**Chapter 125: The Mysterious Artifact Reappears! The Guardian of the Far North? The Ice God?**
At the same time, within the plane gap, the soul masters present were astonished to see the mysterious artifact that hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly show up on the screen.
Many of them had almost forgotten about its existence. But with its reemergence, they were reminded that Huo Yuhao in the parallel world possessed this enigmatic object.
One by one, they began to discuss it excitedly.
"It's back! That mysterious artifact—I almost forgot about it."
"The situation has diverged significantly from the original timeline."
"If I remember correctly, this artifact has always provided Huo Yuhao a lot of help in the parallel world. Now that it's appearing again, could there be other opportunities in this extreme northern region that Huo Yuhao can exploit?"
"That's incredible! Huo Yuhao in the parallel world is already much stronger than his counterpart in the original timeline. If he manages to obtain the spirit bones and spirit rings of the Ice Emperor like his original self and gets even more opportunities… how powerful will he become afterwards?"
"I can't even fathom it."
The conversations continued with enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, the gods of the God Realm were all focused on the artifact that had appeared on the screen, especially the God of Destruction. He was still trying to decipher who the owner of this artifact was, fueling his curiosity.
"Who is the owner of this artifact? And why has it shown up again? Things are becoming increasingly interesting. I want to see how this unfolds."
He kept his gaze fixed on the screen.
At that moment, on the screen:
[Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gazed in astonishment at the artifact before them.]
[They hadn't expected this object to emerge so suddenly. Knowing Huo Yuhao's deep connection with this artifact, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked, "Yuhao, what should we do next?"]
[Huo Yuhao replied decisively, "Let's observe its movements first."]
[He was mindful of the artifact's significance. Although he still didn't fully understand its true purpose or identity, its past appearances had always aided him greatly.]
[With the artifact in motion, Huo Yuhao wouldn't ignore it this time.]
[He focused on the mysterious object as it floated up, beginning to emit strange black light. As the black light intensified, the artifact shot uncontrollably toward the northwest.]
[Huo Yuhao sensed that the artifact was intelligent; despite its rapid speed, it maintained a pace that allowed him to keep up, ensuring he wouldn't lose track of it.]
[Determined, Huo Yuhao followed closely.]
[After moving forward for a while, they arrived at an unusual location.]
[They found themselves in a vast snowfield, but unlike any other, a mysterious altar—ancient and worn—stood at its center.]
[Having observed a multitude of sights in the Far North, this was the first distinctive structure he encountered amidst the prevailing white expanse, leaving him somewhat taken aback.]
In the plane gap, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was equally stunned.
"So, there is such a place in the Far North? Why did I not know about it until today?"
Having no prior knowledge, he promptly asked the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor residing within Huo Yuhao's body: "Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, do you know about this place?"
The Ice Emperor expressed surprise, replying, "It's peculiar. I haven't been to that location, but the altar looks somewhat familiar."
"Xue'er, do you recognize it?"
The Snow Emperor nodded. "That should be the remains of the Ice God Altar."
The Ice Emperor's brows furrowed slightly. "Ice God Altar? Is that the altar of the Ice God, the legendary guardian of the Far North? Isn't that an artifact of ancient times?"
The Snow Emperor confirmed, "Yes! Even though the Ice God is a legendary figure, it remains the belief of all soul beasts in our Far North. The legend states that the Ice God predated the formation of our Far North, making it the ancestor of all soul beasts in this region."
"Many years ago, the soul beasts in the Far North revered the Ice God, constructing countless altars in its honor. While some soul beasts still believe in it, they primarily belong to the higher ranks. Most young soul beasts are unaware of the Ice God now."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm pondered, "Then why was I left in the dark?"
The Ice Emperor glared at him, clearly annoyed. "What's so strange about you not knowing? What do you really know?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm smiled sheepishly at the remark, then quickly added, "But if that's the case, this altar should be ordinary. There shouldn't be anything special about it, right? Why would that artifact bring Yuhao from the parallel world here?"
The Snow Emperor shook her head as well, confounded by the situation.
Even more puzzling was that Xue Di had traversed every area of the Far North. Yet, she could not recall anything about this area depicted on the screen. Despite trying to remember, she struggled to piece together how Huo Yuhao had arrived there.
While Xue Di and the others were baffled, the God of Destruction had a clearer understanding. He noted a special magic array present in that area moments ago.
Normally, both humans and soul masters would be affected by this array and instinctively circumvent it. However, the mysterious artifact had decisively broken through the magic circle, allowing Huo Yuhao entry.
This revelation piqued the God of Destruction's interest even more.
"It seems substantial divine power still resides within this mysterious artifact. Moreover, it put forth such effort to bring Huo Yuhao from the parallel world here—what could be the reason for it?"
"Ice God, Ice God… it appears that there is no such deity currently in the God Realm. This must be a god whose throne has been lost outside."
