Handshakes aside, the human before her claimed she was his future companion?
What was going on?
Snow Empress looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion. Seeing only sincerity on his face, with no trace of deceit, she grew even more puzzled.
"Human, what exactly are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
What companion?
"Snow Empress, our fates are intertwined. We rise and fall together. We were born to be companions. Can't you, with your power, see the threads of fate?"
Huo Yuhao asked with a hint of "confusion," his eyes carrying a trace of doubt, as if he had encountered something unbelievable.
Snow Empress was utterly baffled. If she could see through fate, would she still be just a spirit beast?
What intertwined fates? What companion?
Her mind was buzzing, filled with confusion and disbelief.
"I... I..."
Well, she truly couldn't see through fate.
Could it be that this human child could see through fate?
That was impossible. She must be being deceived!
"Are you mocking me?"
Snow Empress asked with a hint of anger. Finally meeting two humans who weren't detestable, only to find they had ulterior motives.
"Uh..."
Huo Yuhao spread his hands helplessly. "Snow Empress, we really are destined companions. This..."
"Forget it. Let the World Consciousness explain it to you. I'm too lazy to go into detail."
"After hearing her words, if you're willing to be my companion, then so be it. If not, we'll just leave."
"At most, I'll just change my ice attribute to water and go find the Sea Princess instead."
Snow Empress: "???"
Before Snow Empress could react, she felt a blur before her eyes and found herself in a golden space.
The World Consciousness was completely unprepared for Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress's arrival!
She looked at them with confusion.
For Huo Yuhao, she was immensely grateful. Without this Child of Fortune, she might have been completely devoured within a few decades.
Even if Huo Yuhao wanted to become the World Lord, she would willingly hand over her authority.
"Child of Fortune, you've come!"
The World Consciousness said with delight, paying no attention to Snow Empress.
Huo Yuhao was her "white moonlight"!
Snow Empress looked at the World Consciousness and then at the surrounding space, feeling her scalp tingle.
In all her years of existence, today was the most bizarre day!
Child of Fortune?
"Greetings, World Consciousness."
"Tell me, are Snow Empress and I destined companions?"
"With her power, she can't even see through fate. It's really..."
After saying this, Huo Yuhao glanced sideways at Snow Empress.
In Huo Yuhao's eyes, Snow Empress seemed to detect a hint of disdain!
"Uh..."
The World Consciousness was stunned, looking at Huo Yuhao in confusion.
He was already so powerful. Did he still need the help of the Ice Snow Empress?
There must be a deeper meaning to his actions.
The World Consciousness nodded. "The Ice Silkworm, the Snow Empress, the Ice Jade Scorpion Empress, the Octagonal Ice Crystal Grass, the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai, and others are indeed your destined companions."
"But... fate is not unchangeable. With your current strength, they are somewhat dispensable."
Snow Empress: "???"
With her nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, Snow Empress could naturally see that the "person" before her was extraordinary.
But she couldn't accept it right away!
What destined companions?
And, fate is not unchangeable?
With Huo Yuhao's current strength, were they dispensable?
This, Snow Empress found even harder to accept!
But she had no choice but to accept it!
Huo Yuhao could bring her here in an instant, and he could just as easily kill her in an instant!
Even though Snow Empress was extremely reluctant to admit this...
Huo Yuhao scratched his head, appearing somewhat "shy" as he said, "When one person achieves enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
"I thought, since they were supposed to be my companions, I'd help them become gods and let them obtain the opportunities they deserve."
"But Snow Empress is the strongest among them, yet she can't see this. It's a bit disappointing."
"If even Snow Empress can't see it, then trying to convince the others would probably be a waste of breath..."
Hearing this, the World Consciousness was deeply moved. What a wonderful Child of Fortune!
Look, this was the person she had chosen, the one she had invested in!
When one person achieves enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
By helping the Child of Fortune, she might even grow into a more powerful existence!
Thinking this, the World Consciousness's already resolute eyes became even more determined.
"There are still many unknown spirit beasts on the Douluo Continent. If you need their help, I can tell you their locations."
"Fate is not unchangeable. If the Ice Snow Empress is unwilling to form a contract with you, you can simply replace her."
The World Consciousness's calm words made Snow Empress, who was already cold-hearted, feel half her heart turn to ice.
Help companions become gods?
If she couldn't see through fate, was it her fault?
Who would immediately believe something as absurd as Huo Yuhao showing up and claiming to be her future companion?
But Huo Yuhao had brought along the heavens!
The World Consciousness of the Douluo star was essentially the heavens of this world.
Though, this "heaven" wasn't an old man but a beautiful woman.
For the World Consciousness, it didn't matter who became Huo Yuhao's companion, as long as it helped grow the world's essence, it was all the same.
All living beings on the Douluo star were her children in the eyes of the World Consciousness. She was happy for any child who succeeded.
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao waved his hand. "I still think the original companions are better. Since it's destiny, I'm willing to believe in fate."
"If... if they really aren't willing, then let it be."
"Truly the Child of Fortune, always so loyal and righteous!"
"I must thank you for choosing me among the vast sea of people!"
"Not exactly. When a person of great fortune is born, they naturally attract the attention of fate. It has nothing to do with my subjective thoughts."
"I can influence fate to some extent, but I can't control it completely."
"The Child of Fortune's achievements today are all due to your own efforts and hard work!"
"Hehe, without your guidance and support, no matter how hard I tried, I'd just be another struggling soul in the vast sea of people. I still need to thank you properly!"
"Not at all, not at all. I only provided a little insignificant help..."
Watching the two of them flatter each other, Snow Empress felt her worldview shatter!
Was this the Child of Fortune and the World Consciousness?
They... seemed completely off!
"Snow Empress now knows the guidance of fate. We won't disturb you further. World Consciousness, farewell!"
"Alright, Child of Fortune, feel free to visit often. It gets quite lonely here by myself!"
Snow Empress: "..."
