Everything Paganini saw after Ye Qingxuan said "let there be light" was an illusion. If he did not feel guilty and always thought that the Sacred City was out to get him, he would not have become so nervous and be influenced by Lola's School of Mind movement.
Ye Qingxuan had just been imitating the Genesis that he had experienced. He created a paper tiger and Paganini believed him. This was the magic of illusions. Because of Ye Qingxuan's lies, Paganini missed the opportunity to kill this guy once and for all, giving Ye another chance.
Ye Qingxuan smiled. The pure white city behind him toppled. The dark city of Avalon's City rose from the surface of the sea. Above him, the blood-red moon hung in the air. That was the core he used to control Heaven on Earth.
It was Lola's scepter.
Under the scepter's rule, Heaven on Earth's territory expanded.
