The Original's Touch Really Was Better After All

Qi Zixiao has seen quite a few movies. For example, she remembers watching a movie about robots called "I, Robot".

Among them, those robots have three major limitations.

Then, countless branches and minor restrictions emerged from the three major restrictions.

Of course, in the movie, those major restrictions are referred to as the Three Laws.

The First Law states: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

The second law states: A robot must obey the orders given it by humans, and such orders must not contradict the first law.

The Third Law states: A robot must ensure its own survival and safety as far as possible, without compromising the First or Second Law.

These three laws seem very comprehensive and sufficient to ensure that robots will not harm humans, that is, they will not 'devour their masters'.

However, a problem arises.

What if a robot encounters a police officer shooting a robber?

To save or not to save?

Whether to save them or not would violate the first law of nature!

Because rescuing the robbers could potentially harm the police? If you don't rescue them, then you're just standing by and watching people harm each other.

Or, what should you do if you encounter domestic violence?

In a life-or-death battle, saving one means killing the other, which inevitably violates the first law.

This is a bug!

In that movie, due to a similar problem, the robot's Mainframe 'evolved' and became the big boss!

In Qi Zixiao's view, the 'universal restriction templates' passed down by the powerful figures in the Cultivation World are bug-free.

Because I've never heard of any incarnation being disobedient or doing anything wrong.

This is enough to prove the point.

However, one must add one's own limitations on top of these existing ones, which necessitates avoiding any 'logical conflicts'!

However, if a logical conflict arises...

That would be a huge bug!

This could lead to a big problem!

In that instant, Qi Zixiao realized that her way of thinking was becoming more and more like that of modern people on Earth...

But she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, relatively speaking, the theories from Earth are indeed simpler and clearer for solving such 'bugs' and 'logical conflicts'.

"So, what restrictions do I need to add?!"

At this moment, Qi Zixiao thought that she should first list out the restrictions she wanted to add, and then compare them one by one with the general restriction template to find and modify the clauses with logical conflicts.

"Because that guy and I swap clothes every three days, so..."

Qi Zixiao whispered, while simultaneously deciding on the first restriction she wanted to add.

"When that guy controls the main body, as long as it does not harm the main body's interests, the avatar's status is the same as the main body, and it can make any decision on behalf of the main body 100%."

This limitation was a conclusion that Qi Zixiao reached after much deliberation.

Since the main purpose of creating this avatar was to 'keep an eye on' Lin Fan and prevent him from acting recklessly, he definitely needed to grant him sufficient authority!

Under the general template, there will be no problem with the avatar's 'attitude' towards the main body, so authority can be delegated.

Without harming the interests of the original self, whenever the original self is not present, the incarnation becomes the original self!

"This clause is essential; otherwise, with those restrictions in place, even if that guy does something bad, his avatar wouldn't dare to restrict his true self..."

"Doesn't that mean it's completely useless?"

"Besides that, there's one more thing."

Qi Zixiao's gaze was intense. "You must not reveal that I swapped bodies with that guy."

Then, Qi Zixiao's imagination ran wild...

"Don't take off your clothes in front of that guy!"

"That guy must not be allowed to have any intimate interactions with any woman!"

"No..."

"No..."

A full fifty!

All of these restrictions were related to Lin Fan, directly breaking through all thirty-six restrictions she had initially thought of targeting Lin Fan!

After listing everything, Qi Zixiao began to compare it with the general restriction template one by one, find unreasonable items and logical conflicts, and then make corrections and changes.

The search lasted a whole day!

After all... this matter cannot afford any mistakes, otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will definitely be a big deal! It's not something to be taken lightly!

As night fell, Qi Zixiao finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"The restrictions are lifted, Sister A'Wu. Can we start refining now?"

"Certainly!"

Sister A'Wu reappeared. "I will teach you the method of refining Mortal Body. You can proceed step by step according to the method."

"Remember, don't rush things."

"OK!"

After receiving the method for refining Mortal Body taught by Sister A'Wu in his mind, Qi Zixiao was about to begin when he suddenly paused. "Sister A'Wu."

"How many days will this whole process take?"

"Could it be that he suddenly took over when I was halfway through refining it?"

"Won't."

Sister A'Wu replied, "If it were another Avatar, it might take a long time, because most of the materials used have some special power, such as various famous ' Immortal Metal '."

"But once the Mortal Body is successfully refined, it has no power whatsoever, just like an ordinary mortal! Although the materials are more precious, they are also easier to refine..."

"With your current cultivation level, you should be able to succeed within two days."

"That's good."

Qi Zixiao nodded, then took a deep breath and began the refining process.

"Using the Five Colors Divine Light as the vessel for the soul..."

She whispered, took out the Five Colors Divine Light, and five feather fans with different tail feathers floated in the air, radiating extraordinary light.

"The 'restriction conditions' are imprinted on the Immaculate Relic to ensure that it is foolproof, spotless, and will not be defiled by evil practices."

Buzz!

The Immaculate Relic lit up, and all the pre-established restrictions were 'entered' into it.

"The essence refined from a large amount of materials of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth forms a mutually generating force."

"Wood fuels fire, so wood comes first!"

A large amount of wood-attribute materials flew out of the Storage Bag, and then were successively melted by Qi Zixiao with his own Dao Fire, until finally, they became a large mass of essence, floating in mid-air as 'for backup'.

At this moment, Qi Zixiao suddenly had a strange feeling.

"Why is it like cooking on Earth, where you prepare certain ingredients and then store them somewhere for later use?"

"They really do look quite alike."

Amidst the muttering, fire-attribute materials flew out and were also refined.

Next comes earth, metal, water...

When all the materials of the five attributes were ready, Qi Zixiao used her True Essence to control the essence of the five elements and arranged them into a circle in the air in the order of mutual generation of the five elements.

then...

The crucial moment has arrived!

"The next moment is the most crucial."

Sister A'Wu watched from the side and whispered a reminder: "Don't rush things, or you might waste incredibly valuable materials."

"First, using the principle of mutual generation, the five elements are allowed to generate each other continuously, simulating chaos and yin and yang..."

"Then, gradually fuse them together. Only after successful fusion can Mortal Body be refined."

"Good!"

Qi Zixiao solemnly agreed, her mind highly focused. Then, she gently waved her jade hand, drawing a wisp of wood essence and infusing it into the fire essence!

Boom!

Wood makes fire!

That ball of fire-attribute essence immediately began to surge and even start to burn, growing ever stronger!

However, at the same time, the essence of wood is constantly being lost and 'absorbed' by the essence of fire.

"Next, fire generates earth!"

The same procedure applies.

A wisp of fire essence is extracted and continuously injected into the earth essence, as if using a water pipe.

Earth element essence began to increase, but fire element essence did not decrease, because wood element essence was constantly 'selflessly contributing'.

Then, earth produces metal!

Metal generates water!

Water produces wood...

They all follow the same procedure.

In the end, the five elements generate each other, creating an endless cycle of life.

However, the wood attribute undoubtedly suffers the greatest loss, so one cannot immediately begin refining the physical body, as the essence of the five attributes is not balanced.

In this process, it is also necessary to control the 'flow' between the concentrated attributes, so that the five elements can generate each other while waiting as long as possible.

until...

"Now!"

Sister A'Wu spoke up to remind her.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qi Zixiao immediately formed hand seals and chanted incantations. The mutually reinforcing essences of the five elements began to draw closer until... they came into contact with each other and merged!

Then, it began to transform into a human form.

The head and limbs gradually coalesced into shape.

"Go!"

A delicate shout.

The Immaculate Relic rushed into it and occupied the heart area!

Then, her expression became extremely solemn, and she focused all her attention.

"Freeze!!!"

The essence of the five elements has been completely fused, and with the arrival of the final step, it will immediately begin to condense!

"Have you thought this through?!"

Starting from the feet, the essence of the five elements gradually transforms into the 'physical body', but at this moment, the face is still a blur, which is why Sister A'Wu asked this question.

"It would be good if it were the same as my true self."

Qi Zixiao did not hesitate.

In her view, since the original and the avatar can share memories... and even gave her the authority of the original when she was not around, then it's not wrong for her to look exactly like the original, right?

After all, once the memories are clear, what difference is there between the incarnation and the original?

Not to mention that he can reclaim that part of his Divided Soul at any time, so the difference between his true self and his avatar is really not that big.

Buzz!

Several hours later, the form solidified and took shape!

Because it is a 'controllable' form, the avatar is virtually flawless...

A beautiful face identical to the original, a perfect figure, and fair and delicate skin... but at this moment, it has no 'soul'.

Therefore, the incarnation looks somewhat sickly pale.

Moreover... the avatar has no clothes.

Looking at the nearly 'perfect' Mortal Body body that had been successfully refined, even Qi Zixiao, the 'instigator', couldn't help but be a little 'obsessed' at this moment.

Sister A'Wu: "...?"

Seeing Sister A'Wu's bewildered and confused expression out of the corner of her eye, Qi Zixiao was startled and embarrassed. She immediately conjured up a set of clothes for her avatar.
