System Journey to Godhood

"Snowy..."

"Hmm?" Snowy replied at the voice who called her name absentmindedly.

"Are you okay?" Feng Xue was really worried about Snowy's state of mind. Since they returned to Blackwood Forest, Snowy had fallen quiet as if she was deep in thought.

"Un. Don't worry, Xue," Snowy smiled at her as she shook her head dismissively.

"If something bothers you, you can always share it with me, Snowy," Feng Xue stared at Snowy with determined eyes while locking her fingers with Snowy's, "I want to help you like how you always there for me. Please, I want to lessen your pain, even if it's just a little bit."

"Un. Thank you, Xue..." Warmth filled Snowy's heart and somehow also crept up to her face as her cheeks turned rosy when she remembered what they had done while bathing together before.

'Hehe, she is so cute...' She actually had already noticed that Snowy blushed and averted her eyes from her, but she decided to keep it for later so she could tease her properly. She asked Snowy with a straight face keeping her thought in check, "So, what's going on in your mind? Is it about our meeting with the old man earlier?"

"Un."

Snowy pondered for a bit before recounting her talks with the old man in the frozen time. She also told Feng Xue about her previous self as a system, her current mission, the Alchemist Goddess, and the significant meaning of the cauldron appearance.

Meanwhile, Feng Xue was listening to Snowy's explanation carefully with a serious expression. Her eyes widen for a second before she quickly returned to her previous serious look.

"So the gist is: you are a former goddess and turned into a million years being who previously assisting many gods and goddess and now ended up in a new body intending to be a goddess once more, huh? If other peoples are telling me this, I definitely think they are insane. However, when it comes from your mouth, I only expect it to be more absurd than this, and not less."

Although her story seemed unbelievable and absurd, Feng Xue, who already knew about the possibility of Snowy being a goddess, neither doubted her words nor was overly shocked by this revelation.

Whether she had been living for more than a million years or she had accompanied many invincible existences, it only made her think, 'it was the typical Snowy', and she shrugged it off.

However, when she heard the part explaining that Snowy required to understand human emotion to complete her soul, and it was also the reason why Snowy had agreed to come with her when she first met, Feng Xue couldn't help but worry, "Are you okay? You're not in danger, are you?"

After her father's incident, Feng Xue felt a little bit paranoid whenever the matter of the soul being mentioned. She had calmed down in the past few weeks, but her fear resurfaced when she heard the truth about Snowy's condition. After all, Snowy's soul was in a worse state than her father's soul.

Her Father's soul at least was only damaged, which means after he had been cured, his soul would still be complete. However, Snowy's case was different; it was incomplete from the start.

If someday their enemies managed to attack Snowy's soul directly, the outcome would only be worse than her father's condition. Feng Xue didn't want to see such a thing happened to Snowy.

Understanding Feng Xue's worry, Snowy answered her question calmly and confidently, "Don't worry, Xue, Nothing will happen to me. Although my soul is currently incomplete, it still much stronger than the average complete soul. The only drawback is that my ability to create skills from my knowledge was limited. Just like when I created your cultivation technique, I will suffer a backlash if the technique is exceeding Heaven grade."

"And also, I cannot learn or use any soul-related technique before my soul is complete, except if it comes from the treasure or weapon I used," conclude Snowy.

Feng Xue a bit relieved by Snowy's answer. As long as Snowy had already had a plan to solve the problem with her soul, she only needed to continue supporting her like before. She was determined to help Snowy exploring much more emotion.

Now that her worry had been receded, her curiosity began surging up.

"Why don't you learn spatial technique yourself, then? Instead, you asked that annoying bun- no Rong Hua for help," said Feng Xue, still felt a bit annoyed by the rabbit who interrupted their "bathing" time.

Rong Hua's ears instinctively twitched when Feng Xue mentioned her name. She had been very sensible since they were out from the old man's house by giving them space to talk but still being hit by a stray bullet. 'That petty bird surely was one to holds a grudge,' Rong Hua thought and made what was supposed to be a wry smile.

"Spatial Technique is at least Spirit-grade. I'll get a penalty for creating such a skill. So I prefer not to do that if there are other options," said Snowy to remind Feng Xue, "And, Rong Hua also personally knows the old man, so knowing her actually very beneficial for us. In fact, if it wasn't for her, we might not be able to meet the old man that easily. Don't be too harsh on her, Xue. I can feel that she sincerely want to befriend us."

"I know... I'll try to be a bit nicer to her for you," said Feng Xue coyly. And then she shifted the conversation back to her previous topic, "So, what are you actually feel worried about?"

"I suspect something had happened before resulting in my existence, and I cannot shake the feeling that what happened to Alchemist Goddess leading her to her death was also related to this matter. If this true... I'm afraid that I'll also implicate you and your family," said Snowy weakly with an apologetic look.

"That's what you worried about? You silly girl," Feng Xue let out a little chuckle and grinned fearlessly, "Do you think that's enough to deter me? I won't let anyone bully you or my family. Whether they are immortal or divine beasts, it doesn't matter, we just need to slaughter them all if they come for trouble. Even if they are gods, so what? their heads will end up as pot chambers all the same."

Feng Xue declared as she caressed Snowy's smooth hair, "All we need is time and opportunity to grow our strength."

She had full confidence in her bloodline potential, and with the fortune given by the old man, she only needed to be a little more careful. She would eventually be able to contend with those legendary beings.

Furthermore, she was accompanied by Snowy, who helped many people gain unfathomable power and ability. They are still in an advantageous position.
