Taking Shellback and temporarily leaving from deep within the Domain.
The two of them and the turtle arrived at Jasmine Hamilton’s apartment, only to unexpectedly see a figure standing in front of the apartment’s entrance.
The person looked at Scarlett Jennings, clearly having waited here for a long time.
"I knew it, if you came to the Otherworld, you would definitely come looking for her."
In front of the apartment door, the man’s figure was slender and tall. Despite not having seen him for a long time, Scarlett Jennings and the Shellback beside her recognized the person at a glance.
"Elias Quinn!"
To this "former maker" who had abandoned it, Shellback’s hostility and vigilance were all too obvious.
In Dashiell’s words, it was typical "love turned to hate."
Of course, Shellback wouldn’t admit to it.
"Why are you also in the Otherworld?! The Otherworld Heavens have already been sealed; your being here is useless!"
Instinctively, Shellback thought Elias Quinn had come for the Otherworld Heavens.
After all, he was selected as the Heavenly Path Envoy by the Heavenly Dao.
Looking at Shellback, whose size had doubled from before, Elias Quinn saw it still so spirited but didn’t pay much attention, simply saying,
"I know the Otherworld Heavens have been sealed, and I’m not here for It."
As he spoke, he looked at Scarlett Jennings,
"As for why I’m here, you’ll have to ask her."
Scarlett Jennings looked at Elias Quinn and said calmly,
"When the power of the Heavenly Dao interrupted the vortex, everything from the Otherworld was pushed back, except for the souls already deceased in the Otherworld."
Like Alicia Sharp, who had long since died in the Otherworld, so even if she was reborn from an Otherworld soul, she wouldn’t be forcibly sent back by the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Elias Quinn, also a successfully incarnated Otherworld soul, shouldn’t be sent back either.
Unless, like Shellback, he was contaminated by the power of the Heavenly Dao, even if their current bodies came from another world, they were deemed belonging to the Otherworld.
"Did you come to ask me to take you back to your original world?"
Scarlett Jennings asked him.
Opposite, Elias Quinn shook his head, "No, on the contrary, I want to stay in the Otherworld."
He said,
"I know you sealed the consciousness of the Otherworld Heavens within the same domain that was originally used to seal disasters, but as long as it’s a seal, there’ll always be unforeseen leaks. If you leave me, I can watch over the sealing of the Otherworld Heavens for you."
Upon hearing that he was still after the Otherworld Heavens, Shellback immediately wanted to refuse,
"Are you stupid, or do you think we’re stupid? What if you deliberately release the Otherworld Heavens?!"
This was definitely an undercover move; Scarlett Jennings surely couldn’t agree to it.
Shellback was adamant, but then saw Scarlett Jennings seriously considering his proposal, and after a while, she asked,
"If you stay, it means the you from the original world will cease to exist. Are you okay with that?"
Shellback, upon hearing she really wanted to let him stay, wanted to speak up, but its head was already pressed down by Samuel Chalmers’ hand.
Since Scarlett wanted him to stay, she must have her reasons.
Better shut up and listen.
Silenced manually, Elias Quinn clearly didn’t care about its opinion, only replying to Scarlett Jennings’ question,
"From the day my identity was exposed, the me from that world no longer existed."
He abandoned everything that belonged originally to Elias Quinn, including his parents.
He held onto the belief in the Otherworld Heavens, only to find out at some point, his faith in the Otherworld Heavens had also changed.
If Shellback was called a failure as a system,
then wasn’t he, as a Heavenly Path Envoy, a failure too?
Given that he couldn’t go back to the original world, he might as well stay; maybe one day, he could witness the demise of the Otherworld Heavens with his own eyes.
At least he wouldn’t betray their "partnership."
Shellback, as a system, was introduced to weaken a world’s Fortune from the start.
And Elias Quinn, was to find a way to open an interface between two worlds after weakening the world’s Fortune.
Scarlett Jennings hadn’t known these details before, but since becoming the Heavenly Dao, everything in the world was within her perception.
Thus, Scarlett Jennings naturally sensed the two-year disappearance of Elias Quinn after Addison was captured.
She also learned that he had long found the way to merge the two worlds.
Unlike Ashton Todd, he used the method of data extension.
He had long calculated the answer but hadn’t shared it with the Otherworld Heavens.
Otherwise, the Boundary Breaking Vortex could have descended when they were unprepared.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t know why he kept quiet, but she never believed he was evil.
If he hadn’t proposed it proactively, she might have let it be, but since he did...she was willing to give him a chance.
Samuel Chalmers watched her and suddenly asked,
"You’re not just offering him a chance to watch the seal, are you?"
He said,
"Do you want him to become another Otherworldly Manager?"
Shellback, originally shocked by Scarlett Jennings’ words, became completely agitated at Samuel Chalmers’ question.
"Why—should—I?!"
It barely tolerated its own situation but allowing someone like Elias Quinn to have the same treatment?!
It was indignant!
"Not possible at this stage."
Scarlett Jennings poked Shellback’s puffy turtle head, her almond eyes as clear and deep as a spring, casually continuing,
"We can continue to observe."
