The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

Just when Su Yu thought he was about to get slapped again, Yun Jie didn't hit him. Instead, he patted Su Yu's head, just like when they were kids.

Yun Jie said softly, "Ayu has grown up and has his own ideas. Grandpa knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances and hardships in Daxia Prefecture. Grandpa knows all of this."

"But a fledgling eagle must face the sky alone. The identity of the grandson of the Great Xuan King may make you have a smooth life in the human realm, and no one will dare to provoke you. But a life that is too smooth will often lead to giving up when faced with difficulties, instead of being like you now, who can bravely face whatever you encounter. This courage and boldness are more important than anything else."

"These are things that the identity of the grandson of the Great Xuan King cannot give you. People always have to go through some hardships, taste the bitterness and sweetness of life, and feel the crisis of life and death and desperate situation before they can truly grow up. Otherwise, even if your grandfather raises you in the future, you will only be a giant baby. Is this the result you want?"

"Of course, Grandpa is not saying all this to shirk responsibility. It was indeed Grandpa's fault for hiding it from you, and it was also Grandpa's decision to do it on his own. Therefore, Grandpa wants to apologize to you."

Su Yu was silent for a moment: "Was that invincible person who appeared in the Great Jin Prefecture back then also you?"

Yun Jie did not deny it, and nodded, saying, "It's me."

“I understand now,” Su Yu raised his head. “Then why are you showing yourself now? If you hadn’t shown yourself, I wouldn’t have recognized you.”

Yun Jie shook his head and joked, "I can't keep this from you forever, otherwise you'll resent me to death later, won't you? With your petty nature, Grandpa is afraid of your revenge."

Su Yu said in a deep voice, "You are my grandfather. I can't take revenge on you, no matter who else I want to take revenge on. Besides, I'm not petty."

"Heh, do you think anyone would believe you if you said that? You're not only petty, but also a troublemaker."

Su Yu: "..."

"Is this how you evaluate your grandson? Is this how you see me?"

Yun Jie nodded without hesitation.

Su Yu instantly felt hurt, and nodded without hesitation.

Yun Jie said irritably, "You think you're not? Look at your ranking on the Hunter's List now, you're number one! How long have you been in the Battlefield of All Heavens? Not even a month has passed, and you've gone from an unknown nobody to number one on the list. Even a rocket can't move you faster."

Su Yu glanced at the list.

The Hunter's Ranking:

Su Yu is ranked number one on the Heavenly Ranking!

Second on the Heavenly Ranking, Modona!

Third on the Heavenly Ranking, Zhan Wushuang!

……

Su Yu said sullenly, "How should I know? It's not my fault. They insisted on killing me. I was just fighting back. Blame them for being too weak."

Yun Jie glared at him: "Weak? If Yun Chen hadn't given you ten divine runes, which Sun Moon Realm expert could you have defeated? Even with the help of the necromancer's power, you would have had a hard time doing it!"

Then Yun Jie changed the subject: "Of course, the geniuses on the Hunter Ranking are indeed a bit weak. After you forge your body a few more times, they all combined won't be enough for you to beat."

Su Yu: "Of course. I'm only at the fourth level of the Sky Soaring Realm now, but my strength may not be weaker than some at the fourth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm."

"Don't gloat in front of me. If you hadn't completed the Zhou Tian Body Forging, and if I hadn't had the Seventy-Two Iron Forgings delivered to you, would you be so arrogant now?"

Su Yu said speechlessly, "So you deliberately arranged for those little iron-eating beasts to come here?"

"Nonsense, otherwise how could they appear at the university, or near your research institute? Do you really think it's a coincidence?"

Su Yu: "In other words, you've completely arranged everything for me..."

Yun Jie shook his head: "No, some of these things were just going with the flow, but what puzzles me is where your strange ability came from? It made Lao Xia think that everything you did was arranged by me."

Su Yu didn't have time to care who Old Xia was, as he was extremely shocked that the golden book in his mind wasn't arranged by his grandfather.

"Grandpa, you mean...you don't know..."

Chapter 278 Not Omnipotent [Please Subscribe!]

······

On an unnamed deserted island on the coast of the sea.

Seagulls occasionally flew across the sky, and a few small fish swam in the sea.

Not far from the shore.

Yun Jie and Su Yu were staring at each other, wide-eyed.

After a while.

Yun Jie walked to the side, found a relatively clean rock, sat down, and said with a half-smile, "From what you're saying, what should I know? Do you know that you're hiding some secret? Or do you think that everything you've done was arranged by me?"

Su Yu walked over, sat down next to Yun Jie, and turned his head: "Isn't that right?"

Yun Jie smiled and shook his head: "Ayu, Grandpa isn't as all-powerful as you think. I'm not omniscient, I don't know everything, and I'm certainly not omnipotent. I don't have everything under my control either. There are many things about you that I don't know."

Su Yu frowned slightly: "For example?"

Yun Jie smiled; this kid still didn't believe it.

"For example, I don't know where your strange research ability comes from, but I do know that you must have taken some shortcuts or had some kind of help, otherwise you couldn't do it. I know what you're capable of. When it comes to research, there are many people who are better than you. Not to mention others, that little girl Wu Lan is better than you."

"Don't be unconvinced, think about it yourself."

Su Yu withdrew his gaze. Indeed, as Yun Jie said, he was not a researcher in the true sense. Most of his achievements were accomplished through the Golden Atlas. But he just couldn't accept that he was inferior to Wu Lan.

Wu Lan is so stupid, how could I possibly be inferior to her?

Yun Jie knew that Su Yu was unconvinced, but he didn't mean that Su Yu was really inferior to Wu Lan. He just said that compared to Wu Lan, all of Su Yu's research was for the purpose of making himself stronger, rather than for the sake of research itself, and he wasn't as pure as others.

Of course, the most important thing is that Su Yu doesn't have that much time to slowly do research; what he needs to do is become stronger quickly.

Yun Jie continued, "It was that unknown method of yours that helped you produce one cultivation technique after another, allowing you to freely use the innate skills of other races. Including the many Yuan Apertures and Divine Apertures you opened, almost all of them were accomplished with the help of that method, right?"

Su Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

He believed that Yun Jie would not harm him.

Yun Jie chuckled and said, "I thought you were going to deny it. At least you still have some conscience."

Su Yu: "..."

If I deny it, then I'll be considered heartless.

Then Yun Jie's expression turned serious, and he said earnestly, "If it's really as I said, then this kind of method is not something I can do. I've never heard of any method that can help people open their Yuan Aperture and Divine Aperture."

Then Yun Jie continued to feign ignorance and asked, "To open acupoints like this, you need some kind of medium, right? So, that's why you need essence blood?"

Su Yu was speechless. You're really good at analyzing things. Should I just tell you everything?

"Hmm, judging from your expression, I guessed right?" Yun Jie chuckled. "No wonder you seem to have an epiphany as easily as if you were playing around every time you acquire new essence blood. So that's how it is."

Su Yu remained silent. Grandpa was indeed Grandpa; his insight was truly sharp, guessing so much in an instant.

But the next second Yun Jie's expression turned much more serious: "Even if it requires essence blood to help you open your mind, this method is exaggerated enough. This is not something that an invincible person can do, and even a Dao Integration Realm cultivator cannot do it."

Seeing the confusion in Su Yu's eyes, Yun Jie explained, "The invincible realm is not called invincible, but the Eternal Realm. Above the Eternal Realm is the Dao Integration Realm. Currently, the half-emperors of the great races such as gods, immortals, and demons are all at this realm. As for the realms above the Dao Integration Realm, I am not clear about them for the time being."

Su Yu suddenly realized, and then asked with a curious look, "Grandpa, what realm are you at?"

"Eternal Peak".

"Really?"

Su Yu's expression was one of surprise, whether it was astonishment or confusion, but Yun Jie felt that it was a mixture of surprise and confusion.

"Of course it's true. Currently, our human race does not have any experts at the Dao Integration Realm. Therefore, most of the time, the various prefectures fight their own battles because no one can suppress everyone."

Su Yu had heard about this before, and today he finally got confirmation from the "person involved".

"Alright, let's put aside the matter of cultivation level for now. Tell me about yourself first. Does that method of yours pose any harm to you? Do you need me to take a look?"

Su Yu shook his head, "I haven't found any problems yet, it's fine, no need to check."

Su Yu decided to keep the golden album a secret and keep it to himself.

Yun Jie nodded; he was just putting on an act when he asked that question.

"Alright, in that case, just be careful on your own. If you need my help, just let me know."

“Okay, Grandpa,” Su Yu replied quickly.

If something really goes wrong, he definitely won't keep it to himself; he'll find Yun Jie immediately.

This topic has come to a temporary close, but Yun Jie's true purpose for this trip has not yet been achieved.

Yun Jie pondered for a moment and asked, "Ayu, what do you think your next path should be? Should you return to the human realm as the grandson of the Great Xuan King, and then have me support you step by step to the position of the Holy Lord of the Human Race, or do you want to forge your own path?"

Just like when Su Yu went to the Heavenly Palace, Yun Jie once again made Su Yu make a choice.

Su Yu fell silent. He was tempted by Yun Jie's words; it was a broad road laid out before him. However, he felt a resistance within himself.

therefore,

"Grandpa, I want to walk my own path!"

Su Yu firmly stated his choice.

Upon hearing this, he felt a sense of elevation. He disliked having a path laid out for him by others, even if that person was his grandfather, as it made him feel like a puppet.

Yun Jie said in a deep voice, "The idea of ​​'walking your own path' is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do. Are you sure?"

Su Yu said with a firm look in his eyes, "I'm sure! Absolutely sure!"

"Have you come up with any ideas yet?"

Su Yu shook his head. "Not yet, we'll see how it goes."

Yun Jie glanced at him: "Take it one step at a time? You're already number one on the Heavenly Ranking, and with all the people you've killed this time, you'll be facing a fierce pursuit from all races. They'll definitely do everything they can to kill you. How much time do you think you have left to take it one step at a time?"

Su Yu: "..."

"Now you know you've stirred up a hornet's nest, right? Sometimes being too high-profile isn't necessarily a good thing."

Su Yu said with a bitter face, "If that's really the case, I'll have no choice but to keep a low profile."

Yun Jie rolled his eyes at him: "So you'll continue to do things in a high-profile manner, huh?"
