Angel had actually heard the Vine Demoness's murmur just now. He knew she had been asking him a question, but he had chosen not to respond.
Because once he responded, it would mean positioning himself as one who stood above civilization.
Though Dream Wilderness had been born because of him, he had never felt he possessed the right to stand above Dream Wilderness.
The birth of Dream Wilderness had been a coincidence, while the emergence of Tree Civilization had been inevitable.
Those who stood above civilization would eventually suffer civilization's backlash.
Angel could serve as a driving force, could become a guide, but he would absolutely never become one who stood above it.
Of course, perhaps he was overthinking it. Yet even without assigning himself such a position, he had never intended to speak with the Vine Demoness as someone "above the Mother Tree."
Still, the Vine Demoness had chosen to let a first-generation Dream Plant Fairy make contact with humans. That counted as a gesture of goodwill. Angel also felt that humans and Dream Plant Fairies did not truly have a conflict of interests. If they temporarily set aside the clash of civilizations, perhaps something new could change.
So, after pondering for a long time, Angel decided to do a little something.
Angel opened the Mother Tree Interlink. However, rather than going to the Tree Chat interface, he entered another section: the Mother Tree Forum.
The Mother Tree Forum was now far livelier than before.
Many non-confidential papers had been published on the forum.
Moreover, the Tree Chat development team had divided it into two entirely separate areas according to category.
One area did not involve the supernatural, while the other was closely connected to it.
Do not assume that the area unrelated to the supernatural was empty.
