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

The crowd fell silent. They had indeed had this idea, and besides, it seemed to be true, didn't it? They had indeed won.

Yun Jie was somewhat angry and retorted, "You only know that the last Tide Race was defeated, but do you know how much power the last Tide Race had?!"

"In the Ninth Tide, the human race had over a hundred Dao Integration experts! There were Heavenly Venerables, Heavenly Kings, and top-tier Dao Integration experts, yet even so, the human race still lost!"

"What? Over a hundred Dao Integration Realm cultivators?"

Everyone was completely stunned. What did "hundreds of Daoist masters" even mean? Wasn't that equivalent to hundreds of half-emperors?

They still lost like that? What about the other races...?

hiss!

Everyone gasped.

"Do you understand now? Don't be complacent because of one victory. It's not time yet. The situation will be even more difficult later! What you need to do is not relax, but become stronger! Keep becoming stronger! When the Upper Realm opens, the Eternal Realm will not be so important. Only those who have reached the Dao will be qualified to participate!"

After reprimanding everyone, Yun Jie turned his gaze to Qin Guang and the others, "Brother, Lao Zhou, do you think three days is enough?"

“That’s enough, keep everything simple,” Qin Guang said, glancing at Su Yu. “Of course, Su Yu, you can make any requests. If not, then we’ll proceed as arranged.”

Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "I do have a request. I hope the ceremony can be held in Nanyuan."

Not only that, Su Yu also wanted to take over Nanyuan. The reasons were simple: firstly, Nanyuan's geographical location, and secondly, Nanyuan had changed drastically. Even though the ruins were gone, Nanyuan's spiritual energy was still very rich, no less than that of the Seeking Realm Holy Land.

Moreover, Nanyuan is his hometown, so it is only natural that it should be Nanyuan.

Yun Jie and the others all looked at Xia Wushen. After all, Nanyuan was the territory of the Great Xia Prefecture, so the host had to give his approval.

Xia Wushen didn't speak, but looked at Xia Longwu, who was now the head of the manor.

Xia Longwu glanced at Su Yu again, thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay."

"Alright, it's decided then. Since the location is in the Great Xia Prefecture, the Great Xia Prefecture will be in charge of the ceremony, and the other prefectures will fully cooperate."

Qin Guang made the decision immediately, decisively and efficiently.

······

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of three days, the human realm was far from peaceful. Legends about Su Yu were circulating everywhere. Some of these legends were true, some were false, and some were only partially true. There were so many rumors, and the people spreading them spoke with such conviction, that most people believed them.

Of course, those so-called fake news stories just exaggerated some of the facts, so it's not a big deal.

The public doesn't care whether it's true or not. If the authorities say it's true, then they believe it's true. The main thing is to enjoy something new and have some fun.

None of the various government departments stopped any of this, allowing the news to spread freely. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was all to create momentum for Su Yu.

As the ruler of the tenth tide, it's only right that he create a buzz. Anyone who takes this position would do the same. Otherwise, if even his own people don't recognize their own ruler, wouldn't that be a laughing stock?

Moreover, although the news has spread, Su Yu still has a long way to go to win back the hearts of the people. The hearts of the people in each prefecture are still with the founding masters and prefecture lords of their respective prefectures.

Over the centuries, the people of each prefecture have come to know who provides them with their current livelihood. Therefore, Su Yu may only have a title at most, and his words may not carry as much weight as those of the prefecture founders or prefecture lords when they reach the lower levels.

However, Su Yu didn't care about that. As long as the higher-ups listened, the people below would naturally follow suit.

Su Yu was well aware that strength was the guarantee that could make the higher-ups obey.

If he is strong enough, everyone has to listen to him; if he is weak, he should just obediently step down.

······

Nanyuan City.

This small town, which was reduced to ruins in the war, was quickly rebuilt after the war and expanded in the last three days.

For a powerful being capable of moving mountains and filling seas, three days would be enough to expand Nanyuan City by a whole circle.

The expanded Nanyuan City can now accommodate at least three million people. Although it hasn't reached ten million, this size is already considered a large city in the human realm.

Further expansion is not out of the question, but that would require including the cities near Nanyuan City, or we would have to flatten Xingluo Mountain. These are the only two options left.

However, Su Yu rejected both options. He felt that things were fine as they were now and there was no need to build such a large city. Besides, more people would consume more vital energy. He also wanted Nanyuan City to be smaller, preferably the same as before.

But that wouldn't be in line with his status as a Holy Lord. This place will become the center of the human realm in the future, and a small city won't do. So, in the end, this was the only option.

today.

It was the day Su Yu was conferred the title of saint.

On this day, high-ranking officials from various prefectures arrived in Nanyuan City one after another, including the prefectural lords.

The Invincibles haven't arrived yet, but no one's paying attention. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll most likely show up when the ceremony is about to begin.

Everyone was making preparations in an orderly manner. They dared not be careless about Su Yu's ascension to sainthood. Not to mention that the attitude of the human race's high-ranking officials was very firm, and they wanted to support Su Yu, Su Yu's strength had already surpassed that of many masters of the state, which was stronger than their backers. How could they dare to be careless?

It's already widely known that Su Yu is petty and narrow-minded. If they catch Su Yu's eye on them, they'll be in for a world of trouble later.

As the time drew closer, the Invincibles arrived one by one. It's best not to put on airs, as it's easy to offend people. Didn't you see that the Great Xuan King, the Great Qin King, and the Great Xia King have already arrived?

Those stronger than Su Yu had already arrived, so those weaker naturally dared not be negligent.

At this moment, Yun Jie and others were receiving guests. Su Yu had been granted the title of Saint, and the human race had invited all their allies. Some of them were very respectful, with half-emperors coming in person. Those who couldn't come sent important figures. In short, the Nan Yuan City Lord's Mansion was packed with distinguished guests today.

soon.

The time has come.

With a loud boom, a throne appeared in the sky, with nine hundred and ninety-nine steps beneath it.

At this moment, it was Su Yu's turn to appear. He stepped onto the first step, and then Yun Jie personally draped a golden robe over his shoulders.

Then Su Yu began climbing the Heavenly Ladder, while Yun Jie sang praises to Su Yu from all directions.

Once Su Yu was seated on the throne, the Great Xuan Palace presented a geomantic map, and all the other palaces followed suit without exception.

The geomantic map is presented, and the destiny of the human race is condensed!

Looking at the condensed human fortune, Doubao muttered, "There's only so little, so little."

Well, Yun Jie glanced at it and saw that it was indeed less, but it wasn't actually that little. It was just that Dou Bao had seen the grandeur of the ancient times, so in comparison, it naturally seemed like a small amount.

However, this was partly due to Yun Jie suppressing his own fortune, as was the case with Zhou Tianqi. Otherwise, the current fortune of the human race could have transformed into a giant golden dragon, but in doing so, many things would have been exposed.

Therefore, suppression is necessary.

But Yun Jie was certain that the human race's fortune was stronger than in the original story, simply because the human race had just defeated all other races, and their fortune had therefore surged. Otherwise...

Suddenly, Doubao said somewhat seriously, "Hey, Xiangxiang, looking at your luck, if this Tide Humans loses again, there probably won't be a next time. In other words, this Tide might be the last Tide."

Yun Jie was speechless. Who was Xiangxiang calling? Was she still thinking about him?

Why learn from your son?

Well, one is the father and the other is the son, so it's hard to say who learned from whom.

Regardless of Yun Jie's inner thoughts, the others frowned upon hearing Dou Bao's words, somewhat surprised, but not particularly so.

They had suspected it for a long time, but now Doubao has confirmed it.

It is said that nine is the extreme and ten is the end, so it doesn't seem surprising that this tide is the last tide.

Qin Guang said calmly, "It doesn't matter if it's the last tide or not. Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

Zhou Tianqi remained silent. He knew more. The enemies of the human race were not just the myriad races; they were merely one obstacle in front of the human race. There were even more terrifying enemies ahead, but... he couldn't say it, and it would be useless to say it now.

Yun Jie remained calm, saying softly, "Whether this is the last tide or not, we must win! If we are all gone, what does it matter if there is another tide? We must win this tide! We can win, and we must win!"

On his throne, Su Yu overheard the conversation. Looking at the densely packed crowd of spectators below, he grinned and roared, "Humanity will prevail!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Yun Jie and the others exchanged glances, remained silent for a few seconds, and then shouted, "Humanity will prevail!"

Wow!

Suddenly, everyone shouted in unison, "Humanity will prevail!"

After a burst of cheers, Yun Jie showed no joy or sorrow, and very decisively knelt on one knee, shouting, "Please crown me, Holy Lord!"

It's just one knee, no big deal. Su Yu used to kowtow to me every year when he was a kid. So what? I can just make him kneel back.

Today, Su Yu is being conferred a sainthood, so he must kneel. He must set an example; otherwise, how can others be expected to kneel willingly?

As Yun Jie knelt down, the others followed suit, even if they were not particularly willing.

"May the Holy Lord crown you!"

"May the Holy Lord crown you!"

The crowd knelt and shouted in worship.

Su Yu didn't hesitate; it was all agreed upon beforehand, so he simply picked up the crown and put it on.

As for mental preparation, he had already prepared himself three days ago. It's just a responsibility, Su Yu will take it on!

Anyway, I'm a human, so I can't run away!

What happened next was similar to the original story, except that there was no interference from the myriad races, no great war broke out, and everything went smoothly.

Just as the ceremony was about to end, Yun Jie, Qin Guang, and a few others suddenly came out.

Several people nodded to Su Yu, and then Qin Guang said loudly, "Today, our clan's Holy Lord ascends the throne. How can we not offer congratulatory gifts? We request to go to war, annihilate both clans, and congratulate our Holy Lord!"

Everyone present changed color. It seemed that apart from Yun Jie and his few friends, no one else knew about it. It must have been something they had planned in private.

Of course, they had also discussed this with Su Yu.

The other invincibles tried to communicate with Yun Jie and the others, asking about the situation, but none of them responded.

The common people below were quite excited, asking, "May I ask, Great King Qin, which two tribes do you intend to exterminate?"

In an instant, everyone craned their necks in anticipation, and even the foreign tribes who had come to observe the ceremony looked over, waiting for Qin Guang's answer.

"The Tianyuan Clan and the Golden-Winged Roc Clan!"

Qin Guang gave the answer directly.

The surroundings fell silent instantly. These were two powerful clans that possessed half-emperors!

At this moment, June and the others secretly sent messages asking if they needed help, but Yun Jie and the others refused. With the current strength of the human race, it would not be difficult to destroy these two races.
