3731 Almost Sure

I released the breath and opened my eyes as I finished practicing the method.

I didn't immediately get up and instead closed my eyes and entered my core. There, I looked at the projection; seeing it, a smile appeared on my face.

This is the fifth time I am practicing the methods since I added the straren honey into the mix and its benefits are getting better and better every day.

They wouldn't have been so great. If the honey had been in the forest; there would be still good benefits, but not as great as they are now. It is all because of nectar that the bees are collecting through the precious plants.

I looked around, and what I saw made the smile on my face become even brighter.

Two days ago, I had made the changes.

I created portals, both islands; it is the for bees of both hives to move around the islands.

I have also covered every bee in a special formation that wouldn't let them sense or seed each other. It would also stop them if they were to go for the same plants.

I want the best honey from both hives and for that; I needed to give them access to all the plants on both islands. The bees have access to all the plants on both islands, except for one plant.

The hive of the second island is restricted from a metal-essence tree.

I am thinking about even restricting them from seedlings of the world tree. Many bees of the second hive are buzzing around it; I have a feeling that they are thinking of moving their hive to it, like the first hive.

I am quite conflicted about letting it do it or not.

I could hide the hives from each other. So, there shouldn't be any problem, but I liked having one hive on each island.

I pushed those thoughts away; I would make a decision when it was close to happening. There is a chance that it won't happen; it is only my guess after all.

These portals are where wise decision on my part as I could already feel, the quality of both honeys improving rapidly.

It is the job of these bees to create the perfect honey and for it, they chose only the plants that they feel are best to craft the honey they need. They wouldn't touch each other, even if they were filled with the nectars.

It is why, these bees only share 12% of the plants with each other, while the rest are different.

I checked the progress and collected the honey from both hives.

I had planned to hand this job to my clone but found out I enjoyed it. So, I begin to do it myself.

With honey collected, I had entered. I appeared at the door of the library and entered inside. There is a group of clones sitting on a table, with a holograph of a huge tree floating in front of them.

Only one clone is looking at it, while the rest of the five are looking at the huge sphere, or rather the formation.

It has been four days since I am studying the formation, but I have yet to understand it completely.

However, I have no choice but to take the risk of breaching it today. I have more time than I imagined, but I think, today they will be able to gather all the people and don't know what will happen then, but I want to be ready for whatever it is.

A few hours passed, and I opened my eyes.

I quickly ate the breakfast before walking out of my abode. There is a huge space around the two formations, and they have not only set the abodes but there is also a small market.

I looked at people and could tell, we only need eighty-nine people more.

I could it wouldn't take more than three days for them to get eight hundred people they need, but fewer people have come than they have expected.

People aren't idiots; they have found out. They are not letting the Earth Sovereigns out, once they are inside the dome. So, many are waiting outside, with only a few coming into the dome.

Which is good for me as it gave me the time; I need to study the tree.

I looked at the market longingly before walking toward the root circle. I wanted to visit the market and buy things, but I didn't have time. If I succeed and what is inside doesn't take too much of my time, I will come to the market.

There are many things in there that I want.

I sat down in my place and sent the string down, aware that one gaze was looking at me.

I am one of the few old people who are still sitting in the circles daily. It seemed to have attracted some suspicion, but they didn't stop me.

I took a deep breath and sent my string inside; it was smooth with slight resistance. I have done it so many times, that I know how much power I need to use it to breach it.

With it inside, my string moved fast and soon reached the big roots within minutes. It took forty-seven minutes to cross the maze of it before reaching the three.

I slowed down there a little and one and half an hour later, reached the core.

I looked at it before turning to my string, the amount of forbidden power lessened, till only a third of it remained.

More isn't always better.

I would have liked to have more time, but I didn't. I have to do it and only have one chance to succeed. Failure is not an option. If it did appear; I hope reactions wouldn't be big.

I kind of hoping for failure and this whole tree locking up.

With each passing day, the feeling of wrongness had deepened till, that now I am almost sure, that those bastards have a nefarious plan in mind.
