Growing

Whisker appeared in the Soul Space, moving next to Pearl while he said his final goodbye. Whisker remained next to him as a brother and a friend for Pearl during this time. 

After Pearl finished saying his final goodbyes to his father's corpse, Alex pushed it away toward the formation that was around the World Tree.

The corpse got closer and closer to the World Tree, and when it finally reached it, the World Tree's free roots moved around the corpse, capturing it and taking it in.

The roots slowly wrapped around the entire corpse and started pulsing as they began absorbing the corpse.

"It will take some time," Alex said. "It took about 5 hours to fully take away the Dragon Emperor's body. It should take much longer now."

"That's alright. I'll stay and watch," Pearl said.

Alex said nothing and let Pearl do that.
