They had originally planned to wait until later to tell Chi Xue and the others about having multiple groups trigger their final tribulations at the same time. But Chi Xue and the others had come looking for them, and Shi Lin and the others were clearly in no condition to hold out much longer. So there was no harm in telling them directly.
Chi Xue and the others were undeniably clever. They immediately realized the benefits of this plan and agreed without hesitation.
"Heh, there may not be many cultivators in the God Realm who have broken through to the peak of the Near-Saint Eighteenth Heaven or higher, but there are far too many cultivators below that level. Their strength may fall short of what we're looking for, but there are so many of them! By then, there'll surely be plenty of people—no, to be precise, plenty of groups—triggering their final tribulations at the same time as us. At least a dozen groups, and perhaps dozens, hundreds, or even more." Shi Lin was quite excited. "With so many groups undergoing their final tribulations alongside us, even if most of them are below the peak of the Near-Saint Eighteenth Heaven, they'll still distract the Lord of the Universe and consume a great deal of his energy. That'll make it much easier for us to overcome our tribulations. At the very least, it'll be much easier than doing so alone."

Although many can't join us in overcoming our tribulations, it would still be great if they could trigger their final tribulations at the same time as us. I'm sure many people would be willing to do that,
