And so, in that ancient time, just before the great war between various forces broke out, witnessed by all the intelligent races of the world, that towering tree vanished from the center of the world in full view of everyone.

Once the justification for war was gone, the war naturally and quietly disappeared.

Finally, it's quiet.

Having reclaimed its physical form, "He" finally regained the right to quietly observe the terrarium.

As time passed, after "He" retrieved the vessel, most races gradually forgot about the giant tree that had once existed.

Only the race that chose faith over possession passed on that memory in a unique way.

Although no living human has ever seen the giant tree, they still firmly believe in its existence.

After noticing all this, "He" would occasionally offer some revelations to this relatively weak race.

These "miracles" that occurred throughout history further strengthened the faith of humankind.

Over thousands of years, the religion known as Tree Worship Church has thus taken deep root within the human race.

Time has passed, circumstances have changed, and thousands of years have flown by in the blink of an eye.

As one world evolves, "He" occasionally adds new substances to it, causing it to expand and extend outwards.

However, at a certain moment, a rift spanning worlds suddenly appeared in the Sea of Psionic Energy outside of one world.

"He" quickly became aware of what was happening, shifting his attention from one world to the pollution gushing from the crack.

The filth from another world is constantly polluting all the Psionic Energy in this world, like sewage being dumped into the ocean; there is no corner that can escape it.

And "He" quickly realized that the rift was not something that appeared naturally, but was manually opened from another world.

However, with its current power, "He" was unable to close or seal this rift.

As the only naturally born consciousness in the Sea of Psionic Energy, "He" had never been threatened in the long years before.

Therefore, "He" never aimed to become stronger, just like a whale that doesn't strive to grow bigger, but instead becomes engrossed in observing the coral reefs on the seabed.

The contamination of Psionic Energy symbolizes the contamination of a part of "His" body. At this moment, some time after His birth, "He" experienced the feeling of "weakness" for the first time.

Faced with a threat from another world, "He" made the choice that all intelligent beings would make --

Protecting the items you cherish, namely the ecosphere that embodies your hard work.

Its illusory and formless body completely enveloped a world, gradually merging with the vessel it originally created, resisting external pollution while allowing life within to continue.

However, the power of pollution continued to intensify over time, and finally, at a certain moment, the barrier Incarnation by "He" could no longer resist this erosion and pollution. As a result, the invisible protective shield suddenly collapsed, and the polluted Psionic Energy rushed into a world like seawater overflowing.

This cataclysmic event that swept across the entire world was later called the " Demonic Tide" by the creatures of one particular world.

For a conscious being like "He," there is no such thing as true death.

However, the long-term pollution and erosion still caused "His" body to be torn to pieces, and his consciousness fell into a complete slumber.

The tearing of "His" body by pollution is not a physical shattering, but a conceptual dismantling.

He saw his mutilated body fall into a world, and his Authority was divided into three parts: bone, flesh, and spirit.

The Authority belonging to "bone" entered the foundation that constructs a world, namely, all plants.

The power belonging to "flesh" was bestowed upon the creations that had never forgotten "Him" for thousands of years, and brought them a final revelation.

The part belonging to the "spirit" unexpectedly embarked on another path --

The fall of Creator- level being was like a heavy hammer blow to the barrier between two worlds.

A rift briefly appeared in the world, accompanied by a surge of Psionic Energy, and "His" spirit was drawn into another world.

That world had no Psionic Energy; everything was made of matter, and it showed no signs of pollution. Life forms similar to its own creations roamed everywhere.

The moment Descent this world, His spirit became aware of a possibility—

This world is the next target of that terrible pollution.

After His "spirit" was absorbed into this world, the connection between the two worlds was once again completely severed.

But "He" is not worried about this; as time goes by, the barrier between the two worlds will only become thinner and more Fragility as pollution erodes it.

Once a certain limit is reached, the pollution will rush into this world like a torrent breaking through a dam, transforming it into a hell that is no different from its own world.

Similarly, at some point in the future, one's "spirit" will be able to travel freely between the two worlds and build bridges, thanks to the status of the Creator.

The point in time when I will be able to travel freely in the future will definitely be before the point of complete collapse.

Having realized these things, "Spirit" chose to integrate into this world, attempting to find a way to save the Sea of Psionic Energy and a certain world, while waiting for the opportunity to return to arise.

The "spirit" that comes into this world still maintains its original habits; it resides in some people and calmly watches them live their lives from the perspective of an observer.

Whenever an observed being dies, He finds another to observe, and even experiences this life form firsthand.

He also wanted to know how these lives would survive in a world without Psionic Energy and purely constructed of matter; perhaps He could use this knowledge in the future.

He wandered in this way in another world for a long time, so long that his own memories almost became confused with those of the observed, until finally he waited for that opportunity.

The call of fate led the "spirit" to once again cross the barriers between worlds and return to the world of its birth.

However, over the long years, His vessel had long since decayed, His Authority had been scattered, and even the vast amount of information and memories preserved in the "spirit" had become confused due to the intense impact.

But new Vitality will be born from death. His spirit, bones, and flesh, guided by fate, will gather at the point in time and space that he senses.

He accomplished the resurrection in some form.

Aside from being a little weak, it has no side effects.
