Background

Skydream Iceworm spent approximately nine hundred thousand years sleeping on Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow and accumulating heaven-and-earth energy. Although this let him approach one million years of cultivation, other soul beasts repeatedly fed on his accumulated essence, leaving him weakened and stalled at 990,000 years. He later described the Star Dou Great Forest's inhabitants as having nearly drained him dry. 15 19 34

Xu Linjiu searched the Star Dou Great Forest for half a year before locating him. Too weak for the system to trigger the corresponding Legendary quest, Skydream agreed to cooperate with Xu and escaped the forest through their contract. He became Xu Linjiu's first true contract partner, predating Tang San's contract. 15

Before his sacrifice, Skydream concealed Xiao Wu's hundred-thousand-year soul beast aura from Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo. The exertion depleted his remaining strength and forced him to rest inside Xu Linjiu's body for three months. 4 15

Xu Linjiu later used Exp. Candies and Never-Melt Ice to restore Skydream's cultivation. Reaching level 100 unexpectedly drew a lightning tribulation; after Xu concealed their aura with the Pokédex contract and defensive skills, Skydream transferred his accumulated power to Xu and completed his promised sacrifice. 15 16

His soul subsequently remained in Xu Linjiu's Sea of Spirit. The sacrifice also left behind ten golden rings containing most of his surplus energy and an unfinished ice-attribute second martial soul. 17 24

Appearance

Skydream Iceworm is a plump, round white silkworm that can float freely in the air. Before sacrificing his body, he could expand into a seven-meter-long form; as a soul body, he usually appears smaller and more rounded. 4 15 17

• Gleaming snowy-white body, sometimes described as translucent. 4
• Tiny arms and a broad, rounded chest that he proudly pats while boasting. 4 21
• Ten golden-ring patterns became visible on his spiritual body after the sacrifice. 22
• His pre-sacrifice body bore nine golden rings, with a tenth forming at his breakthrough. 16

Personality

Skydream is boastful, playful, greedy, and intensely curious. He frequently calls himself “big brother,” takes pride in his unmatched familiarity with Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, and eagerly demands Exp. Candies or other ice-attribute treasures from Xu Linjiu. 15 19

Despite his frivolous manner, he becomes serious when discussing his agreement to sacrifice himself for Xu Linjiu. He considers the contract his escape from being exploited in the Star Dou Great Forest and ultimately judges Xu to be foul-mouthed but kind-hearted and exceptionally talented. 15 34

His curiosity can override his judgment: after entering Xu's Sea of Spirit, he attempted to inspect Xu's sealed memories and inadvertently witnessed the system interface, contributing to its data conflict and crash. 17 18

Abilities & Skills

Aura Concealment

Skydream can conceal a soul beast's aura with enough precision to deceive powerful opponents.

• Hid Xiao Wu's hundred-thousand-year soul beast aura from Tang Hao. 4
• Claimed that even Di Tian had failed to locate him while he hid in the Star Dou Great Forest. 4
• Concealing Xiao Wu consumed substantial origin power and left him exhausted. 4 15

Ice Marrow Detection

Having spent centuries surrounded by Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, Skydream can sense its aura and guide others toward it.

• Can determine an ice cave entrance's exact location within five hundred meters; farther away, he can only identify the general direction. 21
• Located the cold-spring entrance beneath the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan outpost. 21
• Guided Xu Linjiu through the icy spring to the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow cave. 22

Spiritual Coexistence

After his sacrifice, Skydream exists as a soul within Xu Linjiu's Sea of Spirit.

• Communicates mentally with Xu Linjiu and can manifest an illusory spiritual body outside him. 17 19 34
• His continued soul aura conflicted with the system's detection of his physical death, causing a system crash. 18
• Can perceive the Pokédex system interface from within Xu's Sea of Spirit. 18

Contract Sacrifice

Skydream fulfilled his agreement to become Xu Linjiu's soul ring after reaching one million years.

• Transferred enough accumulated natural energy for Xu Linjiu to break through from level 49 to level 50. 16
• Became Xu's platinum-white million-year fifth soul ring. 16 17
• Left most of his excess energy stored as ten golden rings for gradual refinement, preventing Xu's body from being overwhelmed. 17
• His innate Simulation talent was redefined by the system as Xu Linjiu's Protean ability. 17
• His sacrifice consumed his million-year soul bone but left an unfinished ice-attribute second martial soul. 24

Relationships

• Xiao Wu — A soul beast who absorbed the heaven-and-earth essence around Skydream during her cultivation. Skydream later helped conceal her aura from Tang Hao and bluntly reminded her of their connection. 4 34
• Ice Empress — Skydream wanted Xu to choose her as the unfinished second martial soul's vessel. When Xu instead chose Glastrier, Xu promised to help Ice Empress survive her future heavenly tribulation. 24
• Glastrier — Its ice-type nature resonated with the unfinished second martial soul created through Skydream's sacrifice, enabling Xu to make Glastrier his second martial soul. 24

Story Role / Major Arcs

Concealing Xiao Wu

Skydream briefly manifests to conceal Xiao Wu's soul beast aura from Tang Hao, then returns to Xu Linjiu's body to recover from the energy cost. 4

Restoration and Million-Year Breakthrough

After awakening from a three-month rest, Skydream receives Exp. Candies and Never-Melt Ice from Xu Linjiu. The resulting breakthrough to level 100 triggers a lightning tribulation and culminates in his sacrifice. 15 16

Life in the Sea of Spirit

As Xu Linjiu's spiritual companion, Skydream attempts to uncover Xu's secrets, exposes the system interface to himself, and becomes involved in the system crash that produces the Ice-type Pokémon Egg. 17 18

Search for the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Cave

Skydream identifies the cave as a viable source of energy for hatching the compensation egg. He guides Xu through the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan outpost and into the ice-marrow cave, where the egg hatches into Glastrier. 19 21 22 23

Second Martial Soul Resonance

The remnants of Skydream's sacrifice resonate with Glastrier, revealing the unfinished ice-attribute second martial soul. Though Skydream initially proposes Ice Empress, he accepts Xu's decision to fuse with Glastrier instead. 24

Trivia

• His system evaluation calls him “supposedly a legendary Pokémon” while also judging him “far too weak” due to his depleted origin. 15
• Xiao Wu initially remembers him only as the “giant white maggot,” a label he strongly rejects. 34
