Clearing its throat, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm paced back and forth theatrically, then declared:
"Tianxi's talent is extremely high! Unmatched among humans! His first Martial Soul is a Super Martial Soul, a Body Martial Soul, possessing not only powerful spiritual attributes but also characteristics of a Star constellation Martial Soul, capable of absorbing moonlight to cultivate spiritual power!"
Ice Emperor's massive, constantly swaying front pincers paused, and it said with a hint of pride, "Body Martial Soul, Star constellation power? Not bad, worthy of this Emperor's power."
"His Body Martial Soul has already undergone a second awakening, its quality greatly improved, not inferior to an Ultimate Attribute Martial Soul."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm dropped a bombshell, then added, "Moreover, he is a Twin Martial Soul master, and his second Martial Soul is of even higher quality, surpassing even your Ice Jade Scorpion Clan!"
"Impossible! Our Ice Jade Scorpion Clan possesses the Ultimate Ice attribute and immense power. What Martial Soul could be stronger than us?"
Ice Emperor bristled instantly, thinking Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was spouting nonsense without a second thought.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled, "Your Ice Jade Scorpion Clan has Ultimate Ice, so why can't he possess Ultimate Water? Both are Ultimate Attributes; who's afraid of whom?"
"What did you say? Ultimate Water?" Ice Emperor's emerald scorpion tail flashed brightly, causing ripples in the air.
"That's not all; his second Martial Soul originates from a Divine Beast bloodline, the Black Tortoise."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm grinned mischievously, saying, "Originally, I wanted you to be his second Martial Soul, but who knew he already had the Ultimate Water Black Tortoise Martial Soul? Your Ice Jade Scorpion Clan's noble bloodline can't compare to the Black Tortoise, can it?"
Ice Emperor revealed a human-like expression of surprise, skeptically probing with a portion of its spiritual perception.
Soon, it sensed a powerful bloodline from Xu Tianxi, no less potent than its own, radiating an archaic, untamed aura of majesty.
Attempting to probe further, it sensed a faint yet terrifying aura of protection, profound, ancient, and seemingly originating from a beast king even more fearsome than itself!
Hastily withdrawing its spiritual power, Ice Emperor stared in astonishment at Xu Tianxi, whose body was emitting a dazzling azure light, and questioned Tianmeng Ice Silkworm:
"How does he possess a protective artifact left by a powerhouse of Snow Empress's caliber?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm acted as if it had just remembered Xu Tianxi's extraordinary background, casually saying, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, his backing is very strong, possibly beyond the reach of even your Far North Three Great Heavenly Kings."
"How is that possible? How strong is his backing?"
"Extremely strong! His grandmaster recently fought with the detestable Beast God Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest and emerged unscathed! One of the top three Limit Douluo among human Soul Masters!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm responded decisively, then chuckled mischievously, saying:
"Also, you've heard of the Deep Sea Overlord Heavenly Tyrant Ancestor, right? With over eight hundred thousand years of cultivation? That's his great-grandmaster. Their lineage's ancestor was a hundred-thousand-year Black Tortoise that transformed into a human, and they still maintain close ties with sea Soul Beasts."
"Hehe, his grand-uncle is a Level 97 Super Douluo. With just these three, even the Far North Three Great Heavenly Kings combined might not be a match, right? Snow Empress hasn't even passed her seventh Heavenly Tribulation yet—."
Although it was exaggerating and flaunting borrowed power, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't help but proudly puff out its chest.
Xu Tianxi was its host; indirectly, Xu Tianxi's backers were its backers.
It had to be said, the feeling of returning to the Far North with a human prodigy was truly amazing! I, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, will also have a day of triumphant return!
Soon, the proud Ice Emperor made a pragmatic choice in the face of the temptation of immortality: "Alright, I'll join your god-making plan!"
"That's great—."
"But this old lady only acknowledges this human, not you, a sleepy worm!"
"It's fine, it's fine; there will always be time to get along in the future—."
"—·I can't be bothered with you; wake him up. I don't think he wants to hear you say all this." If Ice Emperor had a human form, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would definitely see her rolling her eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'll go call him over."
However, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't care about Ice Emperor's disdain and very cooperatively dived into Xu Tianxi's mind, summoning him from his conversation with Electrolux.
Xu Tianxi patted his legs and returned to consciousness, beginning the face-to-face meeting stage with Ice Emperor.
Ice Emperor's spiritual body separated, revealing a human form: a green-haired loli with twin ponytails, adorned with scorpion-claw-like hair ornaments and a crown on her head.
Her orange-red eyes held a scrutinizing gaze as she slowly said:
"Hmm, I've heard about your situation from Tianmeng. Among humans, you are a top talent. According to Tianmeng, if the two of us work together, it is indeed possible to create a god."
"However, those are all Tianmeng's flattering words. I don't know you well yet. Now, I want to hear how you will convince me to go crazy with you?"
Clearly, Xu Tianxi's potential and background had gained Ice Emperor's approval. Otherwise, with her personality, she would never ask an ordinary human for their opinion on such a major matter, because it was unnecessary.
Faced with the terrifyingly high-potential Xu Tianxi, she was willing to take a gamble with Tianmeng more readily, but she also hoped to understand her future host better.
Whether her future would be a life of leisure or constant anxiety depended entirely on whether Xu Tianxi could make her worry-free.
Xu Tianxi pondered briefly, revealing a smile that he considered approachable, and looked directly into Ice Emperor's sharp eyes, saying:
"Then let me introduce myself first. I am Xu Tianxi, a human who aspires to break through and become a god."
"I can tell you that I have a desire and pursuit for ascension to godhood that you cannot yet comprehend. You don't have to worry that I am a useless person who relies on the resources of my elders to coast through life without any ambition."
"This can be seen from my current Soul Power of level forty-five. It has been nearly seven years since I awakened my Martial Soul, and in these seven years, I have never been slack."
Xu Tianxi's voice was calm and magnetic, containing unwavering confidence and strength.
I can confidently say that if my cultivation speed hadn't been hindered by the Ultimate Attribute after entering level thirty, I might already be attempting to break through to the Soul King realm; at my age, I would have been able to create the record for the youngest Soul King on the continent.
Even now, I am confident that I can break through to the Soul King realm within a year because my spiritual power recently reached the tangible-intangible realm, and my cultivation speed is no longer hindered by Ultimate Water.
Xu Tianxi paused, then smiled, saying, "However, this normal cultivation speed will probably leave me again with your joining. Ultimate Ice is strong, but the burden is also great."
"To be honest, if Tianmeng-ge hadn't told you that you might bring me the power of a forty-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, I probably wouldn't have wanted to come here. That feeling of cultivating while wearing it is really not pleasant. Ultimate Ice isn't a necessity in my opinion. I want to break the record for the youngest Titled Douluo in human history."
"Of course, not wanting to come doesn't mean I won't come. To respect Tianmeng-ge, I'll definitely make this trip."
The Ice Emperor chuckled. "You're honest."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was a little touched at this moment, sure enough, Tianxi still has me in his heart.
"Besides my talent in cultivation, my strength in certification is also beyond doubt."
"Certification? What do you mean?" The Ice Emperor asked, puzzled.
Xu Tianxi's eyes flickered slightly as he replied:
"In our human world, the strong are roughly divided into two categories: Soul Masters and Soul Engineers. Although there are no Soul Engineers who have become gods yet, there are already strong people who can compete with top Soul Master experts."
"The Soul Engineer levels are divided into nine levels, corresponding to the nine levels of Soul Masters from low to high. The system is very well-developed."
"I can tell you that I am the most talented Soul Engineer in the most powerful country in the human world, and even on this continent, in nearly a thousand years. Almost a year ago, when I was still a Soul Elder, I had already obtained a Fifth Level Soul Engineer certificate."
"In other words, almost a year ago, I could fight against Soul King experts and even win, without using my Martial Soul, relying on my Soul Engineer abilities."
The Ice Emperor's pupils contracted noticeably. A Soul Elder fighting a Soul King wasn't too bizarre for Xu Tianxi's Martial Soul configuration, but if he could do it without using his Martial Soul, then it was a bit terrifying.
"In this past year, I naturally haven't stood still. I already have the ability of a Level 6 Soul Engineer, but I wanted to keep a low profile, so I didn't go for certification."
"I can proudly say that I have reached this point not only because of my teacher's teachings, but also because of my own hard work. I didn't get any help from Tianmeng-ge in my learning process. I relied only on my mental power and Martial Soul characteristics."
"Because before I met Tianmeng-ge, I was already a Fifth Level Soul Engineer. All of this was done in just over a year. Everyone in the Sun Moon Empire knows it."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was a little embarrassed, thinking that Tianxi didn't need to be so honest, it sounded like after I came, you didn't make any progress in your Soul Engineer level.
The Ice Emperor gave Tianmeng Ice Silkworm a disgusted look, the meaning was self-evident:
You big bug seems to be so useless? People rushed to Level 5 in one year before they met you, and only rushed to Level 1 in one year after meeting you, and haven't even been certified.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and secretly thought that he must let Tianxi go and get the Level 6 certificate, and take off this useless hat.
"Revealing such talent, I naturally received the highest attention from the Sun Moon Empire. Needless to say, all kinds of resources were tilted towards me. In fact, every time I leave the academy, there will be Level 9 Soul Engineer-level experts to protect my safety."
Hearing this, the Ice Emperor roughly understood Xu Tianxi's status in the human world. The empire's crown prince might not be as important as him.
"Coming here today is to add bricks and tiles to the path of eternal life. This is our first meeting, but I ask you to believe in my belief and will to reach the highest realm. I will not disappoint someone who bets everything."
"Just like I didn't want to disappoint Tianmeng-ge and came to find you alone. If I wanted to be safer, I could ask my grandmaster to take action, but Tianmeng-ge wants some privacy, so I naturally want to respect him, and also respect you, a companion who may pursue the path of eternal life with us."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was moved to tears, and said in his heart that Tianxi was really a conscientious person, and was too good at speaking up for me.
"I know that you may have a hundred years of life left to welcome the final tribulation. I am still extremely young, and cultivating to become a Limit Douluo is beyond doubt. Even if I can't take you to become a god, the scenery you can see will never be only a short hundred years."
When Xu Tianxi said this, the Ice Emperor had no more doubts.
"Okay! I'll bet everything with you and fight! Let's pursue the legendary Path to Godhood together!"
"Your physical fitness is far stronger than ordinary Soul Masters, but in order to maximize the benefits, I suggest you get the Soul Bone first and then the Soul Ring, so that your physical condition can reach its best, and you can better withstand my source power; I can also spend less effort to seal my source."
"Okay!" Xu Tianxi nodded happily. Of course, he knew that he could not bear the Ice Emperor's huge source at the moment. The Ice Emperor's energy was too huge and domineering, and most of it must be sealed.
"Okay, I can decide the shape of the Soul Bone. You should…it will be difficult to encounter someone like me in the future to provide you with a Soul Bone, so I will provide you with the most important torso bone, how about it?"
Considering Xu Tianxi's background was too amazing, the Ice Emperor didn't say too much.
Xu Tianxi thought for a while and shook his head, "I may go to the ocean to fight in the future, the position of the torso bone can be temporarily reserved, do you have any other recommendations?"
In the ocean, there won't be too many existences with more than 400,000 years of cultivation, but there won't be few.
"Then - I will provide you with a scorpion tail bone that is homologous to my body, in the form of an external Soul Bone, is there no problem?" The Ice Emperor looked at its body and chose the strongest part, the tail.
The front claws are not weak either, but that kind of image doesn't seem very good; when summoned, Xu Tianxi's hands would be gone.
"Couldn't be better."
Xu Tianxi nodded, overlapped his palms, sacrificed a dark golden light ball, the Dark Gold Black Tortoise Shield was in his hand, and his aura changed drastically, like a general on the battlefield with golden horses, as immovable as a mountain.
The Ice Emperor looked at the Dark Gold Black Tortoise Shield for a while, and a smile appeared on its face:
"Your Martial Soul is really strong, maybe I can bring some special changes to it—"
"Oh? Then please."
Outside the Far North, the majestic power of the fierce beast suddenly erupted, and a bright red light appeared in the ice and snow.
