Upon hearing the term "Beast God" from the Titan Snow Demon King, Snow Emperor couldn't help but sneer.
A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes as she thought to herself, "Beast God? What's that supposed to be? Even the Beast God of the Star Dou Forest, Emperor Tian, was subdued by my father and became our roommate."
Snow Emperor released her grip on the Titan Snow Demon King's ear and said, "There are always greater beings beyond, and heavens beyond the sky. The Beast God is not as esteemed as you imagine."
"I do not need the title of Beast God. I am the Snow Goddess in my own right!"
As the daughter of Shui Wuya, she felt it was only natural for her to be called the Snow Goddess.
Upon hearing the authoritative tone of Snow Emperor, the Titan Snow Demon King shuddered.
It immediately knelt down, respectfully saying, "I greet you, Snow Goddess!"
Snow Emperor then stood at the center of the Valley of the Gods, looking into the distance with an air of noble pride. Her body was ablaze with the power of belief, as if the entire extreme north was bowing to her.
"Father, wait for me. I will not disappoint your expectations and will return home soon."
*Shui Family Residence*
In the study, Shui Wuya sat at his desk, surrounded by various materials for making soul-guided devices.
These days had become too idle; he had grown tired of playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
So he immersed himself back into his old craft.
He concentrated on using his soul power to meticulously carve every detail, causing these devices to gradually emit a vibrant and mysterious glow.
In a corner of the study, Yu Qingluan entered quietly and, seeing Shui Wuya busy, respectfully announced, "Master, Shui Jiner has come to see you."
Shui Wuya looked up, wondering what this girl wanted.
Shui Jiner was a transformed beast from the Star Dou Forest, much like Xiao Xue.
She had been cultivating with the Shui family for five years now, and Shui Wuya almost forgot that he had such a person under his command.
He waved his hand, signaling Yu Qingluan to let Shui Jiner in.
Shui Jiner entered the study, her demeanor still charming and graceful, her hair like clouds and her gaze clear yet filled with a hint of reverence.
She performed an elegant bow and said, "Greetings, Master."
Seeing Shui Jiner, Shui Wuya was momentarily taken aback, realizing she had already reached level 90.
He privately marveled at Shui Jiner's rapid advancement in cultivation.
"Shui Jiner, you have been progressing well."
Shui Wuya offered a smile of approval.
"Thank you for your praise, Master!"
Hearing Shui Wuya's compliment, Shui Jiner felt an immense sense of pride.
Her efforts had not been in vain.
"Master, I..."
Shui Jiner then attempted to explain why she had come, but Shui Wuya interrupted her.
"You are here because you cannot condense your ninth soul ring, aren't you?"
Shui Jiner was taken aback, surprised that Shui Wuya knew so much about her situation.
She had thought that Shui Wuya, being so busy, had long forgotten about her.
It seemed she was mistaken.
"Master, what should I do?" Shui Jiner asked respectfully, touched. "Please guide me."
Shui Wuya looked at Shui Jiner's sincere eyes and calmly sat down.
With a serene expression, he said, "When soul beasts transform, breaking through requires condensing the soul ring by oneself, which is essentially a release of one's own power.
Theoretically, only soul beasts of a hundred thousand years can transform, their energy sufficient to condense the ninth soul ring."
"You are unable to condense your ninth soul ring because you transformed prematurely, and thus your internal energy is insufficient," Shui Wuya said.
Shui Jiner was bewildered by this revelation. "So what should I do?"
Shui Wuya casually extended his hand, signaling Shui Jiner to place her palm in his.
Confused, Shui Jiner extended her hand, only to feel Shui Wuya's palm press against the back of her hand. A warm and mysterious force flowed into her.
Under Shui Wuya's guidance, Shui Jiner's consciousness gradually merged with an ancient and sacred ambiance.
She felt the source of the power of belief, an indescribable force surging from within her, as if countless threads were rooted deeply in her heart.
Shui Wuya said, "I have granted you the method to refine belief. As a fate beast from the Star Dou Forest, go to the Star Dou Forest and refine the belief there! With sufficient belief, you can condense the divine soul ring, and even attain the Beast God's divine position!"
Shui Jiner's eyes sparkled with surprise and excitement.
"Me? Can I really do it?"
"Since you have transformed into a human, you now have the potential to become a deity. As a fate beast, you have a significant advantage. Don't waste it."
Shui Jiner's face lit up with excitement, as if she had glimpsed endless possibilities in her cultivation.
"Thank you, Master, for bestowing me with such a supreme method. Jiner will forever remember your great kindness and remain loyal to the Shui family!"
She answered excitedly.
She was aware of Snow Emperor's situation but had not expected to receive such an opportunity herself.
"I will go to the Star Dou Forest right away to gather belief for the Master."
"Not so fast."
Shui Wuya then softly murmured, awakening the soul spirit within him.
Before him, a massive and majestic soul beast gradually emerged—Emperor Tian.
Emperor Tian stepped forward, his body as imposing as a mountain, his eyes sharp and vigilant.
He bowed slightly to Shui Wuya and spoke in a deep and authoritative voice, "What are your orders, Master?"
Shui Wuya pointed to Shui Jiner, who stood to the side, and said calmly, "Take her to the Star Dou Forest and assist her in becoming a Beast God to the best of your ability."
Emperor Tian was momentarily taken aback, his heart filled with complex emotions, but he quickly suppressed them.
He solemnly replied, "Understood."
Shui Wuya added, "Oh, and take Bi Ji with you. She is familiar with the area, and both of you should assist Shui Jiner as much as possible."
Emperor Tian's eyes showed a glimmer of surprise and excitement.
Returning to the Star Dou Forest with Bi Ji, to revisit old grounds, was a dream come true.
He gratefully nodded, "Thank you, Master. I will do my utmost to complete the task."
"Very well, you may go."
Shui Wuya replied indifferently, returning to his desk to continue working on soul-guided devices.
Following Shui Wuya's instructions, Emperor Tian and Bi Ji set out with Shui Jiner toward the Star Dou Forest.
On the journey, Bi Ji and Emperor Tian were enthusiastic and affectionate, while Shui Jiner followed behind, feeling both grateful and astonished.
She hadn't expected the Shui family master to value her so highly, sending Bi Ji and Emperor Tian to assist in her cultivation.
She vowed to work hard and repay the Shui family's kindness.
As they traveled, they finally arrived at the Star Dou Forest.
Although the core area's soul beasts had been subdued by the Shui family, countless hidden soul beasts still lurked within the vast forest, with various powerful beings lying in wait.
Once Emperor Tian and Bi Ji and other soul beasts departed, the forest's soul beasts became increasingly frenzied and violent, rampaging through the forest unchecked.
