Inside Chen An's Sea of Consciousness.
After recounting his miserable past, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt he had completely lost his air of a mighty expert in front of Chen An.
Drooping his round head, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm began explaining why he wanted to become Chen An's soul ring.
"Although my breakthrough made me a million-year soul beast, my lifespan has reached its end under the Heavenly Tribulation.
"But I still don't want to die. Unfortunately, how long I live isn't up to me.
"In this entire world, only gods can live forever.
"But over who knows how many tens of thousands of years on the Douluo Continent, no soul beast has ever become a god. And I'm not cut out to become one, either.
"You humans are different, though. Your lives may be short, but you possess extraordinary talents and cultivate incredibly fast. Compared to soul beasts, you have far greater advantages.
"Ten thousand years ago, Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Devils even reached level one hundred, became gods, and ascended to the Divine Realm. Even the soul beasts who followed them ascended alongside them and gained eternal life.
"So I thought, since I can't become a god myself, I'll nurture one! I'll create a god!
"With my million years of cultivation and my million years of spiritual origin, I can turn any human into an unparalleled genius.
"As long as I nurture that unparalleled genius into a god, I can gain eternal life alongside him as his Wisdom Soul Ring!"
Having finished, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fixed his tiny eyes on Chen An with a burning gaze.
"Chen An, you're the one I've chosen! I believe that with my guidance and your talent, you'll definitely become a god!
"If even you can't become a god, who else on the entire continent could?"
Hearing this, Chen An's fighting spirit soared.
That's right. If even I can't become a god, who else on the entire Douluo Continent deserves to?
He had his uniquely blessed true self martial soul, along with the greatest opportunity in Peerless Tang Sect: the Million-Year Soul Ring, second martial soul, and boundless spiritual origin bestowed by the million-year-old Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
With such a lineup, if he couldn't become a god, he would truly be trash among trash.
Chen An felt a blazing fire ignite in his heart, felt thunder roar within him. His ambition, his dream of climbing to the pinnacle of the soul master world and becoming a god at level one hundred, had taken another great stride toward him.
As long as he advanced step by step, didn't court death, and didn't get reckless, the road to godhood lay right beneath his feet!
Seeing Chen An brimming with fighting spirit, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm chuckled, then sat beside him and said, "Little Chen An, from now on, we rise and fall together.
"I've entrusted everything to you without holding anything back. But I really don't know anything about you. Shouldn't you give me a proper introduction?"
Chen An nodded, then began telling Sky Dream Ice Silkworm about his life over the past few years.
Apart from the memories of his previous life, Chen An concealed nothing from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
After all, as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had said, they now shared both glory and ruin. Their fates were bound together.
If he concealed anything now and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm discovered it later, it would undoubtedly weaken the foundation of trust between them.
That was something Chen An didn't want to see. He needed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to assist him wholeheartedly, sparing no effort.
And Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was clearly willing to do everything he could to help Chen An grow stronger. After all, only when Chen An became powerful and attained godhood could he reap the greatest benefits and gain eternal life.
After hearing Chen An's introduction, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gained a detailed understanding of him. With a startled expression, he said,
"You said that little blonde girl beside you has the six-winged angel martial soul? How is that possible?
"Qian Renxue, the Angel God from ten thousand years ago, had no direct descendants at all. After Qian Renxue died, the six-winged angel martial soul vanished forever. Only the collateral branches of the angel bloodline remained.
"That's something that bastard Di Tian revealed while talking to the other ferocious beasts as he absorbed my origin."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm naturally harbored deep hatred toward Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts. After all, they had imprisoned him for ten thousand years and drained his origin for just as long, sucking his soul power origin dry and nearly draining him to death.
But he was very familiar with Di Tian's strength, vast knowledge, and temperament.
Di Tian's strength could be described as unrivaled beneath the heavens. If he claimed second place on the Douluo Continent, absolutely no one would dare claim first. Proud and domineering, he disdained lying.
Thus, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm trusted Di Tian's words. But he didn't think Chen An would deceive him, either.
After all, Chen An was only a six-year-old child and most likely wouldn't lie. Besides, there was no need to deceive him over something as trivial as a friend's martial soul.
For a moment, enormous question marks seemed to sprout from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's round head.
Hearing this, Chen An involuntarily began pondering it as well.
The original story he had read in his previous life really hadn't explained whether Qian Renxue had descendants.
But from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Chen An had learned that Qian Renxue had no direct descendants.
Then if Qian Renxue had no direct descendants, what was the deal with Ren Xue's six-winged angel martial soul?
Whatever exists must have a reason. Surely Ren Xue hadn't popped out of a crack in a rock?
For a moment, Chen An's head buzzed. He felt as though Ren Xue's origins had become shrouded in a thick fog, impossible to fathom.
But then Chen An reconsidered. So what if Ren Xue isn't a direct descendant of Qian Renxue?
As long as the things they had experienced together and the bond between them were real, everything else was irrelevant.
Even if Ren Xue harbored a secret as vast as the heavens, Chen An wouldn't pry into it.
After his brief surprise, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm put the six-winged angel and all that out of his mind.
Earlier, while searching throughout the Star Dou Great Forest for a soul master with the mental attribute, he had examined not only Chen An but also the little blonde girl beside him.
According to his Spiritual Power's perception, that little blonde girl was inferior to Chen An in both physical strength and Spiritual Power. The only thing in which she surpassed him was soul power, which had already reached level twenty.
But in Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes, soul power level mattered far less than physique and Spiritual Power.
So after learning that the little blonde girl's martial soul was the six-winged angel, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had only one thought.
The legendary divine-grade martial soul, the six-winged angel, is nothing special after all. Chen An's true self martial soul is the strongest!
As expected of the host I chose. He's just that badass, just that strong. Even a divine-grade martial soul is no match for him.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm then said to Chen An, "Little Chen An, I forgot to tell you. The second martial soul I bestowed on you is merely ice without a soul.
"Simply put, the martial soul I gave you currently has only an attribute, not a form. Only when you absorb your first ice-attribute soul ring will this martial soul take its final shape.
"Whatever soul beast you absorb that soul ring from, that's what your second martial soul will become!"
