Under the tree is a white jade round platform about one meter high and three meters in diameter. There are golden vertical lines on the platform, and the air around it seems to be faintly chilly.
A boy in black and gold clothes was sitting cross-legged on it.
He looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, with messy short fiery red hair that made him look very flamboyant, but there was a hint of literary elegance between his eyebrows and eyes, and he looked quite kind.
The Spine-tailed Swift landed in front of the white jade round platform, and a series of graceful bird calls came out of its pointed beak: "Auspicious beast, auspicious beast, the human child you asked me to watch has left the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion~"
A vertical crack appeared in the middle of the boy's forehead, revealing a blood-red pupil. The somewhat scary blood-red eyeball moved slightly in the eye socket, and then the third eye on his forehead closed.
"I understand." The three-eyed golden lion in human form said softly, and a tiny golden light gently floated to the sharp-tailed swift, "Thank you for your hard work. Go find your clan leader to receive your reward."
The patriarch of the Spine-tailed Swift clan is a hundred thousand year old soul beast.
It is almost impossible for such a weak race to practice for a hundred thousand years, but such a miracle did happen in the Star Forest.
The swift let out a series of excited chirps, "Thank you, auspicious beast!" Then it flapped its wings and flew towards the tribe's home.
The reward from the clan leader was not that important. What was important was the luck that the auspicious beast had just bestowed upon it. With this little bit of luck, this spike-tailed swift would be very lucky for a long time to come.
Wang Rui sat there in a daze, gazing towards the south of the Star Forest. After a while, he let out a long sigh as if he had made a decision.
He raised his hand and patted the white jade table under his buttocks, "Tianmeng, wake up. The human who is suitable to be your host has already left."
There was no response.
"Tianmeng, Tianmeng?" He clapped a few more times.
A well-shaped character popped up on Wang Rui's forehead.
"Ah, the weather in late summer is so hot... This ice silkworm hasn't woken up yet. Maybe it has suffered from heatstroke? As we all know, an ice silkworm that has suffered from heatstroke cannot be saved and can only wait to die. Why don't we eat it?" he said to himself.
"It is just right to eat ice silkworms with ice properties in this season. It can not only increase your cultivation, but also relieve the heat. After cutting off the head of this fat white insect, there will be ten sections left. We can divide them equally among everyone. One section for Di Tian, one section for me, one section for Zi Ji, one section for me, one section for Wen Wen, one section for me..."
"No, no, no, brother is awake, brother is awake!" The panicked voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded.
"Whose brother are you?" Wang Rui asked with a smile.
"You are my brother, you are my brother!" The white jade platform trembled, then actually stretched out, and a huge fleshy and round head rose up from the center of the platform.
The pair of little golden eyes on its head looked mean, and the whole worm actually looked like it wanted to be beaten.
"That's more like it." Wang Rui snorted, "It's obviously you who has reached the end of your life span and needs to find a host, but you don't care and just sleep in."
"Hey, you are my best friend, the omnipotent imperial beast in the Star Dou Great Forest!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm laughed.
Wang Rui did not answer this question. He lowered his eyes and said calmly: "The human child has already set off for Xingdou. He has the most advanced spiritual martial soul, eyes and brain among humans, but his physical condition is relatively weak. But it should have no impact on your plan."
"You're a little weaker..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttered reluctantly.
“Stop being picky.” Wang Rui rolled his eyes. “Do you know how rare pure spiritual humans are? Or do you think you can wait any longer with your limited life span? That human is the son of destiny in the Douluo World. You will definitely make the right choice by choosing him as your host.”
"How do you know?" Tian Meng asked stupidly.
"I am the omnipotent imperial beast. I know everything." The boy sneered.
As early as eleven years ago, when Huo Yuhao was just born in his mother's womb, the destiny of mankind had already experienced extremely drastic fluctuations.
In the world observed by Wang Rui's Eye of Destiny, a terrifying funnel-shaped cyclone appeared in the south, and a huge amount of luck gathered above the capital of the Xingluo Empire.
It was like dark clouds pressing down on the city, or an impending downpour. In the eyes of Wang Rui, who was able to observe the destiny of heaven and earth, this scene looked like a precursor to some kind of natural disaster and was quite terrifying.
After all, he is the second protagonist of the Douluo IP, a world darling who appears only once in ten thousand years. Although Huo Yuhao's ending is a bit regrettable, he is still the son of destiny and the protagonist standing at the center of the stage of an era.
Before Huo Yuhao was born, the Douluo World had experienced such a drastic fluctuation in luck - this is why Tang San, the God King who was far away in the God Realm, was able to sense that a new son of destiny was born in the Douluo World, and accurately sent his daughter to "win him over".
On the day Huo Yuhao was born, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion chose to transform into a human form.
As an imperial auspicious beast, Wang Rui is different from other soul beasts. He is not restricted by fate or cultivation. He has one chance in his life to transform into a human form. After that, even if he has not reached the level of a fierce beast, he can transform freely between human and beast forms.
He chose to enter the human world in this era.
It is completely unrealistic for the soul beast clan to just hide in the forest and hope that humans will show mercy and give up their aggression.
The fortune of the Douluo plane favors humans, and King Xiong's daily clamor for destroying humans sounds feasible, but it is not practical.
Soul beasts must possess strength far beyond that of humans in order to have a say in the human world.
As the emperor's auspicious beast, Wang Rui's ambition is not limited to protecting the peace of the Star Fighting Soul Beasts. In the past 15,000 years, he has done a lot.
In the past ten thousand years, Wang Rui has brought great changes to the soul beast clan.
Soul beasts of different races have initially united, and he has also established a force as a springboard for soul beasts to intervene in the human world.
In the Peerless Tang Sect era, there was the dead spirit god Alex from another world; there were the sons of destiny who were blessed by spirit beasts and could be won over to their side; the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun-Moon Empire were still fighting endlessly; destruction and life were still in the God Realm, and Tang San did not dare to openly let his father be the plane master of the Douluo World...
This era will be the best debut stage for the soul beast clan, which has been gathering strength for fifteen thousand years.
The strength of the Star Dou Forest has far exceeded the strength of the Star Dou Great Forest in the original work during the same period, but this is still not enough.
Wang Rui needs more help.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's "God-making Plan" is the most important part of the original novel, and was also included in Wang Rui's own plan.
It is in the interests of Xingdou to cultivate a god-level strongman who stands on the side of soul beasts and supports the power of soul beasts.
Although the plight of soul beasts cannot be solved by a single god, and humans cannot directly interfere in the lower world after becoming gods, this thing is like a nuclear weapon. There is an essential difference between having it and not having it.
...Have you not seen that Tang San alone has intimidated the Douluo Three Kingdoms for tens of thousands of years? If it weren't for the reputation of the Sea God's alma mater, how could the Douluo Three Kingdoms tolerate Shrek riding on their heads and plundering their domestic resources and talents?
If there was no deterrence from the gods, which ruler with a bit of ambition and brains would allow Shrek to develop to the extent described in the original book?
So, Huo Yuhao?
Bring it to you.jpg
But Wang Rui did not tell Tianmeng Ice Silkworm about these considerations.
He patted Tian Meng's plump body and said, "It's about time for you to go, right? How many days will it take for such a big bug to move to the edge of the stars? Don't let that kid take the other spirit rings and there will be no place for you, and you won't have a place to cry."
"Why do I feel like you are chasing me away?" Tian Meng said resentfully.
"When the time comes, I will take action myself to improve the child's qualifications." Wang Rui ignored him.
Obviously he looks like an eleven-year-old boy, but he calls everyone a child and looks so mature that it seems a bit funny.
"Woo woo, auspicious beast, I knew you loved me the most--" Tian Meng hummed in a mean way, and his pair of golden eyes turned into golden poached eggs.
"Get out of here!" Wang Rui was so disgusted by him that he got goosebumps and kicked Tian Meng.
The big insect's snow-white flesh bounced twice.
"Auspicious beast... If you let me go like this, won't Di Tian cause trouble for you?" Tianmeng Bingcan put away his frivolous smile, and his pair of golden eyes revealed some genuine worry.
Eight or nine thousand years ago, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had just escaped from the Arctic ice field to the land when it was caught by a hundred thousand year old soul beast in the Xingdou Great Forest.
If the Emperor Beast had not dissuaded him, he would have been eaten by those powerful soul beasts without leaving any residue. Instead of just releasing some power regularly for the soul beasts of the stars to absorb, it would be fine.
Therefore, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sincerely thanked the auspicious beast.
But Tian Meng didn't know that even if Wang Rui didn't stop the hundred thousand year soul beasts that wanted to share his food, he would still be able to live safely to this day according to his original destiny.
"Don't worry, Di Tian won't make things difficult for me." Wang Rui patted Tian Meng's head.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded, arched its head a few times on the spot, sank into the ground and disappeared.
"I've never understood why you want to make friends with the main course of dinner." Di Tian came around from behind the huge dead tree.
On the stern middle-aged face of the Beast God, there was even a hint of sorrow and resentment as if "my son was not careful in choosing friends".
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had no idea that the actual ruler of the Star Forest had been standing behind the tree and listening.
The auspicious beast's human form is a red-haired boy. I didn't expect that.jpg

Chapter 16 Communication
“I’m not making friends with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.” Wang Rui retorted, his tone like a rebellious teenager who is going against his old father. “I’m using him.”
"Xingdou Forest and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm have common interests. But if we only rely on interests to form an alliance, the other party will betray us at any time for higher interests." He said in a cold voice, with an expression that was almost indifferent. "Rather than simply binding by interests, I believe more in the bond formed by the combination of interests and emotions - I need Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to treat me as a friend."
"Then you can extract the life force of the worm and use it to cultivate the human you like. The rest of the worm body can be used to stew the cordyceps pot."
It was a rare moment of humor for Emperor Tian, but Tianmeng Ice Silkworm probably wouldn't find it funny.
"This is the way to maximize benefits. We get a sumptuous dinner, and you don't have to go to the human world to watch him grow up because you are worried that the human you like will be led astray by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his head."
"What do you think? If you really just want to use that bug, I'll go catch it now and have it as a snack for tonight."
“No, no, no.” Wang Rui’s stern face fell.
"Okay." He wiped his face, "I admit that I do treat dinner as a friend."
The Emperor's auspicious beast has a special status. In the Star Forest, there are actually not many people who can be considered his friends.
Tianmeng Bingcan was a very outgoing person, a playful person who liked to act silly. He was also stupid enough that even if he had some tricks, others could see through them at a glance.
Even if Wang Rui originally approached the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm with the intention of taking advantage of it, they did have a deep affection for each other over thousands of years.
...Although this friendship is really watery.
Tian Meng was still worried that the auspicious beast might be punished by Di Tian for letting him escape. He had no idea that Wang Rui had already privately communicated with the Beast God of Xingdou.
But then again, his attitude towards Tian Meng was really strange in Di Tian's eyes, Wang Rui thought with a wry smile.
It was probably similar to the joke on the Internet in his previous life: the vampire elder didn't understand why his own children were so friendly to humans, just like humans didn't understand why their own children made friends with chicken legs.
After all, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is so fragrant that the whole worm does not look like a living soul beast at all, but rather like a large piece of natural treasure, similar to an oversized moving ice cream.
Wang Rui's self-control was already very strong as he stayed with the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and didn't get bitten twice.
"If the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm really does something that is detrimental to Xingdou..." Wang Rui paused, "I will turn it into a stew pot with my own hands."
