Huo Yuhao listened to Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm's narration and suddenly had a strange feeling. Could it be that its name, Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm, was given because it dreams every day?

"That cave, although I couldn't leave, the feeling of the ten-thousand-year cold marrow was too comfortable. Later, I gave up looking for a way out and just crawled around inside, eating the ten-thousand-year cold marrow. When I found a large clump, I would sleep. Eventually, even I didn't know how long I had slept until the first circle of golden patterns appeared on my body."

"The golden patterns are extremely important to us ice silk worms. They symbolize that my cultivation has reached the hundred-thousand-year level. In my memory, our ice silk worm clan has never had a hundred-thousand-year cultivation. I am the unprecedented first one! At that time, I had evolved into a golden-patterned ice silk worm. I already had enough strength to break through the ice and go out. At that time, I didn't know that after becoming a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, there would be significant restrictions, making it hard to improve further. Perhaps it was my good luck, plus the lack of combat ability in our ice silk worm clan, that miraculously no heavenly punishment came. Cough, cough, that is, I slept a lot and became lazy about going out. So, I just continued to sleep in the ice cave. Because my cultivation was higher, I could break through the ice and enter places I couldn't before. This allowed me to discover more high-quality cold marrow in the depths of the ice cave, which became my food."

"Like this, I ate and slept, and time passed. Only the golden patterns on my body could measure the time I existed."

"Finally, one day, all the cold marrow in the ice cave had been eaten by me. I directly drilled out from the bottom of the ice cave and reached the sea. I drifted along the sea, following the edge of the continent towards the south. During this process, I encountered my first enemy."

"At that time, I already had nine golden patterns, making me a powerful nine-hundred-thousand-year soul beast. I thought I should be an invincible existence in this world. But..."

At this point, Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm clearly felt a bit embarrassed, "But, it seems that apart from sleeping, I couldn't do anything else and wasn't very good at fighting. In the end, I scared away the enemy with my massive mental power. This finally made me realize the need to try to cultivate my attack abilities. But I found that a long cultivation period doesn't necessarily mean strong power. I am indeed a million-year soul beast, but my combat ability is actually inferior to some ten-thousand-year soul beasts. Those combat-specialized hundred-thousand-year soul beasts are even more impossible for me to defeat. The outside world is too dangerous. But, I couldn't find my way back."

"The sea is dangerous, perhaps the land would be safer. So, I went to the land. But I found that the land was not peaceful either. Perhaps because I absorbed too much cold marrow, my body had a special smell that could attract the attention of all soul beasts, making them see me as food."

"Finally, I was caught by a powerful hundred-thousand-year soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. But it didn't kill me immediately; instead, it took me to the Star Dou Great Forest. I learned from it that I possessed a lot of elemental energy. As long as it could absorb and convert my energy, any soul beast could become a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and a hundred-thousand-year soul beast could transcend the limits of cultivation. However, because my million-year cultivation energy was too powerful, it would take a long time to absorb, so it brought me back to its lair."

"But, that guy underestimated me. Although I'm not good at fighting, I can strengthen my aura. So, I attracted all the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Hehe."

"That big battle almost involved all the soul beasts over ten thousand years in the Star Dou Great Forest. They fought fiercely! I thought I had a chance to escape. But who knew, these guys were very cunning and stopped to negotiate when they were almost done. In the end, I was the one who suffered. They decided to absorb my energy together, as my soul power was enough. Then they trapped me in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, forcing me to release my elemental energy for them to absorb. The stronger the soul beast, the closer it was to me, and the more benefits it got. These bastards treated me like food."

"Alas, I couldn't resist and could only let them do as they pleased. While being exploited, I thought about how to escape their control. My elemental energy is very pure, enough for them to absorb for ten thousand years. After thousands of years of thinking and observing, I realized that to escape their control, I not only needed to run away but also hide my aura. Gradually, humans appeared in my sight. A few particularly powerful humans entered the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt those hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. Unfortunately, they suffered. Under my nourishment, the high-level soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were definitely the most powerful on the Douluo Continent. Although those humans had very powerful weapons, they still suffered great losses. But it also made me recognize the advantages of humans."

"I am a mental and ice dual-attribute soul beast. After much thought, I decided to try to become a human's soul ring. This way, that human would definitely be very powerful. With my mental attribute, I could maintain my consciousness and become an unprecedented intelligent soul ring for humans. Hmph, at that time, I would take revenge and help that human kill all the bastards who persecuted me. So, I started to try. But who knew, my first attempt failed. The guy I chose seemed to be one of your humans, a titled Douluo. His strength was quite strong, but he was a waste. He was burst by me in one go, and he didn't even see my true form; he couldn't even withstand the mental impact. I realized that becoming my host wasn't that easy. First, they must have a mental attribute, and then they must have the ability to carry my soul power. This was even harder. So, I searched for thousands of years without success. My soul power was also almost drained by those hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. I was about to be at the end of my rope."

"Fortunately, heaven still favored me. Just when I was already in despair, the tenth golden pattern appeared on my body. I finally became the unprecedented million-year soul beast. With the appearance of the tenth golden pattern, I finally had the strength to fight against those combat-type hundred-thousand-year soul beasts and could hide my aura. I named myself Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm, no longer a golden-patterned ice silk worm. But I definitely couldn't fight so many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, and my elemental energy had been almost drained by them, leaving only my life soul power, which is my two major attributes, unabsorbed. I couldn't take revenge myself. So, I found an opportunity and finally escaped by hiding my aura and using my breakthrough strength."
