Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 221 Preparing a Backup Plan

Fang Tian's research revealed that the method of rebirth by borrowing bodies used by the Otsutsuki clan was actually not very sophisticated.

Ultimately, it's simply because the people of this ninja world don't understand the function of the soul and consciousness.

The soul is something that all living things naturally possess. But consciousness is different!

The word "spirit" in "spiritual consciousness" means primate, and only intelligent beings possess such spiritual consciousness.

Consciousness is more important than the soul. To be precise, if a person loses their consciousness, they can almost be called an idiot.

Because even if this person lives on, he will be nothing more than a wild beast.

Of course, if a person doesn't have a soul, they die on the spot.

In fact, Fang Tian already had his own understanding of these aspects. According to Fang Tian's understanding, the soul exists by attaching itself to the body, while consciousness exists by attaching itself to the soul.

The spirit controls the soul, and the soul controls the body.

The Otsutsuki clan's method of rebirth by borrowing another's body utilizes spiritual consciousness.

More precisely, the Otsutsuki clan's method of rebirth through body transfer utilizes the soul, spiritual consciousness, and their own physical body as triple safeguards to ensure a high success rate.

After research, Fang Tian discovered that the Otsutsuki clan's method of rebirth through possession was actually very simple. It involved using their own spiritual consciousness to control their soul, carrying their most healthy cells, and transferring them into a body they preferred.

Then, the spirit that had been implanted into another person's body completely annihilated the original spirit of that body after it entered the new body.

After eliminating the original spiritual consciousness, the Otsutsuki clan directly occupied the body's sea of ​​consciousness and began to fully control the body.

At the same time, the most healthy cells carried by the Otsutsuki's spiritual consciousness began to draw energy from the original physical body for its own growth.

The growth mentioned here refers to the fact that these healthy cells, with the participation of spiritual consciousness, draw energy from the original physical body and decompose to develop into more cells.

These cells will continue to increase in number, gradually replacing the body's original tissues, and eventually replacing the original person.

Finally, the soul and consciousness of the Otsutsuki merged with the physical body formed from its most healthy cells and became one.

Since the body is developed from one's own cells, it will naturally be perfectly in harmony with one's own soul.

And just like that, the Ōtsutsuki who had been killed returned.

To be honest, this kind of rebirth method is just a way to bully the natives who are still struggling inside the planet.

If facing a god of equal power, there is virtually no chance of the soul escaping. Upon death, the enemy will simply shatter the soul.

This was even easier for Fang Tian, ​​because his God-Slaying Flying Knife was specifically designed to deal with things like souls and spirits.

Even if this Ōtsutsuki has already possessed the target's body, Fang Tian still has a way. Because the God-Slaying Flying Knife can directly enter the sea of ​​consciousness and suppress the enemy's soul within it.

That's why the big wooden stick-wielder who was originally captured by Fang Tian was so afraid of Fang Tian after witnessing the God-Slaying Flying Knife.

Because Fang Tian could destroy them at any time.

However, inspired by the Otsutsuki clan, Fang Tian came up with a way to increase his own strength—blood rebirth.

Fang Tian would naturally not choose such an inefficient and dangerous method as the Otsutsuki clan.

Fang Tian selected a drop of his own heart's blood, infused it with a large amount of life force, and then placed it in a jade box to preserve its vitality.

Then, set up a formation around the jade box, derived from the operating principles of the divine tree, to provide energy for the blood regeneration.

He then set up a small teleportation array between himself and the jade box. This array was a one-time use array, and it was constantly filled with energy and always ready to be activated.

This teleportation array, which can be activated at any time by one's own consciousness, is used to transfer one's own soul and consciousness.

If Fang Tian were to be killed someday in the future, this small teleportation array would come in handy.

As long as it's not a killing blow that destroys the soul's consciousness, Fang Tian can instantly activate the teleportation array to transfer his own soul consciousness to this pre-prepared location.

They can be reborn by utilizing their own essence, blood, immense vitality, and the energy provided by the energy conversion array.

This is much safer and faster than the Otsutsuki clan's method of rebirth by borrowing another's body.

Since Fang Tian had come up with this method, he naturally wouldn't just make an insurance policy for himself. Instead, he prepared one for both A Yin and Qiu Fengyan.

Fang Tian had prepared three hidden underground caves, placing the three men's backup plans in each one. Then he built an even larger secret chamber above them.

There were some things placed in this secret room. These things weren't anything special to Fang Tian, ​​but for anyone below the god level, they were an immense fortune.

Fang Tian placed these things to conceal his own backup plan.

In case some incredibly lucky guy finds this place, the shock he experiences upon seeing these things should be enough to conceal his true backup plan.

Moreover, Fang Tian also set up a hidden formation based on the structure of his own small world.

This formation is extremely well-hidden; it can form its own small space within the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

Without exceptional spatial awareness, there's no way you could discover this place.

This place can be said to be truly hidden in the vast world.

Furthermore, in order to cover up the traces, Fang Tian also arranged a self-destruct device in the secret room that served as a cover.

If the contents are removed, the self-destruct mechanism will activate, and the surrounding area will be transformed into a poisonous wasteland.

This toxin was obtained by Fang Tian unintentionally while exploring the starry universe. It is a toxin that can corrode both the body and the soul simultaneously. Moreover, it takes an extremely short time to form, making it an extremely vicious poison.

If it weren't for Fang Tian's strong vitality, which neutralized the toxicity of the poison with his massive life force, he would have been poisoned to death on the spot.

With this toxin, capable of killing even a god-king, as insurance, no one would risk being poisoned to dig into the self-destructed secret chamber, something that could at most help a god-level expert.

With these preparations in place, this place should remain quite safe for the time being. Moreover, it's an exceptionally secluded location, so Fang Tian feels relatively secure having a backup plan here.

Having prepared all these things, Fang Tian and his companions were now ready. They then set off deeper into the area of ​​the divine tree.

Along the way, the three encountered many inhabited planets. Each time they encountered an inhabited planet, Fang Tian and his companions would enter it to comprehend the laws of nature of that place.

Every place with life is a miracle of the universe. The laws of nature in such places can form a small cycle on their own, compared to other places.

The laws governing life in such places are quite unique!
