Chapter 3273: The Meaning of Meaning
A month passed in the blink of an eye as Rui began building a deeper ’relationship’ with nature. It took immense trial and error with the Eye of Prophecy just to get his foot in the way and learn to begin manipulating nature. The biggest issue that he stumbled into was the fact that, despite abusing the technique for a month, he had only reached the basics.
On a bright morning in the Forest of War, he found himself seated on the ground, meditating in silence around dense vegetation.
Around him, the fabric of heaven and earth rippled as he manipulated them with his breath, activating the Flora Interfacer to commence his communication with nature.
RUMBLE...
Tremors passed through the ground as he exerted his power on the environment, using it to alter the brainwaves emerging from his mind, using heaven as a filter and a converter to alter the signals he sent to be within the range that elves had settled in to manipulate the heavens.
He conveyed his will to nature for the umpteenth time.
Yet, unlike most of his initial failures, his communication was able to achieve the results that he sought.
This time, he didn’t just simply put his desire into his communication, but instead began sending signals that triggered changes in the genome of nature, causing dormant genes to be triggered by the communicative stimulus.
This triggered rapid cell division and rapid cellular relocation, causing old cells of wood to shift in their location, in turn changing the shape of the vegetation that he was communicating with in the way that he desired it.
He could bend wood to his will.
