20demayo Chapter 5 The Lying Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm
Chapter 5 The Lying Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm cried out as it burrowed into the earth.
He finally encountered a genius spirit-type soul master and thought he could embark on the path to godhood, but unexpectedly, the master possessed a mysterious power that could resist the sacrifice of soul beasts.
In the limited experience of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the only thing it believed could interrupt a soul beast's sacrifice was a god.
In other words, that human soul master was already a successor of a god.
Tianmeng Bingcan wanted to cry but had no tears.
"There's no need for me to create a god for him; he's already on the path to godhood. What a great opportunity!"
"But why won't the deity within him allow me to offer sacrifices to him?"
"I'm a million-year-old soul beast! Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King didn't have my current level back then!"
"wrong!"
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly realized what was happening and then burst out of the ground once more.
"I see!"
It watched Huo Yuhao's departing figure and thought, "That god has taken a liking to his halberd martial spirit!"
"And I just sacrificed my eye spirit ring. How could an ordinary eye be worthy of a million-year spirit ring?"
"That must be it! That god wants me to sacrifice myself to that halberd-wielding spirit!"
Believing she had figured everything out, Tianmeng Bingcan stubbornly charged at Huo Yuhao.
The extreme cold enveloped Huo Yuhao once again.
"elder brother!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shouted, "You're my brother! I'm going to sacrifice myself to the halberd spirit in your hand!"
The ten golden halos on its body trembled violently, trying to envelop Huo Yuhao.
An invisible wave of spiritual energy emanated from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and spread outwards, its terrifying spiritual energy covering every corner within a hundred miles in almost an instant.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei, who were hunting souls in the Star Dou Great Forest, suddenly lost their ability to think.
The southern region of the entire Star Dou Great Forest was eerily quiet.
However, it failed again this time, and its origin was once again forced out by the "Martial Classic".
"Why!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm roared in fury: "I've already sacrificed myself to the Halberd Martial Soul! Why did I still fail?!"
It naturally dared not vent its anger on Huo Yuhao, nor on the god it imagined.
Therefore, it now acts like a spoiled child, rolling around on the ground crying and complaining about its failure.
Huo Yuhao was completely dumbfounded.
He had never seen a being like the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which insisted on sacrificing itself to others.
"You..." Huo Yuhao hesitated before speaking, "What exactly is your purpose?"
"Why must you offer sacrifices to me?"
At the same time, he thought to himself: Is this what a million-year-old soul beast is like? It's so pathetic.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stopped crying and turned over sharply, staring straight at Huo Yuhao.
After much deliberation, it finally spoke vaguely, "Because I want to live."
Then, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm recounted its experiences over the past million years.
Finally, it sighed and said, "That's why I want to offer myself to you. My lifespan has come to an end, and I don't want to die like this."
"But the deity who has taken a liking to you, for some reason, always tries to stop me."
After listening to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's story, Huo Yuhao's eyes turned cold.
It's lying.
Or rather, it did not tell the whole truth.
This body is indeed only eleven years old, but Huo Yuhao's experience cannot be judged by his physical age.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's life experience was almost a blank sheet of paper, so Huo Yuhao could completely detect the unnaturalness in its tone when it lied.
Realizing that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was lying, Huo Yuhao turned and left without looking back.
It's true that a million-year soul ring is an incredible opportunity, but Tianmeng Ice Silkworm clearly has other motives. Huo Yuhao believes that he, at level ten, is not worthy of such an opportunity.
However, just as Huo Yuhao had walked a short distance, the Martial Scripture in his spiritual sea suddenly emitted a subtle vibration, clearly trying to stop him.
"Wu Jing told me not to leave?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.
He turned around and looked at the sullen Tianmeng Bingcan: "I'll give you one last chance to tell the whole truth."
"As you can see, you have absolutely no power over me. If you try to harm me, my inherited deity will skin you alive and tear you apart."
Tianmeng Bingcan's heart skipped a beat.
A long, drawn-out time passed, until Huo Yuhao completely lost his patience, before Tianmeng Ice Silkworm finally said anxiously, "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"
"I...I want to become a god through your help."
It elaborated on its plan to create a god.
That's how it is.
Tianmeng Bingcan said dejectedly, "I originally wanted to create a god, firstly so I wouldn't die, and secondly so that the future god would owe me a favor. But you are now the successor of the god, so I wanted to hitch a ride on your coattails, which is why I offered the sacrifice a second time."
Huo Yuhao stared at it, his deep blue eyes filled with a profound light.
It is still hiding something and has not yet revealed everything.
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips and snorted.
Even if it has experienced very little, it is still a soul beast that has lived for millions of years. It is perfectly normal that it would not tell you everything.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's snort, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cautiously raised her head, only to meet Huo Yuhao's downcast brows.
It gave an awkward smile.
"I haven't finished speaking yet."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm added, "Because I said too much just now, I need to take a break before continuing."
"This is my selfish reason. As you already know, I won't give you a soul bone, but I will give you a martial soul."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't know what expression to wear when facing Huo Yuhao: "I want your second martial soul to become the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, one of the three great kings of the far north. Because I love her, I want to take her with me to become a god."
After saying this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm completely lost all its strength and collapsed to the ground resignedly.
A soft sound came from the "Martial Classic" at this moment.
truth.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm has confessed everything.
Huo Yuhao's thoughts drifted to the Tianxuan Continent, recalling the Heavenly Demon Sable who had truly accompanied the Martial Ancestor's growth.
Although the Tianxuan Continent was turbulent, the emotions were genuine. Whether it was the Martial Ancestor and Lin Diao, Lin Yan, or the two Martial Realm Mistresses, their bond transcended life and death.
Huo Yuhao had fantasized more than once that one day he would also have such feelings.
But it wasn't until the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm actually appeared before his eyes that Huo Yuhao realized just how naive his initial thoughts had been.
Does Tianmeng Ice Silkworm want to help Ice Emperor become a god?
Did it truly intend to help Ice Emperor ascend to godhood, or did it intend to use the powerful Martial Soul, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, to ensure its own ascension to godhood while simultaneously helping Ice Emperor Scorpion ascend to godhood as well?
"My god has agreed." Huo Yuhao's expression was enigmatic. "You may now make your sacrifice."
Even if Huo Yuhao sympathizes with Ice Emperor, it doesn't mean he should give up the opportunity to obtain a million-year soul ring.
If there is an opportunity in the future, it would be best to completely separate Hyotei from this scheming ice silkworm.
As for whether the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm will cause trouble in its own sea of consciousness...
With the suppression of the "Martial Scripture," Huo Yuhao had no worries in this regard.
As for his relationship with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, he could only wait and see.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm offered its sacrifice to Huo Yuhao for the third time.
This time, without the obstruction of the "Martial Arts Manual," the process went extremely smoothly.
A ring of clear yellow spirit energy slowly rose from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.
At the same time, the perfectly clear sky suddenly turned dark.
