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

"Hmm? Who else?"

After careful consideration, the Emperor and the others realized that Yun Jie had indeed only given three examples, and there was no fourth.

Yun Jie pointed helplessly to himself, "Me."

"..."

Holy crap, they were so shocked they forgot there was someone of unknown ability right in front of them.

"So, which of the four of you is the strongest?"

"And another thing, the purpose of the Earth Gate is to devour the River of Time, so what about Cang? What about the spirit in the Human Gate? What are their purposes? And finally, what about you? What is your purpose?"

A series of questions came out of their mouths.

"The spirit sealed by the Human Gate is called Black Scale. The Locust Devourer in the Heavenly Gate is its masterpiece. Its purpose is similar to that of the Demon Flame, which is the Earth Gate. Although it does not devour the River of Time, the final result is also the destruction of the world. The myriad worlds are a cage set up by the Lord of Time for it. It wants to break it and escape from here."

"As for Cang, it also wants to completely control and refine the River of Time. In general, they are birds of a feather, but they are birds of a feather that are hostile to each other."

"As for me..."

Yun Jie grinned, "My goal is simple: whoever tries to devour the River of Time, I'll kill them!"

PS:

On the last day of 2021, will any big shots shower me with love?

Please give me a tip and subscribe to the full subscription!

Year-end summary, month-end summary.

······

First is the end-of-month summary.

Here, I must apologize. My December updates were terrible, and I even took two days off in a row. As a result, the word count for this month was only 140,000, which is the fewest I've updated in a single month since the book was published.

Therefore, I, Shujian, deeply regret my actions and am truly sorry.

The main reason is the new book. My energy was diverted. Since last month, Shujian has been thinking about the new book, and then it was published this month. I believe everyone has seen it.

However, due to issues with the book's quality and update schedule, the new book lagged behind and failed to advance in this week's recommendations.

Of course, if you don't advance, you can wait until you have more words before reading. However, Shujian really doesn't want to write anymore. His own abilities are what they are, and he is not suitable for writing original works for the time being. Therefore, Shujian plans to quit.

Don't get me wrong, I'm cutting the new book, not this one. This one will be updated continuously, after all, I rely on this one for my livelihood...

So, all I can say here is sorry to those readers who invested in Shujian's new book!

······

Next comes the year-end summary.

First of all, this fanfiction about all races is the second book in The Book and the Sword, and it is also the one with the most words and the best results.

I started writing this book at the end of May and it was released on July 9th.

Shujian clearly remembers that when it was published, the word count was about 21, the first subscription was about 460, and the average subscription was 406.

It's December now, and five months have passed since it was first published, while this book has been on the market for seven months.

Five months after its release, it has grown from 210,000 words to 151 million words, a total of 1.3 million words. It can't be called a lot, and it certainly can't compare to those "word machines". After all, the speed of Shujian is only 1500 words per hour. When I used to write 10,000 words a day, it would take me at least seven hours.

Some people might say, "It's only been 7 hours, there's still so much time, keep writing!"

But it really won't work!

Thinking about all this is driving me crazy!

I feel dizzy all the time, and I'm always worried that I might suddenly die. If a homebody like me were to die in my room, I might not even be noticed even if I started to stink...

Writing novels really requires a lot of mental effort. Even though you sit all day, your brain is never stopping. It's really tiring, even more tiring than doing heavy manual labor...

I'm not trying to elicit sympathy; anyone who writes this will know. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to join the ranks of authors, and you'll see then.

Five months after its release, it has reached 130 million words, which is definitely a lot on Qidian and is considered top-tier. Therefore, Shujian is quite proud of it!

Although it's been a slowdown for the past two months, it was once glorious!

Finally, let's talk about the results. When it was first released, the average daily subscription was 406, and now it's around 1325, a little over three times, but less than four times. It's still far from being a top-selling item, I can't even imagine...

However, when I first started writing this book, I thought it would be good if I could get 500 average subscriptions to earn the full attendance bonus. Unexpectedly, the performance after it was released improved, and now it has even reached 1325 average subscriptions. It was beyond my expectations, and I am very happy!

This wouldn't have been possible without the support of all the readers, and also with the incredible updates from Shujian, hehe...

In addition, many readers have given rewards. I won't mention the Silver Alliance, and as for Shujian himself... well, you know. Besides them, there are also the Sect Leader, Protectors, Elders, and Leaders, etc. Thank you all very much for your rewards.

In conclusion, thank you all for your support and subscriptions. It is you who have kept me writing "Book and Sword" until now, and I will continue to write it. After "Myriad Races" is finished, it will be "Star Gate". Let's go!

Let's return to the book itself.

As mentioned earlier in The Book and the Sword, after the completion of the Myriad Races World, comes Star Gate.

Star Gate is still being written, but the basic outline is already there. Also, the starting point for Book and Sword will be similar to the beginning of this book, and it won't be in the same generation as the original protagonist... I won't go into details yet, you'll find out when you read it.

In short, a new year, a new journey, I hope everyone will continue to support Shujian!

Finally, I wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance!

May you enjoy good health, all your wishes come true, abundant wealth, and a happy ending for lovers! May all good things come true!

Hahaha……

Oh right, I forgot to mention, starting next month, January, there will be double monthly votes from the 1st to the 7th. Please remember to save your votes for Shujian! Please!

Chapter 579 The Number One Person in All Realms! [Seeking monthly votes! Seeking full subscription!]

······

“I’ve actually said my purpose many times already,” Yun Jie continued.

Suddenly, the Human Emperor blurted out, "You still say you're not the Lord of Time?!"

Yun Jie glanced at him, three question marks appearing above his head.

Why bring up the Lord of Time out of the blue?

Others were also curious as to why the Emperor would say such a thing.

The Human Emperor explained, "He just said that he would kill anyone who tries to devour the River of Time. Isn't that what the master thought when he returned and saw someone trying to take his things?"

"Moreover, his strength is so abnormal. Wen Lao Er and I are talented enough, but look at him."

Uh……

When others heard this, it seemed to make some sense.

However, the Lord of the Dead and the Lord of the Sky still had some doubts, so they asked the Human Emperor, "Um... how old is he now?"

The Emperor said dejectedly, "A little over five hundred."

"I think so?"

As he spoke, the Emperor looked at Yun Jie, the person involved.

Yun Jie nodded helplessly, and also realized something else: he was actually over five hundred years old. Indeed, he wasn't a genius after all…

Especially compared to Su Yu in the original work, he was just a useless dog. Compared to four or five years, five hundred years was just a useless dog, wasn't it?

Fortunately, the Emperor and his men didn't know what Yun Jie was thinking; otherwise, they would have wanted to kill him by now.

"Are you the Lord of Time, or a reincarnation, or an avatar?" The group looked at Yun Jie.

Seeing their earnest and curious expressions, Yun Jie shook his head and chuckled: "If I were truly the Lord of Time, would you still be sitting here so peacefully? Which of you hasn't taken advantage of the River of Time?"

"If I were the Lord of Time, would it be too much for me to kill you all? Would you feel wronged?"

After thinking about it carefully, everyone agreed.

"So, stop thinking about all that nonsense. The Lord of Time can't possibly come back. I suspect that the myriad worlds and the River of Time were just things he casually created. They're not important to him at all. Otherwise, he would have returned long ago."

Yun Jie indeed made this judgment. In his opinion, the Lord of Time's strength far exceeded that of the 49 Daos, and Yun Jie could not estimate exactly how strong he was.

We'll only know when we encounter it in the future.

A time river opened up at will? No way!

The Human Emperor and his companions found it hard to believe that the River of Time, which they had casually created, was so powerful. Was the Lord of Time still human then?

"Don't be skeptical. Chaos is boundless. According to my speculation, the current location of the myriad worlds is likely in a remote corner. The strongest being nearby is only a Demon Flame. If such a thing were to encounter the Lord of Time, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single sword strike."

Hearing Yun Jie's 'praise' of the Lord of Time, the Human Emperor and the Lord of the Dead couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"Then haven't you ever thought about devouring the River of Time?" the Lord of the Dead suddenly asked, a peculiar light flashing in his eyes.

Yun Jie shook his head. "You may not believe it, but I'm telling you seriously, if I really intend to devour the River of Time, neither you, nor Demon Flame, Azure, nor Black Scale, nor anyone else can stop me!"

"In the end, the myriad worlds are also where I was born, where my relatives, friends, and compatriots were born. You could say that the myriad worlds are our hometown, a place that countless people cherish and cannot be destroyed!"

At this moment, Yun Jie's expression was extremely serious.

He wasn't lying; he genuinely had no intention of devouring the River of Time. Even though devouring the River of Time could rapidly increase his strength, he never entertained the thought of doing so.

Not only that, but all he has done over the years has been to thwart the Demon Flame's conspiracy and prevent it from devouring the River of Time. In a sense, Yun Jie can be considered the guardian of the River of Time.

After hearing this, the Human Emperor, the Lord of the Dead, and the others narrowed their eyes. For some reason, after hearing what Yun Jie said, they believed it. A voice in their hearts told them that what the other party said was true.

"So, you're the number one person in all the heavens and myriad realms?" the Lord of the Dead asked again.

This is indeed his style. For many years, he has often claimed to be second only to the Lord of Time. His goal is to surpass the Lord of Time. He never expected that there are several beings in the myriad worlds whose strength far surpasses his.

Looking at it this way, he's just a fake second place, purely entertaining himself.

"Yes, if we don't count the Lord of Time."

Now that things have come to this, Yun Jie has openly admitted it.

Although they had suspected it beforehand, they were still surprised to hear Yun Jie admit it himself.

First of all, according to what Yun Jie said before, both Mo Yan and Cang are 46 Dao Supreme experts. Now that Yun Jie considers himself the number one, it means that his strength is still above 46 Dao, which is terrifying!

"So, the reason you've been constantly hiding yourself and your strength is because you're afraid they'll join forces against you?"
