William parted ways with Nizemar and set off on a journey to the heart of Holy Tree City—the massive World Tree that seemed to touch the heavens.
As he approached the tree, William couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. The thick branches intertwined above him, and occasionally, dead leaves would fall like a blanket, causing those beneath the tree to scurry out of the way.
The tree's roots were a sight to behold as well, stretching out in a huge network that reached every corner of the city. The subtrees that made up the city's buildings were all connected to their mother, the World Tree, through this root network.
Not only was the World Tree massive, but it was also incredibly complex.
It was said that all kinds of plants from the Vic continent could be found on the World Tree, making it a complete ecosystem—or, as William thought of it, a living gene bank (if such a thing existed in this world).
