Scarlett Jennings was not surprised at the Heavenly Dao’s ruthless consciousness.
When she took the sapling out of the domain ravaged by disaster, she discovered that the essence and consciousness of the Heavenly Dao had already separated.
The sapling in her hand was nothing more than a shell that had lost its soul.
Even so, Scarlett still glimpsed the truth of the Otherworld Heavenly Dao’s original creation of the otherworld from it.
"Back then, when spiritual power was depleted in the world, the Heavenly Dao split itself in half and created the otherworld, hoping to leave humanity with a glimmer of hope.
As the other half of the otherworld, you set rules at the creation of the otherworld, forbidding demons and ghostly spirits from stealing world spiritual power, yet the otherworld still headed towards destruction due to your indulgence...
Thus, you decided to abandon the otherworld and attempted to control this world that was no longer under the Heavenly Dao’s protection.
Moreover, your essence, exhausted by power, could no longer suppress the otherworld’s disasters, so you chose to abandon your essence and strip away your consciousness, vainly trying to merge the two worlds into one, thereby nurturing a new Heavenly Path Body..."
Scarlett narrated everything from the source of the Heavenly Dao with a gaze on the Otherworld Heavenly Dao that bore no sorrow or joy, but scrutiny.
She said,
"But all things in the world cannot be sustained through abandonment and seizure."
With the current consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, even if He succeeds in becoming this world’s Heavenly Dao, the world will still head towards destruction with endless consumption.
Knowing the truth, Scarlett would surely not let Him have his way.
Scarlett was merely expressing what she had glimpsed, yet she unintentionally touched the reverse scale of the Otherworld Heavenly Dao.
Golden light before her swayed violently, faintly revealing anger,
"You are not the Heavenly Dao, how do you know I cannot preserve the living beings of the world?"
He said,
"Why do you think your original world could continue without being devoured by disasters? That’s because during the otherworld’s division, the disasters of both worlds were suppressed by me! That’s something your world owes me!"
Turns out, the other half of the world’s Heavenly Dao would rather abandon Himself to preserve the living beings, demons, and ghosts, and those who knew the truth, like Scarlett, believed He was so great and selfless.
But little did they know, there was no fairness in what both worlds endured from the beginning.
He, as the Heavenly Dao, was not biased and cold-hearted from the start.
Yet day after day of suppressing the disasters of both worlds, trading with Shu’e for the otherworld, those pervasive dark forces gradually eroded His essence, and the darkness also began to grow in His heart.
He knew his consciousness had long been eroded by incessant disasters and evil thoughts.
But so what?
She is not the Heavenly Dao; how does she know He never tried for the otherworld?
Abandoning a dying world, retaining a world still abundant in spiritual energy, what wrong did He commit?
"Even when I decided to abandon the otherworld, I still gave the people of the otherworld a chance to live; otherwise, why would I expend the vast majority of my Power of Heavenly Path to ensure the otherworld returns with me?!"
The voice of the Otherworld Heavenly Dao pressed straighter down on Scarlett Jennings with immense pressure.
Yet Scarlett seemed unaffected, her gaze remaining steady on Him,
"Your bringing the otherworld along wasn’t due to attachment to the otherworld, but because you had no choice."
Even knowing the so-called "difficulties" of the Otherworld Heavenly Dao, Scarlett still logically rebutted His words,
"Because you are just the Otherworld Heavenly Dao. Even if you forcibly take over this world, you still won’t be accepted. Only by merging the otherworld and this world as one can you smoothly take over everything as the Otherworld Heavenly Dao."
She said,
"You’re not as righteous as you claim. If there weren’t any restrictions on you, you’d have chosen to abandon the otherworld from the start and allowed them to be consumed by disaster."

Golden light representing the Heavenly Dao suddenly brightened into blinding rays, transforming into several golden light blades that rushed towards Scarlett Jennings.
