Setting aside his thoughts, Shui Wuya quickly organized his thoughts and considered asking about Shui Bing'er's situation.
"A million years ago, what did you go through to become the Ice God?" Shui Wuya was very interested in this.
"Also, what happened in the past? Have you ever faced life-threatening situations? I can tell you to prepare in advance."
Shui Wuya hoped to gather a lot of useful information from this conversation with Shui Bing'er.
If he could learn how Shui Bing'er became the Ice God, then he could inform the past Shui Bing'er and plan ahead.
To become the Ice God faster, to become the Ice God earlier.
All of this would bring about significant changes.
For Shui Bing'er, the benefits were immense, and likewise, Shui Wuya could gain many benefits from this.
However, Shui Bing'er did not respond to Shui Wuya's inquiries.
"Wuya, let go of the past. You just need to tell me about things that haven't changed."
"If something has changed because of you, then let it happen. Don't make a second change."
Shui Wuya fell silent.
From his personal perspective, this didn't align with his interests.
But he knew Shui Bing'er was very cautious and had her own thoughts. He pondered why she acted this way.
If he knew what had happened in the past, he could warn the past Shui Bing'er through foresight, and then change the present...
What could go wrong with that?
Changing things for the better...
As long as I understand what happened in the past...
Happened...
Shui Wuya suddenly realized.
"I understand now, I only need to know what she knows." Here, "she" referred to the current Shui Bing'er, who was still growing and with whom he could converse.
Seeing that Shui Wuya understood her meaning, Shui Bing'er smiled with relief.
"This is perfect then." With that said, Shui Bing'er's figure began to fade slightly.
"It seems this divine thought can only last until here. Well then, goodbye, Shui Wuya." Shui Bing'er bid farewell with a smile, and before Shui Wuya's eyes, she had returned to the cave.
With contemplation, he entered meditation, the youthful face of Shui Bing'er from a million years ago filled with doubt.
"Wuya, what's wrong?" She asked, puzzled. There was a scent of Wuya in the air, though it didn't make much sense.
But she could tell whether Wuya was contacting her or not.
"Uh... I was just about to tell you something."
"Then say it!"
"Well... you'll know later."
Shui Wuya, helpless, retracted his intention to tell her about the matter, leaving Shui Bing'er even more puzzled.
After a long silence, "Okay then."
Shui Bing'er didn't press further, which relieved him.
"Well, Ancestor, you continue to cultivate, I'll go out first."
"Okay!"
Excited, Shui Wuya awakened from meditation, feeling something strange in his hand.
It was the letter!
He opened it, finding only one sentence written on it:
"Now I know! (*￣︿￣)"
Looking at the words on the paper, Shui Wuya couldn't help but imagine Shui Bing'er's infuriated expression, and he couldn't help but laugh.
He packed the letter back and put it in his soul-guiding ring.
With the second martial soul obtained and all objectives accomplished this time, it was time to return to the academy.
Shui Bing'er opened her eyes, but no matter what, she couldn't focus on cultivation.
"Hmph, dare to trick me? Just wait and see how I deal with you in the future!" She pouted angrily, her eyes captivating.

The vacation time at Shrek Academy was neither too long nor too short.
Most students had sufficient holiday time, but a few needed to return to school early.
Like Huo Yuhao.
Originally, the Class One monitor should have been Shui Wuya. However, after the freshmen assessment, Shui Wuya went to the Ice God's Forbidden Land. So, for these eight months, Huo Yuhao had taken over as the class monitor.
Walking through the familiar yet unfamiliar academy, Huo Yuhao felt a myriad of emotions.
If he were to recount his legendary experiences this holiday to others, they probably wouldn't believe him.
Following the plan of the Tianmeng Iceworm, he had encountered the Ice Emperor, second only to the three Supreme Kings of the Extreme North.
Although the plan of the Tianmeng iceworm had failed, there were many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Extreme North.
The Tianmeng Iceworm didn't waste its source power on the Ice Emperor, allowing Huo Yuhao to circle around the outskirts of the core area of the Extreme North.
His spiritual detection helped Huo Yuhao find another suitable target.
Thinking of this, as he walked towards the teaching building, Huo Yuhao called out to the Tianmeng Iceworm in his spiritual space.
"Tianmeng, has he still not woken up?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"When we found him, he was already weak. After becoming your second martial soul, he suffered a great loss of origin power and needs time to recover. He's still sleeping," replied the voice of the Tianmeng Iceworm in Huo Yuhao's mind.
Their conversation partner was the second martial soul chosen by the Tianmeng Iceworm for Huo Yuhao in the Extreme North, the Double-Headed Ice Lizard.
Huo Yuhao's luck was indeed good.
With so many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Extreme North, he happened to encounter one in a weakened state.
The Tianmeng Iceworm didn't know what the Double-Headed Ice Lizard had experienced in the past, nor did it care.
It wasn't a match for the Ice Emperor, but just a hundred-thousand-year-old Double-Headed Ice Lizard. It was still too weak in front of it.
Without exhausting its departure, it easily suppressed the Double-Headed Ice Lizard with its spiritual source.
After some communication, the Double-Headed Ice Lizard was also willing to become Huo Yuhao's second martial soul.
There was no other reason, the Double-Headed Ice Lizard's bloodline contained within itself wasn't much, and it had suffered such serious injuries.
In the future, it would be very difficult to pass the two-hundred-thousand-year hurdle, so it might as well take a chance with Huo Yuhao.
More likely, it was also forced by the Tianmeng Iceworm.
With the second martial soul confirmed as the Double-Headed Ice Lizard, because of the integration of the Tianmeng Iceworm's inherent ice attribute, the Double-Headed Ice Lizard's original ice attribute also received a boost, already close to the ultimate ice.
Although it wasn't as good as the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the current Double-Headed Ice Lizard could still be considered a top-tier beast martial soul.
The first soul ring was a hundred thousand years old, and Huo Yuhao could still be considered the continent's number one genius. That's how the Tianmeng Iceworm felt.
As for Huo Yuhao's second soul ring of the first martial soul, according to the Tianmeng Iceworm's plan, he had chosen his own kind, with the soul skill being simulation.
While conversing with the Tianmeng Iceworm in his spiritual space, Huo Yuhao recounted some of the people and events he had encountered on his way back. Unknowingly, he had already arrived at the edge of the Sea God's Lake.
Further ahead was Shrek Square, followed by the teaching building.
"Huh, what's that?" A purple light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and his gaze fell upon the Sea God's Lake.
His Purple Demon Eyes' cultivation had also been continuously improving during this time.
Even from a distance, he could see a fiery red figure galloping on the Sea God's Lake.
