Under the effects of the song, the Origin Seed finally responded.
The light around it intensified, and it could no longer retain its form. It expanded and unfolded like a sprout breaking free.
The Origin Seed began to grow rapidly. Roots extended, branches appeared.
As Cecilia's singing deepened and filled with emotions of yearning and heartfelt wish, the seed answered.
Soon, a sapling formed. Radiant and pure, its presence filled the space with what it lacked… vitality.
Although this white space was now filled with colors, it couldn't be said to be alive. But now, with the appearance of the sapling, the space finally seemed full of life.
A stark contrast to its previous appearance.
Reinhardt watched silently. For once, even he felt a trace of awe.
This… was the birth of the World Tree.
A phenomenon that would lead the world to its dawn.
That said, life is an inseparable compound of good and evil. You cannot have the peak without the depth of the low moments.
