Inside the Seed World, with Hive AI taking care of the world for him, Wyatt indulged in his curiosity. He explored Dredre's forest with her. He followed her around as she tended to her forest and the wildlife in it. He sure to his soul pupils to record her every movement and action. Especially, when she used her pink pixie dust.
Wyatt was curious as to why Dredre kept using her pixie dust regularly while tending to her forest. To him, her actions looked similar to that of a farmer tending his farm and corps with fertilizers, manure, pesticides, etc. Curious, Wyatt spiritually entered the one with world state and watched the effect of Dredre using her pixie dust on the forest.
Wyatt was not surprised to see what he learned, the small ma.s.s of soul energy in the spiritual plane that represented Dredre's forest in the physical plane was highly unstable and slowly kept collapsing on itself.
However, whenever Dredre used her pixie dust in the physical plane in the affected area, the cl.u.s.ter of soul energy in the spiritual world would immediately become stable for a few hours. To maintain the continued stability of the forest, Dredre had to use her pixie dust at regular intervals.
It suddenly dawned upon Wyatt that the forest created by Dredre was not completely self-sustainable. It was missing an integral part that would keep this stable, something like a dungeon core maybe. Wyatt felt this way because Dredre's actions currently looked like she was serving as the replacement of the dungeon core.
However, to be a hundred percent certain of this Wyatt exited the spiritual 'one with the world state' and asked, "Dredre, is this forest of yours not complete yet? It seems to be highly unstable."
"No, it is complete. The reason it is unstable is because it is still young and also because this void is not actually the most ideal place to grow a forest. It needs a little a.s.sistance, that is all. Once it enters the adult stage, it will become independent," Dredre explained.
Wyatt had hard a time trying to understand what Dredre meant by saying that Forest was still young and would no longer need her a.s.sistance once it reached adulthood. As a human Wyatt was unable to see through the eyes of Pixie so he asked, "Dredre, what are the conditions for the forest to reach adulthood?"
"Well, the birth of the forest spirit can be considered as the forest entering adulthood and when the forest spirit matures the forest can be considered to have entered the adult stage," Dredre thought for a moment and then answered Wyatt to the best of her knowledge.
Shaking his head Wyatt once again asked Dredre, "What is a forest spirit?" Not that he had not heard of forest spirit but he wondered if it meant the same in Dredre's dictionary.
"Well, the forest spirit can be considered as the will of the forest. Its role is basically to do what I am doing right now. That is to tend to itself grow the forest," Dredre had to wreck her brain in order to explain to Wyatt as the general words she used to communicate with her tribe did not seem to be enough to help her convey her meaning to Wyatt.
"Holy f.u.c.k!" Wyatt cussed understanding what Dredre meant by forest spirit, the will of the forest.
Wyatt flew to the sky and looked down at the floating island and the forest on it with shock understanding that what he was witnessing was actually the birth of a flat realm.
Having been introduced to the myriad realms, Wyatt no longer believed that the realm should be round or flat, he has read about enough realms to know that they can be of any shape and size based on the realm's Will. So a realm being flat instead of round was not surprising to Wyatt despite what he had learned in his astrology degree. Right now Wyatt was seeing the birth of one such realm.
What was surprising was that the person responsible for the birth of the flat realm was not aware of what she was doing. She naively believed that she was building a forest on a floating island in the void. But to her credit, the reason she did not know what she was doing was because she never created a forest in a void capable of sustaining like. Every chance she got to create a forest it was on some other realm where whenever Dredre or fellow tribe members created a forest, its will would a.s.similate by that realm's will before it matures.
What Dredre called a forest spirit was actually a world's will in the current setting. When Dredre creates a forest in another realm, its spirit gets a.s.similated by the realm's will, hence turning into the will of the forest instead of the will of a realm. But, right now in the void which was capable of sustaining life, Dredre was able to easily overcome the many problems and create a forest in the void. Which in turn was actually an unborn realm. Once the will of the forest was born, the realm will be born with a will. Once the forest's Will matures the celestial will be grown with a functioning will.
"Dredre, your innate ability can create realms," Wyatt exclaimed in excitement. Earlier Wyatt thought that Dredre's innate ability was similar to the formation of a field dungeon but now Wyatt knew Dredre's innate ability was able to create realms and its effects vary depending on where she uses her ability.
If she uses her ability in other realms, the forest she created will become a sentient forest or a field dungeon of sorts in that realm depending on its Will's nature. But if she were to use her innate ability in the void far from the predatory realm wills, she could use her innate ability to create new Realm realms.
However, considering the nature of the pixies, it was impossible for them to venture out of their territory, let alone go to the void and use their innate abilities to create realms. One had to know the void was no place for life. It was devoid of it as everything about it was meant to kill life. It was a place where only the strongest like demiG.o.ds and demons could venture.
Fortunately for Dredre, she met Wyatt whom she not only trusted enough to retain the Card Emperor realm power despite moving to a location but he also happened to have the seed world, a dimensional sandbox created to sustain life. Where she could use her innate ability to the fullest for the first time in her ageless life.
Eventually, seeing the development of the forest she built Dredre realized what her innate ability was truly capable of, but because of Wyatt's keen eye and curious heart, she learned of it sooner.
"What do you mean?" Dredre asked not knowing what Wyatt meant. Didn't she just tell him that her ability allowed her to create a forest? Did forget already or did not understand her the first time? Dredre was beginning to realize the cultural difference between a human and the pixies was made it difficult to communicate with Wyatt properly.
"..." Seeing the glance with which Dredre asked him, Wyatt felt as if he could hear her inner monolog saying, 'I thought Wyatt was smart.'
'The f.u.c.k,' Wyatt cussed understanding that Dredre was a few more conversations away from openly calling him dumb. Then he proceeded to explain to her about her innate ability based on what he had observed so far, "Dredre, your innate ability when used in void allows you to create realms. The thing you call forest is actually the body of the realm in the physical plane and the thing you call forest spirit is actually the realm's will…"
Wyatt went on to explain how her ability varied based on the location she chose to develop her forest. Dredre was having a hard time accepting what Wyatt was saying.
After all, if Wyatt's friend suddenly popped up and said to him, "If you pee on the Earth you will help grow plants but if pee in outer s.p.a.ce you help will grow planets." Would Wyatt believe him?
Fortunately, Dredre had the patience to listen to Wyatt out of consideration that he was her friend or maybe because she was his exclusive book guide pixie and had no choice but to maintain her professionalism and listen to his bulls.h.i.t with a patient smile.
"Wyatt, I understand what you are saying but I do not think pixies can survive in the void. Even if the said pixie had the devil realm strength, the darkness and loneliness of the Void would get to them even before they were able to use their innate ability to create a forest there.
