Reincarnation and Amaurot

Yeah i said that about pheonix due to Lahabrea being a good concept maker see Ifrita... so good point on that one...

And now I really need to reread ere our curtain falls for a 3rd or 4th time thank you Rica

The reincarnation bit is why that theory popped up in my head. We dont know completely so its neither confirmed or denied ^_^

I had to go back and read this one, because I missed that line, but you are correct.

This association with Phoenix being created by Lahabrea, which is what Louisoix becomes after interacting with 12 (and those 12 might be 12 Ancients), meanwhile Lahabrea looks on in the flashback echo to the battle of Cartenaeu laughing because he got the 7th calamity off without a hitch. Too much is lining up in this area, like as if our understanding of what transpired there is suspect to a new point of view or reexplanation.

Sentience just means a being that is receptive to perception and feeling. All animals are sentient. Sapience means the capability for deeper comprehension and thought, like human beings. So yes, what I'm saying is we have no evidence the life that was to be sacrificed had human-level intellect.

Sapience has nothing to do with human like intellect though since you seem to be drawing not from the meaning of it being of the human species. You're equating it to wisdom and being wise... remember a human can be an intellectual and have absolutely no wisdom at all or even a child can be wiser than an adult.

To address your point about not being on a level as a human being you are correct we do not know, however we can infer to the life that was on the presundered star. Which Ere our Curtain Falls, shows that there was a human like setting of life prior and, in some of the other languages translating it as mortals, who were, for one Island, at the point of the, ( and this is putting it at the furthest it can be) to the agricultural revolution age and had villages as well as living in a community. I myself can not see Zodiark creating said ameobas and allowing for evolution to take place again naturally. (Especially if we compare it to the time frame of how real life evolution took place on earth).

The use of "wisdom" in the context of sapience isn't sagacity, in the sense of "wise old man passing down knowledge and teachings", but instead the ability for insight, introspection, active judgement, forethought, and comprehension, IE the indicators for intelligence beyond the instinctual, things which are important for human-level intelligence. When people say "sentience" to mean "some thinking and reasoning being of at least equitable level to humans", the actual word for that is sapience.

I don't know about his initial recreation being microscopic life exactly, but we are told directly that their plan was to allow life to propagate naturally on it's own until their was more than enough for them to sacrifice part of it to restore their people. The point I'm making is that we're never given any indication that this life that was meant to propagate was that of the intelligent or human-like variety. If we want to speak in terms of logistics here, the sort of life that would spread the fastest and not take too much from the environment would probably not be humanoid, but instead various kinds of plantlife.
I will say that Zodiark probably did need to create microscopic forms of life in addition to whatever else though, because from what we're told of the nature of the calamity every living thing was dying.
