Chapter 139: Wah-Red Spirit! "Holy cow, what tremendous favor!" Under the enhancement of the spirit realm’s fire source, the new retainer would directly master fire element authority. Having direct dominion over spirit realm fire elements! It could even forbid spirit realm fire elements from responding to other creatures or command large-scale fire elemental riots if it wanted. It could be said that in the spirit realm, it would be the undisputed Fire Emperor. Then Carlos looked at the content below. "Holy cow! It’s actually resurrection!" Resurrection—such a fascinating word. Whether legendary demigods or ordinary people, many had researched resurrection, even to the point of madness. For example, Raig in Ember City’s shabby tavern. To resurrect his wife, he frantically studied supreme alchemy—human transmutation. But without exception, all had failed. Resurrection’s greatest difficulty lay in the soul. To this day, Psionics still didn’t know where souls ultimately went after death. Some said the spirit realm, some said nothingness, etc. But no one had successfully recalled dissipated souls, so resurrection naturally wouldn’t succeed. What shocked Carlos even more was that the new retainer’s resurrection had absolutely no strings attached! Preserving remains, soul integrity, etc.—none were needed. This gave Carlos some completely new understanding of resurrection. "Maybe those organizations’ research directions for resurrection were all wrong!" Pushing aside distracting thoughts, Carlos kept considering resurrection’s meaning for the new retainer. First, this meant the new retainer would have countless chances to start over. According to materials in Carlos’s memory, the new retainer inheriting everything from the Fire Spirit was currently in juvenile stage. Only by continuously absorbing fire elements could its Fire Spirit Body undergo amazing transformations step by step. Mature stage, complete form, even the supreme ultimate realm. Theoretically, given enough time, it could eventually transform into an ultimate creature, becoming one of the spirit realm’s true overlords. Carlos finally understood why the Fire Spirit’s status was a full tier higher than those terrifying high-level creatures that had chased the Sun Emperor’s Sword. Simply with near-infinite resurrection ability, even with lousy talent, it could grow into an extremely terrifying existence. Let alone having extremely terrifying natural talent. But after the shock, Carlos suddenly realized that while the new retainer had this near-infinite rebirth ability, he seemingly couldn’t take advantage of it. "How much time would resurrection specifically cost? If it takes hundreds of years, that’s no different from being dead." "Even if resurrection time is lightning fast, returning from the spirit realm source ocean to outer spirit realm, then back to the material realm... just thinking about it gives me a headache." After brief consideration, Carlos felt this resurrection ability could be temporarily ignored. After all, he couldn’t possibly have the new retainer actively seek death to test the time costs of these two points. Setting this aside for now, whether the currently powerful Fire Spirit Body or the terrifying enhancement Child of the Spirit Realm could provide when visiting the spirit realm later, both could play huge roles. Carlos was extremely satisfied—his careful planning and conducting the retainer creation ceremony hadn’t been in vain. Cooling down his inner excitement, Carlos’s mind returned to reality. At this time, the new retainer was having a ball entertaining itself. Flames on its left bone claw mimicked a bull-headed demon outline, while flames on its right bone claw mimicked a death mantis outline. The ’monsters’ in both hands were engaged in intense combat, with the new retainer even providing passionate voice acting. "Wah-ka!" "Wah!!" "Wah-ho!" "..." Carlos suspected that if not for the command to stay put right here, the new retainer would have gone wild playing long ago. Therefore, he got a preliminary read on the new retainer’s playful personality. "Understandable—still in juvenile stage." As long as it could complete orders, let it play. What’s more, he’d finished checking it out and didn’t need to restrict the new retainer’s activities anymore. So Carlos said: "Nothing more to do—go play." This command was like music to its ears: "Wah!" The new retainer was thrilled. Its small bone body was full of energy. Then... it began constantly circling around its master. Excited calls continued non-stop, occasionally performing aerial flips. It also curled into a ball, using its short little bone claws to grab its heel, spinning around with whooshing sounds, playing happily. Previously in the spirit realm, it had always circled around the ’radiant sun’ that the Sun Emperor’s Sword had transformed into. Now the ’radiant sun’ was gone, but it had a more intimate master. The new retainer naturally began circling Carlos. High-speed rotating whooshing sounds mixed with excited wah-wah calls continuously filled his ears. Waves of heat blew onto Carlos’s face. Carlos fell silent. So noisy! It must be said, at this moment, he faintly regretted his decision. But having just spoken those words, he couldn’t very well make the new retainer stop. Watching the new retainer constantly flying past before his eyes, Carlos suddenly realized he hadn’t given it a name yet. "What name would be good?" Definitely couldn’t keep calling it Fire Spirit, since the new retainer was a fusion-born new creature. Redrose Fire Spirit? No good—too half-hearted. Carlos felt he couldn’t get past this inner hurdle. Also too long, not fitting Carlos’s no-frills aesthetic. How about shortening it? Taking the first and last characters: Red Spirit? "Red Spirit, Red Spirit—sounds really nice." Carlos murmured it several times and felt it was indeed smooth-sounding. Though he couldn’t say exactly what was good about it, it just sounded nice! "Wah?" The perceptive new retainer sensed its master seemed to be thinking about something related to itself. With a whoosh, it stopped its bone-ball form and stared curiously at Carlos. "Hmm?" Before he could speak, the new retainer had actually sensed it. Carlos was blown away. Was it because of spirit realm creature traits that its perception was unusually sharp? Carlos took the opportunity to voice his plan: "Red Spirit—that will be your name from now on." "Wah?" Such a nice-sounding name! The new retainer was really satisfied with this name, excitedly flying around, its two little short claws constantly making various gestures. "Wah-Red!" "Wah-Spirit!!" "Wah-Red Spirit!!!" Incredibly happy. Seeing Red Spirit’s excited appearance, Carlos felt really good. This was the proper reaction to receiving a new name. Without comparison, there was no harm done. Just from this reaction to the master’s naming, Purple Vortex was already behind Red Spirit by more than a little. The excited new retainer kept calling "wah-Red Spirit" with no sign of stopping. Carlos’s ears were going numb from listening. Wah-Red Spirit! Wah-Red Spirit! Suddenly, he realized: "Red Spirit can talk now?" Originally the new retainer, including the original Fire Spirit, had only made wah-wah calls since showing up. Now it was actually saying the words "Red Spirit."
