Chapter Fifty: Feiyun Tower, High and Alone
us.And its beacon, naturally, was the plague bell that shattered here.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!"Go." The White Bone Dao Saint spoke in a flat tone. "Do your be...I, for now, am still just an ordinary red fox. Just in a little while, I'll become something…who knows what No one can predict it, of course, and it definitely won't be what humans call a "fox spirit". We can never become "spirits". Humans have always had prejudices against our fox clan - sinister, cunning, suspicious, opportunistic... they lavish us with every derogatory term imaginable. This is unfair. I'm not here to defend the fox clan, nor am I that great. Even now, I'm baffled 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 crucial and will run throughout the entire story.
From the day humans were born, every soul has been intimately connected to the souls of all other creatures on Earth. What kind of connection A matching one. To put it simply, a complete soul is divided into two parts, half in a human and half in a corresponding creature. This isn't based on a person's preferences; perhaps someone's other half is attached to the cockroach they hate the most!
What's even more amazing is that the probability of a human and a matching spirit creature encountering each other is absolutely zero! This raises the question, why not let them meet It's simple: once they meet, the spirits would merge to create new species. Humans would gain the abilities of their corresponding creatures and activate their own hidden genetic codes, thus evolving into mutants, which are essentially what modern humans perceive as people with special abilities or superhumans; meanwhile, the corresponding creatures would also undergo a qualitative leap, though what form they would take remains unknown. This would be a great thing for humanity—who wouldn't want to become a superhuman However, this is just human thought, not the will of the creator! He has set down rules, hence the zero probability. How do I know this That's the significance of the "Spirit Fox" existing. What significance It's naturally the mission we bear. What mission Don't rush, just listen patiently as I explain it slowly.
First of all, we need to figure out why the creator would want to stop this "good thing".
As for the secret of spiritual fusion, it's not just known by the fox clan. In fact, all creatures on Earth, except arrogant humans, know about it. Theoretically, this should be a great way for lower animals to escape the human "dining culture" and stand shoulder to shoulder with them. Why don't any creatures want to fuse with humans Earth's animal species lack written records and historical accounts. All animals rely on stories passed down from generation to generation by their ancestors. There is no reliable evidence or practice. Similar to the human world, most animals just listen to these "legends" without taking them seriously. Even those who want to verify them are often killed or eaten before they find a spiritual master. Even worse, some animals are hunted for their fur and made into "fashionable" clothing by humans...Some classic experiences have even become cautionary tales to educate future generations.However, throughout Earth's long history, there have been rumors of people with "special abilities." But where are the corresponding animals There are no legends or records about them... This further proves that the supposed "benefits" of spiritual fusion between animals and humans simply don't exist.

To sum up, even if it were true, pragmatic creatures wouldn't joke about their short lives to accommodate cruel humans. Therefore, almost all creatures have tacitly reached a consensus: finding someone "compatible" is against the three views of all beings except humans! Don't laugh, we also have three views, just that humans don't understand.
Therefore, all species on Earth remain as they are today: humans are humans, animals are animals, plants are plants, water is water, and air is air... In short, they continue to reproduce, thrive, cycle, and die in the ordinary way, according to the laws of nature on Earth.
Some readers might question, as there are far more living organisms on Earth than humans - even ant colonies exceed the entire human population. How can we define a spirit that matches with humans when life spans and body sizes differ so much For example, can the spirit of an elephant match with a human, or the spirit of a ladybug
First, ling is a kind of intangible and tasteless energy matter. It is not distinguished by the size or mass of matter, but by a certain rule that determines its existence, or it was originally designed by the Creator, and we can only accept it willingly.
Furthermore, not all creatures' spirits can match humans', so there is no need for Earth creatures to meet the principle of matching humans. To put it simply, the creator has mixed in the principle of "true and false, false and true" within this. I estimate that this is also an invisible barrier that restricts creatures from verifying this "legend".
Even with "barriers," spiritual matching must have rules, right It's similar to the "survival of the fittest" law in the animal world, following the principle of "the strongest is chosen at the same time." "At the same time": it corresponds to all biological populations born simultaneously; "the strongest is chosen": it means choosing the spirit with the strongest energy among all the spirits randomly born at the same time. It is said that animals carrying this matched "spirit" will have a certain scent on their bodies, recognizable only by their own kind, and they will naturally have supreme status and honor within their group, as well as the priority of choice in their group. What is priority Of course, it's food, mating, territory, elections for tribal leaders, etc., anything related to animal species. It's similar to the "privileged" class in human society. Of course, these animals with this "privilege" don't know what their mission is, they only think that they are survival of the fittest and reincarnation.
What about the spirits of other animals that cannot match humans
Automatic sleep. If nothing unexpected happens, most will die with their owner. What is an "unexpected situation" That's the role of the backup. Don't worry, we'll talk about the function of the backup next:
You see, what about a creature that can match the "soul" of humans dying After all, on Earth, apart from trees, turtles and a few other species, most creatures have shorter lifespans than humans. That's when "backup" spirit-bearing creatures come in handy. The spirits of deceased creatures automatically seek out younger counterparts of their kind before their time is up. Why young You don't need an explanation, do you Then they cover the dormant spirit within their body, replacing it to continue attaching to the living counterpart until the matched human soul dies. Of course, the new host will also "mysteriously" become a "top performer" in that group. What does "covering" mean It actually means obliterating.
What if, conversely, the human spirit perishes first That's easier to answer: the corresponding spirit would simply await its host's natural death and then disappear along with it.
Can creatures of different races with matching spirits distinguish between each other This is unknown, but I think it probably wouldn't be possible. For example: A hungry spirit cat caught a spirit rat, to satisfy its hunger, it wouldn't kindly let the spirit rat go. This is the instinct for survival that the Creator bestowed upon every creature, it surpasses the matching spirits.
Can plants also match human spirits That's definitely true. I have always emphasized "bio," 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 stay still. Their spirits reside quietly in their roots. As long as the roots don't die, the spirit remains. It is said that plant spirits are not dormant; they are "awake," but whether this is true or not is unknown. However, judging from the relatively gentle and docile nature of herbivores, there may be some truth to it. Of course, I'm not encouraging everyone to become vegetarian. Human vegetarians still have a fundamental difference from herbivores because they mainly eat cooked food, and cooked plants lose their spirituality. Of course, I don't encourage anyone to eat raw plants either, please judge for yourself.
Whether the spirits of vegetarians are connected to plant spirits is unknown. Who knows what the Creator, God himself, thinks Besides, this story isn't about spirit matching.
So, what makes the fox clan's "spirit" so special That's the key!
