Chapter 42: Creating a God? (Part 1)

  Tian Meng Bing Can nodded in agreement, saying: "That's right, it's indeed the humans. Although there are some of us soul beasts who were born with noble blood and possess strong physical bodies from birth, we can't deny that compared to human potential, we fall far short. The human body is almost insignificant compared to your Ice Jade Scorpion tribe, but a human with exceptional talent, after just a few decades of cultivation, can already rival the strength of our tribe members who have cultivated for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. Why is that? It's because of the difference in potential. The human body is fragile and their lifespan is short, but their potential has been blessed by heaven, something we can't match no matter what. This is humanity's advantage, and also our deficiency."

  "What's most important is that human height is beyond our reach, do you still remember things from ten thousand years ago?"

  "The Emperor of Ice said: 'The heavens and earth change color, instantly becoming divine.'"

  "That's right. At that time, I felt the presence of at least five great gods. And before that, in the Starry Forest where I was, two beast kings had fallen. They were powerful existences in the core area, although they were inferior to those guys who were absorbing my energy in terms of cultivation age. However, the two beast kings themselves were extremely powerful. One of them had Titan blood like the Titan Snow Demon King, and the other had dragon blood. But they still fell, not because they were killed by enemies, but because they fulfilled the strongest human being from thousands of years ago, who later became the greatest god."

  It paused for a moment before continuing in an even deeper voice, "Ice Emperor, you must know. Only the life of a god is infinite!"

  The Ice Emperor fell silent. Tian Meng, the ice silkworm, took advantage of the heat to strike while the iron was hot and said: "When our soul beasts reach a cultivation level of 100,000 years, we all have one chance to choose to re-cultivate into humans. However, those who truly have the courage to re-cultivate as humans are extremely rare. Because we can't guarantee whether we can break through in just a hundred years. Even if we do break through, our lifespan is unlikely to exceed 500 years. Becoming a god is just an illusion for us. The mainland has been thriving for over a billion years. We soul beasts have existed since the time of humans, but how many soul beasts have become gods with endless lives through re-cultivation?"

  "This is also the important reason why you soul beasts with noble bloodlines would rather choose to rush into the great limit than be reborn as humans, isn't that right?"

  "I'm not willing to try that vague and unreliable method, I don't want to wither away in the process of rebirth. As a second choice, I chose another way. That is to create a god. A god has already been born. And although I am not a god, I can follow this god and have endless life together, becoming a part of the god. So, I chose to become a soul ring. An intelligent soul ring. I will use my power to help him gradually become a god."

  "That's right, in your eyes, I'm just a waste. But I have a million years of cultivation. When I became his wisdom soul ring, I brought him four skills, which is twice as many as your 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Although I didn't bring him any soul bones, but I brought him a martial soul, making him a dual martial soul. This young man is only twelve years old this year, but his talent has gradually emerged with my help, and he also has a more stable mindset and stronger willpower than humans of the same age. With my assistance, why can't he become a new god like that existence from 10,000 years ago?"

  Listening to this, Bing Di finally moved and said in a low voice: "How confident are you?"

  "If it were just me, I wouldn't be confident more than 30%. After all, I'm not good at attacking and can't give him enough ability to protect himself. However..."

  It suddenly stopped here.

  "What is it?" Ice Emperor asked in puzzlement.

  "I know what you're thinking right now, you're thinking of finding a human, just like me, to attempt god creation. You're not wrong, in many ways you'll be stronger than me if you were to create a god, and your success would undoubtedly surpass mine. But you've forgotten one thing - your spiritual power is nowhere near as strong as mine. More importantly, do you have the time to study the process I've already completed? Your life has less than a century left, whereas I spent tens of thousands of years thinking about this grand endeavor and experimented numerous times before finally succeeding. You don't have the time to redo it all again. Even if I were willing to let you go, the path I've walked is not suitable for you to follow."

  "What's the point of talking to you?" The Ice Emperor suddenly became furious, a glimmer of hope that had just risen in her heart was ruthlessly destroyed by Tian Meng's merciless words.

  "Of course not, dear. How could I let you die? Since I've spoken of my plan, it's naturally possible for me to help you! You're right, it's unrealistic for you to create a god on your own. You can't find a human who can withstand merging with you, and even if you did, there's no guarantee you'd retain your sanity and spiritual integrity after the merge. But I have experience! I've done it once before! And under my powerful spiritual foundation's protection, your chances of success would increase at least tenfold. What I said earlier will depend on you. True, the possibility of me creating a god alone is less than 30%, but if we do it together, our chances of success will exceed 50%! An eternal life opportunity that exceeds one-half - isn't it worth taking a gamble?"

  The Ice Emperor was stunned, and he finally understood what Tian Meng Bing Xian had been saying all along. A pair of crystal yellow eyes fell on Huo Yu Hao, revealing a hint of strange light.

  Huò Yǔhào had been quietly listening to the conversation between Tiān Mèng Bīng Cán and Bīng Dì, his body was cold but his heart was hot. He couldn't help but admit that Tiān Mèng Bīng Cán's words were too inciting. Especially for Bīng Dì who was about to reach the end of his life. This glimmer of hope was really too dazzling. No wonder it had brought Bīng Dì here without fear. It had simply grasped Bīng Dì's weakness!

  Ice Emperor Scorpion, will it really become its second Martial Soul and the first soul ring of the second Martial Soul? That... that is the second-ranked existence among the three great kings of the Extreme North!

  Second Wu Soul, not Second Soul Ring, okay? Make sure you see it clearly. The second soul ring will be talked about later...
