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

"Ha, you don't know? You've been outside for so long, tell me, what do you know?"

The messenger of the Great Sage Who Supports the Sky relentlessly pursued Zhou Ji, seemingly harboring some dissatisfaction with him.

Zhou Ji ignored him and continued to close his eyes to rest.

"you……"

Being ignored, the Angel was furious.

Suddenly, a voice rang out: "So you're here."

The sound was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, startling everyone.

"who!?"

Swish swish!

Everyone in the palace jumped up from their seats and looked around nervously.

"Hehe, don't be nervous. Everyone here is a messenger of the Human Gate. What's there to be nervous about?"

The owner of the voice continued speaking, but he still did not appear.

The group exchanged glances and asked in a deep voice, "Are you the Lord of Chaos or the Ancestor of Humanity?"

There are not many super-strong individuals within the Earth Gate, only a few, far fewer than those within the Heaven Gate and the Human Gate. The strongest within the Earth Gate are the Lord of Chaos and the Ancestor of Humanity, both of whom possess the Thirty-Six Paths.

The remaining Taotie and Yuwang were directly excluded, because given their personalities, they wouldn't play the elusive game of appearing and disappearing without a trace.

The former is tyrannical and will resort to violence directly, while the latter is ruthless and will not hide her true intentions. Moreover, she is a woman, and her voice alone is suspicious.

Yun Jie did not answer their questions. "You don't need to know who I am. Next, I'm going to play a game with you."

"The rules of the game are simple: whoever my sword points at in a moment will die, how about it?"

After saying that, without waiting for their agreement, Yun Jie threw out a sword formed from the power of rules. The long sword fell from the void and crashed into the hall with a bang.

The sword tip was pointed directly at a person.

The man pointed at changed his expression and shouted angrily, "Who's playing tricks here? Come out!"

"Hmm, you're really unlucky to be the first one. Tell me, which Great Sage are you an envoy of? Otherwise, I won't even know who I killed."

At this moment, Yun Jie's mischievousness was on full display.

His purpose in doing this was, of course, to hope that Ji Tian would descend ahead of schedule, even if it was just a little bit of his willpower. If Ji Tian continued to lie low like this, how would he deal with the people?

Of course, if Ji Tian abandons Zhou Ji as his "shell", then there's nothing that can be done.

However, Yun Jie thought that Ji Tian would not give up Zhou Ji's "body". This was the body that would allow him to descend to the human realm sooner. The sooner he came out of the human realm, the sooner he would gain the upper hand.

Aside from Zhou Ji, he couldn't find anyone more suitable for his arrival in the short term.

"If you've got the guts, come out here! You cowardly rat hiding in the shadows, I'll kill you!"

"Is this your last words? I was hoping you would reveal your identity, but if you're so uncooperative, then you might as well die."

A sword rang out with a soft hum.

The next second, a sword light shot in from outside the palace.

boom!

Before the man could react, his vision blurred and he was blasted deep into the ground.

Bang!

The sword light exploded, and the violent blast shook the entire palace several times. A scream came from underground, but it quickly disappeared. Only a firework rose up, foreshadowing his death.

"This……"

The people inside the palace trembled collectively.

One sword.

A first-class Ruler died just like that?

run!

Some people were slow to realize that they needed to run.

Shhhhhh.

Without saying a word, they flew off in all directions.

"You can't leave."

Yun Jie struck down with his palm, which seemed to contain a world, suppressing everyone present.

Rumble!

When everyone turned around, they were quite frightened.

What is this? Wuzhi Mountain?

Yun Jie smiled slightly, precisely blocking everyone's path with his five fingers, and then pulled them back.

"I told you, you can't escape."

At this moment, everyone looked around in fear. The palace had been reduced to ruins, but they still couldn't see the enemy. He was like a ghost, watching them from the shadows and toying with them.

"Alright, let's continue the game."

No sooner had he finished speaking than another sword fell from the void.

As the longsword landed, everyone's hearts were in their throats, fearing the tip would be pointed at them. They now understood that the other party was not joking.

Clang.

The longsword fell to the ground again, this time targeting the messenger of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

"Tsk tsk, your luck isn't so good either."

The Archer broke out in a cold sweat. He looked around frantically, his voice sharp but restrained, "Don't you know who we are? The Great Sage of the Human Sect is not someone you can afford to offend!"

Yun Jie chuckled, "I'm so scared."

As soon as he finished speaking, another sword light fell, a sword from the sky, visible but impossible to block.

As expected, the Angelic Warrior died instantly with a single sword strike.

Having dealt with the Angel of the Sky, Yun Jie said softly, "Come, let me see just how amazing the Great Sage of the Human Sect is. Now, summon the Great Sage behind you. I'm giving you a chance now."

"Next, I'll count to three. Whoever hasn't summoned the Great Sage can die. Three, two..."

At that moment, Yun Jie's voice sounded like a demon's babbling, terrifying everyone.

Without saying a word, everyone began to communicate with the Great Sage behind them.

Zhou Ji frowned, but to save his life, he did as he was told.

Hidden in the shadows, Yun Jie smiled slightly. Although the process was somewhat simple and crude, it seemed to be working well so far.

The gate opens, and the Great Sage descends.

These people, as messengers of the Human Gate, have naturally opened the Human Gate. Only through the Human Gate can the Great Sage be summoned.

buzzing...

Doors swung open one after another, and phantom figures descended in droves.

"Why are you calling me at this time?"

"Hmm, Beitian, Hongtian... why are you both here?"

Upon seeing the astonishing phantom, good heavens, it wasn't just him; all the Great Sages had descended.

No, it should be said that they are still in the process of arriving.

With so many of them, the gate certainly wouldn't let them all in, making their descent somewhat difficult.

Yun Jie ignored them for the time being and kept a close eye on Zhou Ji.

Ji Tian also descended, but he was relatively quiet, silently observing his surroundings.

Yun Jie smiled and said, "It's good that you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Now that Ji Tian has arrived, Yun Jie has no intention of playing along any longer.

With each swing of the longsword, a person fell. With each fall, the medium was gone, and the descent of the Great Sage of the Human Gate was naturally interrupted.

In the end, only Zhou Ji and a phantom image of Ji Tian remained on the field.

Zhou Ji's pupils contracted. Was the other party coming for him?

Thinking about it, he looked at Ji Tian.

Ji Tian's illusory figure chuckled lightly: "Interesting. It seems you came here specifically to see me."

"Who are you? Are you here to discuss cooperation or...?"

"If we want to cooperate, please let Zhou Ji leave first, and then we can talk about it later."

Yun Jie refused, saying, "That won't do. What's the point of talking to a mere phantom like you? Either you descend in your true form, or you find a body, merge with it briefly, and then we can talk."

Ji Tian's eyes flickered several times before he said, "Fellow Daoist is joking. You've killed everyone now, where am I supposed to find a body? Besides, my current self is the same as my true self; our information is completely synchronized."

Yun Jie: "How can there not be? Isn't there one right next to you? Don't tell me you can't control him. If you can't even do this, I think I need to find a new partner. Of course, maybe you don't care about a mere partner, but if I expose your affair with Jing Tian, ​​then your plan... hehe."

"Fellow Daoist, you're quite the joker. What could possibly be between me and Jingtian? Alright, since things have come to this point, then I..."

The next moment, Ji Tian's phantom merged into Zhou Ji's body. Zhou Ji's body stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

Ji Tian controlled Zhou Ji's body and moved it slightly, then smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, now we can have a proper talk, right?"

"Yes, of course."

A smile spread across Yun Jie's face as his figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

"It's you!"
