Soul Core Condensation

"Soul Spirit Contract... Does this thing really work the way you said it does?!"

"Yes, it does."

Huo Yuhao revealed a gentle smile, his gaze bright and tender. "Sister Tianmeng, just... please believe me."

Tian Meng blinked, and as she watched Huo Yuhao smile, she inexplicably felt a sense of closeness.

What the hell, why was her heart fluttering?!

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt her mind descend into chaos, unable to think of what to say for a moment.

Hadn't she been the one to approach Huo Yuhao?! Why did it feel like Huo Yuhao had been waiting here like a fisherman for her to take the bait, and now she seemed to have fallen for it?

And that "Soul Spirit Contract"—was it really reliable?

According to her original plan, after becoming an Intelligent Spirit Ring, she would only be able to stay obediently within the Spiritual Sea. But if this "Soul Spirit Contract" was genuine, it seemed she could remain outside indefinitely without any issue?

Wasn't that wonderful?

But precisely because it was so wonderful, it felt somewhat unreal to her.

She blinked again and looked into the young man's eyes. Her Spiritual Power stirred slightly as she tried to determine whether Huo Yuhao was lying.

However... he wasn't.

Those azure eyes were far too pure, without the slightest trace of impurities. Instead, they were incomparably sincere.

She stared at Huo Yuhao for a long time in silence. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she spoke seriously.

"Alright! Let's gamble! I'll listen to you. Tell me what to do, and I'll do whatever you say!"

"It's simple. Sister Tianmeng, just relax and let my consciousness enter. Don't resist when the time comes."

Tian Meng decided to take the gamble.

Though she did not know why, from the very first moment she saw this young man, she had felt that he would not harm her. She had even unconsciously lowered her guard, but...

This young man truly was the only hope she could grasp right now!

Ever since she broke through to one million years, she had sensed the arrival of heavenly punishment. Her lifespan had long since been running out. Perhaps she had a few decades left, perhaps a few centuries—but who knew?

To a Soul Beast, such a short span of time passed in the blink of an eye. Yet a spiritual-type soul master capable of bearing her power was something one could only hope to encounter!

She was doing it!

Huo Yuhao slowly raised his head and gently placed his palm over the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's enormous head.

Using golden Power of Emotion as the material to construct the Hexagram Array, the contract that formed between Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm swiftly descended.

Calm, gentle, bright, without the slightest trace of malice...

As the contract was signed, Tian Meng and Huo Yuhao became connected in heart and mind. At last, Tian Meng let down her final guard.

She slowly closed her eyes. Her consciousness began to follow the contract bit by bit, entering Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea. Then, she saw the golden vertical eye radiating brilliant light, along with the rings of emotion encircling it.

"Th-This is a d-divine artifact?!!!"

Tian Meng finally lost her composure. She did not even have time to bother with the Little Gray Ball that had suddenly intruded nearby, merely staring blankly at that golden vertical eye.

What the hell, bro?!

What kind of existence had she chosen?!!!

"What's wrong, Sister Tianmeng?"

Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly sounded from nearby.

The Soul Spirit Contract had been signed successfully. Since Tian Meng had not resisted, it had been completed almost instantly.

Now, all that remained was to fill and transform the spirit ring.

After settling everything outside, Huo Yuhao naturally returned to the Spiritual Sea to see what had happened to Sister Tianmeng.

Yet the moment he entered, he saw Tian Meng staring silently at the Eye of Destiny in the distance.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's voice, Tian Meng snapped back to her senses slightly and stammered, "Um, Yuhao... y-you're a Deity, right? Otherwise, how could you possess these things?!"

"A Deity..." Huo Yuhao nodded, then shook his head. "I used to be, I suppose. But now, I'm just an ordinary person."

An ordinary person...

Tian Meng was too weak to complain, but she was even more excited.

It was settled! Everything was settled!

A Deity rebuilding himself while carrying a divine artifact—how could they possibly lose?! Wasn't this already a guaranteed ticket to immortality?! All they needed was a little time!

With her and Yuhao working together, wouldn't they just steamroll everything?!

Tian Meng began to lose herself in her fantasies. Watching her so full of energy, Huo Yuhao unconsciously smiled.

The Spiritual Sea was becoming lively again.

Without disturbing Tian Meng's excitement, Huo Yuhao slowly turned his gaze toward the exceptionally quiet Little Gray Ball in the distance.

"Teacher, it's been a long time."

Huo Yuhao murmured softly, then reached out and slowly pushed the Little Gray Ball into the Eye of Destiny at the center of the Spiritual Sea.

His Eye of Destiny had initially been opened by that tiny piece of Gold of Life, then later ascended into the Eye of Destiny because of Qiu'er.

Although its primary attribute was no longer life but Destiny, a higher-level power, it should be enough to nurture Elder Yi's soul.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to awaken Elder Yi properly before enrolling at Shrek.

On the other side, Tian Meng, who had calmed down, came over. She looked at the Little Gray Ball being sent into the Eye of Destiny, then at Huo Yuhao beside her, and spoke directly.

"Yuhao, what are we doing next? You still haven't added your spirit ring!"

"No rush. I want to try something."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, then raised his hand. He controlled his Spiritual Power to take out one portion of the Origin Power that had been evenly divided into ten parts, then looked at Tian Meng again.

"Sister Tianmeng, don't resist. Let me control you."

Tian Meng blinked, then nodded anyway and handed over control of herself.

The next moment, the portion of Origin Power he had separated disappeared from the Spiritual Sea and appeared in the outside world.

Her unconscious body, lying quietly on the ground, was enveloped by Origin Power. Then, the Origin Power gradually shrank and changed, slowly forming a golden spirit ring.

The contract written with the Power of Destiny was indeed extraordinary. Tian Meng could clearly feel her spiritual body leaving Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea, then slowly descending onto that golden spirit ring.

The power of the Soul Spirit Contract manifested at this moment. A phantom of the Eye of Destiny appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead, while invisible threads of fate gradually guided the golden spirit ring into Huo Yuhao's body.

A moment later, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes. Brilliant golden light gradually withdrew, and in the next moment, a golden spirit ring appeared beside him.

His cultivation had not changed from level ten. This was one of the drawbacks of the improved version, but it was nothing significant. With the Seed of Emotion as assistance, raising his cultivation would not be difficult.

And now, Huo Yuhao was ready to begin the second step of his plan.

Condense a Soul Core!
