The other Goddess's words hit Xie Jianyu like a thunderclap. His heart pounded in his chest, and his palms were sweaty. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.
He whipped his head around to look at the Goddess next to him. "Is that true?" he asked, his voice trembling.
The Goddess looked back at him with a calm expression. [I do not have a reason to lie,] she said.
"How come?"
Xie Jianyu turned to look at the soul of his other self, who just asked the question.
"Why?"
[This is fate,] the other Goddess calmly stated. [The First Demon King had been biding his time for hundreds of years. This time, he is going to succeed. The balance of evil and good will tip heavily on the evil side thanks to his victory in this upcoming war.]
"We have to do something!" The soul insisted. "Goddess, there has to be something we can do to prevent it from happening!"
