"Since you've already gained control of the body, why do you still want to take that eye?"
Ye Lianchen asked.
But after he asked, the giant corpse gave no answer for a long time.
Ye Lianchen was not surprised. The corpse before him had only just awakened its intelligence, so its thoughts could hardly work like an ordinary person's. In fact, he had already been astonished to hear it speak that sentence so fluently.
Normally, when a corpse servant like this first developed intelligence, its keeper would intervene directly with their thoughts to control its body. Otherwise, even walking and speaking normally would be a problem, let alone fighting with spells. Only when its intelligence approached that of an ordinary person would the keeper gradually relinquish control.
But this method would also subtly influence the corpse servant's mind, and Ye Lianchen did not like doing such things.
Besides, this giant corpse had extraordinary origins and had long been refined through an ancient Buddha's secret arts. It had devoured a Primordial Spirit as soon as its intelligence emerged, giving it an exceptionally high starting point. With just a little patient guidance, its intelligence could easily develop fully.
Only after a long while did the giant corpse reply,
"Take the eye. Perfect the Drought Demon body. Use it for myself."
Ye Lianchen nodded without expressing agreement or disagreement, then asked,
"How much of your memories from life remain? How much of your magic power from life? And how much of the Mountain Sprite's memories?"
After another long while, the Drought Demon answered,
"Of my past life, not one part in a hundred remains. The Mountain Sprite's memories are like a book waiting to be read. I have all my magic power from life. As for fighting strength,
"this body is stronger."
