In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

"Okay, I respect your choice," Lin Hai said. "But you must remember, power in this world always belongs to the strong, and destiny depends on your own level of achievement."

After saying that, Lin Hai stood up, preparing to leave. He knew that today was enough; he needed time to familiarize himself with his power and to formulate his next plan.

Just as Lin Hai was about to leave, Tang Chen suddenly spoke up.

"etc!"

Lin Hai stopped and turned to look at Tang Chen.

"Although I will not submit to you, I am willing to cooperate with you," Tang Chen said.

"You are very powerful. I believe that if we join forces, we will be able to accomplish a lot."

There was one more thing he didn't say: after entering the God Realm, Lin Hai would still need someone to assist him.

Lin Hai smiled slightly upon hearing this, knowing that Tang Chen had finally made the right choice.

"Very good," Lin Hai said. "You made the right choice."

You'll be so glad you made that decision later!

After saying that, Lin Hai turned and left, leaving Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu in deep thought.

"You are a dignified Haotian Douluo, how could you submit like this?" Qian Daoliu turned to look at Tang Chen.

"Heh!" Tang Chen chuckled softly.

"You call yourself the renowned Sky Douluo! Didn't you just get outmatched?"

"If it's this kid, then it's a good deal!"

"You saw what that kid was wearing just now, didn't you?"

"That throne looks extremely simple, but the power it exudes is truly beyond our reach."

"Having lived in the Killing City for so many years, I have also come into contact with divine artifacts."

"And the weapon of the god of slaughter that I inherited is a super artifact called the Slaughter Demon Sword."

"Although the Demon Sword of Slaughter did not unleash its true power."

"But the chair that little person was sitting on just now made me feel the same oppressive aura as the Demon Realm of Slaughter."

"You mean the chair that kid is sitting on is a super artifact that's even more advanced than a divine artifact?"

"Hoo..." Tang Chen took a deep breath.

"That's right!"

"So there's a reason he's so confident. And is that reason because he possesses an ultimate artifact?"

"With a super artifact in hand, becoming a first-level god is not a difficult task for him."

"It's even possible that when he obtains godhood, he could become a powerhouse on par with the gods of the City of Slaughter."

"Is that so!" Qian Daoliu murmured to himself. He marveled, "Is this what it feels like to see things from God's perspective?"

……

Lin Hai originally thought he would have a fight with Tang Chen.

But to everyone's surprise, Tang Chen remained remarkably calm, managing to control himself completely.

It seems that Tang Chen's state of mind has changed after experiencing the interference of the Rakshasa God.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer!" Lin Hai murmured softly.

Everyone is working hard; it's just a matter of who will have the last laugh.

Even after Tang Chen left, he still couldn't help but want to find Poseidon, who was also one of his ultimate goals in becoming a god.

He also wanted to see the outstanding junior that Lin Hai had mentioned who had a grudge against Lin Hai.

Whether they will ultimately defect back to Tang San's camp is another matter entirely.

Lin Hai didn't care. The reason Lin Hai told Tang Chen about Tang San's relationship with Poseidon was simply to see what choice Tang Chen would make.

If Tang San had chosen Poseidon, it would have been a win-win situation, adding another obstacle to his path to godhood.

If Tang Chen chooses Tang San, it doesn't matter, because this kind of thing will happen regardless of whether Lin Hai meets Tang Chen beforehand, and Lin Hai can't stop it.

In any case, Lin Hai was testing Tang San from another angle regarding Tang Chen.

Or rather, to deprive Tang San of the support he received from the Clear Sky Sect.

Lin Hai wants to alienate Tang San from his followers.

If we simply condemn Tang San's sins and call it a day, that would be too lenient on him.

Although Tang San's greatest sins were not committed in his own time, the sins he committed in later generations are countless.

Following the memories in his heart, Tang Chen drifted across the sea and arrived at the place in his memory that haunted his dreams.

"Hmm?" On the Sea God Temple on Sea God Island, Poseidon felt a powerful force approaching the island, and she opened her eyes.

Poseidon vanished from her spot, and the next moment, her stunning figure reappeared above Poseidon Island.

As the powerful aura drew ever closer, Poseidon's beautiful eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

A moment later, having sensed the arrival of those who had reached Poseidon Island, Poseidon coldly demanded, "Who goes there, daring to trespass on Poseidon Island!"

Tang Chen heard the long-lost voice, and his flying body paused for a moment.

"It's me!" Tang Chen replied.

Tang Chen quickened his pace and appeared in front of Poseidon in the next instant.

"It's been a long time, Poseidon!" Tang Chen's voice softened considerably upon seeing the figure from his memories.

Tang Chen's sudden appearance startled Poseidon for a moment. She murmured, "Tang Chen?"

"It's me!"

"You're back!" Poseidon's tone seemed to have eased.

"I thought I'd never have the chance to see you again!" Poseidon said in a relaxed tone.

Poseidon thought she was the only one who understood the meaning behind those words. However, Tang Chen, who had previously visited Qian Daoliu, also understood the meaning behind Poseidon's words.

Tang Chen's heart tightened. Poseidon's words seemed to imply that her sacrifice was not far off.

"Since you've come, it proves you've succeeded."

"I am happy for your success," Poseidon said sincerely.

"I succeeded. I've come to fulfill my promise," Tang Chen said, looking at Poseidon with deep affection.

"I'm sorry, I can't keep my promise."

"Why? Is it because of the legacy of the sea god?"

"It seems you already know," Poseidon said softly.

"My time is running out. Please forgive me, Tang Chen!"

"This is my destiny."

"To hell with fate."

"Where is that kid who received the Sea God's inheritance! Tell him to come out!!" Tang Chen said with an air of authority despite his lack of anger.

"They've gone out to take the Sea God's test! They're not here," Poseidon said, shaking his head.

……

Lin Hai opened his eyes and spoke inside the offering hall.

"It's time to complete my spirit rings."

"You finally remembered that your soul rings aren't complete yet!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttered in Lin Hai's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

"Things can't be rushed!"

"Um... um..." Suddenly, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm became hesitant and awkward.

"Tianmeng, just say what you have to say. There's no need to be so hesitant."

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

"Hehehe, we've worked together for so long, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"I just want to ask if I could go to the far north, just... just..." Tianmeng Bingcan's tone was full of shyness.

"Going to find your old flame, huh!" Lin Hai chuckled.

When confronted directly, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm responded with an "Mmm".

"If she's willing, I'd be happy to be with her too."

"She'll agree. Leave this to me!" Tianmeng Bingcan immediately assured him, fearing that Lin Hai might change his mind.

In fact, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's worries were completely unnecessary. Lin Hai also liked the spirit ring of a spirit beast that was over 100,000 years old, because such a spirit ring contained more energy and could better help him take that final step.

However, its concerns were not unfounded. After all, Lin Hai was simply too outstanding. Initially, it had only set its sights on Lin Hai as a potential investment, but it hadn't expected the stock to rise so well, and it seemed poised to reach its peak. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was worried that Lin Hai might not be interested in ice-attribute soul beasts due to their elemental affinity. Now that it had received Lin Hai's opinion, it naturally had to act quickly and decisively to prevent Lin Hai from changing his mind.

Lin Hai left without warning, and after a spatial fluctuation, he disappeared from the offering hall. His departure went unnoticed by anyone.

After an unknown number of days, Lin Hai arrived at the far north, a place known as a forbidden zone for humans. For Lin Hai, given his current level of power, this so-called forbidden zone was merely a matter of perspective for outsiders; it was simply a different place to enjoy the scenery.

"It's up to you now."

"Okay, leave the rest to me!" said Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

Clusters of golden light began to emerge from between Lin Hai's eyebrows.

These golden lights are the very essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's spirit, its core power.

These golden lights slowly descended from the sky. The first ball landed directly on the snow, followed by the second ball on top of it. Then, ball after ball was added, and the overall volume gradually decreased, while the gold became more and more solid.

Nine clusters of golden light overlapped and gradually took shape, eventually coalescing into a golden light figure, which was the image that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm itself had transformed into, and would also be its future image.

A powerful will spread out the moment the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual body took shape: "Ice Emperor, I have returned. Do you dare to see me?"

Lin Hai raised an eyebrow in the void; he had finally witnessed the methods of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

After saying that, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm calmed down, but the golden light on its body became even more intense.

The bright golden light stood out starkly against the snow-covered world. The sky grew darker, and the clouds pressed down, making the atmosphere between heaven and earth increasingly heavy. Yet, even in this dim space, the golden light emanating from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was dazzlingly radiant.

After the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm left his body, Lin Hai stood in the void, watching its performance. Within the range that Lin Hai could sense, tens of thousands of soul beasts were scattering in terror.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm seemed in no hurry at all; it simply stood there quietly, unmoved by the howling wind.

Perhaps, in terms of direct combat power, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm might struggle against a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. However, in terms of pure spiritual power, no soul beast in the entire Douluo Continent can rival it.

The biggest problem with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm lies in its bloodline. Although it has cultivated for millions of years, it is still just a low-level soul beast, the Ice Silkworm. This origin, while making it stronger through continuous evolution and possessing immense energy from the constant nourishment of ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow, makes it like a treasure mountain—possessing immense wealth but unable to use it. Measured by human soul master standards, it is a powerful being with terrifying soul power, yet lacking any soul rings or soul skills.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm used its terrifying spiritual power to simulate an aura from the far north that made even the soul beasts dare not harbor the slightest thought of resistance. That aura belonged to the leader of the three Heavenly Kings of the far north, a fellow with 500,000 years of cultivation and a noble bloodline.

Because of Lin Hai's presence, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm makes no attempt to evade the domains of the three great emperors of the far north. With someone backing it up, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm can act as it pleases.

Based on its understanding of the Ice Emperor, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm believed that the Ice Emperor would definitely come. Faced with such a massive tonic as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, no soul beast could resist the temptation. Especially the Ice Emperor, whose cultivation had exceeded 300,000 years, yet who was inevitably unable to break through the 400,000-year barrier.

Just as Ice Emperor knew it very well, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm also knew Ice Emperor very well. When Ice Emperor almost killed it, its cultivation had just broken through 300,000 years, and now it seems that it is not far from 400,000 years.

The Ice Emperor had said before that when it broke through 300,000 years of cultivation, it had reached its limit and damaged its origin, making it unable to pass the 400,000-year mark. Only by absorbing the vast and pure energy of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could it possibly break free of its constraints and even surpass the number one ranked among the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

Without Tianmeng Ice Silkworm making any attempt to conceal it, the originally pitch-black clouds suddenly rippled violently, and then, from the distant northern horizon, several beams of light instantly spread over.

There are emerald green and snow white colors.

In an instant, the pitch-black sky transformed into a vibrant, alluring emerald green, its captivating hue like the heavens suddenly shifting into a colossal, emerald-green gem. The oppressive atmosphere that had hung in the air vanished without a trace.

The pure white snow and the emerald green stood in stark contrast, the snow-white color bringing only the bitter cold, that touch of snow was extremely noble, and the snow in the sky stopped moving.

"Tianmeng, you're still alive! You shameless bastard, you truly deserve to be the longest-lived creature in our far north!" A clear voice rang out from all directions.

The sound, accompanied by a terrifying sonic wave, caused the snow on the ground to rise almost instantly by three meters, like a sudden surge of waves. Only the area within a hundred meters of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's body remained calm, completely protected by the immense spiritual power emanating from it.

Lin Hai concealed himself, and neither the emerald green figure nor the snow-white figure noticed him.

"Hyotei, you're still alive, so why can't I live? Do you remember what I said back then? If I don't die, one day I will become your partner." Tianmeng Bingcan's voice suddenly became very gentle, and that sweet and cloying voice gave people goosebumps.

"Wow! Tianmeng has such eloquence. I have to say, the power of love is truly amazing."

"So you're the Ice Silkworm Soul Beast that Bingbing mentioned, the one that's lived for a very, very long time?" (End of Chapter)
