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

Although they didn't know why Yun Jie targeted these two first, the Human Emperor and the others were happy to see it happen.

At least, he can live a little longer in prison.

Don't be fooled by their promise to Yun Jie that they wouldn't stop him from killing Yu; when the time comes, they'll still feel guilty.

After all, they had known Yu for tens of thousands of years, always addressing each other as brother and sister, sharing a deep bond and having been through thick and thin together. How could they not feel compassion for him?

If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have covered up the prisoner back then.

Ultimately, none of them are saints. Anyone would know how to choose between those close to them and those not close to them. Even the emperor has his own selfish motives.

Therefore, the Human Emperor is merely the Human Emperor, not the Emperor of all races.

In his heart, humanity and his brothers and sisters were far more important than other races. Even though he knew his sister had done something wrong, he would rather go against his principles than kill her.

Of course, that was in the past. Now, although they may feel a little reluctant, they will not stop others from killing Yu. No matter what, Yu has indeed betrayed the human race, and that cannot be changed.

Yun Jie looked at Yi Yue and Hou and said, "Tell me about Taotie and Gu Niu."

In January, the Hou were stunned for a moment, and they looked at the Human Emperor.

The Emperor said calmly, "There's no need to look at me. Just answer whatever he asks, and do the same for everyone else."

Hou and Yiyue nodded, then quickly said, "According to the intelligence we have gathered, Taotie's strength is roughly around 33 Dao. It usually stays alone in a dark area, and because of its personality, it rarely interacts with others."

Taotie, which devours everything, is indeed rarely associated with. If it were to get hungry one day, it would simply swallow you whole.

"In addition, the situation of the ancient ox is similar. Ancient beasts all prefer to be alone, but its strength is weaker than that of the Taotie. It is said that it only has 32 Dao."

Yun Jie nodded slightly. The strength of Taotie and Gu Niu was not different, one with 33 Dao and the other with 32 Dao.

In addition, Yun Jie also knew that Hou and Yi Yue were not the problem; neither of them had betrayed them.

Yun Jie tapped the table lightly and said calmly, "I think... we can split into two groups and take them both out at once."

On their side, there are five super-level beings: one is a Qiongzhu (a high-level expert) with 36 Dao, he himself has 35 Dao, Wen Yu has 34 Dao, and the Human Emperor and Martial King both have 32 Dao.

With such strength, splitting their forces into two groups is no problem at all.

However, the Emperor and his men were still stunned. They had never thought of splitting their forces into two groups.

The Emperor frowned slightly: "Wouldn't that be a bad idea? If the enemy cuts us in half and defeats us one by one, we'll be in a very passive position."

The territory of the Taotie and the territory of the Ancient Ox are far apart. Even for them, it would take some time to cross these two forbidden areas.

In fact, no two forbidden areas are adjacent to each other. The owners of forbidden areas are territorial and, unless they are mentally deficient or have a very close relationship, no one would compete with other owners of forbidden areas to occupy their territory.

Yun Jie shook his head and said, "It's alright. Currently, the only ones inside the Earth Gate who can separate us are the Lord of Chaos and the Ancestor of Humanity. Unless the two of them join forces, they can't stop us."

"However, there is almost no chance that these two will join forces. That Ancestor of Humanity has a lot of plans in store for him."

After saying that, Yun Jie's lips curled up, as if he had thought of something happy.

The Human Emperor and the others exchanged glances. They had developed a certain immunity to Yun Jie's seemingly omniscient nature, and they were no longer easily surprised.

Yesterday was shocking enough...

Suddenly, Yun Jie looked towards Bihua Mountain, the ancestral home of the Human Ancestor, wondering if the Human Ancestor had become anxious during the days Zhou Ji had been missing.

"So how should we divide it now?"

Since Wen Yu came in, her mouth has been constantly moving; she's been eating non-stop.

Yun Jie looked at her, then at the others, and said, "Wen Yu and I will go together. The two of us will deal with Gu Niu. Qiong, the Human Emperor, and the Martial King, the three of you will deal with Taotie."

Yun Jie and Wen Yu are both Creators, one with 35 Dao and the other with 34 Dao, so dealing with Gu Niu should be no problem for them.

On the other hand, with the 36 Heavenly Daos, plus the Human Emperor and the Martial King, dealing with the Taotie shouldn't be too much of a problem.

As for Yun Jie's assignment, since the assignment was reasonable, the Emperor and the others nodded in agreement after some thought.

"That's settled then. Let's move out now. Once we find the target, there's nothing to worry about. This isn't the Heavenly Gate, nor the Human Gate, but the weakest Earthly Gate. So, if we're exposed, so be it. Just focus all your energy on killing the target," Yun Jie instructed in his final words.

"it is good!"

They thought it made sense. With only five Forbidden Land Lords at the gate, they had no idea what the others feared. Once they killed Taotie and Gu Niu, only the Lord of Chaos, the Ancestor of Humanity, and Yu would remain.

"go!"

Yun Jie and Wen Yu left first.

The Human Emperor looked at Hou and Yiyue and said, "You two can stay here."

After saying this, without waiting for their response, the three Human Emperors disappeared from the spot.

After the Human Emperor left, Hou and Yiyue exchanged a glance and said in unison, "The heavens of the Earth Gate... are about to change!"

······

On the road.

Yun Jie and Wen Yu continued to traverse the void, with Wen Yu eating while observing the surrounding environment.

Soon, Wen Yu made a discovery: "The aura of world destruction inside the Earth Gate seems to be stronger than that inside the Heaven Gate."

Yun Jie nodded after hearing this and said, "That's normal. The so-called aura of world destruction is spreading from the Human Gate. The Earth Gate is closer to the Human Gate than the Heaven Gate."

"Oh, I see."

Yun Jie glanced at Wen Yu, whose mouth was covered in grease from eating, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Um... have you ever thought about marriage?" Yun Jie asked awkwardly.

"what!?"

Wen Yu froze instantly. She didn't understand why Yun Jie was asking this. Could it be that he...

No no no no!

She remembered that Yun Jie had a wife and twin children, he...

Wen Yu wiped the grease off her lips, her figure shifted, and she returned to her original image as a female scholar.

She looked at Yun Jie, incredulously asking, "Why are you asking this? You wouldn't... want to marry me, would you? No, no, we've barely met, we're not even close, and besides, you have a wife and children..."

After saying that, Wen Yu's cheeks flushed slightly, whether from excitement or something else, it was hard to tell.

Yun Jie was completely bewildered: ???

He was foolish back then.

Uh... okay, I know my words were misunderstood.

Yun Jie gave a wry smile. "I think you've misunderstood. I asked this not because of me."

"It's like this, I have a grandson, he is very outstanding..." Before she could finish speaking, Wen Yu interrupted her.

"You mean Su Yu?"

"Yeah, you know him too. How about that? Not bad, right? To be honest, if it weren't for me, he should be the one leading you guys into the underground gate right now."

Wen Yu's expression was slightly strange. So, when he asked her if she had considered marriage, he was trying to find a partner for Su Yu.

Thinking of this, Wen Yu's face turned even redder. She had been too hasty. It wouldn't have been too late to speak after others had finished. Now she had made a fool of herself.

However, she didn't blush for long and quickly recovered. Then she shook her head: "Forget about Su Yu. He already has Xingyue, and I heard he has another one in the Human Realm... uh, I won't get involved."

Wen Yu refused.

Come to think of it, she had only met Su Yu once, so it was perfectly normal for her to refuse. Yun Jie had also considered it.

"Alright then... but if there's a chance, you can spend more time together," Yun Jie said, still unwilling to give up.

Wen Yu couldn't refuse, so she nodded in agreement.

Without saying another word, the two hurried to the vicinity of the Ancient Ox Forbidden Land.

Ahead lay only darkness and nothingness; there was no trace of the forbidden area.

Wen Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What should we do?"

Yun Jie did not answer, but instead gave his answer directly. Yun Jie's immense willpower swept across the void.

boom!!!

"How dare you! Who is it? Who is spying on me?!"

A giant bull emerged from the void, its eyes blazing with fire, exuding a murderous aura.

Yun Jie looked at Wen Yu and smiled, "Look, we found it, didn't we?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Jie disappeared from the spot. The next second, a towering jade palm slammed down towards the ancient ox.

Wen Yu gave a wry smile; this woman really didn't play by the rules. Then, she too vanished from the spot.

"Disrupt the Void!!"

A soft shout rang out, and Wen Yu's figure appeared. Immediately afterwards, the void around the ancient bull was disturbed, and a spatial storm swept in all directions.

"not good!!"

The ancient ox realized something was wrong; someone wanted to kill it!

The man and woman were complete strangers; clearly, they were not from inside the Earth Gate.

"Are you from the Human Realm or from the myriad realms?!" Gu Niu questioned while defending himself.

It had heard about the infiltration of the Human Gate by the Earth Gate, but even if it knew, there was nothing it could do. Even it wanted to cooperate with the Human Gate, didn't it?

Since the Earth Gate era was the weakest, it was normal for others to switch factions in order to save their lives.

Yun Jie and his companion did not respond; when it comes to killing the enemy, there is no need for words.

The next moment, the two realms covered the ancient ox.

When they entered the Earth Gate, Yun Jie, Wen Yu, and the Human Emperor all brought their own world with them.

To prevent the gate from suddenly severing the connection between the inside and outside, it's best to carry the Heaven and Earth with you.

This makes upgrading easier.

Over the years, King Wen suffered because he failed to bring Heaven and Earth into the Heavenly Gate.

Of course, there are gains and losses. If King Wen had chosen to bring Heaven and Earth into the Forbidden Land back then, he might have died long ago. The other lords of the Forbidden Land would certainly not have let him go unpunished. It was precisely because he was not a great threat that the people of Tianmen did not pay much attention to him.

Therefore, as the saying goes, "a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise." King Wen's unintentional decision not only saved his own life but also saved the lives of King Wu and Wen Yu.
