It was all thanks to Lin Yu's sudden whim of keeping his clone in a state of deep fusion with the World Tree. Otherwise, the World Tree's will wouldn't have been able to achieve this.
Because even though the two were connected mentally (and spiritually) through the Territory Core, this connection was more of a codependent relationship. Both sides remained distinct individuals.
'Nice! This way, when I don't know which to choose in the future, I don't have to save them up. I can just let the World Tree help me pick!'
'Still, I get the feeling this clone won't be able to separate from the World Tree fusion from now on. My connection to the Territory Core is already strengthening as my Lord Level and Territory Core Level increase. If I add this active fusion with the Core on top of that, I might even be able to turn the World Tree into a clone someday.'
'Be a lord or be the World Tree? There's no choice to be made. I can have it all.'
