Chapter 3049: Dawned Understanding
"…Tell me, Matriarch," the Emperor of Harmony asked as he pulled out his commpad, pulling up an image. "Did the white tree you mentioned look anything like this?"
He showed her the image of the manifold tree that powered the Kandrian Manifold.
The Boundless Light's wise eyes lit up with recognition. "…It's far smaller and immature compared to the specimen I saw, but I'm confident that it is of the same species."
Emperor Rael's expression crumpled with horror as he finally pieced together what had happened. He recalled Rui's testimony when it came to the Mellow Manifold, how the Mellow Manifold had resembled a small planetoid with its own day-light cycles despite only being a small island surrounded by a water body.
He recalled how Rui told him that anybody living in the Mellow Manifold would undoubtedly have come to the conclusion that the Mellow was the whole world, entirely unaware of the rest of the Panama Continent outside of it.
And now, it became painfully clear to the Emperor of Harmony that the same thing had happened to them.
"The Esoterist was right…" his eyes sharpened. "The true world was not spontaneously formed. It has existed for a long time outside of the Panama Manifold."
Everything finally made sense now.
They had been living in a manifold for who knew how long?
"Damian must have destroyed the manifold tree after breaking through to the Transcendent Realm, but the question is…"
His eyes sharpened.
"Where is he?"
