Why do I want to capture you?
It’s like an innocent child happily playing, suddenly a big man rushes over to bind the child and run, the child asks the man, "I don’t even know you, why are you capturing ?"
Because you’re a rare Phoenix Fire Spirit, which can be used for artifact refining or enhancing power?
Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have no life, Carson Flores takes them with peace of mind, but when facing the Phoenix Fire Spirit, which already possesses life, Carson struggles to answer its question confidently.
Carson thought for a mont and asked, "How old are you?"
The Phoenix Fire Spirit answered, "I don’t know, it feels like a very long ti... Can you let go? I won’t play on the ground anymore."
Carson was silent for a few seconds, and asked, "Why do you like to play on the ground?"
The Phoenix Fire Spirit answered, "It’s dark underground, I’m scared, and it’s so cold, very uncomfortable. It’s bright outside, with beautiful scenery, and it’s very warm..."
Carson asked, "Do you have any siblings or, uh, I an, any little partners like you?"
The Phoenix Fire Spirit curiously asked, "What are little partners?"
Carson explained, "Just like you, speaking flas that can play together..."
The Phoenix Fire Spirit replied, "No, I’ve always been alone. There are many flas outside, but they don’t talk."
Listening to the Phoenix Fire Spirit, Carson felt very conflicted; at that mont, he felt like a villain who kidnaps children.
The Phoenix Fire Spirit has developed intelligence, and it speaks clearly, with a very coherent logical thinking; it feels like its intelligence is at least at the level of a ten-year-old human.
Such an existence, Carson finds it difficult to treat it as a lifeless Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure.
He is a living being, just different in form from humans.
If he handed it over to the red-clothed woman, what fate would it face?
Refined into an artifact?
Or perhaps absorbed as cultivation resources?
A sense of unwillingness arose in Carson’s heart instinctively, wondering if there was a way to save it?
Carson thought for a mont: "Can you divide your body?"
The Phoenix Fire Spirit asked, "How to divide?"
Carson explained why he had captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit, and surprisingly, the Phoenix Fire Spirit imdiately understood: "You an you don’t really want to capture nor hurt , and if I can divide, you can use my divided body to report back?"
Carson nodded: "Yes, that’s what I an; this way, you can survive."
"Sure."
The Phoenix Fire Spirit answered brightly: "Dividing flas is a simple matter, but after division, I will beco weaker and will need a long ti to recover."
Carson sighed in relief: "As long as you can recover, ti is not an issue. If you were killed, you would have nothing left."
"Alright!"
Under Carson’s gaze, the Phoenix Fire Spirit swiftly pulled apart and then quickly turned into two small versions of the Fire Phoenix.
The Phoenix Fire Spirit on the left spoke: "I am the main body, the other one is my incarnation; it looks just like , but it’s not as smart as . However, if given enough ti and nutrients, it can grow up like now, even stronger."
Carson instantly understood; the Phoenix Fire Spirit divided into seemingly identical individuals, but in reality, they were not truly completely equal. Power may have split in half, but there is a significant difference in intelligence.
If the original Phoenix Fire Spirit had the intelligence level of an eighteen-year-old human, after division, the one on the left might have the physicality of a nine-or-ten-year-old, with a sixteen-or-seventeen-year-old soul, while the right one might have the physicality of a nine-or-ten-year-old but a soul of seven-or-eight years old.
Carson worriedly asked, "If he is handed over to soone else, will he reveal your secret of division?"
The Phoenix Fire Spirit answered, "He is , we were originally one entity; he won’t."
The Phoenix Fire Spirit’s answer might make others think deeply, but Carson understood in a second.
Isn’t this just like his own Doppelganger Divine Ability?
Incarnations have independent thinking capabilities, but they wouldn’t have the thought of "I am an incarnation, I want to exist independently"; everyone is oneself, and knowing you can die, yet you will still exist. Why fear?
Carson said with a smile, "Alright, then I’ll hand him over to the other party, and I’ll take you away from here, find you a safe place!"
