Chapter 10

This is the third update of the day! Can we push forward on the member click ranking and recommendation ranking? If we top either ranking, I'll add another update! I'll put it in writing! This offer is valid for this week. That means, tomorrow's base update will be two, and if we top the member click ranking, I'll add one more. If we top the recommendation ranking, I'll add another one. Let's do it! At 7:30 PM tonight, I'll be joining the Three Rivers Interview, where I'll answer some of your questions. I hope you can join us!

Bebi stood up, her gaze calm as she looked around at the silent guardians by her side.

After Hu Yuhao fainted, he felt as if he were in a dream. He dreamed that he had arrived in a space of pure white, where countless light points stretched out as far as the eye could see. His vision seemed to extend to every corner of this space.

Just as he was experiencing the wonder of this space, a storm of wind and clouds suddenly arose within it, and beams of golden light pierced through.

These golden beams of light converged into ten massive golden rings that floated in the air. All the light points in the space grew much larger due to their appearance.

The ten golden rings began to rotate slowly. Inside each ring, a milky white glow appeared, growing stronger and stronger until they turned into ten enormous light spheres that floated there. The height and volume of the entire space increased by an unknown number of times.

At this moment, a small gray light sphere appeared near one of the light spheres. This gray sphere was much smaller than the other ten. The other light spheres were emitting intense golden light, seemingly trying to drive it away. However, the gray sphere remained calmly suspended, unaffected by the golden light no matter how it impacted it.

In the end, the ten light spheres had to give up their futile efforts, stabilizing and shimmering with a faint light.

Hu Yuhao's consciousness gradually became clearer. The light points that had been floating in the air slowly sank, forming a pale golden sea that supported the ten massive golden-white light spheres. Only the small gray sphere continued to float in the air, refusing to join the larger spheres.

"Your name is Hu Yuhao, then." A sudden voice rang out. Immediately, Hu Yuhao's vision contracted, and he instinctively looked down. He saw himself, naked, standing above the golden sea, between the ten golden-white light spheres.

"Where am I? Why am I here?" Hu Yuhao asked in surprise.

"This is the sea of consciousness within your own brain, or the sea of spirit. From now on, this will be my home. The place was too small, so I expanded it for you. However, your body is too weak, so I can only make do for now."

"Are you Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm? Am I not dreaming?" Hearing the tone and voice, Hu Yuhao was even more shocked. What he saw before him had already completely exceeded his understanding. Even if he were an adult, encountering such a miraculous scene would be terrifying.

"Dreaming? If you could have such a beautiful dream, wouldn't you be overjoyed? Of course, this isn't a dream. I already told you, this is in your spiritual world." Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm said irritably.

Hu Yuhao asked in a daze, "What is the spiritual world?"

Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm replied, "You're really stupid. How can I explain it to you? Let me put it this way: you know your own eyes, right? They are your spirit eyes, your soul power. I just imprinted your memories, so I know everything about your past. These spirit eyes are your soul power, and the sea of spirit is where your mental energy is stored. To make your spirit eyes powerful, you need to convert your soul power into mental energy and release it through your spirit eyes. The place where mental energy is stored is your sea of spirit, which is located in the part of your brain behind your spirit eyes. Right now, your consciousness is immersed in the sea of spirit, and the body you see is not your real body. I used mental energy to help you form it so we can communicate."

Listening to its relatively detailed explanation, Hu Yuhao finally understood a bit, and his fear gradually diminished. Children can sometimes be more sensitive than adults, and he could feel that the Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm had no ill intentions toward him.

"Why are you in my sea of spirit?" Hu Yuhao asked again.

Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm said, "Didn't I already tell you? I want to be your soul ring, a wisdom soul ring. Now I am. To become your soul ring, I had to greatly compress and seal my power. From now on, you will have a soul ring, which means you will be a soul master. However, your talent is even worse than I imagined, so bad that it's almost laughable. I really don't know if my choice was right or wrong."

Hu Yuhao said, somewhat ashamed, "My talent isn't very good, but I will work hard. My innate soul power is only level one."

Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm said, somewhat depressed, "I'll think of ways to improve your innate abilities in the future."

As the conversation continued, Hu Yuhao's courage grew, "Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm."

"Call me Tianmeng."

"Alright, Tianmeng. You said you are a million-year-old soul beast. Is that true? And why did you choose me? I heard that a soul master can only bear a soul ring of up to four hundred years. You are a million-year-old soul beast, how can you become my soul ring?"

Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm suddenly sighed, "Do you think I wanted to choose you? I had no choice! If I didn't make a choice, my life would end. And once I die, my body would likely become food for the creatures in the Star Dou Forest. Out of desperation, I had to resort to this. I have no other way out. Do you want to hear my story? We will be together for a long, long time, and I don't want to hide anything from you, so I'll tell you everything."

Hu Yuhao nodded and said, "Tianmeng, go ahead."

Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm said, "I was originally a very ordinary ice silk worm soul beast. I wasn't born in the Star Dou Forest but in the extremely cold northern region of the continent. We ice silk worms are naturally dual-attribute soul beasts, specializing in mental and ice attributes. However, our combat ability is severely limited by our speed, making us very ordinary soul beasts. Moreover, we have natural enemies. Very few of our kind can live for over ten thousand years. I was an exception."

"When I was thirteen years old, while fleeing from a natural enemy, I accidentally fell into an ice crevice. At the time, I thought I was done for. But who would have known, I fell into a mass of ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow. Then I fell into a deep sleep. At that time, I was very weak, only about three inches long. I slept for ten thousand years. When I woke up, I found myself in an ice cave. The ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow had disappeared, all absorbed by me. I thus became a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. I was overjoyed! But I found that I couldn't find a way out."

"In the ice cave, the surroundings were made of ten-thousand-year-old ice, extremely hard. Although I was a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, our ice silk worm clan has always been weak in combat, and there was no way I could break through. Fortunately, there were many holes in the ice cave that I could crawl through. So, I crawled around looking for a way out. I didn't find a way out, but I found a larger mass of ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow. With the ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow, I had food, so I fell into another deep sleep, which lasted for tens of thousands of years..."
