Previously, he had never properly confirmed the Ice Empress's cultivation level. After all, in his understanding, it was absolutely impossible for the Ice Empress to break through four hundred thousand years. Having loved and fought with the Ice Empress for so long, he was incredibly certain of this point, and it was also the source of his confidence in bringing Huo Yuhao to the Extreme North Land.
But now, the Ice Empress actually said she had broken through four hundred thousand years!?
This undoubtedly disrupted all of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's deployments.
The Ice Empress breaking through four hundred thousand years meant she had at least another hundred thousand years to live. Even if she had obtained some Heaven And Earth Treasure to increase her cultivation, she would still definitely have tens of thousands of years of life left.
This was fundamentally different from being on the verge of her limit with less than a hundred years of lifespan!
If the Ice Empress hadn't broken through the four-hundred-thousand-year cultivation barrier, the method he provided, combined with his inflammatory words, would have definitely had a high chance of persuading her.
But now...
The Ice Empress had every reason to refuse.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm carefully assessed the situation, and after confirming that the Ice Empress really had broken through four hundred thousand years, his expression instantly turned ugly, and he even lost his composure, exclaiming:
"This is impossible! How could you have broken through four hundred thousand years?"
"Nothing is impossible. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, it seems you don't understand me as much as you thought."
The Ice Empress sneered; she thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in this state.
It gave her an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, and furthermore, she really wanted to see what the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would do next.
Huo Yuhao was also somewhat dumbfounded—after hearing the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's highly inflammatory speech just now, he had even begun to look forward to his bright future.
With the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Spirit, he would no longer be a simple control system Spirit Master, but a powerful Spirit Master with dual attributes of control and power attack. Moreover, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion would bestow upon him extremely powerful Spirit Abilities. Although Yu Hao didn't know what these Spirit Abilities were, they would definitely be incredibly formidable offensive ones. Not to mention the Spirit Bone that a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast is guaranteed to produce.
One could say that as long as he obtained the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Spirit, he could soar to the heavens instantly.
But in an instant, all those fantasies were shattered.
This caused a surge of intense unwillingness to well up in Huo Yuhao's heart.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also began to think rapidly. Although his plan had been completely disrupted, he and Huo Yuhao had no way back now.
Once he released the Ice Empress, given her personality, she would definitely hunt them down with everything she had. Last time, he had luckily escaped from the Ice Empress's hands, but this time... he wouldn't have such good luck again.
In the end, the only outcome for him and Huo Yuhao would be death.
And the Ice Empress, after killing him, would use her future tens of thousands of years to continuously refine his concept, and finally, when approaching the five-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation, she would choose another lucky individual to start the God-creation plan just like him.
Based on his understanding of the Ice Empress, this was definitely a possibility.
Thinking of this, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm steeled his heart and spoke directly: "Even if you've passed the four-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation, there will always be a five-hundred-thousand-year one, and a six-hundred-thousand-year one. You can't survive every single one. When that time comes, you'll still consider my God-creation plan."
"I've already said that only with the help of my massive mental force can the God-creation plan possibly succeed. So for you, this is the best opportunity. If you don't agree, for the sake of my own eternal life and for the strength of my master, I will have no choice but to turn you into a spirit ring."
"At 그 point, you will have no wisdom left. You should know that after being trapped by me, I have too many ways to make you lose your life. Even if I have to wear you down, I can grind you to death; it'll just be a waste of a little time. Now, how you choose is up to you."
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm began to threaten her outright.
In the current situation, he had no choice but to use threats.
His plan had progressed this far; even if it wasn't succeeding... it had to succeed!
Hearing this, the Ice Empress instantly fell silent.
In the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's eyes, the Ice Empress was undergoing an intense psychological struggle and contemplation, but in reality, the Ice Empress was just thinking about what kind of nonsense the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was spouting.
Setting aside that Xue'er was watching from the side like a tiger eyeing its prey, even if it were just herself, the Ice Empress didn't believe the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could do anything to her.
And the Ice Empress's thought was, in fact, the truth.
If the Ice Empress had been trapped by Tianmeng's molted skin, his words might indeed have become reality. But now, Tianmeng's molted skin was lost, and the second-best restraint he was using simply couldn't hold the Ice Empress for a long time.
At the very least, this restraint couldn't last long enough for him to grind the Ice Empress to death.
After a long period of 'contemplation,' the Ice Empress finally spoke: "It seems I have no choice."
Seeing the Ice Empress relent, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm breathed a sigh of relief and then said with overjoyed excitement: "Bingbing, you finally want to—"
Before he could finish, the Ice Empress's cold voice rang out: "If you ever dare to call me by that mushy name again, I will definitely kill you even if I have to self-destruct. I don't believe that my self-destruction won't be able to break through your restraint!"
"Furthermore, I have a requirement. You want me to become his second spirit, but you haven't considered that his body simply cannot support my power. Your method is also fundamentally unreliable... with your million-year cultivation gained through eating and sleeping, you have no idea how terrifying my cultivation actually is."
"The only way is to let me take the lead. First, transform the Spirit Bone I can produce into your torso bone, replacing your original skeleton. Only in this way can you better accept my power. If your method only has an eighty percent chance of success, then my method will definitely raise the probability to ninety-five percent or even more."
Hearing this, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately hesitated.
Let the Ice Empress take the lead?
Letting the Ice Empress take the lead meant he would have to withdraw the restraint on her. But once the restraint was removed, what would happen next would be out of his control.
Perhaps the Ice Empress would suddenly strike and directly kill little Yu Hao...
The matter was of great importance, so the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had to give it more thought.
Seeing this, the Ice Empress let out a sneer: "Is this your so-called love? Is this your so-called 'the two of us working together to create a god'? You don't even have this much trust and courage; Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, you really haven't improved at all!"
"Since you don't trust me, I'll swear to the Ice God. With the Ice God above, I, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, swear in the name of Ice that if I harbor any murderous intent toward this human after I am freed, or if I kill this human, may everything belonging to Ice be stripped away from me by You!"
After finishing, the Ice Empress looked coldly at the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, but her heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction.
She had made an oath, but she only swore not to kill Huo Yuhao; she didn't say anything about other things...
