Fate's Guidance

"Ouch, this little guy's body is quite good, and pretty sturdy too."

"The meridians' toughness is also fine. Looks like I can carefully pick out my Soul Skills!"

"Hahaha!"

A powerful and invisible spiritual fluctuation, the moment the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao combined, covered an area of several hundred miles.

"Wahaha, from now on, the sky's the limit! Bye-bye to all you guys who treated me as food!"

The fusion of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao reached its final stage, Huo Yuhao's entire body transformed into a human sculpture carved from jade.

When the spiritual power that had spread to the surroundings dissipated, a circle of platinum-white Soul Rings slowly appeared, then merged into Huo Yuhao's body.

Within a dreamlike, illusory white jade space, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes. Before him, a chubby silkworm was staring at him.

"Human, you're finally awake." The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words were clearly filled with surprise.

"What is this? Where is this?" Huo Yuhao pretended to be completely bewildered.

"This is the spiritual space within your brain, also your sea of consciousness. It was just too small, so I generously expanded it for you."

"No need to thank me. This is what I, as the first spiritual intelligent Soul Ring on the continent, should do."

"How is it? Are you smitten with me!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's several chubby little hands moved incessantly, looking quite smug.

Sister? Did the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm turn into a girl? Looking at the smug little ice silkworm, Huo Yuhao continued to feign ignorance, "Then who exactly are you?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's small mouth turned up, "That's a good question."

"Although I introduced myself outside, the situation was urgent then. Here, you'd better listen carefully."

...All of the above is my history of struggle. What do you think? Isn't it very inspiring.

"Wait, Sister Tian Meng, I have a question for you." Huo Yuhao raised his hand.

"Go ahead." The self-absorbed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was still lost in its own world and hadn't emerged.

"Since you're already so powerful, what is your purpose in seeking me out?" Huo Yuhao asked.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's face instantly turned serious, "That's a very good question."

"As I said, I am a million-year Soul Beast. But that final Heavenly Tribulation, with my origin almost dried up, I had no way to overcome it."

"And I chose you to achieve my ultimate goal—Godhood."

"Godhood!"

"That's right. As the first million-year intelligent Soul Ring, do you know how much benefit I've brought you?" The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm raised its round head high.

"In terms of Soul Skills from the Soul Ring, I've brought you four Soul Skills, all carefully selected by me."

"More importantly, I've also bestowed upon you an intangible Ice Martial Soul."

"Simply put, I've given you the foundation to awaken a second Martial Soul. When you reach your second ring, come with me to the Extreme North, and you'll understand completely."

"Little guy, your talent is excellent. With my blessing, you're like a flood dragon entering the sea."

"Alright, I'm very tired today from helping you successfully fuse with my spiritual origin. You should go out first."

Before Huo Yuhao could react, he felt a dizzying sensation.

Huo Yuhao clutched his forehead and got up from the ground, shaking his head to clear his mind.

Looking at the quiet surroundings, Huo Yuhao helped Uncle Mo up from the ground.

"Um, your name is Huo Yuhao, right?" A voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Under the guidance of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao successfully began communicating with it.

"How do you know my name? I don't remember introducing myself."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice carried a hint of embarrassment, "Sister, I forgot to tell you, I copied a part of your memories from the past six years."

Huo Yuhao froze. Six years. It seemed his past life memories hadn't been exposed. It was good that they hadn't.

"What's wrong? Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, is there something you need me for?"

"Um, could you call me Sister Tian Meng? I'm much older than you, after all." The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice held a trace of anticipation.

"Okay, Sister Tian Meng, what do you need me for?" Huo Yuhao said.

"That white skin next to you, yes, that's right, this is my molted skin. It has powerful concealment and defensive functions."

"Take it with you. When we go to the Extreme North, this thing will be very useful."

Huo Yuhao picked up the Sky Dream Molted Skin from the ground. This thing was a treasure. Even if the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hadn't said so, Huo Yuhao would have taken it.

He helped Uncle Mo up and put the Sky Dream Molted Skin into his storage belt.

This storage belt was something Huo Yuhao's cheap old dad had distributed to his sons after winning a battle.

This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, apart from the remnant soul of that man not coming, could be considered a complete success.

Huo Yuhao helped the unconscious Uncle Mo up, preparing to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Go deeper!"

What sound was that? Huo Yuhao looked around, but there was no one, nor any Soul Beasts.

"Go deeper!"

His heart suddenly leaped violently, and a strong urge to head to the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest rose in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Huo Yuhao suppressed this thought, only to find his heart filled with immense disappointment.

Could it be? Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth. After obtaining Tian Meng's consent, he wrapped Uncle Mo in the Sky Dream Molted Skin and hid him in a patch of grass.

Huo Yuhao ran non-stop towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Hey, Yuhao, that's not the way out of the Star Dou Great Forest! What are you doing?"

After running wildly for nearly three minutes, Huo Yuhao arrived at a clearing surrounded by towering trees, where the light was dimmer.

The feeling in Huo Yuhao's heart grew stronger and stronger; something here was attracting him.

Just then, a lithe figure leaped out from a dense patch of grass in front of Huo Yuhao.

The newcomer was a Soul Beast, standing over three meters tall. Her entire body was covered in a layer of radiant, beautiful, crystal-like golden fur.

Her overall form resembled a lion, with claws on her paws that touched the ground, like dragon claws. A layer of golden flame rested on each dragon claw.

This Soul Beast had golden eyes, and on her forehead, there was a red vertical pupil, giving her a rather mystical appearance.

"Three-Eyed Golden Lion! Yuhao, run quickly, or we'll all be finished."

Huo Yuhao didn't respond to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. The moment his gaze met the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes.

His entire being became somewhat dazed, and his body uncontrollably moved towards the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion wasn't faring any better compared to Huo Yuhao's state. She extended her slender limbs and also moved towards Huo Yuhao.

As soon as their consciousness returned, Huo Yuhao and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion discovered that their foreheads were pressed tightly together.

The instant their foreheads touched, a peculiar golden power surged from both of them, beginning to intertwine and merge.

Huo Yuhao felt a tickling sensation on his forehead, as if something was growing.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt a bit dizzy. Why did this human possess the same power of destiny as her?
