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

In the realm of the Lord of Rules, there is a threshold between the first and second levels, which is the difference between the fifth and fourth levels. Similarly, there is a threshold between the third and fourth levels, which is the difference between the fourth and third levels.

Between the masters of rules, the difference in the power of the Great Dao is double for each level. 32 Dao is the super level, so the next level is 64 Dao.

64 Dao, what a huge gap! Yun Jie is already finding it so difficult to advance even one Dao. If he stays in the Myriad Realms, he will never hope to reach 64 Dao in this lifetime.

Thinking it over, Yun Jie stood up. "No, I need to pick up the pace now. I can't keep taking it so easy."

The thought of a wider world waiting for him made Yun Jie's heart race with excitement; it had been a long time since he had felt this way.

Without further ado, Yun Jie planned to strike at the Earth Gate first, intending to provoke a major battle.

The "boiling frog" method is no longer suitable; let's end it sooner rather than later.

······

Swish!

Yun Jie disappeared from the spot.

"Oh, Brother Yun."

The Emperor looked at Yun Jie, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, with some surprise.

Yun Jie smiled and said, "Brother Xingyu, I wonder how well your strength has recovered?"

"It's alright, it's alright." The Emperor nodded.

Half a day ago, he summoned Wen Yi and opened the Heavenly Gate again. This time, King Wen sent out a lot of Great Dao from the gate to the Human Emperor, and the Human Emperor also recovered some of his strength as a result. At this time, he had 31 Great Daos.

Because the Human Emperor had already reached level 35, he had no bottlenecks before level 35, and his progress was very fast.

Of course, no matter how fast he moves, he can't fully recover in a few years.

“Brother Xingyu, time is running out, I think we have to be more aggressive.”

The Emperor was taken aback. "A bit more radical?"

"Correct."

The Human Emperor frowned. "Isn't this a bad idea? Shouldn't we be stalling for time? The slower the Three Gates descend, the more time we'll have to improve ourselves."

Yun Jie said quietly, "We can't hold them off."

"Hmm?" The Emperor was startled. "What has happened?"

"There have been some changes, but it's hard to say right now. I just hope that Brother Xingyu can take action against Tianmen as soon as possible, quickly kill the lords of the forbidden areas, and then lead King Wen and the others to withdraw from Tianmen."

The Human Emperor looked at Yun Jie with a strange expression. "Brother Yun, you think too highly of me. I don't even have 32 Daos yet. How can I kill the Lord of the Forbidden Land? Besides, Wen Yu hasn't been rescued yet."

"How have things been going between you and Qiong lately, Brother Xingyu?" Yun Jie suddenly asked.

The Emperor was immediately startled. How did this guy know?

After a moment of silence, the Emperor replied, "Not bad."

“I know that Brother Xingyu is subtly influencing Qiong through the Great Path of Responsibility, but the speed of doing so is too slow.”

The Emperor gave Yun Jie a speechless look. "You knew that too? This guy..."

"Brother Xingyu, do you know what Qiong's true form is?"

Seeing the puzzled look on the Emperor's face, Yun Jie smiled and said, "Alright, Brother Xingyu probably doesn't know, so let me tell you."

"First of all, the River of Time was created by the Lord of Time, you have no problem with that, right?"

The Emperor nodded.

"Alright, then, do you know what the Lord of Time used to create the River of Time?"

Before the Emperor could speak, Yun Jie continued, "It's a sword! A sword named Azure Sky!"

"The sky?"

The Emperor was taken aback. The sky, the firmament, could it be...?

Yun Jie continued his story...

After listening, the Human Emperor exclaimed in surprise, "So, the true form of Qiong is actually a part of that Azure Sky Sword, the divine character 'Qiong'?"

Yun Jie nodded. "Yes, so, Brother Xingyu, while you are slowly influencing Qiong, you can also promise him some benefits, such as helping him find the sword body, or helping him improve his strength, etc. Basically, you're just making empty promises. You should be very familiar with this. In short, you're trying to get him to stand on our side."

"Uh, but where are we going to find him a sword blade? What if we can't find one..."

"Don't worry, we have it. The sword is in the hands of the people from the Human Sect. Once we kill them, we'll get the sword."

The Emperor looked at Yun Jie with increasing surprise. He felt that Yun Jie knew everything, and that he had underestimated this Great Xuan King.

Chapter 553 Yun Jie = Lord of Time? [Seeking monthly votes! Seeking full subscription!]

······

A moment of silence.

The Human Emperor continued, "Even so, winning over Qiong doesn't seem to have a significant impact on the overall situation. There are already twenty Forbidden Land Lords within the Heavenly Gate alone, not even including the Heavenly Gate itself. Moreover, we don't know how much strength the Heavenly Gate is hiding. Therefore, relying solely on Qiong is not enough."

Yun Jie nodded, "It's indeed not enough. Besides Qiong, we can also bring in the Lord of the Dead. We can win him over as long as the benefits are sufficient. For example, we can help him enter the 36 Paths, help him merge the two heavens, help him come out of the Heavenly Gate, etc. There's bound to be one that can move him."

In order to speed things up, Yun Jie didn't care about anything else and poured out everything he knew.

The Emperor gently pinched his chin, and after thinking it over carefully, he realized that there was indeed room for maneuver.

Yun Jie: "Moreover, the Lord of the Dead is not actually an enemy of the myriad realms. On the contrary, he is not only not an enemy, but also a part of the myriad realms. However, to the Heavenly Gate, he is an outsider and an enemy. They are not dealing with him now only because they are wary of him. Once the Heavenly Gate opens, he will inevitably be targeted..."

After Yun Jie finished speaking, the Human Emperor's eyes flickered, and he said, "Not enough. One Qiong and one Lord of the Dead are still not enough."

Yun Jie sighed, "Then let's add another Valley Master of Fallen Souls. I'll have him help King Wen rescue Wen Yu, and see if we can get Wen Yu to use the Devouring Technique instead."

"By then, Qiong of 36 Paths, the Necromancer Lord of 35 Paths at his peak, the Valley Master of Fallen Souls of 33 Paths, the King of Literature of 32 Paths, and Wen Yu of the Devouring Technique will surely step into the Super level. Add to that a Martial King who may advance to the Super level at any time. That should be enough, right?"

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor looked at Yun Jie as if he had seen a ghost. "The Valley Master of Fallen Souls is your man? How is that possible!"

"Wait a minute," the Emperor remembered that just half a day ago, King Wen and Qiong had told him about the Valley Master of Fallen Souls opening the heavens.

The Human Emperor asked cautiously, "Was the creation of the Heavenly Realm by the Valley Master of Fallen Souls a while ago your doing? During the time you disappeared, you didn't run into the Heavenly Gate, did you? Wait a minute, don't tell me that you are the Valley Master of Fallen Souls."

The Human Emperor stared at Yun Jie, a wave of suspicion washing over him. Damn, this is too exciting!

Today is so exciting!

"Hmm, pretty much right."

Surprisingly, what the Emperor said was somewhat incorrect, but the result was correct.

"Wait a minute, let me sort it out."

The Human Emperor was deeply shocked. He thought he was the number one in all realms, he thought Yun Jie was merely at the peak of the first rank, he thought...

"That's not right. If you are the Valley Master of Fallen Souls, shouldn't you be inside the Heavenly Gate right now? What's going on with you now? A clone?"

The Emperor looked Yun Jie up and down, but he soon realized that he still couldn't see through Yun Jie.

No way, this isn't a clone?

Yun Jie touched the bridge of his nose. "Well... the Valley Master of Fallen Souls is actually my clone. To put it another way, I've replaced the Valley Master of Fallen Souls."

"hiss!"

The Emperor gasped, a chill running down his spine.

'I have replaced the Lord of the Valley of Fallen Souls.'

Such shocking words came out of Yun Jie's mouth so casually, what kind of god is he?

Moreover, when did he replace the Valley Master of Fallen Souls, and how did he manage to deceive everyone in Tianmen?

So they quietly replaced the Lord of Fallen Soul Valley?

The Emperor resisted the urge to distance himself from Yun Jie and asked, "When did this happen?"

Yun Jie: "Not long ago, well, just before you guys came back."

The Emperor rubbed his head and asked, "Just what is your strength?"

Yun Jie waved his hand casually and said modestly, "So-so, probably the best in all realms."

Human Emperor: "..."

I was once the number one in all realms... well, not anymore.

"Damn, something's not right. Are you really from this Tide? How is your strength possible?!"

The Emperor couldn't help but swear.

Immediately afterwards, the Human Emperor looked at Yun Jie suspiciously and said, "You're not the Lord of Time, are you? Don't scare me, my little heart can't take it."

Aside from the return of the Lord of Time, the Human Emperor could find no other explanation.

Only the Lord of Time could be so monstrous.

and many more!

The Human Emperor suddenly remembered his exploitation of the River of Time. Then, he subtly took a few steps back, looking at Yun Jie with a wary expression.

He once joked that if the Lord of Time returned and saw them fleecing him like this, he would definitely kill them. He thought it was just a joke, but little did he know...

Seeing the Human Emperor's behavior, Yun Jie shook his head and laughed, "You're overthinking it. I'm not the Lord of Time. If I were really him, do you think you'd still be standing here unharmed? You'd be the first one I dealt with."

The Emperor smiled awkwardly. It seemed so, but... that was the only reasonable explanation.

"then you……"

"Why be so curious? I just had a chance."

"What kind of opportunity is this? Are there any more? Can I have a share?"

Yun Jie rolled his eyes. "What are you thinking? Of course not."

Even if there were, you wouldn't get a share.

"Any problems now? If not, let's begin. I'll go help King Wen rescue Wen Yu, and you go and meet Qiong and the Lord of the Dead."

The Emperor remained silent for a moment, then said, "I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee success."
