When she opened her eyes, she finally realized what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the perception range of the tree network, it was not just thousands of Mutated banyans linked; the consciousness extended indefinitely, with almost no end in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Bai Yi’s perception, each Mutated banyan tried hard to express its goodwill and affection, continuously transmitting it to Bai Yi through the tree network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making Bai Yi feel as if she was the God of this giant Banyan Forest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief shock, Bai Yi calmed down, attempting to feel the changes in the giant banyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her consciousness was now immersed in the giant tree, this new form of perception, neither sight nor touch, felt very novel to Bai Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Swarm Consciousness, or now it should be called Tree Ocean Consciousness, the giant banyan could be directly controlled by Bai Yi, just like any other insect swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could precisely control tree vines and roots to entangle enemies, just like she saw on the first day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrarily, in the area that shocked Bai Yi earlier, the perception strength wasn’t as powerful as imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the fusion gene was ultimately specific to the giant banyan, not this Tree Ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the giant banyan, relying on its vast, interconnected root system, could construct this unexpected Tree Ocean network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, this tree network currently could only provide enhancements similar to a Swarm Consciousness, but couldn’t control other banyan trees like a Swarm Network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To truly perfect it, Bai Yi would have to somehow infuse Swarm Consciousness into the entire extent of this unknown-sized Banyan Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, before genetic fusion, the giant banyan’s intelligence was lacking. Expecting ordinary, even lower-tier Mutated banyans to work was asking a bit much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through this tree network, Bai Yi also tried sensing the boundaries of the Banyan Forest, discovering that the giant banyan was actually at the edge of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearby Red River acted as a boundary, with an entire void on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In another direction, the tree network almost covered the entire White Poplar Mountain, except for some mountaintops that remained blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because the perception from the tree network wasn’t clear, the exact coverage area couldn’t be determined yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The information provided by this root network is not much different from when I actively communicated with the Mutant Plants using superpower before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly vague, with just good or bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it allows me to connect to this tree network near the territory at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without needing to use a giant banyan as an interface each time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a sense, the giant banyan is now a tree network signal converter solely for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a gain anyway, since I don’t plan to wander outside, having this tree network offers another layer of security for the territory’s safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to this unexpected joy of the tree network, fully awakening the consciousness of the giant banyan is the real gain this time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even acquiring a soldier unit-like panel, could the panel’s evaluation method be consciousness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With consciousness returning to her body, two tree vines drooped down and affectionately rubbed against her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed one to her front to satisfy its wish, her gaze falling on Nong Yi, who hadn’t yet returned to his senses, causing her heart to skip a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could something unusual have happened during the gene fusion just now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shouldn’t be, simply integrating Swarm Consciousness shouldn’t cause anomalies, it’s not like it was gigantification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did anything special happen just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi’s voice pulled Nong Yi’s consciousness back, stammering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, master, just now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now the forest outside, after you put your hand on the giant tree, the tree began to move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the entire forest outside started to shake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi: O.o?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Northwest of White Poplar Mountain, Chenxi Valley\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the stream’s shallows, a three-meter-tall monkey jumped from a nearby banyan onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its leather garb was impeccably tailored; notwithstanding its occasional grimace, it appeared almost human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other “humans” were already present at the shallows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blub blub blub…” (You’re late)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An orange Big Cat lounged on the stream’s edge, licking its paws, its vertical pupils faintly watching the monkey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside it sat a white-feathered Big Bird on a boulder and a coiled Black Snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t speak in cat language; I can’t understand it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monkey cast a disdainful glance at the Big Cat. In terms of power, none present intimidated the other, so it naturally wouldn’t cower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meow~” (I simply love to, so what?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, we didn’t gather here to argue. You all must have felt the forest’s commotion just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mature female voice emanated from beside the Black Snake, interrupting the potential quarrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tch, giving Miss Snake some face!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monkey nonchalantly remarked, shifting to a wise demeanor, and seriously asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are your thoughts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Snake and Big Bird exchanged glances, refocusing their gaze on the monkey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your brains are sharp, monkey, you decide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve been oppressed by those brutes for too long simply because we didn’t have a Tree King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that a Tree King has finally been born and seems to be among these banyans, let’s see how arrogant they can still be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a newly born Tree King is probably very weak; we must find it before the brutes do…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monkey’s eyes slowly scanned the area, finally landing on a banyan nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi, the instigator of this mutation, was entirely unaware of the unfolding events here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Planning the next gene fusion that would be needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Poplar Lake Giant Willow: Originally an ornamental willow tree on Lake Heart Island of White Poplar Lake, rapidly evolved into a Tier Five Mutant Plant due to unknown reasons during Mutation, current Strength unknown, guarded by a Mutated orangutan, extremely dangerous, stay away…\u003C\u002Fp>",1513,"2026-06-06T04:11:16.815Z",1,"novelbin.me","37f8c5ab87bf43c14f0ab272cdff1d498cadd41bba6a0d53916a0eed23a7921d","the-doomsday-lord-starting-as-a-insect-queen-chapter-68","the-doomsday-lord-starting-as-a-insect-queen-chapter-66",1449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-doomsday-lord-starting-as-a-insect-queen-cover.jpg"]
