Purpose Achieved, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Was Moved

The words fell.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's round, plump head froze, and a humanlike look of shock appeared on its face.

Its entire first half of life had been summarized in just a few sentences. Wasn't that a little too careless?

"Gulp~"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to swallow, its voice trembling heavily. "Bro... you're the real bro. Just who are you?"

"I come from the Far North."

"By the rules, you should address me as Young Master. Of course, that is only a title for now; in terms of strength, I have yet to earn the words 'Young Master.'"

Xue Nianbing spoke calmly.

"The Young Master of the Far North?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm paused, clearly having never heard of him.

However, judging by how imposing the other party seemed, it actually sounded somewhat believable.

"Do you know what this is?"

Xue Nianbing pressed his joined index and middle fingers against his brow.

Immediately afterward, an Ice Snow Crown composed of three-dimensional pale blue diamond shapes appeared above his head. Light flowed across it as though reflecting off its surface.

"This aura is..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mind jolted. An instinctive urge to submit arose within it, and it looked fearfully at the Ice Snow Crown.

Before, it had only been suspicious and believed a few parts.

But now, it believed him.

The Xue Nianbing before it was definitely closely connected to the master of the Far North. There was an eighty or ninety percent chance that he truly was the "Young Master of the Extreme North."

Thinking of this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not help but feel reverence.

"Bro, then have you heard of the Snow Empress?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked tentatively.

Xue Nianbing withdrew the Ice Snow Crown and frankly said, "Xue'er is my woman."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's chubby body trembled at those words, and it cried out, "Holy shit, bro, you're incredible. You're amazing."

The Lord of the Extreme North was actually Xue Nianbing's woman!

My heavens, that was too shocking.

What Young Master of the Extreme North? He was clearly the future master of the Far North.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm remained stunned, then suddenly remembered something and asked expectantly, "Y-Young Master, then you must know the Ice Empress too."

Its voice carried a fawning undertone.

To learn the Ice Empress's whereabouts, it had even addressed him as Young Master.

"Bing'er is the same."

Xue Nianbing's Golden Eyes shimmered, his gaze immensely oppressive.

Crack!

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked as though it had been struck by lightning, utterly dazed and dispirited.

Even when Xue Nianbing had revealed its past, and even when it had learned that he was the Young Master of the Extreme North, its mind had not suffered such a tremendous impact.

No—!

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wailed inwardly, miserable beyond measure.

It felt as though everything before its eyes had lost its color, as though all strength had been drained from its body.

The weakness brought by this matter was many times stronger than the feeling of having its energy devoured by several Fierce Beasts.

"Bing'er sees you as food, nothing more."

"I came here and told you so much not to show off, nor to deliberately crush you. I came because I have my eye on your Million Year Soul Ring."

"Follow me. If I become a god in the future, I promise you a Godhood... a chance at immortality."

"What do you say?"

Xue Nianbing spoke without beating around the bush.

The Million Year Soul Ring was not the fundamental purpose of his trip.

However, if he had a chance to obtain it, he would not let it slip away.

"Become a god!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seized upon the key words.

Because that was also the future it had planned for itself.

"You don't even have a spiritual attribute, so why should I believe you?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice carried a hint of anger. Clearly, it still harbored resentment over something.

Rumble!

At that moment, the sky, which had been exceptionally clear just a second ago, suddenly darkened, followed by a thunderous boom.

The dim sky formed a vortex.

"It's here."

A sharp gleam flashed through Xue Nianbing's eyes, and he felt somewhat expectant.

He glanced at the still-dazed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and said flatly, "Whether you believe me or not is up to you. It's not as though I absolutely need a Million Year Soul Ring."

After saying that, Xue Nianbing ignored Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and instead walked over to the unconscious Huo Yuhao, preparing to intercept what was coming.

Boom!

The next second, a pressure that felt like a giant hand gripping everyone's hearts descended abruptly.

A stream of gray air shot out from the vortex and plunged straight down.

Xue Nianbing had thought it would fly toward Huo Yuhao, but unexpectedly, its target from the beginning seemed to be him.

The gray stream of air burrowed into Xue Nianbing's mind. Even the Ice Snow Crown failed to detect it.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was shocked to discover a blurry figure behind Xue Nianbing gradually fading away.

It came looking for me on its own. Could it be that I replaced Huo Yuhao as the Child of Destiny, or is my fortune even stronger than Huo Yuhao's?

Xue Nianbing felt somewhat disappointed, then looked toward the gray stream of air that had already entered his Sea of Consciousness.

"With my hand, I pluck the Sun Moon Empire and stars; there has never been one like me in this world. I never thought this old man would still retain a trace of his remnant soul."

An extremely ancient voice rang out in Xue Nianbing's Sea of Consciousness.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, the mysterious Ice Blue Light Cluster in Xue Nianbing's Sea of Consciousness stirred again.

It seemed to have noticed the arrival of a "new friend."

Just like its previous reaction, the light cluster released Ice Blue mist once more. In an instant, it enveloped the gray stream of air.

"Eh?"

The gray stream of air seemed to let out a soft cry of surprise, but quickly fell silent again.

Xue Nianbing carefully sensed the situation, only to find the result unexpected.

This mist is actually nourishing Electrolux's damaged divine soul, and... it is under my control?

He could clearly sense the connection between himself and the gray stream of air.

In other words, he could nourish Electrolux's remnant soul, or extinguish that trace of soul.

Its life and death rested on a single thought from him.

Moreover, Xue Nianbing could restrict its freedom, including its perception of the outside world.

"This Ice Blue Light Cluster is truly mysterious."

"However, judging from everything so far, all of it has benefited me. It even seems more like it is helping me grow."

Xue Nianbing smiled happily.

He watched Electrolux's remnant soul for a while before leaving his Sea of Consciousness.

When he came back to his senses, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was still staring blankly at him.

Xue Nianbing continued, "The commotion here will soon alert others. Have you made your decision?"

"..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fell silent.

It had witnessed Xue Nianbing absorb that terrifying remnant soul and knew full well how mysterious he was.

Although Xue Nianbing did not possess a spiritual attribute, in terms of talent, strength, background, and everything else, he was clearly superior to Huo Yuhao, who lay on the ground.

If one wanted to "create a god," Xue Nianbing was undoubtedly the best choice.

"Will you keep your word?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was moved.

"I do not make promises lightly," Xue Nianbing replied.

"Alright!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm made up its mind. Just as it was about to act, it remembered something and added, "I have one more condition."

"Go ahead, though I may not agree."

Xue Nianbing nodded slightly without immediately agreeing.

Hearing that, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pondered for a moment before saying, "You must treat the Ice Empress well."

Xue Nianbing: "..."

Why was a one-sided simp like you butting in?

The Ice Empress had regarded you as food from beginning to end. She had never had even the slightest thought about you.
