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

······

"They're here."

Outside the passage, the group exchanged glances and then grinned.

"Don't rush, let's wait until they come out before we scare them away."

"Marquis Giant Axe, Marquis of Destiny, the moment they come out, you two block the passage and don't let them escape."

"Also, don't kill anyone, focus on suppression."

Su Yu quickly gave the order.

It's fine to kill in the upper realm, but if we kill in the lower realm later, the upper and lower realms will be unsealed. It's not too late to unseal them after we've suppressed Dao Tianzun and the others. At that time, we can openly confront the Prison King's lineage. With their current strength, there's no need for them to hide anymore.

As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, a thunderous roar echoed through the passage.

crackling sounds...

The passage opened, and five figures rushed out.

The moment they emerged, they were still enveloped in tiny bolts of lightning. They spotted the Emperor of Fate at a glance, but after looking around, they couldn't find the Marquis of Heavenly Fate. Just as they were about to smile...

"Let's do it!"

With a loud shout, Marquis Giant Axe and Marquis of Destiny rushed to the front of the passage, blocking the retreat of Dao Tianzun and his group of five.

At the same time, everyone else also emerged.

In the blink of an eye, a group of people surrounded Dao Tianzun and his four companions, completely blocking their way both above and below ground.

A series of powerful auras stirred up the wind and clouds, and numerous pressures piled up together, pressing down on the five Dao Tianzun. At this moment, even the sky seemed to shrink.

boom!

Dao Tianzun and the other four were instantly stunned.

Many... strong people...

Their expressions went from blank to astonishment, to shock, to disbelief, and finally to terror.

In just a few seconds, their expressions underwent a wide range of changes.

Among the crowd, Marquis Dingjun couldn't help but laugh; as he expected, his expression was quite interesting.

"you……"

Dao Tianzun's body trembled slightly, and even now, his brain was still somewhat numb.

The other four weren't much better off.

Now, it felt as if a colossal mountain of stones was pressing down on them, rendering them unable to move.

They looked around carefully and saw five Celestial Venerables and more than ten Quasi-Kings.

That's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is, why are most of the people here human?!?

Only the Marquis of Destiny, the Emperor of Destiny, and the Strategy Master are not human; the rest are all human!

This is the lower realm, right?

Stiff and rigid, they turned their heads with difficulty to look at the passage behind them.

Marquis Giant Axe and Marquis Heavenly Fate looked at them warily, gripping their weapons tightly, on guard against a sudden attack from Dao Tianzun and the others.

Looking at the passage behind them, where the faint rumble of thunder still lingered, and feeling the oppressive force on their bodies, Dao Tianzun and the others were certain: it was indeed the lower realm, indeed the Realm of Destiny, but... this was just not scientific at all!

Su Yu stepped forward and said seriously, "You... are surrounded."

Dao Tianzun and the others: Damn it, do you even need to tell us? We're not blind!

Ignoring their thoughts, Su Yu smiled and said, "So now, do you choose to surrender willingly or passively? The outcome is the same, but... if you choose the latter, it might hurt a little."

The devil's smile!

This thought arose in the minds of Dao Tianzun and the others.

The group took a deep breath, turned to look at Marquis Tianming, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Tianming, could you please explain what's going on with you?"

Marquis Tianming smiled and said, "What's there to explain? Didn't you all see it? As you can see, apart from me, Wuming, and Tiance, everyone else here is from the human race."

"One more thing, the lower realm has long been conquered. Without exception, immortals, gods, and demons have all been suppressed. Yuan Shenghou, the Demon Emperor, the Phoenix Emperor, and others have all perished at the hands of the human race."

Moon Celestial Venerable was startled and pressed, "What did you say? My divine race also..."

Marquis Tianming said calmly, "Of course, do you think the Divine Empress and Ji Wu alone can hold off so many people?"

silence!

Dao Tianzun and the others could only remain silent.

They looked around, then gave a bitter laugh and said, "With your abilities, you are no match for the Prison King's lineage. Hahaha, no matter how well you hide, you will not win."

They were no match for the Holy and Demon races, but the humans before them were certainly no match for the Holy and Demon races either; they were all losers.

"Spare us this time, and when the Upper and Lower Realms open, we can join forces to deal with the Holy and Demonic races. With you all by our side, we are sure to win. Without us, you are no match for us!"

"Indeed, the Holy and Demon races are currently the strongest; we can join forces..."

The five Dao Tianzun spoke one after another, constantly recounting the strength of the Holy and Demonic races, while also emphasizing their importance.

The crowd looked at the five of them with strange expressions, as if they were looking at five clowns.

"Stop, stop, stop."

Su Yu raised his hand to interrupt them, saying, "Do you think we only have this many people? If you hadn't suddenly descended to the mortal realm, we would have been prepared to deal with both you and the Holy Demon races at the same time. But you delivered yourselves to our doorstep today. There's nothing we can do now but deal with you first, and then go after the Holy Demon races."

The Celestial Desolate was so angry he laughed, saying, "You? You know..."

Before he could finish speaking, more than a hundred powerful auras erupted from outside the realm of fate, silencing him.

Su Yu picked at his ear and said, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Even across the boundary, the aura of the outside world could be felt. Moreover, those within the boundary could see what was happening outside, but Dao Tianzun and the others hadn't noticed it at first.

The mere presence of Su Yu and his group had already intimidated them; who would have thought there was a whole bunch more outside the realm?

"This, this, this..."

This is absolutely shocking!

The five Dao Tianzun looked around and saw Ming Tianzun, Sanyue, Feiqiu, Tuntianwang, Nanwang, and also... Dao Qi.

How come there are immortals? And they seem so powerful. Also, judging from their aura, they're on the path to becoming immortal emperors.

But how come the other side is in the same camp as the human race?

Their gazes shifted to the side, where a deathly aura filled the sky. The four Death Spirit Celestial Venerables, along with ten Death Spirit Quasi-Kings, stood silently to the side, coldly staring at Dao Celestial Venerable and the others across the boundary.

Dao Tianzun and his group of five were shocked once again. Damn it, how come there are still undead?!

Are they the Four Heavenly Kings of the Underworld? They don't quite look like it.

After looking around, their impression was that there were many more powerful figures, even more than when they first started their campaign against Chaos Mountain.

Of course, there is still a gap in the number of Dao Integration Realm cultivators compared to them, but at least they have more top-tier combat power!

Su Yu crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with a smile, "How about it? Is there any need to resist? Even if we gave you one hand, you still couldn't win. Besides, your people in the lower realm are still in our hands. So, just surrender and don't make any futile struggles. Surrender obediently, and everyone will be fine."

"Don't worry, we won't kill you for now. Don't feel so guilty. The Divine Empress and Ji Wu have already surrendered, so it's no big deal if you surrender too. As long as we're alive, we can always fight again."

Marquis Tianming also spoke up, saying, "Gentlemen, you should listen to Emperor Yu. Surrendering will save you some suffering. If a major battle breaks out, it would be bad if someone didn't know their own strength and killed someone."

This was a blatant threat from Marquis Tianming; he was as if saying, "If you don't surrender, you'll be killed."

Dao Tianzun and the others' faces instantly turned purplish-blue. Surrender? Could they afford to lose face like that?

Who surrenders without even fighting!

But after looking around, they realized they really had no chance of winning, and nowhere to run. Now, they either had to die rather than surrender, detonating their own bodies and taking others with them before they died, or they had to surrender.

The phrase "rather die than surrender" sounds good, but they still remember that their clansmen in the lower realm are in the hands of the enemy, and with the clansmen in their divine weapons, if the enemy were to act ruthlessly, their clan would be wiped out.

Extermination of their clan... This was a question they had never even considered before today.

At this moment, they may die, but after they die, will the human race take their anger out on their own people? The answer is definitely yes.

"I'll give you one minute to consider, otherwise, I'll open the upper and lower realms today!"

Impatient, Su Yu issued an ultimatum.

To open the upper and lower realms, you just need to kill them. Once you kill them, the upper and lower realms will naturally open.

Dao Tianzun and the others exchanged glances, their faces filled with bitterness and regret. If they had known it would turn out this way, they would have been better off staying in the Upper Realm.

After taking a dozen or so breaths, they took a deep breath and then said, "We... surrender."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Very good. Now, you can sever your connection with the Great Dao yourselves. Also, release the people inside the divine weapons. Release all those above the Eternal Realm."

Although they were unwilling, Dao Tianzun and the others obediently complied. Since they had already surrendered, they could only obey whatever the other party said.

Soon, Su Yu and his group suppressed Dao Tianzun and the others, eventually imprisoning them in the sealed land to keep the Divine Empress and the others company.

No one was worried that they would escape, because Yun Jie had reinforced the seal. Even if their Great Dao were not sealed, they still wouldn't be able to get out.

In this way, the group captured the powerful members of the four races of immortals, gods, dragons, and phoenixes without shedding a drop of blood. Throughout the entire process, apart from unleashing their aura and moving their mouths, they didn't even lift a finger.

······

Faced with this win-win situation.

Tianmie complained, "It's all about persuading them to surrender, how boring! I want to fight! I don't understand, why keep them alive? Just kill them all!"

Yunxiao glanced at him and said, "Persuading them to surrender is based on strength. If we didn't have so many people and so many strong people, would they be willing to surrender? Besides, their strength is currently sealed. When to kill them is up to us. What's the rush?"

The Hongmeng Old Turtle also spoke up: "Don't worry, you will have a chance to fight next. The Holy and Demon races will definitely not surrender. In addition... there is also the Hundred Battles One side. They may join forces."

The day the seal between the upper and lower realms is lifted will be the day we escape from all battles.

In fact, Bai Zhan could break free right now. The eight quasi-kings responsible for sealing him are no longer there, and he could break the seal and regain his freedom at any time. However, he made no move, as if he was waiting for something.
