Some time latter…
Everything is normal… why?
Why the tree finally stopped doing what it did, well, it just lost its energy after a while of being all crazy, it’s "just a plant", so, yeah…
Necron mistakenly believed that Kuja was actually acting on behalf of all creation – that life and the universe no longer wanted to exist, and so was more than willing to send everything back into formless, primeval chaos. Defeating Necron proved that life and order still wanted to exist, against what Kuja’s misguided actions might have meant, and so Necron had no choice but to return to whatever dark void it was born in, awaiting a time where creation will cease to exist.
Accordingly, once Necron was destroyed and Kuja died, the Crystal also simply returned to wherever it was originally spatially located (hence, why it’s shown in the very last moments after the end credits have completed).

Yes but they dont show us how Zidane escapes and what hapend to Lifa Tree.Also what hapend to Kuja…..well probably died but if he did how Zidane escaped?
Most likely though, Mikoto probably helped him escape too, as she too was left behind when the Lindblum and Alexandrian Airforces departed (she’s shown standing on a root looking up at the Tree, when Zidane is narrating in ‘voice over’ about Kuja).
Kuja on the other hand, almost definetely died, either when he collapsed in Zidane’s arms or when the roots crashed down on them. No other explanation is needed for him really.
Incidentally, the Japanese FFIX Ultimania books apparently explain all of FFIX’s plotlines and story, so I assume they would therefore finally explain how Zidane managed to survive and whether Kuja perished or not. But, as those books are unavailable outside the land of the rising sun (and are not avaialble in English either), they guard their secrets to all but those lucky enough to read Japanese fluently. Sigh…
