Chapter 636

The gelatinous tissue failed, but Ang didn't feel any frustration at all; he happily put away the gelatinous tissue and went back to dig in the egg.

However, while digging for new body tissue, Ang's hand kept reaching into the Palace of Breath, bobbing up and down. The Serpent of Misfortune had never been inside the Palace of Breath, so it didn't know what Ang was doing, but Nai Nai Ge Li Si saw what he was doing at a glance.

Hurriedly retreating back to its main body to take a look, sure enough, Ang was dividing the gelatinous tissue into smaller pieces, laying them on the ground, and activating a piece of Death Aura stone.

The Death Aura stone was just a footprint Ang had stepped on a stone; what took effect wasn't this footprint, but the divine power Ang had infused.

With the activation of the Death Aura, these gelatinous tissues grew. Ang sprayed some essence fluid on them, and they slowly grew to the size of a fist.

"Sure enough, you dead skeleton, you want to plant everything. What's the use of planting this thing?" After Nai Nai Ge Li Si retreated, it asked in a low voice.

Ang shook his head; he didn't know what the use was either, but such a magical characteristic must be useful. At the very least, he could just feed it to the Insect God.

"You don't know, yet you still plant it, wasting divine power." Nai Nai Ge Li Si muttered in a low voice and couldn't be bothered to care anymore, because caring was useless. As long as it was something that could be 'planted', Ang had always ignored its opinions.

New tissue was extracted from the snake egg, and the original process was repeated. This time it was much better; perhaps it was because he had extracted the part carrying the bloodline, and a strange snake-like creature gradually took shape.

It had a human-like upper body, with hands and shoulders, and its arms were very thick and long, but its lower body was a long snake tail, curled into a ball.

The Serpent of Misfortune's eyes shone, and it said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, it looks just like this, just like this, exactly as I imagined, just a bit small."

"It'll grow up if it eats more. Where would I get so much essence fluid to make you a big body?"

Nai Nai Ge Li Si said irritably: "Let's get this straight first: this method of cultivation only produces a body, it cannot cultivate a soul, so your child hasn't been resurrected; it just has an extra body. You'll have to find a way to make it gain consciousness yourself."

The Serpent of Misfortune nodded: "I know, consciousness cannot be cultivated; it is the supreme law of the void. Having a body is enough."

Nai Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony were stunned in unison: "The supreme law of the void? Consciousness cannot be cultivated?"

The Serpent of Misfortune nodded: "Yes, don't you know? Oh, I forgot, you are just plane creatures; you can't come into contact with such high-level things as void laws."

Nai Nai Ge Li Si said angrily: "Would you die if you didn't step on us? If you do that again, I'll call Lei Dian over and give it money to scold you every day, believe it or not."

The Serpent of Misfortune gave a start, looked at Nai Nai Ge Li Si, and realized it wasn't joking, so it hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "No, no, how could I mean to step on you? I was just stating a fact: consciousness cannot be cultivated."

Nai Nai Ge Li Si was surprised instead; was Lei Dian that effective? It could even scare the Serpent of Misfortune?

The Serpent of Misfortune smiled bitterly: "Why wouldn't I be afraid? Unless you kill it, in a situation where you can't kill it and can't hide from it, Lei Dian is the most terrifying. It doesn't just scold you; it also disgusts you. It's too unbearable. If I could, I would definitely kill it at the first opportunity."

Nai Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony thought about it and nodded in unison. Indeed, if you couldn't kill it and couldn't hide from it, Lei Dian's power was too great.

Even for Ang, if he couldn't control it, it would definitely take fresh vegetables and stomp them to mush right in front of you, or take grain seeds and chew them in front of you, then spit them on the ground after chewing. It would absolutely be able to drive Ang crazy.

"Kill it at the first opportunity," Nai Nai Ge Li Si said viciously, and everyone reached a consensus.

With Lei Dian as a deterrent, the Serpent of Misfortune finally stopped being so annoying when it spoke, explaining: "Consciousness is the most magical thing in the void. It cannot be cultivated; it can only be generated out of thin air. This is the supreme law; there are no exceptions."

Anthony disagreed: "That's not right, is it? So many undead creatures and holy spirits have consciousness. Many of them are cultivated or produced. If they cannot be cultivated, then how could they have consciousness?"

"Do they all have it?" the Serpent of Misfortune asked.

"Of course."

The Serpent of Misfortune shook its head: "No, no, no, only those with wisdom are called consciousness. Those without wisdom are just the body's instincts. I haven't studied holy spirits, but I've seen many undead creatures in your plane. Most of them have no wisdom and are just acting according to their body's instincts."

Is that so? Everyone looked at each other. If wisdom equals consciousness, then most undead creatures and holy spirits indeed have no consciousness; many are just acting on instinct.

For example, those low-rank holy spirits are mostly silly. If no one commands them, they will desperately jump into the Palace of Breath until they all die out.

As for holy spirits with wisdom, they had only ever seen one, Luna.

"What does supreme law mean? Why would this be a supreme law?" Anthony asked.

The Serpent of Misfortune explained: "The supreme law means the rules that transcend all laws, the supreme rules. Beings like us can mostly modify some laws locally, such as my lord's life acceleration just now, but supreme laws cannot be modified. Even within the scope of life acceleration, the supreme law will not change."

"As for why consciousness cannot be cultivated, I don't know. Anyway, I have never seen anyone cultivate consciousness. For any non-natural creation, the birth of consciousness is very random," the Serpent of Misfortune said.

Nai Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony looked at each other, half-believing. They couldn't tell if the Serpent of Misfortune's words were true or false because they had no knowledge in this area; they didn't even know that consciousness couldn't be cultivated, so naturally, they couldn't discuss it.

It was just like wanting to talk to Ang about planting, to Anthony about human nature, to Nai Nai Ge Li Si about common sense, and to argue with Lei Dian...

Forget it, let's assume it's true for now and refute it later if we find examples or evidence. Now that the body has been cultivated, what should we do? Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Ang still busy, but the cultivated body had already been put aside. What was he busy with?

Leaning in to take a look, a new little snake had already taken shape, but it was much smaller than the first one, about the size of a human infant.

It was chubby and looked more like the big fat snake that was the Serpent of Misfortune's main body.

"How cute, this..." The Serpent of Misfortune fell in love with this cute little fat snake at first sight. It looked hesitantly at the first one; that one wasn't fat enough, and its shoulders and arms were sturdy, making it look very combat-capable, so it wasn't cute.

It thought both were made for it and was hesitating about which one to choose, or whether to have them both, when Ang punched the little fat snake.
