Douluo: Son of Destruction of Life, Supreme Creator!

Her strength, her wisdom, and the foundation she has accumulated over the long years are far beyond what ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts can imagine.

Even the Snow Empress herself dared not be the slightest bit negligent when facing the Silver Dragon King.

But this boy in front of me...

This boy, who descended from the realm of gods and possessed the supreme bloodlines of destruction and life, had actually seen the Silver Dragon King and even received the Mountain Dragon King's torso bone as a gift from the Silver Dragon King himself.

Xue Di's gaze fell on Gu Linyuan, and a complex emotion appeared in her icy blue eyes.

"The fact that she can give you a soul bone means that she approves of you, or at least doesn't consider you an enemy."

“You have the blood of the dragon race and have gained the approval of the Silver Dragon King... This means that in the eyes of the soul beasts, you are already one of them.”

Xue Di looked at Gu Linyuan with a hint of affection in her beautiful eyes.

They were wary when they learned that Gu Linyuan came from the realm of gods.

But since the Silver Dragon King had already screened them, Gu Linyuan was naturally trustworthy.

Xue Di guessed.

Gu Linyuan or his parents reached an agreement with the Silver Dragon King.

If that's the case, then Gu Linyuan's significance to the soul beast race is immense!

It might be related to the rise of the soul beast race!

With the divine realm holding absolute power, its attitude determines the future of soul beasts. This is something even the Silver Dragon King cannot change.

Even the Silver Dragon King couldn't change this situation on his own.

Gu Linyuan himself has unlimited potential, and he also has two God Kings standing behind him!

Even the Snow Emperor could recognize the importance of Gu Linyuan!

The gods in the divine realm who despise soul beasts are beyond change. However, if a rising star like Gu Linyuan could be friendly towards soul beasts, their situation would improve considerably.

Hyotei nodded frantically beside them.

"Right, right, right! The Silver Dragon King even sent something, so he must be one of us! I knew it! I felt something was off when I was fighting him earlier. That feeling of suppression from his bloodline was completely different from that of ordinary dragons. So you have the Dragon King's soul bone with you!"

As she got excited, she couldn't help but circle around Gu Linyuan again, her bright green eyes sparkling like a child who had discovered a new and amazing toy.

"What did the Silver Dragon King look like when you saw her? Was she incredibly imposing? Was her aura many, many times stronger than mine? Did she fight you? Could you beat her? No, you definitely couldn't. Even a Title Douluo would avoid someone of the Silver Dragon King's level..."

At this moment, Hyotei had completely lost the composure and majesty she had shown as a ferocious beast that had existed for 100,000 years.

Xue Di couldn't help but raise her hand and press her brow again, letting out a soft sigh.

"Bing'er, tone it down a bit."

Chapter 204 The Marrow of Ten Thousand Years of Frozen Ice, the Desires of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor

Deep within the ice palace, the wind and snow outside seemed to belong to a completely different world.

The entire palace was carved from ice that has never melted for thousands of years, with crystal-clear ice shards hanging from the dome, refracting a soft light that blends deep blue and snow-white.

On the central ice plate were several plates of exquisite sashimi, each slice as thin as a cicada's wing, crystal clear, and shimmering with a faint pearly luster on the ice plate.

Those are unique ice-scaled silver fish from the deepest, coldest pools in the far north. Their flesh is sweet and melts in your mouth, making them a favorite snack even the Hyotei (Ice Emperor) loves to eat.

Gu Linyuan sat beside the ice table, showing no signs of being a guest.

He raised his hand, picked up a piece of sashimi, and put it in his mouth with a natural and fluid motion.

The moment the sashimi entered my mouth, an intense sweetness melted on my tongue, followed by a refreshing chill that carried me down my throat, as if my whole being had been cleansed by a pure, icy spring.

He picked up another slice.

Another one.

He paused slightly after eating four or five pieces.

"It tastes good. I didn't expect to find such a thing in the far north."

Gu Linyuan praised.

"Of course. This is my favorite food."

"These ice-scaled silver fish are very rare. Even I don't dare to eat too many of them."

"whee."

"Now you know how good I am to you."

Hyotei propped her cheek up with her hand, her emerald green eyes fixed on Gu Linyuan with undisguised curiosity.

She watched for a while, then turned and whispered something in Xue Di's ear.

Xue Di did not respond, but simply shook her head slightly, though her gaze remained fixed on her.

Those icy blue eyes fell on Gu Linyuan, carrying a scrutinizing gaze and an indescribable temperature.

She watched as Gu Linyuan calmly picked up the fish sashimi, chewed and swallowed it slowly, showing no discomfort whatsoever from being stared at by two pairs of eyes at the same time.

"Brother Lin Yuan, I heard from Bing'er that you came here to find an Ice Silkworm?"

Xue Di looked at Gu Linyuan, her voice clear and cold like an ice spring.

The two words lingered between her lips for a moment before she uttered them softly, as if she were holding a fragile snowflake.

"Ah."

Gu Linyuan nodded, his gaze becoming serious.

"Brother Lin Yuan, given your status, why would you care about such a soul beast?"

Hyotei was also completely baffled.

Ice silkworms, aren't they the staple food of her Ice Jade Scorpion clan?

She tilted her head to look at Gu Linyuan, her emerald eyes reflecting the eerie light refracted by the ice crystals, the light flickering like her slightly accelerated heartbeat.

Her fingertips quietly caressed her cuffs under the ice table.

"Because in the far north, there is a crystal silkworm that has cultivated for a million years."

Gu Linyuan put down his chopsticks, the sound not loud, but like a pebble thrown into a deep pool.

"What? A million years?"

Hyotei's hand paused.

The chopstick, which was about to pick up the fish sashimi, was suspended in mid-air.

A million-year-old soul beast? How is that possible?

Xue Di's gaze also sharpened, and a violent ripple swept across her usually calm, icy eyes.

Her breath hitched almost imperceptibly for a moment.

"Even a soul beast like the Ice Silkworm struggles to break through 100,000 years, how could this be possible..."

She stopped halfway through her sentence.

Ice silkworms occupy the lowest level of the ecological niche in the far north.

They move slowly, have no special abilities, and almost no means of self-defense, so they can only barely survive by hiding in ice crevices and deep snow layers.

The vast majority of ice silkworms do not live more than a thousand years. Those that can live more than ten thousand years are considered an exception, and those that live more than one hundred thousand years are unheard of.

But when Gu Linyuan said those words, she instinctively wanted to believe them.

"It was originally no different from an ordinary ice silkworm. In order to avoid its natural enemy, it accidentally fell into an ice crevice. The bottom of that ice crevice contained a large amount of ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow, and it relied on absorbing this ice marrow to continuously accumulate energy while sleeping. Just by eating and sleeping, it pushed its cultivation level to hundreds of thousands of years."

"There was no battle, no tribulation, and no growth process that any soul beast should go through."

"However, because it broke through unconsciously while asleep, it was not noticed by heaven and earth, and thus escaped the heavenly tribulation."

Hyotei's chopsticks finally fell back down, and the sashimi landed gently on the ice plate with a very soft sound.

She slowly turned her head and met Xue Di's gaze.

Xue Di did not speak.

She lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on her interlaced fingertips.

She knew that there was ancient ice marrow in the far north.

Those ice marrows are hidden deep beneath the earth's layers and are one of the most precious resources in the entire ice field. Even she herself had ventured deep into those dark crevices in search of ice marrows.

But she never imagined that the reserves of those ice marrows would be large enough for an ice silkworm to break through to a million years by consuming them.

Simply eating and sleeping, purely accumulating energy.

"Brother Lin Yuan."

"Where is it now?"

Hyotei's fingers tightened slightly, then loosened again.

There was a hint of urgency in her voice.

"Not yet. I'm planning to search the far north thoroughly for a while. If all goes well, I should be able to find some clues."

The gazes of Hyotei and Yuki-tei met once again.

The gaze was extremely brief, like two shooting stars crossing the night sky, fleeting in an instant, but both of them understood its meaning.

Ice marrow. A large amount of ice marrow.

If that ice silkworm can live for millions of years by consuming ice marrow, then the place where it has been dormant for so long likely still has a large amount of residual ice marrow that has not been exhausted.

Once the location of that ice crevice is determined, its value will be immeasurable.

"Brother Lin Yuan, if you're looking for the Ice Silkworm, can you take us with you?"

"We are the masters of the far north; no one knows this place better than us—every crevasse and every snow valley."

Hyotei tilted his head, his emerald green eyes gleaming.

She was eager to try, with a hint of coquetry in her voice.

If nothing unexpected happens, she would have no chance of breaking through the five hundred thousand-year tribulation.

But if there is a large amount of Frost Marrow, then it's a different story!
