the two of them could not hear any falsity.
"..." The Ice Empress was silent.
In reality, she was tempted.
A nearly ninety percent chance of becoming a Divinity—this was worth betting everything to try!
"Ice Empress, if you are willing, not only will you gain eternal life, but your four hundred thousand years of cultivation will also become the cornerstone for me to open up the path to Divinity."
The Tianmeng Iceworm was frantically assisting from the side.
"Bingbing, think about it! I am ninety percent sure!"
"Rather than turning into ashes under that lightning tribulation, why not follow me to see the God Realm and see what that legendary eternity really looks like!"
In the Ice Empress's emerald-green compound eyes, the look of struggle grew increasingly intense.
She looked toward Empress Snow, as if seeking some guidance.
"Xue'er... I..."
Empress Snow stood quietly in the wind and snow, looking at Lin Sheng's pair of pupils interwoven with destruction and extreme cold.
After a long while, she smiled gently.
"Bing'er, this is your choice... I support you."
"I, too, am going to make my choice.
