Rosa slowly opens her eyes but she only sees darkness. She notices the familiar darkness and she uses her soul vision ability. As she adapts her eyes to the changes in vision, a voice rings out from within her head but she is no longer surprised.
[Congratulations to the host for completely synchronizing with your new body. You have now remembered your past memories, and your human form has been unlocked for use. For further information, you may view your status screen.]
Without any further delay, Rosa views her status screen unresponsive towards the system voice.

"Why is it that only my human form is unlocked but not my other abilities?"
[Host has unlocked your human form because it doesn't require any energy, spiritual or soul. However, your locked abilities require the use of spiritual energy, of which you do not have any.]
"Hmm..... is it because of my non-existent spiritual cultivation. I guess they do require spiritual energy. But, why can't I use plant manipulation. Looking from the description of the ability, I am their queen and thus, I am able to manipulate them. It doesn't seem to require any energy to operate."
[You can indeed manipulate them to grow as you wish. But you need to spend energy corresponding to the growth increase. And since the growth is physical, you need to use your spiritual energy but as you already know, you don't have any spiritual cultivation.]
"I get it now, you do not have to elaborate too much on it. But I have been wondering about this for a while now. Why is spiritual energy called spiritual when it is clear that it is used for physical strengthening and growth?"
[Spiritual energy is called spiritual because it nourishes the body's spirit and not the body itself. As you nourish the spirit, your body follows behind in order to accommodate the growing spirit. You may think that the spirit and the soul are the same, but it isn't. People mistake them for one another because nourishing the spirit also influences the soul to some extent.
It is also the reason why you were able to develop a string of thought but that is it. It may influence the soul but it is miniscule. You could only develop it due to the vast amount of available energy. It is also proven to be true because as spiritual cultivation increases, so does the reaction speed and reflex of a person. However, it isn't enough to increase your soul cultivation.]
"So my body instinctively forsake spiritual cultivation for soul cultivation because I was looking to develop my conscience. But since the energy is so potent here, there was a very slow increase in my spiritual energy which was accumulated within me which in turn, was used up to create my human form. Is my speculation correct?"
[You are indeed correct.]
"So, has it been another 10,000 years already? I recall reliving through every single moment."
[It has only been a week host.]
Silent reigns for a while as Rosa takes the opportunity to understand what she had just heard. Then, she speaks(more like screams) in an unnaturally high pitched voice, "WHHHAAAT.... How can that be true? I remember them so clearly like I it was just yesterday. It is impossible that only a week has passed."
[I did inform the host beforehand that it would at most take a week.]
"I know that but it felt like a millennium rather than a week to me. I would have already gone insane if I didn't know what to look forward to."
[You definitely felt like that but it was only that, a feeling. Our mind and body plays tricks on us that we can't perceive when we have been cheated. But the host didn't have to be worried. This system stimulated your memorizing capabilities to the fullest to remember all of them in one session only after careful consideration. After all that you had been through, this system knew that it would only be a minor setback. And seeing that the host is still sane and capable of holding conversations, this system was correct in doing so.]
Rosa slowly calms down while listening to the system's explanation. As she calms down, she lets go of this overall situation. She suddenly remembers that she had unlocked her human body form. She is very excited as she can finally move and most importantly, she could finally see. She could use her soul vision ability and all but it was still very taxing on her soul energy.
Without thinking anymore, she inquires to the system of her curiosity, "How do I change to my human form system?"
[The host only needs to will it to happen and it will automatically happen. Your.....]
Not giving a chance for the system to speak further, she hurriedly wills her body to transfer into a human form. Suddenly, she is bombarded by soul tearing pain all over her body. Unprepared and unable to withstand the pain, she faints.
{{{~Notice that she was unresponsive when she was first congratulated by the system. She is slowly controlling her emotions but she can still overreact when she gets surprised. She is still a long way from being able to maintain proper control over her emotions. Granted that any normal people would have reacted the same way. But do not forget that she had experienced things that normal people wouldn't.~}}}
