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

Gaa...

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Yunying and Zhu Dizhu shut their mouths, then looked at each other and could see tears in each other's eyes. They were laughing so hard they were crying.

"It's about time to get down to business."

Zhou Tianqi just wanted to finish the mission as soon as possible and get as far away from Lantian as possible. If things continued like this, he felt he was at risk of going berserk.

When it came to serious matters, Yunying and the others returned to normal.

"Let's go, same as always."

After saying that, Lan Tian led the way and dived into the sacred volcano.

at the same time.

Huoyun Hou, who was in the Divine Volcano, felt inexplicably uneasy.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Beside him, a subordinate asked with concern.

Huo Yunhou frowned slightly and did not reply. Being cautious by nature, he carefully probed outward with his willpower.

That's strange, didn't all the people of all races evacuate?

Wait a minute! Could it be that everything before was a smokescreen, and they were waiting for me to lower my guard so they could launch a surprise attack?

Thinking of this, Lord Huoyun turned back to look at the cave, his voice urgent, and said quickly, "Hurry, everyone, return to the divine weapon immediately!"

He wasn't sure if there was any danger, but he was a little uneasy, so for safety's sake, it would be better to put the person into the divine weapon, which would make it easier to break out.

outside.

"Oh no! It seems that Marquis Huoyun has discovered something."

The sound of blue sky rang in their ears.

Zhou Tianqi and his group exchanged glances, their minds ready to act!

The four of them rushed into the cave with perfect coordination, unleashing their full power without saying a word.

The same tactics were used against Zhennan Marquis: Zhu Dizhu was responsible for blocking the exits, Zhou Tianqi was responsible for suppressing Huoyun Marquis, and Lantian and Yunying joined forces to capture Huoyun Marquis.

"Lord Huoyun, do not resist! Be patient, we are all fellow human beings, you must not make a move."

On the other side, Huo Yunhou was stunned for a moment. They really were human. But... where did these people come from?

"We have come to subdue you on the orders of the current ruler. If you dare to resist, you will be killed without mercy!"

Lan Tian roared, his voice filled with a chilling intensity and a hint of seduction.

Marquis Huoyun was somewhat bewildered. The current ruler? And were these people really here to subdue him? They didn't seem like it...

Of course, despite feeling lost, we must still resist.

Imagine if a group of strangers suddenly appeared in front of you, shouting that they wanted to subdue you. Would you panic? Would you resist?

Huoyun Hou is in this state right now. He is confused, but he doesn't dare to really stop. What if the other party is a fake? Wouldn't he be doomed?

"Alas, Lord Huoyun, please hold back! Don't you remember me? I am Zhou Tiansheng... We are indeed human, and we have come here on the orders of the Human Lord. If you obediently stop, we will not do anything to you."

The sound of the Great Dao surrounded Huoyun Hou. Looking at Zhou Tianqi, who seemed both unfamiliar and familiar, Huoyun Hou became even more bewildered, and his attacks slowed down.

"Stop, Lord Huoyun. We won't hurt you. Humans don't harm each other. We can sit down and have a good talk."

Zhou Tianqi pressed his advantage, further eroding Huoyunhou's psychological defenses.

Over there, Lan Tian was also speaking incessantly. Zhou Tianqi possessed the Dao of Patience, and he also possessed the Dao of Bewitchment.

soon.

Huo Yunhou struggled with his expression, and his resistance gradually weakened. Before long, he gave up resisting.

I'm not playing anymore.

Lan Tian and the others were delighted, but they did not stop. Although they did not destroy Huo Yunhou's physical body, they successfully sealed his Dao.

Huo Yunhou didn't react excessively; he struggled slightly before giving up.

All he wanted to do now was figure out what was going on, what the current ruler was like, and who these people were, and where they had come from.

Too many questions filled his mind, making him lose his will to fight.

······

Inside the cave at Mount Shinsugaku.

Huo Yunhou, whose Great Dao was sealed, slumped to the ground, looked at Zhou Tianqi, and asked, "What exactly is going on with you guys?"

He pointed at Zhou Tianqi and said, "I remember you, Zhou Tiansheng, but didn't you... perish? Also, what's the situation with these people? I've never seen them before?"

Seeing his cooperation, Lan Tian and the others didn't make things too difficult for him.

"Great Zhou King, you should explain this to him."

After saying that, Lan Tian closed his eyes and immediately began reporting the situation to Su Yu.

On the other end, Su Yu simply replied "I understand," and then there was no further communication.

He's very busy right now; the Land of Dao Source is a huge treasure for him.

Yun Jie never interfered with him from beginning to end, and just silently followed by his side.

However, Su Yu still asked Yun Jie some questions from time to time, such as whether the ninth floor of the Starry Sky Mansion was connected to the upper and lower realms, and he would occasionally ask some questions about the Human Emperor.

When asked about these things, Yun Jie usually says he doesn't know, or simply says he doesn't know.

In fact, Yun Jie didn't know much about the Human Emperor. He was a character who appeared later in the story and had a lot of screen time, but there was little talk about his past, so Yun Jie naturally had no way of knowing.

The two were now in the river of time, and having both opened the Heavenly Gate, they were thriving in it.

Looking at the ever-flowing River of Time, Su Yu felt a surge of pride. In all the heavens and the myriad realms, no one understands the River of Time better than me!

Suddenly, Su Yu turned his head.

Okay, I forgot about this one...

Yun Jie smiled at Su Yu. He didn't know what Su Yu was thinking, but... he seemed to be very happy, so a smile was the right thing to do.

Su Yu: "..."

Forget it, this is pointless. Let's continue investigating.

At this moment, Su Yu and Yun Jie were going against the current. Su Yu wanted to see if the source of the Dao Source Land was as he had guessed.

As the two delved deeper into the subject, and with his increased knowledge, Su Yu's understanding of the Dao of the Brush also improved. Having recently been promoted to Quasi-King, he made further progress.

Previously, when Su Yu's understanding of the Dao of the Brush reached 80%, he possessed the power of a quasi-king. Now, his understanding has surpassed 80% and is steadily progressing towards 81%, 82%, and so on.

Yun Jie stood aside, not disturbing them.

······

outside world.

Dao Tianzun and his men split into four groups, sweeping in four directions. Even when they encountered dangerous places, they did not let them go and pushed them through directly.

The reason it wasn't cleared up before was because no agreement was reached; no one wanted to waste their own strength for nothing, so the situation remained deadlocked.

Now that all ethnic groups have reached an agreement, there is naturally no need to keep these dangerous places any longer.

Moreover, conquering these dangerous places was not without its rewards. Some of these places contained a wealth of resources. These resources might be useless to Dao Integration Realm experts, but they would be quite valuable to Eternal Realm beings and those below that level.

Behind each of the great celestial beings is a group of hungry "little ones," so when it comes to clearing dangerous places, they have no complaints and are actually quite happy to do so.

The tribesmen who followed behind them, gathering resources, couldn't stop smiling.

Damn, who has ever seen this scene before? Resources are everywhere for you to pick up. How can you not laugh?

Of course, not everything they found belonged to them; they still had to hand it over to their tribe. But even though they had to hand it over, they were happy while they were finding it!

Imagine you're walking down the street and suddenly money starts falling from the sky. Would you pick it up? Would you be happy? Even though it might be recovered in the end, at least you had it once, so you'd be happy!

Moreover, their submission wasn't for nothing; they had at least put in the effort, and the clan would give them some reward.

See how great this is? There's no danger in finding treasures, you're happy in the process, and you even get a reward afterward. It's perfect.

However, the happiest of all must be the Underworld Clan.

Since the Underworld Celestial Venerable, who is Yun Jie's own group, naturally had the Underworld Clan pick up the dangerous areas he leveled. The other two sides were divided into pairs, so it was a 50/50 split.

However, Yun Jie wasn't such a kind person. To him, the Underworld Clan were just a bunch of tools doing hard labor. All the resources they collected ended up in Yun Jie's pocket.

In Yun Jie's words, so many resources would inevitably attract the covetousness of others, so it would be safest to keep them with him. No one else objected to this, because it would be useless to object. Yun Jie was the strongest, and they could only obey.

Of course, the seven celestial beings did not forget their original intention. Leveling the dangerous land was just a side effect; the important thing was to sweep out all those hiding in the shadows.

However, those who are sleeping outside are ultimately only a minority. Occasionally, one or two Dao Integration Realm cultivators can be found, but they are all fourth or fifth level beings. There isn't even one who is slightly stronger. At least... Yun Jie didn't encounter any.

As for why these Dao-merging beings don't slumber in the Dao Source Land, the reason is actually quite simple: they are too weak to secure a good position. If it were a large clan, they could help each other out, but it wouldn't be so easy for those small clans.

Therefore, instead of fighting for the leftover or unwanted spots inside, it's better to find a place outside where the power of rules is stronger. At least the space is big enough.

······

In the blink of an eye.

Three days later.

Deep within the land of the Dao's origin.

"Emperor Yu, we should probably leave soon. Dao Tianzun and the others are heading towards the Dao Source Land. If we don't leave now, they might just surround us."

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them, a sign that his strength had improved once again.

"Congratulations, Emperor Yu, you've taken another step closer to becoming a Celestial Venerable."

"Haha, it's still early."

Su Yu said with a hearty laugh. Moreover, he had other plans in mind, especially after seeing the Great Dao opened up by the Human Emperor, he was already a little impatient.
