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

Yun Jie waved his hand impatiently and said.

"Hurry up and go down. There's still a lot to do at the new base. I'm leaving it to you."

After saying that, Yun Jie left the Netherworld Clan's encampment and headed towards the Mountain of People.

Just as Yun Jie reached the outside of the demon clan's territory, Mo Tianzun appeared.

Mo Tianzun: "Brother Dao..."

“Brother Motian, you’ve arrived quite quickly,” Yun Jie said with a half-smile, “I’m just passing by, Brother Motian, there’s no need for you to follow me.”

Motianzun chuckled and said, "It's alright, my demon clan's territory is quite large. I was just afraid you might get lost."

"Okay, then you can come along."

Yun Jie ignored him and walked ahead. As for Mo Tianzun, he could follow if he wanted.

Before long, Yun Jie crossed the demon territory and arrived at the mountain of people.

This was Yun Jie's first time setting foot in Renshan. He had seen it from afar a few times before, but never gotten close. Everyone knew that this place was a bit eerie.

The Human Emperor's Great Dao is still very terrifying; one can easily fall into its trap if one is not careful.

The most terrifying aspect of the Human Emperor's Path is that its influence is subtle, profound, and enduring. It is difficult to detect and resist, and one can only be affected by it little by little.

Of course, because it is a gradual process, it takes a long time, especially for strong individuals. The stronger they are, the longer it takes.

For the weak, there's no need to do that. With one strike from the Human Emperor, he can either kill them or reform them.

Isn't that what happened to the Great Zhou King? He was originally an undercover agent working for the Human Emperor, but under the Human Emperor's influence, he gradually became the Human Emperor's loyal subordinate.

Yun Jie strolled leisurely atop the mountain of people. Upon closer inspection, he could indeed sense a mysterious force influencing him. The force was weak, yet it was continuous.

In other words, there was no human emperor to control them. Otherwise, he could have "converted" all the people near the mountain of people in an instant, making them devoted to the human race and even willing to sacrifice themselves for it.

Su Yu named the Human Emperor's Great Dao the Great Dao of Responsibility, but Yun Jie thought it should be called the Great Dao of Bewitching or the Great Dao of Salvation, which would be more appropriate.

Over there, seeing that Yun Jie did not do anything unusual, Mo Tianzun was relieved. He was afraid that "Ming Tianzun" would feel unbalanced and cause trouble in the Demon Realm.

If that were to happen, it would be difficult for him to stop it, since he was the only Celestial Venerable among the Demon Clan who had awakened, while the other two were still asleep.

However, after the conclusion of this All Races Council, Mo Tianzun planned to go to the Land of Dao Origin to awaken Mo Tian. Otherwise, he would always lack confidence when facing powerful opponents on his own.

Regardless of what Mo Tianzun was thinking, Yun Jie wandered around for a bit before flying straight to the top of Renshan Mountain, where tomorrow's council meeting would be held.

Mo Tianzun didn't follow. As long as "Ming Tianzun" didn't cause trouble in the demon territory, he still had to guard it, as many more people would be coming.

······

In the southern part of the Upper Realm, there is a huge mountain range called Zhushan.

This is the residence of the Iron-Eating Clan in the Upper Realm, which can also be considered their training ground.

Because this place has the most bamboo, the best quality bamboo, and the richest nutritional value bamboo, it has been taken over by iron-eating people.

Today, a group of uninvited guests suddenly arrived outside Zhushan.

“September, why don’t you go in first and say hello?” Su Yu said to September from outside the mountain.

September pointed to herself and said innocently, "Am I the only one? I'm not very good at talking, so why don't you come in with me, Emperor Yu?"

Lan Tian suddenly laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the Emperor of the Universe take such a risk himself?"

Looking at the smiling blue sky, September felt a little uneasy. He looked at Yun Jie, scratched his head, and asked, "How about we have Senior Wen Yi accompany me inside?"

Okay, judging from September's expression, she doesn't want to go in alone.

Yun Jie smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go in with you."

After saying that, he turned to look at Su Yu and asked, "What does Emperor Yu think?"

Su Yu thought for a moment. Wen Yi was very powerful, so even if something went wrong after he went in, he could still get out unscathed. So he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Senior Wen Yi."

"Your Majesty is too kind," Yun Jie smiled. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure began to change. In the blink of an eye, a new Iron-Eating Beast appeared in front of everyone. Both its appearance and aura were the same as the real Iron-Eating Beast.

Everyone else was speechless, but September was completely stunned.

"Let's go."

Yun Jie patted September's head and pinched his ear.

Soon, Yun Jie and Jiu Yue disappeared from everyone's sight.

Yun Jie and Jiu Yue swaggered up the bamboo mountain, ignoring the iron-eating beasts around them. Although their auras were somewhat unfamiliar, they were undoubtedly iron-eating beasts based on their bloodline connection. Perhaps they were the illegitimate offspring of some iron-eating beast.

Some of the iron-eating beasts looked at Yun Jie and Jiu Yue with strange eyes, thinking to themselves, "Could these two have come back to reunite with their relatives?"

Yun Jie ignored them and led Jiu Yue straight towards the Giant Bamboo Hall.

The Giant Bamboo Palace is where the Iron-Eating Clan receives guests and discusses matters; it also serves as the Giant Bamboo Marquis's temporary palace.

At this moment, the Giant Bamboo Hall was not peaceful, as several Iron-Eating Beasts were discussing something.

After leaving Chaos Mountain in March, he returned to Bamboo Mountain, where he is now in the Giant Bamboo Hall.

Besides March, there are also Marquis Juzhu, April, May, and Full Moon, a total of five Dao Integration Realm experts, including a Celestial Venerable and a Celestial King. With such strength, they truly deserve to be called a powerful clan.

Of course, they can't compare to the great races like immortals, gods, and demons. They don't even have a third of the strength of the other races. This applies not only to the Iron-Eating Race but also to races like the Dragon and Phoenix. Otherwise, how could it be said that as long as the three races reach an agreement, the other races would have no chance to resist?

Inside the main hall.

"Ancestor March, shall we participate in this Council of Ten Thousand Races?" May asked.

March rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on. "It seems like I have no choice but to participate now..."

Marquis Juzhu said with a solemn expression, "That's true. If all the other races participate, but my Iron-Eating Clan doesn't go, then I'm afraid... we won't have a place to survive in the Upper Realm."

April muttered sullenly, "How did a lineage of the Prison King suddenly appear? By the way, aren't they human? How come we heard they call themselves a holy race? What should we do?"

March rolled her eyes and said irritably, "That's why I called you all here to discuss this! Cough cough, Giant Bamboo, you're smart, you tell me."

In March, the ball was passed to Marquis Juzhu.

Marquis Juzhu glanced at Sanyue and said with some helplessness, "First of all, we definitely have to participate in the Council of Ten Thousand Races. Otherwise, I'm worried that the Ten Thousand Races might deal with us before they deal with the Prison King's lineage. It's not impossible."

"Therefore, we have to go, and we also have to strive for a certain degree of say and initiative. As for whether we will contribute or how much we will contribute, we'll talk about that later."

"Secondly, we don't need to worry about the Prison King's lineage for now. We don't know their attitude. Judging from their appearance, they may have already betrayed the human race. We should treat them as a completely new race now."

"Moreover, they haven't contacted us for so many years, so I'm afraid... they don't need us at all. Therefore, for now, we can only take it one step at a time."

After Marquis Juzhu finished speaking, the hall fell silent. March, April, May, and the full moon were all thinking, and for a moment, they couldn't help but scratch their heads.

Finally, March slammed her hand on the table, deciding to give up on the idea altogether, "Fine, let's do as Juzhu says!"

PS:

I'm asking for monthly votes, tips, and full subscriptions.

Take a look, have a look

······

Let me explain why there have been fewer updates lately.

First, as I've mentioned before, I was bitten by a stray cat, and my right hand fingers are injured. I can only type with my left hand, so the typing speed is slow, which is normal.

Secondly, as those of you reading Star Gate know, it's a sequel to Global Martial Arts, and it could also be a prequel to Tribulation of Myriad Races. So, I want to see how Eagle will write next, and then see if I can go to Star Gate or Global Martial Arts after my current book, Tribulation of Myriad Races, ends. Therefore, updates will be slower.

Third, I've been thinking about a new book lately. Fanfiction has its limits, so I'm planning to write an original book to give it a try. If it flops, then I'll just have to keep writing fanfiction...

In conclusion, this is why there have been fewer updates this month. And unless there are donations or the story gets featured on a recommendation, there's a high probability that there won't be any extra updates. Two updates a day, with a minimum of 6,000 words.

Uh, for those who think it's too little and want to read more, if it's really not possible... well... then you can read more, sob sob. Of course, it's best not to read more if you can avoid it, 6,000 words isn't actually that little, sob sob.

Okay, that's about it. Please don't scold me, I didn't mean to.

After finishing one book, it takes at least two months to start writing another before you can earn any income. In other words, there will be a two-month gap – two months without any income. This is very difficult for someone who has failed at writing... after all, no money... especially with the Lunar New Year approaching...

So, for someone like me who's flopped, the general idea is to have a seamless transition, meaning to finish the new book before the old one is done. That way, I don't have to worry about a gap in the supply of books. If the new book had flopped, then...

One last thing: this book will not be abandoned! It will not be abandoned! It will not be abandoned! (I'm saying it three times because it's important)

I was planning to use this account for my next book, but if I abandon it, I'm afraid I'll get a lot of flak.

Chapter 474 The Unparalleled Prodigy of the Iron-Eating Clan [Seeking monthly votes! Seeking full subscription!]

······

"Huh? What are you two doing here... wait, who are you!?"

March, who was still a little dazed, suddenly stood up. Then, Marquis Juzhu, April, May, and Round Moon also stood up.

The group looked at the two unfamiliar iron-eating beasts that had suddenly appeared at the entrance of the main hall with serious expressions, their hands gripping the bamboo tightly, ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

"Elders, please don't make a move. We're on the same side, on the same side."

September quickly spoke up, afraid that March and the others would attack without giving them a chance to speak.

The next second, a token appeared on September's paw. The front of the token depicted a lifelike little iron-eating beast, while the back was engraved with the character "Emperor". This was an iron-eating token representing the Iron-eating Beast Emperor.

There was only one of these Iron-Eating Tokens from beginning to end, and it has always existed in the lower realm.

The group of people in March looked at September and Yun Jie, feeling somewhat shocked and hardly daring to believe it.

Yuan Yue, who was standing to the side, had lost her appetite for eating bamboo. Although she was young, she knew about the Iron-Eating Token. After all, she had lived in the lower realm of the Iron-Eating Beasts since she was a child. It wasn't until the last tide ended that she followed Wu Yue and the others to the upper realm. In the blink of an eye, six thousand years had passed, and she was now nine thousand years old.

In March, Juzhu appeared in front of September in a flash, and April and May quickly joined in as well.

"This is truly an iron-eating order!"

Among them, apart from Giant Bamboo Marquis and Round Moon who had never served as the Iron-Eating Beast King, March, April, and May had all served as Beast Kings, and they were extremely familiar with the aura of the Iron-Eating Token.

"You're August? You've advanced to the Dao Integration Realm?" May asked in surprise.

First of all, the iron-eating beast in front of him was not his son, June. Although most of the iron-eating clan leaders looked alike, he could still recognize his own son.

July is even less so. July died in the last tide, otherwise he wouldn't be so disgusted with humans now.

With June and July ruled out, August is the only option left.

September scratched the back of her head and said in a silly voice, "August is my dad, and I am September."
