"The huge battle that ensued included nearly every single soul beast in the Spirit Hunting Forest whose age exceeded ten thousand. They fought so desperately! I originally thought that I now had a chance to escape. However, who could've known that they'd be so crafty? Once the battle had almost ended, they actually stopped and negotiated with each other. In the end, a tragedy occurred to this Brother. They finally came to an agreement, deciding to absorb my power together, since the spiritforce in my body was large enough. After that, they trapped me in the centre of the Spirit Hunting Forest and forced me to release the Heaven and Earth Spirit Power from my body for them to absorb. The stronger spirit beasts would be closer to me, and the benefits they obtained would thus be greater. These bastards practically took this Brother as food."
"Ah, since I had no way to resist them, I could only let them order me around. I tried to think of a plan to break free from their control, having my energy drained by them. My Spirit Power was very pure, thus there was enough for them to absorb it for over ten thousand years. After a few thousand years of pondering and observing, I discovered that I'd not only need to escape from them, but would also need to conceal my aura to successfully break free from their control. You humans then appeared in my line of sight. There were a few times when some especially strong humans entered the depths of the Spirit Hunting Forest to hunt those hundred thousand year spirit beasts. Unfortunately, they were struck by a tragedy. Under the nourishment of this Brother, the high ranking spirit beasts within the Spirit Hunting Forest had definitely become the strongest spirit beasts on the Spirit Continent. Although those humans had extremely strong weapons, they could only suffer a big defeat. However, this allowed me to understand the advantages you humans had."
"This Brother is a spirit and ice dual-attribute spirit beast. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to think of a way to become a human's spirit ring. If this happened, that human would definitely become extraordinarily strong, and I could rely on my spirit-type attribute to preserve my own consciousness. Thus, I would become an unprecedented intelligent spirit ring. Humph, once that happened, This Brother would definitely get revenge, and would help that human kill all of the bastards who persecuted this Brother. Hence, I started carrying out my plan. However, who could've known that I'd fail on my first attempt? The guy that I chose was what you humans call a Titled Spirit, and he was rather strong. However, he was truly rubbish. He actually exploded immediately, before even seeing my real body. He couldn't even withstand the shock of my spirit energy. Only then did I discover that becoming my host wasn't something so simple. They would first need to have a spirit-type attribute as well, and be able to sustain the energy of my spirit power. This was something that was even harder. Hence, I had no results, even after searching for a few thousand years. At that point, my spiritforce had almost been fully drained by those hundred thousand year spirit beasts. This Brother would've soon become akin to a candle that had no wax left."
"However, the Heavens still took care of This Brother. When This Brother had already despaired, the tenth golden pattern appeared on my body. I'd finally become an unprecedented million year spirit beast. After the tenth golden pattern appeared, I finally possessed the power to resist those combat-oriented hundred thousand year spirit beasts, and I could also conceal my own aura. Thus, I renamed myself as the Stardream Iceworm; I was no longer a Gold-patterned Iceworm. However, I was definitely unable to beat so many hundred thousand year spirit beasts. Furthermore, my Heaven and Earth Spirit Power had almost been fully absorbed by them. The only power that I still had was my spiritforce, which was what would provide the greatest aid to them. These were my two great attributes, which had yet to be absorbed. Revenge was something currently unattainable for me. Hence, I found an opportunity, and used the energy that I had obtained after breaking through to conceal my aura. Then, I escaped by burrowing through the earth."
"Aih——" The Stardream Iceworm sighed. "Unfortunately, This Brother still suffered a tragedy. Breaking through to a million year spirit beast was actually a double edged sword. Although I managed to barely break free from their control, my lifespan suddenly reached its end due to the Tribulation that abruptly arrived. If I wasn't able to preserve my life with other methods, I would've died soon from exhaustion; it was also at this moment when This Brother met you, a young fellow. Although you were good, Brother had no other choice! Yet, you also had a spirit-type attribute. Hence, This Brother could only to merge with your body. No matter which way you look at it, those bastards can't obtain this Brother's most precious thing."
Sai Joshi had already forgotten his fear from earlier as he listened to the Stardream Iceworm's story. He felt righteously indignant as he said, "They're too despicable. How could they be like this? They actually trapped you for almost ten thousand years!"
The Stardream Iceworm felt that his anger gave them common ground as he said, "Exactly! Although This Brother is quite cute, quite handsome, and quite strong, they simply can't treat This Brother as food! Things are good now though. On the whole, I've managed to escape and not allow them to obtain This Brother's body. Sai Joshi, although you're young and your abilities are still lacking, it's fortunate that you're still pure. Brother will treat this as a plan to raise you up. When you're strong in the future, you must help This Brother get revenge! Didn't they rely on my spiritforce to evolve? In the future, turn them into your spirit rings and spirit bones! Humph!"
