The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately climbed up the pole, speaking with shared resentment, "Isn't that right? Just because Brother is a little cuter, a little more handsome, and a little stronger, those ferocious beasts can't just treat me as food! This is great, I've finally escaped. Little Brother, although you're a bit young, your foundation is quite good. Brother will just treat this as a nurturing project. When you become powerful in the future, you must avenge me! Didn't they evolve by absorbing my soul power? In the future, turn them all into soul rings and soul bones, hmph hmph!"
"Alright, when I grow up, I will definitely help you get revenge," Huo Yuhao said with a laugh, agreeing without a moment's hesitation. The relationship between the human and the beast rapidly closed in this somewhat bizarre yet magical story.
Although the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had lived for a million years, it had only come into contact with a small number of soul beasts. While its intelligence was not inferior to that of a human, how could it know the treachery of the human heart? If a human had encountered its situation, they would absolutely not reveal their story so easily to others. The Huo Yuhao of this life was not a blank slate of a child, but a mature adult. Of course, Huo Yuhao would naturally not harm it, which was also its good fortune.
"Alright, what about you? I can feel that the intensity of this wisp of your divine sense is not weak, but unfortunately, it has no foundation. If this Empress had not stabilized you with my divine power, you could have dissipated at any time," Bibi Dong said, knowingly asking a question she already knew the answer to, as she looked at the motionless Electrolux.
"Old fellow, who the hell are you? Why are you fighting with me for territory?" the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said angrily at the same time.
"This old one is fighting with you for territory? What do you think you are? Nothing but a meat worm," the ancient voice retorted without yielding an inch.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm raged, "You're full of crap! Come at me if you have the guts! Let's see who takes down who. Don't think Brother didn't see it, you're down to this last wisp of divine sense, without even a bit of energy. With just that, you want to fight me?"
The ancient voice said disdainfully, "That's right, this old one is down to a single wisp of divine sense. However, the level of my divine sense is countless times higher than yours. What can you do to me? My divine sense shattered, and you can't even deal with the one wisp that remains. Think about it, what will happen when this old one gradually recovers my shattered divine sense and all my memories? I will pinch your fat body, and then slowly squeeze. Splat. I'll crush you. Meat juices will fly everywhere."
"You two, stop!" Huo Yuhao did not want his spiritual sea to turn into a chaotic battlefield and hurriedly intervened.
The ancient voice was significantly gentler when facing him. "Boy, this old one should not originally belong to this world. I only remember that I seemed to be dying at the time. But perhaps because my soul's power was too great, at the moment of death, I broke through space, and this wisp of my divine sense survived. As a result, I arrived in your world. At that time, that big bug was fusing with you, producing a very strong energy fluctuation, which also attracted me. Thus, this wisp of my divine sense took up residence in your spiritual sea. Rest assured, I have no malice towards you. In the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this place either."
"I am only left with a single wisp of divine sense and am extremely fragile. I need time to gradually repair it to slowly recover all my memories. Although I don't remember what happened, I can tell you with certainty: do not let hatred blind your eyes. Once you have done something irreversible, you will surely regret it for the rest of your life and will never be able to make up for it. Something similar seems to have happened to me. Fortunately, you are still young, and your abilities are not yet that powerful. There is still time to gradually resolve the hatred in your heart."
Hatred? Huo Yuhao couldn't help but recall the slaughter he had committed in his previous life. That's right, hatred had blinded his eyes. In a moment of rage, he had killed all his enemies, but had neglected the family who was waiting for him to support them, and had come alone to this familiar yet strange world.
"Hey, Little Brother is my host, he doesn't need you to lecture him! Are you treating Brother as air?" the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm wouldn't have it and roared in anger.
The ancient voice said very disdainfully, "Of course you're not air, just a bug. This old one can't be bothered with you. I'm going back to repairing my divine sense. Huo Yuhao, I just scanned your memories. Your hatred has accumulated too much. You can act on your own accord and vent your hatred, but you must not let this hatred fester. When my divine sense has recovered a bit, I will try my best to help you. Let me think, what do I remember now? Hmm... besides some blurry fragments, I seem to only remember one sentence. 'My hand grasps the sun and moon and plucks the stars from the sky; there is no one in this world like me.' Hahaha, hahahaha."
"'My hand grasps the sun and moon and plucks the stars from the sky; there is no one in this world like me.' That does have a certain domineering air," Bibi Dong lightly tapped her chin. From this fragment of Electrolux's divine sense, she could tell that his power in life was not much weaker than the gods of the Douluo plane. She was able to suppress Electrolux mainly because she possessed a complete divine sense and a large amount of Rakshasa divine power.
Amidst the great laughter, the gray wisp of air in the spiritual sea condensed into a gray bead, quietly floating there without any further movement. Huo Yuhao knew that before he obtained the Life Gold, this old man would probably rarely make an appearance.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cursed in a fit of pique, "Bastard, bastard! This old fellow actually dared to ignore Brother, and even dared to curse me! I'm going to kill him, damn it, I'm going to kill him!"
"Alright, that's enough," Bibi Dong's expression was cold, carrying a trace of unquestionable pressure.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm instantly fell silent like a winter cicada.
"Your Majesty, show it the original Huo Yuhao's experiences. It won't hurt," Huo Yuhao had seen the extent to which this big bug bullied the weak and feared the strong. Thinking that he would have to fight alongside this guy in the future, it was better to be open about some things from the start.
"Little Brother's original experiences?" the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't help but show a look of confusion.
Bibi Dong nodded. A wisp of sickly green divine power drifted from the scepter in her hand towards the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. It contained the entire original story of Unrivaled Tang Sect—Huo Yuhao's legendary life of dominating the Douluo Continent.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm did not resist. No matter how much strength it had in life, it was nothing in front of a god.
Soon, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's large, round eyes widened.
"Wow wow wow wow! Is this real?" Tianmeng was ecstatic, its huge body wriggling crazily. It was clearly very satisfied with the original's ending. "The person Brother chose really became a god!"
"Yes, but you, the Ice Empress, and the others ultimately only became my appendages, and couldn't be reborn like Da Ming and Er Ming, to be completely independent of me," Huo Yuhao directly poured a basin of cold water on it.
"It doesn't matter! As long as I can be with Bingbing forever, Brother is willing to do anything!" Clearly, Huo Yuhao had still underestimated this guy's lower limit.
Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong looked at each other, and he asked with a bitter smile, "Don't you want to become a god, to have life again, to truly be with the Ice Empress for a long, long time?"
"This..." the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm blinked its large, round eyes. The possibility Huo Yuhao proposed was clearly more tempting to it. "But you don't have your father-in-law's ability..."
Indeed, although the original novel did not mention how the Tang Buddha brought the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python back to life, it was clearly not something the Sea God and the Asura God had the authority to do. Huo Yuhao's final number of spirit souls was not small, and his relationship with his father-in-law was not harmonious in the early stages, so he had never fulfilled his initial promise to his several spirit souls.
Even after ascending to the Divine Realm, they were merely appendages of a god's abilities.
"He is not worthy of being my father-in-law," Huo Yuhao said with a cold laugh.
"Little Yuhao, you have a way?" the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rubbed its large, round head against Huo Yuhao, its eyes hopeful.
"Not at the moment, but if I can control the Divine Realm in the future and redefine the order, I can make you all become gods like those two soul beasts and obtain eternal life," Huo Yuaho said frankly. Since the Tang Buddha could do it, if he had the same authority in the Divine Realm, he might not be unable to do it.
"Brother Tianmeng, are you willing to start over with me?"
Huo Yuhao patted the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's large head, looked it straight in the eye, and asked sincerely.
"Yuhao, your eyes won't lie to Brother. Brother believes you," a human-like smile appeared on the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's chubby face. Perhaps the process with Huo Yuhao in this life would not be as soul-stirring as in the original novel, and the final opponent would change from the strongest on the Douluo Continent to the strongest in the Divine Realm, but the future Huo Yuhao painted had deeply moved it.
"Brother is betting on you guys!"
"Pfft—" The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's "ready to die for a cause" appearance made even the noble and elegant Bibi Dong, who had been maintaining her composure, burst out laughing. The stunned Huo Yuhao at her side was completely captivated.
"Alright, then let's proceed according to the orthodox plot. Tianmeng, take out all the stakes you bet on Yuhao," Bibi Dong couldn't help but glance at the dazed Huo Yuhao and signaled to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
As a million-year soul ring, and the first unprecedented wisdom soul ring at that, the first soul ring transformed from Tianmeng could not only evolve infinitely according to Huo Yuhao's physical condition, but it would also grant him four soul skills. Although it didn't give him a soul bone, it could give him an additional martial soul.
Although Huo Yuhao already knew from the original novel that the million-year soul ring would be of great help to him, he was still inexplicably excited at this moment. A soul ring that could evolve infinitely was already very exaggerated. But the bigger surprise was actually the four soul skills plus one martial soul.
Since the four soul skills all came from the first soul ring, then, without a doubt, their power would also evolve along with the evolution of the first soul ring. They were abilities that could be used forever! And adding a martial soul could simply be described as a divine skill. It was equivalent to turning him, who only had the Spirit Eyes martial soul, into a genius powerhouse with twin martial souls. An additional martial soul could be attached with at least nine more soul rings, which meant an increase of nine more soul skills. How could such an enhancement be compared to a hundred-thousand-year soul ring? Tianmeng had undoubtedly opened a gateway to the heavens for him, giving the originally mediocre Huo Yuhao an infinitely possible future.
The martial soul Tianmeng bestowed upon Huo Yuhao was Ice, but it was currently ice without a soul. It only had the attribute, but no form.
Only when Huo Yuhao absorbed his first ice-attribute soul ring would this martial soul take shape. Whatever soul beast he absorbed the soul ring from, that would be what his second martial soul would become. According to the plot's development, Huo Gua's second martial soul was precisely Tianmeng's beloved Ice Empress, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.
