Su Shi Dao's heart was heavy. Facing Lu Yin, he bowed deeply. "On behalf of the countless cultivators of the Spiritualized Universe, I thank you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yin hadn't lied. Xing Fan's method had been stopped by him and couldn't be carried out. The alternative was naturally to erase several eras' worth of cultivators from the Spiritualized Universe. That was also the plan many people in the Nine Heavens Universe supported. And erasing them didn't mean killing them outright; it meant taking them to the Firmament Pillars to join the expedition into the Outer Universe, fighting until the very last one fell.
That was even crueler. They would have to give their lives for the Nine Heavens Universe.
By moving all the cultivators of the Spiritualized Universe to the Heavenly Origin Universe, Lu Yin had indeed helped them.
As Shocking Gate Supreme Lord had said, the important thing wasn't opening the Kai Tian Gate, but going to the Heavenly Origin Universe. Once they went there, they could forget about coming back.
The Sixth Continent had once gone to the Fifth Continent. Many cultivators from the Tree Starry Sky had also been moved to the Fifth Continent, as had people from the Three Monarchs Space-Time, and elsewhere. Lu Yin had done this sort of thing many times and was well practiced at it.
It was simply that never before had the scale been so enormous.
It was a long-term undertaking, of course, assuming they first dealt with the insect nest crisis.
For the cultivators of the Spiritualized Universe, whether the crisis in the Heavenly Origin Universe had been resolved depended on Lu Yin, not on them.
If Lu Yin said it hadn't been resolved, then it hadn't been resolved.
People needed freedom, but sometimes freedom wasn't necessarily a good thing.
