Thornspike had already refused to root itself within the manor, which meant that other Treants and Enlightened Trees were also unsuitable for long-term residence in the manor.
Just like when Gaven enlightened the Black Nanmu, as soon as he activated the Enlightenment spell, the willow's initial consciousness actively approached him, greedily absorbing the remnant life force from Gaven's body.
At the time he served as an energy conduit, a part of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree's life force still lingered within his body.
Although the amount was small, it was like a life-saving straw for the willow at the end of its rope.
As the life force was absorbed, many leaves that were half-dark turned completely black and fell without any wind, while patches of verdant branches and leaves sprouted in their place.
Gaven's Consciousness Sea stirred for a moment, as if something was eager to come forth.
Distracting a part of his mind, he felt the presence of none other than Weizemay Manor.
