Star Odyssey

After taking another look at Cang Xiaohai’s picture, Lu Yin had to acknowledge that he’d indeed become a figure who invited resentment, lacking the standing to lead others toward goodness. However, aside from having a bottom line, people also possessed a sense of self. Lu Yin’s bottom line was something that had been imparted to him by the universe's civilizations. In essence, it was a crystallization of culture and tradition and was unaffected by his personal feelings. As for the sense of self, that was rooted in Lu Yin’s selfishness that existed as an aspect of being a sapient creature.

Lu Yin lived for himself, the people he cared about, and those he needed to protect. Anything that threatened those things would violate Lu Yin’s sense of self, and thus need to be eradicated. He had no regrets for the hatred that his actions had caused in fulfilling his purpose.

He might not be qualified to guide others towards goodness, but he was certainly qualified to protect humanity as a whole and to protect his species from extinction.

He was Lu Yin, the ruler of humanity, someone who was admired and followed by countless people. He was willing to protect those who followed him. No matter if the path ahead led into an abyss or hell itself, they would face the future together. As for Cang Xiaoxue, Lu Yin had not acted only out of a moment of softness, but also out of compassion.

Lu Yin's orders caused multiple peak powerhouses to enter the Origin Universe. They released their Progenitor’s worlds and enveloped the entire Origin Universe so that they could monitor it, while also focusing on regions where the Scrollbane Centipedes had already appeared.

Progenitor’s worlds could encompass vast regions. In the past, just the Rune Progenitor’s remnant will had been enough to alter the universe and prevent the Sixth Mainland’s invasion from using any power at or above the Envoy level. At the moment, the Heavens Sect had multiple powerhouses, including several of the Three Realms and Six Daos. Which of them was not capable of observing a massive region?

In addition to the Origin Universe, Lu Yin was confident that the Heavens Sect could also monitor the neighboring parallel universes.

It was a time-consuming and exhausting approach, but it would certainly deal with the Scrollbane Centipedes, as long as the insects showed themselves.

In the past, Great Elder Shan Gu’s megaverse had failed to deal with the Scrollbane Centipedes because they had already spread across the megaverse, and they had not had enough experts to monitor the entire megaverse.

Fortunately, as soon as Lu Yin learned that a Scrollbane Centipede had been seen, he had ordered all of the parallel universes to be sealed off, which trapped the Scrollbane Centipedes within the Origin Universe. If not for that, the bugs could have spread out, becoming a far more difficult challenge to overcome.
