Thousands of oak trees were blooming.
The blooming of oak trees in the Armarica National Nature Park drew curious attention from people.
Some people even used their cell phones to start a live broadcast.
However, with the development of the situation, the news that spread online was also unexpected.
At this moment, not only were the oak trees in Armarica National Nature Park blooming, many changes were occuring to other oak trees around the world as well.
Although some oak trees that were less than ten years old did not bloom or experience a growth spurt, their branches and leaves became significantly lusher.
Tens of thousands of oak trees collectively growing new leaves and blooming instantaneously would definitely attract the attention of officials from all countries.
Fortunately, after a simple examination, the results obtained stated that the genetic structure of the oak tree was normal.
The only abnormality was that all the oak trees experienced an intense bout of photosynthesis when it was near noon.
The acceleration of this metabolism caused the oak trees to change dramatically.
No official explanation was released about the cause of this phenomenon in oak trees around the world.
However, there were many speculations on the Internet, including ones that seemed superstitious.
…
Barna’s Federation Azo Rainforest.
Ji Yu was feeling really strange.
The meditative photosynthesis this time felt vastly different from the previous meditative state when he was absorbing nutrients from the soil.
For the past ten days, Ji Yu has been imagining himself absorbing nutrients from the soil, and then slowly falling into a state similar to sleeping.
This time, although Ji Yu was able to quickly enter a state of meditation for photosynthesis, his mind was no longer in the state of sleeping like it was in the past.
At this moment, his mind was unusually clear.
To put it simply, Ji Yu realized that his mind seemed to have split into two.
Half of it was used to maintain a state of meditation while the other half was used to maintain a certain degree of clarity.
Ji Yu’s current state of mind was like how the right and left brain of a fish functioned which was rather interesting for him.
Although he was unable to sense the state of the outside world, he could sense or feel the countless light dots in his space of consciousness.
It was dark in his sea of thoughts.
And those light spots were like tiny fireflies of different colors.
They were small, but their numbers were considerable.
Ji Yu did not know what these light spots were, but out of curiosity, he tried his best to touch them.
Just as he was about to touch these light spots, his vision suddenly changed.
He saw himself.
In the darkness, he manifested into a gigantic green ball of light.
Just when he had the thought of wanting to touch the light spots, countless threads extended from the surface of the ball.
These threads were like silk.
They were thin, transparent, and agile as they floated everywhere.
Then selectively, the tens of thousands of threads chose the brightest fireflies among the countless specks of light.
In an instant.
Ji Yu entered an ultravision state.
This state was like a giant screen with tens of thousands of screens in front of him.
On this huge screen, countless of scenes were captured by him.
Facing the brunt of the massive information, Ji Yu’s thoughts entered a sage-like state in an instant.
I’m not me.
Without any concept of himself, Ji Yu seemed to have become an information processor of a computer.
However, this state did not last long.
Because Ji Yu’s mind could not endure being in this state for too long nor was he able to regain his sense of self, this state was quickly interrupted by a familiar prompt.
[Characteristic Obtained: Guiding Resonance (Low)] (Guiding the metamorphosis of lower-ranking beings of the same species. Duration is correlated to your own condition.)
It was a very short message.
Ji Yu was stunned. It was obvious that he had yet to recover from his sage state.
After a long time, Ji Yu finally muttered to himself.
“These light spots represent oak trees?”
Ji Yu was shocked, but at the same time, he felt a sense of novelty.
At this moment, the ball of light that represented him in the darkness had already retracted all its threads. The entire ball of light seemed to have dimmed down.
Fortunately, with his naked eye, he could see the ball of light he represented quickly returning to its original appearance.
Of course, the price he had to pay was through the decrease in experience points in the so-called experience ball as seen on Ji Yu’s interface.
From 76.23% to 61.46%.
However, because the experience ball was increasing faster than Ji Yu expected, he did not take it seriously.
After all, the so-called experience ball in the second stage of the guiding mission had reached its current level in just three hours.
This was much faster than he had anticipated.
Ji Yu would be able to finish accumulating the experience points needed within a short time to break through the level one life form.
Right now, it was 12.10pm outside.
Ji Yu who was still in a hazy state of mind did not notice that at all. Instead, he was still enjoying in retrospect the feeling of having an ultravision.
In that state, Ji Yu felt like he had become god, omnipotent and omniscient.
Through the link to each of the oak trees, he could see and hear everything around them.
It was a really good feeling.
His only regret and inadequacy was that when he was in that state, Ji Yu felt that his self-awareness had diminished greatly.
It was also because of this that he felt a little scared.
After all, if I wasn’t me and my emotions were infinitely close to nothingness, how was that any different from dying?
Humans were humans because they had their own mind and desires.
Ji Yu could not accept the perspective that he would no longer be himself in that sage mode.
Fortunately, this situation could be rectified by strengthening oneself.
For example, strengthening his ideomotor response or his strength?
In short, everything had its beginning. With the buffs from ‘Manifesting Everything’, Ji Yu felt that he would eventually be able to control the sage state perfectly.
Ji Yu reached an optimistic conclusion and began to observe the specks of light in his sea of consciousness.
Although these light spots were tiny compared to Ji Yu, there was a difference in size between them.
Due to their close proximity, the half of Ji Yu’s mind which retained its clarity examined it for a long time.
Finally, he found three light spots that were much larger than the others.
If the other light spots were just sesame seeds, these three light spots were already the size of cherries.
With this comparison, Ji Yu had clearly determined the targets for long-term resonance guidance.
However, just as he was rejoicing over his discovery…
The game prompt snapped him back to reality.
[Guiding Mission (Stage 2): The accumulation of experience for the break through of growth limit has reached 100%. Do you want to use the experience ball to break through now?]
[Yes / No]
