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

Zhou Tianqi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's a good idea. If they still don't give up on targeting our people who are trying to achieve enlightenment, then we can also kill off the myriad races that have been attracted here. That way, we won't lose out no matter what."

Immediately afterward, Zhu the Landlord said with a wicked grin, "Perhaps we can also use Jin Tian's identity to stir up some trouble. What do you think... if there is someone behind Jin Tian, ​​and that person is the second-in-command of the Seeking Realm, which is me, how will those myriad races react?"

Zhu the Landlord grinned mischievously: "When the time comes, I'll put on a show of being determined to destroy the polytheistic script lineage. Do you think the people of all races will instantly abandon those of us who are about to prove our Dao and turn around to stop you?"

The group's eyes lit up; what Landlord Zhu said sounded very promising.

Especially Yun Jie, isn't this just a piracy of the original work? Many things have changed, but the purpose remains the same.

Qin Guang frowned slightly: "It's worth a try, but we still need to discuss the specifics. These things don't count if we think about them ourselves; we have to get all the races to fall for it, otherwise it'll all be for nothing."

“That’s natural,” Yun Jie and the others nodded.

The current task is to convince all races that there is an even more deeply hidden traitor within the human race, and that this traitor's goal is to annihilate the polytheistic script lineage. This is exactly what all races want.

Moreover, this would also sever the human race, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

Therefore, as long as Yun Jie and his group act convincingly and realistically, they need not worry about the myriad races not being fooled.

Even if they have doubts at the time, Yun Jie and his group will not give the myriad races much time to think; they will not give them time to react, just as in the original work.

Therefore, when Landlord Zhu proposed a plan, a nearly complete scheme had already formed in Yun Jie's mind, requiring only a few refinements.

Then, Yun Jie explained his plan to the four of them in detail.

After Yun Jie finished speaking, he asked, "What do you think of this plan?"

"Excellent, excellent!"

Xia Wushen smiled happily. As long as this plan succeeds, it will be much easier for Xia Longwu to prove his Dao. How could he not be happy?

Zhou Tianqi stroked his chin and said, "Since we're going to find a traitor, let's make it bigger and include Lao Liu too. He's been stationed in the Seeking Realm for many years, so it's plausible that he's colluding with Jin Tian. The news that the second and third leaders of the Seeking Realm have betrayed us at the same time will probably shock all the races instantly. This way, they'll have even less time to think."

Landlord Zhu exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, Old Zhou, you're ruthless! I think this news will not only shock all races, but our people will probably be stunned on the spot too."

Yun Jie glanced at Zhou Tianqi silently. As expected of you, Great Yin King!

Zhou Tianqi calmly said, "That's how we make it more realistic. Otherwise, if we can't even fool our own people, how can we expect to fool all the other races?"

Yun Jie smiled and said, "Okay, I agree."

Zhou Tianqi looked at Qin Guang and Xia Wushen, and the two of them nodded in agreement. As for Landlord Zhu, his opinion was no longer important, so he was ignored.

Zhou Tianqi continued, "We must keep this a secret. We shouldn't tell those who can't keep their mouths shut or who aren't good at acting. But I think we can tell our Potian and Polong."

Qin Guang thought for a moment and said, "Let's forget about Qin Zhen; he can't act."

Landlord Zhu laughed and said, "Your son is capable, but his performance might be a bit exaggerated and easily give himself away."

Qin Guang glanced at him. "I know, but did you have to say it out loud? I already told you he can't act, can't you give me a little face?"

Zhu the landlord pretended not to see it and said, "I'll leave it at that. My husband hasn't reached the point of enlightenment yet, so I won't tell him. Let him play his natural role."

“I definitely need to talk to Long Wu about it, otherwise he probably won’t be able to focus on his path to enlightenment.”

"Row."

None of them objected. Although Xia Longwu's acting skills were lacking, he usually had a cold and stern face, just like Qin Guang, and it was rare to see any emotion in his expression. It didn't matter whether he acted or not.

Finally, there's Yun Jie.

"Yun Chen and Yun Ying are fine too, I trust their acting skills."

Yun Jie was very confident about this.

As the saying goes, dragons beget dragons, and phoenixes beget phoenixes. How could his children, who are a renowned film emperor and have won countless Oscars, not be good actors?

The group quickly identified the people in the know; there weren't many, and including the five of them, the number of people in the know wouldn't exceed fifteen.

“Alright, let’s arrange it like this then,” Qin Guang finally decided, then turned to Zhou Tianqi and said, “I’ll leave Lao Liu’s side to you, Lao Zhou.”

Zhou Tianqi nodded: "Yes, I will explain it to him."

Qin Guang looked at Yun Jie and asked, "Yun Jie, can you handle the matter of the ruins by yourself?"

Yun Jie laughed and said, "Don't worry, no problem. After all, I've seen and inherited the ruins with my own eyes. Making a fake one is a piece of cake."

"Alright, in that case, I'll leave the fake ruins to you. We can discuss any problems later."

"Ah."

Soon, the group parted ways.

Chapter 342 The Human Race's Scheme [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

······

In the blink of an eye, another two days have passed.

The battlefield of the heavens has been relatively calm these past two days, as Su Yu is no longer there.

However, while there was no major chaos, minor disturbances never ceased. Battles broke out between geniuses from various races, and the names on the rankings kept changing, as if everything had returned to normal.

There's no way around it. When Su Yu is around, he's like a troublemaker. The winds of change rise because of him, and all the races focus their attention on him. Any genius who encounters him will pale in comparison. Even Modona cannot be compared to him.

Moreover, with Su Yu's silence, the tense atmosphere between the various races eased, and many smaller races breathed a sigh of relief.

There's no way around it. Once the major clans break out into war, the smaller clans will be the first to suffer. Want to sit back and watch the tigers fight? No way. They have to choose one side or they will be met with a thunderous blow.

Of course, they still have another option: to join the Hundred Clans Alliance.

However, they still haven't figured out whether the Hundred Races Alliance is an independent organization or is being secretly controlled by the Immortal Race. In other words, whether Dao Qi truly betrayed them or was just putting on an act remains unknown to everyone except those directly involved.

When Dao Qi and Tian Gu, the two parties involved, came out to clarify, they couldn't believe it, which was quite frustrating.

Now that the major clans have calmed down, they can continue to observe and wait.

However, some are already seeking a way out. Some smaller tribes are secretly applying to join the Hundred Tribes Alliance, while others are adopting the principle of proximity, subtly siding with whichever major tribe their territory is closest to.

They were only vaguely leaning towards it, without making a clear decision.

None of the ethnic groups are fools; on the contrary, they are quite shrewd. Until the very last moment, there are actually not many people who truly take sides.

The various races were well aware of this situation, but they did not make it public to prevent the humans from defecting to others.

Many small clans have sought refuge with the Immortal Clan, the God Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Dragon Clan, but very few have sought refuge with the Human Clan.

This shows that the various races do not have a high opinion of the human race.

That's normal. During the previous nine tidal changes, the human race fought against all races with the strength of one race. The human race was very strong at that time, but after 100,000 years, the human race's foundation has long been exhausted. Who would dare to easily submit to the human race? Wouldn't that be courting death?

Didn't you see that humanity's former allies have all closed their borders and are not coming out?

Or rather, they're frighteningly low-key!

Not only has the human race's foundation been destroyed, but its former allies have also suffered heavy losses. Until the situation becomes clearer, they will most likely remain in a wait-and-see mode and will not easily intervene.

······

······

Closer to home.

Against this backdrop, a message is quietly spreading throughout the entire battlefield of the heavens.

At this time, discussions were taking place in many places across the battlefield of the heavens.

Yun Chen could hear it even halfway down the road.

"Hey, have you heard? About the Nanyuan Ruins."

"I've heard about it. What? Do you have more detailed information?"

The man recounted the news he had heard: "It's like this. I heard that Su Yu rose to prominence thanks to this relic. His current achievements are inseparable from this relic. The key point is that Su Yu did not fully inherit this relic; he only obtained a small part of it."

Someone exclaimed in astonishment, "Only a small portion? Is this for real? A small portion could kill dozens of Sun and Moon Realm experts and survive being chased by more than a dozen invincible experts?"

"How could it be fake?" The man lowered his voice and whispered, "I heard that it's a relic left behind by a half-emperor, and it might even be comparable to the Starry Sky Mansion!"

"What!?"

Everyone who heard the news gasped in surprise.

If they didn't have much of a concept of a Half-Emperor, then they were very familiar with the Starry Sky Mansion.

Over the course of 100,000 years, many things about the Starry Sky Mansion have become common knowledge on the battlefield of the heavens. Of course, this refers to the first three levels, because most small clans can only reach the third level at most; beyond that, it is the domain of large clans.

However, that alone is enough. The first three floors of the Starry Sky Mansion are already filled with countless treasures and resources, and they can be harvested once every ten years.

Today, the Nanyuan Ruins can actually rival the Xingyu Mansion?

If this news is true, then they'll definitely want to get involved.

The others quickly pressed, "Is this information accurate?"

The man shook his head and replied, "I can't guarantee that, but one thing is certain: this ruin is at least a semi-royal ruin. Otherwise, there's no way to explain why Su Yu is so monstrous!"

The man used Su Yu as an example again, and everyone else, recalling Su Yu's actions over the past two months, believed it to be true, their hearts burning with excitement as they thought of the Nan Yuan Ruins.

Yun Chen, who was passing by, sneered inwardly. Even if this ruin is fake, it's not something you people can get involved in. What are you doing making a fuss here?

Yun Chen was certain that these people wouldn't even be able to cross the Eastern Rift Valley in the end, yet they dared to dream of entering the Human Realm and going to Nan Yuan to get a share of the pie—it was simply wishful thinking!

Yun Chen looked up at the direction of the Eastern Rift Valley. It had been almost half a month since he came out, and it was time for him to go back and make preparations.

Although he had already attained enlightenment, he still had to go back and pretend. Before fully revealing his cultivation level, he still had to lie.

Swish!

The next second, Yun Chen disappeared without a sound.

······

Within the same time period.

The story of the Nanyuan Ruins has spread like wildfire throughout the land.

Soon, Nanyuan City of the Great Xia Prefecture became the focus of attention in the human realm and even the myriad realms.

Fortunately, Xia Xiaoer returned from the battlefield at the last moment and made timely arrangements; otherwise, Nanyuan City would have been overcrowded by now.
