Asking Electrolux, Revival and Rebirth?

His consciousness entered the Sea of Consciousness again. Just as he was about to investigate further, he suddenly noticed the Gray Remnant Soul recuperating nearby.

I'm so stupid. There's already a powerful expert here—I can just ask him directly.

Xue Nianbing suddenly remembered that there was still a powerful expert within his Sea of Consciousness.

Under the nourishment of the Ice Blue Mist, this powerful expert's remnant soul had long since stabilized and would not dissipate.

He had already awakened.

He simply had not spoken.

"Old Yi."

Xue Nianbing called out.

The next moment, an indistinct phantom emerged from the Gray Remnant Soul. It carried both the warmth of holy light and the darkness of deathly silence.

"Xue Nianbing, you know me?" Electrolux asked doubtfully.

He had only awakened yesterday under the nourishment of the Ice Blue Mist. Yet he had remained silent, learning about this world through Xue Nianbing's perspective.

Xue Nianbing knew this as well, but he had anticipated Electrolux's actions.

After all, it was better to understand things himself than have someone else explain them.

"Mm."

Xue Nianbing nodded, then changed the subject. "Old Yi, I want to ask you—what is its current condition?"

As soon as he spoke.

Electrolux did not continue questioning why Xue Nianbing knew him. Instead, he extended his Divine Sense into Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body.

A moment later.

Electrolux said, "Under the nourishment of this Ice Blue Mist, the Big-Brained Silkworm has undergone a slight transformation. Do you know about... Beast Taming?"

Big-Brained Silkworm???

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately became furious upon hearing that name.

It was fine when Xue Nianbing called him that. After all, Xue Nianbing was the legitimate Young Master of the Extreme North and had certain privileges.

But what was with this old man?

A warrior could be killed, but not humiliated. He, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, absolutely could not accept such humiliation.

Hmph. Once I can beat you, I'll definitely show you how formidable I am.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm secretly thought.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—don't mock a poor Big-Brained Silkworm.

"Beast Taming?"

Xue Nianbing paused in surprise before asking, "Old Yi, do you mean the kind of Beast Taming I understand, where one can summon pets to fight?"

"You can understand it that way."

Electrolux's phantom nodded. "However, your Beast Taming method is somewhat unusual. The Big-Brained Silkworm's body is being reshaped bit by bit."

"This allows it to freely switch between physical and soul forms, and you can also control any of its actions."

"The Big-Brained Silkworm's current bodily energy should be what your world calls a Ten-Year Soul Beast. However, it can continue growing with the help of the Ice Blue Mist."

Although only a wisp of his remnant soul remained, Electrolux's discernment was still intact, allowing him to see many things.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had no secrets before him.

Upon hearing Electrolux's words, Xue Nianbing immediately understood.

In other words, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had been revived and had become his "Beast Taming pet." However, this "Beast Taming pet" no longer had a "level" and had to start "leveling up" all over again.

And rather than calling it "leveling up," it would be more accurate to say it was "leveling up" while lying down.

After all, its "experience points" came from the Ice Blue Mist in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Since that's the case..."

Xue Nianbing pondered for a moment and could not help examining Electrolux's condition.

Electrolux saw what Xue Nianbing was thinking and explained, "My situation differs from that of the Big-Brained Silkworm. Although I am a remnant soul, I am ultimately still a wisp of Divine Sense. The quality is different."

"For now, I can only exist in soul form. If I wish to obtain a physical body, I will need several more years."

"Xue Nianbing, I must thank you as well. If not for the nourishment from the object in your Sea of Consciousness, my hopes of rebirth would have been distant indeed."

The mist produced by the Ice Blue Light Cluster in Xue Nianbing's Sea of Consciousness was several times more extraordinary than even that of a god.

Although being reborn through it would leave him bound by Xue Nianbing.

Being alive was the greatest success of all.

"You're too polite, Old Yi. Saving a god is equivalent to giving myself a powerful backer. This can also be considered a transaction."

Xue Nianbing smiled, unconcerned.

On the contrary, he was quite pleased.

The thought of having a god as his backer in a few years was exciting.

With the God Realm sealed off, apart from the one in Star Dou Great Forest who was severely injured and sleeping, Electrolux was an invincible existence.

Xue Nianbing pointed at the Ice Blue Light Cluster and asked, "Old Yi, with your Divine Sense, can you tell what exactly is inside?"

"I cannot see it clearly."

Electrolux shook his head, but quickly changed the subject. "I can only vaguely make out a scaled creature inside... like this."

With a casual wave of his hand, Electrolux slowly formed an image before Xue Nianbing.

The image was hazy and indistinct. The creature's complete appearance could not be seen at all; only the Ice Blue fan-shaped scales on its body could barely be made out.

"A type of Soul Beast?"

Xue Nianbing fell into deep thought.

"Perhaps one day in the future, once this Ice Blue Mist thins somewhat, I will be able to see its complete form," Electrolux said.

"Mm, that is all we can do."

Xue Nianbing nodded slightly and set his thoughts aside.

To thin the Ice Blue Mist, he needed to make use of it—in other words, cultivate.

Xue Nianbing spoke with Electrolux for a while longer, then prepared to leave the Sea of Consciousness with his thoughts.

At that moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sidled over with a grin. "Young Master, can we discuss something?"

"No."

"Young Master, I haven't even said what it is yet."

"Because I won't agree to anything."

"..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately fell silent, not knowing what to do.

After a long while.

Xue Nianbing slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, you don't want to remain in the Sea of Consciousness forever. You want to go out and take a look, don't you?"

"Young Master, you're so smart."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes lit up, and anticipation crept into his voice.

"You want to go out that badly?" Xue Nianbing's eyes shifted slightly as an idea came to him.

"Mm, mm, mm."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nodded his little head.

Though he liked sleeping, sleeping forever was no solution. It was truly too boring.

"How about this? I'll give you a task—or rather... find you a 'new master.'" Xue Nianbing said with a smile.

"A new master?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately panicked. He quickly wriggled before Xue Nianbing, sobbing dramatically, "Young Master, this brainless—no, this silkworm can't live without you! Please don't abandon me!"

Having experienced the benefits of the object in Xue Nianbing's Sea of Consciousness, he had no desire to leave at all.

What he wanted was to occasionally go out for a stroll, not run away from home.

Xue Nianbing: "..."

Watching a Big-Brained Silkworm cry miserably before him without shedding a single tear was honestly rather fake...

Well, perhaps a Big-Brained Silkworm simply had no tears.

"Enough, stop howling."

"'New master' is only a manner of speaking. Mainly, I want you to 'help' him and aid his growth. His Martial Soul has a spiritual attribute, which happens to be your area of expertise."

Xue Nianbing said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, inspiration flashed through Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mind. He immediately thought of a certain youth. "Young Master, do you mean that one called Huo Yuhao?"
