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

Three days later, Yun Jie returned to the human realm with the array that Zhu Dizhu had worked day and night to build, and went to the Nanyuan Ruins to make the final arrangements.

During the journey, Yun Jie made subtle modifications to the formation, increasing its power by nearly 30%, making it more solid and more concealed.

After all, Zhu the Landlord was only skilled in formations. He still cultivated the physical body, so he still had many shortcomings in formations, and he did not make the most of many materials.

Therefore, Yun Jie, a master of array formations, made slight modifications and brought the power of this array to its maximum.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Jie returned to the Su family.

Everything inside has been moved out; everything has been moved to the Great Xuan Mansion. Everything that belongs to the Su family now was put back in later.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar room in front of him, Yun Jie reminisced for a moment. After this, this building, including this community, would probably be destroyed in this struggle. Even if it was rebuilt afterward, it would lose its original flavor.

But it doesn't matter. As long as people are still alive, everywhere is a warm and cozy home.

Yun Jie quickly composed himself. He flipped his right hand, and a miniature array appeared in his palm. He went to Su Yu's bedroom, and with a gentle pull of his left hand, he revealed the entrance to the ruins.

Yun Jie did not go in. Everything inside had already been set up; all that was needed was to hide the formation and fix it at the entrance.

Without hesitation, Yun Jie quickly connected the entrance to the ruins with the array. The miniature array continued to expand, with numerous lines of rules extending from it and connecting with the entrance to the ruins, until it completely covered the entrance and finally disappeared without a trace.

After doing all this, Yun Jie nodded. Although it wasn't perfect, it was passable. This time, at most a few invincible beings would appear, which was enough to bury them.

Then Yun Jie withdrew his left hand, and the space at the entrance of the ruins slowly closed until it disappeared. It was not yet time for it to be fully revealed.

After finishing things here, Yun Jie took the opportunity to return to Da Xuan Mansion and met with Jiang Yao, Yun Chen, Yun Ying, Su Long, and Lin Xuan. Except for Su Yu, the whole family was present.

Of course, this was accompanied by resentful attacks from Su Long and Lin Xuan, and even Jiang Yao criticized him a couple of times. In the end, Yun Jie could only promise them that he would find a way to help Su Yu get rid of his identity as a resident of the ancient city, and only then did they calm down.

However, Yun Jie couldn't stand Su Long's occasional resentful gaze, so he returned to the Battlefield of All Heavens before even spending a full day at home.

······

When Yun Jie returned to the battlefield of the heavens, the atmosphere there had changed.

To be precise, the atmosphere near the Eastern Rift Valley changed, becoming extremely heavy. Dozens of invincible auras pressed down on the front lines of the Eastern Rift Valley, almost completely enveloping the entire valley.

In a flash, Yun Jie appeared in front of Qin Guang and asked, "Brother, I'm back. Now... what's going on?"

Qin Guang nodded to him first, then calmly said, "What else could it be? Because of our surprise attack on the Dragon Silkworm Realm last time, plus the incident at the Southern Yuan Ruins, they plan to trap us here, making us powerless to deal with the affairs of the Human Realm, so that they can send people to infiltrate the Human Realm. If nothing unexpected happens, a large number of powerful individuals will soon be able to infiltrate the Human Realm."

Zhou Tianqi nodded calmly, "That's good. We still have the initiative. After this, we can keep track of their entry into the human realm so that we won't catch them off guard in the future."

Qin Guang nodded in agreement, then looked at Zhou Tianqi and asked, "When are Lao Liu and the others coming?"

To allow all races to infiltrate the human realm with greater confidence and act with complete freedom, they transferred all the invincible beings within the human realm to the Eastern Rift Valley.

Of course, ostensibly it was to prevent the myriad races from suddenly taking action.

Zhou Tianqi said calmly, "They should be on their way."

No sooner had he finished speaking than several invincible auras descended upon the Eastern Rift Valley. With a slight sense, it was clear that they were the Great Han King and his companions.

Seeing this, Qin Guang said in a deep voice, "Now we just have to wait for the myriad races and the Hunter's Pavilion to make their moves. I just hope that no invincible beings will infiltrate the human realm this time, otherwise..."

Currently, the human realm's defenses are weak. In a while, when Yun Chen, Yun Ying, Xia Longwu, and others who are about to attain enlightenment arrive at the battlefield of the heavens, the human realm will enter an unprecedented period of weakness.

Yun Jie smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry, even if there's an invincible one, it doesn't matter. I believe Lao Xia and the others are already prepared, right, Lao Xia?"

As he spoke, Yun Jie looked at Xia Wushen beside him and asked, "Old Xia, what are the trump cards of your Great Xia Prefecture this time? Shouldn't you reveal them to us?"

Xia Wushen shook his head, keeping his mouth shut. "If you don't reveal your trump cards, they won't work. Just wait and see."

Landlord Zhu scoffed, "So you, the King of Xia with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have even learned to play riddles now. Tsk tsk, amazing. Did your waiter teach you that? I could tell he wasn't a good person when he was little, and he's proven me right now."

Xia Wushen glared at him irritably and said unconvinced, "That's still much better than your Zhu Diyuan! At most, Xiao Er is greedy, but that Zhu Diyuan kid is just like you, shameless!"

The two started arguing, and Yun Jie, Qin Guang, and Zhou Tianqi exchanged glances and quietly moved away from them.

Before leaving, Zhou Tianqi also left behind a soundproof array to prevent their words from getting out and damaging Wudi's image.

From the outside, you can't hear what they're saying; you can only assume that Xia Wushen and Zhu Dizhu have some disagreement and are arguing.

Qin Guang shook his head and said helplessly, "With a major battle just around the corner, they still have the leisure to argue."

Zhou Tianqi smiled and said, "It's good for him to have a little argument. Let Lao Xia vent his emotions. Although he doesn't usually say it, he must be under a lot of pressure. Even though he has made so many preparations, he is still very uneasy before Xia Longwu successfully proves his Dao."

Zhou Tianqi's statement was agreed upon by Qin Guang and Yun Jie. After Xia Wudi's death, Xia Wushen placed his feelings and expectations for his son on his grandson, Xia Longwu.

If Xia Longwu were to perish this time, I'd probably... go crazy.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely succeed," Yun Jie said.

······

Not long after.

A large group of people walked towards Yun Jie and his companions.

The Great Shang King was the first to ask, "What's going on in Nan Yuan?"

Yun Jie and his group didn't tell many people about the fake ruins, so many invincible people were still in the dark, which led to the current situation.

At this moment, Xia Wushen and Zhu Dizhu also noticed this place. The two stopped arguing and walked over.

Upon seeing the King of Xia, the King of Song asked in confusion, "What exactly happened in Nan Yuan? Didn't you stay there for a long time before?"

Xia Wushen said calmly, "I don't know. I didn't find it when I was there. Besides, it's normal for Nanyuan to have relics. The other three 'Yuan' all have relics, so there's no reason why Nanyuan shouldn't. It's just that they haven't appeared yet. Now, perhaps for some reason, the Yuan Qi inside has leaked out. Coupled with Su Yu's influence, that's why everyone knows about it."

That's true. If Xia Wushen had discovered the ruins back then, he probably would have claimed them long ago and let Xia Longwu prove his Dao.

Moreover, relics have been found in the Eastern Yuan, Western Yuan, and Northern Yuan periods, so it is not surprising that relics have been found in the Southern Yuan period, since it is said that the Southern Yuan was the fiefdom of King Wen in ancient times.

Perhaps this relic is inextricably linked to King Wen, and it might even have been left behind by him.

All indications suggest that this relic is not simple. The relic they obtained back then did not have such rich spiritual energy. The spiritual energy leaked from the current Nan Yuan relic has already spread to the surrounding area. The spiritual energy concentration of Xingluo Mountain, which is hundreds of miles away from Nan Yuan City, has also increased by several levels.

Moreover, everyone says that Su Yu obtained a part of the inheritance of this relic, otherwise he would never be as monstrous as he is now. Most of his current achievements are thanks to the Nan Yuan Relic.

Previously, people were skeptical about this claim, since the existence of the ruins was still uncertain. However, with the inexplicable rise of the Southern Yuan Qi, people can now be fairly certain that the ruins exist, and thus they have become convinced of its existence.

There must be ruins in Nanyuan City!

And this ruin is far from simple!

Let's get back to the real issues.

After some thought, someone asked, "So what should we do now? No matter who the Nanyuan Ruins belonged to before, they are ultimately relics of the human race. We can't let outsiders take advantage of them!"

Goodness, with just one simple sentence, Su Yu was extricated from the picture, and he immediately claimed to belong to the human race. If one were to oppose him, wouldn't that mean standing on the opposite side of the human race?

With just a simple sentence, a private site was transformed into a public site, allowing everyone present to get a share of the profits.

Upon hearing this, many people fell silent and, with remarkable tacit understanding, turned their gazes toward Qin Guang, Yun Jie, and Xia Wushen.

First of all, Qin Guang, as the strongest among the human race, naturally has an unquestionable right to speak.

Secondly, the former owner of this ruin was Su Yu. Well, in their minds, he has become a thing of the past, because this time the ruin appeared on its own initiative, and Su Yu is now a member of the Great Xuan Mansion. Therefore, they naturally cannot ignore Yun Jie's opinion.

Finally, Nanyuan is, after all, the territory of Daxia Prefecture, which they cannot bypass no matter what. Therefore, Xia Wushen's opinion cannot be ignored either. This man has a bad temper and may draw his sword at the slightest disagreement.

Qin Guang glanced at the Great Yuan King who had spoken, and said in a deep voice, "Then what do you all think we should do? Is there anything else we can do now?"

The invincible warriors looked silently at the powerful and invincible auras surrounding the Eastern Rift Valley. In their current predicament, they could not go anywhere.

"Damn it! This is so frustrating! I really want to rush out and kill these bastards!"

The King of Song cursed under his breath.

The others exchanged glances but said nothing. They knew that this was just the King of Song's angry words; even if he were actually asked to rush out, he wouldn't dare.

At this moment, the Great Han King suddenly said, "Although we cannot leave, we cannot stand by and watch the Nanyuan Ruins fall into the hands of foreign tribes. Here's what we'll do: mobilize the elite troops from each prefecture and have them guard the Nanyuan Ruins at all costs and kill all the invading foreign tribes!"

After he finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement. This was a good suggestion. This way, they would have a legitimate reason to act. They were protecting the ruins from being taken over by the various races, not going to rob them.

They've worked so hard to protect it, so it shouldn't be unreasonable for them to get a small share of the benefits, right?

If that's the case, then no one can really find fault with it. Even if Su Yu comes, he'll have to thank them for helping to protect the ruins.

See, doesn't this mean they've seized the moral high ground?

Of course, for this "small" commission, there are bound to be risks; benefits and risks often go hand in hand.

The myriad races are not stupid. The human realm is the human race's stronghold. If they don't send out their elites, how can they take food from the human race?

In the end, it wouldn't be surprising if even an invincible being from all races sneaked in.

Therefore, their risks are quite significant.

However, it's normal to have risks, as long as the final reward is worth the risks and losses they take.

However, they are not thinking about the harvest right now. Just look at Su Yu. He only obtained a little bit of the things in the ruins, and he has become such a prodigy. If everything in the ruins were excavated, the human race might take off completely.

At this moment, Yun Jie and the others looked at each other with a strange expression. Well, you went to lie down in this mine on your own initiative, and even if they didn't allow it, wouldn't people from other prefectures go instead?

Of course not. Who wouldn't want the benefits?

Qin Guang and Yun Jie exchanged a brief glance, then nodded and said, "Okay, but there's one thing you must remember: the myriad races are our enemies. The things inside the ruins can wait. Don't put the cart before the horse, or else... don't blame me for not showing you any mercy!"

Although Qin Guang agreed to let them "get a share of the pie," he still didn't want them to cause trouble.

What if, before all the races have even begun to emerge, our own people start fighting each other?

If that were to happen, humanity would become a laughingstock among the heavens.

The invincible men's expressions turned solemn. Faced with such a crucial matter, they naturally wouldn't act recklessly.

Soon, they made contact with the Human Realm and quickly explained some things. Apart from leaving some defensive forces behind, all the beings above the Mountain and Sea Realm in the various prefectures of the Human Realm headed to the Great Xia Prefecture under the leadership of their respective prefecture lords.

As for those below the Mountain and Sea Realm, there's no need to bring them along. Bringing them would only make them cannon fodder. This isn't a battle they can participate in. Only those at the Mountain and Sea Realm are qualified to participate, but of course, that's all they are qualified for.

At the same time, Qin Guang declared that the human realm had entered a state of war and ordered the experts from the Heavenly Palace, the Twin Saint Palace, and the Seeking Realm to go to Nan Yuan to provide support. Anyone who disobeyed would be considered a deserter and would be executed without exception!
