Pitiful, Weak, and Helpless

Before Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could react, Huo Yuhao had already pressed his forehead gently against her.

"Sister Tian Meng, do not resist. Surrender your entire spiritual origin to my control."

A brilliant and dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the point where they touched.

The golden rings on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body pulsed as if coming to life, transforming into streams of white halos that rapidly enveloped Huo Yuhao's body.

Intricate and profound white ring patterns began to emerge across Huo Yuhao's skin.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's originally massive body began to shrink continuously, eventually transforming into a golden stream of light that merged into the halos, dyeing the original white rings a brilliant gold.

As the rings merged into his body, an invisible wave of spiritual energy began to radiate from Huo Yuhao in all directions.

That terrifyingly immense spiritual power covered every corner within a hundred-mile radius in an instant.

At this moment, the southern region of the Star Dou Great Forest fell into a deathly silence.

It was also at this time that a thunderous roar erupted violently in the high sky.

In that instant, the sky was completely blotted out by darkness.

A gray current of air, as if encountering a massive suction force, descended from the heavens.

In the blink of an eye, it drilled straight into Huo Yuhao's forehead.

Having been reborn, Huo Yuhao naturally would not allow Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to continue with any so-called "intelligent soul ring" scheme.

By manipulating Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual origin, he completed the signing of the soul spirit contract with extreme ease.

Of course, Huo Yuhao felt that it was so easy primarily because Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had been completely terrified by his previous actions.

Her spiritual origin was thoroughly controlled by Huo Yuhao; even the compression and sealing of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual origin were operations he performed single-handedly.

At this moment, within Huo Yuhao's spiritual space, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had transformed into the appearance of a golden-haired girl, was staring at her own body in a daze.

Although she did not understand what was happening, there was no doubt that her spiritual power had completely transformed into divine consciousness.

In a sense, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had become a god, albeit a version limited to spiritual power.

However, this was not what shocked her the most. When she looked upward, she saw a golden vertical eye covered in mysterious patterns, quietly suspended in that vast and boundless void.

Although it was only the height of a person and did not look particularly large, it seemed as if it had existed there since time immemorial.

Within that golden vertical eye, there were ten thick golden chains tightly locking a golden-red crystal core. Faintly, one could hear low dragon roars emanating from within that core.

An immensely powerful pressure permeated the space invisibly.

It forced her to stay far away from that mysterious golden vertical eye, along with the ten huge golden-white light orbs that had been sealed, as well as the gray air mass that had also been sucked in.

But Sky Dream Ice Silkworm realized in an instant what that thing was.

"This is... a divine artifact!?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice trembled from excessive shock.

"Correct, but to be precise, it should be a super divine artifact."

A calm and gentle voice suddenly sounded behind Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Startled, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm turned to look, only to see the young man from before standing beside her. Moreover, the spiritual body he had condensed was extremely solid, presenting a noble and pure brilliant golden color.

Undoubtedly, the young man's spiritual body was also divine consciousness.

"Brother, are you a deity from the God Realm?"

After thinking for less than a second, and considering that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm made a decision.

She knelt down decisively, hugged Huo Yuhao's thigh tightly, and looked up at him pitifully.

"I suppose I once was."

Huo Yuhao looked at the girl in front of him, who was as petite as Xiao Xiao had been in his previous life.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, wearing a loose white one-piece pajama, was hugging him with a cheeky expression, which gave him a headache.

He could only say that this life's Sister Tian Meng had a personality not much different from the one in his previous life.

Although the gender was different, even her appearance had undergone a massive change.

Huo Yuhao shook his head with a wry smile and continued, "But Sister Tian Meng, aren't you curious about your current state?"

State?

To be honest, even now, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not fully figured out what exactly had happened.

She had originally intended to find a human who looked relatively weak, pitiful, and helpless, and who also possessed a spiritual attribute.

Then, she would trick him so that she could become the first, and currently only, intelligent soul ring on this continent.

She would then grant him an incomplete second martial soul—an ice-attribute martial soul.

After that, she would trick him into going to the Far North to kidnap Bingbing and get her on board as well.

With Bingbing and herself, they would absolutely be able to dominate everything, and even becoming a god in the end was not an impossibility.

But now, she had just happened to run into a young man, and it turned out that the other party was not only a former deity but also carried a super divine artifact.

Even under the influence of the other party's completely incomprehensible maneuvers, his mental power had actually sublimated directly into divine consciousness.

What kind of dream start was this?

Did this not mean that as long as he clung to his thigh, he could immediately activate a mode of unstoppable slaughter?

Thinking of this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt his blood beginning to boil.

However, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who usually only thought in a single thread, clearly had not yet realized why the youth before him was a "former" deity.

He also failed to consider what kind of enemies the youth might have in the God Realm.

"Brother, I see that although your mental space is vast, the mental origin within it is far too scarce. Why don't I help you replenish it properly first?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm remained immersed in the beautiful dream he had just imagined; naturally, he wanted to demonstrate his value as much as possible.

He continued, "Oh, right, I can also provide you with an ice-attribute martial soul.

When you go to the Far North, I will help you absorb an Ultimate Ice martial soul. By then, I guarantee you'll be able to slaughter everything in your path."

Tian Meng clearly still remembered Ice Empress and wanted to bring her along to achieve godhood and attain eternal life.

Previously, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not been very confident about whether he could pull Ice Empress into his "God-Making Project."

But now, the person he had encountered was a former deity who even carried a super divine artifact with him.

If even he could not become a god, then there was likely no second person on the entire Douluo Continent who could.

As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm unsealed a portion of the first sealed origin power, a golden-white orb of light slowly flowed into Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness.

The total mental capacity, which had previously been only the size of a small pond, suddenly began to expand and overflow, eventually doubling in volume.

Although Huo Yuhao's current mental form was already divine consciousness, the path of cultivation valued gradual progress, and one must avoid the pitfalls of overexertion. Therefore, he did not allow Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to inject too much origin power into his sea of consciousness.
