companion. companion!
After accepting the transformation of Fire, Iron Fist immediately understood why the old enemies of West Wind Valley would rush to beat him up after gaining new knowledge and power, and then hurriedly pull him into the gang. Because the fire is not perfect yet, its growth depends on enough sacrifices. It's just that the sacrifices here don't have to sacrifice their lives, they just have to be transformed by fire.
After accepting the transformation, in addition to leaving a mark on the fire, each transformed elemental creature will also leave a unique message on the fire. This message does not mean that the fire can control the modified elemental creatures, or leave the weaknesses of specific targets, but it becomes the cornerstone of the evolution of the fire.
The evolution here does not refer to the small and exquisite ball that can become flying in the sky or to hatch out some strange creatures, but a kind of accumulation of knowledge. And after accumulating sufficient quantity, a qualitative change is formed by quantitative change.
This is what Orion has always emphasized. The most important thing that fire brings is not power, but knowledge. It is also the reason why these transformed elemental creatures need companions. And the more companions, the better, because this means that the fire accumulates more knowledge and faster, and can come up with better transformation plans.
More importantly, this transformation is not a one-time deal. As long as necessary, with fire, they can transform a second, third, or even countless times. Companions occasionally come up with brilliant transformation plans, which can serve as knowledge for them to evolve themselves again. When there are enough partners to verify the merits of a plan, this record can also be inherited by latecomers to avoid detours.
The most obvious example is the group of people in West Wind Valley who were transformed by animal-shaped elemental creatures. They originally chose animals-like running on all fours as their mode of rapid movement.
Facts have proved that such traveling speed is far slower than that of companions with wheels on the soles of their feet. Therefore, they all became the targets of the first wave of secondary transformation, and some unreasonable designs in body and function were corrected.
What are the fundamental needs of elemental creatures? It’s evolution, about one’s own evolution. Everything that is stagnant is a sin, and there is no such thing as not making progress. Elemental creatures are eager for any power or knowledge that can make them stronger. Therefore, Iron Fist did not hesitate to encourage his companions in Moon Bay to accept the transformation of Fire.
The effect of the iron fist as an example is also appropriate. Except for the elemental creatures in Moon Bay who were really unlucky enough to be directly defeated, all the others, no matter how disabled they were, accepted the transformation of Fire. In the end, including Iron Fist, Moon Bay produced a total of two leader-type ones, 41 ordinary-type ones, and 17 pocket-type 'robots' - this was their own version of the modified elemental creature group. New title.
Although not all of the three original gem men in Moon Bay have become leaders, their overall strength is still significantly higher than that of West Wind Valley. Just in terms of number of people, it was a quarter stronger than West Wind Valley. Moreover, Cyberlon, whom Iron Fist had renamed, had a better brain than Orion, and his mind was much more agile.
After Cyberlon's own transformation, the transformation of his companions in Moon Bay, and the secondary transformation of some robots in West Wind Valley, he keenly realized that the relationship between everyone and Fire is not only to help Fire accumulate knowledge, but also to help Fire to accumulate knowledge. There is a vague connection.
It's like although the elemental creatures have separated from the spirit of Mother Earth and become independent individuals, they are still inextricably linked to the place where they were born and protected by it. When their bodies and spirit cores are completely destroyed, the spirit of Mother Earth will be the place where they return, waiting for the next reincarnation.
However, the transformed robots will be separated from the original group of elemental creatures and will no longer accept the protection of the earth mother's spirit. Although I don’t know where I will go after I die, but...is this a thing?
Except for the elemental creatures with their true names, which will be resurrected under the protection of the Earth Mother's spirit after death, the resurrection of other elemental creatures is like a new life. There will be no other memories in the mind except the inherited knowledge from the spirit of Mother Earth. Since this is the case, then death is no different between elemental creatures and robots.
It’s all death. Does it matter what form you use to die? Even if he still maintains his old form, under the protection of the spirit of Mother Earth, he will eventually be able to have his true name and gain a nearly immortal life. But, how many elemental creatures can go that far? Power that can be grasped in the hands is considered power, otherwise it is just a piece of cake that cannot be eaten.
Most of the robots were unaware of the 'flaw' caused by the fire due to Cyberlon's side effects. But everyone is not completely unaware. It can only be said that there is an unknown pressure, forcing the robots to increase their companions as soon as possible. The intention behind this is to grow the robot race to the point where it can compete with the original elemental creatures.
Perhaps the fire was cultivated to such an extent that it also became a plane weapon. Then, like the spirit of Mother Earth, it is not impossible to enable robots to have the ability to continue their memory after death.
These make Cyberlon even more convinced that mastering fire is definitely a key to the future of robots.
As for ignoring the agreement with the magician after mastering the fire, if you don't know the direction in which the fire will sublimate, you may still be able to make delusions. But after knowing that the fire will become the center of faith for the robots, similar to the Earth Mother Spirit, Cyberon knew that it was impossible to ignore that agreement.
Before each robot is transformed, the magician will emphasize the terms of the transaction and ask if he is willing to comply. Only those who are willing will have the opportunity to accept the transformation of fire. This inquiry did not sign any contract or cast any magic as a witness. It seemed like a verbal agreement, but the use of fire as a medium meant that an oath directed to the soul was made without anyone noticing.
Because the collective will of the Earth Mother Spirit will affect the thoughts of all elemental creatures. If the fire really grows to the same level as the Earth Mother's spirit, will it also affect the robot's thoughts?
If so, then even if someone encouraged the robots to break the agreement with the magician; or at the beginning of the agreement, that is, before accepting the transformation, they only agreed to the magician perfunctorily. In the end, only a small number of people with a more rebellious personality will actually break the agreement, while others will still fulfill it obediently.
This is why, although the magician put forward conditions, he did not mention any mandatory requirements or penalties for violation. Because according to his idea, if the fire can really grow enough to replace the spirit of the Earth Mother, then the original agreement is a soul oath that the robot tribe cannot break.
If the fire cannot grow to such a height, it is estimated that the magician will not be able to do what he wants to do, so it does not matter whether the robots abide by the agreement. Cyberlon would not think that the work of a certain magician would be trivial.
The fire tore apart the tribe of earth elemental creatures. Although the robots and primitive earth elemental creatures are not antagonistic, they are competitors for the same resources. This means that there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence.
And after dedicating the power of an entire plane to conquer the outer lands five times, the opponent's gestures must be of the same level. Otherwise, a certain magician wouldn't need to conquer the entire world as a backer.
Thinking of this, Saibolon could only smile bitterly in his heart. He could not express these inferences. Even if you say it, everyone will still go down this road.
This is a conspiracy, an upright conspiracy. With the knowledge of evolution ahead, no one will choose to go back. He is also included.
