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

"Alright, now, everyone can disperse."

"Su Long, remember to make a trip to the Wu family and the Emperor's place later. It's your son's wedding anyway, so you can handle it as you see fit," Yun Jie instructed as a final reminder.

Su Long and his son exchanged a glance, speechless. What was going on?

That's all for today. Next up is Star Gate; I need to think about it.

Chapter 596 Explanation and Departure [Seeking monthly votes! Seeking full subscription!]

······

Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

July 9th, Year 2 of the New Era.

This day is both Su Yu's birthday and his wedding day. Today, he will marry Xingyue, the younger sister of the Human Emperor, and Wu Lan, the daughter of the Wu family, at the Yu Huang Mansion.

A dragon paired with two phoenixes—it's truly a beautiful story.

Of course, this might be true for others, but for the Emperor himself, it was a little unpleasant.

It's one thing for my little sister, whom I've raised and loved for so long, to get married, but that bastard Su Yu actually married two of them at once!

This is absolutely outrageous!

He, the mighty Human Emperor, now the second strongest in all the heavens, is still single, while Su Yu marries two at once. What makes him so special?

Is it because he won the hearts of two women, because he is the new emperor of the human race, or because he has a good grandfather?

Thinking about it, that makes sense.

In short, the Emperor felt a little sour inside, but he kept a straight face.

Although he was happy for Xingyue, he couldn't be too magnanimous. If he wasn't a little fierce, what if Su Yu bullied Xingyue in the future?

······

Today, the Yuhuang Mansion was practically a sea of ​​red, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere. Every household had large red double happiness symbols pasted on their doors and windows, and big red lanterns hung at their entrances, as if they were celebrating a happy occasion.

These were all spontaneous actions taken by them upon learning of Su Yu's wedding.

Of course, they also benefited from Su Yu's wedding. Neither the Yun family nor the Su family was stingy. Every household in the Yuhuang Mansion received a large red envelope, which made their enthusiasm extremely high.

Even now, their faces are still beaming with smiles, which makes people from other places extremely envious. Why didn't they choose to move into the Yuhuang Mansion back then? It's too late for regrets now.

at the same time.

Streaks of light flashed across the sky from time to time, and powerful figures from all sides arrived one after another. They did not fly directly into the mansion, but stopped outside the gate and walked in.

The backyard of the mansion.

Yun Jie sat opposite the Human Emperor, King Wen, the Lord of the Sky, the Lord of the Dead, and others, leisurely sipping tea.

Yun Jie glanced at the Human Emperor and asked with amusement, "Brother Xingyu, why do you always have such a stern face?"

"Haha, is that even a question?" King Wu laughed heartily from the side.

The Emperor glared at him and said irritably, "Yun Jie is just asking a question he already knows the answer to. Can't you see that? You brute!"

Yun Jie smirked and said, "Speaking of which, Brother Xingyu, you're not getting any younger. Don't you plan to leave a bloodline for your Xing family? Such good genes can't be wasted."

The Emperor said speechlessly, "Have you become addicted to urging people to get married lately? It's not enough to urge your son, daughter, and grandson, now you even have to urge me? Why don't you urge the rest of us here too? I'm not the only one who's been single for ages."

Unexpectedly, Yun Jie's eyes lit up, and he agreed, "That makes sense!"

He turned to look at King Wen and said, “King Wen, you too. I think the Southern King is quite good. Even after she died, she still missed you. Although she wasn’t a pure human, the difference between the Celestial Race and the Human Race is not that great, so it doesn’t affect the bloodline.”

The Southern King is not a human, but a Celestial. The Celestials are a branch of the human race and are most similar to humans. It wouldn't be wrong to call them humans, except that the Celestials are born with nine orifices open, unlike humans who open them one by one slowly.

After Yun Jie finished speaking, King Wen's face fell; he had no desire to get married.

Before King Wen could speak, Yun Jie turned to look at someone else. His gaze did not linger on King Wu. King Wu was the kind of person who didn't need to be pressured to get married.

Then there's the Lord of the Sky... never mind, he's just a sword, why should we get married?

Lord of the Dead, hmm, that old thing is always so lifeless, better not to push that girl into the fire pit, let's skip that.

Wen Yu... well, never mind that. I don't know why, but I always feel like the way she looks at me is weird, like... I don't dare to think about it.

Yun Jie's eyes swept over them one by one. To be honest, there were indeed people who were single for life, but not that many. Moreover, some of them were simply not suitable for being urged to get married. For a moment, Yun Jie didn't know who to urge.

Let's focus our attention on the Emperor and King Wen.

······

The group didn't chat for long before heading to the front hall.

The two brides have been received. The next steps are the wedding ceremony and the tea ceremony, followed by entering the bridal chamber.

Soon, Yun Jie drank the tea served by Su Yu, Xing Yue, and Wu Lan. Looking at the three newcomers in front of him, Yun Jie nodded repeatedly. Although it was a little later than expected, the result was the same.

Su Yu finally got married; he didn't just have one wife, he had two.

From this perspective, Su Yu is stronger than him, Su Long, and Yun Chen.

"Yun Chen, Yun Ying, do you see that? You two are next!"

"A month has passed now, have you found someone you like? You don't have much time left."

Yunying chuckled awkwardly and said, "Dad, what are you saying? I can live for another 100,000 years, how can you say I don't have much time left?"

Yun Jie glared at her. "Is that what I meant? Don't give me that! But today is your nephew's big day, so I'll let you two off the hook for now."

In an instant, Yun Chen and Yun Ying felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and they both breathed a sigh of relief before quickly 'escaping' from Yun Jie's side.

Yun Jie has been pressuring them to get married lately, to the point that they're almost suffocating.

Jiang Yao, standing nearby, said, "Actually, you don't need to push them so hard. There's still plenty of time. Let them take their time and talk things over."

Yun Jie shook his head. "That's not how it works. Look at their peers. Which one of them hasn't started a family and established a career? They don't even have sons, they've already had great-grandchildren. They're over two hundred years old, they're definitely not young anymore."

"If I don't push them a little harder, I estimate they won't be married even after 100,000 years."

Jiang Yao thought for a moment and nodded thoughtfully, saying, "That makes sense."

After attending Su Yu's wedding, Yun Jie went nowhere else but returned to the Great Xuan King's Mansion.

······

Leisurely time flies by; in the blink of an eye, eleven months have passed.

Today is the final deadline Yun Jie has given to Yun Chen and Yun Ying.

Yun Jie looked at the two of them and asked, "It's time, where are they?"

“Dad, a year is too short. How about you extend the period? It doesn’t need to be too long, how about a hundred years? By then, I’ll bring you back not only your daughter-in-law, but also your grandson!” Yun Chen said confidently.

"Yes, yes, let's extend the deadline. A hundred years isn't too long, it's just right."

Yun Ying, who was standing to the side, echoed in agreement.

Yun Jie rubbed his head; he knew this would happen.

"Fuck off!"

In the end, Yun Jie could only wave them away, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.

"Order!"

Yun Chen and Yun Ying exchanged a glance, looking very happy. Soon, the two of them disappeared without a trace.

Watching the two siblings walk further and further away, Yun Jie sighed, "Alas, I originally hoped to see you get married before I left, but now it seems unlikely."

Yun Jie didn't know how much longer he would stay, but it probably wouldn't be long.

The reason he hasn't left yet is to spend more time with his family. Chaos is so vast; once he leaves, who knows when they'll meet again?

Yes, Yun Jie doesn't plan to bring anyone along, including Jiang Yao.

I might bring her in the future, but definitely not the first time. The first time we leave, everything is unknown. Even Yun Jie can't guarantee his own safety, so how can he bring Jiang Yao with him?

Unless Yun Jie can guarantee that he will remain among the strong after leaving the chaos of the myriad realms and going to the outside world.

Although Yun Jie didn't think he would become weak if he went out, you never know, so he couldn't take anyone with him on an adventure.

······

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, fifty years have passed since Su Yu's wedding. For a full fifty years, Yun Jie has not left the Hou Da Xuan Mansion.

That day, Yun Jie looked up at the azure sky and said calmly, "Fifty years have passed. It's time to leave."

That evening, Yunjie gathered his family together, intending to have one last reunion dinner before leaving.

The dinner table.

Yun Jie, Jiang Yao, Yun Chen, Yun Ying, Su Long, Lin Xuan, Su Yu, Xing Yue, Wu Lan—the whole family was there.

Su Long asked curiously, "What day is it today? Why..."

Jiang Yao remained silent for a while because Yun Jie had told her a long time ago that he was about to leave, so she was not in a good mood.

Yun Jie looked at her, then at the others, and smiled, "Eat first, we'll talk after we finish."

Suddenly, Yun Ying slammed her hand on the table and angrily said, "Dad, did you bully Mom? And are you planning to remarry?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yun Jie in shock.

Yun Jie was stunned, but he quickly recovered and shouted, "Yun Ying, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Yun Ying grumbled, "I'm talking nonsense? Then tell me, why has Wen Yu been coming to our house so frequently all these years? Who is she doing this for?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed, "Oh no, something's up!"

They stared intently at Yun Jie, eager to see how he would explain.

Yun Jie was speechless: "If she wants to come, I can't stop her. Besides, your mother is always there when she comes. There's really nothing between us. I've told her many times not to come anymore, but she won't listen. What can I do?"
