The Incompetent Tianmeng

Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness was opened precisely because of that Bronze Gate capable of traversing two worlds.

When Sky Dream Iceworm began attempting to expand Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness, he discovered this Bronze Gate that exerted immense pressure upon him.

"What is this thing?" Sky Dream Iceworm exclaimed, staring at the Bronze Gate, before noticing the figure of an old man scrutinizing it from the front. "So you were the one competing with Brother for the boy just now?"

The old man's figure was extremely blurry, yet his voice carried a sense of majesty.

"Holding the sun and moon in my hand, plucking the stars, there is no one in this world like me. I never expected that I would still have a wisp of a remnant soul remaining."

"This gate is truly peculiar; I never imagined you would have such an encounter."

This final sentence was directed at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Electrolux; you may call me Elder Yi. I have forgotten much of the past, and now, as merely a wisp of a remnant soul, I can only reside within your sea of consciousness."

This man was a top-tier scientific genius and a mentor worthy of respect.

In his previous life, when Huo Yuhao read the books, he had been very fond of him. It was a pity that a certain God King did not act like a human and forced Electrolux to go offline.

"Elder Yi."

Sky Dream Iceworm was still using his own spiritual origin to expand Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness, and by now, he had already seen Huo Yuhao's experiences over the past six years.

"No wonder your martial soul possesses time and space attributes; it turns out it is related to this gate." It was the first time Sky Dream Iceworm had encountered such a miraculous thing. "To think you can even reach the world of ten thousand years ago—doesn't that mean... you could save Brother from Di Tian and the others ahead of time?"

Sky Dream Iceworm was incredibly excited. "Once you become strong, Brother will take you into the core circle to punch Xiong Jun and kick Di Tian, rescuing Brother from fire and water early on!"

Huo Yuhao was also deep in thought. "If I save you ten thousand years ago and make you leave the Star Dou Great Forest, will the spirit rings and spirit skills I have obtained now still exist?"

This question from Huo Yuhao left Sky Dream Iceworm stunned.

It was a very good question, and he did not know the answer.

"That is easy to resolve." Electrolux shed his previous sternness, his expression softening slightly. "I shall call you Yuhao, if that is acceptable."

Seeing Huo Yuhao nod, Electrolux continued, "After you fuse with this Iceworm's spirit ring, you should be able to use that gate to return to ten thousand years ago, correct?"

"Yes," Huo Yuhao replied. "I am still too weak right now; the Douluo Continent of ten thousand years ago is better suited for my survival."

Electrolux nodded. "Your approach is very correct."

Sky Dream Iceworm: "???"

What are you two whispering about?

"It is all cultivation; what danger could there be?" Immediately, Sky Dream Iceworm thought of the utility of Huo Yuhao's gate and nodded his large head. "However, with this gate here, it is indeed more convenient for you to go to the Far North. It is the same wherever you cultivate."

Electrolux smiled without a word and continued, "I had already arrived in this world ten thousand years ago. If you take this remnant soul of mine back, you will inevitably be discovered by the me of that time, and he will certainly come to seek you out."

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. "If two remnant souls fuse together, wouldn't Elder Yi recover some of his strength?"

Electrolux nodded. "If we can fuse and I recover somewhat, it would mean that even with the changes triggered by you, the events that have already occurred to you will not change."

Sky Dream Iceworm understood.

"If that is truly possible, doesn't that mean that besides Brother, this million-year spirit ring, Yuhao could obtain another nine-hundred-ninety-thousand-year spirit ring?"

Once his train of thought started, Sky Dream Iceworm's ideas multiplied.

If he could persuade Bingbing to sacrifice herself to Huo Yuhao in this world to become his second martial soul, then perhaps the Bingbing of ten thousand years ago, upon realizing she had no other choice, could sacrifice herself a second time!

In this way, wouldn't he have two Bingbings by his side?

The moment Tian Meng thought of such a future, the entire worm was thrilled!

He coughed to attract the attention of Huo Yuhao and Electrolux.

"As an unprecedented million-year spirit beast, Brother can provide you with four spirit skills! Although I cannot leave you a spirit bone, I can grant you a second martial soul! Because Brother is a dual-attribute spirit beast of spirit and ice, your second martial soul will also be ice-attributed. As for the choice of martial soul..."

Just as Sky Dream Iceworm was holding forth, his expression suddenly changed.

"No, wait! What is this thing! That was reserved for Bingbing!"

When Sky Dream Iceworm discovered that no matter what he did, he could not stop the change in the blank martial soul slot, he looked at Huo Yuhao with sudden sorrow.

"What the hell is that drop of blood in your body? Why can it forcibly change my martial soul's attributes, and why can't Brother stop it!!"

At this moment, Sky Dream Iceworm felt like an incompetent husband, forced to watch helplessly as a stranger entered his home and took his wife, unable to stop a single thing.

Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood?

Ever since the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood had transformed him, it had remained hidden within his body, continuously providing him with deeper levels of refinement.

Even Huo Yuhao had not expected that this drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood would react to the blank martial soul slot at this moment, directly cuckolding Sky Dream Iceworm.

At this time, Tian Meng looked as if he had lost his dreams; his originally jade-like, crystalline body seemed to have turned a dull gray-white.

"Uh, Tian Meng, didn't you see? It appeared along with this gate. According to the information I received from it, it seems to come from a powerful dragon-type spirit beast known as the Ancestral Dragon."

Sky Dream Iceworm wilted completely. "My Bingbing..."

His beautiful wish of living together with Bingbing and becoming gods together had been shattered just like that.

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and decided not to continue crushing him.

In the original story, if it weren't for God King Tang pulling the strings to force Tian Meng onto the Ice Empress, the two of them would never have had a chance in this lifetime.

Huo Yuhao, however, would not give the pure and flawless God King Tang any chance to make a move.

It was better to give up sooner rather than later.

"Tian Meng, do you still want to continue..."

At the mention of the god-making plan, the Sky Dream Iceworm perked up again. "Continue! If the essence blood of this so-called Ancestral Dragon can achieve this level, its potential certainly won't be inferior to the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion!"

When it came to becoming a god, even the Ice Empress had to take a backseat.

Electrolux had been observing the second martial soul, which was currently undergoing changes, for a long time.

Hearing the Sky Dream Iceworm's words, he said, "This second martial soul is not merely 'not inferior' to the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion. Its status is extremely high, even more powerful than that of the gods."

"It's that formidable?!"

The Sky Dream Iceworm no longer felt any regret.

With such a powerful second martial soul, wouldn't Huo Yuhao's path to godhood be even more certain!
