According to the initial experiments conducted by the Earthly Capital on the Soul-Guiding Banner, in order to revive the soul within the banner, a suitable body must be found for it.
Given the current situation, using cloning to create a new body for them is undoubtedly the best solution.
The problem is that cloning isn't like in the movies, where you can create a bunch of adult bodies in a matter of minutes and then they can be used as cannon fodder as soon as they open their eyes. That's unrealistic.
In reality, apart from the fact that the initial cells used are from the person themselves, the cloned person still has to grow from an infant.
So, using this method to bring them back to life is essentially letting them relive their lives from infancy to adulthood.
While this method is the most suitable, it's actually quite flawed in today's context.
Many people want to live their lives again, but that doesn't include being a naughty child again.
Moreover, cultivation is prevalent nowadays, and most cultivators' children are born with cultivation abilities. Even if they were to live again, they would probably be just another ordinary person among their peers.
Fortunately, they sacrificed themselves for their country. Even if they were resurrected as children, they would still enjoy the cultivation resources corresponding to their original cultivation level, so starting over wouldn't be a problem.
Besides this method of resurrection, the Earthly Capital has come up with another way.
After being resurrected, they have to start all over again. But what if these cultivators don't want to start over?
The Earthly Capital region found some inspiration from several large formations on Earth Star.
On Earth Star today, several large formations are stacked together, allowing Divine Land to make subtle adjustments to the entire Earth Star from top to bottom.
These adjustments are usually made by cultivators using magical artifacts that control the formations.
Although Earth Star is not very large, if the entire Earth Star is to be subdivided according to the control of the formation, it would still require a lot of cultivators.
Divine Land is still short of manpower.
What's lacking are loyal, reliable, capable cultivators with a certain level of cultivation, so that we can confidently entrust them with the control of the formations in various regions.
The loyalty of these cultivators is beyond question; otherwise, they would not have rushed to the front line of the battlefield without hesitation.
Controlling this formation doesn't necessarily require a living person; a soul can also do it.
However, their souls need to combine with the magical artifacts of the local control array to evolve into a different kind of artifact spirit.
Or to put it another way, in Divine Land, they could be appointed as mountain gods, local deities, or thunder gods and lightning goddesses in a certain region.
Although this proposal originated from the Earthly Capital, it also required the support of Li Xingkong's information; otherwise, the combination of soul and magic weapon alone would have been a problem that required a long discussion.
While the cultivators who went to Venus were still leading their teams back, Divine Land had already presented two resurrection plans.
Once the souls of the cultivators have regained their senses, they can make their own choices.
Li Xingkong was also busy.
After extracting a lot of information from the minds of those Snail People, Tang Cheng couldn't sit still any longer; he needed to report these findings as soon as possible.
Such important reports and discussions take several days to reach any results, so he never returned after taking the documents out.
On the contrary, the Earthly Capital approached Li Xingkong about the matter of combining the soul with the magical artifact.
The idea of Earthly Capital is indeed ingenious, and if this approach can be realized, it would mean the emergence of a new track for Divine Land.
Because of a lack of talent in cultivation, I used to fall behind step by step, making it difficult to catch up with others.
With this method, even if one's cultivation is inadequate, as long as one possesses excellent virtue and makes significant contributions to the Divine Land, there is still a way to achieve immortality through alternative means.
Of course, this kind of immortality is extremely dependent on the support of the state. It requires a harmonious and stable society and the support of an honest and incorruptible government, since they are combined with magical artifacts, and the more frequently the artifacts are used, the more they are worn out.
The maintenance of these magical artifacts can only rely on the support of the Divine Land, which in turn binds these people to the nation on the same warship.
However, the biggest problem with this method is that once bound, the soul's own cultivation will no longer progress.
How can they cultivate if their bodies are gone? Besides, their souls are bound to this magical artifact, so they can't use the methods of ghost cultivation.
Moreover, Li Xingkong hasn't yet revealed his ghost cultivation methods. In Divine Land, the word "ghost" is still considered part of superstition.
But in any case, this method is indeed a path to godhood, only at this stage it only produces minor gods in the mountains and fields.
Li Xingkong was quite supportive of this idea regarding the Earthly Capital.
After all, he was already planning the operation of the Underworld, and it didn't seem unreasonable for Divine Land to start building a supernatural framework similar to the Heavenly Court from the ground up.
Therefore, after learning about this matter, Li Xingkong began to design related magical artifacts.
After constructing the Venus resurrection array, Li Xingkong's understanding of the soul also increased day by day. Rather than saying that the soul was naturally generated, it would be more accurate to say that Li Xingkong also contributed a lot to its birth process.
In terms of familiarity with the soul, no one on the entire Earth Star can compare to Li Xingkong.
Even among the cultivation civilizations recorded in the system, there are very few who can compare with Li Xingkong at the Golden Core realm.
After all, those civilizations had already developed to a very high level, and structures like the Underworld Samsara had been completed long ago. Later cultivators at most knew that such an institution existed in the world, but they didn't have much detailed understanding of the Underworld or even the soul.
Therefore, designing such a magical artifact, which can be combined with the existing grand formations on Earth Star and can also be imbued with a soul, is not a difficult task for Li Xingkong.
The real challenge lies in how to simplify the crafting process of this magical artifact, so that the Divine Land can also acquire the ability to craft such an artifact.
After all, Earth Star is so vast, it's impossible that Divine Land came up with this plan just to deify a few people.
If they choose this path, they will be pioneers in the experiment. If this path succeeds, the process of bestowing deities upon the divine in Divine Land will likely unfold on a large scale.
In Divine Land, many leading figures in various industries are elderly men. Due to their physical limitations, they are destined not to go very far in their cultivation.
Cultivation may not extend their lifespan much, but they will still be indispensable for the future development of Divine Land.
Allowing them to achieve immortality through a divine status is undoubtedly a better approach.
What Divine Land needs are their thinking, research capabilities, and creativity, not military force.
Even if their cultivation stagnates, it won't affect them much; as long as they're alive, that's enough.
