When leaving Starry Sky City, Rod felt somewhat reluctant.
Although his stay here was brief, it felt as though a long time had passed, a transformation so vast that he was no longer the person he was when he first arrived.
This metamorphosis was unprecedented, as he grew here not only in strength.
Reflecting back now, he realized that he was just a child before, making minor achievements under the shelter of towering trees.
Now, he was about to become a towering tree himself. While not the largest, he could stand alone.
