"So it's closer to a leftover imprint than an actual resurrection?" Guanming asked.
"A little, yes," Alex said. "When beasts die, they have some spiritual impression left over in their beast core, and I am able to use that to give a semblance of a spirit to the new puppets I create."
"That's… a shame," Tianyan said. "I was hoping for a true resurrection."
"A true resurrection would mean going against the normal flow of life," the Azure Dragon patriarch said. "That can only be a demonic practice, don't you think?"
The other Celestials couldn't argue right away.
Seeing as the conversation had moved on, Alex decided that it was time to leave.
The Azure Dragons gave some thought to what Alex said and didn't follow up on the topic either. They thanked him for what he had helped them with and let him go.
Alex said his goodbyes to the Azure Dragons, mentioning that this would be the last time he would see them for a really long time, as he would soon be leaving this realm.
