The forest wasn't completely dark nor silent at night, at times it shone with faint blue and yellow bioluminescent light especially when moving in between the branches.
All types of insects and weird alienoid lived and thrived, He couldn't move without seeing all types of weird beings.
There were moths, small snakes, insects, giant beatles, multicolored bugs, he even stumbled on a very big spider web. It couldn't capture his giant size but it was still impressive.
As he was moving, he couldn't help but ask : "Are the Nayaa and Keiya the only humanoid specie that look like this?"
"Of course not, I only mentioned these because they are related you, as for the main humanoid species that exists in the forest, they are the Naaya, Keiya, Teeya and Leeya tribes."
"Then how come I haven't met any of them?
"A beast just happened, intelligent species are the first to escape, the beasts even dared to stage a rebellion, do you think Mother will just stand as they destroy the ecosystem?"
"What? but didn't that what just happened?"
"You foolish one, death is intertwined with life, all those beasts and divine trees's deaths are to prune, filter and reshape the ecosystem so it can grow in a better more sustainable way."
"So that Tree is really alive, it did seem powerful."
"You are truly a frog in the bottom of a well, even the highest existence in this world have to bow to Mother, you worm that doesn't know the immensity of the Heaven and earth, you don't even know that it was only by Mother's divine mercy that you can even survive."
"Okay, okay I understand, just cut it."
He continued : "Is there another transformation by the way?"
"The only remaining one is human, its the basic mode, you aren't a Keiya even now, you are just a human using transformation path to temporarily become a Keiya, although this transformation is much more authentic and with little limitations since its innate to you, but you are at the core always a human being."
"I haven't asked yet what's the ability of a human being in this world?"
"Human beings have no special ability unlike the humanoid species like the Naaya and Keiya but that also offers them limitless potential. The innate path dao marks of the other humanoid species are at the same time also a restriction but that also comes at a benefit, they can cultivate easier and grow more powerful faster, Heaven is always fair, there is always benefits and setbacks to every path."
"I see. It seems in the long run I will have to be a human being."
"That is a matter of course, if other human beings saw you in the Naaya or Keiya form, killing you would be the least they would do."
"What do you mean? you really think human are just gonna allow other intelligent species to coexist, although they do but there is widespread discrimination although it cannot be called so since they are different species."
"So the moment I leave this forest, I would have already lost both transformations off the bat."
"Sigh, I knew the world wouldn't allow me such gifts without a price, I can only use them in emergencies."
He continued before suddenly realising : "But wait, can't I just prove that I am a human transforming into a beast?"
"To them, you could be a beast hiding as a human, it isn't impossible for humanoid specie to cultivate other paths other than their innate one."
"I see."
He kept moving paying attention to both of his surroundings and his body before something clicked in his mind.
Nameless was suprised to find a small sphere in his lower-abdomen.
It seemed to be infinitely small yet limitlessly big, it existed without physically existing, it existed without taking physical space yet it was there.
"What is this thing in my lower-abdomen, how come I have only realised it now?"
"You really are a slow one, that's the dantian I talked about before."
"Why didn't you mention it before."
"You have to realise it yourself to activate, even if I told you wouldn't have noticed it before."
Nameless could instinctively feel this sphere and control it as if it was a part of him.
When he realised it and felt it, he also felt an attraction between his dantian and the energy around him.
He stopped for a moment, sitting on a big branch as he entered what seemed like a meditative state.
"Stay alert for me for a few moments."
Half an hour of that meditative state followed before some of the energy of the world started to enter his dantian.
It entered in a gaseous form slowly filling his dantian.
This gas then condensed slowly before it turned from gaseous energy turned into a cloud.
This cloud then grew before small drops of liquid energy fell.
Two hours passed and only a few drops gathered.
The night had already set, beast sounds echoed, Nameless decided to stop and move on his way continuing on his road while he thought about his situation.
He moved for a while in the vast multi-colored bioluminiscent forest while beautiful blue, yellow, red and purple jellyfishes ethereally floated in the air slightly illuminating the deep darkness around him, their existence painted the canvas of the forest with a spectacular sight.
Nameless stopped a few times to take in the view but he still rushed to his destination.
"I have finally arrived."
In front of him was a cave.
