A few moments before the Sylvans woke up, they all managed to evolve according to their natures. Only, their basic natures of Fire, Life, Wind, and Music had evolved beyond any bounds. As if Level 100 was the threshold, their bodies were waiting before fully exploding with their true strength.
Cinderielle, while Leveling Up, felt as if her body were soaking in a stream of temperatures that changed infinitely. As she moved her hand, the air froze, ignited, vaporized, and then liquefied, only to become extreme substances like plasma or perfectly still matter in the next instant.
Her eyes, observing the endless cosmos, spotted a nearby planet, and she waved one hand. After that single gesture, the world ignited like a new star. Startled, she lowered her hand.
"Shift."
With that gesture, it wasn't only the world but even the flames themselves that froze into a giant cohesive whole. This made her beautiful orange eyes widen, her flaming red hair fluttering with endlessly shifting temperature.

Race: Infant Thermis Chaos Sylvan (Mythical)
Titles:
Talents:
Passive Skills:
Description:
A Sylvan born from distant echoes of a being beyond time and space, she embodies balance within instability. The Chaos Thermis Sylvan naturally governs every facet of heat, capable of plunging worlds into frozen silence or igniting them into blazing rebirth. Should a Sylvan of this lineage reach full maturity, she would ascend to the threshold of cosmic law itself, one who comprehends and governs the concept of entropy.

Verdantia was curled in a warm, moist place. Her eyes closed, and her body was devoid of any clothes. A second later, her eyes opened to new light, observing her own birth. This left her dazed.
Her life flashed before her eyes at an incredible speed. In just a few seconds, she reached over 90 years old, which was her current age. She still looked as vibrant and full of vitality as she did when she was 20. However, time didn't stop there.
Her gaze zoomed out, feeling the planet's rotation as life renewed itself through the ages. Even when a giant apocalypse occurred, almost exterminating life, some resilient lifeforms survived, ushering in a new, vibrant era.
As her gaze moved to the side, a barren world entered her eyes. Feeling pity in her heart, she reached out to touch the world.
"Bloom."
The second she did so, endless vitality flowed out from her fingers, and plants and other animals dominated the space where nothing was able to be born previously.
A soft smile appeared on her lips.

Race: Infant Vitae Chaos Sylvan (Mythical)
Titles:
Talents:
Passive Skills:
Description:
A Sylvan born from the primordial chaos that gave rise to life itself, she embodies vitality in its purest form. Her energy overflows, every breath capable of awakening dormant worlds and revivifying fading whispers. Yet within her lies a delicate balance, for unrestrained life can twist into corruption just as easily as it can heal. Should a Sylvan of this species reach full maturity, her being would transcend the boundaries of biology and soul alike, touching the very principle that defines creation itself.
***
Chaotic streams of energy surrounded Tempestria. A place where there was no up and down, left or right. Yet, even when her surroundings were able to shred anything into pieces, her grey eyes were calm, even showing a touch of comfort.
When she looked, she didn't see endless chaos but a storm that moved orderly. In chaos, there was logic. Following that logic, Tempestria raised her fingers and manipulated the endless streams around her.
With her gestures, the sky parted, and her eyes finally saw the endless cosmos extending beyond her. Looking to the stars, Tempestria was able to see through the chaotic energies that formed Solar Storms. Towards the planets, she could easily read and predict the endless flow of the chaotic atmosphere.
As she stretched her hand, the very cosmic storms surrendered to her will. And so, the Tempest Sylvan spoke.
"Move."
For that was the nature of the tempest: constant movement. With her words, the world's atmosphere surrendered to its ruler, and Tempestria manipulated the endless streams as she pleased.

Description:
A Sylvan born from the turbulent chaos that reigned before order took form, she embodies the tempestuous heart of the cosmos itself. The Chaos Tempest Sylvan commands the wildest storms, her will bending even the most violent solar winds to obedience. Should a Sylvan of this lineage reach full maturity, she would control and touch the very law of controlled chaotic destruction.

Harmonixia's senses were all sealed. The only thing she could feel was the strings of the universe around her. Even without touch, sight, or even hearing, the Sylvan didn't panic. Her senses stretched, transformed, and slowly changed their tune.
As time passed, Harmonixia resonated with the energy around her. Her existence as an individual before was now becoming part of a larger whole. Slowly, her senses returned.
Her sense of touch came first, her fingers tenderly sliding through the harmonized surroundings. Then, her hearing caught the sounds of the cosmos, which flowed through her very bones and synced with the beating of her heart. As her gorgeous eyes opened, Harmonixia smiled and saw a world full of different tunes and harmonies.
"Resonate."
And, finally, with a single word, her voice echoed and linked everything around her with controlled resonance. A single word as profound as the very existence of the stars and as light as the flowing wind through the hair of a newly married bride.

Talents:
Passive Skills:
Description:
A Sylvan born from the last chaotic whisper that strung order after the storm of creation. She embodies the harmony that binds chaos into form. The Chaos Harmonia Sylvan governs resonance and balance, weaving order from dissonance and turning turmoil into melody. Should a Sylvan of this lineage reach full maturity, she would transcend, becoming the living principle of equilibrium that guides the rhythm of the cosmos.

Harmonixia was the one leading all the others. Using her newfound attribute, she noticed the link that connected her with the others. Then, feeling that everyone was done absorbing their gains, she spoke very gently. "Open your eyes. Our Liu Shu is waiting."
Outside, Liu Shu watched as all four Sylvans opened their eyes in perfect harmony. Even their gestures as they looked around moved as one, making her feel strangely discordant. And yet, a quiet voice within whispered that this was how things were always meant to be. That there was nothing strange when these four shared gestures.
The strange sensation only lasted for a few moments, though. After all four of them stirred awake, that connection broke, and each of them proceeded to act on their own.
Cinderielle stretched and grinned, happy. "Tiantian, love. Are you there? I miss you."
Verdantia patted her dress and smiled softly. "Liu'er, I've finally advanced. I hope you didn't wait too long."
Tempestria jumped twice before showing a faint and elegant smile. "I feel great. Shu'er, I will be able to help you from now on. My strength has skyrocketed."
Meanwhile, Harmonixia opened her mouth and made a few melodic sounds, as if warming up her vocal cords. Then, she nodded, satisfied. "Lian'er, love, when I sing for you again, you will love it dearly~."
Liu Shu giggled and answered all four of them. Keeping up four separate conversations was not the slightest bit complicated. So, she conversed with her dears, and all four of them ended up asking for permission to go to her
Naturally, the World Tree was delighted and agreed straight away. The listless Avatar jumped up, Liu Shu's consciousness drilling into it. The dim light in her eyes brightened, and Liu Shu looked at herself. "Hm~... I should clean myself a bit! After not moving for a while, I must smell a bit, no?"
In truth, she didn't really need to care much. After all, her body's natural scent was naturally flowery. Of course, scent aside, cleanliness was important!
