Chapter Eight: A Small Boat Floats on the Azure Sea, The Tid
at the sky; it was still some distance before the moon rose to its zenith.Just then.Knock! Knock! Knock!The constant, clear footsteps echoed in the ears of everyone present.Zhong Xuan's face changed,...I, for now, am still just an ordinary red fox. Just in a short while I will become something... no one can predict what that will be, of course it won't be the "fox spirit" humans think we are. We can't become "spirits." Humans have always had prejudices against our fox clan: insidious, cunning, suspicious, opportunistic… any derogatory term they could think of is lavished upon us without hesitation. This is unfair. I am not here to vindicate the fox clan, nor am I that great. Until now, I still don't understand why I was chosen as the "Spirit Fox"! What is a "Spirit Fox" Well, before the mission begins, it's necessary to make something clear: what "spirit" means. This word is important, and it will run throughout the entire story.

From the day humans were born, every soul has been intimately connected to the souls of all other living things on Earth. What kind of connection A matching one. To put it simply, a complete soul is divided into two parts, half residing in a human and half in a corresponding creature. This isn't based on personal preference; perhaps someone's other half is attached to the cockroach they dislike the most.
What's even more amazing is that the probability of a human and a matching spirit creature meeting is absolutely zero! This begs the question, why not let them meet It's quite simple. Once they meet, the spirits would merge, creating a new species. Humans would then gain the abilities of their corresponding creatures and activate their own hidden genetic code, evolving into mutants – what we know today as people with special abilities or superhumans; the corresponding creatures would also undergo a qualitative leap, but what exactly they'd become remains a mystery. This would be a great thing for humanity, who wouldn't want to become a superhero However, this is just human thinking, not the Creator's! He set the rules, which is why the probability is zero. How do I know That's the significance of the "Spiritual Fox" existing. What significance It's our mission. What mission Don't worry, listen patiently as I explain it to you slowly.
First of all, we need to figure out why the Creator would want to stop this "good thing."

> As for this "secret" of merging spirits, it's not just known to the fox clan; in fact, all life on Earth knows about it except for self-important humans. Logically, this should be a great way for lower beings to escape being on the human "dining table" and stand on equal footing with them. So why don't any creatures want to merge spirits with humans > The animal species on Earth lack written history and records. All animals rely on "legends" passed down through generations by their ancestors. There is no credible evidence or practice to support these legends. Just like the human world, most creatures in the animal kingdom just listen to these stories without taking them seriously. Even if some want to verify them, they are often killed or eaten before finding their spirit masters. Even worse, some animals are hunted for their fur and made into "fashionable" clothing by humans... Some classic experiences have even become cautionary tales for educating future generations.> However, throughout Earth's long history, there have been tales of people with "special abilities." But where are the corresponding animals There is no legend or record of them... This further proves that the "benefits" of spirit merging between animals and humans simply don't exist.
To sum up, even if it were true, practical creatures wouldn't joke about their short lives to accommodate cruel humans. Therefore, almost all creatures tacitly agreed: finding a "soulmate" is not in line with the values of creatures other than humans! Don't laugh, we also have values, humans just don't understand.
Therefore, all species on Earth remain as they are: humans are humans, animals are animals, plants are plants, water is water, and air is air... In short, they perpetuate in a mundane way according to the laws of Earth, endlessly reproducing, existing, and cycling through life, old age, sickness, and death...
Some readers might question how the number of living beings on Earth far exceeds that of humans. A single ant colony alone could be larger than the entire human population. How can we define a spirit that matches with humans when comparing diverse life forms Different species have varying lifespans and sizes... For example, could the spirit of an elephant match with a specific human, or the spirit of a ladybug
First, ling is a kind of intangible and tasteless energy substance. It's not differentiated by the size or mass of matter. What determines its existence is a certain rule, or perhaps it was originally designed by the creator. We can only accept this as it is.
Moreover, not all creatures' spirits can match with humans, so there is no need for Earth creatures to meet the principle of matching with humans. In other words, the creator has mixed in the principle of "true also false, false also true" within it. This is probably also an invisible barrier that restricts creatures from verifying this "legend".
Even with "barriers," spiritual matching should have rules, right It's similar to the "survival of the fittest" law in the animal world, following the principle of "the strongest selection at the same time." "Same Time": Corresponds to all biological populations born simultaneously; "Strongest Selection": means choosing the spirit with the strongest energy from all beings randomly born at the same time. It is said that creatures carrying this matched "spirit" will have a certain scent on their bodies, recognizable only by their own kind, and they will naturally have the highest status, honor, and priority within their group. What is priority Of course, it's food, mating, territory, and any other matter related to the animal species, such as the election of the tribal leader. It's similar to the "privilege" class in human society. Of course, these creatures with "privileges" don't know their mission. They just think they are a result of natural selection and reincarnation.
What about the spirits of other animals that can't match humans
Auto-sleep. In most cases, it will die with its master if nothing unexpected happens. What is an "unexpected situation" That's the role of the backup, don't worry, I'll explain the role of the backup next:
Think about it, how do you deal with a creature that can match a human “spirit” dying After all, on Earth, apart from trees, turtles and a few other species, most creatures have a lifespan shorter than humans. That’s when “backup” spirit-bearing creatures come in handy. Before their time is up, the spirits of the deceased will automatically seek out young members of their own kind as replacements. Why young You don't need an explanation; then they cover the original dormant spirit within its body, replacing it to continue attaching to the living counterpart until the matching human spirit dies. Of course, the new host will also “mysteriously” become a “top performer” in that group. What is “covering” It actually means extermination.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
What if, conversely, the human spirit perishes first That's simpler. The corresponding biological spirit would wait until its host's natural death and then perish as well.
Can creatures of different races with matching spirits distinguish between each other That's unknown. But I think not. For example, a starving spirit cat catches a spirit mouse to satisfy its hunger. It wouldn't be merciful and let the spirit mouse go, because this is the instinct for survival that the Creator has bestowed upon every creature, surpassing even the matching spirits.
Can plants match human spirits That's definitely possible. I always emphasize "bio-organisms," 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, but "awake," whether this is true or not is unknown. But judging from the relatively gentle and docile nature of herbivorous animals, it should be plausible. However, I don't encourage everyone to become vegetarian. There's a fundamental difference between human vegetarians and herbivores. They mainly eat cooked food, and cooked plants lose their spirit. Of course, I don't encourage you to eat raw plants either. Please judge for yourself.
Whether the spirits of vegetarians are connected to plant spirits, who knows What the Creator thinks is a mystery. Besides, this story isn't about spirit matching.
After all that rambling, what makes the fox clan's "ling" so special That's the key!
