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

The Hongmeng Old Turtle was surprised. "Why stop him? Are you afraid he'll encounter danger? There are plenty of dangerous things. You can't watch over everything. So, your worries are unnecessary. This is the inevitable path for every strong person to rise to power. All strong people fight their way up. Those who fall along the way are the weak."

Xinghong was a little tired and said speechlessly, "Boss, that's not what I meant. Why should I worry about him? He's a menace. I think he'll be fine even if we die."

“I’m worried about others. Once he goes in, he’ll probably stir up another bloodbath. I don’t know how many people will die at his hands. When he comes out, won’t we have to cover for him? I can already foresee that another great battle is about to begin.”

Xing Hong sighed with emotion. It had only been a short time, but with the improvement of his strength, Su Yu was now the city lord of four ancient cities. In addition to Xing Hong Ancient City, there were also Hong Meng, Yun Xiao, and Yu Hong. Once Su Yu came out of Xing Yu Mansion, his ability to withstand death energy would definitely be greatly improved, and he would be able to serve as the city lord of several more cities.

At this moment, the Hongmeng Old Turtle glanced at Xing Hong and said indifferently, "Don't worry about nothing. Do you think this battle could have been avoided without Su Yu? Regardless of whether Su Yu went on a killing spree inside, the war between the human race and the myriad races will still start after he comes out."

Having been caught off guard by Yun Jie in the last battle, and suffering such heavy losses, the myriad races would not let it go easily. Therefore, the end of the Starry Sky Mansion will mark the beginning of another war between the human race and the myriad races, except that this time they will probably have to participate in the war as well.

The next second, the Hongmeng Old Turtle's gaze pierced through the endless void and finally landed on the Starry Sky Mansion. This tide, can the human race... win?

Wen Yi, Su Yu, King Daxuan...

One idea after another, one character after another flashed through the old turtle's mind, and finally settled.

"Boss..."

Xinghong wanted to say something more.

"Alright, that's enough. I'm going to sleep. This is probably the last peaceful night I'll get. We can talk about anything after I wake up."

After saying that, the old tortoise closed its eyes and instantly fell asleep.

She fell asleep instantly.

Xinghong's eyes were full of helplessness. He had actually wanted to say that he was leaving, but he didn't expect that Hongmeng's boss didn't give him the chance.

······

Nine Star Island.

After Xia Wushen arrived with his men, they immediately occupied the eastern side of the island, which has now become human territory.

Xia Wushen looked at everyone with a cold expression and said calmly, "After entering the Starry Sky Mansion, you will be on your own. Try to find your own people and reunite with them first. Don't act rashly on your own. This is not the Human Realm now. You can die if you are not careful."

"I don't want to say too much. I believe that someone has already told you what needs to be told before you came. I will only say one thing: once you go in, if you encounter any alien races, kill them if you can. If you can't kill them, run away and find someone to come back and kill them together. In short, kill them all if you can."

Everyone: "..."

Well, this guy is still as bloodthirsty as ever. Then, everyone's eyes involuntarily shifted to Xia Longwu in the group. He's not much better. Like father, like son.

Despite the stares of the crowd, Xia Longwu remained unmoved, his face still cold and aloof, looking like a handsome but cold-faced guy.

I must say, the Xia family has good genes, unlike the Zhu family... cough cough, no, it's not good to judge a book by its cover.

However, there's nothing wrong with marrying someone based on their appearance.

Soon, Xia Wushen turned his gaze to Zhu Tianfang and said slowly, "Tianfang, you have a calm personality, strong abilities, and are reliable. You will lead the team this time."

"Can……"

Zhu Tianfang hesitated for a moment, then looked at the man in black robes at the back of the group.

Xia Wushen understood his meaning and said calmly, "You don't need to worry about him. He won't care about you or take any action before the Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lotus matures. Just do your own thing."

Finally, Xia Wushen added, "If things are hopeless, then preserving your life should be the priority."

Zhu Tianfang nodded and said earnestly, "I understand."

"Ah."

Then everyone fell silent, waiting quietly for the Starry Sky Mansion to open.

However, some people in the group were looking around, including Wu Lan, Bai Feng, Liu Wenyan, Bai Junsheng, and others.

At this moment, Wu Lan had already gathered with Bai Feng and the others.

Wu Lan transmitted her voice, "Teacher Bai, where is Su Yu?"

Bai Feng quickly rolled his eyes. "If you don't know, how would I know?"

The implication is that you two, if Su Yu doesn't come looking for you, are you going to come looking for me, a teacher who's good for nothing but being handsome?

Wu Lan ignored him and then turned her gaze to Liu Wenyan.

Liu Wenyan slowly shook his head. Su Yu hadn't looked for him either, so it seemed highly unlikely he would come. The ancient city had already flown away.

Suddenly, on a whim, Liu Wenyan used a communication jade talisman to send a message to Su Yu.

Suddenly, Liu Wenyan raised his head sharply, then quickly lowered it again to hide the shock in his eyes.

I go!

I just tried it casually, and it actually worked!

The communication jade talisman in his hand was only effective within a range of a thousand miles, but the ancient city had just flown away, which meant that Su Yu had secretly sneaked back.

Well, I should have known.

Liu Wenyan looked up without speaking. "My student is really bold. I didn't realize he was so bold back in Nanyuan. I only knew he was cunning. Now it seems I misjudged him."

Then Liu Wenyan was speechless. You're here, why bring a communication jade talisman? Are you afraid of being exposed?

Well, Su Yu hadn't expected this either. The main reason was that he thought Liu Wenyan wouldn't dare to come. Bai Feng was fine, but he was too weak, and the myriad races might not target him. But Liu Wenyan was different. Yet, Liu Wenyan actually came. It was just a coincidence.

PS:

That should be it for today. Over five thousand words. If I calculate it, I should be eight thousand words short now, which is about three or four chapters.

Early the next morning.

A large crowd had already gathered around Xingyu Mansion. At first glance, it was a dense, overwhelming mass of people, numbering at least 150,000.

Most importantly, no one was in the air!

Most of them are members of small clans. They don't have a fixed number of slots in the passage, so they have to risk their lives to compete for the 360 ​​special passage slots. It's like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge, or even more brutal, but they have no choice but to come.

As the saying goes, "Take a gamble and you might turn a bicycle into a motorcycle." The Starry Sky Mansion is the kind of place where you can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. Moreover, apart from the Starry Sky Mansion, most of the resources and relics on the battlefield of the heavens have been divided up by the major clans, leaving them with nothing. Therefore, even knowing that it was a matter of life and death, they still came.

Many people from each small tribe came, one after another, for if even one person could break through, it would signify victory.

Forget about whether you gain anything inside. You have to get in before you can talk about this. If you can't even get in, then you definitely won't gain anything.

In the dense crowd, Su Yu and Yun Ying were already hidden, but they knew each other's identities. They were afraid of accidentally killing each other, for no other reason than that they might accidentally squeeze into the same passage. That would be so unlucky.

Therefore, they used air to ensure they wouldn't collide.

Soon, the special passage opened first, and a fierce battle unfolded. The sea around Xingyu Mansion was dyed red, and countless people fell into the sea. Some people could barely keep their lives, even if they were missing limbs, but at least they were still alive. However, most of them were completely destroyed.

Above the void, members of the great clans silently watched all of this, observing the fierce battle below. Some mocked and ridiculed, looking down from a high place; some remained indifferent and unmoved; some were excited and chatted with great interest; some felt pity but were helpless.

The battlefield below was a scene of utter carnage, while the spectators above displayed a spectrum of human emotions. Though separated by only ten thousand meters, the two worlds seemed distinctly separate.

Of course, those fighting below were already used to this. Over the past 100,000 years, the Starry Sky Mansion had been opened thousands of times, and it had always been like this. They were already used to it.

But they did not accept their fate, otherwise they would not have been fighting below. They were aiming to turn their bicycles into motorcycles, and they wanted to become the superior race and look down on everyone else.

If the Starry Sky Mansion opens once every ten years, it should open 10,000 times in 100,000 years, but that's not how it's calculated.

After each tidal shift, the Battlefield of the Heavens closes off, and the vast majority of people cannot enter it. Only a small number of people who are already in the Battlefield of the Heavens can enter, such as the Hunter's Pavilion.

It was through these opportunities that the Hunter's Pavilion accumulated a great deal of wealth, which attracted the attention of many powerful clans. As a result, the Hunter's Pavilion headquarters, including the Overwatch Lord, has always been hidden in the endless void.

Of course, that's not the only reason, but I won't go into details here.

······

Three hours later.

The battlefield meat grinder below has also stopped. The initial tens of thousands of people have now dwindled to only twenty or thirty thousand. The once densely packed crowd now looks somewhat sparse.

The remaining 20,000 to 30,000 people were all injured, and many were missing limbs. Only those at the Sun and Moon Realm or above could regenerate severed limbs, but most of them were at the Mountain and Sea Realm or the Cloud Realm, and a small number were even at the Soaring Realm. This was simply reckless.

Regardless, after a fierce competition, the 360 ​​special passage slots have been determined. As expected, Su Yu and Yun Ying each secured one. They are currently looking at each other, but quickly look away.

After the special passage slots were determined, the fixed passages also appeared. Soon, everyone stepped into them one by one. The 3600 passages turned into black holes and swallowed everyone up. Then, the area around the Starry Sky Mansion returned to calm.

Most people simply left, with only a small number choosing to stay outside. After all, the Starry Sky Mansion takes a month to open and close, so it wouldn't be too late to come back after a month.

With the Starry Sky Mansion closed, the standoff in the endless void temporarily came to an end, and Yun Jie returned from the endless void.

Eastern Rift Valley.

After exchanging a few words with Yun Chen, Yun Jie disappeared again.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived outside Hongmeng City again, and in another flash, he appeared in the city lord's mansion.

City Lord's Mansion.

The Primordial Tortoise opened its eyes, a hint of doubt in them. Didn't the Great Xuan King run away quite quickly last time? Why is he delivering himself to its door again now?

Yun Jie went straight to the point: "Hongmeng Guardian, you must have expected that with the Starry Sky Mansion closed this time, there will inevitably be a battle between us and all races. I am here today to see if we can quietly replace some of the guards with people from our human race."

The Hongmeng Old Turtle looked at Yun Jie with some surprise, "You've sent people?"

“Yes,” Yun Jie nodded. “I know that all the guardians are figures who survived from ancient times. Not only are they highly skilled, but more importantly, they are exceptionally powerful. Therefore, we plan to use some low-level Eternal beings to free the guardians. Of course, this will only be a portion of them for now.”

"However, I can guarantee that before the Upper Realm opens, we will free all the guards. At that time, you will no longer need to guard the Necromancer Passage. Of course, as the Hongmeng Guardian, you will probably have to... suffer a little more."

The Hongmeng Old Turtle calmly said, "Whether I replace him or not is irrelevant; it's just a matter of sleeping in a different place."

Immediately afterward, the Hongmeng Old Turtle changed the subject, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Replacing the garrison is already difficult enough, but you want to replace them quietly? That's going to be difficult, unless..."

At this point, the Hongmeng Old Turtle looked up at the calm and composed Yun Jie, "Unless you have enough council orders, at least ten."

"A councilor's order?" Yun Jie laughed. "Perfect timing. I just borrowed a few from the Iron-Eating Clan and other allied clans, plus the two I got from killing the Dragon Queen, and then there are the ones I collected. In total, I have eleven. I think that should be enough."

Hongmeng was very surprised after hearing this. The human race had actually collected eleven councilor orders without making a sound. Not to mention him, the immortals, gods, demons and other races probably wouldn't have expected it either.

There are a total of 99 councilor orders. Excluding the eleven that the human race has, do the immortals, gods, and demons have a total of eleven councilor orders? Probably not. At most, there might be eight or nine. Most of the councilor orders have been taken to the upper realm, and very few have remained in the lower realm.

There was a moment of silence between the two sides.

The Hongmeng Old Turtle said, "With eleven councilor orders, plus our joint suppression, it shouldn't be too difficult to cover it up. We can give it a try."

As he spoke, Hongmeng was also somewhat pleased. From ancient times to the present, a full 100,000 years had passed, and everyone was about to usher in the dawn and finally be free.

Then the Hongmeng Old Turtle asked, "I wonder how many guardians you plan to replace?"
