Meanwhile, back in the Paradise World, the Saintesses of the Temple finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Wang had gained the upper hand; Jiang Wang had a chance to kill the Tree God.
Things were looking up; everything was developing in a positive direction.
"I was so anxious! Thankfully, Jiang Wang gained the advantage. This time, we can finally end everything."
"I have to say, the Tree God's strength is truly astonishing, but Jiang Wang can't possibly lose."
"I predicted it all along; Jiang Wang would definitely win."
The blindfolded Saintess said excitedly, believing Jiang Wang's success was a matter of course.
Although she had seemed incredibly anxious earlier, eager to join the battle and share Jiang Wang's burden,
it could be said that she didn't really have much confidence in Jiang Wang. It's strange for her to say these things now.
But it doesn't matter; her concern for Jiang Wang is genuine, and knowing that is enough.
"That was truly a difficult battle. I didn't expect he could actually achieve victory against the odds."
"I completely failed to grasp his strategy during the battle."
"Those subtle moves were concealed well enough to succeed."
"After confusing the opponent, the plan could proceed smoothly."
"But even with such a perfect plan, why did Jiang Wang still allow the Tree God to dodge? Otherwise, the Tree God would already be dead."
"Could it really be as Jiang Wang said, that the Supreme Consciousness is helping the Tree God? Why? That guy's a jerk."
Although the Aurora Saintess didn't know the Tree God personally,
she was very clear that he was a jerk.
This Tree God was about to wipe out the Elven and Dragon races without a second thought.
Admittedly, he was doing it for revenge, and the Aurora Saintess wouldn't say revenge was wrong.
However, she still felt that this guy was a bit too extreme.
Even if his revenge was justified, it didn't mean he was right.
Moreover, the Tree God's various actions during the battle did indicate something.
This guy was a true jerk.
The Aurora Saintess didn't understand why the Supreme Consciousness would interfere in the battle and choose a target to help.
Why not choose Jiang Wang instead of the Tree God? It was simply incomprehensible.
"…"
Faced with the Aurora Saintess's series of remarks, the Omniscient Saintess remained silent.
She knew very well what the Supreme Consciousness's actions represented.
Without a doubt, if the Supreme Consciousness chose order, He would help Jiang Wang.
But the Supreme Consciousness chose to help the Tree God.
The Supreme Consciousness had ulterior motives.
The Temple had long ago targeted the Supreme Consciousness's actions and made a series of judgments.
But the result was inconclusive because the matter was too difficult to handle.
There wasn't much evidence to show that the Supreme Consciousness actually existed.
If it weren't for being able to capture some glimpses of His agents, the Temple would have thought that the Supreme Consciousness was just a "theory."
Now, through the large screen in front of her, the Omniscient Saintess learned the truth.
The Supreme Consciousness did exist, and He had ulterior motives.
The Temple had analyzed and concluded that the Supreme Consciousness existed for the sake of order.
But in fact, this order was the order under His jurisdiction.
He would never allow disharmonious voices to appear in the ninety million worlds; He must be the supreme and only existence.
Therefore, when faced with Jiang Wang and the Tree God, when the Supreme Consciousness had to make a choice,
after careful consideration, He chose the Tree God.
And His purpose, of course, was to kill Jiang Wang.
The Tree God represented order, but Jiang Wang also represented order.
The former's order required a great war, and then the Supreme Consciousness would allow the top realm to decline again.
The latter's order was the new world that Jiang Wang might create.
In fact, from the perspective of order, both had their pros and cons.
It could even be said that Jiang Wang's choice would be better.
Choosing the Tree God meant choosing a super war.
In this war, many people would die, and many worlds would be destroyed.
But if Jiang Wang was chosen, then the great war would not appear, and everything could proceed smoothly.
It was in such a situation that, even though Jiang Wang was the optimal solution, the Supreme Consciousness chose the Tree God.
Because the Supreme Consciousness had ulterior motives; the premise of maintaining order was that He must control everything.
Therefore, this time's choice was not based on the perspective of order,
but on the perspective of threat level.
Jiang Wang, a person with Sixth Layer strength, then relied on merging with the Seventh Layer strength Nightmare King.
He defeated the strong with the weak, and almost killed the Quasi-God, who was close to the Eighth Layer.
Or rather, Jiang Wang's plan had already succeeded.
If the Supreme Consciousness hadn't taken special measures to forcibly reverse the situation,
then the Tree God would already be dead, there was no doubt about it.
If Jiang Wang could kill the Tree God now, what could he do next? The Supreme Consciousness didn't dare to think about it.
Therefore, the Supreme Consciousness decisively took action and helped the Tree God.
He created a small "coincidence" that allowed the Tree God to react in times of crisis.
The Supreme Consciousness made this choice not for the sake of order.
He just felt that Jiang Wang was a scourge and a very high threat.
He had to find a way to kill Jiang Wang.
With the Tree God alive, everything else would be easy to arrange.
The Omniscient Saintess understood everything; she knew why the Supreme Consciousness did this.
But she didn't plan to explain it to her disciples.
Even if she said such things, it wouldn't make much sense.
Her two disciples were only at the Fifth Layer, and they were also members of the Temple.
The Temple, most of the time, would not be targeted by the Supreme Consciousness.
After all, they were good helpers in safeguarding order.
The members of the Temple were probably the furthest away from the Supreme Consciousness.
"So, the Supreme Consciousness chose the Tree God this time. Does He seem to be standing on the side of evil?"
"Or rather, from the perspective of the Supreme Consciousness, is it useless to talk about right and wrong, black and white?"
"In the eyes of the Supreme Consciousness, everything is probably gray. The most important thing is His interests, followed by order."
The Omniscient Saintess suddenly felt disgusted.
Chapter 1189: Master of Escape
The Tree God, dragging his body that was only one-third intact, was accelerating his escape.
Staying to continue fighting would only be waiting for death. Escaping was what he was best at.
At the same time, in terms of the essence of this battle, escaping was the most beneficial move for him.
"You've decided to run now? I really find it hilarious. What are you trying to do?"
"You shouldn't have come over here in the first place. Wouldn't it have been better to resolve the mess with the Elven race and stabilize your realm?"
"You just had to come here to seek death. Now, how are you going to deal with this?"
Jiang Wang's speed was very fast. He burst forth in the void and quickly caught up with the Tree God.
The Tree God's expression looked extremely gloomy. How could he have predicted such a situation back then?
Judging previous choices based on current results was somewhat inappropriate.
Even super intellectuals with amazing wisdom cannot predict the future with 100% accuracy.
What was the Tree God's level of wisdom? It could only be said to be quite ordinary and easily swayed by emotions.
If he were smart enough, he wouldn't have ended up in such a situation. All of this was his own fault.
Honestly, before the Tree God rushed over here, he would never have thought that things would turn out this way.
Are you kidding me? With his super strength approaching the Eighth Layer, could he not handle such a situation?
No matter how you looked at it, he had an absolute advantage and would definitely crush everyone in the Paradise World.
But the result was shocking. Instead, he was the one being beaten, and it was a 100% suppression.
The Tree God was now unable to resist Jiang Wang; he could only be passively beaten.
