Chapter 592: Tianmeng Iceworm

"Gu Yuena, I am a human, so no matter what, I will not stand on the side of you Spirit Beasts. Regarding your treatment, I must ensure you pose no threat to us humans before I proceed. I hope you understand this point." Feihuang did not want to be a traitor to humanity.

Although he was also selfish, and the common people of the world were insignificant compared to his family, otherwise, simply not treating the Silver Dragon King would have been the safest course of action.

Unfortunately, in Feihuang's heart, whether it was his father, mother, Qian Renxue, or Lv Lingqi, they were all far more important than the so-called common people of the world, so he always prioritized their interests.

It was precisely because he had such selfish thoughts that he always knew he could not be a good emperor.

Since he could not be one, he simply wouldn't be; he would just be a general who unified the world, and then work hard to cultivate a descendant who cared for the common people.

However, being selfish did not mean being helpless; if there was a way to achieve the best of both worlds within his power, why not use it?

As long as Feihuang remained stronger than Gu Yuena, he would not fear her having any ulterior motives.

After all, their deal was limited to treatment, but that did not mean Feihuang would stop attacking Spirit Beasts from then on.

If, after curing Gu Yuena, she had thoughts of destroying humanity, at worst, he would just kill her then.

"I understand. If I were in your position, I would have the same considerations," Gu Yuena nodded. "Actually, you don't need to be so guarded. Whether you believe it or not, my goal is not high. I truly only seek fairness, to allow my Spirit Beast kin to have the same fair chance to become gods as humans." Gu Yuena said sorrowfully.

Feihuang also understood this. If not for the inexplicable difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation, even the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, with its super-strong lineage, would have to find ways to suppress its own cultivation, turning pale at the mere mention of the Heavenly Tribulation.

In the original story, that Tianmeng Iceworm wouldn't have been able to trick her into becoming Huo Yuhao's Second Martial Soul with just a few words.

"Why should we Spirit Beasts be subjected to such treatment? One day, I will definitely lead my kin to strike back at the God Realm and reclaim the word 'fairness' for my Spirit Beast race." Gu Yuena appeared very agitated, but compared to her in the original story, what she sought now was actually much more normal.

It was even somewhat humble; everything was just for fairness. What a simple request.

Gu Yuena had self-awareness. No matter how strong she was, she couldn't defeat the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm. If she demanded too much and pushed those five God Kings to the brink, the Spirit Beasts would truly be wiped out.

"Gu Yuena, you are a good king now, but unfortunately, I am also a Crown Prince," Feihuang sighed.

Gu Yuena, who had not met that Tang Wulin, could indeed be called a qualified king. She considered everything for her race, and it was no wonder that even a figure like Ditian respected her so much and was willing to serve her as his sovereign.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena sighed, "Fine, let's do as you say. Treat part of my injuries first, and I will give you that Iceworm. Once you become a god, you can treat the remaining part."

Feihuang smiled, "Thank you for your understanding."

"Ditian, bring that Iceworm here," Gu Yuena ordered.

"Yes!" Ditian received the order and went down. Before long, he was seen carrying a snow-white, large, fleshy worm over. On the worm's body, there were nine golden patterns.

Sure enough, the Tianmeng Iceworm at this moment was still only a 990,000-year Spirit Beast, still some distance away from a million years.

"Bastard, Ditian, you bastard! It wasn't enough for you to absorb my origin, and now you actually want to give me to a human? This is truly going too far!" The big worm struggled vigorously in Ditian's hand. Unfortunately, its physical Attack power was approximately zero; no matter how it struggled in Ditian's hand, it was futile.

It was also truly afraid. After all, in the hands of a Ferocious Beast, it would at most have its origin absorbed, but in the hands of a human Spirit Master, it would be turned into a Spirit Ring in minutes and meet its Death.

Feihuang stepped forward and smiled, "You must be the Golden-Patterned Iceworm. Why be so afraid? I won't harm you. On the contrary, I am here to give you an opportunity."

"Hmph, what opportunity? If you want to turn me into a Spirit Ring, just say so. Do you think I would believe you humans? Let me tell you, I would rather die than submit! Even if I self-detonate my spirit and blow up my Spirit Ring, I won't let you seize..." Tianmeng Iceworm roared in Anger.

It was just that its thick, youthful voice, combined with a tone that trembled slightly due to extreme fear, had absolutely no deterrent power at all.

Hearing Tianmeng Iceworm chattering on and on, Feihuang and Gu Yuena didn't mind, but someone else was being driven to distraction.

"Shut up, you piece of trash! You're so noisy!" Bingdi transmitted her voice through her soul.

Hearing Bingdi's voice, Tianmeng Iceworm immediately calmed down, "Th... this voice, are you Bingbing? How are you in a human's body?"

"I offered myself as a Sacrifice to this human. After all, you know that my cultivation has reached 390,000 years, and the 400,000-year limit is approaching. I didn't have the confidence to pass it, so I chose another method: entrusting myself to a human prodigy. In the future, when he becomes a god, I can gain eternal life as his Companion Divine Beast," Bingdi said.

"Good idea!" Tianmeng Iceworm's eyes lit up. It was actually also worrying about its future Million-Year God Tribulation.

Although it was so weak that the ordinary 100,000-year Heavenly Tribulations in the past hadn't noticed it, the Million-Year God Tribulation was different; there would absolutely be no oversights, and it would be dead for sure when the time came.

Actually, this method of being a Companion Divine Beast was something it had thought of first in the original story. It should have been the one persuading Bingdi, but now it had turned into Bingdi persuading it.

Tianmeng Iceworm suddenly leaped violently and jumped to Feihuang's feet, "Big boss, give me a chance! I also want to be your Companion Divine Beast. Please save a room for me in your Spirit Sea. I'll use my 990,000 years of cultivation as rent. I want to live with Bingbing! I beg you!!!"

As the world's number one sycophant Spirit Beast, once Bingdi appeared, face, dignity, cultivation, and even life were not worth mentioning to Tianmeng Iceworm.

Just thinking about being able to live with Bingdi in Feihuang's Spirit Sea from now on made it smile in its dreams.

"It's truly shameful! This seat wants to expel it from the Spirit Beast race!" Ditian was furious. As the Spirit Beast with the highest cultivation on the continent, it was now fawning over a human like a lackey. It had completely disgraced the Spirit Beast race. Hadn't it just been saying righteously that it would rather self-detonate than become a Spirit Ring for a human? How could it throw its bottom line a hundred thousand miles away the moment Bingdi appeared?

Gu Yuena, however, had no dissatisfaction with this; instead, she felt a bit relieved.

After all, this Iceworm was also her subject. She had previously allowed the Ferocious Beasts to absorb its origin for cultivation. Although she had no selfish motives and did it for the development of the Spirit Beast race, she had indeed wronged this fellow.

If it could find a good future and live together with its beloved, it could be considered a small consolation.
