Tian Meng · The Great Deceiver · Ice Silkworm!

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sped down the river, his heart a mix of nervousness and excitement.

He knew he had to find a safe place as quickly as possible to completely conceal his aura.

However, the vastness of Star Dou Forest far exceeded his imagination, even though he had already escaped the vicinity of the Lake of Life.

Yet, he still could not completely shake off the threat of those powerful fierce beasts.

A flicker of anxiety crossed the eyes of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as he constantly calculated his way out.

His body swam rapidly through the river, his soul power fluctuations suppressed to the limit for fear of attracting the attention of those powerful soul beasts.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he thought of a possible way out.

Human soul masters!

Soul masters often appeared on the outskirts of Star Dou Forest; if he could find a powerful human soul master, he might be able to use their strength to delay the pursuit of Di Tian and the other fierce beasts.

Although the possibility was slim, it was still a method worth trying.

"That's it!"

A glint of cunning flashed in the eyes of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as he quickly adjusted his direction and swam toward the edge of the forest.

Not long after, he sensed a slight fluctuation of soul power coming from ahead.

Noticing the anomaly, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt a surge of joy, quickly hid his aura, and cautiously moved forward.

Through the dense woods, he saw a group of people who seemed to be searching for something.

The leader was a young boy, not very old, but the mental fluctuations radiating from him filled Tian Meng with ecstasy.

This kid... his mental power is so strong, could he be a mental-attribute soul master?

The most critical thing is that this kid seems to be at a crucial moment of advancement!

The gaze of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lingered on Ye Ruilin for a moment, his eyes shining as if he had seen hope.

In his heart, there was actually an immature idea, and the moment he saw this boy, that idea seemed to become even clearer.

However, just as he was preparing to observe further, he suddenly felt two powerful auras coming from afar.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked up, his heart skipping a beat.

"Two Titled Douluo!"

He was overjoyed; he never expected to encounter two human powerhouses here!

Wasn't this exactly what he wanted?

The body of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm trembled slightly, a cunning light flashing in his eyes as if he had already seen the hope of escape.

He did not hesitate and communicated directly with Ye Ruilin through mental power.

"Kid, looking for a suitable soul ring?"

The voice of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly rang out in the mind of Ye Ruilin, his tone carrying a hint of temptation and probing.

Ye Ruilin stopped abruptly, his gaze scanning his surroundings vigilantly.

"Who is it?"

His voice was low and calm, and his companions also stopped in their tracks, looking around warily.

"Brother Ye, what's wrong?"

Ning Rongrong asked in a low voice, her eyes filled with confusion.

Ye Ruilin did not answer, continuing to scan his surroundings with vigilance.

In his mind, the voice of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sounded again.

"Don't be nervous, I have no malice toward you; I just want to make a deal with you."

"A deal?"

Ye Ruilin frowned slightly, his heart secretly on guard, but his face remained calm.

The voice of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm carried a hint of urgency and temptation.

"That's right, I can become your second soul ring and grant you powerful soul skills and strength."

"How about it, are you tempted?"

Ye Ruilin was shaken, a flash of realization crossing his eyes.

If he hadn't guessed the identity of this voice before, then the moment the other party proposed the condition of becoming a soul ring, he understood immediately.

This was the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm trapped deep within Star Dou Forest!

He just hadn't expected the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to start trying to escape so early.

And to have run straight into him, of all people.

This Auspicious Power... is simply too amazing!

"Why did you choose me?"

Ye Ruilin asked in a low voice, his tone laced with a hint of confusion as he feigned ignorance.

The voice of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm carried a trace of urgency and temptation.

"Young man, do you want to become a god?"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Tian Meng spoke slowly.

"Become a god?"

Ye Ruilin's eyes flickered, a subtle change immediately captured by Tian Meng, who had been observing him closely.

Feeling a surge of joy, he spoke again.

"Your Brother Sky Dream can bestow upon you immense power; my power is enough to make you a god!"

"I am no ordinary soul beast; I am the only million-year soul beast in this world."

"How about it? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"If you miss this chance, you will never have another opportunity to obtain a million-year soul beast spirit ring."

Ye Ruilin remained silent for a moment, secretly finding it amusing.

How could he not know that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was so good at sweet-talking?

He suspected that the person from the Huo Family had also been hoodwinked by this exact set of rhetoric.

However, on the surface, he continued to act hesitant and indecisive.

"Kid, what are you still hesitating about?"

"Think about the Angel God and the Sea God; don't you want to be like them?"

Tian Meng cast the bait once more.

The Angel God pacified the turmoil of the evil soul masters and attained godhood by gaining the faith of countless humans.

The Sea God unified the vast oceans at the age of one thousand and one, obtaining the faith of numerous marine creatures to ascend to godhood.

The legends of these two figures were likely known to everyone in the soul master world.

Tian Meng did not believe this kid wouldn't be tempted.

After a moment of silence, sensing the internal anxiety beneath Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's restrained exterior, Ye Ruilin found it funny.

Only then did he speak slowly.

"Fine, I agree."

"I hope you can help me become a god."

Ye Ruilin put on a look of genuine belief, his eyes even reflecting a hint of sincerity.

The voice of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm carried a trace of delight.

"Trust your Brother Sky Dream; Brother Sky Dream will definitely not let you down."

Seeing Ye Ruilin agree, the round figure of Tian Meng immediately burst from the ground and appeared before everyone.

The moment the figure emerged, the terrifying chill radiating from its body instantly froze the surroundings.

Bone Douluo and Dugu Bo's expressions turned stern as they immediately raised their hands to shield Ning Rongrong and the others.

Upon discovering that Ye Ruilin seemed unaffected by the cold, the figure appeared at his side.

A flash of panic crossed Dugu Yan's eyes, but she calmed down slowly after realizing her grandfather's soul power was enveloping her.

In just a moment, a powerful mental force instantly shrouded everyone's hearts.

This terrifying mental pressure made both Bone Douluo and Dugu Bo tremble.

They kept their eyes locked on the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, filled with vigilance.

"What is this thing!"

Bone Douluo's gaze was icy, and spirit rings began to emerge at his feet.

Sensing danger, he immediately prepared to attack.

Whether it was Ning Rongrong or Ye Ruilin, he absolutely could not let anything happen to them here.

"Kid, don't forget, you promised me!"

Feeling the sharp aura radiating from Bone Douluo, Tian Meng felt a bit timid.

Although it possessed immense power, its offensive capabilities were truly not worth mentioning.

Sensing Bone Douluo's movements, it immediately moved closer to Ye Ruilin.

At this moment, Dugu Bo had no idea of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's origin, and naturally, he would not let it approach Ye Ruilin so easily.

The phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor appeared behind Dugu Bo, and several spirit rings lit up at his feet as well.

The cold, sinister aura forced Tian Meng to stop in its tracks once again.
