I think it might have something to do with the way Liches expand territory when they gain levels, so if the game has to force the Lich to gain another planet due to a lack of planets under its control, so too does it force it to gain a level. In-universe reasoning might be that he's been observing you this whole time and learning and growing stronger from it or something.
