1. Transformation of Planets and Moons
Atmospheric Thickening
The Second World Trees absorbed raw mana and emitted purified mana into the air, causing atmospheres to thicken.
This process created breathable air and stabilized temperatures, enabling life to thrive even on previously inhospitable worlds.
Lakes of Mana
Around each World Tree, massive lakes of mana formed, glowing with vibrant energy.
These lakes became sources of immense power, supporting new ecosystems and serving as sanctuaries for mana-based creatures.
Soil and Gas Solidification
Planets and moons with gaseous surfaces, such as Jupiter and Saturn, began to solidify, forming rich, fertile soils.
Previously barren terrains on rocky planets like Mercury and Venus transformed into lush, verdant landscapes.
Galactic Influence
These changes weren't limited to the solar system. Across galaxies, countless planets and moons experienced similar transformations, becoming havens for life and exploration.
