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

Black Scales awoke instantly, realizing something was wrong!

"Hahaha, Black Scale, just grant my wish!"

Cang's eyes shone brighter and brighter; victory was within reach!

It wants to devour the black scales, it wants to completely control the river of time, it doesn't want to die!!

······

The situation changed in an instant.

The two sides, who were originally evenly matched, were brought together by a small mistake by Black Scale.

At this moment, Black Scale was completely suppressed by Cang. Not only did it lose 10% of its control over the Long River, but Cang's strength also returned to the peak of 46 Dao. This situation was extremely unfavorable to it.

Although Cang couldn't completely kill it, it didn't want to lose control of the River of Time. Without it, it would be a lamb to the slaughter, at the mercy of others.

"Don't even think about it!!"

Cang attempted to seize control of Heilin's remaining power, but Heilin resisted fiercely, and the two struggled against each other like a tug-of-war.

Between the two, a book appeared; it was the core of the river of time, the Book of the River.

Whoever controls it controls the entire river of time.

Now Cang has seized control of 10% of Black Scale's territory, and combined with its previous 70%, it now controls 80% of the territory by itself.

The black scales, which make up the remaining 20%, are putting up a stubborn resistance.

However, at this point, it was already completely at a disadvantage, and defeat was only a matter of time.

Just as they were pulling at each other, no one noticed that a figure quietly appeared above them.

Yun Jie silently observed them, his expression calm, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Suddenly.

Yun Jie's eyes flickered, and a long sword instantly formed in his hand. Then, his figure disappeared and appeared above Cang's head, slashing down with the sword.

Sizzle...

The heavens are silently torn apart!

Cang Meng looked up and saw Yun Jie. He was immediately startled. Yun Jie had arrived so quickly!

Without time to think, Cang quickly retreated, attempting to avoid Yun Jie's sword strike.

As it retreated, it roared, "Black Scale, the Great Xuan King is here! If you don't grant my wish, we'll both die! He won't let us go!!"

As Cang retreated, Heilin was not idle either; it also retreated.

In any case, the sudden appearance of the Great Xuan King saved it from a predicament; otherwise, it would have undoubtedly lost if things had continued like this.

After Yun Jie unleashed a sword strike, he didn't rush to attack. His attack seemed to have been solely aimed at separating the two.

At this moment, Cang and Heilin were both watching Yun Jie with great vigilance. If they were enemies just now, they were now cooperating.

When there are no outsiders, they can fight to the death, but if an outsider appears, and that outsider is much stronger than them, then they will unite.

In fact, it's not just Cang and Heilin who are like this; many people are.

The strongest opponent is the most unpredictable; eliminating them first will naturally reduce the number of unpredictable opponents.

However, even the two of them combined are not enough to defeat Yun Jie, unless Black Scale really gives up all control over the River of Time.

Originally, with the addition of Demon Flame, the three of them could have given Yun Jie a run for his money. Normally, Black Scale is at level 45, Azure is at level 46 (peak), and they are very close to level 47. Demon Flame, with the fusion of the two gates, two rebirths in fire, and the fusion of the two heavens, is able to reach level 47.

Therefore, combining the strength of these three individuals, they could indeed contend with Yun Jie.

In truth, Demon Flame's death was somewhat unjust; it never had the chance to merge the two heavens before it died.

It originally intended to use this as its trump card, but the result was tragic.

Looking at the two wary spirits, Yun Jie smiled. He turned to Hei Lin and said, "Hei Lin, I know you. You want to leave the myriad realms, right? Fine, I'll help you think of a way, but on the condition that you don't hand over control of the River of Time to Cang."

Before Hei Lin could reply, Cang said with a disdainful look, "Hei Lin, you don't believe him, do you? As long as the River of Time doesn't break, you can't leave. If the River of Time breaks, all the worlds will inevitably collapse. Do you think he would do that?"

What Cang said was exactly what Heilin was worried about, and it didn't believe Yun Jie's words either.

Yun Jie smiled and shook his head, "You guys, how should I put it?"

"With my strength, so what if all the worlds collapse? Can't I reunite them? As long as the power of the River of Time remains and the foundation is still there, it is not difficult to reunite them."

Reunion is not about starting anew, nor is it about creating something from nothing. The river of time already exists, and simply reuniting it is something that Yun Jie, though difficult, can manage with a bit of grit.

Moreover, Yun Jie is confident that he will soon reach the fiftieth level, at which point reuniting with the River of Time and recreating myriad worlds will be much easier.

Of course, Yun Jie may say this now, but he may not actually do it. Anyone can make empty promises.

As long as promising something in return can keep Blackscale in check and prevent it from recklessly handing over control of the Long River to Cang, Yun Jie is willing to offer it a few more promises.

"Of course, I can let you go, but you can only go on your own, taking your path of calamity with you. As for the rest, including control of the Long River, you must hand it all over."

Making empty promises requires skill. You can't be too lenient with a clever person like Heilin, or he'll become suspicious.

This is a common problem among intelligent people: they are suspicious all the time. If you agree too painfully, it will doubt you. If you hesitate and finally give in, it will still doubt you.

Hearing Yun Jie say this, Hei Lin began to think about it seriously.

It must be admitted that what the Great Xuan King said makes sense. The only uncertainty now is whether he will keep his promise.

As Hei Lin pondered, Cang couldn't sit still any longer. "Hei Lin, don't believe him. Do you think he'd be so kind as to let you go? Don't be naive!"

"Cang, you talk too much!"

After saying that, Yun Jie immediately attacked Cang. Once he had dealt with Cang, it wouldn't matter whether Hei Lin agreed or not.

boom!!

Yun Jie went all out from the start; he couldn't give Black Scale too much time to think, who knew what kind of trouble it might cause.

"Black Scales!!" Cang roared.

Yun Jie sent Cang flying with a single sword strike. "Cang, stop yelling. If it hands over control of the Long River to you, you can imagine what will happen to it. You can't let it go, but I can. It has no choice but to trust me now."

Black Scale had no choice from the beginning, because it could not win. It could either give its power to Cang, but if it did, it would be finished and it would never be able to leave the myriad realms in this lifetime.

Either take a gamble and choose to believe Yun Jie, believing that he will keep his promise and let you leave, even if you lose in the end, your fate will be no different from his giving the power to Cang.

Bang! !

Yun Jie struck out with his palm, instantly severely injuring Cang, causing half of its body to disappear.

"Cang, you shouldn't exist. As a spirit, you're not as pure as Qiong, which is why your master abandoned you. No one wants a spirit with selfish motives!"

"Perhaps it's because we've known each other for so long that the Lord of Time can't bear to kill you. If it were me, I would have wiped you out long ago!"

Cang roared, "Bullshit!! It was clearly him..."

Yun Jie interrupted it, "I know what you want to say, but you're really overthinking it. The River of Time is actually a sword reforged by the Lord of Time, and the sword spirit is Black Scale. You could have left, but you didn't seize the opportunity!"

"When the Lord of Time created the River of Time, not only did you not use your full strength, you also secretly concealed a portion of your power. How could the Lord of Time possibly want someone like you!"

"What you're thinking is nothing but your selfishness, your ambition, your unwillingness to become a sword spirit. Saying that the Lord of Time will lose you and destroy you is all just an excuse. You're just deceiving yourself!"

"No, no, no! You're talking nonsense! You don't know anything at all!"

Cang's emotions became extremely agitated, and his aura became slightly unstable.

Yun Jie's eyes lit up—a great opportunity!

"Break!"

Yun Jie seized the opportunity and severed the connection between Cang and the Book of the Long River with a single sword strike, though only temporarily.

"Destroy!"

After severing the connection between Cang and the Book of the Long River, Yun Jie once again slashed at Cang.

With a mighty sword strike, he pierced through heaven and earth, through the long river; a beam of light stretched for countless kilometers, its end unseen.

"what!!!"

Amidst the sword light, Cang Qi screamed shrilly, as if pierced by ten thousand swords, while its body grew increasingly ethereal.

It strained to look towards Black Scale, and with its last ounce of strength, roared, "Black Scale, you'll regret this! You'll definitely regret this!!"

Wow!

Cang is gone, gone forever.

Yun Jie smiled slightly, "One done."

Black Scale's expression changed drastically. Oh no!

With Cang gone, it means it no longer has any bargaining chips to negotiate with Yun Jie. Now, it can only gamble that Yun Jie will keep his promise.

However, Yun Jie's next words plunged it into the abyss.

Yun Jie laughed and said, "It seems you haven't thought this through. But it doesn't matter, Cang is dead, isn't he?"

Blackscale's heart skipped a beat. It unconsciously took a few steps back, then demanded, "Great Xuan King, are you going back on your word?!"

Yun Jie picked at his ear, surprised, and asked, "I changed my mind? What did I change my mind about?"

Black Scale cried out in despair, "You just said you would let me go!"

What is the most despairing thing in the world? Of course, it is when a person who is in despair suddenly sees hope and is about to grasp it, but then that hope suddenly turns into even deeper despair. Black Scale feels that this is what he is doing now.

Yun Jie still looked surprised. He said, "I did say that, but... you didn't agree. If you didn't agree, how can I go back on my word?"

Black Scale was stunned. It stared at Yun Jie with wide eyes. People can be shameless, but they can't be this shameless. What kind of talk is this? It didn't answer earlier, but it didn't hand over control of the Long River to Cang either!

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm in a hurry to get home for dinner."

Yun Jie waved his hand casually, "Anyway, you can't kill me, right? So, let's talk again when you're reborn next time."

Before he finished speaking, Yun Jie appeared in front of Hei Lin in a flash. In his right palm, a world faintly appeared, and with a bang, he slapped it onto Hei Lin's forehead.

The power of heaven and earth spread out, enveloping the black scales.

"Be obliterated! You'll be a hero again in eighteen years!"
