This went without saying!
It was the Chaos Gourd Vine now, and it had been the Primordial Gourd Vine before.
But here was the question! Would a supreme-grade innate spiritual root like the Primordial Gourd Vine really split itself into four and give birth to four Top-Tier Innate Divines?
The answer was beyond doubt!
No!
Even if a supreme-grade innate spiritual root like this, which faintly surpassed the level of a Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, developed sentience, it would produce only one consciousness, not four.
If so, his relationship with Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling as brothers born of the same root and origin would be open to question.
Were they truly brothers of the same root and origin, rather than originally one person, like a true self and his three corpse Dao bodies?
Thus, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling were his Three-Selves Dao Bodies, not his brothers of the same origin! This truth would inevitably be exposed before Nuwa.
Unless he could accept a decline in the cultivation speed of himself, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling, and go back on his word by refusing to become Dao Companions with Nuwa!
But how could that possibly happen?
He would never accept either a decline in cultivation speed or giving up on becoming Dao Companions with Nuwa!
Besides, he had been the one to pursue Nuwa and promise to become Dao Companions with her. If he reneged, she would certainly turn against him.
Since the truth would inevitably come out in the future, Yuan Yan naturally had no desire to keep cultivating in his Innate Dao Body form just to prevent its exposure, hindering his own cultivation.
Naturally, he wanted to reveal it himself rather than have it exposed. There was a vast difference!
