At that moment, an astonishing presence emanated from outside the snow hut, drawing Wang Li's attention. To avoid any disturbances later, he decided to first resolve the immediate issue. 

After securing the seed, Wang Li turned and stepped outside. Beyond the hut, aside from Dugu bo and Dugu Yan, he saw three additional figures. 

To the right stood a towering figure, nearly a hundred meters tall, resembling a mountain in its sheer presence. Its entire body was covered in white fur, and its eyes glowed like massive lanterns. This was a Titan Snow Demon, one of the most formidable soul beasts of the Extreme North. However, this one was particularly colossal—it was the Titan Snow Demon King. 

To the left was a much smaller figure, only about 1.5 meters in height. Its entire body shimmered emerald green, as if sculpted from crystal. This was an Ice Jade Scorpion, another powerful soul beast of the Extreme North, yet this one was different from the rest—it was the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. 

In the center stood a figure that resembled a human woman. However, her beauty was breathtaking—long, silvery-white hair cascaded down to her feet, and her sky-blue eyes radiated a sense of ethereal clarity, as if she were the most exquisite creation of the heavens. She possessed a beauty capable of toppling nations, stunning all who beheld her. 

She may have looked human, but she was not. She was a soul beast born from the very essence of the Extreme North, a creature forged by nature and the heavens—the Ice Snow Empress. 

As Wang Li emerged, both Dugu bo and Dugu Yan were overjoyed. 

Dugu bo then spoke in a solemn tone: 

"Xiao Li, I'll hold them off. Take Yan Yan and leave first. These soul beasts are likely over 200,000 years old—each of them is as powerful as a Super Douluo. You two must go now. I'll delay them as long as I can and find a way to regroup with you later." 

Dugu Yan grew anxious. Facing three soul beasts comparable to Super Douluo, yet with only her grandfather to stand against them, she couldn't help but cry out: 

"Grandfather..." 

But Wang Li had no intention of following Dugubo's plan. Even if a fight did break out, the one staying behind to cover their escape should be him—his very essence revolved around immortality and undying resilience. 

Stepping forward, he looked at the two and calmly said: 

"Grandfather, Sister Yan Yan, they haven't attacked us outright, which means there's still room for negotiation. Soul beasts at this level possess intelligence equal to that of humans. Before resorting to battle, we should at least try to communicate." 

With that, he advanced further and addressed the three soul beasts in a loud, clear voice: 

"Honored ones, I presume you are the rulers of the Extreme North. We have completed what we came here to do and will be leaving shortly. We do not wish to disturb you." 

As his words fell, both the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and the Titan Snow Demon King turned their gaze toward the Ice Snow Empress. First, because she was the strongest among them. Second, because her charm transcended species—both the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and the Titan Snow Demon King had once pursued her. 

While the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion had fared slightly better, the Titan Snow Demon King had suffered grievously for his pursuit. He had been beaten so severely that, apart from his head, every bone in his body had been shattered. It had taken him a thousand years to fully recover. 

Now, the Ice Snow Empress fixed her gaze on Wang Li. Her sky-blue, crystalline eyes were devoid of emotion as she spoke with cold indifference: 

"The Purple Jade Celestial Ginseng that once resided in this snowy mountain—why did it suddenly sacrifice itself to you?" 

Hearing this, Wang Li paused briefly in thought before answering honestly: 

"I made a deal with the elder. He gave me the cultivation he had accumulated over 190,000 years, and in return, I helped him attain a second life, allowing him to evade the impending beast tribulation." 

The moment he spoke, the Ice Snow Empress, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and the Titan Snow Demon King were all visibly shocked. 

As ancient soul beasts, they understood all too well the terror of the beast tribulation. However, as they were not plant-type soul beasts, they had no knowledge of the Blue Silver Emperor's unique ability to restore life from the brink of death. 

The Titan Snow Demon King, with over 200,000 years of cultivation, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, with more than 300,000 years, and the Ice Snow Empress, who had surpassed 600,000 years—all of them were deeply concerned about their own upcoming tribulations. 

The Ice Snow Empress's voice grew noticeably urgent as she asked once more: 

"The Purple Jade Celestial Ginseng… has he truly been revived?"

Wang Li shook his head and said bluntly, 

"Your sudden arrival has made it impossible for me to focus on saving him. Once I leave the Extreme North, I will bring him back to life." 

The Ice Snow Empress immediately understood and took a step back. She then commanded, 

"Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Titan Snow Demon King, step back. Human, go ahead and heal him—we will not interfere." 

As soon as she spoke, both the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and the Titan Snow Demon King retreated as well. They, too, were curious to see whether the Purple Jade Celestial Ginseng could truly be revived. 

Seeing how cooperative they were, Wang Li quickly grasped the situation. He had no objections to demonstrating his abilities in front of these three powerful soul beasts—if things went well, he might even gain three formidable allies. 

Without hesitation, he summoned his martial soul and retrieved the seed. Slender blue-silver vines extended, gently touching the seed's surface. 

Silently, Wang Li chanted in his heart: 

"Ultimate Rebirth—The wildfires burn endlessly, yet the spring wind breathes life anew!" 

His second soul ring lit up, and with his immense soul power, he instantly transformed it into a vast surge of life energy. 

A steady stream of azure energy flowed through the Blue Silver vines and into the seed. 

What had once been a lifeless husk trembled slightly. Moments later, it stirred with newfound vitality. 

It sprouted. It grew. 

A seed that had already died was now coming back to life. 

The life force of Blue Silver Grass, the life force of the Blue Silver King, and the supreme life force of the Blue Silver Emperor—all of them were fundamentally different. Among all his soul abilities, his second soul skill had received the greatest enhancement after his martial soul's evolution, as it was rooted in the manipulation of his own life energy. 

The seed's growth was visible to the naked eye. 

In mere moments, it surpassed the levels of a ten-year soul beast, then a hundred-year soul beast, then a thousand-year soul beast—until it finally reached the realm of a ten-thousand-year soul beast. 

Now, a vibrant purple ginseng plant stood before them. It glowed with a crystalline, jade-like translucence, exuding an enticing fragrance that could make anyone salivate. 

Wang Li knew the most critical step had arrived. 

"Soul, return!" 

A terrifying force erupted from the purple ginseng, as if it were searching for something that rightfully belonged to it. 

Inside Wang Li's body—more precisely, within his torso soul bone—an entity stirred. The soul of the Purple Jade Celestial Ginseng, which had fallen into a deep slumber after losing its soul ring, soul bone, and all its power, was now being pulled by this force. 

A glowing purple orb shot out of Wang Li's body and merged seamlessly into the ginseng plant. 

The next instant, brilliant purple light erupted, engulfing everything. As the glow faded, the ginseng plant vanished. 

In its place stood a boy with flowing violet hair. 

His eyes snapped open, filled with pure exhilaration. Laughing loudly, he leapt to his feet and exclaimed, 

"I'm alive again! Hahaha!" 

Of course, the Purple Jade Celestial Ginseng had not truly transformed into a human. This was simply one of his innate abilities—one part burrowing escape, the other part transformation—his most effective means of concealment. 

Wang Li had no intention of returning the soul ring, the soul bone, or the 190,000 years of cultivation. He had merely forced the Purple Jade Celestial Ginseng into a second life using the life energy of the Blue Silver Emperor. 

On the other side, the Ice Snow Empress, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and the Titan Snow Demon King were all utterly dumbfounded. 

Dead. 

Alive. 

A being that had truly died… had actually come back to life.
