True Symbiosis

Regarding the hostile shouts directed at it, Su Luo chose to watch with cold eyes, quietly observing the little bug's performance.

Before long, the little bug tired itself out, lying powerlessly on the ground. It looked at Su Luo, lost in thought.

"Tired, aren't you? If you're tired, let's talk," Su Luo said with a smile, looking at the little bug.

"Hmph! I have nothing to talk about with a low-level creature like you," the little bug said haughtily, lifting its head.

Hearing the little bug constantly call him a low-level creature, Su Luo wasn't angry. He asked curiously:

"Why do you want to enter my brow? Do you want to co-exist with me?"

"That's right!" the little bug said without any concealment.

"Why?"

Hearing Su Luo ask why, the little bug's tone instantly became serious. It said sternly:

"From the moment you easily defeated that white ape, I've had my eye on you."

"Afterward, you even killed a life form a level higher than you without taking any damage. Such talent is truly rare."

"I can sense that you harbor several powerful forces within your body."

"You are a genius, a rare genius even in the starry sky. It would be a shame not to co-exist with you."

After listening to the little bug's words, Su Luo fell into thought.

Then, he asked the little bug another question that made him feel very confused.

"You said you established a co-existence relationship with that white ape. Then why were you unharmed when I killed it?"

Hearing this question, the little bug's voice suddenly froze.

"Um... this... that..."

Seeing how difficult it was to answer this question, Su Luo immediately realized that there was definitely something fishy going on.

"I knew it. You're not that honest. You wouldn't easily establish a co-existence relationship with a creature."

"That white ape probably didn't establish a co-existence relationship with you."

"You just wanted to use it, find a safe place, and quietly wait for the next suitable candidate for co-existence."

Su Luo's few words exposed the little bug's lie.

Seeing that its secrets were all out, the little bug became honest, no longer shouting. It just lay there quietly.

"Since you've seen through me, I won't pretend anymore. The truth is just as you said."

"I had no choice. The entire forest is filled with creatures that lack intelligence."

"The only creature with some intelligence was barely there, so I had no other option."

"I burrowed into its eye while it was sleeping, causing some benign evolution in its eye."

"It didn't know about my existence all these years, only thinking it was its own evolution."

"I thought it would go on like this until the day the white ape died of old age, and then I would find my next host."

"Who knew a monster like you would appear, capture me, and lock me up directly."

Su Luo nodded inwardly. The situation was similar to what he had thought.

The little bug hadn't truly co-existed with the white ape.

Otherwise, as one of the Seven Great Starry Sky Demonic Insects, why would it only grant the Four-tailed White Ape such a mediocre ability?

"If I agree to co-exist with you, what do you plan to do?" Su Luo asked.

Upon hearing this, the little bug immediately stood up excitedly.

"Then I will definitely co-exist with you truly and provide you with my utmost help."

Su Luo didn't dare to believe a single word the little bug said. Who knew what tricks it would pull.

Seeing Su Luo's expression of extreme distrust, the little bug felt very frustrated.

In its inherited memories, which intelligent creature, upon hearing that they could co-exist with a Pupil Worm, wasn't ecstatic?

This kind of extreme distrust was the first time it had ever seen in its entire race.

"I can't easily believe what you say. What if you burrow into my eye and don't truly co-exist with me, and I can't forcibly pull you out?" Su Luo said, spreading his hands.

"We can bind our co-existence relationship first, and then you can judge whether what I say is true or false," the little bug said indignantly.

Su Luo pondered for a few seconds and then nodded.

"Alright! Come on!"

Su Luo unscrewed the glass jar and held the little bug in his hand.

The little bug's body flashed with white light, and a strange energy chain extended from it.

The energy chain pierced Su Luo's brow. Su Luo felt as if an electric current had passed through him, his body tingling.

Immediately afterward, a high-level energy suddenly enveloped Su Luo's body.

This energy gave off a very ancient, solemn, and heavy feeling.

A few seconds later, the energy chain connecting the two suddenly disappeared.

Su Luo looked down at the small bug in his hand. The bug was also looking at him.

A feeling of being inseparable and trustworthy arose spontaneously at that moment.

The two had successfully formed a symbiosis. From now on, they would develop together.

As long as Su Luo grew stronger, the small bug would also grow stronger with him.

If Su Luo died, the small bug would die with him.

The symbiotic relationship would only be severed if both parties agreed to break it; otherwise, it would never be broken.

"Please guide me. Since we're going to be together from now on, I should give you a name," Su Luo said, touching the bug with his finger.

"Mmm... having a name is indeed more convenient. Many of my predecessors in my inherited memories had names," the bug replied in agreement.

"How about... Su Tong? My surname is Su, so you can take my surname." Su Luo said.

After thinking for a moment, the bug nodded in agreement.

The character 'Tong' represented the special abilities of their race. Using it as its name was indeed a good idea.

"Excellent, excellent! That's the name then. From now on, I am Su Tong."

Seeing that the bug liked the name, Su Luo smiled happily.

Su Tong looked at Su Luo and asked:

"Since you and I have formed a symbiosis, I'd like to know what type of eyes you prefer."

"Three eyes, four eyes, six eyes, double pupils, unique pupils, which do you prefer?"

"Although I can't control what abilities you gain, I can only guide the evolutionary power of your eyes."

"But I can decide what style you want."

Listening to Su Tong, Su Luo couldn't help but imagine himself with four or six eyes, looking terrifying.

"Su Tong, of these options, which one is the most inconspicuous, the one that won't show much change in appearance?" Su Luo asked.

"Not much change in appearance... then it has to be the three-eyed style. A thin slit in the center of the brow. If the eye isn't opened, it's barely noticeable," Su Tong replied after some thought.

"Then the three-eyed style it is! Come on! I'm ready!" Su Luo said earnestly, looking at Su Tong in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Su Tong leaped with all its might and landed on Su Luo's brow.

After lightly carving a thin slit vertically.

Su Tong's body turned into a ball of energy and gradually merged into the slit.

Before long, Su Luo felt a slight itch on his brow, followed by a tingling, distending pain.
