After going through every nook and cranny of my new form with the assistance of the Hive Spirit, the conclusion was almost anticlimactic.
I was a gigantic ass tree.
That was it.
There was no hidden consciousness buried inside the genetic structure, no extraordinary soul organ, and no mysterious ability that could explain the behavior of the forest. My transformed body behaved exactly as a tree should, only on a ridiculously larger scale.
For a moment, I thought I had wasted my time. I was already preparing to revert to my original form when I suddenly sensed something.
It was faint.
So faint that I almost mistook it for an ordinary fluctuation in my surroundings.
A resonance.
I froze and focused on it.
The sensation wasn't coming from outside my body. It was traveling through my roots. More precisely, it felt as though something was guiding them.
