The fact that their souls remained even after death is enough to show that their minds were not low. After entering the Soul-Guiding Banner, their originally dull souls began to move.
He has even regained some of the expression he had when he was alive.
Looking at the divine beast swaying its head within the banner, Li Xingkong carefully observed it with his Divine Sense.
The soul's integrity was fine, and the material of the Soul-Guiding Banner was also suitable. The dog's soul adapted very quickly, without the slightest discomfort.
After a period of further observation, once the verification is complete and there are no problems with the Soul-Guiding Banner, it can be used on people.
While summoning a spirit is urgent, it can't be rushed. After all, this is the first time I've crafted such a magical artifact. Whatever the reason, I need to verify its functions before using it in actual combat.
Having taken two souls, Li Xingkong returned to the Earthly Capital. His trip was so short that no one in the Earthly Capital noticed he had left.
Collecting souls is only the first step before resurrection; to be resurrected, a physical body is still required.
Li Xingkong could use materials to create a new body, but for these cultivators, such a body would be a completely new one. Not only would their cultivation need to be restarted, but they would also need a long time to adapt to the new body.
If only Divine Land had their remaining body tissues or cells, perhaps they could be cloned and given a new body.
Such things should exist... After all, there aren't any methods of stabbing people or cursing in Divine Land right now, so even if someone gets their hands on your body tissue, it's useless.
However, as for cloning, there's no need to do it ourselves. Divine Land's research on cloning is already quite advanced, so it's best to let them prepare it themselves.
Putting that problem aside for the time being, Li Xingkong probed his Divine Sense into the banner and began interacting with the souls of the two animals.
The bird ignored Li Xingkong's teasing. After regaining its senses, it stood on the dog's head and remained firmly in place no matter how much the dog struggled.
The dog, on the other hand, is different. When it arrives in an unfamiliar place, it instinctively runs around, sniffing and exploring, and even tries to lift its leg to pee.
Unfortunately, the soul doesn't have this function; the dog, who had been lifting its leg for ages, didn't even realize the problem.
Li Xingkong's Divine Sense transformed into a hand, which lifted the dog by its hind legs. The dog, caught, immediately struggled and turned to bite back, but missed its target.
"Stress response is normal..."
"Woof woof woof..."
The dog couldn't bite it no matter what it tried, and started barking.
"Sensory awareness is normal..."
Li Xingkong's actions were not out of boredom to tease him, but rather to conduct relevant tests on these two souls.
"Unfortunately, this dog is too stupid; there's no way to test whether its rationality and logical thinking abilities are normal."
Li Xingkong threw the dog to the ground. Seeing that it couldn't bite, touch, or grab the thugs that were grabbing it, the dog's eyes were fixed on the bird.
"Stupid dog, lie down!"
Li Xingkong didn't say anything, but just as the dog was about to bite him, the bird spoke.
They were speaking in the Divine Land dialect, and their voices were very clear.
"You can talk?"
Li Xingkong looked at the bird.
"You can talk?"
The bird opened its mouth and began to repeat itself?
"It looks like a parrot."
Upon hearing the bird's calls, Li Xingkong felt a sense of familiarity; wasn't this exactly what parrots liked to do?
"It looks like a parrot."
"It looks like a parrot."
The bird started repeating the same phrase over and over.
"It seems this soul's animal instincts are well preserved, and this parrot can even speak human language, so at least it has memories."
Although he couldn't get any concrete information out of them, Li Xingkong could already deduce some things from them.
After studying the two animals in more depth for a while, Li Xingkong finally confirmed that the Soul-Guiding Banner was basically working properly and could be used in actual combat.
Li Xingkong summoned Zhang Yumeng once again and pointed to the Soul-Guiding Banner standing in front of her.
"This is a newly crafted magical artifact. All I need to do is send someone to take him to the previous battlefield. If there are any traces of soul remaining, it will gather them together and begin to restore that person's consciousness."
That's right, Li Xingkong didn't plan to go himself, but instead entrusted the Soul-Guiding Banner to the Divine Land side, letting them do this final errand.
He taught Zhang Yumeng how to use the Soul-Guiding Banner and the related control techniques, and then explained the follow-up matters, such as preparing a physical body, to her.
Zhang Yumeng, beaming with excitement after receiving the magical artifact, skipped and hopped out of the office, clutching the artifact which was taller than her, and dashed off to contact her superiors.
As for who Divine Land would send to Venus to collect the remnant souls, Li Xingkong wasn't particularly concerned.
After all, he had handled the most difficult step, so the rest of the minor issues shouldn't go wrong.
He originally came here to learn about the ins and outs of this great battle, and also to meet these aliens, but he was interrupted by the matter of the Soul-Guiding Banner as soon as he arrived.
Now that this matter has come to an end, Li Xingkong is preparing to continue with the objectives of this operation.
We've learned most of the details of the great battle from Zhang Yumeng; now it's time to go and see these so-called aliens for ourselves.
Before refining the Soul-Guiding Banner, Zhang Yumeng said that Old Tang was currently coordinating matters concerning aliens on Venus. Putting everything else aside, there must be aliens on Venus, and if she wanted to understand them, she would need to make a trip there herself.
Having made his decision, Li Xingkong left his office, asked someone for directions to the Venus teleportation portal, and then flew directly out of the Earthly Capital towards it.
The location of the Venus portal is no secret. With so many people participating in the Venus Showdown and a large flow of people coming and going every day, the portal is naturally impossible to hide.
However, given the current situation, the Venus Showdown is naturally out of the question, and the area around the teleportation portal has already been surrounded by the Inspection Department.
There is currently too much population on Venus.
Although the resurrected aliens couldn't communicate in a language, they weren't stupid and had their own understanding of the current situation.
Although we didn't see the fate of the Star Destroyer, the fact that after its resurrection, we saw these natives cleaning up the battlefield instead of the Snail People's fleet descending upon the planet already speaks volumes.
The Snail People has really messed up this time.
Those who have any sense would definitely choose to surrender. They don't have much loyalty to begin with. If they don't surrender now, are they going to die with those Snail People?
The large-scale surrender of cannon fodder brought many problems to Divine Land.
Although language barriers and communication difficulties are a serious problem, these are minor issues.
The first serious problem facing Divine Land is that all these people need to eat!
