Within the crack, a faint Golden White Light began to shine, releasing wisps of icy coldness.
The crack widened and widened, and the Golden White Light finally revealed its true form.
It was a plump, round silkworm, looking soft and fleshy. It was over a meter in diameter and more than seven meters long, slowly wriggling its way out of the crack.
Although the silkworm had burrowed out of the soil, its jade-white body shimmered with flowing halos of light, crystal-clear and utterly untouched by dirt.
On its head was a pair of tiny, glittering golden eyes. Starting half a meter below its head, a golden pattern encircled its body at regular intervals, ten in total from head to tail.
This reminded Huo Yuhao of the abnormality in his left eye. After turning golden, it too had ten chain-like shadows wrapped around it.
Yet for some reason, Huo Yuhao did not feel nervous at all. He was still pondering the silkworm's words, which seemed somewhat similar to the voice that had appeared at the very beginning.
The silkworm seemed to think Huo Yuhao had been frightened senseless, and the earlier voice echoed through Huo Yuhao's mind once more.
"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. Do you know? I've chosen you to be the lucky one! You are going to become the master of me, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the first Million-Year Soul Beast in the history of the Douluo Continent! Aren't you pleasantly surprised? Isn't it unexpected?"
Huo Yuhao only felt as though those voices were about to reverberate through his mind again, leaving him no time to pay attention to this fellow calling himself Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
But Sky Dream Ice Silkworm paid no attention to that. He first warily glanced toward the Star Dou Great Forest Depths with his enormous head, then turned back to Huo Yuhao. His voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind again. "I'm going to begin! Don't worry, I'll be gentle. I definitely won't hurt you too much."
As he spoke, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm charged at Huo Yuhao, pressing his head against Huo Yuhao's forehead. At the same time, ten golden halos pulsed as if they had come alive, swiftly enveloping Huo Yuhao's body.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm himself transformed into streams of white radiance that continuously poured into Huo Yuhao's body.
An invisible spiritual ripple spread out as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm poured himself into Huo Yuhao, instantly covering every corner of a vast area.
Elsewhere, a young man and woman who were resting were also swept over by this spiritual ripple, immediately falling into a brief daze.
At that moment, the southern end of the Star Dou Great Forest was terrifyingly still.
At that very moment, high above the Star Dou Great Forest, the previously clear sky suddenly darkened, and a thunderous boom rang out overhead.
In that instant, even the sun's light was completely obscured by darkness, while an immense pressure descended from the sky, so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe.
A Gray Airflow instantly arrived at the back of Huo Yuhao's head and quietly slipped inside.
After the Gray Airflow entered the back of Huo Yuhao's head, an extremely blurred figure appeared behind him. An aged voice filled with indescribable majesty rang out.
"With sun and moon in hand, I pluck the stars; there is no one else in this world like me. I never expected that even a trace of this old man's Remnant Soul would remain."
After saying this, the blurred figure immediately vanished.
"Damn it, who's trying to steal my person?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm roared furiously, but he had no way to deal with the mysterious Gray Airflow and could only continue what he had yet to finish.
His true body gradually became transparent, while his size rapidly shrank.
At the same time, the immense Spiritual Power that had previously covered the southern end of the Star Dou Great Forest was drawn back at an astonishing speed.
In the Star Dou Great Forest Depths, several terrifying auras fluctuated violently at once, as though sensing something, but they were destined to find nothing.
After Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice faded away, a circle of pearly-white light silently appeared beneath Huo Yuhao. It circled his body three times before gradually fading and merging into his body, disappearing without a trace.
No one saw the Golden Eye suddenly appear behind Huo Yuhao's back, covered in mysterious patterns and as tall as a person. Though it did not appear particularly enormous, its aura was ancient and mysterious, as though it had come from the dawn of time, filling heaven and earth.
This eye was exactly the same as Huo Yuhao's transformed left eye, and ten chain-like phantoms appeared upon it.
Though no sound was heard, one of the ten chain-like phantoms seemed to shatter, gradually dispersing into nothingness.
Immediately afterward, the entire Golden Eye vanished, as if it had never appeared.
"What is this...?"
Huo Yuhao examined where he was.
It was a White Space, filled with countless points of light stretching beyond the limits of sight.
Ten enormous golden halos floated in midair, gradually transforming into ten massive Golden Orbs. Milky-white halos encircled them like satellite rings.
Near one of the orbs was an inconspicuous Gray Orb. It was somewhat smaller than the ten Golden Orbs, yet it remained completely unaffected and stood motionless.
The points of light within the space gradually sank, converging into a Golden Ocean that bore the ten Golden Orbs.
The Gray Orb, meanwhile, continued floating in the air.
"Huh? Why can't I read his information?" A somewhat astonished voice rang out in the space, giving Huo Yuhao a familiar feeling once again, as though he had heard that voice before.
Just then, a massive Golden Eye suddenly emerged from the Golden Ocean, identical to the Golden Eye that had appeared behind Huo Yuhao earlier.
The moment the Golden Eye appeared, both the ten golden spheres floating on the ocean's surface and the Gray Orb suspended overhead shuddered violently. Two different voices emerged from them, each expressing the same shock.
"This power... This is..."
Huo Yuhao looked at the suddenly appearing Golden Eye. It was exactly the same as his transformed left eye.
At this moment, only nine chain-like phantoms remained on the Golden Eye.
Could it be because of what happened with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?
For some reason, Huo Yuhao desperately wanted to touch the Golden Eye.
He had a premonition that he could learn all the truth, all the secrets, from it.
Why he had undergone such changes, why he could obtain cultivation techniques in his dreams—he could learn everything simply by touching it.
If he missed this opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life. This thought, emerging from the deepest depths of his heart, drove Huo Yuhao to slowly walk toward the enormous Golden Eye.
