Jun exhales and goes quiet. That's an easy thought for him. That what they're doing here isn't actually for the good of the people currently living in Teyvat.

And that this will all lead to another cataclysmic holy war that devastates the land for centuries.
Or, it's not other gods that but humans that wage the holy wars.

How will those be twisted? And even in Earth's case, God was still watching over Earth in His own way - intervening when necessary. Teyvat would have no such safety net.
Perhaps Forneus is right and in the long term, the removal of Celestia would be better for humanity in this world. But after how long? After how much suffering until they reach that period of peace? Would it take 2000 years, as it did with Earth? Gods are notorious for thinking in the long term, while overlooking the suffering in the short term until it was right in front of them. And unfortunately, Jun was too mortal to do the same.
But....Jun wasn't one to voice his thoughts and feelings very easily. Especially when he's sure much of it would go over Trevor's head. So...even after all that thought, he just lets out a simple:]
