310 Wealth in The Palm of One's Hand

Unaware of Lilith's complicated thoughts, Leon arrived at the foot of the World Tree and began ascending with Divine Will. 

The soldiers and palace guards did not need his direct supervision in dealing with the aftermath of the battle and knew what to do. They were trained to handle situations like this and had a steady chain of command. It would be too arrogant and conceited of him to believe they need his leadership.

300fts… 400fts… 500fts…

Leon continued to ascend along the trunk of the World Tree. The higher he flew, the denser the spirit energy in the air became. 

"If my speculations are correct, then… It should be possible for me to reach the crown." Leon thought as he was drawing closer to 600ft altitude, even though the World Tree is over 10 thousand feet high.

No, the World Tree has grown slightly taller in the days he had been away. 10 thousand feet was just the initial height of World-level trees.
