The First Gods Lead the Later Gods!

Even if the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were truly as useless as trash, and its combat ability as pathetic as it gets, its soul power and age are set in stone. Once it successfully advances and reaches the million-year level, it might actually be able to become a god on the spot!

However, Lin Fan does not intend to let the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm advance right now.

After all, the two of them have only known each other for a short time. What if the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm becomes a god and slips out of his control?

Lin Fan is not about to do something so foolish!

Time slowly trickled by.

As Lin Fan and his group traveled by carriage, putting the Star Dou Forest far behind them, that surging pressure of soul power finally vanished completely.

Dugu Yan and Gu Chen also finished absorbing their soul rings.

It must be said that the soul rings Lin Fan sold are truly effortless to absorb; not only is there no pain, but the absorption speed is also incredibly fast.

Seeing this, Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes shimmered, and her heart filled with growing anticipation. What kind of soul ring would she be able to buy from Lin Fan?

After Dugu Yan woke up, she was extremely exhilarated, urging everyone to head toward Suotuo City to wait for their reunion with Qin Ming and the others, intending to give them a massive surprise.

After all, the improvement the Thorn Dragon brought her was immense!

The soul skill granted by the Thorn Dragon soul ring is the Thorn Domain. It not only restricts the movements of enemies but also grants her a counter-attack effect, allowing her to reflect the damage she sustains back onto her attackers.

Coupled with the toxicity of the Jade Jade Dragon, the reflection effect becomes even more terrifying!

If an opponent attacks Dugu Yan, they will end up poisoned themselves. With their movements also restricted, they will find themselves unable to win, unable to flee, and trapped in a state of utter despair.

As for Gu Chen, it goes without saying. With Twin Martial Souls and obtaining soul rings for both simultaneously, the improvement is significant. Furthermore, with Sun-Moon Symbiosis, the power unleashed when she uses them together is astonishing; it is likely that even an ordinary Soul Elder would be no match for her.

Although she cannot compare to Lin Fan, who can suppress several Soul Elders while still at the Soul Grand Master realm, compared to other soul masters, her talent is already considered extraordinary.

This left Qian Ying feeling incredibly excited, and her attitude toward Lin Fan grew even better as a result.

If she were to return to the family behind her parents now, Lin Fan probably wouldn't even need to display much talent to become the most pampered person in both great families.

"What a pity. I originally wanted to be a second-generation soul master, but I never expected that after catching a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I wouldn't need them at all. I'm practically invincible already."

"It's too hard. Why is it so difficult to just be a second-generation soul master, eat and wait for death, and enjoy life every day?"

Suotuo City is not far from the Star Dou Forest, and Lin Fan's group arrived there very quickly.

At this point, Lin Qingfeng and Dugu Bo chose to take their leave.

Dugu Bo is, after all, a consultant for the Heaven Dou Empire royal family; even without many restrictions, he cannot stay outside indefinitely.

Lin Qingfeng, meanwhile, needed to return home to handle family affairs.

Consequently, Lin Fan was left with the group of girls. After confirming there was no danger in the area and helping them book rooms, she also departed from Suotuo City.

Now that Gu Chen's body had recovered, she certainly needed to inform her family and Gu Chen's father of the news.

Once those adults left, Lin Fan and the others were completely free of constraints. They spent their days wandering around Suotuo City, and Lin Fan even bought a shop to start selling martial souls and soul rings.

He made money while waiting for the arrival of Qin Ming and the others.

Dugu Yan took Ye Lingling and Gu Chen to the Soul Fighting Arena, while Lin Fan found an opportunity to head to an empty area outside the city to summon the Titan Giant Ape.

Ever since capturing the Titan Giant Ape, he had left it ignored, locked away in a dark room. It was time to have a talk with it.

Furthermore, this place is not far from Shrek Academy; perhaps he could lure Xiao Wu out.

If he could manage to rope Xiao Wu in, Lin Fan would effectively have another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to protect him, or at the very least, he would gain another Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring and its matching soul bone!

Hum—

The Super Ball was thrown, and the massive body of the Titan Giant Ape landed instantly. In a flash, it turned its head, glaring at Lin Fan with eyes full of rage.

Yet, it could not strike at Lin Fan.

Moreover, it could sense that it had formed a contract with Lin Fan—the most extreme kind of contract.

If it died, Lin Fan would be perfectly fine, but if Lin Fan died, it would be utterly annihilated, body and soul!

"You... how exactly did you do it? With just a small ball, you signed that kind of contract with me?"

The Titan Giant Ape couldn't help but ask out loud, as in its perception, both Lin Fan and the aura of that Super Ball were extremely weak!

"Oh?"

Seeing the Titan Giant Ape suddenly flare up, Lin Fan was quite surprised, then chuckled lightly: "That's just how it was done. It seems you are a smart one, so let's skip the nonsense."

"Listen to me, and I will make you stronger—perhaps even give you the possibility of becoming a god! Besides, other than necessary battles, I won't interfere with you too much."

"If you don't listen to me, then... you can just stay in that little ball for the rest of your life."

Since the Titan Giant Ape didn't attack immediately, Lin Fan didn't mind negotiating a partnership with it.

In any case, the initiative was in his own hands.

Whether the Titan Giant Ape agreed or not, it couldn't stir up any trouble.

Hearing this, the Titan Giant Ape fell silent.

With its pride, it would rather die than let anyone command it!

But at this moment, the Sky Azure Bull Python and Xiao Wu were still alive, and it didn't want to die—not to mention, Lin Fan had claimed he could help it become a god!

Having reached the pinnacle of this world, who wouldn't dream of becoming a god?

"Is this true?"

The Titan Giant Ape said in a deep voice, "Is it not said that it is difficult for a Spirit Beast to become a god?"

"That is correct."

Lin Fan chuckled lightly, "It is indeed difficult for a Spirit Beast to become a god, but as long as you assist me in attaining godhood, once I become a god, won't I be able to bring you to godhood as well?"

"The first god leads the later gods, achieving collective deification!"

"The first god leads the later gods?"

The Titan Giant Ape scratched his head. Just as he hesitated, Lin Fan moved his mind and summoned the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm out once more.

"Hum!"

The sense of strength between Spirit Beasts is quite clear; in an instant, the Titan Giant Ape was horrified, staring at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in astonishment.

Because the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was originally in the Extreme North and had been locked up by fierce beasts after arriving at the Star Dou Forest, the Titan Giant Ape was unaware of its existence.

Suddenly sensing a Spirit Beast with such immense spirit power, it would be strange if he were not surprised.

"Hi, big dummy, we meet again."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had sensed the auras of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python before, so he was not that surprised. Moreover, he had heard the conversation between Lin Fan and the Titan Giant Ape just now and knew why Lin Fan had summoned him.

Furthermore, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's own goal was to find a human to serve as his intelligent spirit ring so they could step into the god realm together; Lin Fan's intentions aligned perfectly with his own!

"You have seen it too; even if a Spirit Beast cultivates for a million years, it is still difficult to become a god. This kid has good talent, and I intend to bet on him. As long as he can become a god, then all of us can become gods!"

"If possible, pull the Sky Azure Bull Python and Xiao Wu over to my side, and our chances of becoming gods will be even greater!"

"I wonder, are you willing?"

Lin Fan spoke softly, beginning his grand art of deception!
