Druid's Marvel Travels

Chapter 248 Building a Signal Base Station
Gaia's consciousness, if Oakes's own power is used, even though his soul is already extremely strong, he can still only "perceive" him, but cannot "approach" him.

Even with the infinite energy of the Mind Stone, such a huge pan-conscious body is not accessible to mere mortals.

But now, as a powerful druid, Oakes is the person closest to nature on earth, the only human being who has determined the existence of "Gaia Consciousness" not by calculation but by perception...

The Mind Stone helped him accomplish the impossible task.

Oakes didn't know how to approach the pan-consciousness of a planetary-scale ecosystem.

He can only use the most stupid way——

Replace the "Heavenly Heart" with "Original Mind" and experience the ecological cycle with your own consciousness, so as to understand the operation mode of Gaia's consciousness.

In Azeroth, powerful druids can communicate with the consciousness of the planet through the Emerald Dream.

That's because the Emerald Dream was originally created by the power of the Titans, the potential blueprint of the planet.

Azeroth would have developed into the world it would have been without the interference of intelligent races, such as technological advancement, urbanization, and war.

It is the original appearance of Azeroth, a reflection of Azeroth before it was transformed by intelligent creatures.

They are twin worlds on different planes.

In other words, the Emerald Dream is the original ecosystem of Azeroth.

Therefore, the first Druid Malfurion, with the blessing of the Emerald Dream, was able to receive Azeroth's star-level assistance in the Battle of the Ancients.

That was also the most glorious moment of the druid profession——

Forcing Archimonde back, washing the entire demon army in ancient Kalimdor with a rain of purification comparable to the power of the dragon's soul, and so on.

So there is a saying that whether Malfurion is strong or not depends on whether the wifi signal is good or not.

Switching to Oakes, the strength of the earth's ecological circle is far inferior to Azeroth, who is the strongest titan larva.

But its power is still beyond the reach of mortals.

However, the wifi signal in Oaks before was very poor, as if there was no bar at all.

But the unreasonable signal booster of the Mind Stone made his current signal close to full.

Oakes basically uses its power to "simulate" the way Gaia's consciousness exists.

Therefore, for the first time Oakes really approached "Him".

It's steady, big, and tough.

During the "Archean Era" period 38 billion years ago, some simple prokaryotes appeared on the earth, such as Western Army and cyanobacteria capable of photosynthesis.

This is the origin of life on earth.

The biosphere really began to evolve about 35 billion years ago.

Two billion years ago, the green algae of autotrophic organisms were born, oxygen appeared in large quantities, and the primary biosphere developed into a secondary biosphere.

6 million years ago, multicellular animals appeared, and a three-level ecosystem emerged. The three-level structure of producers, consumers, and decomposers established the basic pattern of ecosystem evolution.

With a history of 35 billion years, the ecosphere has formed the colorful world today, the basis for the existence of Gaia consciousness.

Even several global catastrophes that could be called mass extinctions failed to crush it.

But at the same time, it is varied, nuanced and fragile.

In the period of about 300 million years after the appearance of human beings on the earth, human beings were in a reasonable balance with the surrounding creatures and environment.

The status of human beings in the biosphere is not obviously superior to that of other animals in terms of the influence they can exert on the biosphere.

But about 1 years ago, humans learned to cultivate plants, and improvements in agriculture and storage unleashed human intelligence and productivity.

7000 years ago, the truly recorded human civilization began to flourish, and the impact and impact of human activities on the environment increased day by day.

Especially in the last few hundred years, lack of arable land, reduction of vegetation, soil erosion, increase in meteorological disasters, extinction of species, environmental pollution...

Human beings have transformed the natural ecosystem into an artificial ecosystem through their own activities, leading to fundamental changes in the ecosystem.

But this change, at least for now, is short-sighted and fraught with danger.

Human beings, the chosen ones conceived by the ecological circle, are gradually becoming terrible parasites that live on the ecological circle.

Gaia consciousness does not turn a blind eye.

Greenhouse effect, El Nino, sea level rise, earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, abnormal ocean currents, land degradation...

Everything is a warning from Gaia consciousness to human beings.

"I'm going to change that..."

Although it has not really merged with Gaia's consciousness, Oakes, who is infinitely close to him, can already spy on some of his "consciousness".

The history and glory that "He" has experienced, as well as the injuries and pains He has endured, have caused a huge shock to Oakes' powerful soul and the spirit guarded by the soul gem.

But to his delight, the consciousness of Gaia did not reject him.

Unlike the human beings who are almost classified as "parasites", Gaia's consciousness will not make any obvious reactions, but it can clearly distinguish "friendliness" towards the spirit of Oakes!
If the process of conquering Gaia's consciousness is a reputation bar, human beings are already in "coldness" and are heading in the direction of "hostility" without knowing it.

But Oakes himself is "friendly" - through the close contact assisted by the Mind Stone, Oakes can already accurately perceive this!
And what makes Oakes's spirit eccentric is...

This close encounter with Gaia's consciousness seemed to trigger something extraordinary.

Oakes could feel that within the scope of the earth's biosphere, his natural spell bonus would increase by an additional [-]%.

If you work harder and step into the level of "respect", this bonus will increase to [-]%.

"...Respect and adoration are 50% and [-]%? Can the pinnacle increase the power of natural spells by more than [-]%?"

Oakes seemed to have a feeling in a trance. This was probably a "prestige system" in line with his own understanding formed under the combined effect of Gaia's consciousness and the energy of the Mind Stone.

In this way, the illusory "favorability" is quantified into progress, making your goals clearer and clearer!

"I will not live up to your expectations..."

The spirit was gradually exhausted, and the soul as strong as Oakes also felt exhausted.

Even with the infinite energy blessing of the Mind Stone, mere mortals have to directly contact the pan-consciousness of the planetary level, just like "facing the way of heaven" in fantasy novels.

Oakes understood that this contact was over--

And probably only when his prestige reaches a qualitative change and he enters the next level, will he have such an opportunity again.

After finally sending out a search to Gaia's consciousness and getting a positive response, Oakes disconnected the spiritual link.

"Can I be regarded as a real 'Nature Messenger' now?"

Oakes let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and put away the Soul Gem:

"Friendly 70%... It seems that a signal base station is indeed going to be built."
