Tianmeng Ice Silkworm vividly recounted his legendary life story, adding countless embellishments in between. Oscar simply listened quietly, without interrupting once.
After hearing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's tale, the Ice Emperor and the others also came to understand the carefree life he had lived.
Yet this useless big worm had somehow become Oscar's spirit? And not just any spirit,it was his first one.
Seeing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's smug expression, Oscar couldn't help but explain, revealing just how powerful the silkworm truly was.
As the first million-year soul beast on the continent, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had indeed brought Oscar immense benefits.
To let them clearly feel the improvement Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had brought him, Oscar released his first martial soul.
His Supreme Sausage still looked orange-yellow, not much different in appearance from an ordinary sausage. But the moment it appeared, it emitted an almost lethal attraction to the Three Great Kings.
Oscar's Supreme Sausage martial soul had evolved along with his cultivation and could now be considered a heavenly treasure on par with immortal herbs.
Just as soul masters could absorb spirit rings and bones to enhance their strength, soul beasts could grow stronger by devouring humans. If they were to devour Oscar now, it would be like eating an immortal herb.
Feeling the extraordinary nature of Oscar's martial soul, the Three Great Kings couldn't help but lick their lips. It was a temptation difficult to suppress.
However, in the next instant, they were utterly stunned, for eight strange spirit rings rose around Oscar's body.
Black, black, black, black, black, red, red, platinum.
They had seen many spirit rings before, but the configuration surrounding Oscar was utterly shocking.
Five black ten-thousand-year rings, two hundred-thousand-year red rings, and one they had never even heard of,a platinum-colored ring.
Could a human possibly have such a configuration? Even as soul beasts, they were well aware of the soul master cultivation system.
At that moment, the Three Great Kings looked at Oscar as though they were staring at a monster.
The Ice Emperor murmured blankly, "How is this possible? How could a soul master's first spirit ring already reach the ten-thousand-year level?"
The Snow Emperor's sharp eyes flickered. "All five of his ten-thousand-year rings are close to a hundred-thousand years. This is the enhancement the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gave you?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled proudly. "Well? Do you see how amazing I am now?"
The Titan Snow Demon King nodded. The ability to raise a soul master's spirit ring age alone proved how extraordinary the silkworm was.
The Ice Emperor glanced at the platinum-colored million-year ring and then at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. "So this platinum ring was given by you? I didn't know spirit rings produced by million-year soul beasts were this color."
Seeing her expression, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm became even more self-satisfied. "Not only is the color more noble, but my ring also gives Oscar four spirit skills."
Both the Snow Emperor and Titan Snow Demon King were shocked. Even as powerful beasts themselves, their rings combined with their bones only provided four abilities in total.
Yet a single ring from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm granted four skills? What about the accompanying soul bone? Was this the terror of a million-year cultivation?
Everyone knew how valuable a hundred-thousand-year ring and bone were to a soul master. Absorbing one was like consuming an immortal herb.
Then what about a million-year ring and bone? How powerful would Oscar become now? His talent was likely unmatched across the entire continent.
After all, Oscar was only eighteen years old,an eighteen-year-old Soul Douluo with eight rings, and such a terrifying configuration at that.
Even the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North, soul beasts themselves, could scarcely imagine Oscar's strength.
And even before Oscar had released his martial soul or spirit rings, his soul power alone already felt comparable to that of a Titled Douluo. That showed just how high the quality of his spirit power was.
After retracting his spirit rings, Oscar smiled at the Three Great Kings. They now had no further doubts. With such talent and fortune, he would surely one day reach level one hundred.
At his current rate of progress, they all felt Oscar might reach that level in less than ten years.
Thinking of this, the Three Great Kings no longer hesitated. With the soul spirit method and such a genius before them, they had no reason to refuse.
Aside from the Titan Snow Demon King, both the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor had less than ten thousand years left in their lifespan.
And Oscar was perhaps the one most likely to succeed within that time, so they held no reservations.
The Snow Emperor said directly, "Oscar, I acknowledge your strength and talent. I am willing to join you in realizing the God-making Plan."
The Ice Emperor nodded. "I agree as well. I only have a thirty percent chance of surviving my next tribulation. Rather than risk that, I'll bet everything on you."
"But I have one condition. Once I enter your spiritual sea, I don't want to be with that big worm. I want to stay with Snow Girl."
Before Oscar could speak, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm howled, "Bingbing, what are you saying? I truly love you! This is a love that transcends species,how can you reject it?"
Oscar only smiled faintly. "That's fine, that's fine."
The Titan Snow Demon King hesitated, exchanging glances with the two Emperors. "If you've both decided, then I cannot become a soul spirit for now. The Extreme North still needs someone to preside over it. If all three of us disappear, chaos will follow."
"Unless the soul spirit method stabilizes and someone else can take charge, I must remain."
The two Emperors nodded in agreement. If all three vanished, the Extreme North would indeed fall into disorder.
Besides, the Titan Snow Demon King had just broken through two hundred thousand years and had a long life ahead. With its natural talent, it had a seventy percent chance of surviving the three-hundred-thousand-year tribulation.
So staying behind to maintain order was the best outcome,in case Oscar failed.
Of course, that was the result they least wished to see.
If Oscar's God-making Plan succeeded, then as one of the original contributors, the Titan Snow Demon King could later find a worthy successor to continue the process.
Thus, Oscar and the Three Great Kings finalized their plan, with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm occasionally offering advice.
The Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor were not ones for unnecessary words. Once they decided to work with Oscar, they began the detailed process within the ice cavern.
The Titan Snow Demon King stood guard outside,no outsider would dare interrupt.
During this time, Xiaobai returned, though Aorong was absent, as she had gone to Morri City. Her main body had already arrived there and would remain for a while.
Her clone naturally needed to deliver the Extreme Cold Ice Essence and the forty-thousand-year Ice Bear soul bone back to strengthen the Sword Sect elders.
Xiaobai also knew about the God-making Plan and was reluctant to part with the Snow Emperor. She even considered joining the plan herself so that she could always be with her mother.
But the Snow Emperor refused to let Xiaobai become Oscar's soul spirit just yet. She wanted to experience the process herself first, and if everything went smoothly, she would ask Oscar to reserve a ring position for Xiaobai later.
After all, according to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Oscar would become the first person on the continent to possess three martial souls.
When that time came, there would be plenty of spirit ring slots left for Xiaobai.
In the ice cavern, only Oscar, the Snow Emperor, and the Ice Emperor remained, while Tianmeng Ice Silkworm lingered nearby in his spirit form.
The Ice Emperor said, "Since Tianmeng has already granted you the prototype of your third martial soul with the ice attribute, I will now fuse with you, becoming your third martial soul and first spirit ring."
"But you said that aside from your external spirit bone, you only have one head bone. Have you decided which type of bone you want next?"
Oscar had already planned this out. "The right arm bone. I already have something suitable for the torso."
The Ice Emperor nodded without further words. Oscar was not Huo Yuhao,his current physical strength was more than enough to bear her four-hundred-thousand-year ring, especially with the addition of a soul bone of the same level.
Before the fusion, she consumed one of Oscar's Beyond Limit Black Gold Sausages, which could squeeze out hidden potential. Since she had chosen to merge with Oscar, this was the perfect time to take it.
That would allow her to break through once more,hence why Oscar called it a four-hundred-thousand-year ring.
The Ice Emperor's cultivation was only at three hundred ninety thousand years, but with her talent, consuming the sausage would guarantee a breakthrough to four hundred thousand.
Though it wouldn't extend her lifespan, her power would rise dramatically.
The gap between three hundred ninety and four hundred thousand years, though only ten thousand, was immense.
The Snow Emperor also ate a Beyond Limit Black Gold Sausage. With her six hundred ninety thousand years of cultivation, she would inevitably break through to seven hundred thousand.
After both of them broke their limits, Oscar's third martial soul would bear a forty-thousand-year and a seventy-thousand-year ring.
With the special properties of soul spirits, the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor could bestow multiple rings upon Oscar's third martial soul,five or six, at least.
After consuming the sausages, the two Emperors began refining their breakthroughs, completing the process within a single day.
Once they had stabilized their new realms, the Ice Emperor began merging with Oscar.
With Tianmeng Ice Silkworm assisting, the Ice Emperor's four-hundred-thousand-year energy surged toward Oscar as he released the prototype of his third martial soul.
The power of Ultimate Ice began to manifest. As they fused, Oscar's aura grew increasingly solid. The Ice Emperor's body pressed against his, and the third martial soul began to take shape upon his back.
As the martial soul formed, Oscar endured the pressure of the Ice Emperor's immense energy. But with his current physique, he felt only a faint strain, easily bearable.
Using the Ice Emperor's power and the essence of Ultimate Ice, Oscar's body was once again purified, filling him with indescribable comfort.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm used his vast spiritual power to aid the fusion, while the Snow Emperor watched the transformation unfold.
The process went smoothly, without any mishaps. Soon, a magnificent phantom of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion appeared behind Oscar.
The phantom was about one and a half meters long, its icy blue and jade green hues interwoven beautifully.
Its front body had four layered segments, each slightly more than half a foot long, with a silver-white mouthpart glinting with cold light.
Its upper body was covered in hexagonal crystalline protrusions, each one dazzling like a diamond.
These crystal-like scales covered its front half and six powerful legs, reflecting countless rays of light in the cavern as if it were a radiant source itself.
Each of its front pincers was about a meter long, covered in the same crystalline texture, except for the tips and mouthparts, which gleamed silver-white like mirrors.
If its upper body was already dazzling, its long, arched tail was the true core of brilliance.
Unlike ordinary scorpions, its tail had only five segments, each glowing with a vibrant emerald hue filled with life. The first segment was the widest, narrowing toward the end, where a diamond-crusted stinger curved upward, its silver-white tip shining like polished metal.
This was the Ice Emperor's true form,and now, Oscar's third martial soul: the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.
The moment the martial soul took shape, the terrifying aura of Ultimate Ice spread out, and a blood-red hundred-thousand-year spirit ring circled Oscar's body.
As the martial soul solidified, Oscar successfully absorbed this first ten-thousand-year ring,his first for the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.
But the process was far from over. Under Oscar's control, the remaining energy of the Ice Emperor began to flow again. Though much had been consumed in forming the martial soul, enough remained to create two more hundred-thousand-year rings.
Following the first crimson ring, a second ring quickly took shape, darkening from white to black within moments.
Within just a quarter of an hour, the second hundred-thousand-year ring stabilized.
Then came the third, forming in nearly the same manner. After another quarter-hour, three hundred-thousand-year spirit rings revolved around Oscar's body.
A small, delicate girl now sat atop Oscar's shoulder, her eyes shining with joy.
The Snow Emperor looked at the three crimson rings and then at the Ice Emperor, now fully transformed into a soul spirit. A flicker of light passed through her beautiful eyes.
