For the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, this was an unbelievable revelation. She had always known that Skydream Iceworm's combat power was pathetic compared to hers.
But his cultivation level was real.
Even the strongest of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extre North, Snow Empress, could not match Skydream Iceworm in raw years of cultivation.
Of course, the reason Skydream was so weak was because his species was inherently fragile the Iceworm race had never been known for its battle prowess.
"I understand that this sounds impossible to you," Skydream said, his tone sincere. "But for , if I didn't abandon my body, my life would have co to an end long ago.
"So, I found a human, beca his Wisdom Soul Ring, and as long as I help him beco a god, I will achieve eternity alongside him!"
He then proceeded to explain everything about Wisdom Soul Rings and the God Creation Plan, making sure to lavishly praise Huo Yuhao.
"Bring This Huo Yuhao Before ."
"Then, where is this 'Huo Yuhao' you speak of? Let see him," the Ice Empress demanded.
"Yuhao, co out! Bing Bing wants to et you!" Skydream Iceworm called out.
At that, Huo Yuhao stepped out of the ice cave, his gaze falling upon the massive, erald green scorpion trapped within Skydream's molted skin cage.
He observed the creature carefully.
In his impression, high level beast kings were capable of transforming into human forms while retaining their cultivation.
The most notable example was the Ice Bear King.
Though not one of the Top 10 Savage Beasts, it had survived the Ten Thousand Year Tribulation, technically qualifying as a minor Savage Beast.
And in the original story, the Ice Bear King could freely transform into a fat man.
"Is This The Human? What's His Connection To You?"
The Ice Empress scrutinized Huo Yuhao, her gaze sharp.
"What is your relationship with this human?"
Skydream hesitated for a mont before responding, "Our relationship… um… Yuhao is my host. In a sense, he is also my master.
"Our interests are deeply intertwined."
Then, Skydream turned to Huo Yuhao and introduced the Ice Empress.
"Yuhao, this is the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extre North.
"Her cultivation has reached 399,999 years on the verge of 400,000 years, making her a terrifyingly powerful existence!
"Your second martial soul has ice attributes, but it lacks a defined form.
"If Bing Bing agrees to cooperate with us, your second martial soul will finally take shape!
"When that happens, you will truly possess twin martial souls!"
"Can You Really Create a God?"
The Ice Empress studied Huo Yuhao intently.
"Your soul power is weak, but your spiritual strength is astonishing. You must have an exceptional talent.
"If Skydream and I work together, we can definitely help you reach Limit Douluo.
"But… becoming a god?"
She shook her head slightly.
"That's still too difficult.
"The Douluo Continent hasn't seen a new god in 10,000 years.
"If I truly want a chance at divinity, I should choose a stronger human one with better odds."
"I Am The Best Candidate."
Huo Yuhao stepped forward, his golden eyes unwavering.
"Ice Empress, I understand that you see as weak right now.
"But let tell you sothing I am no ordinary soul master."
"In the field of soul tools, I have unmatched talent.
"The Sun Moon Empire calls the greatest soul engineer prodigy of the millennium.
"The Empire's top soul engineers are willing to pour endless resources into .
"Even if you search the entire continent, you won't find another candidate with my potential and support."
"Tch, Bing Bing~ Don't You Want to Be With Forever?"
Skydream imdiately seized the mont, pouring on the charm.
"Bing Bing~! You should listen to Yuhao!
"He's absolutely right the humans treasure him.
"Don't you want eternal life with ?
"Bing Bing~ have you really stopped loving ?!"
His voice was full of emotion, like a devoted lover.
"SHUT UP, YOU WORTHLESS WORM!"
The Ice Empress's cold fury erupted.
"Skydream, you pathetic waste stop calling that!"
Skydream imdiately shrank back, his spiritual body trembling.
"Your Knowledge Is Outdated!"
The Ice Empress turned back to Huo Yuhao, her tone dismissive.
"Even if what you say is true, so what?
"Soul engineers are a weak and pathetic profession.
"They can never compare to soul masters of the sa rank.
"Even the so called best soul engineers an nothing to .
"In the last four thousand years, I've personally slain multiple ninth tier soul engineers who dared to enter the Extre North."
Huo Yuhao rely shook his head, unbothered.
"Ice Empress, your understanding of soul tools is outdated.
"Three thousand years may be a short ti for you, but for humans, it's a long era of progress.
"Soul tool technology has evolved beyond your imagination.
"In the modern Sun Moon Empire, we have created weapons stronger than even Limit Douluo."
"For example the ninth tier stationary soul guided cannon shell."
"The explosive power of a single one is equivalent to the full force strike of a Limit Douluo!"
"…What?!"
The Ice Empress froze.
A Limit Douluo's full force attack?!
Her cultivation level alone couldn't match a Limit Douluo.
Of course, combat power wasn't purely based on cultivation, but still Limit Douluo were foes even she had to take seriously.
And now Huo Yuhao was claiming that human technology had advanced to that level?
"Is This True?"
She turned to Huo Yuhao, her gaze sharp.
"Are you lying to ?"
Huo Yuhao t her gaze calmly.
"It's the truth."
In his heart, he added, "It's not my fault the author wrote it this way."
"Even I Can't Deny It."
Skydream Iceworm nodded seriously.
"Bing Bing, I've been attending soul tool lectures with Yuhao.
"I can tell you with absolute certainty it's real.
"The world is changing faster than we ever expected.
"I'm beginning to think… the future will be ruled by humans."
The Ice Empress Hesitates
The Ice Empress fell into deep thought.
The world was changing rapidly.
And yet, she, who had spent her life confined in the Extre North, knew nothing about it.
Few outsiders entered this frozen domain, leaving her cut off from information.
"There Is No Ti Left."
Skydream pressed further.
"Bing Bing, I've already beco a Wisdom Soul Ring.
"If you want to bet on becoming a god, you have to join .
"Otherwise, you'll never succeed."
The Ice Empress sighed.
"I could simply face the tribulation and try to beco a 400,000 year old beast…"
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.
"And then? What happens after the next 100,000 year tribulation?
"The Sun Moon Empire's soul tools are evolving faster than ever.
"How long do you think you can survive before humans wipe out all soul beasts?"
"Fine… I Accept."
The Ice Empress looked at Huo Yuhao, a hint of admiration in her eyes.
"Huo Yuhao, you're impressive. You are resolute and decisive.
"Fine.
"I will gamble on you.
"I will join you and Skydream in this quest to beco gods.
"After all… my origin energy is damaged.
"I may not survive the next tribulation anyway."
Actually, the Ice Empress had already been considering Skydream Iceworm's God Creation Plan before, but upon sensing Huo Yuhao's overwhelming spiritual power, she beca suspicious.
Could he be just so lucky human relying entirely on Skydream's fortune?
Thus, she decided to test Huo Yuhao's character.
After all, if Huo Yuhao's personality was anything like the Ice Bear King's, she would absolutely refuse to join the plan!
"Good. A Wise Man Knows When to Adapt."
Huo Yuhao t the Ice Empress's gaze, coughed lightly, and said, "Then let's begin, Brother Skydream, Ice Empress."
"Alright," Skydream nodded before beginning the process of extracting the Ice Empress's spiritual core from her body.
Monts later, under the guidance of Skydream and the Ice Empress, Huo Yuhao prepared to absorb her soul bone first before attaching her as a Martial Soul.
Of course, to minimize the pain, he first rged it with the Soul of Secret Law Right Leg Bone, since this particular soul bone's fusion trait allowed it to rge with the Ice Empress's torso bone without occupying a slot.
One Day Later
Huo Yuhao gazed up at the sky, clenching his fists as he felt the imnse power coursing through him.
Not only had he absorbed the Ice Empress's torso bone, but the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion had also beco his Martial Soul.
Moreover, under Skydream Iceworm's guidance the strongest of the Iceworm race he had hunted and killed another Iceworm, acquiring the Imitation Soul Skill.
For him, this was an incredible boost.
He carefully sensed his current soul power.
"I'm at Rank 28, a Grand Soul Master now."
"Ti to Return to Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy."
Because Sun Moon Academy's teaching thods were far superior to Shrek's especially when compared to Zhou Yi's backward mindset Huo Yuhao had been able to advance much more efficiently.
Additionally, during his ti at Sun Moon Academy, he had frequently gone treasure hunting, acquiring and consuming various natural treasures.
As a result, his soul power had grown significantly.
However, since he hadn't obtained a new soul ring, his rank remained unchanged until now.
The soul power he had accumulated all this ti instantly propelled him forward upon absorbing the second soul ring.
"Once I return, the academy will value even more.
"After all, twin martial souls are already extrely rare, and my second martial soul is an Ultimate Ice attribute, making it even more extraordinary.
"Combine that with my unparalleled talent in soul engineering, and it's clear I am officially a walking cheat code!"
"From this mont onward, I am Sun Moon Empire's greatest genius!
"Both in Martial Soul cultivation and in soul engineering, no one can surpass !
"After this trip, I wouldn't be surprised if so people start seeing as a future Limit Douluo or even a potential Rank 10 Soul Engineer!"
With that thought, Huo Yuhao activated his flying type soul tool and soared out of the Extre North.
A Few Days Later
Huo Yuhao erged from the Extre North, finally leaving behind its icy grasp.
This ti, he had been lucky.
Unlike when he entered, he hadn't encountered another massive soul beast like the Ice Bear King, allowing him to leave without any major incidents.
A Few More Days Later
Near Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, Huo Yuhao stood atop a mountain range, his expression turning grim.
Through his Spiritual Detection, he had discovered several Corpse Slaves nearby.
Corpse Slaves were creatures that only Evil Soul Masters could create.
Given that Holy Spirit Church's headquarters was hidden within the Sun Moon Empire, it was no surprise that Evil Soul Masters were secretly active here.
In fact, in the original tiline, Huo Yuhao had almost been grood as the so called Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Church.
Of course, since the Church had not yet beco an official state religion, they wouldn't dare to operate openly in Mingdu at most, they were kidnapping civilians in secret for their twisted cultivation thods.
"The Sun Moon Imperial Family… Is a Cancer."
"Raising a Holy Spirit Church under their own roof…
"No wonder the Sun Moon Empire is dood in the future."
In the original tiline, Ye Xishui, the Church's Supre Worshipper, had been a trusted advisor to the Imperial Family, proving that their alliance didn't start with Xu Tianran.
With such parasites within the Empire, how could Sun Moon ever hope to thrive?
Huo Yuhao's mind raced with thoughts.
Of course, he had no intention of confronting the Holy Spirit Church yet.
At present, the Church was far too powerful.
Take Ye Xishui, for instance.
She was not only a Twin Martial Soul Limit Douluo but also a Rank 9 Soul Engineer!
By all definitions, Ye Xishui was a true monster.
After all, Evil Soul Masters had higher combat power than ordinary soul masters, but they still struggled to reach Title Douluo becoming a Limit Douluo was even harder.
Yet Ye Xishui had done both, while also mastering soul engineering and playing with Mu En and Long Xiaoyao like fools.
Absolutely insane!
"For Now, I'll Keep a Low Profile."
"Better to grow stronger first, then crush the Holy Spirit Church later."
"After all, Sun Moon is my playground now!"
Huo Yuhao prepared to avoid the Corpse Slaves.
He had no desire to unintentionally provoke their master.
But suddenly
A Grand Voice Rumbled in His Mind.
"Hmm… traces of the dead…?
"I never expected that I had not perished entirely, but that a fragnt of my divine consciousness still lingers…"
Inside the Spiritual Sea
In his Spiritual Sea, Skydream Iceworm stared in shock at the gray figure looming overhead.
"You… you can speak?!
"Who are you, and why are you intruding on my territory?!"
Beside him, the Ice Empress, who had just woken up from her slumber, frowned in confusion.
"Skydream, who is he?"
Skydream hesitated for a mont before responding.
"Bing Bing…
"When I was transforming myself into Yuhao's Wisdom Soul Ring, I encountered this guy…"
As Skydream recounted his past encounter, the Ice Empress's expression gradually darkened.
"So… this guy is trying to steal our domain?"
"I Am Electrolux."
The gray figure let out a soft chuckle.
"Foolish little Iceworm…
"And you, little Scorpion…
"You two are strong, I'll give you that.
"But even in my current weakened state, I exist on a higher level than either of you.
"If you choose to fight , you will gain nothing but suffering.
"Besides… I have no interest in being your enemy."
As he spoke, a vast and overwhelming pressure filled the Spiritual Sea, causing both Skydream and the Ice Empress to shudder.
"Are You… a God?"
Skydream's voice trembled.
"Your spiritual energy is far more refined than mine…
"You might not have the quantity, but in quality, you surpass completely…
"Electrolux…
"Are you… a god?"
He hesitated, then added, "Can you tell us what the God Realm is truly like?"
Even the Ice Empress turned her attention to Electrolux.
After all, she knew that while Skydream was weak in battle, his spiritual power was unparalleled.
For Skydream to acknowledge soone stronger than himself…
Electrolux might really be a god.
Electrolux Chuckled.
"A god?
"Strictly speaking, I am not of this world.
"As for the God Realm… I have never been there.
"But there is one thing I do rember…
"My title.
"I am… the Necromantic Holy God.
"The Calamity of the Undead!"
Skydream's Entire Body Trembled.
