"If the road had been cut off, then all we had to do was reconnect it." Lu Yin murmured to himself.
"How?" A woman's unfamiliar voice sounded in his ear. Lu Yin's expression changed. He let out a breath. "Senior Shocking Gate Supreme Lord?"
"Mm."
"With your wisdom, reconnecting the path of cultivation shouldn't be difficult. Open the Heavenly Gate and allow cultivators from the Spiritualized Universe to join the Nine Heavens once they reach a certain level or pass a certain test."
"Master Cao is Eternal Life. The Nine Heavens cannot control his fate, so Eternal Life is the end of this road."
"But Eternal Life is too elusive." Lu Yin's eyes shifted. "So the Spiritualized Universe has always had the legend that restarting the universe could lead to Eternal Life. Was that the path the Nine Heavens Universe had already provided to reconnect the road?"
"It was just something we did along the way."
Lu Yin was astonished. "The Nine Heavens Universe had already considered this day long ago. Then why ask me?"
"Those who look down and those who look up see different things. Perhaps you have a better solution. Or was what you said earlier about putting humanity first merely a lie to deceive us?"
Lu Yin frowned. "The path has been reconnected, but their convictions are gone. In the past, people in the Spiritualized Universe cultivated to live longer and enjoy a better life. Even if they couldn't reach Eternal Life, they still had something to strive for. But now they have to consider the fact that the higher their cultivation, the more easily the Nine Heavens Universe can prey on them. The dream of Eternal Life will always be a castle in the sky."
"Reconnect the path, and you must also restore their faith."
