Sky Dream and Elder Yi

"Brother Sky Dream! You were reborn too?"

Hearing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice, Huo Yuhao was instantly overjoyed.

Having been reborn at the age of six, surrounded by an unfamiliar environment, Huo Yuhao had still felt somewhat helpless. Brother Sky Dream's appearance gave him a tremendous sense of security.

In his previous life, Huo Yuhao had been able to cut through all obstacles and ascend to a God Seat in his twenties largely because of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's help.

It could be said that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had been the starting point of Huo Yuhao's cheat-like rise. Without Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, there would have been no Huo Yuhao who could seemingly cheat his way through everything.

"Wonderful! Yuhao, you still remember me!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said excitedly, "Although you've become so tiny, I won't dislike you for it. At worst, we brothers can start over from scratch. We were both reborn with our memories, so this road will definitely be easier than in our previous life."

Hearing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice, Huo Yuhao sighed and said, "Brother Sky Dream, I'm afraid this is more than just rebirth... This is at least ten thousand years ago, back when Spirit Hall still existed..."

"At least ten thousand years ago?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's pair of large eyes widened even further. "How did we end up traveling to this era?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "You'll have to ask the Space-Time Turbulence."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "..."

Better not, then...

After a moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shook his head and said, "It's a shame only the two of us traveled through time. I wonder how Ice Empress and Snow Empress are doing, and your Tang Wutong... If the Ice and Snow Twin Emperors didn't travel through time, then they should at least still be alive now, ten thousand years ago. But if your Tang Wutong didn't travel through time, you'll have to wait another ten thousand years before you can see her..."

"Come to think of it, I don't know whether your father-in-law and mother-in-law existed before this era or after it. What if they suddenly kicked the bucket? Wouldn't that mean your wife never exists?"

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. "Brother Sky Dream, I was already in a pretty bad mood. Could you stop making it worse?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm chuckled, then said solemnly, "Yuhao, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time, but I was a little afraid to... Now that we've traveled back ten thousand years, I can finally talk to you about it..."

After pausing, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued, "Yuhao, tell me. Do you really love Tang Wutong?"

Huo Yuhao asked strangely, "Of course. Wutong is my beloved. Of course I love her."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked, "Then who do you really love—Wang Dong'er or Tang Wutong?"

"Isn't Dong'er Wutong?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shook his head. "Wang Dong'er was willing to sacrifice her life for you. But what about Tang Wutong? Tang Wutong, the personality born from combining Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiuer, the two people who loved you most, wouldn't even let you touch her. She obeyed her father's every word, and in the end your father-in-law tormented you half to death. Did she really love you? Was she still the Wang Dong'er you loved?"

Huo Yuhao fell silent. Thinking about it carefully, it did seem to be that way.

Ever since Wang Dong'er became Tang Wutong, she had suddenly become less close to him...

Seeing that Huo Yuhao remained silent, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked, "And Yuhao, you think you're devoted to one person, but you actually fell for three. If you don't believe me, tell me—who do you truly like? Tang Wutong? Wang Dong'er? Or Wang Qiuer?"

Huo Yuhao subconsciously said, "The one I like is obviously Wu..."

Remembering Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words, Huo Yuhao wavered and said, "Dong..."

Before he could finish saying "Dong'er," Huo Yuhao thought of Wang Qiuer again. He owed Wang Qiuer so much, and he did like her too. So in the end, he said, "Qiu..."

He did not even finish saying Qiu'er's name, because Huo Yuhao thought of Tang Wutong again...

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm burst out laughing. "Yuhao, who is Wu-Dong-Qiu?"

"..." Huo Yuhao was speechless for a moment, then gave a bitter smile. "Brother Sky Dream, you really do see people clearly."

In his previous life, he had not thought so deeply about it. He believed that since Tang Wutong was Wang Dong'er, he should love Tang Wutong the same way he loved Wang Dong'er. But that was not the case.

Tang Wutong was already an entirely new personality. Whether in terms of personality or her attitude toward him, Tang Wutong was not the Wang Dong'er who had loved him so deeply.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm conjured a hand and patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder. "So, Yuhao, there's no need to be sad over losing Tang Wutong. Ten thousand years ago, there are plenty of beautiful women. We're men who can become gods—are we supposed to be afraid no girls will like us?"

Huo Yuhao stayed silent. He could not change his way of thinking so quickly.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm added, "And you've finally escaped your father-in-law's clutches. Before, I didn't dare say much... His desire for control was far too strong. He nearly had you killed. If we're ahead of him now, then you absolutely must become a god before he does."

"Haha... Take his God Seat and become a God King. Then he won't dare torment you like that anymore!"

Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly. "Brother Sky Dream, I actually think it was alright. After all, Father-in-law only wanted me to grow better..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sneered. "Ice Empress, Elder Yi, and I also wanted what was best for you. But did we ever torment you?"

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also knew that Huo Yuhao was kindhearted and would not maliciously speculate about others. He had not intended to change Huo Yuhao's mind all at once, so he changed the subject. "What a shame. This is ten thousand years ago, so Elder Yi definitely isn't here..."

The moment he finished speaking, a bolt of thunder exploded from the clear sky, and an overwhelming pressure descended from above.

A gray current of air suddenly emerged from somewhere in space and flew straight toward Huo Yuhao without stopping. In almost the blink of an eye, it burrowed into the back of Huo Yuhao's head.

An exceedingly blurry figure appeared in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness. An aged voice carried an indescribable majesty. "With sun and moon in hand, I pluck stars from the heavens; in this world, there is none like me. I never expected this old man to retain even a wisp of remnant soul."

"Elder Yi!"

Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cried out in delight.

In Huo Yuhao's previous life, Electrolux had helped him immensely. Both Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm held Electrolux in deep respect and admiration. Though this Old Man had lived a tragic life, he had always retained a sliver of light within his heart. During Huo Yuhao's growth, he had been both teacher and father to him.

Now that Electrolux had appeared, Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm both felt reassured, and their joy was naturally boundless.

But Electrolux ignored them entirely, vanishing directly into the depths of the Sea of Consciousness.

Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, one man and one worm, stared at each other in the Sea of Consciousness, both at a loss for words.

Huo Yuhao said, "I remember that in my previous life, Elder Yi also slept for a long time at first before gradually recovering his memories."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nodded. "That's right. Once Elder Yi recovers his memories, we can have a proper talk with him... Haha, I really am the chosen one. Even Elder Yi couldn't be reborn with his memories, yet I was. We brothers are the protagonists of this era!"

After a pause, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued, "Yuhao, now that you've returned to childhood, my spiritual power has been split into two parts as well. The part of me in your Sea of Consciousness traveled here from ten thousand years in the future. Another part remains in the Star Dou Great Forest, and that should be the spiritual power of my original body in this era. My original body hasn't been captured by Di Tian and the others yet, so it possesses the energy of a true Million-Year Soul Beast... Yuhao, what level are you now? Can you go to the Star Dou Great Forest alone?"

Huo Yuhao asked, "Brother Sky Dream, do you want to become my Wisdom Soul Ring just like in our previous life?"

"Of course!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said. "The first time I became a Wisdom Soul Ring, I was a little nervous. Now, I'm completely confident I can succeed. And with Elder Yi's and my help, you'll definitely become a god too. Let's join hands again and create new glory!"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and said, "But Brother Sky Dream, I'm only level one. Going to the Star Dou Great Forest would be far too dangerous. Even at level ten, it would still be very dangerous... Where in the Star Dou Great Forest is your original body? I'll see if I can try when I'm around level twenty."

"In the core region..." After saying that, both Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao fell silent.

Going to the core region? Forget it. Were they going there to obtain a Wisdom Soul Ring, or to serve as food for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

"Then what about the Wisdom Soul Ring..." After the silence, Huo Yuhao grew worried. This was far more difficult than the start of his previous life. Back then, at level ten, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had voluntarily become his Wisdom Soul Ring. At level twenty, he had gained the Extreme Ice Ice Empress martial soul, along with a Million-Year Soul Ring and a Four-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Now, Huo Yuhao would have difficulty even obtaining his first Wisdom Soul Ring, much less the Extreme Ice Ice Empress martial soul.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pondered for a moment, then said, "Yuhao, you don't need to worry about the Wisdom Soul Ring. Even without my original body's energy, I can still become your Soul Ring. It's just that your Soul Ring won't have the potential to grow for now. Only after we find my original body and absorb its energy will your Soul Ring gain that potential."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he had a Wisdom Soul Ring, it was enough. Without Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's original body's energy, the Soul Ring's age could not grow, but that was not an urgent matter.

The most important things now were obtaining Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Wisdom Soul Ring and finding Ice Empress, persuading her to become his second martial soul, so that he could possess the Extreme Ice Ice Empress martial soul!

"The Wisdom Soul Ring will be easy to handle, but your second martial soul, Yuhao..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked conflicted. "Ice Empress has a bad temper. In our previous life, it took great effort before she developed feelings for me, but now she's back to how she used to be... Ten thousand years later, Ice Empress was about to face the Heavenly Tribulation, so it was easier to persuade her. With less than a hundred years left to live, why not take a gamble? But now, she still has more than ten thousand years before the Heavenly Tribulation. Even if we talked until our mouths dried up, she'd probably find it hard to agree..."

Huo Yuhao was much more open-minded about it and said with a smile, "Brother Sky Dream, you don't need to feel burdened. It would naturally be best if we succeed, but even if we don't, we still have a high chance of becoming gods. With you and Elder Yi here, I'm not afraid of anything!"
