Chapter 196 Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm on the List?
Gu Yuena: If Wei Yuan wants to devour me, he will reappear as the Dragon God.
[Douluo Continent, the seventh of the ten peak soul beasts, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Ice Silkworm, (990,000 years)]
[Sun Moon Empire, the seventh of the ten peak soul beasts, Soul Devouring Spider (230,000 years)]
As the sky screen revealed the list of the fourth round of the comparison between the ten peak soul beasts of the four continents.
Douluo Continent, deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, beside the Lake of Life.
The ferocious beasts looked at the four golden characters "Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm" on the sky screen.
They stared at each other, as if they had seen the most absurd joke in the world, and were completely dumbfounded.
"Roar—! How is this possible?!"
Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear King suddenly stood up from the ground, his huge body bringing a gust of bloody wind, his ferocious bear eyes were full of disbelief and humiliation.
Xiong Jun pointed at the sky, roaring in a gruff voice, "Tianmeng Ice Silkworm? That useless meat worm that we've kept locked up as food for so many years, all it does is sleep?!"
"This kind of weakling who can't do anything but run away and sleep is actually on the list? And ranked seventh? Above me?!"
Xiong Jun's chest heaved violently with anger, his huge bear paws slamming into the ground with a thunderous roar:
"What a joke! He's just a slightly higher-level tonic! In terms of combat power, I could kill a whole bunch of them with one slap! Is the sky blind?!"
The other ferocious beasts, such as the Crimson King and Zi Ji, also had extremely strange expressions.
In their eyes, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was just a mobile soul power charger, their domesticated livestock.
Now that their livestock had actually made it onto a list that countless powerful beings looked up to, the contrast was too strong.
Just then, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who had been quietly standing by the lake, slowly opened her purple eyes.
Compared to the agitation of the ferocious beasts, she appeared remarkably calm. Her clear, cold voice, like the tinkling of a spring, instantly suppressed the surrounding noise:
"Calm down."
Gu Yuena glanced calmly at the sky and rationally analyzed:
"Since this sky is named 'Peak Soul Beast Comparison,' the age and cultivation level of the soul beasts must be a very important reference weight."
"Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has low combat power, it does possess a terrifying cultivation of 990,000 years. This number is extremely rare even in the entire history of Douluo Star. Based on this nearly million-year accumulation alone, its seventh-place ranking is within my expectations."
Hearing his master speak, Xiong Jun, though still unconvinced, could only huff and puff as he sat back down.
He was still muttering things like "that's just a piece of trash."
However, just as the atmosphere eased slightly, a sinister voice suddenly rang out from the corner.
"Master... if it's just losing face by being on the list, that's fine."
It was the Demon King who spoke.
The Demon King's old, bark-like face was etched with solemnity and worry.
He suddenly spoke:
"Don't forget, everyone, the rules of this Heavenly Canopy's competition are ever-changing."
"Could this competition be like the one I just experienced, where the competition scenario isn't a battle at all, but some other special assessment?"
The Demon King's words made the hearts of the ferocious beasts present skip a beat.
He paused, his tone becoming even more sinister and terrifying:
"That Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, although not good at fighting, possesses a vast and boundless spiritual power, and its vitality is terrifyingly tenacious. If it's a competition of spiritual power, survival ability, or something else, its chances of winning are extremely high!"
"More importantly..."
The Demon King looked up at the tempting reward announcement on the Heavenly Canopy, his voice trembling slightly:
"What if... I mean, what if, this fleshy worm really wins? And like the Blue Silver Emperor before, it receives the Heavenly Canopy's reward and directly becomes a god..."
"We've imprisoned him for so many years, draining his soul power day and night, using him as food and nourishment..."
"Once he becomes a god, possessing power surpassing ours, the first thing he'll probably do is return to take revenge and raze the entire Star Dou Great Forest to the ground!"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Jun, who had been mocking Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, instantly turned deathly pale.
A deathly silence fell over the entire area around the Lake of Life.
"Enough!"
Di Tian slowly emerged from the shadows.
With a glare of his golden eyes, Di Tian surveyed the terrified faces of the ferocious beasts, and sneered:
"You've all lived for hundreds of thousands of years, how come you're getting worse with age? Scared out of your wits by a mere worm we can usually manipulate? What kind of behavior is this!"
Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his tone filled with undeniable confidence:
"What the Demon King said is merely the worst and most extreme hypothetical scenario. That giant worm, besides having slightly stronger spiritual power, what other abilities does it possess? Even with the special rules, its chances of standing out among the peak soul beasts are extremely slim!"
At this point, Di Tian turned slightly, bowing deeply towards Gu Yuena, his expression respectful and fervent:
"Even if that worm really did get incredibly lucky and become a god, so what?"
"He's nothing but a false god forcibly elevated to godhood by external forces, his foundation is weak. Our lord, however, is half a dragon god, the Silver Dragon King who wields the elemental laws! Even without a full recovery, his strength and status far surpass that of a mere clown who has just become a god!"
"With our lord here, a mere Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm can't cause any trouble!"
Di Tian's words were like a shot of adrenaline, gradually calming the previously panicked beasts.
Yes, they still had their lord, the supreme Silver Dragon King!
Gu Yuena listened quietly to Di Tian's reassurance, her purple eyes calm and unmoved by the flattery.
Compared to the worries of her subordinates, the fleeting glimpse of Wei Yuan and the Golden Dragon King he had refined into an avatar were the true source of her unease and anxiety.
"The Golden Dragon King... that's the other half of the Dragon God's body, representing ultimate power and destruction. It's actually... been refined into an avatar?"
Gu Yuena pondered silently, an unprecedented sense of crisis gripping her.
The Golden Dragon King or the Silver Dragon King, by devouring the other, could resurrect the Dragon God.
It seemed she was no match for Wei Yuan.
And Wei Yuan might be about to attack her!
Although Gu Yuena also desperately hoped for the Dragon God's reappearance, leading the dragon race back to glory, the price—her own disappearance—was something she couldn't accept!
If this celestial comparison didn't reach her, preventing her from gaining more information about that world and about Wei Yuan, she would find it difficult to concentrate.
However, for now, she needed to stabilize morale.
