Progress on my current project is getting faster rather quickly. I don’t think there really is a limit to how high I can go anymore, except maybe my own skill and patience, as I am striving to use the world simply as a convenient energy source and to let it learn. Well, there is also the benefit of getting it to do most of the grunt work, which definitely speeds up the process but isn’t necessary.

I am naturally talented at directly adding onto plants without instead of relying wholly on evolution. Of course I am, I have personally designed my body to be as good at manipulating plants as I possibly could, it would be weird if I wasn’t talented. That isn’t to say that I am good at it, compared to a normal person I am amazing if only because the average person can’t manipulate plants at all, but if I could master something like this in a day I could probably take on all of the True Immortals and win.

On a more serious note, I am slightly ashamed that I didn’t think to do this earlier and also really excited for the possibilities. It is much slower than having the world do everything for me, which is honestly probably why evolution is a thing in the first place. But at the same time I am only restricted by my skill and my imagination, whereas when I am relying on evolution I have to have starting materials that might justify the results I want, and even then I am still limited to pieces that the world has seen before.

I imagine that the main reason I am able to make progress as quickly as I am now is because creating mana is an inherent part of the plant. If I were to try and add something entirely new then it would probably be harder. I don’t actually know how to add something new, but I’m sure that if I know what I want to add then intention should bridge the gap, even if only slowly.

Other than that I spent my downtime mostly relaxing on my own. I decided to climb up to the top of the first tree I planted and watch the sunset, this one a brilliant blue. I remember when I first started to write this diary it only went up to my chest, now it is four times my height. I guess having a constant influx of mana can help a tree grow quickly. Or at least it does when fed to them by someone who knows how to do it, the stuff they produce naturally only becomes ambient mana.

I wonder how much taller they will grow? Will they reach into the sky? Will they reach past it to touch the moons? Will they stretch beyond that and grasp hold of the suns? Will whatever is past the inky darkness beyond the suns be forever cut off from me? I do not know, but I look forward to finding out in time.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
