Krune then called Arminia and told her that he had a secret plan. Arminia nodded in response before starting a meeting with a few of her most trusted elders and Krune's group. Arminia already understood that without this key, the Universe wouldn't last long. However, the Lokrathos Universe would still be wiped out later when the gods try to break the Four Realms' foundation when they attacked the second door. The only difference in this was that the Lokrathos Universe would either be destroyed alone or destroyed together with the entirety of the Four Realms.
Of course, it took several days of discussion to get everyone to understand that there was no other way. Not to mention that Zule himself would be giving Krune's group the key whether they wanted it or not. Besides, Luvile and Soren were more than capable enough of taking care of everyone even if they refuse.
However, what weighed more than anything else was Feifei's proposal. After making sure that no word would come out of the meeting room, she told them that they could transfer everyone to Dalin Universe. There was basically no Universe that did not know about Dalin, even if they weren't part of the Universe Powerhouses' alliance.
Knowing that they would be able to live in the best Universe that had been discovered was huge. They also knew how Dalin had been completely locked down, so the Universe Powerhouses couldn't intervene with it anymore. Since their Lokrathos Universe would seize to exist, they might as well move to the best place possible, the Dalin Universe.
Arminia's group had also considered the force that controlled the Lokrathos Universe. That being said, it was a lot easier to deal with everything as long as they agreed with the plan. Later, Arminia called every leader of Lokrathos Universe's main powers for a meeting. There, she 'explained' that their Universe Foundation had a problem and that it would collapse not too long after.
Of course, everyone was taken aback by that news. Many began to inquire if that was really true and things like that. Fortunately, Zule's will was inside the key in the Universe's Foundation. Thanks to that, he had no problem making the foundation look unstable when Arminia brought everyone to see it.
They were all Divinity Realm forces, so they were able to 'confirm' that the foundation truly seemed to be falling apart. It would take at most a year before the entire Lokrathos Universe disappeared if things continued like that. Of course, they all tried to give ideas to stop it, and Arminia didn't try to stop them. She even had her elders go and 'help' them with the issue. Unfortunately, after two months of useless trials, everyone understood that it would be impossible to stop it from happening.
It was then that Arminia came up with the moving out of the universe plan. Obviously, everyone understood that it was the only option they had. However, the place where they would be going was the question in all of their minds.
"Don't worry. I've already prepared a place for us. However, moving all the living beings of a Universe isn't anything easy. Besides, there are multiple repercussions to this decision regarding the power controlling our new home. Because of that, I can't tell you where we're going."

"Why can't you tell us?"
Arminia sighed before saying.
"Isn't that obvious? If we move the forces of an entire Universe to another, that new home's power will increase at an alarming rate. It's as if it suddenly became twice as strong as before. If the other Universes around it find out, they might start using preventive measures to stop that Universe from getting too strong."
"Naturally, this move has to be done in secret. We will have to appear there like a ghost and expand as fast as possible. Only then would everyone have enough time to prevent mishaps. For the sake of security, I won't be able to tell you where it is. After all, there should be no lack of spies or cultivator and demon beasts who want to profit from this information."
As unhappy as everyone might be, they had to admit that Arminia was right.
"But, are we going to become subordinates of the new home's power?"
Arminia shrugged her shoulders as she replied.
"Do you think we have another choice? If it were you, would you receive everyone and give your own Universe's control to the newcomers? Don't be ridiculous. It's already great that I got a place for ourselves. You can't be delusional to think that the ones controlling this new home would give up their home for us, right?"
Of course, there were some who opposed it.
"In that case, let's attack another Universe and take it for ourselves. Then, we can move there on our own."
However...
"Are you really that dumb? We have less than a year! Even one of those Universe Powerhouses wouldn't be able to conquer another Universe in a year, let alone us. Just to prepare for the battle alone would take longer than that!"
Sure enough, there were many arguments regarding this idea. But in the end, Arminia's group was the power controlling Lokrathos Universe. The others had to follow their orders even if they didn't want to. Otherwise, they were more than welcome to take all their own forces and leave Lokrathos on their own. Obviously, such a choice would be even worse since they would have no place to establish themselves.
Meanwhile, Krune had spent his time forging Peak Divinity Stars Spatial Boxes nonstop. He even included a little bit of Godly Path Realm materials into the mix, making them several times bigger and resistant compared to any other Mortal Realm Spatial Box.
The reason he made Spatial Boxes was that they could hold much bigger dimensions inside as well. Krune wasn't planning to move only the living beings. No, he was planning to move all the planets as well! Feifei, Heavin, and Luvile helped as much as they could with this. By the time Arminia had convinced everyone to move out, Krune's group had already crafted over a million of those things. Of course, that was thanks to a Time Decelerating Formation that Feifei set down. While two months passed outside, over 20 years passed inside Feifei's formation.
Well, for cultivators like them who were already hundreds of years old, twenty years didn't seem like much anymore. Let alone Luvile and Soren, who have already lived for who knows how many chaos cycles. In their case, twenty years might as well be considered the blink of an eye.
Each one of those Spatial Boxes had a Dimensional Realm capable of holding an entire Solar System, maybe even two if they weren't too big.
"We made a lot of them, but would it be enough to hold everyone?"
Krune smiled before nodding.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I know what you mean. A Universe can easily have between billions to trillions of galaxies, let alone Solar Systems. However, we aren't moving entire galaxies to start with. We are only moving the planets with living beings and putting a single sun to provide them with energy. Of course, it's a lot more complicated than that, but that's the general concept."
"Don't forget, more than 99.99% of a Universe is completely void of life. In general, only one in a million suns have planets around it. Let's not even talk about suns with planets that have life on them. Dalin is just an exception because of its traits. Way too many people and beasts moved into there for cultivating and things like that. They even moved their own planets and stabilized them there."
"Basically, we don't need to care about the majority of the Universe at all. We made a little more than a million Spatial Boxes, which we will use to store a single sun and many planets around its orbit. Obviously, only planets that have life will be put in the orbit of each of those suns. As for things like what's the best distance for each planet to be from the sun, that's something the Lokrathos Universe forces will have to care about, not us. We will be only moving and giving them the tools necessary for that."
"In any case, we have more than enough space to move everyone out. As for the rest, it's said that it will all be destroyed. Of course, I'm sure that due to the Universe's size, many will be forgotten. But we can't do anything about that. Some planets where life just began to appear will not even be considered to start with. Nevertheless, it's a lot better than risk losing all Four Realms."
Feifei couldn't help but sigh.
"We are always traveling from one power to another, always surrounded by people and beasts. However, only in a moment like this do you really understand how cold a Universe really is."
Krune nodded as he said.
"We did what we could."
In the third month, hundreds of millions of Divine Path Realm and above cultivators were given a Spatial Box. Of course, there were only a million and something boxes. The reason many more cultivators and demon beasts gathered was that each group would have enough strength to deal with most of the situations. That also helped prevent wrongdoings due to the number of spectators.
Sure enough, everyone followed Arminia's orders and began to move suitable suns before putting the planets with life into them. As for the details, it would all be decided by the Lokrathos Universe's people and beasts.
This situation continued for eight months when finally, Arminia received the report that at least 99% of the Lokrathos Universe's lives were moved into the Spatial Boxes.
