Chapter 558 Luo Feng’s choice
At this point, Babata couldn't help but get a little excited again.

He was knowledgeable enough, so he understood better than most people how terrifying the actual value of the golden-horned beast was.

Therefore, he didn't want Luo Feng to miss this opportunity.

After all, even though the talent Luo Feng showed was quite strong, it was still far behind the legendary golden-horned beast, one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the star beasts.

If Luo Feng can successfully seize the body of the golden-horned beast, his future achievements will be limitless.

At the very least, he will definitely not be inferior to Huyan Bo.

If Luo Feng could really achieve that kind of success, Babata would feel satisfied and die without regrets.

Even a calm person like Luo Feng was moved by Babaka's words.

However, he couldn't help but find it hard to accept the thought of abandoning his human body and continuing the rest of his life in the form of a golden-horned beast.

So he said hesitantly: "But if I take over the body of the golden-horned beast, can I still be considered a human being?"

"You...it's already this time, and you're still thinking about this? Is being a human important? Compared to the limitless future, it's just a human shell. What's there to worry about?"

Babata found it a little difficult to understand, and his tone was full of disappointment. He didn't expect Luo Feng to be so obsessed with such a trivial matter in his opinion.

"You have to think clearly, that is a golden-horned giant beast! As long as it reaches adulthood, it can reach the realm master level! Even with your talent, it is definitely not an easy task to cultivate to the realm master level! What's more, the realm master is just the starting point!"

At the end, he even became a little impatient.

It's no wonder he's like this, the cubs of the golden-horned beast are so rare that most people will never encounter one in their lifetime.

Even if some people encounter this, they may already be immortal and powerful. When they reach the realm of immortality, it would probably be difficult for them to give up everything they already have.

Most of the immortal strong ones would still choose to live a stable life rather than taking the risk of taking over another body and starting all over again.

After all, the stakes are too high.

Even if the object of possession is a golden-horned beast, no one can guarantee that one can become immortal.

Immortality is actually an insurmountable hurdle for most special lives.

If one fails to regain immortality after taking over another's body, it would be tantamount to suicide. After all, it is extremely rare to find someone who has the courage to take such a desperate measure.

For someone like Luo Feng, who is only at the planetary level, to be able to encounter a giant golden-horned beast, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a God-given opportunity that only comes once in a generation.

After all, he is only at the planetary level now, and achieving immortality is something that no one can say with absolute certainty.

Although there are some risks in taking over another's body, with the blessing of the Nine-Transformation Golden Body and the cooperation of the secret method inherited from the Meteorite Ink Star, he can have a great chance of succeeding.

Both the risk and the cost can be said to have been reduced to the lowest level.

But now, Luo Feng was actually troubled by a human body, which was really difficult for Babata, an intelligent life form, to understand.

"I was born a human being, and I have lived as a human for nearly twenty years. How can I suddenly become a monster? Anyone would find it very difficult to adapt to this!"

Luo Feng, however, had his own reasons and some other concerns.

"Even if I don't care, what about my family and friends? If I return home in the form of a golden-horned beast, how can they accept it? Even the entire human society will regard me as a public enemy!"

After all, even if he fought to the death, he could not leave the earth, for the survival of all mankind on earth.

If he loses even his human identity, is he still himself?
This is a seemingly insignificant issue, but it is actually extremely important - self-identity.

If even the world view and values ​​that you have always adhered to have collapsed or changed, how can you stay true to your original intention and keep going?
Even though Luo Feng's state of mind has improved to some extent, he is still essentially still a human being.

In fact, let alone him, even if it was Hong and Lei Shen, with their transcendent states of mind, they would probably find it hard to accept if they were suddenly turned into monsters.

"You idiot! Do you think it's that difficult to change your appearance? There are many such secret methods in the universe! Also, don't forget the most powerful ability of the Golden Horned Beast - clones!"

After hearing what Luo Feng said, Babata was so angry that his nose was about to be crooked, and he couldn't help but point at him and yell at him.

"If you really can't let go of your human identity, then you can just collect your own genetic information and use the golden-horned beast's secret method of clone to recreate a body that is exactly the same as the original one."

"Is this possible? Is this what they call a clone?"

Luo Feng then understood the true meaning of the "clone" that Babata had been talking about.

Before this, he thought that a clone was just a few incarnations, but each incarnation was not much different from the original.

After all, in most of the film, television and literary works on Earth, doppelgangers are described in this way.

Only then did he realize that the golden-horned beast's clone was not to split the original body into multiple incarnations, but to use the genetic information of other creatures to create an incarnation that was completely different from the original body.

"What do you think? It is precisely because the golden-horned beast can use the genetic information of other creatures to create a clone that their secret method of 'clone' is so valued!"

Babata looked at him as an idiot and answered as a matter of course.

"The clone created by the golden-horned beast is not just for show, but can even copy the creature's talents and bloodline abilities! For example, if you create an energy life as a clone, then your clone will basically be immune to physical attacks!"

"Even talents and bloodline strength can be replicated? This is too abnormal!"

At this moment, Luo Feng finally realized the awesomeness of the golden-horned beast.

"Otherwise, why is the Golden Horned Beast called one of the twelve top bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts? Do you think it's just because of its devouring ability or its hard scales?"

Babata was speechless, having gradually gotten used to Luo Feng's lack of knowledge about the universe.

"However, I strongly advise you not to waste an opportunity to create a powerful clone and make an Earthling clone... It's not worth it. There are too many races in the universe that are stronger than Earthlings. Even if you want to be a human, you can choose one that looks no different from an Earthling and has a high enough genetic level!"

What he said actually made sense. After all, the golden-horned beast could only create three clones in total, and each one was extremely valuable.

From a genetic perspective alone, creating a human body from Earth as a clone is really not worth it.

However, Luo Feng didn't think so.

As an earthling, he never looked down on his bloodline, and was even proud of it. He also knew that the reason why some ethnic groups had high genetic levels and strong cultivation talents was not that it had been like this since the beginning of the universe.

In fact, many powerful races, including some powerful branches of the human population, have gradually raised their genetic levels to this level through endless years of continuous efforts by generations of ancestors.

After all, the stronger the warrior, the higher the qualifications of the children born will be.

For example, Luo Feng is already at the planetary level. If he marries a planetary-level wife, then it won’t be too difficult for their future children to become so-called war gods.

Just like Li Wei, the son of two high-level war gods, not much older than Luo Feng, but he has already reached the level of a general.

Although from Luo Feng's current perspective, the general level seems to be nothing at all.

However, in the current human society on Earth, the general level still has a very good status.

Because among the ordinary human warriors on Earth, there is probably not even one general among tens of thousands of people.

But the sons of two high-ranking war gods were able to reach this level without much effort.

This is of course due to the fact that his parents devoted all their resources to cultivate him, but the improvement of his innate bloodline cannot be ignored.

Among the human population, there are also races that can reach the domain lord level when they reach adulthood, such as the Manka people mentioned in the original book.

However, the fact that the Manka people possess such powerful talents is also inseparable from the hard work and cultivation of their ancestors from generation to generation.

Luo Feng felt that as long as the human beings on Earth were willing to work hard and had some opportunities, they might have the opportunity to become a prestigious branch of the human race in the future.

Of course, it may take a very long time, perhaps millions or even tens of millions of epochs...

But there is always that possibility.

Of course, in Babata's eyes, this idea is still childish, ridiculous and meaningless.

"But after taking over the body, I should be the golden-horned beast as my main body, right? By that time, the cultivated earthling body can only be regarded as a clone... Babata, is there no better way besides taking over the body?"

Luo Feng didn't want to miss such a great opportunity as the golden-horned beast, but he also didn't want to become a monster from now on.

It would be great if there was a way to have the best of both worlds.

"Possessing someone else's body is the best way!"

Babata didn't hesitate for a second and immediately replied decisively.

However, he saw Luo Feng's inner struggle, and he also understood his character, and knew that he was not the kind of person who could be easily persuaded.

In other words, although Luo Feng usually looks very easy-going, he is actually very opinionated.

Once he makes up his mind about something, it is almost impossible for anyone to change it.

"Alas... If you really don't want to possess someone else's body, there is actually a second best method... However, this method is not as cost-effective as possessing someone else's body when used on a young golden-horned beast."

"What can we do? Say it quickly!"

Luo Feng's troubled face suddenly showed a smile when he heard this, and he quickly asked.

Babata shook his head, sighed and said four words: "Soul slavery."

"Soul enslavement?"

Hearing these four words, Luo Feng's eyes suddenly widened and he quickly thought of something.

"If I remember correctly, you once said that when the teacher was alive, there were nine immortal slaves? At that time, I was confused as to why powerful immortal beings would be willing to be slaves and servants... Now that I think about it, it should be related to this soul slavery you mentioned, right?"

"That's right. Soul slavery is a very common means of control in the universe. To put it simply, it is to use mental power to leave a mark in the soul of the person you want to enslave, so that you can control their life and death with a thought."

Babata nodded and smiled as if to say, "You're finally smart for once."

"Slaves enslaved by the soul will basically never betray their masters. At the same time, they will involuntarily develop a high degree of loyalty to the controller, and may even not care about their own lives for this."

"Another point is that once the master dies, all soul slaves will die at the same time... just like your teacher and his nine immortal slaves."

"However, the death of a soul slave will not have any impact on the controller. Moreover, the risk of soul enslavement is actually much smaller than that of possession."

Luo Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this: "Since the soul slavery method has so many advantages, why do you have to take over the body?"

"You are really stupid if I say you are stupid... No matter how many benefits soul slavery brings, you can't get the talents of the enslaved, right? Even if you have one more powerful soul slave, how much direct help can it bring to your immortality and eternal life?"

Babata's face, which had just recovered a little, suddenly showed a hint of disgust again.

"But if you take over the body of the golden-horned beast, or any other life form with powerful talents, you can replace it and gain all of its talents and abilities! This is the most fatal temptation for any warrior who wants to further improve his strength."

"Oh yes!"

Luo Feng was just feeling a little dizzy from the shock of the matter regarding possession of another's body, so his reaction became a little slow, which was why he asked such a stupid question just now.

"Well... I'll choose soul slavery. Anyway, you've said that my current talent would be considered a genius among the entire human race... The probability of me becoming immortal through cultivation is already quite high."

At this moment, he made a completely different choice from the original book.

However, this is actually the choice Luo Feng will make.

In the original novel, he took over the body of the golden-horned beast because he had no choice but to do so after failing to die together with his enemy, and it was not his original intention from the beginning.

In addition, Luo Feng made this choice not because of blind self-confidence or because he did not listen to others' advice.

He actually has some underlying confidence in his identity as an Earthling...

It was not for any other reason, but just because the teacher Xuan Huang was willing to accept him as a registered disciple. This was enough to prove that the people on Earth were by no means the most mediocre race.

As his strength grows, he understands more and more that Master Xuan Huang's power is unfathomable. He also becomes more aware of the extraordinary nature of the Nine-Revolution Golden Body.
