634: Dudu: I am not clean anymore

Just as Yang Dian was pondering whether, since the bottom of the Han Quan on Tiannan Star could give birth to Cold Silkworms, places like volcanoes and thunder prisons could give birth to rule-based life forms like Fire Silkworms and Lei Can (Thunder Silkworms), he felt a sharp prickling sensation in his palm again.

He looked down, and sure enough, the little thing, still defiant, had bitten him again, wanting to sign a Soul contract with him?

As his gaze fell upon the Cold Silkworm, a thought surfaced in Yang Dian's mind.

“The last one doesn’t count, let’s do it again!”

“Let us form a contract, ba~”

As the childlike voice rang out again, Yang Dian couldn’t help but smile.

“You little thing.”

Pinching the Cold Silkworm’s soft, squishy body, Yang Dian then grabbed its body, slowly stretched it out, and with a “pop~” pulled it off his palm.

“Why do you insist on forming a Soul contract with me?”

The Cold Silkworm, rejected by Yang Dian again, seemed to lose all ability to resist. It flipped over and lay splayed out in Yang Dian’s palm:

“Mama told me.”

“Mama told me that no matter who enters the bottom of the Han Quan, I have to form a contract with him.”

As he spoke, it squirmed a bit in Yang Dian’s palm:

“Also, I think you smell nice.”

“I only want to form a contract with you because I like you.”

As his voice fell, it arched its body again and bit Yang Dian:

“I’ll give you one more chan…”

Before the little guy could finish speaking, it was tightly wrapped by a transparent tentacle and dragged away from Yang Dian’s palm.

“Pop pop pop pop pop~”

Watching it flail its limbs and blow bubbles, finally seeming to accept its fate as the tentacle wrapped it up, no longer moving, a smile once again appeared on Yang Dian’s lips:

“You little…”

Before he could finish, the little thing, wrapped by Dudu’s tentacle, suddenly tensed its body, then bit Dudu’s tentacle.

“You smell nice too!”

‘?’ Dudu, in a deep slumber, instantly tensed its body.

Yang Dian could feel the umbrella-like cap on his head tighten instantly, making his scalp tingle.

“Awake?”

Just as he asked, Yang Dian sensed Dudu’s newly awakened consciousness emit a feeling of grievance before falling back into slumber.

Recalling the message it had conveyed to him before falling asleep, the smile on Yang Dian’s face was impossible to hide.

[I’m not clean anymore!]

That’s right, that was the message the little guy left before falling asleep.

“This little guy.”

After a laugh, Yang Dian looked at the Cold Silkworm, which was clinging to Dudu’s tentacle and using it as a swing.

“These two little guys.”

Thinking that if there were also Fire Silkworms and Lei Cans (Thunder Silkworms) on Tiannan Star, and he found them all and they also signed contracts with Dudu, hanging from Dudu’s tentacles—which were his hair—swinging, Yang Dian couldn’t help but shiver.

“That’s too weird!”

Reaching out and plucking the Cold Silkworm from Dudu’s tentacle, and remembering the Dimension Channel previously anchored to it, Yang Dian asked curiously:

“Where is the Dimension Channel that was anchored to you before?”

The Cold Silkworm blinked, looking confused:

“What Dimension Channel?”

“Just the channel that was connected to you?”

The Cold Silkworm squirmed twice in Yang Dian’s palm:

“Baby doesn’t know, baby was just born.”

“Also, baby isn’t a Cold Silkworm, baby is a Han Quan (Cold Spring).”

As it spoke, it opened its mouth again and made a strong inhaling motion.

Streaks of pale blue mist emerged from the Han Quan (Cold Spring), drawing beautiful and perfect arcs in the water before entering the Han Quan (Cold Spring)’s mouth.

Watching the trails of mist left in the water, Yang Dian subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

“Ice attribute…”

“No, it should be the materialized display of the cold attribute rule runes?”

In his thoughts, countless pale blue mists all entered the Han Quan (Cold Spring)’s mouth.

The little guy also arched its body and bumped its stomach with its head:

“Baby is full, baby wants to sleep.”

After speaking, the Han Quan (Cold Spring) yawned, and after yawning, its entire body dispersed into a mist, attaching itself to the hair formed by Dudu’s tentacles.

Looking at the hair that had turned from black to dark blue, Yang Dian’s eyes twitched involuntarily.

“If I get a few more silkworms, won’t I turn into a punk?”

After a complaint, Yang Dian shifted his attention back to the bottom of the Han Quan (Cold Spring).

Perhaps the little thing’s sudden suck had sucked all the cold Qi from the Han Quan (Cold Spring), and the temperature at the bottom of the Han Quan (Cold Spring), which had directly overturned the laws of physics, returned to normal.

Feeling the sudden surge in water pressure, Yang Dian pondered for a moment before collecting the ‘shell’ that the Han Quan (Cold Spring) had broken open.

Looking closely, Yang Dian could see extremely intricate and dizzying patterns on the exuviae.

“Cold Qi rules?”

Controlling his Qi and blood to outline the patterns on the exuviae, Yang Dian felt a chilling cold Qi rise in his heart.

“Aside from the Dimension Channel escaping, this trip wasn’t in vain.”

In his thoughts, he had another idea and opened the panel that had been untouched for a long time.

Ignoring the data on the panel used to display his strength, Yang Dian first focused his attention on the top of the panel.

As expected, a cold white, chilling pattern imprint had appeared at the top of the panel.

“Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, Battle Intent, sharpness, thunder, plus the newly comprehended cold Qi.”

“I’ve mastered nine rule runes?”

Comparing the somewhat simple cold Qi imprint to the other several pattern imprints, Yang Dian closed the panel again.

“Just grasping cold Qi, I don’t know to what extent I can use it.”

In his thoughts, Yang Dian again sensed his surroundings.

After confirming that the Dimension Channel had indeed disappeared into space, he moved his body and flew towards the top of the Han Quan (Cold Spring).

“Besides the Han Quan (Cold Spring), there’s also a Fire Spring on Tiannan Star that resembles a volcano but has no magma, only pervasive flames.”

“A Thunder Spring that is struck by lightning every moment.”

“And a Mist Spring that seems to contain endless mist, and a Blood Spring that seems to gather countless blood.”

“According to Zero’s statistics, these spring eyes also exist at the intersection of earth veins and water veins, and there’s a possibility of Dimension Channels existing.”

“So, will there be rule-based life forms similar to the Han Quan (Cold Spring) in these spring eyes?”

Yang Dian expressed great anticipation for this.

As for the Dimension Channel leading to Star Core Space?

The Star Core is very important, but compared to rule-based life forms, it doesn’t seem that important.

As of now, the number of civilizations that Earth has directly or indirectly contacted has exceeded tens of thousands.

Tens of thousands of civilizations represent tens of thousands of planets, and also mean tens of thousands of Star Cores.

But among these tens of thousands of civilizations, the number of records of rule-based life forms is 0.

Yes, that’s right, before this, no civilization had ever recorded the existence of rule-based life forms, or anything similar to them.

“Hmm, it’s not that there aren’t any.”

“It seems a few civilizations have recorded Divine Beasts that can summon wind and rain and live as long as the world.”

“Could those Divine Beasts be rule-based life forms?”
