Jiang Xuelan’s voice was soft, but every word was clear: “Bei Mingyuan’s remnant soul is in you. You are the only person in this world who has a deep connection with the Ice God bloodline. If you don’t help me, the Ice God bloodline will be completely wiped out.”
David frowned: “How can I help you? I am not a member of the God Clan.”
“You have the bloodline of the Ice God within you.”
Jiang Xuelan looked into his eyes, “After our dual cultivation, the power of the Ice God bloodline has merged into your chaos power. If you want, you can use this power to awaken more people who have the latent genes of the Ice God bloodline and let them revive.”
David was silent for a moment.
“What do you mean by ‘awaken’?”
Jiang Xuelan took out a piece of ice blue jade cloth from her sleeve and handed it to the man.
“This is the Ice God bloodline detection technique. After cultivating it, you can detect everyone within a ten thousand mile radius who has the Ice God bloodline latent gene.”
These people were scattered throughout the Celestial Realm, unaware that the Ice God’s blood flowed within them. If you find them and activate their bloodline with the power of chaos, they can revive.
David took the jade scroll but did not immediately examine it.
“Even if I find these people and wake them up, so what?”
“The Ice God bloodline experienced a setback not because of a lack of talent, but because it was targeted by other races within the God Clan. Now that the God Clan is led by the God Emperor’s lineage, are they going to sit idly by and watch as the Ice God bloodline rises again?” David asked.
Jiang Xuelan’s expression changed slightly.
David is right.
The decline of the Ice God’s bloodline seemed to be caused by the dilution and degeneration of her bloodline, but the fundamental reason was the struggle for power within the God race.
Long ago, a female cultivator of the Ice God’s lineage eloped with an outsider, breaking the unshakable laws of the gods. The Emperor God lineage seized the opportunity to unite with other races to suppress the Ice God bloodline for thousands of years.
The Masters were killed, resources were cut off, and their legacies were destroyed. This was how the Ice God bloodline gradually moved towards its destruction.
Currently, the God Emperor lineage had ruled the God race for tens of thousands of years, and its power was deeply rooted.
Even if David helped him awaken more Ice God bloodline powerhouses, as long as the God Emperor bloodline still existed, the Ice God bloodline would never be able to triumph.
“I know,” Jiang Xuelan’s voice lowered, “but I don’t care.”
David looked at him.
“The glory of the Ice God bloodline cannot be recreated by hiding.”
Jiang Xuelan’s gaze hardened, even becoming somewhat stubborn. “If the Divine Emperor lineage tries to stop us, then we will destroy the Divine Emperor lineage. If the Divine Race alliance system targets the Ice God bloodline, then we will cause the system to collapse.”
David gasped.
“You know what you’re saying? Destroying the God Emperor’s lineage? Destroying the God Alliance system? This is the same as starting a war with the entire God Race.”
“I know.”
Jiang Xuelan’s tone was calm yet frightening, “I have waited for many years, and will not continue to wait. David, you have the remnant soul of Bei Mingyuan in you, and the power of the Ice God’s bloodline flows in your veins. You are part of this problem. You cannot just stand idly by.”
David was silent for a long time.
He recalled how Jiang Xuelan knelt before him, and the vulnerability in her eyes when she said, “The Ice God bloodline cannot be severed in my hands.”
He remembered how she risked her life to protect him on the ancient battlefield, and how relieved she had been when he gave him the Heart of the Northern Underworld.
This woman has sacrificed too much for her race.
“What are you going to do?” David asked.
Jiang Xuelan’s eyes lit up.
“I’ll come with you.”
David was surprised: “Come with me?”
“You go back to Yunxian City, I will go with you.”
Jiang Xuelan said, “Didn’t you say Yunxian City is facing a threat from the Demon Clan? I will help you defend this city. In return, you help me find individuals who have awakened to the Ice God bloodline in the various heavens of the divine realm.”
“What about the temple?”
Jiang Xuelan glanced at the Tree of Life behind her, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
“The Divine Palace exists to protect the last remnant of the Ice God’s bloodline. Now that the remnant is within me, the Divine Palace is no longer necessary.”
He turned around, facing the direction of the temple, and raised his right hand.
Ice-blue divine light radiated from his palm, turning into countless strands of light that reached every palace and every stone chamber in the divine palace.
As the light threads touched the building, everything inside—books, pills, magical artifacts, and spiritual stones—was swept up by the light threads, turning into streams of light that disappeared into Jiang Xuelan’s sleeves.
In the blink of an eye, the entire palace was completely empty, leaving only the empty stone walls and the Tree of Life.
