Whether it's Gemez Fortress or the Dark Stars, a question arose in their minds: Why did the prohibition of the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms fail?
Gemez Fortress instinctively looked towards the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms on the God Star, without even glancing at Little Sapling.
And those Dark Stars did the same, directly incinerating the prohibition's roots that had turned into Tree People.
They were originally sent by Lania's web-like paths to explore; each one had the freedom of its own body, independent of the others. Their current bodies had no soul contact with their true bodies, each operating independently. Their true bodies currently were without consciousness, unmastered Dark Stars.
However, Lania's web-like paths would protect their true bodies. As long as they left here, they could return to their true bodies, becoming powerful Dark Stars second only to God Stars.
With such a fallback, how could they willingly be controlled by Gemez Fortress?
