Chapter 1177: The Only Choice
"Dead?"
Su Chengyu looked at the white light and for a moment was somewhat unable to recover his senses.
"Yes, you can think of its current state as something similar to the Original Spirit Soul and such."
Su Chengyu blinked and said, "Then, isn’t there a possibility it could reshape its physical body?"
"Unfortunately, at least for now, that’s impossible. Let alone the cost of reshaping a True Dragon Body, having just been born and then died, it simply can’t complete this process on its own. You can tell from its inability to communicate with us through Divine Sense."
It was also because of this that the Heaven-Mending Stone didn’t initially realize what this white light was until Su Chengyu’s earlier probing confirmed that the white light had its own consciousness; only then did the Heaven-Mending Stone realize that it wasn’t that it couldn’t communicate, but that it didn’t know how.
This young dragon, dead at birth, although its soul remained intact, was still like an infant, capable only of life’s most innate reactions.
The actions of running away when sensing danger or being cautious of the Dragon Slayer all stemmed from this.
"What a pity, I thought this Cave Heaven could produce a True Dragon."
"Save it, the cost of reshaping a True Dragon Body is far greater than what you would gain, even if you could ensure its absolute loyalty to you after it revives. Who knows how long it would take to see any return."
Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu completely dismissed the idea and then looked towards the white light saying, "Then this thing is practically useless now."
