Chapter 3194: Perspective on Genora
Rui was hardly surprised by the fact that the Elder Tree, which was so shackled by its need for esoteric substances, did not react well to a world without esoteric substances. It also made him more confident that the Elder Tree would forever remain loyal to the Panama Continent.
It was a tree, after all. It wasn’t going anywhere.
The elves, however, are a breath of fresh air to me, the Elder Tree admitted. I am extremely pleased that human civilization is brokering friendship with these wonderful people. I have already exchanged dialogue with Matriarch Pruschilia after she connected with the greater flora network of the Panama Continent. The Mother of Nature is a truly incredible being with great power and wisdom.
He made it clear that he was very happy with the existence of the elves. Rui made a mental note to make sure that humans treated flora extremely well, lest it give a bad impression of human civilization.
"What is your impression of them?" Rui raised an eyebrow. "How would you evaluate their so-called nature path? How would you evaluate the Mothers of Nature?"
...The nature path is truly something that I never even imagined possible, the Elder Tree replied thoughtfully. To think that an evolutionary descendant species of human civilization would come to evolve such an extraordinary affinity for flora, to the point that they merge with their own trees and become trees themselves. That is unfathomable, and yet it is true. A Mother of Nature is a tree lifeform that surpasses even me.
Rui’s eyes widened with shock. "Surpasses even you? Are you serious? You’re a tree the size of a small country, and you’re telling me that they have flora lifeforms that surpass even you?"
Decisively, the Elder Tree confirmed without any hesitation. I pale in comparison to any of the Mothers of Nature, and they have hundreds of Mothers of Nature across the entire continent. Not only do their flora lifeforms surpass me in scale, intelligence, and power, but I suspect they do not have the same shortcomings and constraints that I do, even if their function differs from mine in many ways. Additionally, the flora biosphere of the Genora Continent is qualitatively superior to the flora of our continent. They are more united and more synergetic, while flora on this continent is more discordant. If I had to describe it...
The Elder Tree paused.
