Chapter 257 Meeting an Old Lover When Going Out, Xiong Beiji

So far, I am just an ordinary little red fox. What I will become in the future... no one can predict. Of course, it won't be what humans think of as a "fox spirit." We cannot become "spirits." Humans have always had biases against foxes, associating us with slyness, cunning, suspicion, and opportunism. They do not hesitate to use any derogatory terms when describing us, which is unfair. I am not here to defend the fox clan, nor am I that great. I am still puzzled as to why I was chosen to be a "spirit fox" until now! What is a "spirit fox"? Well, it is necessary to explain what "spirit" means before the mission begins. This word is very important and will run through the entire story.

Since the birth of human beings, the spirit of each person has been closely related to the spirits of other creatures on Earth. What kind of connection? It's a mutual match. In simpler terms, a complete spirit is divided into two parts, one in the human being and the other in the corresponding creature. This is not based on human preferences. Perhaps the other half of a person's spirit is attached to the body of the cockroach he hates the most.
What's even more miraculous is that the probability of a meeting between a human with a matching spirit and a creature is absolutely zero! This is strange, why wouldn't they allow the two to meet? It's very simple, once they meet, their spirits will merge to create a new species, humans will gain the abilities of the corresponding creature and activate their own hidden genetic code, thus evolving into mutants, also known as the special-function people or superhumans recognized by modern humans; the corresponding creature will also undergo a qualitative leap, but it's impossible to say what it will specifically become. This is a great thing for humans, who wouldn't want to become a superhuman! However, this is just human thinking, it's not what the Creator wants! He established the rules, so the probability is zero. How do I know? That's the purpose of the "spirit fox" existing. What purpose? It's the task we bear. What task? Don't be hasty, listen to me slowly and I'll tell you.
First of all, we need to understand why the Creator would want to prevent such a "good thing." Even though the secret of spiritual fusion and mutation is not known only to the Fox Clan, all living beings on Earth, except for arrogant humans, are actually aware of it. In theory, this is an excellent way for lower beings to escape human "culinary culture" and stand on equal footing. So why wouldn't any creatures be willing to merge with humans? Animal species on Earth do not have writing or historical records. All animals rely on oral traditions passed down from generation to generation as "legends." There is no credible evidence or practical evidence. Regarding such "legends," most only listen and do not "foolishly" seek the truth. Even if some want to verify, they are killed or eaten before they can find their spiritual master. What's even more tragic is that some animals' fur is not spared, becoming the "fashionable" attire of humans... Some classic experiences even became "warnings" conveyed to future generations. However, in the long history of Earth, there have been mentions of individuals with "special abilities," but what happened to the corresponding animals? No legends or records were left behind... This further proves that the benefits of animal-human fusion do not exist.
Just the secret of soul merging, not only the fox clan knows, but the entire Earth's creatures except the arrogant humans. In theory, this is a great way for lower creatures to escape the "dining table culture" of humans and sit on an equal footing with them. Why don't any creatures want to merge with humans? The animal species on Earth have no written records or history. All animals have heard "legends" passed down from generation to generation by their ancestors, without any credible evidence or practice. The biological world is similar to the human world in that respect. Regarding "legends," most of them just listen and won't be "stupid" enough to seek the truth. Even if there are some who want to verify, they are killed or eaten by humans before they find their own soul master. Even more tragic is that some animals' fur is not spared by humans and made into their "fashionable" clothing... Some classic experiences have even become "warning words" for educating future generations. However, in the long history of the Earth, there are also rumors of the existence of "special function" people, but there is no legend or record of the corresponding animals... This further proves that the "benefits" of animals merging with humans do not exist.

Summing up, even if it is true, pragmatic organisms would not joke about their short lives and provide convenience for cruel humans. Therefore, almost all organisms have tacitly reached a consensus: finding a human to "share spirit" with is against the values ​​of all organisms except humans! Don't laugh, we also have values, it's just that humans don't understand.
So, all species on earth are just as they are now: humans are humans, animals are animals, plants are plants, water is water, air is air... In accordance with the laws of the earth, they reproduce, flourish, and cycle in a mundane and unremarkable manner, experiencing the cycle of life and death...
Some readers may question, the total number of living organisms on Earth is much more than human beings. The population of a single ant species is even larger than that of the entire human race. How do we define the matching spirits between living beings and humans? The lifespan and physical mass are different from each other...For example, can the spirit of an elephant and a ladybug both match with a corresponding human being?
First of all, spirit is a formless and tasteless energy substance, not distinguished by the size or mass of matter, and what determines its existence is some kind of law, or rather something that has been designed by the Creator, and we can only accept it passively.
Furthermore, not all creatures' spirits can match with humans, so there is no principle that earth creatures must fulfill the principle of matching with humans. In plain language, it means that the Creator mixes the principle of "true is also false, false is also true" in it. I suppose this is also an invisible barrier that restricts the creatures from verifying this "legend".
Even with "barriers," there must be rules for spiritual matches, right? This is similar to the "survival of the fittest" rule in the animal world, following the principle of "strong selection at the same time." "At the same time": all biological populations born at the same time as humans correspond; "Strong selection": it means selecting the spirit with the strongest energy among all the random-born spirits at the same time. It is said that creatures with this kind of matching "spirit" will leave a certain smell on their bodies that only the same kind can recognize, and they will naturally have the supreme status, glory and priority selection rights in this population. What is priority selection right? Of course, it refers to a series of things related to animal species, such as food, mating, territory, and the election of the same kind of leader. It's similar to the "privilege" class in human society, right? Of course, the creatures with this "privilege" do not know what their mission is, they only think that they are competing for resources and will be reincarnated.
And what about animal spirits that cannot match with humans?

Automatic sleep. In the absence of any unexpected circumstances, most backups will perish with the main body. What are "unexpected circumstances"? That's the spare tire. Don't worry, let's talk about the role of the spare tire next:
Think about it, what should be done when a living organism with a "spirit" dies? After all, on Earth, except for a few species such as trees and tortoises, the lifespan of most organisms is shorter than that of humans. At this time, the "spare tire" with a spiritual living organism comes in handy. The spirit of the deceased organism will automatically seek out a younger member of the same species before it reaches its limit, and take over the position of the dormant spirit inside the younger member's body, until the matching human spirit dies. Of course, the new host will also inexplicably become the "best of the best" in their own group. What does "take over" mean? In reality, it means to annihilate.
On the contrary, what happens if the spirit of a human dies? It's easy - the corresponding spirit of the living being dies with the host.
Can different species of living beings with matching spirits distinguish each other? It's hard to say, but I think they probably can't. For example, if a hungry spirit cat catches a spirit mouse, it won't show mercy and let the spirit mouse go, because it's the survival instinct granted by the Creator to every living being, which is superior to the matching spirit.
Can plants also have spirits that match humans? Sure. I have always emphasized "biological", and nature also includes plants.
What is the difference between plant spirits and animal spirits? Plant spirits are connected to the earth, so they can only remain still, and their spirits reside quietly in their roots. As long as the roots are alive, the spirits are there, and it is said that plant spirits are not in a dormant state, they are all "awake". I don't know if this is true or not, but judging from the relatively gentle and obedient nature of herbivores, it should be plausible. However, I am not encouraging everyone to be vegetarian. There is a fundamental difference between human vegetarians and herbivores. They mostly eat cooked food, and plants lose their spirituality after being cooked. Of course, I am also not encouraging everyone to eat raw plants, please use your discretion.
Is the spirit of a vegetarian connected to the spirit of plants? That's hard to say. Who knows what the Creator was thinking? Plus, this story isn't about matching spirits.

So, after all the long-winded talk, what makes the "spirit" of the fox clan so special? Yes, that's the key!
