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

Inside the cave, Yun Ying, Lan Tian, ​​and Zhou Tianqi were panting heavily. Although they had quickly dealt with Zhennan Hou and Wen Qi, they had truly exerted all their strength and exhausted all their power of rules.

Landlord Zhu, on the other hand, is still at his peak.

Landlord Zhu walked over and gave Yun Ying a thumbs up. "Niece Yun Ying, you're amazing! But your strength has improved way too fast, hasn't it?"

Seeing Yun Ying decisively defeat General Wen Qi and then assist Lan Tian in capturing the Marquis of Zhennan, Zhu Dizhu couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

Yun Ying grinned: "That's nothing. The main thing is that I have a solid foundation. Therefore, my actual combat strength is higher than that of people of the same level."

Landlord Zhu stroked his chin, deep in thought. "So, in that case, Old Zhou, who's always putting up with things, is no longer a match for you?"

Zhou Tianqi's face darkened, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "You say I'm not as good as Yun Ying, I can tolerate that, but you say I'm always holding back, that's going too far!"

You ungrateful wretch! If you had known, you wouldn't have been assigned a relic in the first place!

Yun Ying glanced at Zhou Tianqi and burst out laughing, "Hahaha..."

Even Lan Tian couldn't help but chuckle; the Great Ming King's mouth...

"Old Zhu, just shut up. Even if I'm weak, I'm still stronger than you!" Zhou Tianqi said quietly.

Landlord Zhu didn't take it seriously. He waved his hand and said, "What's the big deal? Look at how many years you've lived. I'm only four or five hundred years old, but I'm just a young man in front of you. When I'm a hundred thousand years old, I'll definitely be stronger than you."

Zhou Tianqi: "..."

Forget it, I'll ignore this idiot.

Lan Tian smiled, feeling a sense of joy at seeing Zhou Tianqi's discomfiture.

"Hehe, Great Ming King, that's enough. If you keep talking, Great Zhou King will be so angry he'll vomit blood. You go and guard the cave entrance now. We need to recover first. There's still Huoyun Marquis to go."

Landlord Zhu nodded and said nothing more. That's true. He was no match for Old Zhou yet. He shouldn't provoke him. He would wait until he was stronger than Old Zhou someday... Hehe.

Thinking it over, Landlord Zhu walked to the cave entrance, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.

······

Inside the cave.

Yunying and the other two stopped talking, leaving only faint breathing sounds. They silently began to regulate their breathing, as the energy expenditure from a sudden burst of energy was much greater than that from a prolonged battle.

A prolonged battle allows for recovery while fighting, but a sudden burst of power leaves no time for recovery; the battle ends in the blink of an eye.

Yun Ying and Zhou Tianqi had consumed a lot of the power of rules, but Lan Tian was different.

In order to control the Marquis of Zhennan, he lost many clones. Otherwise, Yun Ying would not have been able to destroy the Marquis of Zhennan's physical body so easily.

Fortunately, materials are almost everywhere in the Upper Realm, so Blue Sky can replenish his consumed clones anytime, anywhere.

Since ascending to the Upper Realm, he has been completely unrestrained, like a fish in water, and the number of his clones has increased rapidly.

Unlike in the Nether, where you have to consider allies, this one can't be killed, that one can't be killed, which is very annoying.

However, there is no such concern in the upper realm. Looking around, enemies are almost everywhere. Since they are all enemies, there is no need to worry too much.

Another point is that the quality of clones created in the upper realm is far superior to that in the lower realm. In the upper realm, almost anyone you randomly pick is a being at least at the Mountain and Sea Realm, and Sun and Moon Realms are everywhere. In the lower realm, there are nowhere nearly as many.

Therefore, if we were to ask who the happiest person in the Upper Realm was, it would undoubtedly be Lan Tian. For him, the Upper Realm was simply a paradise.

Over there, at Tianku Ridge.

Blue Sky and his team's battle has just ended.

Su Yu received Lan Tian's message incredibly quickly.

"Brother Yuhuang, we have successfully captured the Marquis of Zhennan."

In Su Yu's hand, Lan Tian's clone spoke again.

Immediately afterwards, Lan Tian reported to Su Yu the entire process of suppressing Zhennan Marquis.

After listening, Su Yu said calmly, "I understand."

"Now we only need to deal with the last one, Huoyun Hou. Remember to be extremely careful. After you suppress him, return to Zhushan immediately and do not linger outside."

"Received!" Blue Sky replied.

The sound of the blue sky faded away, and Su Yu fell into deep thought.

Grandpa, Aunt Yunying, Lord of the Mansion...

What exactly are they...?

After thinking for a moment, Su Yu asked, "Senior, what do you think of the Great Xuan King... never mind, never mind."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but Su Yu swallowed them back down.

Beside him, Yun Jie raised an eyebrow slightly. As Su Yu's strength and horizons broadened, there were bound to be things he would doubt, no matter who it was.

Thinking of this, Yun Jie smiled and said, "Is Emperor Yu suspecting the Great Xuan King, thinking there's something wrong with him? Is it his strength, his identity, or his purpose?"

Su Yu frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. He looked at Yao Wenyi and said calmly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, senior. To be honest, I have doubts about everything you mentioned, whether it's strength, identity, or purpose."

"You came out relatively late, so there are some things you may not know. Before me, the one most qualified to become the current ruler should be my grandfather. This is true from every perspective. The King of Qin is far inferior to him. Perhaps only that old man, the King of Zhou, can compete with my grandfather."

"But strangely, none of them wanted to become the ruler, so in the end, the position of ruler fell to me."

At this point, Su Yu said with a self-deprecating laugh, "To be honest, I didn't want to be the ruler back then, but my grandfather seemed to always want me to be the ruler. I think he must have pushed for it a lot behind the scenes. I don't know or understand why he did it..."

At this moment, Yun Jie interjected, "Perhaps... it's about hoping your grandson will become a dragon?"

Su Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes. Perhaps the desire for Sun Chenglong was a factor, but he felt that this wasn't the main reason.

Yun Jie stroked his chin and said in a serious tone, "To be honest, I haven't had much contact with your grandfather. I've only met him once, at that meeting in the lower realm."

Su Yu nodded; that was indeed the case.

Yun Jie frowned slightly and continued, "When the meeting was held, I also secretly opened the Heavenly Gate to observe everyone present that day. To be honest, I didn't find anything unusual. The Great Xuan King didn't seem to be hiding his strength. Of course, unless his strength far exceeds mine, it's impossible for him to have fooled me."

Yun Jie smiled and said confidently, "I'm not bragging, but in today's myriad realms, there may be people whose strength surpasses mine, but to say that they far surpass me, there is absolutely no one."

Su Yu nodded in agreement. Wen Yi's strength was evident to all, and he was not boasting when he said that.

Then, Yun Jie added, "Speaking of identity, I think the Great Xuan King is not lying. It can be seen that his real age is only a few hundred years, definitely no more than six hundred years, most likely around five hundred years, similar to Qin Guang and the others."

Su Yu was shocked and quickly asked, "How did you figure that out, senior?"

Yun Jie pointed to his forehead and said, "Tianmen, use Tianmen to see his bone age. Some things can be faked, but some things can never be faked, and bone age is one of them."

"Another factor is vitality, or lifespan. If someone is truly from ancient times, their vitality wouldn't be so strong after 100,000 years. Look at the powerful figures who have survived from ancient times, including myself. If you observe carefully, you can see a trace of decline."

"To be honest, we don't have much time left. If we don't break through soon, we'll really die in a few years. That's why we say this tide is the last one. People go crazy before they die."

Su Yu's expression changed, and he couldn't care less about anything else. He opened the Heavenly Gate and looked at Yun Jie.

Yun Jie was either carefree or confident, allowing Su Yu to investigate.

a long time.

Su Yu closed the Heavenly Gate and fell into deep thought.

If Wen Yi hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have noticed. Now he did. Wen Yi looked perfectly fine and full of life, but in reality, beneath that vibrant energy, there was a hint of decline, like a setting sun, a sign that his lifespan was nearing its end, just like Wen Yi himself.

Yun Jie smiled and said, "How about that? Did you see that? This is how ancient powerhouses behave. Not only me, but others are the same. Some even have to rely on slumber to prolong their lifespan. That's why many people go into slumber so often."

Su Yu's expression was somewhat solemn. He nodded and said, "I saw it."

"So, your grandfather must be a human from this tide without a doubt. He didn't lie about that. It's just that his strength and talent may be no less than yours."

Su Yu laughed, "No wonder Grandpa kept emphasizing that he wasn't an old-fashioned person. Turns out he really isn't."

Indeed, Yun Jie kept emphasizing that he was not an old-fashioned person. On the contrary, Zhou Tianqi was initially very stubborn, but later he also admitted it frankly. Now everyone knows his identity: the Human Emperor's scribe and one of the three Fire Linkers.

"Hehe, I bet the Great Xuan King is feeling pretty down too," Yun Jie chuckled.

"Finally, there's his purpose. To be honest, I don't know what his purpose is, but so far, everything is good. Although he put you on the throne of the human ruler, he didn't control you in any way, unlike the previous few Tide Elders who constantly restricted each generation of human rulers. The Great Xuan King is different; he has truly given you complete power."

At this moment, Yun Jie kept praising himself, and of course, what he said was all true.

Su Yu fell silent for a moment. It seemed that he had been overthinking things. Grandpa was still Grandpa.

Seeing Su Yu deep in thought, Yun Jie remained silent.

······

after awhile.

After remaining silent for a while, Su Yu suddenly spoke up: "Senior, let's not go back to Zhushan for now. I want to go to the Dao Source Land to take a look."

“This…” Yun Jie glanced at the bamboo mountain in the distance, almost back home.

"Have you thought this through? Going to the Land of Dao Origin now is an extremely dangerous thing."

After thinking it over, Yun Jie did not object. It would be good for Su Yu to go to the Land of Dao Origin. There, he should be able to make some progress and learn some things.

Su Yu smiled and said, "I've thought it through. Although I don't want to take any risks, I have to go to the Dao Source Land. If I don't go now, the next time I go, it might be a major battle. Besides, with a senior like you here, what am I afraid of?"

Yun Jie didn't know if Su Yu was just being polite, but he certainly seemed very confident.

"Hahaha, that's right. As long as I, Wen, want to leave, no one can stop me. With me here, Emperor Yu will definitely be safe."

Yun Jie said with absolute certainty.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Let's go then, there's no time to lose."

"Walk."

In an instant, the two abandoned their plan to return to the Mountain of People and instead flew towards the Land of Dao Origin.

Of course, they also remembered to have Lan Tian inform Marquis Juzhu to lead his men to Chaos Mountain.

They said they were bringing people, but in reality, only Marquis Juzhu and April were with them; they didn't bring anyone else.

The Iron-Eating Clan has March, Giant Bamboo Marquis and April participating in the battle. I believe the others can't find any fault with them. The three strongest members have all been mobilized, what more do you want?

······

Yun Jie and Su Yu rushed to the Dao Source Land.

On the way, Yun Jie instructed Su Yu, "Emperor Yu, when we arrive at the Dao Source Land, do not look around the Heavenly Gate carelessly. It is very dangerous. There are too many powerful people inside, and you will be discovered if you are not careful."
