"Congratulations, my lord!"
When Di Tian and Bi Ji saw Yuhao stand up, they immediately stepped forward.
Looking into Yuhao's eyes, the two soul beast kings could not help but feel a faint palpitation in their hearts.
Those eyes—deep blue in color, with pupils tinged with purple-gold light—were still young and immature, yet they already carried a terrifying potential. It was as if, given enough time, they would inevitably grow into eyes that overlooked all beings beneath the heavens.
Yuhao waved his hand lightly and said nothing, his attention already sinking into his Sea of Spirit.
When he awakened for the second time earlier, he had already sensed that Yi Lao had awakened once more.
Inside the Sea of Spirit, as Yuhao's spiritual body appeared, Tianmeng Iceworm immediately rushed over excitedly.
"Xiao Yuhao, this time you've truly encountered a heaven-defying opportunity. Your Spirit Eyes Martial Soul can now absolutely be ranked among the top-tier martial souls of this world. Even the Ice Martial Soul I originally planned to give you can no longer compare with it."
Hearing Tianmeng Iceworm's excited praise, Yuhao smiled faintly and raised his head to look at the gray mist-like particles suspended above the Sea of Spirit.
"Senior, please come out and explain."
"Yuhao, you already noticed that this guy woke up? Brother has to remind you—although this old fellow only has a trace of consciousness left, his level is terrifyingly high. Even I can't drive him away now. You must be careful."
Tianmeng Iceworm spoke in a solemn tone.
Yuhao naturally understood Tianmeng's goodwill, but he also knew very clearly that Electrolux was not someone with malicious intent.
"Little fellow, it is indeed a coincidence that I entered your Sea of Spirit. You can rest assured—I will never harm you. After all, with only a remnant of consciousness left, I have no way of leaving your Sea of Spirit anyway."
Electrolux's voice sounded calm and ancient.
Due to the severe damage his consciousness had suffered, he had lost most of his memories. Even now, he could not recall his own name.
"Hmph, you make it sound nice. Who knows what you're really thinking."
Tianmeng Iceworm muttered softly, still filled with hostility toward Electrolux.
"Little insect, shut your foul mouth. Otherwise, when I recover even a fraction more of my consciousness, I'll crush your fat body until nothing is left."
"…Your brother is really scared of you!"
How could Tianmeng Iceworm's temperament tolerate such humiliation? He immediately flared up, ready to fight Electrolux once again.
"Enough, Brother Tianmeng."
Yuhao quickly reached out and restrained Tianmeng Iceworm, then turned toward Electrolux.
"Senior, you can call me Yuhao. Your memory seems incomplete—is it because your consciousness fragment is too damaged?"
"Yes."
Electrolux answered honestly.
"I have lost most of my memories. Aside from knowing that I do not belong to this world, the only sentence I can still remember is—
'Holding the sun and moon in my hands to pluck the stars, there is none in this world like me.'"
As he finished speaking, Electrolux let out a few low chuckles.
Yuhao could not help clicking his tongue inwardly.
Yi Lao really is Yi Lao. Even with his memories shattered, his arrogance still runs as freely as the wind—and it's always right beside me.
Electrolux did not notice Yuhao's strange expression and continued speaking.
"Yuhao, no matter what, it is because of you that I managed to survive. I now possess only a trace of consciousness. When I recover even a little strength, I will do everything in my power to help you grow stronger and repay this life-saving grace."
"Thank you, senior."
Yuhao was genuinely delighted.
In this world, Yuhao might be the only person who truly understood who Yi Lao was.
The Holy Law God of the Undead!
If not for the restrictions imposed by the world laws of the Divine Seal Throne Plane, Electrolux would have already ascended to godhood by relying solely on his own strength.
He had even created an Undead Plane of his own—something that even most gods were incapable of accomplishing.
This alone was enough to prove how terrifying Electrolux truly was.
If his original body had not fallen into Tang San's scheme, then with Electrolux's help, Yuhao might have been able to condense his own divine position without relying on external inheritance.
Seeing Yuhao's sincere respect, Electrolux's voice softened further.
"There is no need to thank me. I will first focus on repairing my consciousness. If you encounter a danger you cannot resist, call upon me."
After those words, Electrolux's presence gradually fell silent once more.
"Tsk. With brother around, what danger could he possibly encounter? Talking so big."
Tianmeng Iceworm snorted dismissively.
Yuhao shook his head helplessly and smiled.
"Brother Tianmeng, don't be angry with the old man. From now on, you'll all be neighbors."
"Hmph, I don't care about him."
Tianmeng Iceworm said coldly, then disappeared into the depths of the Sea of Spirit, whether to sleep or cultivate was anyone's guess.
...
Yuhao's consciousness returned to the outside world.
Looking at the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product and the other immortal herbs before him, Yuhao spoke solemnly:
"You have helped me once today. In the future, I will definitely repay this favor."
The group of fairy grass soul beasts did not reply. They merely swayed gently in the wind, uncertain whether the decision they had made today was right or wrong.
Yuhao did not dwell on their hesitation. Turning around, he prepared to leave.
He had obtained everything he sought—and far more than he had expected.
Seeing that their lord was about to depart, a trace of hesitation flashed through Di Tian's eyes as he stepped forward and spoke in a low voice.
"My lord, what should be done with the corpses of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King?"
"These two corpses have been buried here for countless years. Let them remain for now. I will personally retrieve them later."
In truth, the most precious things within the entire Ice and Fire Eyes Valley were not the countless immortal herbs, but rather the corpses of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King buried deep beneath it.
These were god-king-level remains.
Unfortunately, Yuhao's current strength was far too weak. Even possessing the Golden Dragon King's bloodline martial soul, he was still unable to utilize such terrifying corpses.
Recklessly removing them now might even attract the covetous gaze of a certain shameless God King.
Thus, it was better to leave them here temporarily and retrieve them only after he had gained sufficient strength to absorb and use them.
Di Tian naturally obeyed Yuhao's command and did not ask further questions.
"Let's go."
Yuhao gave the order. The two soul beast kings flanked him on either side, and one human and two beasts soon left the Ice and Fire Eyes Valley.
...
After Yuhao and the others completely disappeared, the valley, which had fallen silent, suddenly erupted into chaos.
"Youyou, how do you explain this?"
"You don't really believe he can allow soul beasts to retain their consciousness after becoming soul rings, do you?"
"That's right! Youyou, you were far too reckless. I even had to expend part of my origin power!"
...
Before Yuhao absorbed the two immortal herbs, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product had persuaded the other fairy grass soul beasts to release their respective immortal auras to assist him.
In exchange, she had promised to give them an explanation afterward.
Once the clamor gradually subsided, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product slowly spoke.
"Everyone, I know you don't believe him. To be honest, even I still harbor doubts."
"But if we want to leave this valley and change our fate, we have no choice but to believe."
As Youyou's words fell, the valley gradually quieted, leaving only her gentle yet firm voice echoing.
"Although we are hostile toward him, we must admit that he possesses the potential to become a god. He is even more terrifying than that man from ten thousand years ago. And now, with the Beast God Di Tian supporting him, the probability of him not becoming a god is far lower than the probability of his success."
"If a human destined to become a god masters a method that allows soul beasts to preserve their consciousness, do you understand what that means for us—or for all soul beasts?"
"Become… a god?"
The remaining five ten-thousand-year fairy grass soul beasts spoke in unison, their voices trembling with shock and excitement.
"Yes."
Youyou's voice was filled with fervor.
"You will become gods."
"At that time, it will no longer be him searching for soul rings—
it will be all soul beasts begging to become his soul rings."
