Huo Yuhao closed the Light Screen in the Sea of Consciousness. Tian Meng lay peacefully within it like burnt ash, seeming a little dead.

Huo Yuhao summoned the Color of the Stars from the Sea of Consciousness and poked Tian Meng on the ground.

"All right, take a deep breath and relax. It's just a little social death. It was bound to happen sooner or later, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Tian Meng slapped the Color of the Stars away, sat up, and said in utter grief:

"You saw everything?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. There was no need to hide something like this.

"I saw everything, including how you fell into an ice crevice, found the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, and ate your way up to nine hundred thousand years."

"Then you fell into the Ocean, made your way onto land, got captured by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and failed in your attempt to save yourself."

"Then the big guys among the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest's Core Circle thoroughly investigated you."

"They squeezed every last drop out of you."

Tian Meng's face instantly turned red, and he cried out:

"It was just a mistake! How could what happened with a Million-Year Soul Beast count as being squeezed dry? I was only enduring it for the moment, afraid of causing too much slaughter."

At his words, even Electrolux, who had barely shown any presence until now, could not help but laugh.

The entire Sea of Consciousness was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Tian Meng could no longer take it and hurriedly changed the subject. "All right, let's not talk about that."

"Since you've seen my memories, you should know what I want to do, right?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. "You want to create a god."

"Then stay with Bingbing forever."

"Though I think that's a little unrealistic."

Hearing this, Tian Meng said in resignation:

"All right, you really do know everything. Then let's speak frankly."

"That's right. One of the main purposes of my God Creation Plan is to stay with Bingbing forever."

"But I absolutely bear you no ill will."

"After all, I'm already your subordinate."

Huo Yuhao agreed with that.

Whether it was based on the original story or on Tian Meng's current willingness to voluntarily give up his Spiritual Origin, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm truly had nothing but good intentions toward him.

Perhaps his actions carried selfish motives, but so what?

Who did not have selfish motives? No one was a saint.

As long as he was willing to stand by Huo Yuhao's side and help him without holding anything back, Huo Yuhao could naturally tolerate his selfishness.

"Of course. I believe you, Brother Sky Dream."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately burst into tears, then suddenly remembered that he did not even know the other party's name.

"Right, what's your name?"

"I originally wanted to sense some of your memories through your Sea of Consciousness."

"But something completely blocked off my Spiritual Power, so I still don't even know your name."

"Huo Yuhao. My name is Huo Yuhao."

Tian Meng nodded and revealed a brilliant smile.

"Then, little Yuhao, I'll be relying on you in the future. I'm betting everything I have on you."

"Now, let me introduce you to something. The ten spheres of light floating above your head are my Spiritual Origin."

"Million-year Spiritual Origin!"

"My origin seems to have been captured by that eye. You should be able to use it directly."

Huo Yuhao nodded. "That is the projection of my Martial Soul. It transmitted the relevant information to me."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm clicked his tongue in amazement. Not only was the quality of Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power extremely high, but his Martial Soul was also so special.

"My Soul Ring can give you four Soul Skills. Because the fusion was rather rushed, those four Soul Skills have not formed yet."

"If you have any requests, tell me. I'll do my best to meet them."

"I can't give you a Soul Bone, but I can give you a Martial Soul—ice without a soul!"

"Whatever Soul Beast your first Ice Attribute Soul Ring comes from, that is what this Martial Soul will be."

"Though I already have an idea."

Huo Yuhao looked at him indifferently. "The Ice Empress, right?"

In truth, he did not care at all whether he had a Second Martial Soul. For him right now, a Second Martial Soul was icing on the cake, not something that came to his rescue in a snowstorm.

With Alchemy, he had ways to gain control over ice elements, and could even use ice elements as a stepping stone to obtain every element.

The Silver Dragon King was known as Little Huo Yuhao.

Tian Meng immediately looked a little disappointed.

"All right, I wanted to give you a surprise."

"But don't worry. I'm completely confident that I can persuade the Ice Empress. Just watch my performance when the time comes."

"All right, tell me what requirements you have for your Soul Skills."

"Heh heh, custom Soul Skills are something only a Million-Year Soul Beast like your Brother Sky Dream can provide."

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up as he began considering the Soul Skills he wanted. Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing from the original story needed to be kept.

Spiritual Interference was too useless. Spiritual Sharing could fully achieve similar effects.

Soul Shock was even more pointless. It was better to just give someone a look with Tsukuyomi.

After a long while, Huo Yuhao looked at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and said, "Brother Sky Dream, I've always been troubled by the fact that although my Spiritual Power is enormous, it has always remained Formless and Qualityless."

"Is there any way for me to use my Spiritual Power to interfere with the outside world at this stage?"

Tian Meng thought for a moment. "Theoretically, to make Spiritual Power interfere with the outside world and reach the realm of Formed and Quality..."

"Mm... how about Telekinesis?"

"Such an ability exists in the records of my origin. Although my main body can't use it, I can grant you this Soul Skill."

"Telekinesis..."

This ability could be called universally useful. Its lower limit was high, its upper limit was high as well, and it could help him draw Runes.

It was an excellent draw.

"Right, there's also a record in my origin of an ability that appeared when I became a Million-Year Soul Beast."

"Unfortunately, I had already been drained dry by then, so I couldn't use it at all."

"This ability is called Spiritual Endowment."

"It grants your Spiritual Power to all things, turning them into extensions of your mind and pseudo-living beings, which can then be controlled through Spiritual Power."

"Of course, the target must be soulless matter."

Huo Yuhao's brow twitched. Well, wasn't this Inorganic Reincarnation?

"This one! Brother Sky Dream!"

"Make the other two Soul Skills detection-type as much as possible."

Tian Meng nodded, indicating that it was no problem.

"All right, I'll start giving you the Soul Skills and Martial Soul."

In the outside world, the Shadow Cat sat beside Huo Yuhao on guard. It noticed that Huo Yuhao's golden Soul Ring had appeared on its own.

Then it Bloomed with dazzling light. The Shadow Cat immediately activated its Spinosaurus form and began hissing, its entire body on high alert.

But after discovering that nothing was wrong with Huo Yuhao, it slowly returned to its seated position and continued watching the other Soul Beasts vigilantly.

It did not take long before Huo Yuhao received the information from the Soul Ring. Information on four Soul Skills appeared in his mind.

"Spiritual Detection, Spiritual Sharing, Telekinesis, Spiritual Endowment."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's satisfied expression, Tian Meng placed his hands on his hips and said, "Little Yuhao, what do you think of my Soul Skills?"

Huo Yuhao beamed with delight. "Brother Sky Dream, your Soul Skills are the most useful!"

"Hmph, hmph."

"Just who do you think I am?"

"With my help, you'll definitely become a god!"

Tian Meng said proudly.

At that moment, the Gray Sphere floating above the Sea of Consciousness spoke.

"A god?"

"Hehe, this little fellow beside you is far from human, but very close to a god."

"Half-human, half-god? No, something even purer than that."

"He is a naturally high-order existence."
