• He claims the God Realm has ordered him to infiltrate this parallel world, seize its resources, and use them to strengthen their own world.
• Qian Xunji asks Huang Tian to accompany him as an assistant because of her strength and knowledge of the continent’s resources. He conceals the God Realm’s deeper motives while presenting the mission as an opportunity for the soul beasts.

However, she worries about abandoning the Star Dou Forest and leaving its inhabitants vulnerable.
• Qian Xunji ends the negotiation by threatening her with the power of the Super Divine Artifact, the Oath of the Angel, and warning that refusal could result in the destruction of the Star Dou Forest.

This establishes that Qian Xunji himself may be subordinate and that Huang Tian will face contempt from the divine authorities overseeing the mission.
