Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 51 The Two Ice and Snow Emperors Agree to the Sacrifice
Xue Di fell into deep thought.

This proposal was so astonishing that it completely overturned her understanding of things that she had held for hundreds of thousands of years.

But that divine mark, which cannot be faked, makes all of this seem... not entirely impossible.

But to ask Xue Di to stake her life and future on a human boy she had just met.

This is a huge bet.

After a long silence, the Snow Empress raised her icy blue eyes and asked the most crucial, and most fatal, question:
"How can we believe that you will keep your promise and resurrect us after you become a god?"

Her voice was clear and sharp, hitting the nail on the head.

"Humans and soul beasts are mortal enemies. Among your human race, there is a saying: 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.'"

The Ice Emperor, who was standing to the side, also put away his previous playfulness and his eyes became extremely serious as he stared intently at Dai Yuntian.

Trying to catch even the slightest hint of hypocrisy or wavering from his face.

They were prepared that if Dai Yuntian's answer was even slightly inappropriate, they would rather perish than accept this "sacrifice with a tiger."

Faced with this soul-searching question, Dai Yuntian calmly replied, "Trust does indeed require a foundation. Therefore, I can show you my sincerity with my second soul skill, 'Accomplice to a Tiger'."

"It can completely preserve the target's soul and memories, transforming them into a special 'Changgui' state. You are not truly dead, but have only temporarily lost your physical bodies. Your souls will be under my protection until the day I become a god."

"Are there really such amazing soul skills?"

Hyotei was the first to express her doubt. She walked a few steps to Dai Yuntian, almost bringing her face close to his, her emerald eyes gleaming with scrutiny.

They were trying to force him to reveal a weakness through this oppressive approach.

Unfortunately, Dai Yuntian was not lying.

His eyes were clear, his expression calm, and he showed no sign of guilt.

Hyotei looked him up and down for a long time but couldn't find anything wrong. He could only take a step back, put his hands on his hips, look at Yuki-tei, and shake his head, indicating that he "couldn't see anything wrong with it."

After a moment of contemplation, Xue Di made her final request: "Words are not enough. Could you... demonstrate it to us in person?"

This matter is of utmost importance. They must verify the effects of this unheard-of soul skill with their own eyes before they will believe it.

Dai Yuntian readily agreed: "Sure, but I need you to help me find a suitable soul beast for the demonstration."

"That's easy, I'll be right back."

Hyotei's eyes lit up, and before he could finish speaking, he had already turned into a streak of green light and disappeared from the spot.

In no time, she flew back in a flurry, carefully holding a plump, translucent ice silkworm with pale golden patterns in her hands.

She looked at the ice silkworm in her hand, couldn't help but swallow hard, and reluctantly handed it to Dai Yuntian:
"Look, this is a golden-bodied ice silkworm, a once-in-a-century find. The taste... cough cough, I mean, the quality is excellent! That should be enough for your demonstration, right?"

These frozen silkworms are one of her favorite snacks.

"enough."

Dai Yuntian took the still slightly wriggling ice silkworm, and his right hand was instantly enveloped by a dark and evil soul power. Without hesitation, he threw a punch!
"Pfft!"

The ice silkworm died instantly.

Juice splattered everywhere!

Hyotei felt so sorry for them.

You should know that this golden ice silkworm is her favorite ingredient in her diet.

She raised it for a long time, planning to find it a mate when it reached its thousandth birthday, so they could have offspring and she would have an endless supply of golden ice silkworms.

However, for the sake of their future marriages, they have no choice but to reluctantly give up their love.

"Second Soul Skill: Serving as an Accomplice to a Tiger!"

Dai Yuntian gave a low shout, a dark light swirling in his palm. The next moment, to the astonishment of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress...

A golden ice silkworm, almost identical to the one from before, slowly reformed in his palm.

The only difference is that his aura is nearly half weaker than before, making him appear somewhat listless.

"She really came back to life?"

Hyotei was the first to rush forward, curiously poking the soft, squishy body of the ice silkworm with his finger.

The ice silkworm twitched involuntarily, its eyes somewhat dazed, yet it was undeniably conscious.

"Xue'er, look! It's true! His soul skill really can preserve the soul!"

Hyotei excitedly ran to Yuki-tei, holding the ice silkworm in her hands, and showed it off like a treasure.

Xue Di blinked several times, but the image of the ice silkworm wriggling in front of her remained clear and real.

It's unbelievable.

The ice silkworm that they had just killed right under their noses had now been completely resurrected.

And this is only the price of giving up half of one's strength?

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress exchanged a glance, both seeing shock, disbelief, and eventual recognition in each other's eyes.

Xue Di walked up to Dai Yuntian, her expression becoming much more solemn: "Humans...we are willing to believe your promise, but we have not yet asked your name?"

"Dai Yuntian".

Dai Yuntian smiled slightly, and at the same time, he had a thought and prepared to recall the Ice Silkworm Ghost used for the demonstration.

"Hey, wait!"

Hyotei abruptly pulled her hand back, clutching the ice silkworm tightly to her chest, and looked at him warily: "This...this is mine. You should give it back to me after the demonstration!"

Looking at the bewildered ice silkworm in her arms, a strange thought suddenly popped into her head. She looked up at Dai Yuntian expectantly and asked, "Um, can this thing still be eaten now...?"

Dai Yuntian was taken aback by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Shouldn't a changgui be considered a spirit?

Can this be eaten?
After a long pause, Dai Yuntian hesitated before speaking, "Theoretically, it should now be considered a kind of soul energy body..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hyotei, whose foodie nature was on full display, could no longer contain their curiosity.

With a gulp, it swallowed the Ice Silkworm Ghost whole!

She smacked her lips, savored it carefully, and her eyes lit up: "Mmm! The taste hasn't changed, it's still so fresh and sweet! And..."

She suddenly revealed a look of surprise: "My mental strength seems to have increased a little bit too!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yuntian's lips twitched slightly.

Wow, this is a different kind of "you are what you eat" theory.

Consuming souls to replenish spiritual power?
This "Accomplice to a Tiger" soul skill is truly the epitome of evil—utterly bizarre!

Dai Yuntian increasingly felt that his martial soul was simply outrageously evil.

At this moment, the Snow Empress made her final decision: "Dai Yuntian, we agree to your proposal. So, how should the sacrifice proceed? Should it be now?"

Dai Yuntian removed a crescent-shaped pendant from his neck:
“My soul power is not yet at level 30, so I can no longer accept your sacrifices. If you don’t mind, you can stay in this soul tool for the time being.”

"This is a specially made pendant for living beings. It has its own space inside, which can hold living creatures and is enough for you to stay temporarily."
