Chapter 6: This Simulation Isn't Even Human?! Snow Empress Wife!
Wang Li returned home.
It was a thatched hut built with the help of the villagers.
Though small and rundown, it was warm and full of life.
The villagers here had never treated Wang Li as a freak just because he lacked a Martial Soul, nor had they ostracized him for it.
On the contrary, they had taken great care of him.
The small fishing village had only a little over thirty people—effectively just a dozen or so households.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Li took several hundred Gold Soul Coins out of his storage soul tool.
Taking advantage of the falling night, he went door to door.
Each household received Gold Soul Coins from Wang Li, leaving them both surprised and confused.
"Little Wang Li, are you… leaving?"
The old village chief looked at the Gold Soul Coins on the table. There was no greed in his eyes—only confusion.
To ordinary people like them, these Gold Soul Coins were no small sum.
There was no way Wang Li could have saved up this much from fishing alone.
"Village Chief, I'm leaving."
Wang Li nodded. A trace of reluctance flashed through his eyes.
The small fishing village was, in the end, too small.
If he had no Martial Soul or soul power, perhaps he would have stayed here for the rest of his life, living an ordinary existence.
But now, that was no longer possible.
The world was vast—and he wanted to see it.
After a long silence, the old village chief nodded.
"I'm already old. There's nowhere for me to spend this money. Take it with you."
"You'll need it on the road."
"If things don't go well out there, you can always come back. The small fishing village will always be your home."
Wang Li waved his hand and said,
"Aunt Wang, Uncle Zhang, Old Lady Liu—they've all accepted it already. If you don't, won't that make you the odd one out?"
Village Chief: "..."
"Tell them to be careful. A man may be innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
After saying this, Wang Li turned around, ready to leave.
"You understand that principle, yet you still gave us Gold Soul Coins?"
"That's because I don't want to be someone who forgets kindness…"
Wang Li walked out of the village chief's house.
The old village chief's eyelid twitched, but he didn't say anything more.
This kid… always this lively. Even when he's about to leave, he still likes to "joke" around.
After hiding the Gold Soul Coins properly, the village chief stepped out and began going door to door.
Wang Li meant well—but that goodwill couldn't be allowed to turn into trouble.
Back home, Wang Li lay on his bed, staring at the night sky outside the window.
Twenty or so Gold Soul Coins per household really wasn't much—just enough to slightly improve their living conditions.
Giving too much might draw unwanted attention. It really was difficult.
"Before leaving, I'll use this last simulation."
"The next simulation will have to wait until next year."
"Use one simulation opportunity!"
The first two simulations had brought Wang Li substantial gains. As long as he obtained six soul rings, he would become a Soul Emperor—very possibly even a Soul Saint.
[Simulation opportunity used successfully.]
[Initiating the third simulation.]
[Loading Fate Trait: Lone Star of Calamity.]
Wang Li: "..."
He was already too lazy to complain.
Why was it that when drawing Fate traits, he never got something like Child of Destiny or Favored by Fortune?
Instead, every single simulation loaded this Lone Star of Calamity fate!
[You successfully transmigrated. You became an Ice and Snow spirit of the Extreme North.]
"???"
An opening thunderstrike!
This simulation… wasn't even human?!
An ice and snow spirit—wasn't that the same kind of existence as the Snow Empress?!
[You were discovered by the "young" Snow Empress. She brought you back to the Ice God Palace.]
As expected of the ruler of the Extreme North, he was discovered the moment he appeared.
[The Snow Empress adored you. It was her first time seeing a being of her own kind—an ice-and-snow spirit.]
[You were adopted by the Snow Empress. Under her care, you gradually grew stronger.]
[Ten thousand years later…]
[Your age reached fifty thousand years. Against ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, you could handle them with ease.]
[You wandered through the Extreme North, as if inspecting your own territory.]
[Suddenly, you slipped and fell into a cavern…]
"Huh??"
Why does this plot feel so familiar?!
[You discovered a massive amount of Manifold Mysterious Ice Essence. You were stunned!]
[You immediately called the Snow Empress to share this Manifold Mysterious Ice Essence with her.]
[The Snow Empress… was stunned!]
[You and the Snow Empress began cultivating using the Manifold Mysterious Ice Essence. You took only a hundred years to break through to the hundred-thousand-year level.]
[You did not choose to transform into human form, instead taking the fierce beast path.]
[With so much Manifold Mysterious Ice Essence, you didn't believe you couldn't break through to a million years!]
[Even a useless Ice Silkworm managed to break through. Your talent is the absolute pinnacle—just absorbing half of this Manifold Mysterious Ice Essences gives you the confidence to surpass the Sky Dream Iceworm.]
[You continued absorbing the Manifold Mysterious Ice Essences. Unlike the Sky Dream Iceworm, you did not evade the heavenly tribulation.]
[You faced it head-on and successfully broke through to two hundred thousand years.]
[Like you, the Snow Empress also used the Manifold Mysterious Ice Essence to break through, reaching five hundred thousand years.]
[You continued cultivating, occasionally sparring with the Snow Empress. You mastered the Snow Empress's Three Absolute Skills.]
[Your relationship with the Snow Empress grew increasingly close. You became partners.]
[The stronger the lifeform, the harder it is to produce offspring. You were both extremely powerful—after ten thousand years, you still had no children.]
"???"
Another ten thousand years passed?!
Good grief—soul beasts really live up to their reputation.
Wait—shouldn't the important part be that he ended up together with the Snow Empress?!
[Your age successfully broke through to five hundred thousand years. The Snow Empress's age reached six hundred thousand years.]
[The Snow Empress subconsciously slowed her cultivation speed. She hoped you would become the ruler of the Extreme North.]
[The prerequisite for becoming the ruler was that your age and strength surpassed hers…]
[She is your wife. Though she acknowledges you, the inhabitants of the Extreme North would not recognize a weaker ruler.]
[You were deeply moved. You resolved to work harder and continued cultivating diligently.]
[Thirty thousand years later, your age reached eight hundred thousand years. With the aid of the Manifold Mysterious Ice Essence, the Snow Empress broke through to seven hundred thousand years. You successfully became the ruler of the Extreme North.]
[On this day, a soul master on the continent reached Level 100 and became a god. His divine might spread across heaven and earth. You felt envious, but your determination to become a god only strengthened.]
[Soon after, another soul master broke through the Level 100 barrier at sea and also ascended to godhood.]
"These two should be the Angel God and the Sea God…"
[You met your sister-in-law, the Ice Empress. You found the flat-chested Ice Empress somewhat lacking, making her want nothing more than to bite you.]
[You continued cultivating, endlessly refining the Manifold Mysterious Ice Essence. The supply was nearly exhausted. Relying on your immense strength, you forcibly broke through to nine hundred thousand years!]
[At this point, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was nothing more than a junior in your eyes. Even Di Tian would not be your match within the Extreme North.]
[You left the Extreme North for the first time, heading into the human world in search of resources. You roughly knew where resources were located, so you were not panicked in the slightest.]
[You first arrived at the Sunset Forest…]
