Humid and hot.
Xu Sheng felt that his body was itchy.
But he has no ability to move. He is limited to a small area. No matter what he wants to do, he cannot complete it.
I am a seed, and seeds cannot move.
He gradually understood this in his heart.
What surprised him even more was that after becoming a seed, he found that the time regression stopped.
Time returned to its normal flow, and he could feel himself growing all the time.
But when the time regression stopped, he also found that he had lost the specific memory of the past.
He only remembers two words so far.
'elf'
It was very important to him, and he had an inexplicable idea: to protect them.
As time passed, he gradually learned to control his body. When all the stored nutrients were absorbed by him, he began to extend his roots and penetrate deeper. He tried his best to absorb every nutrient and strived to break through the top of his head. The layers of restraint, seeing the scene outside this dark place.
Finally, one day, when he pushed away the last soil above, light shone on him, making him feel the warmth he had not seen for a long time.
What a wonderful feeling, the sunlight gave him a lot of energy, which he absorbed hungrily.
A seed does not know what sunshine is, but Xu Sheng was once a human after all. Although he has forgotten almost all his memories, he can still name some common sense things after seeing them.
Day after day, year after year.
He is getting higher and higher, and gradually, he has surpassed everything around him.
From an objective world perspective, his height has reached three meters at this time.
At a height of three meters, bushes and grass cannot surpass him.
A feeling of joy and elation gradually arose in his heart.
Hum, I let you compete with me for the sunshine, but now you can no longer block me.
Carrying the most sunlight and receiving the most energy, his growth rate continued to accelerate in the following days.
After an unknown amount of time, all the plants around him could no longer even reach his waist. They looked so short now that no one could imagine that in the past, these plants had competed with him for living space.
Time is still moving forward, and he is growing stronger and stronger, but at the same time, a deep loneliness appears in his heart.
On the plain with an unobstructed view, the originally lush jungle gradually withered away, and only a huge tree continued to grow in the center.
Plants also have a lifespan, and under the power of time, they will also end their lives.
Compared with flesh and blood life, their life span is long, but equivalent to the huge tree in the center, their life span is extremely short.
Trees can also produce offspring called seeds to continue the life of their own species, but these seeds will also wither when they grow into trees.
Reproduction is not a simple matter. Fewer and fewer seeds can survive. In the end, when the last seed dies due to lack of energy and fails to germinate, there is really only one huge one left on the entire plain. tree.
At this time, the height of the tree has exceeded 500 meters. It is as huge as a hill. You can see it from a long distance and worship it, sighing at the greatness of nature for giving birth to such a magical species.
But Xu Sheng didn't feel happy at all. At this time, he felt a little sad.
Obviously I have tried my best to deliver nutrients to the seed, but why did it still die?
It was such a long time that Xu Sheng's thinking as a human gradually faded away, and now he was completely like a tree.
He didn't give himself a name because there was no one around him to communicate with and a name was meaningless.
Even the idea of a name came to me out of bored reverie one afternoon.
As spring passed and autumn came, the plain where the roots were rooted even began to shrink.
When he suddenly woke up one day, he realized that his surroundings had become a vast ocean.
But Wang Yang stopped a few miles away from him. His root system was so strong that it stretched out an area and turned into an island.
I don’t know how much time passed, but a bird flew over from a distance.
twitter.
They stayed in front of this huge tree and kept circling. They had been flying in this area for a long time, and the tree in front of them was the only place they could stay.
But the aura of the tree in front of them was too powerful. Although they had no intelligence, their instinct of life still gave them a sense of fear.
But no matter how scared they are, they can only keep getting closer.
They have been flying for too long and have no strength left. If they had not seen this tree before their strength ran out, they would all have fallen into the ocean and drowned by now.
'Come on, I won't hurt you'
Xu Sheng tried his best to speak, but how could a tree talk?
Hua Hua Hua
The sound of swaying leaves.
Human language becomes the frequency of swaying leaves.
No creature can understand the meaning, and the birds in front of them also don't understand.
But they felt that the tree in front of them suddenly no longer seemed so scary. Even if they continued to move forward, they did not feel any danger.
Finally, they came into contact with the branches and stayed on them.
Zhizhi!
This group of dozens of birds screamed with joy. As expected, this giant tree would not hurt them and they could survive!
The birds made their home here.
In a blue sea without any place to stay, this is the last habitat.
Xu Sheng was overjoyed. When the bird lived on his body, he felt lonely and left him. Now he will have new activities tomorrow.
Observing the activities of the birds made him feel that his tree life had meaning.
The weather changes, and the clouds in the sky thicken, turning from white to gray, and then from gray to black. There are rumbling sounds brewing in it, and occasionally there are arcs of lightning that flash across the sky and the earth.
The birds were so frightened that they huddled together shivering.
Now they have produced the first batch of offspring, expanding the size of the group to more than a hundred.
But beings as weak as them are so insignificant before heaven and earth.
The appearance of thunder and lightning heralds a disaster, and the memory buried in their blood tells them that whenever such a scene occurs, it will be a huge disaster for them.
Xu Sheng sensed their thoughts, and he felt a little pity for these little beings.
He looked up at the sky.
The clouds were not far away from the momentum, and thunder and lightning were brewing.
boom!
A bolt of lightning struck out from it and fell directly towards the top of his head.
squeak!
The birds chirped in fear.
That's the sound!
Danger! Extremely dangerous!
snort.
Xu Sheng was very unhappy. He looked at the falling thunder and lightning, and then raised one of his branches to greet it.
The two faced each other, and the lightning destroyed most of the branches, but he was also wiped out.
Xu Sheng didn't even feel the pain at all, it was just a bolt of lightning, and he didn't know how much it had been eliminated in the past time.
The birds gradually discovered this and sang happily.
More and more birds are discovering this giant tree.
They settled here one after another to build nests and breed.
Xu Sheng also grew taller and taller.
There are countless nests on each level of his branches, and hundreds of thousands of birds grow on his body.
They are colorful, some have slender bodies, and some are a little bloated.
But no matter what their appearance is, Xu Sheng loves them all the same.
…
An island formed by a giant tree stands in the middle of the ocean. It provides important habitat and shelter for countless birds.
A strange feeling suddenly arose in its heart.
He gradually felt a special emotion.
However, this emotion has not yet been completely generated. Just like the time when it was still a seed, it is still in an ungerminated state and needs sufficient nutrients to break out of the ground.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Sheng found that the ocean around him began to recede, and the former plains reappeared.
The birds that had reproduced for unknown generations were singing, and then gradually some birds flew away and never came back.
Although the number each time was small, after many years, there were only less than a hundred birds left on his body.
He felt a sense of loneliness again for a long time, and the scene before the birds flew many years ago appeared in his mind.
The last of the bird flock also flew away.
Xu Sheng fell completely into loneliness.
At this time, his height has exceeded 2,300 meters, and even a real mountain range is not as high as him.
But no matter how tall I am, the bustle of the past is far away from me.
Xu Sheng felt more and more that he was losing interest in his surroundings.
At first he was still waiting for the birds that had flown away to come back, but one day passed and two days passed, and they did not come back.
Finally, he no longer had expectations and became familiar with loneliness again.
One day, he saw a dandelion seed flying from a distance.
It fell not far away from him and took root. Not long after, a dandelion grew. When it matured, the wind took away its seeds. Then in the blink of an eye, more dandelions appeared. Dandelions appear.
But Xu Sheng no longer had time to pay attention to these dandelions, because after that, more and more seeds took root around him. It seemed that in just the blink of an eye, his surroundings were already covered with plants.
A forest formed around him, even more lush than when he was born.
Xu Sheng felt the same kind of people who may not be called the same kind. After the birds left, he was separated from loneliness again and felt the weight of other lives.
Year after year he continued to grow in height.
The clouds that were once unattainable were now broken by him, between his brows, eyes, nose, neck, and then gradually reached his waist.
He thought he would continue to grow like this until a group of upright-walking creatures came to his feet.
