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

Night fell once more, and everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion, a hallucination they had created.

But they knew it wasn't!

"King Wen!"

On the other side, the group of half-emperors gasped in shock. Could it be that King Wen hadn't disappeared? Had he been sleeping in the human realm all along?

Tian Gu frowned. In his opinion, this should just be a phantom left over from many years ago, but... he couldn't be sure for sure. What if it was?

When King Wen disappeared without a trace, no one knew where he went. What if he was seriously injured and had been sleeping in the human realm ever since?

Tian Gu didn't dare to gamble, and neither did anyone else. To be precise, nobody dared!

That was King Wen!

In an instant, countless thoughts arose in their minds. If things were really as they thought, then things would be in big trouble!

In all the realms today, even including the Upper Realm, who could be a match for King Wen? All of them combined wouldn't be enough to match the wealth King Wen alone could generate!

In order to find out what was going on, orders were issued from all sides.

"Quickly! All of you, get to the human realm right now! I need all the information!"

Originally, they deployed most of their invincibles around the Eastern Rift Valley to prevent any human from attaining enlightenment. They did not pay much attention to the Human Realm or the Southern Yuan Ruins. Therefore, they only arranged for a small number of invincibles to infiltrate the Human Realm, and these were all only in their third incarnation.

But now the various races' semi-emperors can't care about that anymore. They have directly dispatched half of their forces to the human realm. They won't be able to eat or sleep until they figure everything out as soon as possible!

King Wen! A being of unparalleled stature, just thinking about him sends chills down my spine!

······

On the other side, the thirty-six ancient towns also became lively. People who usually focused on resisting the death aura and rarely showed up also joined in.

"Boss, was that really King Wen just now?"

The big monkey, oh no, I mean, the one who seemed the most eager, was Tianmie.

As soon as he spoke, the others followed suit. In their view, Hongmeng must know, not for any other reason than that he had lived a long time.

Hongmeng glanced at everyone but didn't speak. His brows were furrowed. He felt that this matter was definitely related to Wen Yi. Perhaps Wen Yi had opened this ruin, or perhaps Wen Yi had deliberately created this strange phenomenon. So, what was his intention?

······

······

What exactly is Wen Yi's intention?

Hongmeng thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up. He wasn't cut out for using his brain, so why make things difficult for himself?

"Boss!"

The crowd called out.

Hongmeng snapped out of his daze and said dryly, "It should be... I guess."

Tianmie exclaimed excitedly, "Does that mean we're finally free?! King Wen has appeared, which means the ancient imperial court should be returning soon! That's wonderful!"

Tianmie voiced everyone's thoughts at once; he wasn't the only one who thought this way, and the others were equally looking forward to it.

but……

"Don't be too happy yet, that was just an illusion, not King Wen..."

Hongmeng knew he shouldn't say anything discouraging at this time, but he was even more afraid that people would be filled with expectations only to be met with endless disappointment. He feared that some people would not be able to bear such emotional ups and downs and would break down!

At this point, some people were on the verge of collapse. Ten thousand years is really... far too long!

For him, 100,000 years is just a long sleep. He often sleeps for 10,000 to 20,000 years at a time. But this is based on his species. Turtles love to sleep and have long lifespans, but other species are not like that!

Aside from Hongmeng, everyone else is awake most of the time!

Moreover, they had no way to cultivate. They resisted the erosion of death energy day and night. After 100,000 years, their cultivation and strength remained stagnant, and some even regressed.

Anyway, that's pretty much the situation. Therefore, HarmonyOS felt it was necessary to wake them up and stop them from having any illusions.

Hongmeng's words of cold water chilled everyone to the bone. Tianmie shook his head repeatedly and shouted, "No, it must be King Wen! Everyone felt that aura just now, right? There's no mistake! Absolutely no mistake!"

"That aura was far inferior to that of the real King Wen..."

Swish!

Everyone's faces turned deathly pale, and several of them even staggered back a few steps.

Seeing their condition, Hongmeng quickly said, "Don't worry, everyone, I've found a way to alleviate your death aura!"

"Um!?"

Everyone looked up instantly, all staring at the Primordial Tortoise.

Then, the Hongmeng Old Tortoise began to explain to them.

······

Eastern Rift Valley.

When Qin Guang and the others approached Yun Jie, the shock in their eyes had not yet completely faded.

Qin Guang asked in disbelief, "Yun Jie, was that you who did that?! Or did our fake ruins run into the real ones?"

Yun Jie glanced at them; their expressions varied. Zhou Tianqi remained calm, Xia Wushen was surprised with a hint of disbelief, and Qin Guang was half shocked and half incredulous.

Not only that, Jiang Yao and Yun Chen were also amazed by Yun Jie's work, which was astonishing!

Moreover, they had no doubt that this was a genuine relic, and that it must have been created by Yun Jie.

Under the gazes of the others, Yun Jie slowly nodded: "Ah, it was indeed me who did it. How about it? Realistic enough, right? The myriad races are definitely going to be restless now! This will greatly increase the chances of Yun Chen, Yun Ying, and the others attaining enlightenment!"

"But this..."

Qin Guang wanted to say that it was unbelievable. The aura and pressure of the phantom just now had frightened not only the myriad races, but also them. How did Yun Jie manage to do that?

Yun Jie understood what they were thinking, so he explained, "I borrowed the Multi-Divine Script Battle Technique Tablet from Su Yu before, and then I discovered something interesting, so I made it out. I didn't know it would turn out like this at first."

Yun Jie's reasoning here cannot withstand scrutiny and has many loopholes. But among those present, besides Zhou Tianqi, who else knew about the Wen Tombstone?

Xia Wushen had seen him, but he had never touched him. As long as Zhou Tianqi didn't expose him, he could make up whatever he wanted.

So, will Zhou Tianqi expose him? Definitely not.

Besides, as long as Wen's tombstone is still in Su Yu's hands, no one can expose his lie in a short time. Yun Jie only intends to keep it a secret for a while. In the future, his identity as "Wen Yi" will definitely be exposed, and then these things will no longer need to be explained.

Zhou Tianqi's gaze was slightly strange. He was now certain that Yun Jie was likely on King Wen's side. Although he didn't know why Yun Jie had never appeared before, Zhou Tianqi felt that he was probably right.

He had previously suspected that Yun Jie was either on the side of the Prison King or the side of the Wen King. Through this incident at the ruins, his opinion quickly shifted to the side of the Wen King.

Therefore, he gave Yun Jie a deep look, and Yun Jie returned the smile; the two understood each other without saying a word.

Yun Jie then added, "Let's leave the matter of the ruins for now. The myriad races will definitely not sit idly by this time; they will surely send a large number of invincible beings to the human realm to investigate the situation."

Yun Jie smiled and said, "If we don't figure out the situation in the human realm, the myriad races will probably be restless this time. When that happens, the pressure on the battlefield of the heavens will drop sharply, and Yun Chen and the others will find it easier to prove their Dao."

As they were talking, they noticed that several invincible auras had disappeared outside the East Rift Valley. Originally, there were twenty-nine invincible auras surrounding the East Rift Valley, but now only twenty-four remained. Five of them had left!

Not only that, but also invincible figures from all walks of life have been mobilized. Yun Jie glanced at them and saw that there were more than ten people in total. Adding the eight people who had just disappeared, the number of invincible figures heading to the Human Realm this time has reached a terrifying eighteen!

Yun Jie pondered for a moment. It seemed that the human realm really couldn't hold on this time. These were not eighteen invincible beings with three incarnations. They were all in a state of three bodies combined!

Forget it, the primary goal of these invincible races is the ruins. We'll get some of them into the ruins and use them to trap them.

Judging from the current strength of the ruins, even if ten or eight invincible beings are trapped, they will not be able to break through the ruins' space in a short period of time. They will have to deal with the outside first, and then deal with the inside of the ruins.

At this moment, Xia Wushen suddenly asked, "So, do Lao Zhu and Lao Liu still need to 'betray' us now?"

Originally, they only intended to use the betrayals of Landlord Zhu and Liu Jin to attract and restrain the Invincible Race, creating opportunities for others to attain enlightenment, but now it seems...

Too many invincible beings are heading to the human realm. If Lord Zhu "betrays" again, what will the human realm use to resist? Can they rely solely on those near-invincible beings? That's definitely not enough; they won't be able to stop them either.

This is also Yun Jie's fault. He suddenly made such a big fuss without telling them in advance, which caught them off guard. Now many things that were agreed upon can't be done.

"Isn't it unnecessary? If we betray again, there will be no one left in the human realm..."

Well, Zhou Tianqi was speechless at this moment. His plan had been going well, but it suddenly fell through.

"Let's leave the fake betrayal aside. Although it's not what we expected, the result is about the same. The pressure on the battlefield of the heavens has indeed decreased a lot. In addition, with the support of the Hundred Races Alliance on the periphery, and Xia Longwu himself creating the Holy City Alliance, the chances of everyone successfully proving their Dao this time are very high."

Qin Guang thought about it and also felt that the fake betrayal was unnecessary and impossible to carry out.

"Alright, tell them to get ready. Once the invincible battle breaks out in the human realm, they must immediately prove their Dao!"

Suddenly.

Qin Guang stood up and made a decision.

······

Here.

Yun Jie patted Su Yu on the shoulder and said to him, "Xuan Jiu, let's hurry up and go! The ruins have appeared! Let's leave Zhou Mingren and the others for now and wait for them to come to Nanyuan."

Su Yu was still in shock, his mouth not yet fully agape. He mechanically turned his head and asked, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you."

"..."

That's enough for now. You'll be shocked later!

Yun Jie said again, "I said, the ruins have appeared, let's hurry to Nanyuan. We can kill Zhou Mingren and the others whenever we want, but we can't let others take the ruins!"

Okay, Su Yu heard clearly now. But, you don't want others to take the ruins? So you, a mere Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator, want to monopolize the ruins?

Utterly speechless!

Is this confidence or stupidity? Without a doubt, it's the latter—utterly stupid!

However, it was indeed time to go to Nanyuan. Su Yu glanced back at the direction of the capital, then turned to Huang Jiu and said, "Let's go!"

Swish!

The two vanished from the spot in an instant.

Not only the two of them, but at this moment, countless powerful figures from the Human Realm flew towards Nan Yuan. Apart from leaving behind a portion of their defensive forces, they all mobilized.
