[Congratulations for successfully levelling up your Manifestation to Level 2!]
[Due to your diligence in completing the second stage of breakthrough for lifeforms ahead of time, you have obtained a characteristic: Nature’s Affinity (Medium).]
[Characteristic: Nature’s Affinity (Medium)] (In grasslands and forests, your endurance and stamina will be enhanced by a moderate degree. Animals and birds will become good companions to you and you will be able to clearly feel their emotions.)
When Ji Yu was fully awake from the oak tree’s breakthrough state, these words appeared in his eyes.
“This characteristic is really not bad.”
Ji Yu had loved the countryside since he was young, and he adored small animals.
With this characteristic, Ji Yu subconsciously pictured a scene where he was surrounded by animals.
It was a beautiful scene.
Moreover, animals’ fondness for him was secondary. The most important part of this characteristic was that he would have increased endurance in forests.
Although this characteristic didn’t seem useful in a city full of concrete and steel bars, it didn’t hinder the joy Ji Yu felt.
After all, who doesn’t like benefits which they got for free?
Suppressing his joy, Ji Yu did not forget to open the status panel of the oak tree.
[Opening Oak Tree Status]

[Characteristic Obtained (3): State Activation (Low)] (The nature of the solid manifestation has been changed to a small extent. A small portion of roots, branches, and leaves can be manipulated to gain mobility.)
After looking at the oak tree’s data panel, Ji Yu did not know what to say.
This change was really drastic.
His height had actually reached nearly 300 meters?
Wasn’t that too excessive?
During the breakthrough, Ji Yu’s field of vision did not return to reality. Even now, he did not project his vision immediately.
When he had just broken through, he was entirely immersed in a beautiful feeling which felt paradoxical.
Before this, although he knew that his oak tree manifestation was undergoing huge changes, he did not expect the oak tree to have grown to 300 meters within a short time.
Amidst his shock, Ji Yu immediately projected his field of vision to his surroundings.
Under the setting sun.
At this moment, the crown of the oak tree was blooming with countless ocher colored jewel flowers, and many butterflies were intoxicated in it.
There were many birds perched on the branches. They were not intoxicated amongst the stamens like butterflies. Instead, they either stood beside the flowers or had half-lidded eyes as if they were drunk.
At the same time, there were also a large number of birds and insects rushing over from the sky.
However, during the process of flying, many insects became food for the birds.
Under Ji Yu’s stunned observation, the jewel flowers on the oak tree were not as fragile as ordinary flowers.
Even if they were stepped on by birds, they would not have any creases. As long as the birds moved away, these petals would bounce back to their original state.
Even the curious pecking from birds did not cause any damage to the petals.
These petals were as resilient as silicone, but were tougher and more moist-looking.
Even though Ji Yu was mentally prepared, he was still slightly surprised when he saw this magical scene.
Consciousness swirled and his vision turned toward the birds on the tree crown.
Ji Yu was feeling very strange right now because he could actually feel the emotions of these birds.
It was a feeling of joy, tranquility and intoxication.
He could not help but click his tongue when he saw these birds intoxicated by the inexplicable floral fragrance.
“Are these flowers really that nice smelling and magical?”
As the oak tree, Ji Yu could not smell the so-called fragrance himself, which was why he had this question.
All the birds were intoxicated by the floral fragrance and they even got along with the many butterflies.
On the tree crown, there was harmony – no predators or preys.
All of them were merely tenants who had rushed over and got along harmoniously.
Jewel flowers, butterflies, birds, and the three squirrels that had appeared out of nowhere which were watching on curiously.
All of these were considered rare natural wonders.
With his panoramic view, Ji Yu instantly took in the situation around the rainforest.
He discovered that his field of vision had become wider, and he could see even further. He could clearly sense the movements of all organisms within a 500 meter radius.
Beneath the oak tree, tribesmen were kneeling.
They prayed endlessly as they kneeled.
Ji Yu could feel the fanaticism of these people, as well as the fear behind this fanaticism.
However, this bit of fear was understandable. After all, an oak tree suddenly underwent such a huge change. With the complexity of the human heart, it would definitely cause fear.
Moreover, Ji Yu’s growth had destroyed many houses of the tribe.
Alongside the 13 small oak trees on both sides of the gravel path which were crushed.
At this moment, Ji Yu’s trunk was unimaginably thick.
Humans were as tiny as ants as they stood at his tree roots.
With a rough estimation, the base of his oak tree had an insane diameter of 120 meters.
Big enough. Thick enough.
Ji Yu was elated.
However, Ji Yu, who had crushed the 13 oak trees near him, displayed his humanitarian side.
Ji Yu suddenly had an idea when he thought of the ‘State Activation’ characteristic which he had just obtained.
As he fell into deep thoughts, Ji Yu felt for the numerous roots of varying thicknesses in the soil.
Then, Ji Yu moved.
Among the 38 main roots, Ji Yu chose 6 that he could manipulate easily.
Then, the six roots which were no less than 50 meters long extended towards the collapsed oak trees.
And that, naturally caused tremors to run through the ground.
