This Big Bug? Di Tian Gave It to Me! Di Tian: Did I?

Bi Ji couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lan Lingcang watched their reactions, the corners of his lips curving slightly upward.

He knew that once this ability was revealed, their resistance to sacrifice would lessen considerably.

After all, no one wanted to truly die.

But if they could continue living in another way while retaining their sense of self...

That was a different matter.

Bi Ji wiped the smile from her face and looked seriously at Lan Lingcang.

"Alright, then there's no problem."

"You want me to sacrifice myself to Ah Yin, right?"

"But what level is her Soul Power at now?"

Lan Lingcang glanced at Bi Ji and smiled. "Smart."

"Ah Yin is only a Soul King right now. She's still some distance from level sixty."

"That's why I said the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is useful to me."

"Since his life essence can raise a soul beast's cultivation, it should work for Soul Masters too."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's expression changed.

"Big Brother! Please, no!"

"Believe me, I'm useful to you!"

"I can become a Soul Spirit! My life essence can even raise the age of that Ah Yin's Soul Rings!"

"I can make all her Soul Rings reach the hundred-thousand-year level!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke so urgently that his voice nearly cracked.

Di Tian looked to Lan Lingcang, wanting to know what he thought.

Lan Lingcang looked at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and smiled.

"There's something wrong with what you're saying."

"Our goal is to create a god. Everything we're doing now is to let Ah Yin quickly reach the level of a Title Douluo, or even a Peerless Douluo."

"As for how many years her first six Soul Rings have, that isn't the key point at all."

"After all, you can raise the age of Ah Yin's Soul Rings, but while doing so, you can't raise her cultivation, can you?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's expression changed.

That was indeed the case.

His life essence could increase the age of Soul Rings, but only their age.

In other words, even if those Soul Rings reached the hundred-thousand-year level, they still would not gain a second Soul Skill.

Lan Lingcang's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's last shred of hope.

He opened his mouth, wanting to argue, only to realize that he could not find any reason to do so.

After pondering for a moment, Di Tian nodded.

"Since you have a complete plan, take this Ice Silkworm with you."

"He'll only slowly be drained if he stays here. Better to put him to good use."

The other Ferocious Beasts had no objections either.

Lan Lingcang cupped his hands. "Thank you. Then that's settled. I'll take him back first."

Just as he was about to leave, Bi Ji suddenly called out to stop him.

"Wait."

Lan Lingcang turned back.

Bi Ji took out a palm-sized golden crystal.

The entire crystal emitted a gentle golden glow. Something like liquid seemed to flow slowly inside it, brimming with a warm, rich aura of life.

"This is Life Gold."

Bi Ji handed the Life Gold to Lan Lingcang. "Since she's a life-attribute soul beast, this piece of Life Gold should be useful to her."

"It can improve her life attribute, open up her Sea of Spirit, and give her a more solid foundation of spiritual power."

"Oh, right. Do you need it yourself?"

Lan Lingcang accepted it, felt the enormous life energy contained within, and shook his head.

"I don't need it."

"With my current cultivation, even if I don't possess ultimate life, I'm infinitely close to it."

"This Life Gold won't improve me much."

Before leaving, Lan Lingcang waved his right hand, and several immortal herbs appeared out of thin air before the Ferocious Beasts.

One was a completely crimson lingzhi mushroom that radiated a scorching aura.

One was a pale-blue snow lotus surrounded by a faint chill.

There were also several semi-immortal herbs in various colors. Though their quality was inferior to the first two, they were still rare treasures.

"These are immortal herbs and semi-immortal herbs that I obtained."

"They should be somewhat useful for improving your cultivation."

"But I can't name most of them. If you dare to try them, eat them."

The Ferocious Beasts' eyes lit up as they looked at the immortal herbs before them.

Ten Thousand Demon King especially understood their value better than anyone. He had broken through only after consuming immortal herbs himself.

"You're willing to part with them?" Ten Thousand Demon King could not help asking.

"What's there to be reluctant about?" Lan Lingcang smiled.

"Since we're cooperating, I have to show some sincerity."

"I'm leaving."

With that said.

Lan Lingcang raised his right hand, and a Blue Silver Vine wrapped around the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body.

The next moment, a spatial ripple flashed by, and the two vanished from the Lake of Life.

Back at the Blue Silver Ancestral Land.

Ah Yin hurried over at once.

"How did it go?"

Lan Lingcang smiled and reached out to rub Ah Yin's head.

"It's settled. I even brought you something good."

As he spoke, he stepped aside, revealing the pale, plump giant bug bound in vines behind him.

Ah Yin looked over curiously, somewhat puzzled.

"This big bug is?"

"An Ice Silkworm with a million years of cultivation."

Lan Lingcang said calmly, "I'm going to extract his life essence to raise your cultivation."

"Mm, Di Tian gave him to me."

"He originally used this one to raise the cultivation of other Ferocious Beasts and soul beasts nearing a hundred thousand years."

"But after learning of my God Creation Project, he gave him to me."

Di Tian: Gave... did I give him to you?

Of course, Di Tian could not hear that.

But the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did.

He desperately twisted his fat body and shouted at Ah Yin.

"Miss! Miss, save me!"

"I'm innocent! I don't want to die!"

"I cultivated for a million years to reach this point! Please, let me go!"

Ah Yin looked troubled as she watched the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's pitiful appearance.

She had originally wanted Lan Lingcang to spare the bug.

After all, although they were of different races, they both belonged to the great race of soul beasts.

Lan Lingcang saw through Ah Yin's thoughts, and his smile faded.

"Letting him go is impossible."

"If you don't want him, I can only return him to Di Tian."

"Ah Yin, there's something I must make clear to you."

"Though we speak of righteousness and say that we will give the soul beast race a place to survive in the future."

"You must understand that even without Soul Masters as an external factor, internal struggles among soul beasts would inevitably exist."

"Only those of the same race can be considered relatively close and trustworthy. With other races, at most, we have a cooperative relationship."

"That is also why Di Tian and the others usually remain in the Land of Great Evil and feel nothing when the soul beasts in the outer regions are killed."

"If members of his Black Dragon Clan were being killed, do you think he would remain indifferent?"

"The same applies to the human world. You spent two months training outside, so you understand that there are many human empires across the continent."

"They are all part of the great species known as humanity, yet look at the two great empires. Aren't they still fighting, each wanting to annex the other?"
