Chapter 26 — "Teacher… disciple… has finally seen you again."
"Yes."
A calm voice rang out. The Skydream Ice Silkworm instinctively turned its head, only to see that the young man from before had somehow appeared behind him. The spirit form he projected radiated a noble rose-gold hue.
"You… how do you possess these? You're a God of the Divine Realm!?"
"Well… I used to be," Huo Yuhao said after a pause, shaking his head with a faint, bitter smile.
"Ever since the moment I died, it was as if I had been abandoned by time itself. All my past achievements lost all meaning."
He paused briefly, then continued, "Now, the one standing here is nothing more than an ordinary human."
"An ordinary human, you say…"
If every human were like him, what would the world even be like?
The Skydream Ice Silkworm muttered inwardly but then casually said aloud, "No wonder I felt such familiarity with you at first glance. Looks like you've been bullied, just like me, huh?"
"Don't worry, I've got your back! Sooner or later, we'll go back and settle the score!"
From everything he had seen and from what Huo Yuhao had revealed, the Ice Silkworm had already begun to sense the truth.
After all, only a deity could have been reduced to such a state.
It was highly likely that Huo Yuhao had been severely wounded by other gods of the Divine Realm, leaving only a sliver of consciousness, and had ended up in the Douluo Continent.
This meant that even after they became gods in the future, they would likely face threats from other deities. But to him, that was not a concern.
Choosing to become a human spirit ring had been a gamble for him. Anyone bold enough to make that choice would have already considered the possibility of failure—and once a choice was made, there was no room for regret.
Moreover, what Huo Yuhao had already shown inspired immense confidence. With the addition of this million-year-old spirit beast as an ally, it was practically a fusion of two powerful forces.
When the time came, facing any opponent would be nothing more than an effortless slaughter.
This… was sacred vengeance! For a moment, the Skydream Ice Silkworm felt its own blood surging with excitement.
Huo Yuhao, however, had no idea that the Skydream Ice Silkworm was already spinning a wild narrative in its mind:
—A tale of betrayal by fellow gods, a desperate escape of a lone soul, and a vow of revenge echoing like thirty years above the river, thirty years below, and countless other dramatic imaginings.
Listening to the Skydream Ice Silkworm's casual voice, Huo Yuhao felt a faint sense of nostalgia from his previous life. He pressed his lips together, let out a soft laugh, and nodded.
"Alright."
As the array's light dissipated, a flash gleamed from Huo Yuhao's chest, and a miniature version of the Skydream Dream Ice Silkworm leaped out, only to be caught in Huo Yuhao's hand just in time.
After sensing its own state, the round little head bobbed excitedly.
"This feeling… truly remarkable. Even better than my own intelligent spirit ring. Let me help expand your spiritual sea a bit… Hmm, I have to say, your physical constitution is really impressive."
Suddenly, it seemed to recall something. "Ah, right, Yuhao. I also provided you with an ice-elemental spirit, but you can't use it just yet, can you!?"
Huo Yuhao raised his hand slightly, forming a phantom grip. Piercing cold radiated from his palm, and the surrounding moisture froze into dazzling ice blossoms. The blossoms gradually coalesced into a dagger of icy blue—the form of the White Tiger Dagger.
Just as Huo Yuhao had predicted two years ago, he had already absorbed the ice-elemental spirit he had acquired from Yu Ming, one capable of evolution.
Now, after absorbing the ice-elemental essence extracted by the Skydream Ice Silkworm, the spirit had completed its initial evolution. Perhaps due to the purity of the ice-elemental energy, it had not become an ice silkworm but instead resembled Ling Luochen's ice-elemental spirit.
However, having absorbed so many crystallized cores of ancient ice marrow, the quality of his spirit far surpassed Ling Luochen's. Yet, without spirit skills for now, Huo Yuhao could only regulate temperature through spirit power.
As for forming the dagger, this was purely thanks to Huo Yuhao's mastery of ice elements from his previous life.
The scene left the Skydream Ice Silkworm stunned. It felt more certain than ever that meeting Huo Yuhao was no coincidence. With its previous suspicions confirmed, it felt nothing but happiness.
Both were bound by fate; the more powerful Huo Yuhao became, the easier his own life would be.
After unsealing part of the first source power and merging it with Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the Skydream Ice Silkworm could no longer withstand the mental fatigue. It bade farewell and returned into Huo Yuhao's body, sinking into a deep slumber.
Once again, silence enveloped the spirit space.
Huo Yuhao's spirit form quietly observed the spiritual sea, now nearly doubled in size. He suddenly turned his gaze instinctively toward a particular spot.
With a flash, he appeared beside a grey mist. Trembling, he raised his hand and gently touched it. Slowly, tears glimmered in his eyes, spilling down with the movement of his lips.
"Teacher… disciple… has finally seen you again."
The grey mist trembled slightly, as if reacting to Huo Yuhao's words, then sank back into silence.
At this point, Electroluxwas just a lingering remnant of a soul with no memory. It could only resist the fading of divine awareness through slumber. Its ability to respond now was the limit; for it to stabilize and regain memory, it would need to obtain the Golden Life Essence.
Moments later, Huo Yuhao, sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes again.
Counting the previous months' accumulation, his spirit power had already reached Level 13 immediately after absorbing the new spirit ring. And with the evolution of his second martial spirit, his appearance had slightly changed.
While the facial changes were subtle, his skin had lightened considerably, now faintly luminous, reminiscent of the Ice Silkworm's own body.
Most importantly, the first spirit ring bestowed by the Skydream Ice Silkworm was activated. His pupils glowed with golden light, and a ring of purple spirit energy slowly rose from the ground beneath him. Suddenly, it blazed brilliantly, and his spirit detection expanded to a radius of two hundred meters around him.
Spirit detection, enhanced by both spirit power and mental strength, was already close in effect to what he had experienced at three rings in his past life. The spirit ring's age also contributed—one ring could sustain for a thousand years, reflecting just how much the Sin of Pride had enhanced his physical constitution.
"It's time to head back… hm?"
As he prepared to return, Huo Yuhao instinctively narrowed his detection range into a line to check for nearby danger. But as his spirit detection swept in a particular direction, his brow furrowed sharply, and his figure shot forward.
After he left, the space he had occupied twisted violently. A white figure emerged slowly, appearing deep in thought, quietly observing the direction in which Huo Yuhao had departed.
