If he reasoned backward from the fact that it "couldn't interfere forcefully."
The second "problem" in the entire plan could also be explained.
That was, since He Ao had already reached this sea region, why did the person behind the scenes still need to "push" He Ao through the connecting passage and back to the Main World?
This Historical World might have been found by the hidden god and brought into contact with the Main World in some way, in order to locate the Main World.
In other words, It could definitely find this world, and this sea region was the core area of the entire plan. This should be the area where It had the most power.
If He Ao had been the hidden god, he would not have bothered with all this. He would have simply used his abilities to forcefully control the target and gone over.
Guidance and coercion were methods used only when the gap in power was not that great, or when one's power was restricted.
They had already reached Its home turf. Why bother with so many methods?
If It could not control the target, It should just kill him outright. Delay could breed complications.
That was the optimal solution.

Perhaps manipulating this kind of convergence required enormous effort and tied It down.
Or perhaps It was not nearby at all, but all Its
