It was obvious that this Mr. Bear was more human-like than the Great Druid. Both of them lived in the forest and practiced druid metaphysics, but the feeling they gave off was completely different. One was originally human, but he was becoming less and less like a human; the other was not human, but he was becoming more and more like a human. Such a difference was worth pondering.
Of course, Mr. Bear was mysterious, powerful, and friendly. It would never speak dirty words like the teddy bears on Earth, even if they were very similar. Mr. Bear kindly explained, "This is the Power of Nature."
"Is this an alternative way of using your Territory?" Baiyi asked curiously. To be able to do something like this without emitting any energy, Baiyi could only think of a Territory. Only a Territory could do this.
Mr. Bear's beady eyes widened as it scrutinized Baiyi from head to toe. It seemed to be surprised by the question. Perhaps it was because Baiyi's energy was not that powerful, or at least, he should not have reached the level of a Territory. Therefore, Mr. Bear's question was out of its expectations.
However, it did not remain silent for too long. After a while, it carefully considered its words and said, "If you use your human theories, you could say that."
"But …" Baiyi studied Mr. Bear carefully. He did not doubt the bear's strength, but he could not sense any energy fluctuations from its body. If it had not shown its power, it would have been no different from a moving teddy bear plushie. So, how did it manage to reach the level of a Territory?
"Child, don't try to judge me with your human theories. I've said it before. This is the Power of Nature, and it is very different from what you know," Mr. Bear explained patiently. Mr. Bear continued to explain patiently. It waved its round paw and used its formless strength to pick up the nut in its hand. Then, it continued to explain.
"In order for a tree to survive and expand its population, it must spread its seeds." Mr. Bear waved the nut in its hand. "When the nut falls to the ground, it will sprout and grow into a new tree. And I, in order to fill my stomach, have to harvest these fruits."
"This is a very natural thing, a very natural thing. Just like now, a friend who I haven't seen for a long time has come. It's also very natural for me to take them out and share my gains." Mr. Bear returned the nut to Baiyi's hand. "This is the Way of Nature, and this is the power of nature that I draw upon."
Baiyi, who was listening at the side, was confused. The druid system was too obscure and difficult to understand! He had always thought that he was talented, and that he had learned a lot of things. However, when it came to such metaphysical things, he seemed to be very stupid. He had no comprehension ability at all. That was why the Eighth Walker had given him such a precious treasure, the Heart of Nature, and he had no idea how to use it.
Perhaps it was because of the encounter with the big druid that he had with him that he had more metaphysical thoughts, so he forced himself to open his mouth and ask, "If a domain is a change in the rules, then what you are doing is some kind of application? But that didn't seem right. This kind of thing seemed to have changed the rules, but it didn't? If you changed the rules at will, then you would have … "
As he asked the question, he began to ponder in his mind. He released a surge of pure mana from his palm, and it lifted the nut into the air. It spun slowly in front of him. He studied the nut carefully, as if it contained the fruit of true wisdom.
Mr. Bear did not interrupt Baiyi's train of thought. It waited until Baiyi retracted his mana and let the nut fall back to the ground. Then, the bear asked, "Maybe I'm not here anymore? So, what do you think are the rules? "
"They are the foundation of all things. They are the laws that govern the development and evolution of all things. They don't necessarily exist naturally. Some of them are rewritten by those who can touch the Laws. But if we touch them … "Baiyi replied. This was what he had learned when he came into contact with the Law Fragments in Gouve.
"If they are the foundation of all things, then you and I are also a part of the Laws. We are within them, but we are also outside of them. We are formed by the Laws, and the Laws are formed by us, "Mr. Bear said. As Mr. Bear spoke, it bent down and used its round paw to gently stroke the top of the nut on the ground. The nut automatically burrowed into the soil and quickly sprouted a small sprout from the soil.
"Do you think I've changed it?" Mr. Bear asked with a faint smile.
Baiyi nodded his head, not fully understanding. He felt that his train of thought had been slightly enlightened, so he asked again, "You mean, if the degree of change is not that obvious …" He shut his mouth in the middle of his sentence. How could it be that simple?
Mr. Bear did not answer. Instead, it flashed a human-like smile and said, "Actually, you already have the answer to the rest of the question."
"Nature's Heart?" Baiyi asked.
Mr. Bear nodded. "You already have the answer to your question. What you need to do now is to figure out the rest of the steps. Mr. Tree next door has already given you a hint. Now, go on."
Baiyi's heart skipped a beat. He did not feel like the Great Druid had given him any sort of hint. The blessing that the Great Druid had cast on him had been nothing more than a special light effect, and the color was ominous. Could it be that the Great Druid had given Baiyi a hint by asking him to solve a problem for the Great Druid?
Baiyi fell into deep thought. The mysterious power that Mr. Bear had displayed had piqued his interest. It did not necessarily have to do with martial prowess; it could be another way to further understand the Laws. Now, it seemed that all the answers lay in the mysterious Nature's Heart.
If Mr. Bear was not lying to him, then following the Great Druid's train of thought and solving the Great Druid's problem would be the way to understand the Nature's Heart. Baiyi did not know what the connection between the two was, but he felt that it was necessary to follow the Great Druid's quest.
Baiyi wanted to ask Mr. Bear for its opinion, but when he turned around, he saw that the Great Druid had changed its mysterious demeanor and was now chatting with the Fairy Walker. "How's your life after marriage? Are you having sex? Do you have any babies? Who cooks the meals? Who takes care of the money? What do you do to make a living? All of these questions were trivial and trivial, making the Great Druid look like a resident of the neighborhood committee.
The Fairy Walker did not know how to answer these questions, so she answered half of them with lies and half truths. Instead, she talked about her experiences after she left the Great Druid. Mr. Bear, however, did not seem interested in telling the truth. It nodded and comforted the Fairy Walker. It even fished out a bunch of nuts from its cave and placed them in the Fairy Walker's hands. "Here, here, here. You used to steal my nuts when you were little …"
For some reason, Baiyi did not want to ask any more questions. Instead, he sighed inwardly. 'How is she supposed to eat now?'
Baiyi decided not to ask any more questions. He knew that Mr. Bear would try to persuade him to help the Fairy Walker, so he decided to take it one step at a time.
The three of them chatted for a while longer before the Fairy Walker excused herself with an excuse that she wanted to visit the Mythological Beast couple. She left with a bunch of nuts in her hands. Although Baiyi could not eat them, he did not want to turn down Mr. Bear's kindness, so he decided to take them back with him.
As the two of them strolled along the tree-lined path that led to the Mythological Beast's territory, the Void suddenly reacted. The Eighth Walker had spoken to Baiyi.
Baiyi remembered that he had asked the Eighth Walker about the uneasiness that the Great Druid had mentioned, but he did not expect it to take so long for the Eighth Walker to respond. Was the question that difficult?
The Eighth Walker did not answer Baiyi's question directly. Instead, it said, "Let me out."
'Ugh … Why did you suddenly decide to pursue freedom?' Baiyi thought, puzzled. Then, the Eighth Walker said slowly, "Like her … like that …"
Baiyi turned to the Fairy Walker and said a few words to her.
A few moments later, the Eighth Walker replaced the Fairy Walker and entered the militia armor. The Fairy Walker did not object, and she was not worried that Baiyi would not let her out. The Caudillo Butterfly Bow was not yet in her possession, and she still had many occasions where she would be needed. Thus, the Fairy Walker excitedly ran off to show off her power to the two loser dogs.
The Eighth Walker, who had entered the militia armor, did not move its limbs like the others. It just stood there, motionless, as if its descent had failed.
Just as Baiyi was beginning to wonder if he had made a mistake and the armor reverted back to its normal state, the Eighth Walker finally reacted. It raised its left hand mechanically and extended it toward Baiyi.
"Is something the matter?" Baiyi instinctively extended his hand, and the Eighth Walker grabbed it.
Baiyi felt as if he had been transported to another world.
Baiyi felt as if he had entered an indescribable state. His vision seemed to have disappeared. All he could see was light and darkness, and his hearing seemed to have disappeared as well. However, there seemed to be a faint sound ringing in his head.
What he could feel was a nightmarish palpitation, as if something terrible was about to happen. Aside from this intense uneasiness, there was also a tingling sensation. He felt as if he had regained his skin, and something was poking at it.
Before he could sense anything else, his vision blurred, and he was back to reality. The Eighth Walker had already let go of him, and it was standing still.
"Is this … the world you saw? The world you saw with the Gnosis of Nature? "Baiyi asked after he had calmed himself down.
The Eighth Walker nodded blankly, but it did not speak.
"That feeling …" Baiyi tried to find words to describe what he had seen, but at times like this, words seemed to be lacking.
Just as he was about to say something, a rustling sound came from the bushes behind him. He turned around and saw a majestic, snow-white stallion coming out of the bushes. It was staring at him curiously.
On its head, there was a shining horn. If there was no accident, this should be the legendary Unicorn Mythological Beast, right?
The unicorn looked at Baiyi carefully, as if confirming that he was not hostile. Then, it trotted over to the militia armor and rubbed its face against it affectionately.
'Huh? Did it smell the Fairy Walker's scent? ' Baiyi thought curiously.
At that moment, the Eighth Walker used some unknown method to dispel the secret spell. The militia armor lost the support of its consciousness and fell to the ground. The unicorn's eyes were filled with sorrow, as if it had just witnessed the passing of someone very important to it. It looked very pitiful.
"It's okay, it's okay. She'll be back soon," Baiyi said. He activated the secret spell again, and the Fairy Walker returned to the militia armor.
The Unicorn Horse looked at the armor that had stood up again, and a look of confusion flashed in its eyes. It then moved closer and sniffed the armor's scent, upon which it let out a frightened neigh and raised its front hooves, looking very frightened. It wanted to stomp the armor with its front hooves, but it hesitated, and could only put down its front hooves, looking very embarrassed.
"Heehee! Are you that happy to know that I'm back?" The Fairy Walker looked at the unicorn and said with a smile. Then, she leaped forward and wrapped her arms around the unicorn's neck.
When it looked at the unicorn again, a human-like expression of misery and helplessness appeared on its face. It was as if the end of the world was coming. It was obvious that the sadness and intimacy on the unicorn's face were not directed at the Fairy Walker.
Baiyi could not help but recall the memory fragments that the Fairy Walker had shared with him. One of them was a scene where a group of half-grown Fairies were running behind her with all kinds of simple wooden toys in their hands. Beside them were a few leopards that were only slightly bigger than a baby leopard. At the end of the scene, there was a snow-white pony with a face full of helplessness and a dead fish stuck on its short horn, chasing after the others with all its might.
"Heehee! Long time no see! You've grown so big! " The Fairy Walker hugged the unicorn's neck tightly and rubbed her helmet against its face. "Don't worry, I won't ask you to catch fish for me anymore. You're a mythical beast now, aren't you?"
