What bizarre evolutionary forces could have led to the development of three humanoid species so wildly different from each other, yet in such close proximity?

— Hal Jordan

Synopsis for "Star Cycle!"

It's been five weeks since his exile began, and Hal Jordan hasn't received any order from the Guardians. Suddenly, a Guardian communicates through his Power Battery, indicating him to go to the planet M'Brai, without explaining the situation. Upon arrival, he finds two humanoid species - one more primitive than the other - warring at each other. He interferes and takes sides against the technologically advanced species, assuming they are invaders. He gets struck by a beam and falls unconscious until a third species rescues him. He learns that all three sides - the savages, the advanced Queln, and the Cormm, a third species caught in the middle of the fighting - are all natives of M'Brai. Hal can't comprehend how three species with different evolutionary processes can live on the same planet. The Cormm asks Hal for his help to prevent the extinction of either species.

Following the reports of another attack, Green Lantern and the Cormms go to the battle. A Queln ship spots them and fires a devolving ray that inverts the evolution of the target. After saving some Queln from death, Hal attempts to question them, but they knock him unconscious and take him prisoner.

Hal wakes up in a liquid prison in the Queln's fortress, where he overhears some men planning to expose the whole planet with their devolving rays and destroy all inferior races. Suddenly, a Queln with a scar on his face - the same he previously saw in a Cormm - walks into the room, and Hal finally understands the secret of this planet.

Synopsis for "Paradise World!"

Jeryll, the female Green Lantern of Glirell, gets involved in a fight between two citizens. In that world, violence is forbidden, so Jeryll tries to stop the fighting peacefully. However, one of the fighters throws her at a wall, and she accidentally hits him with a fist she formed with her Power Ring. The people of Jeryll see her as a blasphemer, even her lover, and she is taken to the high council of Glirell for violating their peaceful way of life, and is warned that another use of her power will result in her banishment. Unfortunately, slavers from the world of Drel choose that moment to attack. When she flies off to stop the fighting, but the council reminds her of their decree to do it without violence.
