Chapter 2631
“Put Lord Qisal’s worries at ease and that thing will fade away.” Aalejah said.

“Fine, I yield!” M’Rael ordered the guards to drop their weapons and deactivated the arrays before walking down the stairs toward Lith with his hands up. “The truth is that the World Tree isn’t interested in a mere census anymore.

“They have reached out to our colony in the hope that we would abandon our home and move to their Fringe. The Yggdrasill needs lots of manpower to preserve the knowledge they have accumulated and keep watching over Mogar once they leave.”

“Leave? To go where?” Faluel asked, glad to notice that the Chancellor’s change of attitude had quelled the Void’s rage.

“The World Tree is tired of sitting on their throne, always watching and never interfering in the events that take place on Mogar. The first World Tree took pride in this policy and passed it down to their successors, yet that pride turned into envy when the First Guardian appeared.

“Unlike the Yggdrasill, Tyris is an immortal being whose power wasn’t limited to a Fringe and who didn’t hesitate to leave her mark on history. Yet the First Guardian’s hand was soft, nudging and inspiring people but always letting them free to make their own choices.
