Immediately afterward, All Things was activated.
Fresh saplings continuously spread outward.
In less than three seconds, the entire space was packed with lush, towering trees.
"Found you!"
As the entire space was filled with Isshiki's "Forest of All Creation" and "All Things."
He moved through the dense fog and thick forest as though he were the absolute ruler of the place.
