First Soldiers, Then Ceremony, A Divine Assist from Xiao Wu

"Elder Yue Guan, Elder Gui Mei, the habitat of that Ice Silkworm should be right here."

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo did not waste any time with idle chatter.

Ghost Douluo, in particular, possessed unique insights when it came to soul detection.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could use its mental power to conceal its existence, but it could not hide its soul.

After a thorough investigation by Gui Mei, he indeed discovered a faint soul aura hidden beneath this wasteland.

"Little Ye, it is indeed down there, but it seems to have fallen into a deep slumber. What would you have us do?"

Gui Mei was indecisive at this moment; after all, no matter how weak the target was, it was still a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. If it truly fought them to the death, while they might not lose their lives, they would certainly be injured.

"Elder Yue Guan, Elder Gui Mei, just make a big enough commotion. Once you see it appear, you must immediately unleash your Martial Soul Fusion Skill. I need to negotiate with it."

That was correct.

This was Ye Xuan's true objective.

Even if the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wanted to escape in a short time, it would be absolutely impossible against the Polar Static Domain of the two Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos.

All he needed to do was persuade it to offer itself as a sacrifice while it was trapped.

Of course.

He did not have a one-hundred-percent guarantee.

If it really didn't work out, he would simply take the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos to tear down Tang Hao's old home.

He would subdue Ah Yin while taking away that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

"Very well."

The Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos were not the type to dawdle; being overly cautious would only result in missing a golden opportunity.

"Ye Xuan, Xiao Wu, you two find a place to hide. Once we have it under control, you can come out."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei were both clear-headed; the talent Ye Xuan had displayed by now could be said to have already surpassed Hu Liena.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Gathering of Cold Blossoms!!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo did not hesitate in the slightest, directly unleashing the soul power of a ninety-fourth-level Titled Douluo and blasting his fifth soul skill toward the center of the wasteland.

CRASH--!!

The terrifying energy fluctuations detonated the ground. As the explosion subsided, the wasteland before them had been transformed into a lifeless crater.

Gui Mei, who had been keeping his focus on the underground, sensed that the soul below had been startled awake by Chrysanthemum Douluo's actions.

Seeing this, Gui Mei and Chrysanthemum Douluo exchanged a glance.

Clearly, they understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

At that very moment, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which had been hiding beneath the ground, transformed into a streak of fierce ice-blue light and shot straight out.

"Can't a brother just get some sleep around here? Why are you tearing down my house?! Damn it!! Titled Douluos! And there are two of them!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was clearly suffering from a bad case of morning grumpiness, but when it saw that the ones disturbing its sleep were two Titled Douluos with formidable auras, its fragile little heart nearly stopped from fright.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Polar Static Domain!!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo did not give the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm a chance to escape. Almost the instant it appeared, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill locked onto it, pinning it in place and rendering it unable to move.

"Damn it!! It's actually a space-locking domain-type Martial Soul Fusion Skill! I'm just a useless silkworm, is all this really necessary?!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was clearly panicking now.

One had to know that although it was a million-year-level soul beast, because the Ice Silkworm race possessed absolutely no means of attack, its actual combat power was not even comparable to a ten-thousand-year soul beast with a strong bloodline.

Just as the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was left in a state of disarray within the barrier, Ye Xuan and Xiao Wu emerged from behind the trees.

The two of them stood at the edge of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, lifting their gazes toward the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Naturally, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm noticed them as well.

However.

In the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's perception, the soul power fluctuations emanating from Xiao Wu were identical to those of Ye Xuan, as if they were one and the same.

"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, I know that your origin is incomplete. I have come here today because I want to make a deal with you."

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes widened.

But soon, it realized that the reason these two Titled Douluos had restricted its movements was to create an opportunity for this little brat to speak with it.

"A deal? What do you mean by that?"

Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year cultivation had been gained through sleeping, if anyone truly took it for a fool, they would be in for a rude awakening.

"Your lifespan is at most ten thousand years, and I am well aware that you have great ambitions."

"The deal between you and me is actually quite simple: you sacrifice yourself to me, become my wisdom soul ring, and help me ascend to godhood. In the future, you shall share in my infinite lifespan."

As Ye Xuan uttered these words, the hearts of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo began to pound wildly.

They never could have imagined that this seemingly harmless little brat, Ye Xuan, would harbor such immense ambition!

Upon hearing his words, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm furrowed his brows.

"I need you to give me a reason to be convinced."

Godhood.

A million years of cultivation, the realm of gods.

He had once stumbled into that realm by pure chance.

Yet, in the end, he had lost his very essence and was forced to hide underground, clinging to a miserable existence.

"A reason?"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth.

"To be honest with you, I'm sure you've already sensed that there is something extraordinary about the girl standing beside me, haven't you?"

"Her true identity is a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit in human form. By a stroke of fate, I subdued her and she became my first soul ring."

As he spoke, Ye Xuan produced the Pokeball branded with a crescent moon and, right before his eyes, recalled Xiao Wu.

Seeing this scene, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was deeply shocked.

Because he had never seen such an ability to subdue soul beasts for one's own use in any other soul master.

"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, you have lived here for a long time; I believe you must also be aware that there are two hundred-thousand-year beast kings residing within the Lake of Life."

"The hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit soul beast I have subdued has an excellent relationship with those two beast kings. I am confident that in the future, I will be able to bring them under my command as well."

Having said this, Ye Xuan raised his eyes to gaze into the eyes of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"I know your true identity, which is why I truly hope you can become my partner. If you still feel that the conditions I have proposed are insufficient, I can have them let you leave right now."

Just at this moment, Xiao Wu leaped directly out of the Pokeball.

"Hehe, big worm, actually, Big Sister Xiao Wu sensed you as early as three thousand years ago, but back then I just thought it was some rodent-type thousand-year soul beast digging holes underground."

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, the heart of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled completely.
