Mu Sheng closed his eyes and felt it out for a moment. His heart stirred slightly.

Sure enough, it was the power of the Sheep Talisman, but it was far more powerful than the version he had seen in the cartoon in his previous life.

Not only did it have the Sheep Talisman's two signature abilities, astral projection and entering dreams to deliver messages,

It also had the four Soul Skills the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had given Huo Yuhao: Spiritual Detection, Spiritual Sharing, Mental Interference, and Soul Shock!

Beyond those, Mu Sheng could vaguely sense an even deeper power within the Sheep Talisman's abilities. It seemed to concern the mysteries of the soul, but he couldn't grasp it fully yet. He would have to take his time studying it.

As the Sheep Talisman awakened, a line of large golden characters appeared on the sky screens in the worlds of Douluo I and the Douluo II anime.

[Shendu "Mu Sheng" has awakened the power of the Sheep Talisman] [Basic Sheep Talisman abilities: 1. Astral projection, 2. Entering dreams to deliver messages] [Astral projection: activate the Talisman's magic to separate the holder's soul from the body and turn it into a spirit. The spirit can fly freely, pass through walls, metal, and all other physical obstacles, and roam and scout anywhere in the world.] [Entering dreams to deliver messages: the spirit can slip into a sleeping person's dream space and speak with the target's consciousness within the dream, passing on intelligence and messages. This is known as dream visitation.]

Everyone who saw the sky screens in the worlds of Douluo I and the Douluo II anime stared in astonishment and cried out.

"What kind of miraculous abilities are those? Astral projection? Entering dreams to deliver messages? That's way too mystical!"

"Wait, one Soul Ring has two Soul Skills? Just what is this Shendu Martial Soul?"

"So this is how powerful the Shendu Martial Soul is? The Radiant Sacred Dragon is monstrous enough, but his Second Martial Soul is even more monstrous than his First Martial Soul!"

As everyone discussed it, in the scene on the sky screen,

A grayish-white remnant soul drifted over from afar, making quite an impressive entrance. Grayish-white light surged around it, and an aged, distant voice echoed over the sacrificial domain:

"I hold the sun and moon in my hands and pluck the stars from the sky. There is no one in this world like me."

In the worlds of Douluo I and the Douluo II anime, countless people's scalps tingled with shock at those words.

"Who's that? What a big mouth! Still, that line sounds awesome!"

"Got it, got it! I'm going to use that line to show off too!"

"This guy's that arrogant? He'd better have the strength to back those words up, or he'll be a laughingstock."

Electrolux's remnant soul arrived and hovered between Huo Yuhao and Mu Sheng for a moment, as though sizing them up.

There was a peculiar attraction about Huo Yuhao, but the presence emanating from the stone-disk Martial Soul above Mu Sheng's head exerted a more fundamental pull on it.

After hesitating for only a breath, it flew toward Mu Sheng.

With a thought from Mu Sheng, the newly formed pure white Soul Ring on his Shendu Martial Soul glimmered. A gentle pulling force reached out, softly enveloped Electrolux's remnant soul, and drew it toward the stone disk.

The instant the remnant soul entered the stone disk, Mu Sheng used the Sheep Talisman's power to form a weakened stone talisman plaque and settled Electrolux inside it.

A moment later, a ripple of utter astonishment came from the plaque.

Electrolux discovered that this little Talisman space could slowly nourish his remnant soul!

Though the process was slow, it was constant and unceasing, more than a hundred times better than drifting outside, exposed to wind and sun.

At that moment, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice was finally complete.

The white halo abruptly contracted, and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's enormous body vanished entirely. In its place was a translucent soul body shaped like a plump, snow-white silkworm, floating above the sacrificial platform.

He let out a heartrending wail: "Fifty percent! A whole fifty percent of my origin is gone! If I'd known, I would've blown myself up and taken you with me!"

Mu Sheng reached out and patted the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's soul body, speaking casually:

"I didn't know I was this strong either. Don't worry. Since you contributed so much origin, I'll definitely help you create a god."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm froze and looked down at the hand patting his head, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets:

"You... you can actually touch me? Your spiritual power isn't that strong, so how can you touch my soul body?"

Mu Sheng laughed. "It's just a little ability of my Martial Soul."

Qian Renxue and Tang Ya came over as well. Qian Renxue stared at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm floating in midair, disbelief written all over her face:

"The sacrifice is complete, so how does he still exist? How is that possible?"

Tang Ya, meanwhile, moved closer to Mu Sheng and looked curiously at Tian Meng's soul body. "Brother Sheng, what's going on?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked at Mu Sheng too. He wanted to know just how much this human knew about him.

Mu Sheng stroked Tang Ya's little face and explained with a smile:

"Because the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is a Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he formed a unique Wisdom Soul Ring when he sacrificed himself. He retained not only his soul and consciousness, but also some of his strength."

Qian Renxue and Tang Ya both widened their eyes.

Everyone in the worlds of Douluo I and the Douluo II anime froze when they heard that.

"A Wisdom Soul Ring? He can retain his consciousness and strength after sacrificing himself? There's such a thing?"

"A Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is that special? Then if a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sacrificed itself, could it also..."

"Don't even think about it. How many Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts could there be in the whole world?"

In the world of Douluo I, deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, at the Lake of Life.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm himself, chained to the bottom of the lake, stared at the sky screen. His two little eyes shone like light bulbs, and his plump body wriggled with excitement:

"Future me is amazing! Bah, I'm amazing!"

He bellowed at the top of his lungs to Di Tian and the Ferocious Beasts on the shore:

"I told you I was still useful! Did you see that? This Wisdom Soul Ring can give us Soul Beasts a whole new path!"

"Hurry up and let me go. We can study it together, and maybe we can lead the Soul Beast Clan to rise again!"

The Ferocious Beasts around him exchanged glances. Xiong Jun scratched his head. "A Wisdom Soul Ring... that does sound kind of interesting."

The Scarlet King nodded too. "If it really can retain its consciousness and strength, then this path of sacrifice is worth looking into."

The other Ferocious Beasts also began discussing it, most of them showing signs of approval.

Di Tian, however, wasn't so easily fooled. His golden vertical pupils fixed on the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as he spoke in an indifferent tone:

"That's you ten thousand years from now. You haven't reached a million years yet. Are you sure you can make this thing?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was at a loss for words. He didn't dare try to fool Di Tian anymore, so he could only answer honestly:

"I'm not sure either... but if I can do it in the future, that proves this path is viable! With the cooperation of you Ferocious Beast big brothers, I'm sure we can make it happen!"

Di Tian pondered for a moment, then nodded. "All right, wait here. I'll go ask the Lord."

With that, his enormous body turned and transformed into a streak of black light that vanished from the spot.

The moment the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm heard the words "ask the Lord," his little eyes grew even brighter.

There's hope!

If the Lord agrees, my little life will be saved!

In the scene on the sky screen,

Qian Renxue's expression changed. The Wisdom Soul Ring had reminded her of her father Qian Xunji's death, and of the rumor about a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's sacrifice.

So she asked Mu Sheng, "Then if a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sacrifices itself, is it possible for it to become a Wisdom Soul Ring too?"
