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

Now that you're in, don't even think about getting out. Stay in there forever!

So it readily agreed, saying, "Okay, no problem. If you want to come out, I will do my best to cooperate."

Seeing that it agreed so readily, the Human Emperor and the others knew there was something fishy going on, but they were too lazy to expose it. No matter what the Earth Gate was planning, they were fearless!

Having said that, Dimen let out a muffled shout, and a black vortex appeared in front of him.

"Hurry! Time is limited!"

"Don't let the ancient beasts inside escape."

Di Men looked strained and said with difficulty.

Yun Jie and the other three exchanged a glance, then plunged headfirst into the black vortex.

Last time, his main body was passively sucked in, but this time he entered voluntarily.

Soon, the black vortex disappeared, and Yun Jie and the others vanished as well.

King Wen and the Lord of the Dead exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. Then, the two moved a little away from the gate, but not far, as they still needed to keep an eye on it.

The reason they stayed away from it was because they were worried that the gate might suddenly erupt. The farther away they were, the more time they would have to react. A little time was enough for them to decide whether to fight or retreat.

Moreover, now that only the two of them remain, if the Earth Gate were to kill someone, they would be far from being its match.

The two members of the Earth Gate team did not suspect much about their actions. Although it often boasted that it was the weakest of the three gates, it depended on who it was compared to. It was understandable that the Lord of the Dead and King Wen were wary of it.

Seeing that the two hadn't gone too far, a little thought began to stir in Dimen's mind.

"Um... could you explain how you were able to cooperate with the Lord of the Void and the Fallen Soul? As far as I know, they come from the Heavenly Gate and are sealed beings. To survive, they must absorb enough yang energy, which is the Great Dao of the Yang Realm. Logically, you should be natural enemies, so why..."

The Earth Gate only questioned the Lord of the Sky and the 'Lord of Fallen Souls Valley,' ignoring the Lord of the Dead. Putting aside the fact that the Lord of the Dead originally belonged to the myriad realms, given his situation within the sect, it's not surprising that he would join forces with Xingyu and the others.

It was the Lord of the Sky and the Lord of the Fallen Soul Valley who piqued its curiosity, and it couldn't quite figure them out for the time being.

The Lord of the Dead remained indifferent, showing no intention of answering. He was pondering how someone like Demon Flame could cultivate to the 46th level.

In his view, a person who cultivates the Tao should forge ahead without hesitation; how can one improve oneself if one is so cowardly?

Unlike the Lord of the Dead, King Wen was happy to chat with the Earth Gate.

"It's not surprising that Lord Qiong and Lord Luohun Valley would cooperate with us. The main reason is that my elder brother is sincere. His sincerity moved and influenced them, so..."

"As you just saw, Brother Xing and Qiong have a very good relationship."

After hearing this, Dimen couldn't help but complain, "Does he really think it's blind?"

Although it is currently in the form of a portal, it doesn't mean it's blind. It can tell whether Xingyu and Qiong have a good relationship or not. Their relationship is just so-so, probably the kind of friendship that has only recently been established.

At the same time, Dimen decided to remain silent, as asking would be pointless. Despite King Wen's serious expression, not a single word he uttered was true.

Then, the three fell silent, and the upper realm returned to peace.

······

Inside the underground gate.

The figures of Yun Jie, the Human Emperor, Wen Yu, the Martial King, and the Lord of the Sky appeared simultaneously.

The first thing the group did upon entering was to survey the interior. Suddenly, several voices sounded from the side.

"His Majesty!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty! Greetings, Lord Wu!"

Yun Jie and the others looked up and saw a huge iron-eating beast and a giant hou flying towards them.

The moment they saw them, the Emperor and King Wu both smiled. It was as if old acquaintances had reunited.

The enormous iron-eating beast in front of them was Yi Yue, and the other ancient Hou was the first Hou Emperor, who was also the Martial King's former mount. Before the incident in ancient times, the Human Emperor sent them into the Earth Gate, along with the Fighting King.

The Human Emperor was not unprepared for this entry into the Earth Gate. He notified January and the Ancient Hou Emperor in advance to meet him near the Earth Gate.

In addition, the Human Emperor did not inform the Dou Wang. Firstly, the Dou Wang was considered one of his hidden agents, and it was not convenient to expose him for the time being. Secondly, after the Hundred Battles incident, the Human Emperor had also developed some suspicions about the Dou Wang.

Of course, it's just a sliver of doubt at the moment. After all, Dou Wang fought alongside him to conquer the world back then; they were brothers. Unless there's concrete evidence that Dou Wang betrayed him, he's still willing to believe in Dou Wang.

back to the front.

The Human Emperor and King Wu smiled slightly: "Yiyue, Hou, it's been a long time."

At that moment, January and Hou transformed into human form and exclaimed, "Yes, it really has been a long time."

For the Human Emperor and King Wu, only a few thousand years had passed, less than ten thousand years, but they were different.

The Earth Gate has always stood in the Upper Realm, and is the closest portal to all realms. In other words, the flow of time inside the Earth Gate is different from that upstream of the River of Time and inside the Heavenly Gate. Its flow of time is faster than the former two. Now, more than 10,000 years have passed since they entered the Earth Gate in January, which is nearly twice that of the Human Emperor and his group.

For over ten thousand years, they almost gave up, but thankfully, at the last moment, the Human Emperor returned.

Suddenly, they saw Wen Yu in the crowd and were startled, feeling somewhat frightened.

Seeing this, Wen Yu said helplessly, "What? I didn't do those things back then, it was Yu! Whether it was killing Er Yue or anything else, it was all Yu's doing. I was just a scapegoat."

In January, Hou hesitated for a moment and said, "This...we know, His Majesty has already told us."

But I still can't help being scared!

The legend of the Time Master is quite intimidating.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Wen Yu's eyes. Well, the little reputation she had left had been ruined by Yu.

"Ahem, let's not talk about that now."

The Emperor coughed lightly. He and Wen Lao Er were also involved in this matter. If they hadn't considered their sibling relationship and chosen to turn a blind eye, repeatedly indulging Yu, the final outcome wouldn't have been like this.

To be honest, the emperor also felt a little regretful.

He quickly composed himself, looked at Yiyue and Hou, and asked, "How is it? Have you cleared out all the ancient beasts and people around here?"

Before they came in, the Emperor had given them the order to clear their eyes and ears.

January: "Yes, it's all cleaned up."

The Emperor nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "Let's go then. You are familiar with the Earth Gate, so you can lead the way, and we'll talk somewhere else."

Throughout the entire process, the Human Emperor made no attempt to introduce Yun Jie and the Lord of the Vault, because there was no need; they would find out sooner or later anyway.

On the road.

In January, he led the way while also sharing common knowledge and information about the underground world with everyone.

Hou and King Wu have been reunited after a long separation, and the two are now catching up.

Soon, Yun Jie and his group of seven arrived at a secluded cave.

This is where January and Hou meet in private.

When the Human Emperor brought them in, he assigned them to different factions, so they rarely met each other, and even when they did, it was always in secret.

Now that the Human Emperor and his entourage have entered, they've become a little bolder.

Inside the cave, Yun Jie and the others gathered around a stone table, on which lay a map of the distribution of the Earth Gate's forces that they had collected over the years.

The records of various forces, large and small, such as Bihua Mountain of the Ancestor of Humanity, the Avici Hell of the Prison, and the Immortal Mountain of the Lord of Chaos, are all on it.

The group of people lightly traced lines on the map. After a few seconds of silence, the Human Emperor looked at Yun Jie and asked, "Next, which one should we attack first?"

Needless to say, since Yun Jie revealed his strength, he has become the backbone of the group.

Upon hearing the Human Emperor ask for the opinion of a stranger, both Yi Yue and Hou couldn't help but glance at Yun Jie a few more times.

This person is...

And who is this one? His sword intent is so surging, and his strength is unfathomable. They have seen the Ancestor of Humanity and the Lord of Chaos from afar, and they feel that their aura is similar to that of the sword cultivator in front of them.

Neither Yun Jie nor Qiong paid any attention to their scrutiny.

Yun Jie raised an eyebrow, tapped the table lightly with his index finger, and pondered for a moment before saying, "One must eat one bite at a time. The Ancestor of Humanity and the Lord of Chaos are the strongest, so there's no rush for now. As for the Prison... there's no rush either. Let's start with Taotie and Ancient Bull. These two are loners and the easiest to kill."

"Taotie and Ancient Ox?"

The group paused for a moment, somewhat surprised.

They thought Yun Jie would excitedly run off to seek revenge on Yu, but he didn't.

What revenge? Of course, it's the revenge against the human race and the allied races. For the past 100,000 years, everything that has happened in the myriad realms has been inextricably linked to the Prison.

In other words, Yu and the human race of the Tenth Tide have an irreconcilable feud. Everyone hates her and wants to kill her, and Yun Jie is no exception.

At the same time, before entering, Yun Jie had already mentioned to the Human Emperor and the others that he was determined to kill Yu and hoped that they would not stop him.

The Emperor, King Wen, King Wu, and Wen Yu had nothing to say about this; they no longer wanted to argue or defend themselves, as the facts were undeniable.

Besides, even if they wanted to stop them, they couldn't.

Therefore, they all initially thought that Yun Jie's primary goal was prison, which is why they were somewhat surprised at this moment.

Yun Jie offered no explanation.

Yu, a cold-blooded and vicious woman, can be killed slowly later. What's the rush? He's not in a hurry at all.

Kill her father first, then her mother, and finally let her die in agony.

This is the best punishment for her!

After a moment of silence.

"In that case, let's kill the Taotie and the Ancient Ox first," said the Human Emperor.

"Taotie and Gu Niu are good..."

Wen Yu, the "big foodie," was extremely excited. At this moment, she couldn't help but raise both hands and feet in agreement.

King Wu frowned. "Very well."

The Lord of the Sky, focused on his sword, said indifferently, "Whatever."
