I Can Become a God on My Own. You Are Irrelevant (Please Keep Reading) (1 / 2)

Hearing the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's question, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hesitated before slowly replying, "If it were just me, the chances would be less than thirty percent. After all, I'm not good at attacking, and I can't give him the ability to protect himself. But with you, the chances could reach fifty percent. A fifty-fifty chance at eternal life-don't you want to take that gamble?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke with heartfelt emotion, excitement showing on his face. He believed the Ice Empress could not resist this temptation.

But when the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion heard those odds, her heart remained unruffled. This was nothing but a gamble: success or failure, with an equal chance of each.

She might as well face the heavenly tribulation herself. Her chances of winning even seemed a little better. The alternative meant relying entirely on someone else, existing as their dependent. From then on, her fate would no longer be her own.

The Ice Empress ranked second among the Far North's Three Great Heavenly Kings. She was the queen who ruled the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion race. Proud and lofty as she was, how could she willingly entrust her life to someone else?

After a moment of silence, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion finally spoke slowly. "Since this is a negotiation, you should at least let me meet the boy you chose. I need to see exactly how talented he is. Only after meeting him will I consider whether to help him."

Confined within the golden cage, the Ice Empress could not see the outside world unless the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm allowed her to. With the discussion having reached this point, he stopped keeping her in suspense.

With a broad sweep of his hand, the cage imprisoning the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion immediately turned white and transparent, allowing her to see the scene outside.

But almost immediately, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion fell into a stupor. Her golden eyes swept over her surroundings, filled with disbelief.

To make sure she was not seeing things, the Ice Empress made a full circuit around the golden spherical cage. Only after surveying every direction did she finally confirm that she was actually out at sea.

"Where is this? I can't sense any ice element. This isn't even the Far North anymore. Are we at sea?"

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion immediately shrieked, "Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, you can actually teleport tens of millions of miles in an instant, from the Far North to the other side of Douluo Star? That's the power of a god!"

"Heh."

At that moment, Huo Yuhao, who had been watching the show all along, finally spoke. He chuckled, then looked at the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. "This isn't the power of a god. It's merely one of my abilities. To me, it's a very simple ability."

Huo Yuhao's words immediately drew the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's gaze, and she began studying him.

The boy was handsome, possessed an exceptional bearing, and was quite confident. He certainly looked like a dragon or phoenix among men, one of the more outstanding humans she had seen in her tens of thousands of years.

Through her senses, she could feel that Huo Yuhao's blood and vitality were exceedingly robust, and his foundation was exceptionally solid. Eleven years old, with cultivation in the twenties-nothing out of the ordinary.

Still, talent like this was nowhere near enough to become a god!

Even with her added to the equation, he would merely gain another martial soul with ultimate ice. Among the human geniuses on this continent, plenty possessed twin martial souls, yet even reaching Limit Douluo was a struggle for them, let alone becoming gods.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's God-Making Plan was ultimately nothing but a fantasy. He was simply dreaming in broad daylight.

As far as she knew, none of the mighty beings who had become gods ten thousand years ago had done so through their own cultivation. All of them had attained godhood through inheritances from the Divine Realm.

On Douluo Star, geniuses with twin martial souls were as plentiful as hairs on an ox. Becoming a god truly was not that easy.

What could she offer Huo Yuhao? A three-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Soul Ring, a three-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Soul Bone, and a martial soul with ultimate ice.

She did not believe he could attract the Ice God's inheritance. As for condensing godhood through his own power, the difficulty was as great as ascending to the heavens.

"Your bearing is decent enough, but your talent falls a little short."

"Tian Meng, don't tell me you intend to realize that laughable God-Making Plan of yours through him."

"What do you mean, laughable? This plan has a very high chance of success! Seize the opportunity before it slips away-it won't come again. If you weren't my beloved, I wouldn't have come looking for you!"

Hearing his words, the Ice Empress immediately rolled her eyes. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had been frivolous back in the Far North, and even after all these years, he was still the same.

He had been moving himself all along, not her. Although his God-Making Plan sounded plausible, that was all it amounted to.

She had lived for tens of thousands of years, and her wisdom far surpassed even that of some human sages. How could she possibly lack her own judgment? The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's plan relied purely on luck.

Just then, however, Huo Yuhao finally spoke. He realized that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm really had gotten a little carried away with his own excitement, assuming the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion would surely join him in carrying out the God-Making Plan.

But those caught in the game were blind to it, while onlookers saw clearly. Watching from the sidelines, Huo Yuhao saw everything plainly. The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion actually had little interest in the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's God-Making Plan. She was only listening to his nonsense because she remained trapped in the cage and had no choice.

As for Huo Yuhao himself, he held the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's God-Making Plan in even greater disdain. Having read all of Douluo I, he knew exactly what gods were.

At most, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's plan could help him reach Limit Douluo. Condensing godhood, however, was simply impossible through it.

He only wanted a second martial soul and the three-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, which was why he had not undermined the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. After all, one needed dreams to live, and it was perfectly normal for him to have ambitions.

But just because the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not hoodwink the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion did not mean Huo Yuhao could not. "Ice Empress, pleased to meet you. My name is Huo Yuhao, and I'm also the core of the God-Making Plan."

Looking at the smiling Huo Yuhao, the Ice Empress could not help asking, "How confident are you that you can become a god?"

Huo Yuhao confidently spread his hand, then clenched it into a fist and declared in a ringing voice, "I am one hundred percent certain I can become a god. And I don't need the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's so-called God-Making Plan at all, nor do I need your assistance."

"What?"

"What did you say?"

Huo Yuhao's words stunned both the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Tian Meng could not understand why Huo Yuhao would undermine him now, while the Ice Empress simply thought Huo Yuhao was somewhat arrogant and conceited.

Yet under their astonished gazes, Huo Yuhao took a Golden Fragment radiating sacred golden light from his Storage Soul Tool and slowly held it up in his palm.

Sensing the peculiar divine power contained within that fragment, both the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Empress were utterly shocked.

Because it actually carried the aura of a god.
