Electrolux's gaze passed over Di Tian and looked towards the Lake of Life below, as if sensing the activity beneath it.
"Save me!"
"Save this big brother! This big brother will definitely repay you when he gets out!"
A voice, tinged with both hope and a plea, laced with a certain rogue charm, came from under the Lake of Life.
Di Tian frowned.
So Tianmeng could still perceive the outside world.
Su Ming's gaze flickered as he also looked down.
The waters of the Lake of Life did not block his sight. He could already see the plump silkworm baby, crystalline and translucent, looking appetizing just by sight.
This was Tianmeng.
His life vitality had only been Devoured by a very small amount so far.
Su Ming did a quick calculation, a hint of surprise on his face.
At this rate, even after another seven thousand years, Tianmeng's current life vitality wouldn't be completely Devoured.
"No."
Suddenly, a thought occurred to Su Ming.
His purpose at this moment was very clear: the Auspicious Beast.
So, that was what occupied his thoughts the most.
Noticing Tianmeng now, he suddenly thought of a question.
Tianmeng had always coasted to victory. From the beginning of his cultivation until now, even when he broke through the million-year mark and his Spirit Ring truly transformed to white-gold, he had never experienced a single heavenly tribulation.
This...
To a certain extent, this already made him something like an Auspicious Beast, right?
"Then, if we want to nurture an Auspicious Beast, Tianmeng's life vitality can be used."
Su Ming nodded thoughtfully.
How was the original Auspicious Beast nurtured?
Where was Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's life vitality used?
As far as Su Ming knew, the increase in cultivation of the several great Fierce Beasts deep in the Star Dou Great Forest before and after devouring Tianmeng had not reached a million years – far from it, in fact.
Therefore, was Tianmeng's remaining life vitality provided to the Silver Dragon King?
But if it was really given to the Silver Dragon King, why was there no improvement in her injuries?
After all, it was at least half of Tianmeng's life vitality. Even if the Silver Dragon King was severely injured, after digesting it, her injuries shouldn't have been so severe that she had to reincarnate and cultivate anew, right?
And there was also the Life Gold in the Star Dou Great Forest, condensed every year. She had always been absorbing its life force to heal her wounds.
Over ten thousand years, plus Tianmeng's cultivation, she shouldn't have been in that state during the Douluo 2 era.
Therefore, it was highly likely that Tianmeng's life vitality was not Devoured by her.
Su Ming had a vague realization.
He said to Di Tian, "The ice silkworm down there – I need to use his life vitality..."
He paused mid-sentence.
No. If it was to be used, it wasn't just the life vitality. Tianmeng's luck would probably have to be used as well.
For Tianmeng to have such unique advantages, he must have gathered a vast amount of luck from the Extreme North, possibly even approaching the level of an Auspicious Beast. If not for his lowly birth bloodline, he might have been the Auspicious Beast of the Extreme North.
Therefore, if Tianmeng's power was to be used to nurture the Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, then his life vitality was actually secondary. Rather, Tianmeng's luck was the key.
But once Tianmeng's luck was used, then seven thousand five years hundred later – that is, in the future of Douluo 2 – wouldn't Tianmeng's remaining luck become connected to Huo Yuhao, and then the Auspicious Beast would indirectly connect to Huo Yuhao?
A sharp light flashed in Su Ming's gaze.
Di Tian looked at Su Ming, a questioning look gradually appeared in his eyes.
Why did he stop right after starting to speak?
Did he want to use the ice silkworm's life vitality or not?
Snapping back to reality, Su Ming's eyes still held a glint of contemplation.
"I need to use fifty percent of his life vitality."
And also his luck, Su Ming silently added to himself.
He didn't know if his guess was correct, but in this false history of him, he was prepared to nurture the Auspicious Beast along these lines.
While adjusting his plan, Su Ming telepathically communicated with Electrolux.
"Alright."
Electrolux had no objections to Su Ming's plan.
He was just carrying it out step by step.
Su Ming took a deep look at the spatial crack at the bottom of the Lake of Life. After some thought, he decided not to touch it.
As for the Silver Dragon King – he wouldn't contact her for now.
"To gather luck and nurture an Auspicious Beast, first you need to be able to suppress the luck. This ice silkworm has bad luck, but he can't suppress it himself, which is why he ended up in this situation."
"Do you have any treasure that can suppress luck?"
Electrolux thought for a moment, then took out a three-legged small cauldron emitting a hazy glow.
"This is a Spirit Furnace, a unique treasure from my homeland. Different types of Spirit Furnaces have different mysteries. The one I have is a Soul-Soothing Spirit Furnace. It has the effect of soothing the soul and has the potential for three evolutions. Each evolution will enhance its effect, possibly even adding special mysteries. The mysteries added depend on the evolution. It is said that after three evolutions, a Soul-Soothing Spirit Furnace can gain the ability to suppress luck."
As Electrolux explained, Su Ming carefully sensed the Soul-Soothing Spirit Furnace in his hand.
"This Soul-Soothing Spirit Furnace hasn't evolved yet, has it?"
Electrolux nodded.
"This is a newly born Spirit Furnace that I obtained. I was originally going to use it to suppress my spiritual power cultivation."
Suppress spiritual power?
Su Ming's heart stirred.
On the Holy Demon Continent, one million units of spiritual power would lead to becoming a god. So, at nine hundred ninety-nine thousand units of spiritual power, one had to suppress oneself.
"This Soul-Soothing Spirit Furnace hasn't evolved yet. With its three evolution opportunities, in an environment related to luck, it should be able to evolve the effect of suppressing luck," Electrolux said.
Su Ming nodded.
In the original timeline, the item used to suppress Di Rui's luck should have been the Golden Dragon Spear.
Everything would change in this timeline. Since there would be no Golden Dragon Spear, this 'Golden Dragon Spear' would become the Soul-Soothing Spirit Furnace.
"What about the catalyst you mentioned?"
Electrolux looked at Su Ming, curiosity flashing in his eyes.
In Su Ming's plan, Electrolux was the executor, with tasks that weren't very substantive.
But gathering luck and nurturing an Auspicious Beast – this was no simple task.
At least Electrolux felt that his own work couldn't accomplish this.
He wanted to know how Su Ming planned to gather luck and nurture the Auspicious Beast.
Su Ming smiled.
He took a deep breath, using his spiritual power to attract the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy.
He communicated with the plane.
His status was still there. Therefore, he mobilized the power of the plane.
A flash of surprise passed through Electrolux's eyes.
He hadn't expected Su Ming, a mere spiritual body, to be able to mobilize the power of an entire plane.
Then, from Su Ming's spiritual body, an illusory Spirit Ring appeared and shattered.
Subsequently, the plane's power was rapidly consumed, and then Spirit Power was born.
The moment this Spirit Power appeared, Spirit Rings emerged around Su Ming.
Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Rose Gold, Black-Gold, Starry Sky.
Eight Spirit Rings arranged in sequence.
Among them, the rose-gold sixth Spirit Ring was exceptionally bright.
The image of Di Rui floated in mid-air.
A look of surprise appeared on Electrolux's face.
This was...
An Auspicious Beast?
Even without seeing its true body, Electrolux could feel the faint fluctuations of fate.
This guy actually had the template for an Auspicious Beast.
No wonder he was confident in nurturing one.
Su Ming summoned the phantom of Di Rui, activated his rose-gold sixth Spirit Ring, and simultaneously activated his eighth Spirit Skill.
"Eighth Spirit Skill, Turning Illusion into Reality."
