The thoughts of humans had a significant influence on the evolution of plants. As a result, the characteristics that emerged through plant evolution were all beneficial to humans. It's almost as if plants evolved for the sake of humans. It all began with the birth of the Gabeto tribe.

They were a human mutation, born with unique cells that allowed them to release energy while in contact with the earth. In this world, there was originally energy obtained through contact with the earth, known as earth energy. The cells of the Gabeto tribe amplified and released this energy. In other words, they became an energy source while in contact with the earth. These cells gave humans the aspect of being an energy source.

Here's the remarkable part: the energy released by the Gabeto tribe surpassed the originally minimal earth energy, due to the sun's contribution of solar energy to the Earth. Previously, plants had relied on solar energy for their life activities. However, species that began to utilize earth energy gradually emerged.

This change quickly began to have a profound impact on the ecosystem. The amount of earth energy released by the Gabeto tribe exceeded solar energy. This became evident as species utilizing earth energy prospered at an unprecedented rate in Earth's history. In the blink of an eye, species utilizing earth energy multiplied rapidly. As a result, the majority of species relying on solar energy for their life activities went extinct.

The terrestrial ecosystem that had evolved over billions of years disappeared in just under a century, replaced by species utilizing earth energy. However, this led to fierce competition among species that relied on earth energy. Survival in this competition depended on how much of the energy released by the Gabeto tribe they could absorb, which determined their proximity to the Gabeto tribe.

Naturally, this influenced the direction of evolution. Species that possessed advantageous traits for the Gabeto tribe could stay closer to them. The prosperity of a species was determined by how effectively they could evolve to be beneficial to the Gabeto tribe. This environment persisted for thousands of years.

As a result, human thoughts were deeply reflected in the plants, and every species underwent unique evolution. Among these evolutions emerged the plant known as the "Tree of Life." It indeed evolved for the benefit of humans. However, humans were unable to handle it. The life forms evolved for the sake of humans were gradually transforming the very nature of humanity itself.
