It's Here, It's Here!

A day a day—several days later, Star Dou Great Forest.

"Brother Sky Dream, I'm here. Where are you?" Minghui gazed at the deep forest ahead and spoke inwardly.

He did not think having two Titled Douluo beside him would affect anything. As long as Tian Meng shouted, "I'm here to sacrifice myself," the two Big Bosses would surely welcome him with open arms.

That was the treatment a million-year soul beast deserved—provided it actually appeared before him.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle." As he was thinking, the bushes ahead suddenly shook violently.

Then a large baboon leaped out.

It's here, it's here! The Almost God-Slaying Soul Beast, Wind Baboon. Minghui's heart trembled.

What a coincidence!

Encountering a Wind Baboon on his first trip out to obtain a Soul Ring—he had practically been handed Huo Gua's script.

"A ten-year Wind Baboon." Du Busi swept it with his gaze, then calmly released his aura.

"..." The Wind Baboon shrank its neck. Its roar cut off as it listlessly turned and fled without the slightest hesitation.

Good luck to you. Just don't run into a man holding a White Tiger Dagger five years from now. Although the title of Almost God-Eater sounds pretty badass, getting stabbed to death by a Fur-scraping Knife would still be a suffocatingly humiliating death! Minghui muttered inwardly, then continued onward with the two Big Bosses.

The journey went smoothly, without any obstacles. No huge ice silkworm suddenly sprang out along the way.

Wasn't this script wrong?

Back in his previous life, whenever he read fanfiction, didn't every protagonist run into Tian Meng the moment they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, with Tian Meng voluntarily delivering himself to their doorstep?

Why didn't it work for him? Minghui was starting to doubt life itself, a chill rising within his heart.

Could it be that he was just cursed with bad luck?

Well, perhaps Brother Sky Dream was asleep at this time and had not been paying attention to the outside world.

Wait a little longer!

One day, two days, three days—no ice silkworm leaped out, and no stranger's voice rang in his ears.

Minghui's heart was as cold as Ultimate Ice, chilled to the core.

"Spirit Attribute soul beasts truly are difficult to find." His father, Ming Chen, sighed emotionally.

It was not that they had encountered none; the ones they had encountered simply did not meet the requirements. Soul beasts such as Green-Eyed Foxes and Soft Bone Charm Rabbits possessed a trace of the Spirit Attribute, and absorbing their Soul Rings could also produce spiritual soul skills. However, considering the age of the rings, the resulting soul skills would not be particularly effective.

With both him and Du Busi, two Titled Douluo, leading this expedition, they naturally had to seek the best.

After a brief rest, the group continued onward.

Evening soon arrived. As the sun set, the sunset glow dyed the forest orange-yellow, and wisps of cool wind swept across the ground.

"Hm? There's a Spiritual Power fluctuation." Du Busi halted and turned to look toward one side.

"Brother Chen, stay here and protect Hui'er. I'll take a look." With that, he flashed away.

A moment later, a vast aura swept over them, followed by Du Busi's booming call.

"Brother Chen, bring Hui'er over here!"

It seemed he had found something satisfactory. Ming Chen smiled and turned to his son, Minghui. "Hui'er, let's head over."

It looked like there was no hope for Sky Dream Ice Silkworm today. Minghui sighed inwardly, nodded, and followed his father toward the source of the voice.

His thoughts churned along the way.

That made sense. Speaking of Spirit Attribute soul masters, Princess Vina of the Body Sect in the original story was one. She possessed Twin Martial Souls, one of which was the Body Martial Soul Brain. Her foundation was far stronger than Huo Yuhao's, whose Innate Soul Power had only been level one, and she was several years older than him as well.

She had definitely obtained her Soul Rings before Huo Yuhao, and there was a high chance that, just like him now, she had come to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Well, perhaps she had cultivated her first martial soul, the Snow Lotus, first.

Then what about Cui Yajie, the new Shrek Academy student who enrolled in the same year as Huo Yuhao? Her Nine-Tailed Fox was a Spirit Attribute Beast Martial Soul. When she first appeared, she was already a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, and her First Soul Skill: Charm happened to be a spiritual soul skill. Moreover, Beast Martial Souls like this were generally inherited.

Therefore, members of the Cui Family must have come to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirit Attribute soul beasts before her.

Besides that, were there truly no other Spirit Attribute soul masters on this continent?

How could that be possible?

Then why had none of them encountered Tian Meng before Huo Yuhao?

Minghui felt that Huo Yuhao's identity as the Child of Destiny was the key.

The Star Dou Great Forest covered an area comparable to an entire nation. Its territory was unimaginably vast. No matter how powerful Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Power was, it could not possibly cover the whole forest. That was even more true for Huo Yuhao, whose soul power was only level ten. The odds of him encountering Sky Dream Ice Silkworm were likely no higher than winning a multimillion lottery.

Yet others had not encountered him, while Huo Yuhao had—and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had even sought him out on his own. That kind of luck...

Was already enough to be called heaven-defying!

So, for an ordinary person to rely on a chance encounter to lure Sky Dream Ice Silkworm into offering himself up was nearly impossible.

Unless they were blessed by fortune, with luck off the charts!

And I'm also just an ordinary person without fortune's blessing. Minghui sighed.

Though he possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, he was still merely an ordinary person.

This world had never lacked geniuses. There was far more than one person with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power.

Tang Wutong was even the God King's Daughter with Three-Life Martial Souls! Yet Tang San, a God King himself, had still deliberately arranged for her to be by Huo Yuhao's side. This showed that the Child of Destiny of this plane truly carried some weight. Otherwise, she would not have caught the attention of that Old Bastard Tang San.

At that thought, Minghui fell silent and sank into brief contemplation.

Then what about Electrolux? He suddenly thought of this question.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was a native creature of the Douluo Plane. Since I transmigrated and was reborn, I could be considered to have obtained a local household registration. It made sense that I would be affected by the fortune of the Douluo Plane.

But Electrolux directly descended as Divine Sense. He was a genuine outsider. Would he still be affected?

Perhaps I can find a way to try and time it right, Minghui thought.

Inheriting Necromancy, receiving the Undead Plane, opening the Eye of Life, and helping establish the Soul Spirit System—Electrolux had been of no small help to Huo Gua in the original story.

If Minghui could receive Electrolux's guidance, his path ahead would surely be much smoother.

Besides, if he follows me, Electrolux won't have to die. If I become a god, then even if only to repay his kindness, I'll definitely help gather his Divine Sense and aid in his revival.

I won't be like Huo Yuhao, who said it but never did it.

He felt that this would be mutually beneficial, allowing them to achieve one another. As for stealing Huo Yuhao's opportunity—

For example, suppose someone transmigrated into the past and knew that a beautiful girl would marry a certain man in the future, but they were not even friends yet. In that case, did that person have to abide by some so-called moral code, act like a gentleman, and avoid approaching that girl?

Other men around her could pursue her, even date her, marry her, divorce her, and marry her again.

Yet that person alone could only stand by and watch?

What kind of logic was that?

Before something happened, before the dust had settled, everyone was merely relying on their own abilities.

He would not feel the slightest guilt.

It was not as if he were breaking into Huo Yuhao's home to steal things or flirt with his mother.

I'll try. No matter what, I have to try them all. If there's truly no hope with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, then I'll just endure it. I don't have that fortune or that luck, after all. But Electrolux is an outsider. If there's hope, then no matter what, I have to find a way to pull him over, Minghui secretly considered.

The Azure Family updated information on the continent's major powers every year. Minghui knew the current age of Dai Huabin, the son of White Tiger Duke Dai Hao. From that, he deduced that Huo Yuhao was exactly the same age as him and would later enroll at Shrek Academy when it recruited students at the age of eleven.

With that calculation, the timeline became clear. All he needed to do was intervene reasonably at the appropriate moment.

Hm, Tang Ya and Beibei would make a good breakthrough point.

So, what exactly should I do? He walked forward as he pondered.

Before long, after passing several clusters of bushes, a clear stream appeared before him. Du Busi stood on its bank.

At his feet lay a Silver White Butterfly.
