Gon finally reaches the top of the tree and soon Ging approaches him. Not long after this, Gon sees the top of the tree. As he continues to climb, he assists a man who had collapsed from exhaustion. He is amazed by the tree itself as soon as his fingers touch the bark, he feels its life as it flows throughout the entire tree. Gon begins his climb, enjoying the view as he goes. He is also advised by the man stationed there that he should probably not trust the handholds and footholds left behind by other climbers. Gon, before climbing the tree, is made to sign a document stating he is prepared for whatever might happen on the climb.
While on his way to climb the World Tree, Gon reminisces about the reason he became a Hunter, and all the trials he had to overcome throughout his journey. Gon climbs the largest tree ever seen, the World Tree. During their talk, Gon remembers to give the Double-Star Hunter License that Kite gave him back to Ging, the original owner. Meanwhile, his friends keep following their separate ways, each one of them with their own dreams and goals to pursue. Throughout this conversation, Ging reveals his intentions to explore the world beyond the current boundaries known to mankind and Gon tells him of all his adventures.

Gon climbs to the top of the World Tree where Ging is expecting him, and the two finally have a heart to heart talk.
