Five-Colored once tried to use himself to transform the evil thoughts of Shu’e.
But after Shu’e wandered in the Mortal Realm for thousands of years, he experienced too many evil thoughts and finally realized that Shu’e’s existence was not something he could transform with just the Phoenix Divine Soul.
The Mortal Realm is full of suffering, sufferings may decrease, but they cannot disappear.
Later, he became enlightened.
He shouldn’t have thought he could completely eradicate the world’s evil thoughts; he just needed to subdue Shu’e. Even if new evil thoughts arose in the Mortal Realm, without Shu’e to congeal them, they would not become disasters.
From the moment he departed from Shu’e, Five-Colored had thought of the method to thoroughly subdue Shu’e.
That is to let him return to the place he was originally supposed to go back to.
So he gave up merging with the Three Tree Divine Soul to be reborn, but instead used the excuse of repairing his Divine Soul to approach Ivan.
Because Ivan and his goals were aligned.
Once, Shu’e also asked him why he was determined to go against him.
Confronting Shu’e, suppressing the world’s evil thoughts, was never the Phoenix’s mission.
No one ever asked him to do so.
Five-Colored remembered his reply at that time was,
[Indeed, no one asked me to do this. I do all of this... simply because I want to.]
And now, the Misfortune Cave in the Underworld needed a suppressive object, and he would be the best for the job.
...
When Scarlett Jennings heard Ivan say the new suppressive object was the Phoenix Divine Soul, she only felt a buzzing in her mind.
It was as if she was back to the moment when she learned about her mother’s decision to stay in the Otherworld as the suppressive object to prevent disaster.
She could understand her actions.
But she still couldn’t accept it.
She always felt that there wouldn’t be only one solution to the world’s problems.
Even if Shu’e was temporarily sealed within her Domain, it wouldn’t be corroded by the mire for a while.
Why was there such a rush?
Did Samuel Chalmers know about his decision?
Thoughts flipped in her mind as she looked at Ivan in front of her but didn’t argue with him. Instead, she raised her leg, intending to break into the Ghost Gate.
Ivan seemed to know her plan and raised his hand to block her path.
"Step aside!"
Scarlett Jennings scolded in a low voice.
She once thought that after their confession under the Sage Tree, they had shared their hearts and been honest with each other.
But this collaboration between Five-Colored and Ivan, he never told her or Samuel Chalmers from the beginning to the end.
This was not what friends should do.
No matter how much he wanted to make amends for the evil results planted six thousand years ago, he shouldn’t let Five-Colored fill the void with the Divine Soul.
It wasn’t that Ivan didn’t see the blame in her eyes, but he still blocked her from entering,
"It’s too late."
The body of Shu’e had entered the Misfortune Cave, and Five-Colored was now suppressing the Underworld. Even if she rushed there now, it would be too late.
Unless...
As if in response to his words, a sudden phoenix’s cry emanated from within the Ghost Gate.
It was like a signal; in the Otherworld, countless birds fluttered.
The sky was instantly covered with flocks of birds and flying creatures, and with them, Scarlett Jennings could see strands of black evil thoughts gathering towards the Ghost Gate and pouring in.

Setting the Ghost Gate in the Otherworld without permission was a violation; as the Otherworld Heavens, Zaraiah even had the right to erase everything that entered the Otherworld.
