In the square, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shui Bing'er's voice was clear and melodious, like a breeze in a world of ice and snow.
"Prince Xue Beng, I am here to bless the Tian Dou Empire and bestow blessings upon your royal family, bringing prosperity to all."
Shui Bing'er's tone was calm and dignified.
Hearing this, Prince Xue Beng was overjoyed and hastily knelt down: "Thank you, Ice God, for your blessings. Your grace will never be forgotten by the Tian Dou Empire."
The tens of thousands of people below were also deeply moved by Shui Bing'er's words, filled with excitement.
How fortunate are we to have the great Ice God herself descend to bless the Tian Dou Empire.
"Truly a merciful and just deity!"
The crowd knelt, watching Shui Bing'er's every move, their hearts filled with reverence.
Shui Bing'er slowly raised her hand, and a faint blue light gathered in her palm, gradually forming an ice scepter.
Her eyes revealed a trace of gentleness and compassion, signifying her protection and blessing over the Tian Dou Empire.
The citizens below were awestruck by Shui Bing'er's miraculous power, and their voices of worship surged like a tidal wave.
"Is that the Ice God's divine artifact?"
"Kneel before the divine scepter!"
The citizens bowed to the scepter, witnessing the Ice God's miraculous power, their reverence growing even deeper.
Shui Bing'er smiled faintly as the ice scepter in her hand emitted a soft, cold glow.
"This scepter is called the Ice Heaven Scepter, symbolizing my blessing to the Tian Dou Empire. I hope it brings happiness and peace to you and the people of the Tian Dou Empire."
"Now, I bestow it upon you!"
Shui Bing'er handed the Ice Heaven Scepter to Prince Xue Beng.
Prince Xue Beng solemnly received the scepter with both hands, his face full of reverence and solemnity: "I will remember the Ice God's teachings and wholeheartedly work for the welfare of the people of the Tian Dou Empire."
Seeing Shui Bing'er so considerate of the people, bestowing blessings upon the royal family and the citizens of the empire, the tens of thousands of people below felt even more reverence for her, bowing and worshipping with utmost devotion.
"The Ice God is truly great; her presence will surely bring us light and hope!"
"The Ice God's blessing is a fortune for the Tian Dou Empire. We should always be grateful for her grace!"
"Her mercy moves me deeply. I am willing to forever be loyal to her and dedicate everything to the Ice God!"
Voices of gratitude and admiration spread throughout the crowd, filling their hearts with reverence and gratitude for the Ice God.
Cheers and praises echoed, like overwhelming waves, filling the entire square.
The power of faith in the Ice God surged like a tsunami!
Feeling the rapid increase in faith, Shui Bing'er looked down at the jubilant crowd, her heart filled with joy and satisfaction.
"No wonder Wuya told me to come at this time. The effect is indeed extraordinary!"
She pondered silently.
Now, her faith power was sufficient to undergo the Ninth Divine Test.
As long as she passed the Ninth Divine Test, she would be one step closer to becoming a deity.
However, the thought of possibly being separated from Shui Wuya after ascending to the God Realm made her hesitate.
Shui Wuya had promised he would quickly ascend to find her, but after spending so much time together, she had grown accustomed to being with him.
Her heart was filled with conflicting emotions, desiring divinity but unwilling to part from Shui Wuya.
After a moment of silent contemplation, Shui Bing'er lifted her head, her eyes gleaming with determination.
She decided that even if it meant temporarily parting from Shui Wuya, she would take this step to pursue divine power.
Only by becoming a deity could she continue to be with Shui Wuya for eternity.
Moreover, this was also Wuya's expectation for her.
Wuya had given so much for her; she could never let him down! Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands, Shui Bing'er slowly ascended, her figure in the sky like a radiant beam, captivating everyone's attention.
"Long live the Ice God! Long live forever!"
As the cheers of the masses echoed, Shui Bing'er gracefully flew towards the sky, her pure white silhouette streaking across the heavens. Even as she departed, the people remained kneeling, their eyes filled with reverence and gratitude, as if trying to convey their respect to the very core of the Ice God's being.
In this grand ceremony, the Ice God became a pillar of faith and reliance for the people of the Tian Dou Empire. They believed that under the Ice God's protection, they would usher in a future filled with peace and prosperity.
Time flew by.
A month passed, and the two empires settled into calm, with spirit masters becoming active across the continent once more.
Several events became topics of heated discussion.
The day after the war, the Spirit Hall revealed that Dai Weisi, the eldest prince of the Starluo Empire, was an undercover agent for the Spirit Hall, shocking the continent. Furious, the Star luo Emperor imprisoned Dai Weisi for life.
On the same day, it was confirmed that the third prince of the Star luo Empire, Dai Mubai, had died in the chaos of the war.
Four days after the war, Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin appeared in the Tian Dou Palace, with Sword Douluo missing an arm! News soon spread that during the conflict with the two empires, the Spirit Hall had simultaneously attacked the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Fortunately, Sword Douluo broke through to rank 97 titled Douluo, saving the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect from destruction.
Five days after the war, it was confirmed that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been annihilated, their territory reduced to ruins, shocking the world. The two empires were immensely grateful for the Ice God's protection.
There were also numerous reports about individual spirit masters.
Ten days after the war, at the entrance of the Lie Academy.
Yu Tianxin defeated Yu Tianheng in a single strike, advancing to the Spirit Emperor level.
The continent's strongest healing spirit master, Ye Lengleng, announced her allegiance to the Shui family, revealing that the mysterious Shui family was indeed the Ice God's kin!
Twelve days after the war, in Spirit City.
Feng Xiaotian from the Godwind Academy challenged and defeated Red-Clothed Archbishop Thars, displaying extraordinary talent that prompted an audience with the Pope, who declared him to have unparalleled potential!
Three days ago, thirty kilometers outside Blaze City in the Barak Kingdom, the sky erupted in flames, burning the horizon.
Eyewitnesses saw Huo Wu from the Blazing Academy emerging from the fire altar, suggesting she had received the inheritance of the Fire God!
Until today...
Amidst the noise and murky air, a tavern in Spirit City buzzed with lively discussions. People gathered to talk about the continent's most notable topics.
Apart from the familiar discussions about the Spirit Hall, the Star luoand Tian Dou Empires, and the almost universally revered Ice God, conversations also began to focus on the recently emerging spirit masters.
"Who do you think is the most powerful among this new generation of spirit masters?"
One participant's question immediately sparked the interest of those nearby.
