"Bingbing, I thought of a way for both of us to gain eternal life. Then we won't have to worry about the great heavenly tribulation."
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke with immense excitement.
"What..."
The Ice Empress was slightly moved, but when she remembered who had said it, her gaze immediately turned cold. She looked at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao and sneered, "Is that why you came looking for me?"
"Yes, Bingbing!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said, "That human who became a god ten thousand years ago brought the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts who had once sacrificed themselves to him along into eternal life."
"We can use the same method. With your current strength, you probably won't be able to survive the great heavenly tribulation, right? You'll most likely end up perishing anyway. Why not join me..."
After the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's persuasion, the Ice Empress was clearly swayed, though her gaze toward Huo Yuhao still carried obvious disdain.
"What makes you so certain he can become a god?"
The Ice Empress asked.
"Because I granted him a million-year intelligent soul ring with the mental attribute! And if you join us, he'll possess a second martial soul with the ultimate ice attribute!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes rolled, and then he spoke to the Ice Empress with an air of mystery. "Besides... Bingbing..."
"You'll never guess who Yuhao's teacher is!"
The Ice Empress froze.
"Who?"
Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged. On the way here, he had already asked Tang Chuan's opinion. Tang Chuan did not mind Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm revealing his identity, which had led to this conversation.
"None other than the human who became a god ten thousand years ago, Tang San!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said.
"What?!"
The Ice Empress cried out, staring at Huo Yuhao in disbelief. This boy's teacher was actually a deity?
"Tian Meng, do you think I'm a fool? After becoming a god, he ascended and left the Douluo Continent. How could he possibly still be here, let alone take on a disciple like this?"
A trace of killing intent surfaced in the Ice Empress's emerald eyes. She simply thought the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was making fun of her.
"It's true, Ice Empress."
Huo Yuhao stepped forward, his tone utterly sincere.
"My teacher is indeed Sea God Tang San from back then. He has descended upon the Douluo Continent again because of the changes taking place on the continent."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's sincere expression, the Ice Empress could not help sinking into thought. If this boy's teacher really was a deity, his chances of becoming a god in the future were extremely high.
Then this deal the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm offered...
"Come on, Bingbing. Join us!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm extended his invitation.
Sunset Forest, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Seniors, if your remnant souls become soul rings for my Golden Dragon Clear Sky Hammer, won't that change the unique natural environment here?"
Tang Chuan asked with some hesitation.
If the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lost its effects, that would mean the immortal herbs outside would lose their home just like that. Then every last one of them might blow up at him!
"Not so."
The Ice Dragon King shook his head.
"Although our remnant souls will become your soul rings, the energy that has long since merged with this place is enough to sustain its natural environment for several thousand more years."
The Fire Dragon King sounded equally unconcerned. "Besides, what does this place's natural environment have to do with us?"
"..."
Tang Chuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
That was true, but this meant he did not have to worry about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well losing its effects immediately. The time left would be enough for him to find Youyou and the other immortal herbs a new home.
"In that case, I gratefully accept your kindness, seniors."
Tang Chuan cupped his fists and spoke frankly.
"Good. You have some spirit!"
"Boy, I hope that one day, you and the Silver Dragon King can fight your way back into the Divine Realm, bring back the Dragon God, and make those fellows in the Divine Realm pay!"
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings simultaneously unleashed an earth-shaking dragon roar. Then the Golden Dragon Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Chuan's hand began humming and trembling violently, unleashing destructive fluctuations.
Boom-!
Immediately afterward.
A fiery-red soul ring and an ice-blue soul ring slowly condensed, becoming the Clear Sky Hammer's first and second soul rings respectively. Golden dragon patterns gleamed on the Clear Sky Hammer.
Roar-!
As Tang Chuan's soul returned to his body, he abruptly opened his eyes and shot into the sky with a boom. The Golden Dragon Clear Sky Hammer in his hand shone brilliantly, and three dragon phantoms swept out from it.
They were the Golden Dragon King and the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.
"He... what happened to him?"
Youyou, A Jiao, and the other immortal herbs cried out. Tang Chuan had undergone such an enormous change after eating just two immortal herbs?!
"My soul power broke straight through to the peak of rank thirty-nine!"
Tang Chuan exclaimed in astonishment.
This opportunity had almost instantly carried him across an entire major realm. He only needed to cultivate diligently and thoroughly stabilize the power within him, and his cultivation would be ready to enter the rank-forty Soul Ancestor realm.
"The Golden Dragon Clear Sky Hammer, the Blue Silver Emperor..."
Tang Chuan gazed at the two great soul rings in his hands, his eyes brimming with wild delight.
Boom!
A simple swing of the Golden Dragon Clear Sky Hammer unleashed tremendously explosive power. How was this anything like the strength a martial soul with two soul rings should possess?
Two unprecedented soul rings, one blood-red and one ice-blue, circulated silently. Beyond that, Tang Chuan himself had undergone an immense transformation, his physical body becoming even tougher.
The dual attributes of life and destruction were superimposed!
"So..."
At that moment.
Tang Chuan suddenly had a bold idea. If his Tang San Template truly evolved to its final stage, he would very likely receive the Asura God's inheritance.
And with the ultimate life and ultimate destruction attributes he currently possessed...
Plus the system's help!
Perhaps obtaining the positions of God of Life and God of Destruction would be no trouble either. Then he alone would hold three of the Divine Realm's Five Great God King positions.
"I, Tang Chuan, truly have the makings of a creator god!"
Tang Chuan laughed heartily.
Then he withdrew his two martial souls and landed before Youyou below. A group of immortal herbs gathered around him, and Youyou asked curiously, "You... seem different?"
"I found some opportunities beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that I missed back then. Thank you, Youyou."
Tang Chuan said with a soft laugh.
"There's no need to thank us. If you hadn't replanted us back then, we wouldn't be where we are today."
Youyou shook her head.
"I'll fulfill my promise to you as soon as possible and find you a new home with an environment even better suited to your growth."
Tang Chuan spoke solemnly, putting Youyou and the others somewhat more at ease. Afterward, he did not rush to leave, instead remaining here to consolidate his now vastly increased cultivation.
Hum-!
Soul power swept outward, and Tang Chuan's Blue Silver Emperor unexpectedly condensed an innate domain spanning an extremely wide area of its own accord. It was none other than the Blue Silver Domain.
