Of course, due to overfeeding, the Seed of Emotion was already in a saturated state regarding positive emotions. If things continued this way, it might cause the Seed of Emotion to deviate from its original path.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao already had a solution; he just needed to wait for Elder Yi to be in position to discuss its feasibility.
Beyond that, because he had overfed Gu Yuena during this past month, the threshold for her to generate positive emotions had significantly increased.
To put it simply, she had gotten used to it.
The Gluttonous Dragon King had gone from staring longingly at food stalls to now naturally shouting at Huo Yuhao to buy, buy, buy. Her mindset had clearly shifted.
Now, the only thing that could still generate final bursts of joy, happiness, and other positive emotions in her was his roasted fish.
Back to the main point.
As soon as Gu Yuena heard Huo Yuhao's answer, she stepped forward and grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm.
Space rippled once more with a flash of silver-white light. In the next instant, the two appeared in the outer region of the Star Constellation Great Forest.
Gu Yuena released her grip on Huo Yuhao and said, "You now owe me ten roasted fish."
"..." Huo Yuhao really wanted to complain, but ultimately nodded.
Reaching out, Huo Yuhao retrieved a roasted fish sealed with soul power from his storage ring.
"A down payment."
Gu Yuena's eyes lit up, and she reached out to take it directly from Huo Yuhao's hand.
To Gu Yuena, the human world was interesting, but only to a point. There was a sense of novelty, but it faded quickly.
Only the impact of various foods on her taste buds could repeatedly pique her interest.
In particular, Huo Yuhao's roasted fish made her unable to stop.
Gu Yuena took small bites of the roasted fish, her amethyst eyes deepening slightly.
Mhm... decided. Even if this human ends up being useless, I'll kidnap him back to the Lake of Life to make fish for me...
Gu Yuena blinked, spatial ripples appeared again, and her figure slowly vanished.
This was at Huo Yuhao's request. He understood Brother Skydream's personality—cowardly. If Brother Skydream saw Gu Yuena, he might get so scared that he'd dig a very, very deep hole and hide his entire worm self inside.
"Ha..." A smile appeared on the corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth. His deep blue eyes changed slightly, with brilliant golden light flowing deep within them. His mental power aura was clearly evident yet appeared "immature," exactly like a mental-type soul master who had just reached Level 10 and could not yet fully control their mental power.
In this manner, Huo Yuhao activated his martial soul and began wandering the vicinity.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was midnight. In his previous life, he had possessed Spiritual Detection. In this life, although he hadn't found Brother Skydream yet and hadn't attached a soul ring, replicating the skill Spiritual Detection was not difficult for him.
With the aid of Spiritual Detection, Huo Yuhao easily avoided all nearby soul beasts, wandering around leisurely.
Suddenly, while sitting on a tree branch watching a pig-shaped soul beast leave below, Huo Yuhao felt his spirit being slightly touched.
In the next moment, a somewhat youthful female voice rang out by his ear:
"Hahahaha! Sister here is truly blessed by the heavens! To think I'd encounter a mental-attribute human so quickly!"
As the words fell, the tree beneath Huo Yuhao's feet instantly began to collapse. Simultaneously, the ground began to vibrate violently without warning.
Huo Yuhao jumped down from the tree, steadied his form, and watched as cracks appeared in the ground before him. Then, a massive figure crawled out.
Its round body was like white jade, crystal clear, with faint golden light flowing over its skin. Except for the head, the body was divided into ten segments, and each segment bore a divinely mysterious golden pattern.
Million-year-old Soul Beast—the Skydream Ice Silkworm!
Huo Yuhao's heart relaxed slightly, but in the next second, he suddenly realized something was wrong!
Why... why was Brother Skydream's voice female?!
Huo Yuhao's expression stiffened as a suspicion naturally arose.
As for the Skydream Ice Silkworm, seeing Huo Yuhao's stiff expression, she simply thought he was speechless with shock at her beautiful form.
Swaying her body slightly, Skydream spoke: "Don't be afraid, young man! Sister won't hurt you! On the contrary, I'm going to give you a great fortune!"
Skydream's voice pulled Huo Yuhao's mind back. He looked up at the familiar figure before him and decided to set aside the matter of Brother Skydream becoming Sister Skydream for now.
Without explaining, Huo Yuhao raised his hand. Using his own soul power, mental power, and the power of emotion, he wove them together into a sheet of pure white paper. Then, drawing upon a tiny bit of the power of fate stored within the Eye of Destiny to serve as ink, he began to write a contract.
Nearby, when Huo Yuhao drew upon the Eye of Destiny, Skydream felt a terrifying aura flash by for a split second. She froze instantly, then subconsciously curled up and retreated several steps.
"Wh-What was that thing?!"
Her small golden eyes blinked, filled with a bit of fear.
Huo Yuhao smiled and spoke:
"Soul Spirit Contract, though it's a revised version," Huo Yuhao began to explain softly.
This was a half-finished product Huo Yuhao had researched in his previous life during his spare time. His original intent was to use the Soul Spirit Contract to completely resolve the conflict between humans and soul beasts in the Douluo World.
Unfortunately, halfway through his research, he discovered that the entire Douluo World was completely blockaded by Tang San, and he simply could not transmit information inside.
With no other choice, he had to give up and turned his attention to researching how to increase his own strength to backstab Tang San.
Skydream's small golden eyes blinked again. Soul Spirit Contract? What was that? When did such a good thing appear?!
Looking at the shocked gaze of Brother Skydream... er, Sister Skydream, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile.
As a First-rank God in his previous life, combined with the knowledge left behind by Elder Yi, he had successfully researched this revised version of the half-finished product.
After signing this revised Soul Spirit Contract, Skydream would not lose her body, and her consciousness would be fully preserved.
Furthermore, the contract would only cause a portion of Skydream's energy to transform into a soul ring. This soul ring would then become her dwelling, placing her in a state similar to a summoned beast!
In this state, Skydream's strength would be somewhat weakened, but the weakened portion was due to using energy to help Huo Yuhao condense the soul ring!
To put it in plain terms, after the contract was signed, Skydream would act as Huo Yuhao's personal bodyguard and could use her abilities without any restrictions.
Moreover, to outside observers, Skydream's existence would appear like a special soul skill effect rather than being recognized as something else.
Of course, the price of this method was the absence of a soul bone, but for Huo Yuhao, that was inconsequential.
The path from Level 1 to Level 100 to become a god was feasible, but for Huo Yuhao, it wasn't enough.
He needed more accumulation, more assistance; he wanted to become a God King the very instant he reached Level 100!
Therefore, simple soul power cultivation and soul ring absorption were absolutely not enough for him!
