The planet gathered the collective karma of all lifeforms to form its own; its rise and fall depended on the overall fate and fortune of its people. It was mutually beneficial and mutually destructive.
If the planet's overall karma, fate, and fortune were positive, it would experience positive growth and development, warding off potential disasters and calamities. Even individuals with bad karma, fate, or fortune would be protected to a certain degree.
However, if the planet's overall karma, fate, and fortune were negative, the planet risked extinction-level events.
When Vaan realized the new life planet wielded the power of causality and felt establishing a binding connection with him, he immediately cut himself off from the collective network with the power of thought.
