Fusion with Sky Dream! The Golden Second Ring

In the original work, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm choosing Huo Yuhao, who possessed a unique spirit but a weak martial soul, was a desperate gamble.

But what if a superior candidate appeared before it—one possessing the god-level Six-Winged Angel martial soul, innate twentieth-level soul power, the perfect age, and limitless potential? Would the outcome be different?

A flash of resolve crossed the eyes of Su Chen. Without hesitation, he focused his mind, and the Six-Winged Angel martial soul fully manifested!

A more brilliant golden light erupted from his body; his long golden hair danced wildly, and all six wings spread wide, each feather flowing with tangible golden radiance. A sacred, majestic, and noble aura permeated the surroundings.

Su Chen flapped his wings, his figure transforming into a golden stream of light as he shot into the sky, instantly breaking through the canopy and soaring above the forest. He identified his direction and flew rapidly toward the area where, according to his memory, Huo Yuhao was most likely to appear.

Before long, his eyes narrowed. He lowered his altitude and landed silently on a branch of an ancient tree, suppressing his aura as he cast his gaze toward the clearing in the forest below.

In the clearing, a life-and-death struggle was underway.

A black-haired youth, covered in blood and wielding a White Tiger Dagger, was maneuvering against a massive Wind Baboon. The youth's eyes were filled with determination; even in a desperate situation, he refused to give up.

"Huo Yuhao... it really is him." Su Chen observed calmly. Although the black-haired youth below was in constant danger, his movements were agile, and his evasive maneuvers showed a surprising amount of method.

"Roar!" The Wind Baboon, driven into a frenzy, lunged forward, its claws aiming straight for Huo Yuhao's heart!

Huo Yuhao's pupils constricted. At the critical moment of life and death, instead of retreating, he advanced. His body twisted at an impossible angle, narrowly dodging the sharp claws, while the White Tiger Dagger in his hand traced a precise arc—

"Puchi!"

The dagger pierced accurately into the Wind Baboon's left eye!

"Awoo—!" The Wind Baboon let out a shrill howl and collapsed with a crash, a white soul ring slowly emerging above it.

Huo Yuhao stumbled backward, sliding to the ground with his back against a tree, his face as pale as paper. He struggled to stand, but his vision went black, and he fell into a deep faint.

The moment Huo Yuhao lost consciousness, a mental fluctuation, lazy yet filled with infinite surprise, rippled outward:

"Hehehehe... after waiting for so long, Brother has finally found someone decent!"

Su Chen felt a jolt in his heart, but he remained outwardly calm, sweeping his gaze toward the source of the mental fluctuation.

From the bushes, a massive, jade-like caterpillar-type soul beast slowly crawled out. It was over seven meters long, its translucent white-jade body adorned with ten shimmering golden ring-shaped markings. Its small golden eyes darted around, full of cunning and excitement.

A million-year soul beast—the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

[Ding! Detected important character: Million-year soul beast Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Check-in successful!]

As the system prompt faded, a stream of profound domain knowledge flooded Su Chen's mind. He instantly grasped the method and wonders of activating the Angel Domain, feeling a surge of joy.

At this moment, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mental fluctuation came again:

"Twelve years old, an eight-hundred-year first soul ring! The mental power is also exceptionally solid... and most rare of all, this martial soul! Six-Winged Angel! A top-tier god-level martial soul identical to that Angel God Qian Renxue from ten thousand years ago! And these wings of yours... six wings from birth? Incredible! Hahaha, Brother's luck has finally arrived! After waiting for so many years, I've finally found a host worthy of Brother!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm twisted its plump, crystalline body, slowly moving toward the tree where Su Chen stood. Its small golden eyes stared fixedly at Su Chen, its mental fluctuations filled with confidence and persuasion:

"Kid, you can hear Brother, right? Come, come, let me formally introduce myself. Brother is the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the only peerless soul beast in the history of the Douluo Continent to have cultivated for a million years! None before, and none to come!"

"Brother has a heaven-shaking plan to become a god, which can help you reshape the Angel God position, clear all obstacles, ascend to the God Realm, and obtain eternal life! How about it? Are you tempted? Are you excited?"

Su Chen leaped lightly from the tree, his six wings slowly retracting behind him, his long golden hair cascading down like a waterfall, shimmering with a dazzling luster in the sunlight.

His handsome, god-like face revealed just the right amount of surprise, vigilance, and a hint of curiosity. He swept his gaze calmly over the unconscious Huo Yuhao on the ground, a flash of complex emotion crossing his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by firmness and indifference.

Since he had chosen to walk this path of intercepting opportunities and defying fate, there was no need for hypocrisy or hesitation. Huo Yuhao's opportunity was now his.

But if there were a chance in the future, he would settle the blood feud for being manipulated by Tang San as a pawn, a puppet, and even a "dog," with his love and destiny all designed by others; that would be considered even.

He suppressed all his thoughts and looked at the massive, strange million-year soul beast, responding with a mental fluctuation, his voice calm and ripple-free: "I am Su Chen. A plan to become a god? It sounds tempting. But there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. What are your conditions? What price do you need me to pay?"

"Smart! Direct! Brother likes talking to smart people!" The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm twisted its body excitedly, its white-jade torso refracting charming halos in the sunlight. "The condition is simple! Brother helps you become a god, and you bring Brother eternal life! We benefit each other, a win-win cooperation!"

"As a reward and investment, Brother will not only become your second soul ring—and an unprecedented wisdom soul ring at that, granting you four powerful mental-type soul skills—but I will also help you shape a top-tier second martial soul! I guarantee it won't be much worse than your current Angel martial soul! How about it? This deal is a massive profit for you!"

"A second martial soul?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow, feigning deep thought, his fingers unconsciously rubbing his chin. He naturally knew what the second martial soul the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke of meant—one of the three great kings of the Far North, a four-hundred-thousand-year super soul beast, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion! The ultimate ice attribute, a top-tier beast martial soul! Once obtained, both martial souls would have god-level potential, and his future would be limitless!

"That's right! A second martial soul!" Seeing Su Chen was moved, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm quickly added more, its mental fluctuations full of temptation. "Brother has accumulated a million years of mental essence and a portion of ice essence, enough to plant the foundation for a super ice-attribute martial soul within your body!"

"Plus, Brother's wisdom soul ring is special, allowing you to possess four growable mental skills in advance! Who else in the entire Douluo Continent can offer you this besides Brother? That unconscious kid? His weak Spirit Eye martial soul could never carry out Brother's complete plan!"

Su Chen remained silent for a moment, his gaze meeting the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's small golden eyes. He could feel the urgency, sincerity, and a hint of imperceptible anxiety in the creature's mental fluctuations—this million-year soul beast had been trapped for too long, its longing for eternal life reaching its peak. Like a gambler seeing hope for a comeback, it was pushing all its chips onto the table.

"Fine, I agree." Su Chen nodded, his tone resolute and without any hesitation. "What do I need to do?"

"Hahaha! Refreshing! Brother didn't misjudge you!" Hearing this, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm erupted with immense joy and relief in its mental fluctuations. It laughed, its body trembling slightly with excitement. "Relax your mind, do not offer any resistance! Open your heart and accept Brother's sacrifice!"

As soon as the words fell, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's massive body erupted with brilliant golden light! The radiance grew increasingly intense, eventually forming a massive golden cocoon over fifteen meters in diameter, hovering before Su Chen.

"Kid, are you ready?" The voice of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm came from within the cocoon.

Su Chen took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "Come!"

"Hum—!"

The golden cocoon transformed into a torrential pillar of light, completely enveloping Su Chen! Mental power and soul power, vast as a sea of stars, surged in frantically!

"Ugh!" Su Chen let out a muffled groan, his body shaking violently. He gritted his teeth and persisted, channeling his soul power to guide this force.

His Sea of Consciousness underwent a heaven-turning, earth-shattering change!

The originally small mental space was violently expanded! Golden light condensed into ten massive golden rings, hanging high above the Sea of Consciousness. From each ring, milky-white halos surged, condensing into ten spheres of light that emitted majestic mental fluctuations.

"How about it, Su Chen? This is the new home I've expanded for you! Grand, isn't it? Luxurious, right? These ten halos and light orbs are the essence of my million-year cultivation's spiritual origin! In the future, they will be enough to elevate all your soul rings to the hundred-thousand-year level, and they will allow your spiritual power to reign supreme across the Douluo Continent, sweeping away everything in your path!" The voice of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm echoed throughout this vast, boundless Sea of Consciousness; though clearly exhausted, it was filled with pride and triumph.

Su Chen's consciousness wandered through this brand-new, star-like Sea of Consciousness, feeling its infinite expanse and the terrifying, world-destroying energy contained within the ten light orbs. His heart was filled with incomparable shock, yet simultaneously, a surge of intense confidence welled up within him. With such a solid foundation, how could he fail to become a god?

In the outside world, Su Chen's soul power began to soar wildly!

Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three... his Soul Power Level climbed steadily! At the same time, the color of his first soul ring deepened, shifting from yellow to a dark yellow, finally settling into a rich, deep hue with faint purple halos shimmering at the edges—the age had increased to three thousand years!

Beside him, a second soul ring was rapidly condensing and taking shape—

It was not the usual yellow, purple, or black, but a dazzling, brilliant gold, as if cast from liquid solar essence—a golden soul ring!

On the surface of the soul ring, ten intricate and mysterious golden patterns flowed slowly like living creatures, radiating a terrifying pressure that made the soul tremble and an aura of supreme majesty! A million-year soul ring! A legend that had never appeared in the history of the Douluo Continent!

In the end, Su Chen's soul power settled at level twenty-seven! His first soul ring was purple, with an age of three thousand years! His second soul ring was an unprecedented million-year golden soul ring!
