Chapter 3700: Immortal Lord Arrives

I am, for now, just an ordinary little red fox, but what I will become in the near future… no one can predict. Of course, I won't turn into what humans call a "fox spirit"; we cannot become "spirits."

Humans have always held a prejudice against the fox tribe, readily attributing all derogatory terms like insidious, cunning, suspicious, and sycophantic to us, which is unfair.

As for me, I'm not here to vindicate the fox tribe, nor am I that great. Even now, I'm puzzled as to why I was chosen as a "Spirit Fox"!

What is a "Spirit Fox"? Well, before the mission begins, it's necessary to clarify what "Spirit" means. This word is very important and will run through the entire story.

Since the day humans were born, each person's spirit has been inextricably linked to the spirits of other creatures on Earth. What kind of link? A mutual match, of course.

To put it simply, a complete spirit is divided into two parts: one half in a human, and the other half in a corresponding creature. This isn't based on human preference; perhaps a person's other half of their spirit is attached to the cockroach they despise the most.

Even more miraculous is that the probability of humans and creatures with matching spirits meeting is absolutely zero!

This is strange. Why prevent the two from meeting? It's simple: once they meet, their spirits will Body Integration to produce a new species. Humans will gain the abilities of the corresponding creature and activate their own hidden genetic code, thus evolving into mutated humans, which are what modern humans perceive as super-powered individuals or supermen.

The corresponding creatures will also undergo a qualitative leap, but what exactly they will become is unknown.

This would be a great thing for humanity; who wouldn't want to become a superman! However, this is just a human thought, not the Creator's!

He, the old god, established the rules, which is why the probability is zero. How do I know? This is the meaning of the existence of the "Spirit Fox."

What meaning? Naturally, it's the mission we bear. What mission? Don't worry, let me tell you slowly.

First, we need to understand why the Creator wants to prevent such a "good thing"?

Regarding the "secret" of spirit Body Integration and mutation, it's not just the fox tribe that knows about it. All creatures on Earth, except for arrogant humans, actually know.

So, logically speaking, this is an excellent way for lower creatures to escape the human "dining table culture" and be on equal footing with them. Why is no creature willing to run off and Body Integration with a human?

Animal species on Earth have no written records or history. All animals listen to "legends" passed down orally from their ancestors for generations. There is no credible evidence or practice.

The animal kingdom has similarities to the human world; most just listen to such "legends" and wouldn't be "foolish" enough to seek verification.

Even if some wanted to verify, they would be killed or eaten by humans before they could find their spirit master. Even more tragically, some animals' fur is not spared by humans, being made into their "fashionable" coats…

Some classic experiences have even become "cautionary tales" for educating future generations.

However, in the long history of the Earth, there have been rumors of "super-powered" individuals, but where their corresponding animals went, no legends or records were left… This further proves that the "benefits" of animals Body Integration with humans do not exist.

In summary, even if it were true, practical creatures would not risk their short lives to provide convenience for cruel humans.

Therefore, almost all creatures have tacitly reached a consensus: seeking to "Body Integration their spirit" with humans does not align with the values of any creature other than humans!

Don't laugh; we also have values; humans just don't understand them.

Therefore, all species on Earth are as they are now: humans are humans, animals are animals, plants are plants, water is water, Qi is Qi… In short, they are reproducing, thriving, and cycling in an ordinary way according to the Earth's Law, experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death…

Some readers might question that the total number of creatures on Earth is far greater than that of humans. A single ant colony is more numerous than all of humanity. How is the spirit matching between creatures and humans defined?

Lifespans and body weights differ… For example, can the spirit of an elephant and the spirit of a ladybug both Body Integration with corresponding humans?

First, the spirit is an invisible and odorless energy substance. It is not distinguished by material size or mass. Its existence is determined by a certain Law, or rather, it was originally designed by the Creator. We can only passively accept it.

Furthermore, not all creatures' spirits can match humans, so there is no principle that Earth's creatures must satisfy the human matching principle.

To put it bluntly, the Creator has mixed in the principle of "true is false and false is true," which is probably an invisible barrier that restricts creatures from verifying this "legend."

Even with a "barrier," spirit matching must have rules, right? What are they? This is similar to the "survival of the fittest" Law in the animal world, following the principle of "at the same moment, select the strong."

"At the same moment": refers to all creature groups born simultaneously corresponding to humans; "select the strong": as the name suggests, means choosing the spirit with the strongest energy among all creatures randomly born at the same moment.

It is said that creatures with this matching "spirit" will have a certain scent on their bodies that only their own kind can recognize.

Within their own group, they will naturally have a supreme status and honor, as well as preferential selection rights for their group.

What are preferential selection rights? Of course, it's for any matter related to animal species, such as food, mating, territory, election of tribal leaders, and so on.

It's similar to the "privileged" class in human society, isn't it? Of course, creatures with such "privileges" do not know what their mission is; they only think they are the fittest and were simply born into a good situation.

What happens to the spirits of other animals that cannot match humans?

They automatically go dormant. If no unexpected circumstances occur, most will perish with their original bodies.

What are "unexpected circumstances"? It's about being a backup. Don't rush; I'll explain the role of backups next:

Think about it, what if a creature whose spirit can match a human dies? After all, on Earth, except for a few species like trees and turtles, most creatures have shorter lifespans than humans.

At this time, the "backup" spirit-bearing creature comes into play. The spirit of the deceased creature will automatically seek out a young counterpart as a backup before its time is up. Why young? I don't need to explain that, do I?

Then it will overwrite the originally dormant spirit within the young counterpart to take its place and continue to attach to the living counterpart's body until the spirit of the matching human dies.

Of course, the new host will also "inexplicably" become the "elite" of its group. What is "overwrite"? In reality, it means to destroy.

Conversely, what if the human spirit perishes first? That's easy; the spirit of the corresponding matching creature will perish with its host after the host dies of old age.

Can creatures of different species with matching spirits recognize each other? That's unknown, but I think probably not.

For example: a hungry Spirit Cat catches a Spirit Mouse. To fill its stomach, it will not mercifully let the Spirit Mouse go. This is the survival instinct bestowed upon every creature by the Creator, and it supersedes the matching spirit.

Can plants also match human spirits? That's for sure. I've been emphasizing "creatures," which naturally includes plants.

What's the difference between plant spirits and animal spirits? Plant spirits are connected to the earth, so they can only be still. Their spirits quietly reside in their roots; as long as the roots don't die, the spirits remain.

Moreover, plant spirits are reportedly not in a dormant state; they are all "awake." I don't know if this is true, but judging from the relatively gentle and docile nature of herbivores, it should be true.

However, I'm not encouraging everyone to be vegetarian. Human vegetarians are fundamentally different from herbivores; most of what they eat is cooked food, and cooked plants lose their spirituality.

Of course, I'm not encouraging everyone to eat raw plants; please use your own discretion.

As for whether the spirits of vegetarians are connected to plant spirits, I don't know. Who knows what the Creator, the old god, thinks? Besides, this story isn't about spirit matching.

After all that rambling, what's so special about the fox tribe's "spirit"? Yes, that's the key!
