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

Battlefield of the Heavens.

The two sides ceased fighting not long after.

A loud bang suddenly came from the direction of the Starry Sea, and a huge realm appeared, with many dragon shadows on it. Illusory dragon shadows wandered on the surface of the dragon realm.

"Dragon Clan Seals the Boundary!"

The War Dragon King roared, and the heavens trembled.

Immediately afterwards, several invincible dragons, filled with intense resentment and regret, turned into statues and stood guard at the boundary passage.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the figures turned into sculptures are the very ones who survived the great battle. The four of them occupy the four cardinal directions, firmly sealing off the boundary passage of the Dragon Realm.

Finally, the Dragon King sacrificed himself, transforming into the barrier of the realm, thus completely sealing off the Dragon Realm.

However, the price they paid was enormous; a total of five invincible warriors perished, sacrificing their lives to complete the sealing of the realm.

Sealing off a boundary means sacrifice.

In their view, if anyone had to sacrifice themselves, it would be them. The Dragon Emperor would die because of them, and if they didn't die, they wouldn't be able to face their fellow dragons. So, they might as well die, which would be a way of making amends...

The dragon clan's sealing of the boundary went smoothly, with all parties watching quietly and no one intervening.

Eastern Rift Valley.

Yun Jie, Qin Guang, and more than sixty other invincible beings watched quietly until the Dragon Realm sealed off.

At this moment, Yun Jie finally spoke up: "You've all seen it, haven't you? This is the consequence of defeat. If we are defeated in the future, the situation will be even more serious than that of the Dragon Clan, because they can seal off their territory and avoid war, but we cannot!"

The human realm is special!

No sooner had Yun Jie finished speaking than someone behind him asked impatiently, "Great Xuan King, were you a polytheistic civilization master before?"

Yun Jie turned around, looked at them, and found that their expressions were exactly the same, all filled with anticipation. He then chuckled and said, "I guess so."

"Great!"

The crowd cheered, their faces beaming with smiles. They no longer cared why Yun Jie had hidden himself before; all they knew was that Yun Jie was a Civilization Master, cultivated polytheistic scripts, and had now successfully achieved Dao Integration. That was enough.

Seeing the joyful crowd, Yun Jie couldn't bear to shatter their beautiful dream, but... beautiful dreams must eventually be shattered, and after waking up, one still has to face reality.

Yun Jie slightly raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

The crowd was very "well-behaved" and quickly quieted down.

At this moment, Yun Jie sighed and said, "I know what you're thinking. You just want me to activate the Human Realm Suppression Force, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, even Zhou Tianqi, Yun Chen, and Yun Ying pretended to know nothing, since everyone else had agreed and they couldn't let themselves stand out.

Yun Jie sighed again: "What if I told you that I also cannot activate the Human Realm Suppression Force?"

"What!?"

Yun Jie's words struck everyone like a bolt from the blue, leaving them stunned and frozen in place.

Yun Jie said seriously, "I said, I also cannot activate the Human Realm Suppression Force. The so-called claim that invincible civilization masters can activate suppression forces is ultimately just our speculation. As it turns out, this speculation is wrong..."

Reality is cruel, but Yun Jie has no choice but to make them face it.

Clang!

Someone almost lost their balance, but luckily someone nearby caught them in time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a good look for the mighty Wudi to fall to the ground.

At a glance, Yun Jie realized that almost all the people exhibiting this behavior were peace advocates like the King of Liang. Many of them had been trying their best to delay the inevitable in order to activate the Human Realm Suppression Force, but... Ye Batian failed, and now, he has failed again!

Seeing everyone's distraught appearance, Yun Chen and Yun Ying exchanged a glance. Luckily, they had held back from saying anything earlier. If this had happened during a major battle, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

after awhile.

Even Qin Guang had to accept this fact. Although he hadn't had much hope to begin with, he was still disappointed when he heard Yun Jie's answer.

However, now is not the time to be discouraged. He glanced at Yun Jie and found that Yun Jie did not intend to speak, so he stepped forward.

"Everyone, cheer up! The idea of ​​activating the Human Realm Suppression Force was just our conjecture, and now it has only been proven wrong. So what if there is no Human Realm Suppression Force? We have still won today, haven't we?!"

“Hundreds of years ago, we only had forty-odd invincible individuals, and we managed to hold on back then. Now, we have sixty-eight invincible individuals and one top-tier Dao Integration expert. Our strength has more than doubled. Do you still think that the human race has no chance of victory?”

Xia Wushen also cursed and said, "That's right! So what if you can't activate the Human Realm Suppression Power? So what if you can't activate it! You can still kill enemies. Look at you guys now, people who don't know better would think your fathers have died."

"Go to hell, you're the one whose father died!"

In an instant, curses erupted. Even though their father had long since died, you can't say that!

Xia Wushen wasn't angry, after all, he was the one who started it first. He said indifferently, "My father is indeed dead."

That's a lot...

Okay, no problem.

However, after Xia Wushen stirred things up, everyone's mood wasn't so heavy anymore.

So, sometimes swearing can really relieve stress...

Of course, don't swear unnecessarily; medical expenses are quite expensive.

At this moment, everyone unconsciously turned their gaze to Yun Jie. Here, he had the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength. Gradually, he seemed to have replaced Qin Guang and become the backbone of everyone.

They seemed to be waiting for Yun Jie to give orders.

Yun Jie grinned: "A great victory! Congratulations! I'll treat you all to dragon meat, dragon meat from the Dao Integration Realm!"

"it is good!"

Yun Chen was the first to respond, and the others followed suit with smiles. After such a great victory, it was indeed time to celebrate properly and send the news back to the human realm to boost everyone's morale.

Moreover, I wonder what dragon meat at the Dao Integration Realm tastes like...

However, the crowd did not disperse immediately. Qin Guang looked at Yun Jie, who was pretending to be stupid, and said helplessly, "Yun Jie, shouldn't you accept the position of the ruler? I think no one will object now."

Qin Guang immediately wanted Yun Jie to become the current ruler. In the past, although everyone outwardly listened to him, they were ultimately still a step behind. His strength was not enough to subdue everyone, but now, Yun Jie could.

As soon as Qin Guang finished speaking, someone chimed in, "That's right, Great Xuan King, don't play dumb. Now that you have achieved Dao, you are the strongest, and the Great Xuan Palace is also the strongest. If you take the position of ruler, we will all be convinced and will obey your every command from now on."

They did not object to Yun Jie taking the throne, after all, he was a brother who fought alongside them in the past, and it was not unacceptable for him to become the ruler now.

As for Qin Guang, firstly, he himself was not very willing, otherwise he would have had the opportunity to become the ruler back then; secondly, although his strength was not bad, it was still somewhat lacking.

Now that they finally have a powerful and influential figure like the Great Xuan Mansion and the Great Xuan King, they naturally have to support them.

However... Yun Jie definitely wouldn't agree.

“Listen to me, everyone,” Yun Jie said calmly, having anticipated this outcome. “Thank you all for your kind words, but I think it’s best to forget about the position of ruler. I am neither suitable nor willing to take it.”

"what?"

Everyone was shocked. Had they refused?

But why? Isn't the position of ruler appealing?

“Great Xuan King, that’s not fair of you. You can’t make excuses like this. You’re not suitable? But who else is suitable besides you? We won’t accept anyone else besides you.”

Yun Jie said calmly, "I think there is someone who is quite suitable."

Upon hearing this, everyone asked in confusion, "Who?"

"Su Yu."

"Su Yu? What a joke!? What makes him worthy of being the ruler? He's just a mere Ling Yun, a mere junior. Besides, he's trapped in the ancient city now, and it's uncertain whether he'll ever be able to return to the human realm. He's practically useless."

Upon hearing this, Zhu the Landlord and the others, who had previously been invincible in the battles of the human realm, all showed strange expressions, as they were all insiders.

Su Yu is trapped in the ancient city? Nonsense! He's lively and energetic, looking perfectly fine.

Su Yu is crippled? That's nonsense! Before, he needed external help to kill Sun-Moon level enemies, but now? Even without external help, he can fight Sun-Moon level enemies. Is that crippled? It's more like a leap forward!

"Ahem," seeing the crowd's indignation, Landlord Zhu felt it necessary to speak up for Su Yu, after all, he was the first to catch Su Yu.

"Everyone, have you heard of me? Su Yu is alive and well, still able to jump and play. I ran into him in the Human Realm a few days ago. He was in good spirits and hadn't been affected by the ancient city at all."

Landlord Zhu continued, "Oh, by the way, in the battle at the Nanyuan Ruins, he also fought several Sun-Moon level cultivators head-on. Just a reminder, this time he didn't rely on any external forces; he killed them with his own true strength."

"This……"

No way? Su Yu returned to the Human Realm and even participated in the Southern Yuan War? You must be kidding me!

"Old Zhu, you're not lying to us, are you?"

The crowd was skeptical.

“I can attest to what the Great Ming King said; that is indeed the truth.”

At this moment, Nan Wujiang spoke.

Subsequently, many people who had met Su Yu also spoke up to vouch for him.

After hearing this, everyone had no choice but to believe it.

After a long pause, someone said dryly, "Even so, I still don't think he can become the ruler of humanity. He... is too weak."

Besides being weak, there was another factor: age. Su Yu was too young for everyone present. If Su Yu became the leader, where would they put their faces?

It's understandable that they would find it hard to accept bowing down to a junior.

Unless Su Yu can overpower them with his strength, even if they agree on the surface, Su Yu will only have the title but no real power and will not be able to command them at all.

Above the Eastern Rift Valley.

The group of invincible individuals appeared chaotic, each offering their own opinion, which was mostly opposition.

Of course, most of the people who objected were the established rulers of their own prefectures; those who had just attained enlightenment basically didn't say much.

In particular, the invincible members of the Great Xuan Mansion all supported Yun Jie's decision and had no objections.

"Gentlemen, please hear me out."

Seeing that they were still rambling on, Yun Jie had no choice but to interrupt them.
