In the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, the definition of "Life" is very broad.
As long as it is an "open system" capable of basic energy metabolism, it can be regarded as one form of life.
Specifically, the concept of "organism" refers to an individual who can respond to external stimuli and possesses reproductive desires and abilities.
From this perspective, Demon Vanquishing Seven is obviously not an organism.
However, the problem now is that although Demon Vanquishing Seven does not have reproduction desires and abilities, the instructions written into its logical base by the Mountain and Sea People have given it an "instinct of motherhood" extremely similar to that of organisms.
"Maternal love" derives from reproductive desires and is a biological protective instinct towards offspring.
Although Demon Vanquishing Seven lacks true "maternal love," it can go to any lengths to protect the "victims" in its instructions.
