633: Rule-based Divine Pet

Yang Dian, who had already delved deep into the spring eye and focused all his attention within it, naturally had no idea what was happening on the surface.

At this very moment, he was staring blankly at a small, silkworm-like creature, about the size of a cigarette butt, entirely cerulean blue, and cool to the touch.

“Can a Dimension Channel set its anchor point on a living creature?”

Exactly.

Yang Dian had found the Dimension Channel.

On this silkworm, which was squirming at the bottom of the spring eye 13,766 meters deep, there was a Dimension Channel leading to the Star Core Space!

“How can this Dimension Channel be on a living creature?”

“If the channel is on the silkworm, where is the Star Core Space?”

“Is it inside the planet, or inside the silkworm?”

After thinking for a moment, Yang Dian felt he was overthinking it.

A bug is, in fact, also a part of the planet, likewise composed of matter.

Caves, oceans, and volcanoes can serve as Dimension Channel entrances.

Why couldn’t a bug?

Watching the Dimension Channel constantly change its position as the silkworm wriggled, Yang Dian instinctively narrowed his eyes:

“This thing can carry a Dimension Channel around, so it must be some extraordinary life form, right?”

Thinking this, Yang Dian scanned his surroundings again, then nodded affirmingly.

The spring eye was very peculiar; for every 10 meters descended, the temperature dropped by one degree Celsius.

The bottom of the spring eye was 13,766 meters from the surface, meaning the current temperature was -1376°C, easily breaking through Earth’s once-called thermodynamic theoretical lower limit.

Even more astonishing, despite such a low temperature, the spring water not only didn’t freeze, but its pressure was also similar to the pressure one meter below the surface.

“Is it because the spring eye is special, or because of this cerulean blue silkworm, or perhaps because of the Dimension Channel?”

Yang Dian didn't know, but that didn't stop him from reaching out to the silkworm.

As if sensing a hint of threat from Yang Dian, the silkworm, which had been squirming at the bottom of the spring eye, suddenly bent its body, arching into a ' Several' shape.

Then it lunged at Yang Dian.

Watching the spring water instantly freeze in the silkworm’s path, Yang Dian’s pupils contracted slightly.

“Ice ability?”

As the sound just spread through the spring eye, Yang Dian’s hand was already in front of the silkworm, instinctively grabbing it.

“Crack~”

As the sound of ice cracking rang out, Yang Dian also felt a sharp pain rising in the tips of his thumb and forefinger.

Looking down at the sudden frost on his fingertips, an incredible look appeared in his eyes.

“This thing can freeze my fingers?”

What was Yang Dian’s current strength?

Star Remains Realm!

Powerful physique, vast Qi and blood, Law runes integrated into his body.

Which of these wasn't an extremely abnormal existence?

But what about this tiny thing on his fingertip?

It actually broke through the instinctive protection of his Qi and blood and runes, acting directly on his fingertip and freezing his hand.

“How is this possible?”

“If I’m not mistaken,”

“this little guy’s strength is, at most, comparable to the Middle Stage of the Star-Patrolling Realm, right?”

“How did it manage to freeze me?”

While doubting his perception, Yang Dian heard another soft “crack” sound.

Looking down, wasn’t the silkworm, having lost its life force and turned into ice, now a lump of ice on Yang Dian’s fingertip?

“Uh, did it freeze itself to death?”

In his bewilderment, Yang Dian frowned again.

The lump of ice in his hand seemed to contain something else.

Focusing his attention on the ice lump in his thoughts.

The next moment, a massive information flow suddenly appeared in Yang Dian’s mind.

“Cold, Law?”

...Once entering the realm, the spirit wanders far, the sun and moon like shuttles, yet one does not perceive return.

As countless information flows were sorted out by Yang Dian, finally converging into a snowflake symbol in his mind, Yang Dian heard another soft “crack” sound.

Coming back to his senses, Yang Dian lowered his head.

Wasn't there a crack that had appeared in the ice lump on his fingertip at some unknown point?

Yang Dian’s gaze was like flipping a switch.

As his sight fell upon the ice lump, the lump, which previously only had one crack, split open again.

In just a blink of an eye, dense cracks appeared on the ice lump.

If one observed carefully, one could even see light and shadow wriggling beneath the dark crevices.

Feeling the nascent yet robust life force within the ice lump, Yang Dian frowned again.

“First suicide, then Rebirth on the corpse?”

As the murmuring ended, another crisp sound appeared on the ice lump.

A dark shadow then broke through the ice lump, squirming through the cold spring water, and swimming to Yang Dian’s side.

Wasn’t the newly born ice silkworm trying to get close to Yang Dian?

Sensing the affection emanating from it, and not perceiving any threat from it, Yang Dian lowered his head and looked at the broken ice shell on his fingertip.

“So, where’s my Dimension Channel?”

As the thought just fell, Yang Dian felt the water around him ripple.

A strand of long hair turned transparent, wrapped around the ice silkworm that was about to get close to Yang Dian, and threw it far away.

Looking at the ice silkworm, which was still squirming towards him with undying ambition, Yang Dian’s eyes lit up, and he wrapped up the strand of hair that had turned black again:

“Are you awake?”

Dudu remained silent, still asleep.

“Still in dormant evolution?”

“If he’s still in dormant evolution, how could he suddenly stir?”

In his confusion, the strand of hair wrapped by Yang Dian turned transparent again, then once again wrapped the ice silkworm and threw it far away.

“Huh?”

“You little thing.”

“You wouldn’t be guarding even in your sleep, would you?”

Thinking back to when the Dimension Butterfly signed a contract with him and became his Soul pet, and Dudu was so angry for a long time that he couldn’t eat, Yang Dian couldn’t help but feel a little speechless.

“You little guy, your possessiveness is too strong.”

“Preventing me from signing a Soul contract with other creatures has become an instinct, hasn’t it?”

Reaching out and flicking Dudu’s tentacle, Yang Dian, with a hint of amusement, grabbed the ice silkworm into his palm before Dudu could wrap it up again.

As soon as he grabbed the ice silkworm, Yang Dian felt a faint stinging sensation on his fingertip.

“Woohoo~ Sign a contract with me~~~”

“Let us become stronger together and rule the domain of ice!”

Feeling the information that suddenly appeared in his mind, Yang Dian shook off the ice silkworm that was biting the skin of his fingertip.

“You’re very good.”

“But my home already has a jealous pot of vinegar.”

Sensing Yang Dian’s refusal, the ice silkworm, whose spirit was intertwined with Yang Dian’s, first froze for a moment, then tried to open its eyes, which were not much larger than dust, and stared intently at Yang Dian.

“Huh?”

Watching the ice silkworm release its mouth and sink to the bottom of the spring as if it had lost its spirit, Yang Dian kindly picked it up.

In the instant his spirit intertwined with the ice silkworm, he understood its purpose.

It was useful, but not that useful.

The ice silkworm could help people comprehend the Law of ice, but only the relatively superficial kind of ice Law.

Want to comprehend a more powerful Law of ice?

Yes, but he would have to spend effort cultivating it.

With that effort and resources, it would be better to cultivate himself, or Dudu.

‘However, no matter what, this thing is still a Law-type divine pet.’

‘I wonder how it was born on Tiannan Star.’

‘If I could research its birth method...’
