At the Secret Forest Will's reproach, the God Trees all looked like children who had done something wrong.
They lowered their heads and said nothing.
Only the Merciful God Tree looked rather proud, wearing the smug expression of a child praised by her mother.
"And although the Merciful God Tree is loving, she lacks the will to fight."
"I don't consider her a good candidate to serve as the Secret Forest's guardian god, either."
"That is why I have never initiated the divine selection all these years."
"To let you compete to become a suitable Secret Forest God."
"I also created the Fairy Race, waiting for them to produce a suitable demigod."
Luo Yu was speechless.
The Secret Forest Will thought the warlike God Trees enjoyed fighting too much.
Then she complained that the Merciful God Tree couldn't fight.
No winning either way, huh!
"May I ask a question?"
Luo Yu asked politely.
He had never quite understood the relationship between a Plane Guardian God and a plane will.
Now that a plane will was right before him, he could finally get everything cleared up.
"Guest from Blue Star, please ask."
The Secret Forest Will's voice rang out, filled with divinity.
She was extremely friendly toward Luo Yu.
"What exactly does a plane will represent?"
"Why do you need to choose a god?"
Luo Yu asked.
The Secret Forest Will said softly, "A plane will is the consciousness of the plane itself."
"We have existed since the moment our planes were born."
"You can think of it in terms of a human and their self-awareness."
"Simply regard us as the planes themselves."
Luo Yu nodded in understanding.
That was pretty much the conclusion he had reached during his earlier idle speculation.
Seeing this, the Secret Forest Will continued her explanation.
