Clone

## Description

Clone is one of the 3 innate talents with which all Golden Horned Beasts are born, along with Swallow and Strengthen. Due to the relatively low number of members of the Golden Horned Beast race, the Original Universe provided this life-saving talent. Clone allows the Golden Horned Beast to create up to 3 clones of itself. At the Planetary Level, one can create their first clone. At the Universe Level, one can create their second clone. At the World Master Level, one can create their third and final clone, giving them a total of 4 bodies! Once a Golden Horned Beast breaks through to Immortal, they can no longer create any clones, as their internal world converts into a God Country. As they can only create 3 clones over their life, the decision of what race or bloodline to choose to clone is incredibly important.

Each of the clones is an individual existence that can train themselves. As a result, the first clone created could be considered the most important, as it would increase the cultivation capability of the Golden Horned Beast, helping to build a stronger foundation. Typically, a Golden Horned Beast would choose a very good race or bloodline for their first clone. This is in part because the conditions to create the clone were very low; a strand of hair or a drop of blood would do, as long as it contained a trace of genetic material, it would suffice. Luo Feng, on the other hand, chose to make his first clone an Earthling body, using his corpse.

## Creating the Clone

Creating the clone is not as simple as creating a puppet; to create the clone, the embryo had to go through the internal world of the Golden Horned Beast and be nurtured, step-by-step, until the body is born. Because the beast's internal world cannot house a living creature until the World Master level, the nurturing process is extremely demanding. Additionally, the beast cannot clone a being more than 100 times more powerful than the Golden Horned Beast (so a Life Gene Level of 1,000 or higher). Even producing one at close to the internal world's limit would cause the universe laws to obstruct its progress. As a result, Luo Feng failed to produce a clone of a World Tree as his 3rd clone.

The stronger the internal world, the faster the nurturing process, and the lower the level of the genetic material, the easier the nurturing process. This nurturing process is in no way simple; the genetic makeup of the material is completely duplicated, its body is completely duplicated. This meant that it could take an incredible amount of time to create the clone! When Luo Feng began creating his first clone, as a Stellar Level 1 Golden Horned Beast, recreating a Planetary Level 3 Earthling body, it took over a year, despite the discrepancy in both Life Gene Level and cultivation level! Creating an energy lifeform was simpler than creating a flesh-and-blood lifeform, so the Universe Level 6 Golden Horned Beast only took 3 years and 9 months to create a clone using a Universe Level 2 Mosha Clan member. Due to the optimization of his internal world, Luo Feng's World Master Level 9 Golden Horned Beast body took about 600 years to create his Remote Ocean clone.

When creating the clone, the genetic material is vaporized and the golden fog within the internal world rushes to transform that material into a round golden egg. After being born, the clone could exist in the internal world, as the internal world belonged to it as well as the original body.

## Characteristics of the Clone

The clone will retain the genetic makeup of whatever material was used to create it. This meant that if a Golden Horned Beast created a Mosha Clan clone, for instance, the clone would be an energy lifeform and have an affinity for the Law of Space. This was one of the main benefits of the ability, and why it would choose creatures with different abilities than itself. The clones all share use of the Golden Horned Beast's internal world, and can be swapped instantly from within it to the outside world.

If any of the clones died, reforming the body would be as simple as expending some energy, as long as the core of the Golden Horned Beast was intact. However, this also meant that if the core of the Golden Horned Beast was destroyed, the original body and all of the clones would immediately die. The Golden Horned Beast's core could also be housed by one of the clones, enabling the Golden Horned Beast to battle without fear of death. The clones all retain the same soul core, so Soul Slaves will recognize each clone and the original body as their master; items linked through spiritual energy imprints (such as a Cloud Vine) will be usable by the clones as well as long as they have spiritual energy. However, this also means that if one of the bodies fell victim to soul enslavement, all of the bodies will be enslaved. Additionally, if one of the bodies was killed by a soul attack, all of the bodies would die.

Each of the clones' law comprehension and techniques will be linked as well; for example, if one clone is better at comprehending Law of Water, its comprehension will assist the other bodies' water law comprehension. This also meant that anything one of the bodies saw, all of the bodies would see, although depending on what was being observed, they may see something slightly different (when Luo Feng observed the Nine Universe Tablet, for example, his Mosha Clan body saw the 9 raindrops as blade work infused with space law, but the Golden Horned Beast body saw them as claws, a powerful tail waving, and golden horns).
