Although Feng Yuan and the others formed a team directly, the others didn't have much opinion on it. After all, they were not familiar with Feng Yuan, and he actually didn't need to stick together with them. The reason for bringing them together was solely because Feng Yuan didn't want to break the game rules.
Otherwise, with the two Divine Beasts by Feng Yuan's side, they wouldn't necessarily need so many people to break through the mechanism. Even if there weren't enough people temporarily, Divine Beasts have the ability to create clones. It's just that they rarely use them in general circumstances.
Controlling multiple clones simultaneously does not enhance combat power; in fact, the strength of the clones only equals the total strength of the Divine Beasts when combined.
In such a situation, clones hold almost no value for Divine Beasts, even for gathering information. If the Divine Beast itself would be harmed, the clones would be even less useful.
