Background
The Myriad Changes Silkworm originated as a Thousand Changes Silkworm, an exceptionally rare variant nearly indistinguishable from a Chameleon Silkworm. A jade-like glimmer on its forehead was the visible clue to its identity; Ye Bai noted that a Thousand Changes Silkworm might not appear even among a million Chameleon Silkworms. Its silk was reputedly valuable enough to sell ounce-for-ounce with gold. 4
Before meeting Ye Bai, it wandered among pet-beast groups stealing food because of its unusually rapid digestion and constant hunger. It had never eaten a full meal, endured frequent beatings for stealing, and developed exceptional tolerance for physical attacks as a result. Ye Bai's five bags of rations were its first satisfying meal. 5
Ye Bai chose its defense-oriented evolution route over the Sun God Butterfly route. The resulting Myriad Changes Silkworm initially looked almost unchanged after evolution—apart from two small, leaf-like wings—but it gained Doppelganger and later revealed its true value through mimicry, adaptable transformations, and clone-based combat. 33 65
Appearance
In its silkworm form, it is a plump jade-white creature with large innocent-looking eyes, a long red tongue, eight neat teeth, and a small glimmer on its forehead. Its Myriad Changes Silkworm form adds two thin, leaf-sized wings that were initially too small to support flight. 4 65
- Jade-white, luminous body.
- Oversized nostrils and a long red tongue.
- Often wears an oblivious or smug expression despite its unusual strength.
- Its Myriad Changes Butterfly form possesses three pairs of wings:
- Golden wings representing the sun.
- Silver wings representing the moon.
- Star-blue wings representing the stars.
- The butterfly's wing colors continually change with its attributes. 311
Personality
The Myriad Changes Silkworm is consistently described as gluttonous. Food is its most reliable motivation: it drools over Sunflower nectar, eagerly accepts battle rewards involving meals, and can be prompted into action when Ye Bai leverages its appetite. 33 69 254
It is also lazy and fond of sleeping, often appearing confused or disinterested at the beginning of battles. Beneath that demeanor, it is stubborn, competitive, and unexpectedly diligent. After realizing the danger posed by stronger opponents, it resolved to improve its defense and speed through daily training. 12 159 225
Its durability gives it an unusual taste for pain: Thunder Ox lightning felt like a pleasant massage, while the Sharp Claw Cat's repeated attacks were treated as an enjoyable back-scratch. 100 101
Abilities & Skills
Extreme Defense
Its original specialty is physical durability. Even before evolving, its defense exceeded that of ordinary Chameleon Silkworms.
- Harden / Steelize / Steel Harden — Reinforces its body; Steelize is a superior form of Harden that makes its body as hard as steel. 40
- Withstood a Drill Ant's attack and defeated the Boxing Rabbit after using Harden. 12
- Required multiple blows from the Third Order Sunflower King to restrain or knock unconscious. 33 38
- Shattered a Gale Wolf's wind blade without being injured. 133
- Broke the Sharp Claw Cat's claws through sheer durability. 101
- Its early offensive options were limited, and its silk could be corroded by the Berserk Blood Rat's Blood Mist. 38
Silk Manipulation
The Silkworm can produce exceptionally smooth, resilient silk for both utility and combat.
- Silk Spit / Silk Spinning — Fires or weaves silk threads for binding, pulling, restraining, and crafting. 5 131
- Used silk to pull down a lamppost and turn it into a weapon against the Berserk Blood Rat. 38
- Its silk was woven into thin gloves capable of isolating toxins while Ye Bai processed Two-winged Black Centipedes. 255
- As the Myriad Changes Butterfly, it captured a Death Holy Angel in a silk net. 518
Doppelganger
Doppelganger is its innate talent and the foundation of Ye Bai's preferred evolution route.
- Creates physical, independently tangible clones controlled by the main body. 65
- Every clone consumes stamina; creating a second clone initially exhausted it to unconsciousness, causing both clones to dissipate. 66
- Clone capacity increased with advancement:
- Its clones can continue obeying Ye Bai even when the main body is unconscious. 257
Mimicry and Attribute Transformation
Its doppelgangers can record and reproduce evolved forms from the Chameleon Silkworm lineage.
- Mimicry — A clone can record one evolved form at a time; recording a new form overwrites its prior stored mimicry. 66
- Demonstrated forms include the Blood Poison Moth, Blood Gu Butterfly, Goddess of Light Butterfly, Poison Dragon Butterfly, Lightning Butterfly, and Giant Rock Butterfly. 73 161 255
- The main body later transformed directly into a Lightning Butterfly, becoming more agile than the original form and capable of flight. 234
- Harmonic Mimicry — At Tier 7, it could mimic the final evolved form of any creature carrying Chameleon Silkworm, Thousand Changes Silkworm, or Myriad Changes Silkworm bloodline. 380
- Attribute Transformation — As a Myriad Changes Butterfly, it can freely switch into attributes it has mimicked. 311
Crystal Core Devouring
The Thousand Changes Silkworm can learn and replace skills by consuming Crystal Cores.
- Devouring the Berserk Blood Rat's Blood Core gave it the beginnings of the Berserk skill. 38
- Crystal Cores can replace an existing skill with a higher-tier version of the same type, as Harden was upgraded into Steelize. 40
- Berserk later reached Proficient and then Mastery. 131 177
Mobility
Although its early silkworm form relied primarily on rolling and ramming, its later transformations improved its movement options.
- Roll — Curls into a high-speed rolling form to evade attacks. 38
- Ram — Uses its durable body as a blunt weapon; it sent the Boxing Rabbit and Blood Skeleton General flying. 12 226
- Wind Wings — At Tier 7, it could fly freely through wind power. 380
Relationships
- Ye Bai — Master and first contractor. Ye Bai recognized its rare identity, fed it properly for the first time, selected the Myriad Changes route, and repeatedly develops strategies around its defensive and mimicry abilities. 4 5 65 177
- Da Hui — Fellow pet beast and frequent enforcer. Da Hui intimidated it into producing a second doppelganger, while the Silkworm later sought to strengthen itself after witnessing Da Hui's overwhelming power. 66 159
- Sunflower King / Sunflower Emperor — Fellow pet beast and early rival over Sunflower nectar. The Sunflower King's repeated vine-whip attacks helped demonstrate and temper the Silkworm's defense. 33
- Zhang Lingxue — Ye Bai's teacher and an early observer of its rarity. She helped Ye Bai manage the stamina demands of its doppelgangers and was entrusted with its mimicry secret. 12 73
- Blood Poison Moths — Early mimicry targets. A doppelganger successfully copied a Blood Poison Moth's appearance and abilities during Ye Bai's tests. 65 66
Story Role / Major Arcs
Contract and Early Battles
Ye Bai identified the creature as a Thousand Changes Silkworm rather than an ordinary Chameleon Silkworm and contracted it despite its unremarkable appearance. It soon defeated He Qingyuan's Boxing Rabbit through Harden and a powerful Ram. 4 5 12
During the Burrowing Rat crisis, it fought the Berserk Blood Rat and Blood Steel Rat. By following Ye Bai's improvised lamppost strategy, it killed the Berserk Blood Rat and discovered its ability to learn skills from consumed Crystal Cores. 38
Evolution into the Myriad Changes Silkworm
After the Beast Tide, Ye Bai prepared its evolution materials using resources from the Berserk Blood Rat Emperor. The Silkworm emerged as the Myriad Changes Silkworm, unlocking Doppelganger and opening Ye Bai's second Contract Slot. 51 65
Ye Bai's subsequent tests established that its clones could mimic evolved Chameleon Silkworm-lineage beasts, greatly expanding its possible combat roles. 66 73
Advancement and Butterfly Sacred Valley
The Myriad Changes Silkworm advanced through the Blood Pool to Tier 4 after consuming enormous amounts of energy and treasures. Ye Bai deliberately rejected its Five Elements Butterfly path because he feared it would lose Doppelganger, choosing the more demanding Myriad Changes Butterfly route instead. 177
In Butterfly Sacred Valley, it transformed into a Lightning Butterfly to fight Five Elements Butterflies. It avoided an unintended Five Elements Butterfly evolution by having a clone collect the five elemental Crystal Core halos instead of absorbing them itself. 255 256
Myriad Changes Butterfly and Sacred Butterfly
Under a full moon, it consumed the Myriad Changes Stone and evolved into the Tier 6 Myriad Changes Butterfly. Its new form gained six clones and direct attribute transformation. 311
It later used silk to capture a Death Holy Angel, enabling the Sunflower Immortal to enslave the angel. 518 After devouring a Divine Spark Crystal, it advanced into the Tier 8 Peak Myriad Changes Sacred Butterfly. 557
Clone-Derived Forms
A Myriad Changes Silkworm born in the Guai Realm is presented as a separate clone associated with the Myriad Changes Sacred Butterfly.
- It contracted a Wilderness Battle Bear after defeating it, allowing Ye Bai's group to pass Guai surveillance more easily. 575
- Faith power produced a golden, plump form that attracted beast-like Abnormalities, while another clone appeared pitch-black with scarlet eyes. 577
- After devouring the Mummy Guai King's forces and cocooning, it became a Guai God Butterfly, inheriting the Mummy Guai King's Guai Domain. 580 581
- A later thirteenth emperor clone transformed into a Yellow Springs Butterfly and absorbed the Yellow Springs Minor World into its abnormal space. 585
Trivia
- Its Thousand Changes Silkworm form was so similar to an ordinary Chameleon Silkworm that even Zhang Lingxue initially failed to recognize it. 12 73
- It once destroyed an arena with a fart, resulting in a fine; the school suppressed the incident to avoid embarrassment. 73
- Its love of food is so extreme that Ye Bai worried it might deliberately lose a match just to secure a year's worth of pet food. 69
