Xi Zu nodded. "That's right. I came to your universe from the Spiritualized Universe, tracking Tian Ci. In our terminology, your universe is called the Heavenly Origin Universe."
Lu Yin understood. The Spiritualized Universe had invaded the Consciousness Universe, just as Tian Ci wanted to establish a foothold in their universe. The Consciousness Universe was bound to be unable to hold them off, so they had thought of bringing another universe into the conflict to keep the Spiritualized Universe in check.
Unfortunately, Xi Zu had arrived at the wrong time. Before she could put her plan into action, the Heavenly Sect was destroyed.
"Why did you attack the Lu Tian Realm back then?" Lu Yin asked, puzzled. She should have stayed out of the conflict and avoided making enemies before deciding what to do. In particular, she shouldn't have made an enemy of humanity. At the time, humanity was her only choice.
Xi Zu shook her head. "That was a personal grudge between Lu Yuan and me. It had nothing to do with the universe. He was too rude."
Lu Yin understood and didn't ask further. "So after the Heavenly Sect was destroyed, you joined the Eternal Clan because you had your eye on them and hoped they could become the key to breaking the deadlock?"
"Not only that. Joining the Eternal Clan kept the Four Directional Guardians from setting their sights on me. Those four had plans of their own, and they might not have spared a powerhouse of my caliber," Xi Zu said.
Lu Yin chuckled. That made sense. The Four Directional Guardians had been conspiring with the Eternal Clan all along.
"Did you know back then that the Eternal Clan and Tian Ci were working together? That the Spiritualized Universe wanted to seize our universe?"
