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

Yun Jie and the others had no objections, and so the matter was settled.

······

······

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and in just one more day, it will be the opening day of the Starry Sky Mansion.

After more than half a month of selection, the personnel from each prefecture who would go to the Xingyu Mansion were also selected. The number was not large, in fact, very small, only about a hundred people. Among them, people from the Da Xuan, Da Qin, Da Zhou, and Da Xia prefectures accounted for half, and the rest were people from other major prefectures, including the Da Ming prefecture.

Everyone knows the prevailing atmosphere in Daming Prefecture. At first, no one was willing to sign up. In the end, Zhu Tiandao felt ashamed and designated a few people, including Cui Lang and Bai Junsheng.

The personnel configuration of the three prefectures of Qin, Xia, and Zhou is largely the same as in the original work; they are basically the same people. The only change is that Liu Wenyan also went along.

Next up is Da Xuan. There are quite a few people from Da Xuan, including descendants of high-ranking officials such as Zhang Tianheng, Chen Dao, Ji Lan, and Lin Xu, as well as some students from the academy. Wu Lan is also among them.

Then it was Wudi's turn. Lin Tong, Chen Ping, and the others also went along, mainly because they were afraid that all the younger generation would die. Their presence would provide some support.

These are the people from the Great Xuan Mansion who are openly going to enter the Starry Sky Mansion. There are definitely others in secret as well, such as Yun Ying. She is a restless person. Originally, Yun Chen also wanted to go, but Yun Jie stopped him. With Zhou Tianqi and Yun Ying there, nothing serious will happen, so it doesn't matter if Yun Chen goes too.

Like Su Yu, Yun Ying also planned to take the special passage, but given her strength, she would most likely be teleported directly to the sixth or seventh floor.

Of course, this is almost always the case with invincible individuals; they are unlikely to be present in the first three levels. Otherwise, those below the invincible level wouldn't need to participate.

With someone so invincible, what's the point of anyone else fighting over him? They might as well just give up and go to sleep.

This time, Zhou Tianqi also entered Xingyu Mansion, so the outside world mainly relied on Yun Jie to conceal their whereabouts.

At this moment, from the outside perspective, Qin Guang still sat alone with his spear atop the Eastern Rift Valley. Even though the human race now had a powerful clan leader, he still did not leave the Eastern Rift Valley.

On the other side, Zhou Tianqi was inspecting the military camp, Xia Wushen was in charge of leading the team to the Star Sea, and only Zhu Dizhu disappeared. However, a mysterious figure dressed in black robes inexplicably appeared in the human race team.

Only a few people knew that the man in black robes was actually Qin Guang; in the eyes of the vast majority, the man in black robes was Zhu the landlord.

Zhou Tianqi concealed his true intentions well; he was currently just an insignificant prodigy in the Great Zhou Prefecture, and no one paid him any attention.

As for Yun Jie, he was currently confronting Tian Gu and others in the endless void. For all races, they needed to confirm Yun Jie's whereabouts.

If Yun Jie secretly follows them into the Starry Sky Mansion, they will immediately attack the human race.

······

The void beyond the battlefield of the heavens is the endless void.

The endless void is vast; places like the Heavenly Watcher and even the headquarters of the Heavenly Hunter Pavilion are hidden here.

Besides these, there are various realms, large and small, which are also located in the endless void.

Beyond the endless void lies chaos.

To put it more intuitively, it's like an egg. The battlefield of the heavens is the yolk, the endless void is the egg white, and chaos is the eggshell, just like a nesting doll.

As for the Upper Realm, it's even simpler. It was created by the Human Emperor and his people in the chaos, which is equivalent to him occupying a small piece of the "eggshell". It is actually still part of the "egg".

Therefore, the above explains the relationship between the Battlefield of the Heavens, the Endless Void, Chaos, and the Upper Realm.

anyway.

The once tranquil and deathly silent endless void was unusually lively today, with five top-level Dao Integration Realm experts facing off from afar, their overwhelming aura sweeping across thousands of miles of void, constantly vibrating.

The five people are Yun Jie, Tian Gu, Ji Wu, Mo Yue, and Jian Tian Hou.

Of course, Mo Yue is not a top-tier Dao Integration cultivator. He is a Demon Emperor who achieved Dao Integration through the Three Body Technique during the Seventh Tide. His strength is much weaker than the others present. At most, he is about the same as the deceased Dragon Emperor. However, since no one is unleashing their full power, there doesn't seem to be much difference between them.

However, Mo Yue himself was also aware that his strength was inferior to the other four, and he was the weakest among them. Therefore, he was very low-key and had not said a word from the beginning.

Tian Gu, Ji Wu, Mo Yue, and Jian Tian Hou each occupied a position, their auras locking Yun Jie firmly in the center. The four of them combined their auras and pressed down on Yun Jie.

The powerful air pressure caused Yun Jie's robes to flutter wildly. Despite the pressure from the four people, Yun Jie remained unfazed and continued to smile.

Yun Jie chuckled and said, "Gentlemen, why have you suddenly made such a big fuss today? Are you planning to join forces to keep me here?"

Tian Gu's eyes flickered slightly. After exchanging glances with Ji Wu and the others, he calmly said, "It's not impossible."

"Lord Tiangu suddenly came here without saying a word, and I've been looking for him for ages."

At that moment, a discordant voice rang out.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was Dao Qi.

"Dao Qi, what are you doing here again? We can resolve matters within the Immortal Clan privately; there's no need to make a fool of ourselves in front of outsiders."

The moment Tian Gu saw Dao Qi, he was completely taken aback. His face turned extremely ugly, his eyes turned icy cold, and he was filled with murderous intent.

Meanwhile, the others all showed expressions of schadenfreude, but Ji Wu and the others were somewhat restrained and it wasn't particularly obvious, after all, they now had a common enemy.

As for Yun Jie, he has no such concerns, and besides, Dao Qi is him!

"Hahaha, Tian Gu, what a misfortune for the family! Why don't you just abdicate and give way to a more capable person? I think Brother Dao Qi would definitely be no worse than you as an Immortal Emperor. You've been an Immortal Emperor for 100,000 years, why bother? It's time to make way for the younger generation."

As he spoke, Yun Jie turned his gaze to Mo Yue, "Look at this guy, isn't he the rising star of the Demon Clan? Oh right, is your father dead yet? If he's not, let him come out and have a chat, it'll be more lively with more people."

Veins bulged on Mo Yue's forehead as he coldly said, "After you die, I can have my father go to your grave to have a chat."

Yun Jie waved his hand dismissively and said, "Forget it then. Even if your father dies, I won't die."

Then, ignoring Mo Yue, Yun Jie turned his gaze to Jian Tianhou and said with a half-smile, "Jian Tianhou, do you know? Lord Wen is currently watching this place silently from across the ruins. Lord Wen said that he is extremely disappointed with what you have done over the years. He asked me to tell you that it won't be long before he cleans up your house."

The Heavenly Marquis's eyelids twitched. He knew Yun Jie was bluffing him, but he couldn't help being afraid. The psychological trauma left by King Wen was too great, so much so that he had lived in fear for 100,000 years. It wasn't until this tide that he finally made up his mind to be an enemy of the human race.

He just didn't expect Yun Jie to do something like this a while ago, which scared him again.

To this day, no one knows that the Nanyuan Ruins were a forgery by Yun Jie. Everyone believes that they were left behind by King Wen, including the Heavenly Guardian.

This rekindled his fear of King Wen. He thought he had overcome it, but in reality, he had not. The nightmare of "King Wen" still lingered in his mind and could not be shaken off.

At this moment, the Marquis of Jiantian's face turned a little pale, but he remained calm. "Great Xuan King, there's no need to use such words to scare people. King Wen? King Wen has been dead for 100,000 years. Do you think he can just jump out of his grave?"

"Heh," Yun Jie sneered, "I didn't expect the Marquis of Jiantian to be so naive. Do you really think King Wen is dead? If someone like King Wen were to perish, how could it be without a sound? Besides, did all the ancient kings and emperors of various races die without a sound?"

The next moment, Yun Jie stared intently at the Heavenly Watcher and said in a deep voice, "Just wait, the ancient kings will eventually return, and that will be the death knell for you, the traitor!"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Marquis's heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't want to admit it, the truth might be as the Great Xuan King said: many ancient human kings, including the emperors of all races, were probably not dead yet, but were fighting somewhere, and they would return one day.

At this moment, Ji Wu's voice suddenly rang out: "Who said that the victorious ones are necessarily the Human Emperor and his allies? When the ancient imperial court was destroyed, King Wen and King Wu were missing for a long time. The Human Emperor is indeed strong, but what does it matter how strong he is? The emperors of various races are not weak, and their numbers far exceed those of the Human King."

Ji Wu knew that if he didn't give Jian Tianhou some confidence and reassurance, his fighting spirit would probably be broken down by the Great Xuan King in just a few words.

Of course, it's only a possibility, not a certainty. The will of the Heavenly Watcher isn't that bad, but Ji Wuke doesn't want to gamble.

Hearing Ji Wu's words, Jian Tianhou felt much more at ease. It was undeniable that he had been afraid just now, but he wasn't so afraid that he would immediately surrender to the human race. He wasn't that pathetic.

His expression gradually turned cold, and he said to Yun Jie, "The Great Xuan King is indeed a master of civilization, eloquent and persuasive. It's just a pity that he can't scare me. Ten thousand years have passed. Since King Wen and the others have not returned, it means they can't come back now. Perhaps even if we wait another ten thousand years, they still won't be able to come back. So how can they scare me?"

Seeing the stubborn Jian Tianhou, Yun Jie smiled and stopped talking. Anyway, he couldn't kill Jian Tianhou now, otherwise the Upper Realm would give birth to a Ruler.

It's not that we're going to prevent the birth of a Ruler in the Upper Realm, but we can't unseal it too quickly. We need to ensure that the human race has the combat power of a Ruler before we proceed. Otherwise, he'll expose even more of his strength, which wouldn't be good.

A sudden surge in strength might be understandable once, but if it happens repeatedly, it becomes unacceptable. Eventually, everyone will know that you have a problem, and a big one at that!

Therefore, Yun Jie will not reveal his strength again in the short term.

To reiterate, the strength of a top-tier Dao Integration Realm cultivator is sufficient to handle many battles ahead; at least, it should be enough to pacify the myriad realms.

In the endless void.

Yun Jie was chatting and laughing with Tian Gu, Jian Tianhou and the others. Even though the other side had a large number of people, Yun Jie was not flustered at all.

It wasn't entirely because of his own strength; part of it was because the other group wasn't of one mind. They each had their own ideas and ulterior motives, and these were the enemies that were least worth worrying about.

The most terrifying enemy is the one that is united and desperate; that is the most terrifying. As for the "rabble" of the myriad races, they may seem scary, but in reality, they are not so bad.

A mob may be able to fight when things are going well, but once the wind turns against them, they will scatter like birds and beasts.

If the Marquis of Jiantian and the others really join forces to deal with him, he doesn't need to reveal too much of his strength. As long as he focuses on attacking the Demon Emperor alone, how could the Demon Emperor not be afraid?

If sacrificing the Demon Emperor alone could eliminate Yun Jie, would Ji Wu and the others hesitate?

Obviously not!

Moreover, if Yun Jie were to take Mo Yue down with him, they would immediately have two fewer enemies, so why not?

Of course, Mo Yue wasn't stupid. He would definitely run away if he encountered a crisis. Compared to killing the enemy, his own life was more important. Therefore, Yun Jie wasn't worried about them joining forces at all.

Of course, the Marquis of Jiantian and his companions would not attack Yun Jie casually.

Firstly, they themselves are aware of their own problems; they are not of one mind.
