Huo Yuhao and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suffered in silence for a while, until snowflakes began to drift down from the sky again, Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his head.
In that instant, he seemed to have matured greatly.
"Brother Tianmeng, is the Frost Velvet Ice Mite Spirit truly a useless, trash Spirit?"
Hearing this, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao, who was still kneeling on the ground.
He could discern an unprecedented determination in Huo Yuhao's words, but the Frost Velvet Ice Mite Spirit...
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm remained silent, yet it felt as if it had said everything.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Although there isn't much worth keeping in Shrek Academy—besides Teacher Zhou Yi, Sister Xiao Ya, and Senior Brother—I don't have much positive feeling for Shrek Academy either. But I believe one thing the Grandmaster, who established Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago, said is absolutely correct."
"The Grandmaster once said that there are no useless Spirits, only useless Spirit Masters. Even... even if my Spirit is just the most useless Frost Velvet Ice Mite, I will absolutely defy fate and become a powerful Spirit Master!"
No useless Spirits, only useless Spirit Masters?
Although Huo Yuhao had heard this phrase when he first entered Shrek Academy, hearing it from Huo Yuhao's mouth now made the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm instantly feel a different kind of emotion.
Before Huo Yuhao had even awakened, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had already preemptively assumed that Huo Yuhao was ruined... useless. And as the wisdom spirit ring fused with Huo Yuhao, the possibility of achieving godhood and attaining eternal life through a deified Huo Yuhao was completely gone.
But Huo Yuhao's fighting Spirit ignited it; the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's heart once again brimmed with new vitality.
"That's right! Even if your second spirit is merely the Frost Velvet Ice Mite, you still have me—an unprecedented Million-Year Spirit Beast, an unprecedented wisdom spirit ring! If you and I work together, we might just create a miracle!"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm took a deep breath, its tone becoming much more serious: "Although the final result of this trip to the Extreme North Land was not entirely pleasant, you still gained some benefits. At the very least, the Spirit Bone from the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade Scorpion successfully improved your Physique and greatly enhanced your physical quality."
"Moreover, when the Snow Empress presented this Frost Velvet Ice Mite, I could clearly sense that it barely had a hundred years of cultivation. Yet, the first spirit ring for your second spirit is a Thousand-Year spirit ring. This is because when the Snow Empress placed the Frost Velvet Ice Mite into your body, she also injected a stream of pure energy into your body, helping the Frost Velvet Ice Mite complete its Sacrifice, which is how it fused to become your second spirit."
"When fusing the Frost Velvet Ice Mite, that pure energy from the Snow Empress also remained within your body. The Snow Empress probably never imagined that this stream of energy is actually our greatest capital for a comeback!"
As it spoke, a hint of madness flashed in the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's eyes: "If we only refine this energy, it might only raise your spirit power by a few levels. But if supplemented with other Heaven And Earth Treasure, this energy can definitely achieve much more!"
Heaven And Earth Treasure?
A trace of confusion flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, but a sense of longing and yearning uncontrollably rose in his heart.
"Yu Hao, you should know how I achieved my cultivation."
Prompted by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao quickly recalled what Heaven And Earth Treasure referred to.
Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow!
"Exactly! It is the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow! As long as we can find the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, just like how I did before, by absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow and pairing it with the Snow Empress's pure energy, you will definitely reap greater benefits! It might even be possible to evolve your Frost Velvet Ice Mite Spirit!"
"So... next, we will not only stay in the Extreme North Land, but we will live here long-term! As long as we can find other Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow ice caves in the Extreme North Land, you can defy fate again!"
"As for now... let's first attach a spirit ring to your Spiritual Eye Spirit."

God Realm.
Tang San still stood above the clouds, quietly sensing the flow of the God Realm, but an increasingly ugly expression gradually appeared on his face, and a strong sense of unease faintly arose in his heart.
He couldn't help but cast his gaze toward the Lower Realm—just like before, the Douluo Star was still shrouded in mist, and he couldn't perceive anything.
The only thing he could confirm was that the Luck of the child of destiny had not diminished much... probably.
Less than an hour had passed since he last tried to see the situation in the Lower Realm.
But one day in the God Realm was one year in the Lower Realm. In less than an hour, nearly a month had passed in the Lower Realm. A month was enough time for many things to happen.
Perhaps this was the reason why he kept having this vague sense of unease?
Tang San, oh Tang San, when did you become so impatient?
Tang San sighed helplessly, his eyes suddenly focused.
He saw his former good brother, the leader of the original Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai, who had inherited the Dual God Position of the God of War, rushing over urgently, with a look of obvious anxiety on his face.
Seeing this, Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly.
After the Shrek Seven Devils all arrived in the God Realm, their communication became much less frequent. To be precise, the time they gathered together became much shorter, and their private communications were not as frequent as imagined.
The last time he saw Dai Mubai was when Xiao Qi had just turned three years old.
"Mubai, what's wrong? What happened?"
Tang San subconsciously used that title, causing Dai Mubai to frown slightly, but Tang San now held a pivotal position in the God Realm and possessed the dual God Positions of the Sea God and Asura God, so Dai Mubai ignored the casual address and his expression turned serious: "There's been a change in a God Position."
Hearing this, Tang San's pupils contracted slightly.
It was quite common for a Divinity in the God Realm to want to wander elsewhere and hand over their God Position to someone else. But for Mubai to actively seek him out, it couldn't possibly be an ordinary change in a God Position.
Moreover... as a member of the God Realm Committee, he hadn't heard recently of any God wanting to pass on their God Position.
"It's the Ice God."
The Ice God?
Tang San immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It was just an Ice God; it wasn't worth his attention. Instead of wasting time on such matters, he should focus on what exactly happened to the child of destiny.
But the next few words from Dai Mubai made Tang San's expression drastically change.
"And the Angel God."
"What!? The Angel God Position?"
Tang San's voice involuntarily rose significantly, and a hint of blame crept into his tone: "Such important news, Mubai, and you were holding out on me! Didn't the Angel God Position already..."
This matter was indeed a big deal.
It seemed the matter of the child of destiny would have to be put aside for now...
