The cost had been enormous, but the gains were worth it!
Of course, if Ren continued using the Sacrificial Spirit Method, he could refine the Heavenly Dipper Will into Sentience. Unfortunately, that would take far too long and demand far too much effort. It hardly seemed worth it!
For now, it was enough that the Heavenly Dipper had a will of its own!
Ren sipped his tea and felt that his Divine Soul had recovered considerably. "My Divine Soul has stabilized and recovered quite a bit. A few more years in seclusion should restore it completely!"
Ruthless nodded. "That's good. Refining a will is enough. Forget about Sentience. In the Primordial World, all spiritual beings may have a chance at Transformation, but some have no hope of it at all—not even a chance to develop a will!"
Chapter 2837: A Special Realm
"I know. If the Primordial World hadn't changed so drastically, with Fiendish Qi veiling Heaven and even covering the Heavenly Dao, making it difficult to oversee the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao would have appeared the instant the Flame Dipper Demon Venerable detonated his Origin. It would have erased him and struck down those who started the battle as well!
"So under the Heavenly Dao, refining the Heavenly Dipper Instinct into the Heavenly Dipper Will would have been impossible. Developing Heavenly Dipper Sentience from that will would have been even more impossible! And even if I could refine its Sentience, I wouldn't. Refining a mere will nearly tore my Divine Soul apart. It couldn't endure going any further!
"If I used the Sacrificial Spirit Method to have countless humans and other beings worship it, I could certainly develop Heavenly Dipper Sentience quickly. But Sentience gained that way would be fiercely independent. It might even escape my control.
