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

Next, the Time Book, the Human Lord's Seal, and the Starry Sky Seal also appeared one by one. These items will all be used in the future.

In the chaos, Su Yu began to prepare. Before creating the world, his essence, energy, and spirit had to be adjusted to their optimal state.

······

at the same time.

The Upper Realm, Chaos Mountain.

For several days in a row, the myriad races and the Prison King's lineage continued their standoff and battle.

However, they had a few truces during the war. The high intensity of the battles was unbearable not only for the Prison King's lineage but also for the myriad races.

Of course, there were more concerns than anything else.

The lineage of the Prison King fought desperately, risking their lives, and even in their demise, they would take others down with them.

Looking at the other races, none of them wanted to die, so they fought with restraint. Those who truly used their full strength were the top experts, such as the Holy Marquis and the Sun Crown Marquis.

Even among the remaining kings, there were still those who slacked off and those who were afraid of dying.

Therefore, the various celestial beings were in a real bind. They didn't want their people to fight desperately, but the others weren't stupid either. If you don't fight desperately, why should I?

Furthermore, just because you're working so hard doesn't mean I have to work so hard too.

Even if they win, they won't be the ones to dominate the heavens. Whoever wants to dominate the heavens can fight to the death; they're just afraid of dying anyway.

At this moment, the Heavenly Venerables of all races gathered together. After removing the three from the Demon Race, eleven remained.

They are respectively Saint Marquis, Dao Heavenly Venerable, Desolate Heavenly Venerable, Sun Crown Marquis, Moon Heavenly Venerable, Underworld Heavenly Venerable, March, Heavenly Mandate Marquis, Thunderstorm, Dragon Heavenly Venerable, and Phoenix Heavenly Venerable.

“None of the races are willing to go all out, what should we do now?” Moon Celestial Venerable rubbed his head, feeling very troubled.

The other Celestial Venerables also frowned. Aside from the intense fighting at the beginning, with people constantly falling, in the following days, neither their side nor the Prison King's lineage suffered any casualties. This showed just how much they had slacked off.

In this situation, not only the myriad races are facing a headache, but the Prison King's lineage is also in trouble. With no one falling, how are they supposed to guide Prison Qing?

"What else can we do? Just let it drag on like this. Do you want to force them to their deaths? I'm afraid they might turn around and join the Prison King's faction."

In the corner, March said nonchalantly.

After hearing this, the group felt a headache coming on. This was exactly what they were worried about. They couldn't force them, and gentle persuasion was useless. Otherwise, they wouldn't be having this headache now.

After a long while, the Holy Marquis let out a long breath and said, "In the end, this battle still depends on us. Only if we can take down their Heavenly Venerable will they use all their strength without reservation."

"It's easy to say, but how do we solve it?" March muttered.

"Let's try adjusting our opponents," said Huang Tianzun. "I'll hold off Ziyun Hou. Brother Mingtian, are you confident you can quickly defeat Yueqin?"

Yun Jie looked at him in surprise. How dare he?

"Huang, you..."

In a moment of desperation, Dao Tianzun grabbed Huang Tianzun's sleeve, trying to stop him.

Over there, Yun Jie smiled and said, "I can't say I'm sure of success, but I can give it a try. However... are you sure you want to switch opponents with me?"

After saying that, she looked at him with a mocking gaze.

"Huang, don't be impulsive." Dao Tianzun placed a hand on Huang Tianzun's shoulder.

Huang Tianzun glanced at him and said calmly, "This is the best solution at present. Of course, if Brother Sanyue, Brother Tianming, or Brother Leibao are willing to exchange opponents with Brother Mingtian, that would be the best."

As soon as she finished speaking, March shook her head immediately, "Don't even think about it, I won't change it. I'm going to beat that vixen Yue Luo, no one can take it from me."

After March finished speaking, both Tianming Hou and Lei Bao politely declined.

Are you kidding me? They're just loafing around too. Why would they go and try to stop Lord Ziyun? Are they just bored and have nothing better to do?

Needless to say, the two Celestial Venerables, Dragon and Phoenix, would not agree to this. Why would they agree if the others did not agree? Unless they were asked to join forces against Marquis Ziyun, it was impossible for one person to agree.

The Desolate Celestial Venerable cast a glance at the Dao Celestial Venerable, as if to say: You see, there's nothing we can do about it.

At this moment, the Holy Marquis suddenly spoke up: "It's alright. Huang's strength is not weak. Even if she is no match for that traitor, Marquis Ziyun, she will not be easily killed by her. As long as Brother Mingtian can kill Yueqin, there is still a chance for this battle to turn around."

The Holy Marquis looked around, his eyes filled with helplessness. Of those present, apart from the two Celestial Venerables of the Divine Race, the rest each had one, except for the three of the Immortal Race…

Sun Crown Marquis and Moon Celestial Venerable are responsible for stopping the Po Dragon Beast, and there's no way to replace them. He can't be replaced either when fighting Moon War. Only Underworld Celestial Venerable can barely manage, but no one else is willing to replace them, so the Immortal Clan has to step in.

Beside them, Sun Crown Marquis and the others smiled. Whether or not the Desolate Heavenly Venerable was ultimately harmed was none of their concern.

Moreover, now that the Demon Clan is gone and the Immortal Clan is so strong, the tripartite balance of power has been broken, and it's time to weaken the Immortal Clan.

The Holy Marquis and his companions were well aware of the thoughts of the Sun Crown Marquis and others, but they had no choice but to continue delaying if they did not do so.

Now that the lower realm is about to open, but how long will it take? So why not take a gamble?

"Alright, since you all agree, I have no objection. You can leave the Yueqin to me, and I will resolve the battle as soon as possible. Of course, I can't guarantee it; if it really doesn't work out, we can switch back," Yun Jie said calmly.

"That's fine then." Everyone nodded.

"Let's go, let's do it now!"

Yun Jie stood up and said excitedly.

Su Yu is about to open the heavens, so the upper realm must make some noise to prevent the Prison King's lineage from being attracted there.

Therefore, the best approach is to use combat to keep the Prison King's faction occupied and prevent them from being distracted.

After a moment's thought, the Marquis of the Sun and the others nodded in agreement.

Both sides have been at a truce for half a day, and have recovered to their previous state. Now they want to see if they can break the current stalemate by exchanging opponents.

"Brother Mingtian, it's up to you now."

The crowd solemnly declared that the key to breaking the deadlock now lay with the Underworld Lord, and they hoped he could deliver a powerful performance, just like when he killed Dou He.

Yun Jie said calmly, "Given enough time, killing Yueqin is not difficult. I am confident."

To be honest, Yun Jie would rather exchange opponents with Tianming Hou, because his opponent is Yue Xiao.

Like Yue Xiao, Yue Luo is a veteran of countless battles; defeating him would be tantamount to losing an arm that has been used in countless battles.

Yun Jie's idea was actually very simple: before Bai Zhan came out, it would be best to turn him into a lone commander.

Of course, in reality, even if he dealt with Yuexiao and even Yueluo, Baizhan would not become a commander without troops. Baizhan still had dozens of people hidden in the Great Dao, all of whom were his loyal followers. Only by eliminating them would Baizhan become a commander without troops.

However, there are some among them who are wholeheartedly devoted to the human race. Yun Jie cannot condemn them all at once; he can only wait until they come out before making a decision.

However, dealing with Yueqin first is not out of the question. Yuqing is about to emerge, and once she does, the balance will be broken. Therefore, we should weaken the Yuwang lineage first, and Yuexiao and Yueluo can be put aside for the time being.

······

The outer perimeter of Chaos Mountain.

Eleven Heavenly Venerables, including "Netherworld Venerable," stood in mid-air, their aura as deep as an abyss. A cold shout resounded through the heavens: "All races, assemble!"

Wow!

A cacophony of noise erupted.

"Damn, they only rested for half a day, and they're already here again!"

"What's going on? We can't win again, can't we just give up for a bit?"

"Sigh, we're still too weak. We can't fight city hall."

"Hmph, I'm just slacking off. You want me to fight? Dream on! I'm the only one in my clan who has reached the Dao Integration stage. If I fall, my clan will probably..."

The sounds of complaints, grumbling, and negativity rose and fell, but the Celestial Venerables remained calm, pretending not to hear the complaints from the various races.

However, despite their complaints, the various races still chose to obey orders and gathered sparsely at the locations of the various celestial beings.

Opposite, inside Chaos Mountain.

The Prison King's lineage and the Demon Clan both heard the commotion among the myriad races. They exchanged glances, a hint of helplessness flashing in their eyes.

"Everyone, get ready for battle."

Yue Zhan and Zi Yun Hou issued their orders simultaneously.

Unlike the myriad races, they are quite united and proactive, without the many roundabout schemes and intrigues of the myriad races.

"Have the Eight-Winged Tigers returned yet?"

Marquis Ziyun looked at Yue Zhan, his brows furrowed slightly, and his tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

Yue Zhan was equally dissatisfied, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he said fiercely, "No, I don't know where they went. They didn't respond when I called them. What a bunch of damned things!"

"Hmph, they'll pay the price sooner or later!" Marquis Ziyun sneered, his murderous aura palpable.

Before long, the Prison King's lineage and the demons were the first to assemble, standing ready to face the attack from all races.

Looking at the other races, each race was dragging its feet, offering various excuses. Even though they were the ones who gathered first, the other side was already ready while they hadn't finished assembling.

As time passed, the expressions of the five Celestial Venerables from the Immortal and Divine races became somewhat unpleasant, while the remaining six remained indifferent, displaying an unconcerned attitude.

Finally, just as the five Celestial Venerables were about to erupt, all the races had gathered. The five Celestial Venerables looked at them coldly, without saying a word.

At this moment, all the tribes were like dead pigs, unafraid of boiling water, believing that the law does not punish the masses. With so many of them, even the Heavenly Venerable could not do anything to them, especially since this was on the front lines!

Furthermore, they are an alliance, not subordinates of any race. They were forced to participate in the war. Since they were forced, can't we just slack off for a bit?

With a major battle imminent, the various Celestial Venerables didn't want to say anything more. They believed that as long as they could break the deadlock, these people would be sensible enough.

Which race hasn't managed to survive for so many years? Even if they're not strong enough, their ability to adapt to changing circumstances is definitely not lacking.

A race without any sense of propriety would have been wiped out long ago.

Therefore, this battle is on them, on "Underworld Lord".

"We understand your thoughts perfectly well. We are not asking you to fight to the death now. There is only one condition: no one can retreat before we give the order to retreat. There can be no deserters on the battlefield, otherwise all tribes will unite to attack them!"

Although I don't want to say it, I still have to emphasize it to prevent anyone from deserting their post. Once someone takes the lead, others will inevitably follow. Therefore, I must issue a warning.

Upon hearing this, the powerful figures from various races felt a chill and quickly put away their inner thoughts. Originally, they had indeed planned to run away immediately if things went wrong, but now it seemed that as long as the strength of the immortals and gods and other major races remained, if they dared to run away, they would be courting death.

"kill!"
