Chapter 591: A Victim's Dream of Safety (Part 3)

To'han, Non-Elemental Palace, two weeks later.

Across the entirety of the planet's surface, only two structures had ever been erected. The first and most important, was the Lord's Palace. A series of vast halls and dark corridors formed by the controlled growth of the most ancient tree of the planet, whose entwined branches formed the palace's walls, floors and roofs.

Originally built as an outpost used to scout the newly opened universe, the Lord's Palace was the place where the leader of the elemental faction resided. To those who lived by their faith, however, the Lord's palace was much more. It was the beating heart of the elementals' dream. The starting point from which their kin would be able to shape the universe into a home in which they wouldn't need to worry about being hunted down and harvested to near extinction.

A universe where nature could flourish without being exploited by greed.
