Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 294

Chapter 292 Nature Guardian (4000)

Locke frowned. The voice coming from the World Tree was not only mysterious, but also contained a lot of information that he didn’t know, so he couldn’t understand the specific meaning of its words.

But in the previous few times when I was in touch with the natural plane, I was unable to speak actively in this illusion.

But this time, after trying several times, I felt that I could clearly speak, but it was as if humans had never grown this organ before, so I couldn’t use it for a while.

But after repeated attempts, Locke finally uttered the first syllable in this natural illusion. “You…”

Suddenly, the natural force of the natural plane responded to a simple syllable of human language.

Storms of natural force appeared above them.

But these terrifying natural force storms are as insignificant as small splashes of water to the great World Tree.

But for Locke, it was an endless storm of magic.

Locke’s soul continued to break through the limits and reached the limit of the human soul. In the realm above this limit, it reacted with the natural force of the natural plane.

Locke immediately realized that this was the natural force plane, almost the largest external source of wood element magic particles.

The rest of the sources should be the forests and other ecosystems of those planes themselves.

In some theories, they call the torrent of composite particles of the wood element life energy.

Therefore, even speaking the simplest syllable here may cause a reaction from the natural force and produce some kind of natural magic.

This also indirectly proves his magic level as a first-ring plant wizard.

A first-ring wizard is no longer a mortal.

His soul has reached a height that is impossible for mortals to reach.

A first-ring botanical wizard’s combat effectiveness will be infinitely improved if he is in the plane of natural force.

Of course, in the main material plane, he certainly would not have the same advantages as in the natural force plane.

Locke thought about it and realized that he could not utter any simple syllables in the natural plane, so he could not communicate with the world tree manifested by the mysterious will of the natural plane.

But this opportunity is rare, and I don’t know when I will encounter it again.

Therefore, Locke quickly pondered a solution. He had to establish contact with the World Tree of Will in the Natural Plane before withdrawing from this connection. “Using ordinary human language has this effect. If I use proper magical language, the wind of plant magic will immediately blow.”

“The natural force plane is still very dangerous for me at the moment.”

“If you’re not careful, you might create a continuous magical storm around you.”

“It was the World Tree that blocked the chain reaction of magic caused by the syllable I uttered.”

“Wait a minute, I also know a language, it’s the Mordo language!”

Locke immediately tried to communicate with the World Tree using the Mordo language. Mordo language is a language of negative energy, and natural and life magics repel each other. Therefore, it might not be possible to activate one’s own magical will and endow the natural force around oneself with plant magic by uttering a simple syllable.

It caused a continuous magical storm that stretched for thousands of miles.

Locke tried to speak in the Mordor language: “Great Natural Plane Consciousness, I am Locke Augustine.”

“I’m here to pay tribute to you.”

“But I want to ask you, what is defense? What is victory from ancient times to the present? And what was that disaster 500,000 years ago?”

Locke asked about the secret he had been looking for.

The World Tree Consciousness didn’t seem too surprised. Why did Locke use the negative energy language of Mordo to communicate with Him? “Three Eyes, you have become smarter.”

“That apocalyptic disaster… can’t be mentioned. Most of the natural guardians died in it.”

“A few outstanding individuals among the Three Eyes will be chosen to be guardians of nature. Guardians of nature are responsible for protecting nature.”

The World Tree Consciousness is not like an individual’s consciousness. Its thinking is vast and slow, fair and objective.

“The duty of guarding is to select special individuals from the natural plane to protect the natural ecology. These chosen magical creatures, endowed with wisdom and power, are the guardians of nature.”

“Nature Guardians protect nature, and there are different types of Nature Guardians. Type I Nature Guardians are designed to appear when a biological community has reached an optimal solution within its natural environment. When a community has reached a relative balance with the natural environment, facing no external threats or natural enemies, and when social structure, technological progress, and even its own evolution have reached a long-term stagnation, a Type I Nature Guardian will appear and rekindle the community’s fear of its natural enemies.”

“To promote the evolution of the natural ecology.”

“Type I Nature Guardians are manifestations of the power of nature’s evolution. Their responsibilities differ from those of other types of Nature Guardians, and therefore they are calamities. They are negative feedback creatures that bring destruction and disaster to the natural world. Negative feedback must exist at a certain level within the natural ecosystem, otherwise the ecosystem will collapse and evolution will stagnate.”

“Disasters, death, plague, disease, natural enemies, and you, the scourge beasts, all drive the ecology to continuous evolution.”

A golden-green light appeared in the natural magic eye on Locke’s forehead, and a special black and red rune formed inside it.

This rune was written in the language of natural force and was extremely mysterious. It had a complexity that was not found in any of the life magic languages Locke had come across before.

At the same time, Locke seemed to be blessed with some kind of power. After he activated this natural force rune, all his magic power and basic physical strength went up a level, probably doubled.

Moreover, Locke also felt that the Earth’s magnetic field in his innate magic eye seemed to have undergone some changes. It seemed that because of that single natural force rune, he could obtain the special blessing of the natural force rune.

This is equivalent to obtaining the identity of a nature guardian through the three-eyed tiger-eye cat, and the nature guardian brings a set of panel bonuses to himself, plus a skill change.

The World Tree transmitted another illusion through Locke’s palm pressing on its trunk. In a dense jungle, the evolution of a group of reptiles had reached a certain limit. They occupied most of the ecological resources, refused to evolve, and chose to maintain the status quo. They had never changed for millions of years.

One day, a reptile with the ability to fly accidentally fell into the magma of a volcano. Then it was reborn from the magma in the crater and reappeared in the world, bringing high temperature and heat to the entire world. Large areas of magical plants began to die, the ecology collapsed, and reptile populations began to die on a large scale.

It seemed that the ecology was being destroyed, but the reptile population that had stagnated for millions of years and had not evolved began to change under the power of this natural disaster.

The scene changed again, and this time it showed a humanoid intelligent life civilization that had developed to the limit. They had long since overcome birth, old age, sickness and death, and had no enemies. At the same time, they refused to explore outward, but stayed where they were, consuming the existing resources, enjoying comfort and pleasure, and their civilization completely stagnated.

But suddenly one day, a terrifying giant nine-headed snake emerged from the ground, madly destroying all the cities of this civilization and forcing this civilization to leave its original place.

The last scene is a forest with a raging fire, which seems to turn the entire forest floor into a sea of fire. But when the flames disappear, it is discovered that it is just a low-temperature fire that spreads throughout the forest floor.

After the sea of fire, the parasites and pathogens on the plants inside the forest were eliminated. The burning flames ignited the weak and sick branches, which turned into ashes. In turn, they fed back to the truly strong trees in the forest, making the entire forest healthier and continuously evolving.

The World Tree conveyed its will. ‘This is the truth.’

“Nature requires negative feedback. The duty of the disaster beast is to kill.”

“This duty stems from an ancient garrison. In ancient times, individuals from biological groups with special traits were selected as Nature Guardians and categorized. Each type of Nature Guardian had different duties.”

‘But at present, this mechanism has serious problems.’

“Three Eyes, don’t let the catastrophe that happened 500,000 years ago happen again. As long as it doesn’t happen again, we can maintain our victory and continue to win.”

The next moment, Locke’s will was disconnected from the World Tree.

Even for a first-ring wizard, the soul strength is not enough to connect with the world consciousness of the natural force plane for such a long time.

If it were not for the existence of the special natural guardian system, Locke would not have been able to have such a deep communication with the world consciousness of the natural plane and obtain such profound knowledge at the first ring stage.

This part of knowledge is equivalent to the world’s will passing it directly to him. It is somewhat similar to the unity of man and nature in his previous life, or it is like some kind of inspiration from God.

After all, research and reading books are just a few ways to gain knowledge.

The world is very big, and there are plenty of other ways to acquire knowledge, but the threshold is quite high and not available to ordinary people.

In the central control room of a research institute located in the forbidden forest swamp, Locke sat on the ground, lost in deep thought.

He still had his natural demon eye open, and within it were runes of the natural force. “This situation is developing a bit strangely.”

Locke looked in the mirror and thought, “I’ve read about the natural force runes in books. Wizards call them Primal Runes.”

“That is the oldest rune in the world. It has inspired countless wizards. Many wizards are tracing its origins and proving that the [Original Rune] does exist.”

“But most of them failed. Now I have obtained something that the first-ring wizards, and even the second-ring wizards, have not researched.” Locke had a strange expression.

“This… is quite refreshing.”

“Just try not to use it in front of others. I don’t want to attract the attention of the second-ring wizards.”

Locke looked at the black and red rune in the natural magic eye on his forehead. It was the ancient primitive rune.

Legend has it that the earliest wizards once studied these primitive runes in depth and absorbed countless magical essences from them.

But for a long time, this was just regarded as a children’s story and was not taken seriously by wizards.

But his own existence has proved that the original runes do exist.

Locke pondered, “Although I still don’t understand what the disaster that wiped out almost all ancient creatures 500,000 years ago was and how it came about, I finally understand what the Guardians of Nature are.”

“Type I Nature Guardians are all disaster beasts, responsible for bringing new disasters and dangers.”

“Using these disasters and dangers, they drive the evolution of species within the natural world. Therefore, Type I Nature Guardians are, in a sense, natural disasters.”

“Preventing species from achieving the optimal solution within the current natural environment, then losing their driving force and becoming stagnant, stuck in a rut, consuming resources, and ultimately extinct.”

Locke pulled out his notes from his astral ring, recording the divine knowledge he had received from the World Tree. “Of course, there are certainly more types of Nature Guardians besides Type I. And the first ring should only be the minimum level required for a Type I Nature Guardian to fulfill their duties.”

“I don’t know if there will be any new changes when I get to the Second Ring Road.”

“Or is it possible that the bloodline of the three-eyed tiger-eyed cat can only produce the template of a first-level Type I Nature Guardian?”

“Then we need to trace back and seek out more advanced ancient biological bloodlines.”

“After I obtained the Calamity Beast’s faceplate, all my strength increased by two times, and I also gained a special ability that is in the process of being conceived. Furthermore, as my base strength increases in the future, thanks to the Calamity Beast template, all my faceplates will be able to double, at least at the first ring stage.”

“This is a powerful force that cannot be ignored.”

“The price-performance ratio is very high. Wizards are meant to explore the unknown.”

Locke drew the pattern of the ancient Orkney giant bear and the three-eyed tiger-eyed cat on his notebook, thought for a moment, and wrote the word “gold” next to it.

“Or perhaps it’s to dig up the bloodline of unknown ancient creatures that I currently have.”

“According to the World Tree, Guardians of Nature can only be selected from certain ancient biological groups. That explains why there is no information about Guardians of Nature in the wizarding world today.”

“Nature Guardians are rare even among ancient species, not to mention that in today’s world, most ancient species have become extinct.”

“If the Guardians of Nature are the limbs of the natural plane that interfere with the operation of the world, then most of the limbs of the natural plane have already been cut off.”

Locke was puzzled. “Then the great disaster in the past was even more widespread and had a more serious impact than I imagined.”

“It has even changed the logic of how the world works.”

“What happened five hundred thousand years ago?”

“Exploring this secret will undoubtedly bring me great benefits. Secrets are power. Unlocking the secret will give you power.”

Locke pressed his palm on the amethyst matrix, and suddenly a row of numbers appeared on the amethyst matrix – 3000, 3500!

My current mana is three thousand, and my magic pressure is three thousand five!
