After fusing and suppressing the Time Bone Claw, Ye Zan now has one bone claw in each of his hands, and it may be said that his hands are no longer his own. Of course, in fact, due to the suppression of the bone claw and the special form of the bone claw itself, this did not have as much impact on Ye Zan's hands as he imagined.

Although he came out of the laboratory, Ye Zan did not give up the research on the bone claw, but he did not focus on it anymore. The auxiliary chip in his brain has already taken on the task of studying the bone claw at this time, and is doing in-depth research on the divine substances in the bone claw all the time.

Ye Zan came to the outside of the laboratory, originally planning to do other research, but saw a few clones that had been left behind for the future.

Previously, Ye Zan was worried that something would happen to the Fusion Bone Claw, so he deliberately cultivated a few clones, preparing to take them away when there was a serious problem with the physical body. And now, the fusion of the bone claws has been completed, and there is no problem with the physical body, then these clones are naturally of little use.

These clones did not have any self-will, and they were used for the convenience of Ye Zan when he took over. And without will, it means that they are just "it" and not "he", just clones and not clones. Therefore, even if it is destroyed now, there is no ethical problem, it is no different from destroying a few corpses.

However, when he was about to destroy the clones, Ye Zan suddenly thought of another question, or another use for these clones.

You must know that Ye Zan is now a cultivator in the Yuan Shen Realm, and he can split his divine soul and place it on other objects to refine the so-called out-of-body incarnation. However, up to now, Ye Zan has not had an external incarnation, at most he is just a distraction possession, just like the first time he saw Ye Ping.

The incarnation outside the body, to put it bluntly, is a kind of doppelganger, which can be free from the restrictions of distraction, just like another self to share many things. And the strength of the incarnation outside the body, in addition to the amount of power distributed by the deity, is also very important.

In this world, many cultivators who cultivate incarnations outside their bodies basically use magic weapons as the basis for their incarnations. The reason is very simple, most of the magic weapons are much stronger than the physical body, and they often store a certain amount of mana. This means that the out-of-body incarnation that uses magic weapons to cultivate not only has a body that is stronger than the deity, but also does not need the deity to divide too much mana.

Of course, the magic weapon is not the most perfect as the basis for the incarnation outside the body.

The first problem is that such an out-of-body incarnation based on a magic weapon will be very limited in terms of Dao and spells. A magic weapon of the power of water, after being refined into an incarnation outside the body, can still only cast water-type spells. Unless, you can find a magic weapon with all five elements, and the incarnation outside the body that you have refined can have all five elements. However, the magic weapons that have all the five elements are either extremely garbage or extremely rare. Either way, it's not very suitable for an out-of-body incarnation.

The second problem is that the strength limit of the incarnation outside the body will be limited by the quality of the magic weapon. For example, this magic weapon, which serves as the basis for an out-of-body incarnation, is like a bucket for water, and the size of the bucket determines the maximum amount of water it can hold. If it's a big bucket, you can fill it with a little water or fill it with water. However, if you want to fill a small bucket with more water, it is also impossible.

In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence, there is no perfect thing in the world.

In addition, the incarnation outside the body is only one of the methods of doppelganger, and there is also a more famous method of doppelganger, which is called the second elemental god.

At the beginning, Ye Zan went to Tiandao Mountain for the first time and participated in a black prison activity, and also got a lot of benefits from it. In addition to the monarch-level soul bead secretly sent by Linghua Daojun due to the introduction of the large array in advance, he also obtained a general-level soul bead by virtue of his own ability.

That general-level soul bead was actually the most suitable material for cultivating the second primordial god for most cultivators.

Moreover, later in the small world of Asgard, Ye Zan used soul beads to purify the Netherworld Sea of the small world, and even promoted the soul beads to the monarch level. Using monarch-level soul beads as the material of the second elemental god, it can no longer be said that it is inappropriate, but it can be called luxury.

It's just that in order to use the special ability of the soul bead to provide smart chips for the smart products he made, Ye Zan didn't do anything about the second elemental god. In his opinion, the usefulness of the second elemental god, in addition to giving him an extra life, is not too attractive, and it is better to use it to make smart chips.

Speaking of which, I have to say again that there is a very important difference between this external incarnation and the second elemental god.

It can be said that the out-of-body incarnation is one more puppet clone controlled by one's own distraction. If something happens to the deity, no matter how strong the incarnation outside the body is, no matter how safe the place it hides, it will also end up with it. On the other hand, if there is an accident in the external incarnation, the impact on the deity is the loss of a distraction. And the loss of a distraction will also cause a lot of damage to the original deity's primordial spirit.

This is also the reason why, although the cultivation method of incarnation outside the body is not a secret, few people will try it. After all, the bonus in terms of strength that the out-of-body avatar can provide is not enough for everyone to be willing to ignore such a risk.

And the second elemental god, as a kind of doppelganger, seems to have created a doppelganger. However, the connection between this second elemental deity and the Buddha-figure is not a simple master-slave relationship. Although there is also a difference between the two, it is more like an equal and juxtaposed relationship, just like giving the deity an extra brother. Although the two brothers have a close blood relationship, if the eldest brother dies unexpectedly, the younger brother will definitely not be taken to die together.

In other words, if the deity dies unexpectedly, then the second elemental deity will not disappear with the deity like an incarnation outside the body. Moreover, when the deity dies, the second deity actually becomes a new deity in a sense. The reverse is also true, if the second primordial god is killed, it will also have no substantial impact on the deity, at most it will make the deity feel distressed.

Therefore, the cultivation method of this second primordial god can actually be said to be a means of preserving life, which is equivalent to giving people an extra life.

However, as the saying goes, nothing in the world is perfect.

The cultivation of the second primordial god is more difficult than the incarnation outside the body, and it can even be said to be much more dangerous.

Cultivating an incarnation outside the body is to separate a distraction and attach it to an item that is an incarnation, and then it is to cast spells and cultivate. This identity god is constantly cut off from the deity, which is equivalent to cutting a piece from the original god like ripping flesh. Unless the out-of-body incarnation is destroyed by the enemy, the deity can take back the distractions in the out-of-body incarnation at any time.

However, cultivating the second primordial god requires that one's primordial god be truly split into two parts, so as to achieve relative independence in a certain sense. It's like cutting an earthworm in two, and then letting the two earthworms grow into two separate earthworms.

You must know that if a distraction is destroyed, it will cause a heavy blow to the original god, not to mention that the original god is divided into two in this way.

Although cultivating the Second Yuan God is not really as simple and rude as cutting an earthworm, it is still very risky. Moreover, divide the primordial spirit, no matter how clever your means are, but the division is the division, and less is less. As a result, whether it is the Buddha-figure or the second elemental god after the split, the path will be more difficult in the future, and there may even be no future at all.

Therefore, those who choose to cultivate the second elemental god are generally people who know that their future is hopeless, and at the same time, they are extremely desperate for their lives. For this kind of person, there is no future at all anyway, and multiple second primordial gods can have one more life, and this business is still very cost-effective. Moreover, if you are really a person of great luck, you may encounter some chance to make up for this defect.

Facing the clones prepared before, Ye Zan thought of the methods of the avatars outside the body and the second elemental god, and the plan in his heart was obviously very clear, that is, he wanted to get a few clones for himself. However, he neither planned to engage in an external incarnation, nor did he plan to engage in a second elemental god, or he wanted to combine the two in order to get a clone that was more in line with his needs.

This is not Ye Zan's whim, it's not that the people of this world are stupid and can't think of it, it's just that the people of this world don't have such conditions as him. In this world, who can clone his own body like him, and can take away his body without any burden.

Ye Zan did it when he thought of it, although he had planned to study other things before, but now that he thought of cultivating the clone, he immediately changed his original plan. He ordered the AI to send several clones to another laboratory arranged in an ashram in a dormant chamber, and he followed.

When he came to the laboratory, several clones had been placed, and Ye Zan came to the center of the room, and did not start to do it immediately, but first deduced all kinds of them in his mind. After all, even with the advantage of clones, it is not simply a distraction, and there are still many problems to consider.

In particular, what Ye Zan wanted to do was to combine the advantages of the external incarnation and the second elemental god, rather than simply choosing a certain ready-made method.

If you simply use the method of incarnation outside the body, the clone as an incarnation is not comparable to the magic weapon incarnation, not to mention the weakness of the physical body, and it also wastes the advantage of sustainable development. And simply using the method of the second primordial god will damage the original god too much, and there are many risks in it.

Only by learning from the two methods can we get a clone that is not necessarily perfect, but more in line with Ye Zan's needs.

The cultivation method of the external incarnation and the second primordial god is also a well-known thing in this world, and Ye Zan naturally has no shortage here. He sat in the middle of the room, really knowing that the realm was shrouded in several clones, and the auxiliary chip was also divided into half of the computing power, quickly calculating various expected solutions.

After a long time, Ye Zan finally had a detailed plan, and a command was transmitted to the artificial intelligence of the research center, and the hibernation pods of several clones were opened together. Immediately afterwards, Ye Zan pinched the magic trick in his hand, and really knew that a huge figure appeared in the realm, which was the deity Yuan Shen sitting on the Biye Lotus Platform.

With the change of the magic in Ye Zan's hand, the deity Yuan Shen who was sitting on the Biye Lotus Platform suddenly trembled slightly, and an illusory shadow flew out. That illusory shadow has the same appearance as the original deity, but it looks far less solid than the deity primordial god.

This distraction doesn't mean that from the deity of the primordial god, a piece is thrown over like pulling cotton. If you want to be truly distracted, then the part that is divided must have a complete form of primordial spirit. In other words, the deity has the primordial gods, and the distractions are all the same, but they are much weaker in all aspects.

At this time, Ye Zan raised his hand and pointed out towards a clone, and the phantom that was originally floating next to the deity Yuan Shen immediately floated towards the clone. In the blink of an eye, the phantom landed on the clone's body, and slowly sank into the clone's sea of consciousness.

With the entry of the distraction, the body of the clone suddenly changed, and a series of Great Dao runes appeared on the naked body, as if it had been tattooed all over the body. The Great Dao runes flickered continuously, and with the energy that released a mist of light, the clone's flesh was adaptively transformed.

Since this clone was originally cultured with Ye Zan's cells, it was not much different from Ye Zan's physical body. The power of the Great Dao Rune, for the transformation of the clone's body, naturally did not take much time, and it dissipated without a trace in the blink of an eye.

And after the Great Dao rune disappeared, the clone slowly opened its eyes, sat up from the dormant pod, and looked at Ye Zan who was sitting in the center of the room.

At this time, Ye Zan had a strange feeling here, he looked at himself sitting in the center of the room, and he looked at himself sitting in the sleeping cabin.

"It's a little interesting, I didn't have such an obvious sense of division when I was distracted from the robot before, and this doppelganger is really different from ordinary distraction. Ye Zan looked at himself, a little curious, and a little funny.

In fact, it can be said that ordinary distraction from other things is like extending one's five senses. Just like usual, if you pinch your thumb and index finger together, you can feel the skin of your index finger from your thumb and you can feel the skin of your thumb with your index finger.

And now, Ye Zan is not just attaching the distraction to the clone, but the will to separate the distraction into the clone. In this way, it is no longer a normal sense of touching oneself, but like two separate people with strong telepathy. The "I" can be the "me" sitting in the middle of the room, the "me" sitting in the dormant pod, or both at the same time.
