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

“Let’s go check on Bai Zhan’s situation at Sealed Mountain, and see if we can secretly take Giant Axe Marquis away. Otherwise, he might be in danger when Dao Tianzun and the others sweep through the Dao Source Land.” Su Yu stood up and said to Yun Jie.

Some things need to be seen with your own eyes. Although Yun Jie had told him about the situation at Bai Zhan, he still needed to verify it himself. He couldn't just believe whatever others said. Seeing it for himself would at least give him a better understanding.

Yun Jie nodded without objecting. Let them watch. As for the Giant Axe Marquis... taking him away wouldn't be too difficult. The only problem is that Su Yu might not be able to control him right now.

He could act on Su Yu's behalf, but Su Yu was the emperor, and the Giant Axe Marquis was to submit to him, not him, so...

Perhaps sensing Yun Jie's thoughts, Su Yu smiled and said, "As for Marquis Giant Axe, we'll need you to deal with him later. Once I'm stronger, I'll subdue him. Right now, we don't necessarily need him to obey, but at least we can't let him cause trouble. It's best if he's quiet. If he's too noisy, then we'll kill him."

Yun Jie nodded; that was one way to do it.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Jie said, "Besides the Giant Axe Marquis, there are several other powerful figures among the human race. They have no connection with Bai Zhan. Should we rescue them as well?"

Su Yu's eyes flickered, and he asked curiously, "Who are they?"

"Marquis Nanxi, General Xuelan, and another woman I don't recognize, I've never seen them before. These three are all quasi-kings. There are also two others, Marquis Wushan and Marquis Jianghai, both of whom are top-tier Dao Integration cultivators. There aren't many of them, only five in total, but they are all top-tier combatants."

Yun Jie didn't hide anything and spoke quickly. He could only pretend not to know what Princess Qi was saying. There was nothing he could do; she was from the Third Tide. How could "Wen Yi" have seen her or known about her?

Su Yu stroked his chin. So, even without them, the human race is not weak. They have one Heavenly Venerable, several Quasi-Kings, and a few top-tier Dao Integration experts, enough to rival all races except the three races.

After a moment's thought, Su Yu made a decision. Since it had nothing to do with Bai Zhan, he could save them. Including Giant Axe Marquis, there were a total of six top-tier combatants. It would be a pity to just give up on them like this.

"Since that's the case, let's take them all with us. There's no time to lose, let's get moving!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two broke through the river of time and reappeared in the Land of Dao Origin.

PS:

That's all for today, that's exactly six thousand. The power went out at home...

I don't know where the wiring burned out, oh my god...

It's so late at night, and I don't even know where to find someone to fix it. It's difficult.

I'm begging for your monthly votes, guys.

······

The two left the River of Time, transforming into two powerful demons, and headed straight for the Sealed Mountain.

On the road.

Yun Jie pointed out the locations of the sleeping Celestial Venerables to Su Yu one by one; some were in the sky, some on the mountains, some in the water, and some underground.

Unlike other Dao Integration Realms, the places occupied by Celestial Venerables have relatively little power of rules and Dao. This is mainly because they already have enough power of Dao within them and do not need to absorb any additional power of Dao. On the contrary, they need to release their excess power of Dao to avoid bursting themselves.

Seal Mountain.

Su Yu opened the Heavenly Gate and looked up at the mountain.

"Tsk tsk, what a grand gesture! Two True Dao Heavenly Kings and six False Dao Heavenly Kings, that's a total of eight Heavenly Kings. With such a lineup, even a Heavenly Venerable would probably not fare well."

Yun Jie had mentioned it before entering the Dao Source Land, but seeing it with his own eyes now, Su Yu still couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Just as his gaze was about to shift to the underground, a large hand pressed down on his shoulder.

"Don't look down. Mo Tian is deep underground. Don't wake him." Yun Jie's voice rang in Su Yu's ears.

Su Yu: ? ? ?

Okay, he almost forgot about the Demon Heaven.

“It seems that all races are indeed wary of Bai Zhan,” Su Yu asked with a solemn expression. “Everyone says that Bai Zhan is very strong, but just how strong is he? Is there a standard?”

Yun Jie thought for a moment and said, "To put it this way, Bai Zhan's strength is comparable to that of an ordinary Rule Master. It would be very difficult for an ordinary Heavenly Venerable to deal with him unless four or five of them join forces. If there are fewer than four, they basically have no chance."

"Don't think that the current environment doesn't allow for the emergence of a Ruler. For someone like Bai Zhan who cultivates the physical body, it's meaningless because he can't become a Ruler in the first place. Only if all the ancient human kings who cultivated the physical body perish will he have a chance to master the physical body and become a Ruler."

"But precisely because the physical body path cannot become the master of the rules, the current rules cannot restrict him at all. His strength can rise infinitely. As long as he occupies enough of the physical body path, even if he is not the master of the rules, he is better than the master of the rules."

Su Yu was first surprised, then frowned slightly, "So how much control does Bai Zhan have over the Path of the Physical Body now? Could it be that he has already possessed the power of a Ruler?"

Yun Jie said in a deep voice, "It's hard to say. We have no way of knowing exactly how much he has mastered. Only he knows for sure. But I feel that Bai Zhan has deceived everyone."

"You fooled everyone? How?" Su Yu was a little confused.

"Does Emperor Yu think it's possible that he was deliberately sealed away? Were we really the first to discover the Prison King's lineage? In the Ninth Tide, the human race was defeated in a muddled way. Was there something fishy going on here? So many old guys have placed their hopes on him, willing to sacrifice themselves to help Bai Zhan. Does Emperor Yu think Bai Zhan is really just a reckless brute?"

Looking at Su Yu, Yun Jie said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu's expression changed repeatedly, his eyes flickering uncertainly. He took a deep breath, feeling both alarmed and apprehensive. "Senior, do you mean... Bai Zhan... was just an act?"

Yun Jie smiled faintly and said, "No, I'm just saying it's possible. Whether it is or not, it's up to you, Emperor Yu, to judge."

"But...why?"

Su Yu didn't understand, he really didn't understand.

If Bai Zhan was really faking it, then why would he pretend, and why would he ruin the excellent situation of the human race?

Can't figure it out!

At this moment, Su Yu wanted to rush into the Sealed Mountain, grab Bai Zhan by the collar, and question him about whether he was an idiot.

Yun Jie stroked his chin, pretending to ponder, and then said, "Is it possible that he was hurt by someone? And then he started acting like a coward. Bai Zhan has had a smooth life since he was a child, growing up under the protection of a group of old guys. Is it possible that he is actually a giant baby?"

Unwittingly, Yun Jie revealed the matter.

Across from him, Su Yu was both amused and exasperated. "Senior, don't joke around. With his strength, in the Ninth Tide, if not invincible, he's certainly hard to beat. Who could possibly defeat him?"

Yun Jie's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "Hahaha, who knows? Emperor Yu, don't take it seriously, I was just saying."

Su Yu smiled and shook his head, clearly not taking Yun Jie's "guess" to heart.

Then, Yun Jie said unhurriedly, "In short, Bai Zhan's true strength needs to be reassessed. Of course, he shouldn't be stronger than me, since I have four paths running in parallel. However, we'll only know his specific combat strength after we've fought. At least, I won't lose."

Su Yu nodded slightly, looking thoughtful.

He quickly withdrew his gaze from Bai Zhan and turned his head. "Let's go, senior. Let's take Giant Axe Marquis and the others away first. There's no rush with Bai Zhan. Let him stay here."

Yun Jie smiled and said, "Okay."

The two then left the sealed mountain and headed towards the place where the Giant Axe Marquis was sleeping.

······

In the northern part of the Dao Source Land, there is a huge valley. The valley is overgrown with weeds and is desolate. The power of rules is not strong, so it looks inconspicuous.

However, the Giant Axe Marquis is sleeping here, and several tides have passed since he fell asleep.

Because he hadn't appeared for so long, everyone assumed he had perished somewhere.

At this very moment, outside the valley.

Yun Jie and Su Yu quietly appeared, their Heavenly Gates opened, and they looked around the valley before them, finally locking onto the location of the giant axe.

"Emperor Yu, while the giant axe is still asleep, let's join forces to sever its connection with the Great Dao to prevent it from suddenly going berserk."

Yun Jie spoke quickly, and Su Yu nodded after listening. He thought so too. Moreover, both he and Wen Yi's Great Dao were very suitable for sealing. Although severing the connection between a Celestial Venerable and the Great Dao was difficult, the Giant Axe was currently in a dormant state, so the difficulty was not that great.

Therefore, neither of them felt there was any possibility of failure.

Then, Yun Jie added, "Emperor Yu, we'll need to use the Starry Sky Seal you have in a bit. It's a really good thing; it can suppress the fluctuations of the Great Dao and also intimidate the giant axe."

Marquis Giant Axe was one of the people who fought alongside the Human Emperor to conquer the world, so naturally he would recognize the Starry Sky Seal. Even though the Starry Sky Seal is now just a stone, the Human Emperor's aura cannot be faked.

Su Yu didn't reply. Even if Yun Jie hadn't said anything, he was already planning to do it anyway. So far, the Starry Sky Seal was much more useful than his Human Lord Seal.

Then, the two ended their conversation and dived underground. A short while later, they arrived at the side of the Giant Axe Marquis.

At this moment, the Giant Axe Marquis showed no reaction whatsoever. Unless there was danger, someone like him who was in a deep slumber would not wake up.

Yun Jie and Su Yu exchanged a glance. The next second, Su Yu produced a glowing stone in his hand. "Let's do it!"

Without hesitation, the two took action.

Su Yu activated the Starry Sky Seal with all his might, freezing a section of the void. The next moment, a giant pen appeared in his hand, and a Heavenly Gate appeared on his forehead. Then, he pointed the giant pen at the void, at the location of the Great Dao of the Giant Axe Marquis.

Over there, Yun Jie wasn't idle either. His reaction was even faster than Su Yu's. With a wave of his hand, a huge scroll instantly enveloped the valley.

Immediately afterwards, his right hand was drawing something in the air, while at the same time his left hand made a strange gesture. The next second, a black and white chessboard appeared under the feet of the Giant Axe Marquis.

at the same time.

Just as Yun Jie and his companion made their move, the Giant Axe Marquis, who had been motionless like a boulder, finally reacted.

As Yun Jie and Su Yu moved, the Giant Axe Marquis was initially confused, then instantly woke up from his slumber.

"Who goes there!?"

The Giant Axe Marquis reacted immediately, then roared, his voice carrying outwards. However, the valley was now shrouded in the scroll, and the sound could not escape; the enormous sound could only echo within the valley.

"Shut up, don't move!"

Su Yu sternly rebuked, his eyes cold, his hands moving continuously as his giant brush traced the path of the Giant Axe Marquis, countless tiny characters climbing towards it.

The Giant Axe Marquis then realized that it was his Great Dao!

"drink!"

Without saying a word, Marquis Giant Axe wanted to connect with the Great Dao. Although he did not understand the situation, he could not allow these two people to tamper with his Great Dao.

"town!"

Yun Jie swung a "Suppress" character at the giant axe with his backhand, dozens of divine runes above his head shining brightly, and coldly shouted: "Bold giant axe, you have the honor of paying homage to the current ruler! Do you intend to rebel?!"

Contemporary humanism?

Marquis Giant Axe was startled. He glanced at Yun Jie and Su Yu, and finally fixed his gaze on Yun Jie. He thought that the contemporary ruler Yun Jie was referring to was himself, and that Yun Jie was also the strongest.

"Look there!? The Lord is over there!"

Yun Jie's face darkened. "Don't fucking look around."

Marquis of Giant Axe: ? ? ?

With Yun Jie's reminder, Marquis Giant Axe looked at Su Yu.

At this moment, Su Yu also threw out the Human Lord Seal, which, together with the Starry Sky Seal, suppressed the Great Dao.

"Marquis Giant Axe, you see me, why don't you pay your respects?! The Star Seal and the Human Lord Seal are here; if you dare to resist again, you will be killed without mercy!"

Su Yu had exerted all his strength to suppress the Great Dao of the Giant Axe Marquis. Fortunately, Yun Jie was the main force, otherwise he would not have been able to suppress it.
