"I woke up from the distant darkness, and what greeted me was a world full of vitality - and eternal loneliness..."
The towering tree-man Noridal-the Awakening Wind, as tall as a mountain, tells its story.
It's been a long time since I met anyone I could talk to.
This tree man, who has lived for who knows how many years, seems to be a bit talkative.
It chattered, interweaving the microcosm of thousands of years of history of this land.
It had been with orcs, and had a period of unfriendly time with elves.
There have been bloody killings, and there have been lonely walks...
"Sometimes, when you haven't fallen asleep, the world is peaceful, and the birds and beasts are running around and jumping for joy..."
"Some naughty little guys will hide some nuts or something on my body."
Noridal - Awakening Wind said slowly to the Moon Owl on his body.
There was no telling whether it was nostalgia or some other emotion in its voice.
For a tree-man who has lived for an unknown number of years, will all this be as full of enthusiasm and hope as humans?
"And when you wake up from your deep sleep - oh, it's the howling frost, which takes everything away, leaving only the cold white..."
Noridal - Awakening Wind slowly raised its head, its broad, abstract face vaguely revealing some complicated emotions.
"After all, the emotions of tree people are not as passionate as those of humans, but I think now, I am more like a human..."
Noridal-The Awakening Wind took the Moon Owl deep into the forest.
In front of it, the trees become silky like butter separated by a hob.
The forest seems to have really become a blue wave, and the tree people are like ships traveling through it.
This is somewhat similar to Yi Chun's forest walking. Maybe the druid gained inspiration from the tree man's natural instinct.
"Gu..."
Moon Owl responded from time to time.
Compared with beasts, the intelligent form of tree people is easier to communicate with.
Not long after, amid the nagging words of Noridal, the Awakening Wind, it brought Yi Chun to a lake.
Yi Chun was not sure whether this was the center of the entire forest.
However, after carefully examining some traces on the edge of the lake.
Yi Chun felt that he probably knew where this place was.
He could imagine that in a distant time unknown how many years ago, a towering tree once grew here.
Later, for some unknown reason, it suddenly came to life.
It pulled out its roots from the earth and gained the ability to walk on the earth.
And where it once was deeply stationed, it left a huge hole that is difficult to make up.
Day after day, year after year, accumulated rainwater or water emerging from underground undercurrents turns this place into a lake.
"This is where I grew up..."
"I woke up from here and got a new life."
Noridal - Awakening Wind stared at the lake in front of him and said dullly.
"Now, I think it's time to wake up my sleeping kin."
"They call me a tree person, but I think they see me more as a big tree with human characteristics, rather than a human with a tree-like body..."
"I think I need your help - nature's ally..."
Noridal - The Awakening Wind placed Yi Chun in front of him and said this...
…………

It is not that difficult for a druid to briefly activate a tree man.
But permanently summoning a tree man is not that simple.
Fortunately, with the help of Noridal - the power of the Awakening Wind, the difficulty of activation has been greatly reduced.
Yi Chun looked at the towering tree in front of him. He estimated that this tree was at least hundreds of years old.
Judging from the natural power contained in the opponent's body, it should not be a fast-growing tree species.
"I once fought a demon lord. I defeated it and drove it back into the abyss."
"But it also left a lasting mark on me. Even now, the burning heat in my soul has not been completely extinguished..."
"I didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a weak counterattack by the devil."
"Now it seems that I should have given it a heavy blow..."
"Those scorching darkness made me fail in my subsequent attempts to awaken my fellow species - the pollution of the abyss was more serious than I imagined..."
"The same race that I awakened became violent and evil. They lost the purest things in nature..."
In Yi Chun's ears, the whisper of Noridal - the Awakening Wind was still echoing.
Wild copies do not necessarily focus on fighting with strength.
Just like for Yi Chun at this moment, he does not need to pay attention to the grudges and grudges between tree people and humans.
Just complete the tree summoning as much as possible within 10 natural days.
but……
The rewards given by the crazy prefix are too many...
Noridal - The Awakening Wind has completed most of the work. What Yi Chun has to do is to awaken the soul of the tree man.
In principle, this is the most difficult.
In actual operation, it is not that troublesome.
Just like the mystery of the birth of life, nature is infinite.
But there is no need to go into details about the instinctive reproduction of life...
After sensing the life state of the big tree in front of him, Yi Chun tried to awaken it with his own will...
Nature is stretching, everything is silent...
The sounds of birds and animals instantly became distant and faint.
In an instant, the light retreated, and a chaotic and fuzzy world appeared in Yi Chun's perception...
That is the "vision" that belongs to a tree.
Even among many creatures, even among intelligent life, not every life can have a nervous system as developed and sophisticated as human beings.
For plants, everything moves in an orderly manner in a hazy and slow way.
Therefore, just as Yi Chun had thought before, he felt the "joy" about plants.
Perhaps it is not necessarily the plant itself, but a spiritual derivation based on his understanding and attitude towards all things.
Whether a plant can have emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy seems to be a philosophical question...
In this confused state, Yi Chun's thinking seemed to be affected to some extent.
However, when two unequal consciousnesses complete the communication.
Having a superior higher-level consciousness will undoubtedly have a more profound impact on the lower-level consciousness.
Just like the influence of a son on his father, the lower consciousness will gradually develop towards the form of higher consciousness.
This change is wonderful, and the sanctity and elegance it presents in the realm of life is no less than that of an embryo gradually condensing into new life.
Like a sudden blink of an eye, the complete egg burst open, and a light yellow chick appeared unexpectedly.
And in Yi Chun's perception, a new soul full of wisdom appeared!
Perhaps influenced by Yi Chun's consciousness, it is not a blank canvas.
Rather, there remain some emotions that belong to human consciousness.
Joy, anger, greed...
From then on, it was no longer a pure and cold tree in nature.
It has its own desires, it longs for light and prosperity...
"You successfully awakened a tree man. Current progress: 1/10."
"Please note that your act of awakening the tree people was perceived by the human prophet Amat Xize, and your relationship with the human kingdom has been reduced to: hostile!"
There seemed to be information refreshing on the retina, but Yi Chun didn't pay too much attention.
At this time, Yi Chun, who had returned to his own field of vision, looked at the big tree in front of him.
It was trembling slowly, the prototype of a human face knotted on its torso.
New life, creation from now on...
