“Tianmeng, can you tell me why you chose to merge with me?” Ji Lin suddenly asked.
In the tranquil and mysterious mental space, Ji Lin and Tianmeng Iceworm stood facing each other.
Ji Lin’s eyes were filled with confusion, while Tianmeng Iceworm looked unfathomable, as if contemplating something.
Although he used a Fate Modification Card, he only changed Tianmeng Iceworm’s fate of meeting Huo Yuhao to him.
The one who truly made the choice was still Tianmeng Iceworm.
Tianmeng Iceworm smiled bitterly and said, “My choice of you was a last resort.
My time is running out.
I originally wanted to choose a host with a mental Spirit, but at that time, I met you.
Although your talent and mental force are far beyond ordinary people, you are indeed not the most suitable for me.
But at that time, I had no other choice, so I could only take a gamble, and thankfully, I succeeded in the end.” Speaking of this, Tianmeng Iceworm looked proud, clearly complacent about the success of his plan.
Then Tianmeng Iceworm began to recount his own experiences to Ji Lin.
He was born into the Iceworm clan in the Extreme North Land and accidentally fell into the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, From then on, I lived a happy life of eating and sleeping..
Until he broke through racial limitations, his cultivation soared, and after consuming all the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, he broke through to nine hundred thousand years.
Then he drilled out from the bottom of the ice cave and reached the ocean, drifting on the sea, encountering a powerful enemy for the first time.
At this point, Tianmeng Iceworm seemed a bit embarrassed, “But my combat power is really too low; I don’t know how to fight at all.
In the end, I could only scare away the opponent by relying on my powerful mental force.
Then I thought, I feel the sea is very dangerous, perhaps the land would be safer.
So, I went ashore.
However, I found that the land was not safe either.
Because I absorbed too much cold marrow, my body had a special smell that could attract the attention of Spirit Beasts.
It would cause them to treat me as food.
I am truly too tragic.” Speaking of this, Tianmeng Iceworm’s expression was sorrowful.
“Afterward, I was caught by a one hundred thousand-year Spirit Beast.
It didn’t kill me but took me to the Star Dou Great Forest, wanting to absorb my spirit power to break through the year limit.
It was only then that I realized that to other Spirit Beasts, I was a great tonic; anyone could absorb my spirit power to break through the year limit.” “But that guy underestimated my power.
Although I’m not good at fighting, I can release my aura.
So, I attracted all the one hundred thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Hehe.” “At that time, many one hundred thousand-year Spirit Beasts and ten thousand-year Spirit Beasts came, and they fought incredibly fiercely!
To monopolize my original spirit power, they fought tooth and nail.
I originally wanted to find an opportunity to escape.
But who knew, these guys were cunning; they stopped fighting and started negotiating when they were almost done.
As a result, I became tragic.
They reached a consensus to absorb my power together; anyway, my spirit power was vast enough.
Then they imprisoned me in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, forcing me to release my own original spirit power for them to absorb.
These bastards, they simply treated me as food.” “Alas, unable to resist, I could only let them absorb my spirit power.
After thousands of years of contemplation and observation, I found that to escape their control, I not only had to run away but also had to hide my aura.
Then, a few times, some humans entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts, and I noticed them.
What a pity, they had a miserable end.
Under the nourishment of my original spirit power, the one hundred thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest all became stronger, many breaking through their year limits.
Although those humans carried very powerful spirit tools, they still suffered heavy losses.
But it also allowed me to see the advantages of you humans.” Tianmeng Iceworm sighed, then continued, “Although your individual strength is not as good as Spirit Beasts, your teamwork ability and wisdom are far superior to Spirit Beasts.
Moreover, you also have various spirit tools and Spirit Abilities, which Spirit Beasts do not possess.
So, I decided to find a powerful human host and use your wisdom and strength to protect myself.
After much deliberation, I decided to try to become a human spirit ring.
This way, that human would definitely be particularly powerful, and with my mental attribute, I could maintain my consciousness and become an unprecedented wise spirit ring in your human history.
So, I started to try.
But who knew, the first attempt failed.
I only found out later that to merge with me, one’s mental force must first be strong.
So, I researched for thousands of years without success.
I was on the verge of exhaustion.” “Heaven still favored me.
Just as I was despairing, the tenth golden pattern appeared on my body, and I broke through to become a million-year Spirit Beast.
I finally gained some combat power, but I definitely couldn’t defeat those one hundred thousand-year Spirit Beasts.
I couldn’t get revenge myself.
So, I found an opportunity and finally managed to hide my aura and escape by burrowing into the ground with the power from my breakthrough.” “Alas—” Tianmeng Iceworm, this million-year Spirit Beast who had experienced much, his words were full of emotion, “It was only when I broke through that I realized the million-year heavenly tribulation was too terrifying for me to overcome.
Although it barely allowed me to escape their control, my lifespan was nearing its end due to the heavenly tribulation.
If I couldn’t survive in another way, I would soon die from life Exhaustion.
It was also at this time that I met you, this little guy.
It can be considered my luck turning around.
Your mental force is strong, and your talent is astonishing.
You are the most talented human I have ever seen.
With my help, there’s a high probability you can break through to level 100 and become a god.” “I chose to merge with you.
No matter what, those bastards won’t get my origin,” Tianmeng Iceworm’s words revealed his unwillingness about the past and his anticipation for the future.
He believed that merging with Ji Lin would open a new chapter, allowing his life to shine even brighter.” Listening to Tianmeng Iceworm’s narration, Ji Lin’s heart also surged with admiration.
He understood that Tianmeng Iceworm’s choice was not easy.
Ji Lin also felt that Tianmeng Iceworm was too tragic, and he sincerely said, “Thank you for choosing me, Tianmeng.
Since you have chosen me, then I will protect you and will not let you experience the previous tragedy again.” Then his tone changed, and he teased, “But Tianmeng, you are indeed too weak, aren’t you?” Tianmeng Iceworm, who was being mocked by Ji Lin, angrily chased Ji Lin out of the mental sea and went to sleep on the side.
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
