Even so, in the vast majority of parallel worlds, Alaya and Gaia coexisted peacefully for the time being.

A plane should possess its own consciousness, much like the Heavenly Dao the Heavenly Emperor had mentioned and the heavenly punishment he had just suffered.

The heavenly punishment should represent the will of the Heavenly Dao.

Just as Alaya originated from humanity's collective subconscious and thus ensured humanity's continued existence, the Heavenly Dao was the collective consciousness of this world.
