Chapter 7: Planning

"Qianjue, you're at level twenty now. Should we start executing my plan to help you obtain your second martial soul?"

Back in the courtyard, the excited voice of the Skydream Iceworm echoed in Du Qianjue's mind. The Skydream Iceworm was genuinely happy. It hadn't expected the human child it had randomly chosen to have such terrifying talent. Achieving godhood and immortality seemed within reach!

Originally, it had only been thirty percent confident that it could help Du Qianjue become a god, but after witnessing his incredible cultivation speed, its confidence had risen to fifty percent. If it could take Du Qianjue to the Extreme North, that confidence would rise to seventy percent!

Understanding the concept of a body martial soul through Du Qianjue, especially his exceptional body, the Skydream Iceworm realized it was no less powerful than a super martial soul. If Du Qianjue could also gain an ultimate ice second martial soul, the Skydream Iceworm couldn't even imagine how powerful he could become, possibly as strong as Di Tian!

Di Tian's inability to become a god was due to being a soul beast. If Du Qianjue reached Di Tian's level, he would surely become a god!

Hearing the voice in his mind, Du Qianjue pondered for a while before slowly shaking his head. "It's not the right time yet. I have a plan I need to test first. If it succeeds, then we won't have anything to worry about."

"Fine, just let me know when you plan to go to the Extreme North," the Skydream Iceworm said lazily, turning over and going back to sleep.

Du Qianjue ignored the Skydream Iceworm's antics, his brows furrowed as he struggled internally.

"Should I go or not? Could there be a trap set by him there? Can my plan succeed with Uncle's help?"

Du Qianjue spent the entire day grappling with these questions. The Ontology Sect's mountain gate was near Tian Dou City, and his target was also nearby. His cautious nature made it hard to decide, but the urgency to become stronger caused immense internal conflict.

That place would undoubtedly benefit Du Busi as well, and Du Qianjue was confident it could help Du Busi break through to the ultimate Douluo level. But the potential traps left by Tang San made him wary.

"Qianjue!"

Du Busi 's voice came from outside, but the deeply conflicted Du Qianjue didn't hear it, so Du Busi walked in himself. Upon entering, he saw Du Qianjue frowning, with dark circles under his eyes and a haggard appearance.

After all, Du Qianjue's body was still that of a six-and-a-half-year-old child. Staying awake, unfed, and unrested for an entire day was too much, even with his level twenty soul power.

Du Busi was shocked and quickly walked to Du Qianjue's side, placing a large hand on his back, gently infusing his thick, gentle soul power to soothe his exhaustion.

"Uncle," Du Qianjue looked up and forced a smile.

Du Busi genuinely cared for him. Du Qianjue was unsure about taking Du Busi on this dangerous venture. Even a sliver of Tang San's divine thought could kill an ultimate Douluo as easily as crushing a chicken, and Du Busi wasn't even an ultimate Douluo yet.

If his misjudgment led Tang San to care more about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well than expected, and if Tang San intervened despite the risk of offending the God of Destruction, Du Qianjue and Du Busi would die without hope of revival.

"What are you thinking about, child? Why are you so conflicted?" Du Busi looked displeased. "You're still so young, don't ruin your body like this. Do you think you're a titled Douluo already?"

"If something's bothering you, just tell Uncle. Won't I help you?"

Hearing this, Du Qianjue became even more conflicted. Du Busi's love was evident in his tone, making it even harder for Du Qianjue to drag him into a potentially deadly situation.

But remembering the original story, Du Busi would die anyway. Without breaking through, he would be severely injured by the Sun and Moon Empire's soul tools, leading to the deaths of many sect disciples, and eventually, he would self-destruct his soul core.

Du Qianjue finally made up his mind. It wasn't just him; everyone in Douluo Continent lived under Tang San's shadow. Whether soul masters or commoners, the commoners' suffering was beyond his control. He wasn't a saint and didn't intend to bring the red spirit of another world here.

But for soul masters, it was a different story. Those who wanted to progress further were oppressed by Tang San.

Following the Skydream's plan, obtaining the Ice Empress's soul ring and martial soul would certainly enhance his talent, possibly making him as powerful as Qian Renxue from ten thousand years ago. But Qian Renxue still died, despite her own mistakes. Tang San's strength, though not much, was still significant.

To achieve more, Du Qianjue had to take risks and fight for it.

"Uncle, if I said I wanted to take us on a dangerous adventure that might cost our lives, would you go with me?" Du Qianjue looked directly into Du Busi's eyes and asked slowly.

Du Busi frowned, contemplating Du Qianjue's words. He understood that Du Qianjue was hesitant to take him along on a potentially deadly venture.

"Is there a compelling reason to go? What can we gain if the adventure succeeds?" Du Busi asked calmly.

"There isn't a compelling reason. If we fail, we'll surely die. But if we succeed, you have a high chance of breaking through to level ninety-nine, and I have a high chance of laying the foundation to become a god..." Du Qianjue lowered his head and spoke softly.

"Breaking through to the ultimate level and laying the foundation for godhood..." Du Busi couldn't help but feel tempted. The opportunity to break through to the ultimate level was already enticing, but the chance to help Du Qianjue lay the foundation for godhood was nearly irresistible.

After taking several deep breaths to calm his greedy desires, Du Busi freed himself from temptation. He didn't doubt Du Qianjue's words, just as he had allowed him to interact with the Skydream Iceworm six months ago.

And six months ago, the result was that Du Qianjue obtained a million-year soul ring and an undeveloped second martial soul.

"Wait, second martial soul?" Du Busi's eyelid twitched. "Qianjue, does this have to do with your second martial soul?"

Du Qianjue looked up in surprise at Du Busi. He hadn't expected him to deduce that.

"Yes."
