"Can't we just ask directly?"
Veronia tilted her head, looking at Feng Yuan with some confusion. After all this guessing, she thought it might be better to just ask the other party what exactly was going on. Although Liao Yu felt that what Veronia said seemed quite right, something seemed off. It was Qi Chen who was somewhat surprised, looking at Veronia and then at Feng Yuan, saying
"That giant tree, does it have its own consciousness...?"
"No, strictly speaking, that thing can't be considered a living being. Although it can possess a certain degree of intelligence, it's not capable of thinking, similar to the bosses in those high-fidelity video games."
Shaking his head, Feng Yuan explained. The Data Domain, not being related to the concept of souls, could not possibly grant real consciousness to an object. That's the domain of the soul, and the Data Domain doesn't have that ability. As for whether this leads to the weakening of the giant tree's combat abilities?
