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

Is this even possible?

"So what are you going to do now?" everyone asked, frowning.

Director Zhou spread his hands and said helplessly, "What else can we do? We can only take it one step at a time. Either we go all the way down this path, or we try to find a way to turn our physical body back. What else can we do?"

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed, realizing that Old Zhou was indeed left with only these two options.

White Moon City, City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the hall, everyone was somewhat silent. They looked at each other, but no one spoke.

As for Lao Zhou's matter, they only just found out. Before, it was hard to say whether physical transformation was good or bad, but now that the new path has appeared, everyone with eyes can see that the new path has a brighter future.

But now, there's a promising new path that Old Zhou can't build, which is a bit frustrating, Zhao Shuguang and the others thought to themselves.

However, Director Zhou was not so pessimistic. It was a pity that he could not build the new path, but it was also good that way. In this way, no one would compete with him for immortal materials.

Although immortal matter is hard to obtain now, hard to obtain does not mean it is not available. There are so many ruins, there will be a time when we can get immortal matter. When the time comes, Old Zhao and the others will not need it, and it will benefit us.

It's true that the new path has a brighter future, but the competition is fierce. As he continues to cultivate his golden body and his new martial arts, no one is competing with him for resources.

Therefore, he only felt regretful about not being able to cultivate the new path; he wouldn't say he was upset or remorseful.

After glancing at everyone, Director Zhou laughed and said, "Why are you all looking so worried? If I can't cultivate the new path, I'll just continue cultivating the golden body. It won't make much difference anyway. As for you guys, if you manage to get any immortal matter or anything, remember to share some with me, Old Zhou."

"Don't worry, I won't take your things for nothing. We'll exchange them for something of equal value later."

Looking at Lao Zhou's expression, Zhao Shuguang remained silent for a moment before asking, "Lao Zhou, are you serious?"

“Of course.” Director Zhou said quickly, “Now that you have all cultivated new paths, what will you do when you encounter immortal matter? You can’t absorb it, so you can’t just throw it away, right? Why not just give it to me? You see, this way I will have more resources, right? It’s a good deal.”

Director Zhou then expressed his thoughts one by one.

After thinking about it again, everyone realized that this made sense.

Moreover, although Lao Zhou's path is somewhat difficult, it's not a dead end. It's the martial path of Xinwu, a way to directly cultivate to the Emperor level. If he ever returns to Xinwu, Lao Zhou will be on the path to heaven.

With that in mind, the group stopped worrying and began discussing other issues.

"Should we next control the spread of the new coronavirus within the province?"

The news of the new path not only spread to other places, but also caused quite a stir in Silvermoon.

Zhao Shuguang shook his head: "No, other provinces haven't taken any action yet. If we try to control it, it might not be a good thing for us."

Hou Xiaochen nodded and said, "That's right. Everyone else is cultivating the new path, while we are suppressing it. As a result, our overall strength will be inferior to that of other provinces. I believe you all understand the principle that falling behind once leads to falling behind at every step."

"Besides, universal cultivation might not be a bad thing..."

Putting aside the distant future, once the whole nation cultivates, won't everyone's strength, stamina, and so on improve, making it easier and faster to do work?

Moreover, with cultivation, it's not so easy to starve to death.

Of course, this matter has both advantages and disadvantages, but overall, in the long run, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

After listening, everyone nodded repeatedly. Apart from a few martial artists, everyone else present understood Hou Xiaochen's words and agreed with his statement.

At this moment, Director Zhou smiled and said, "If we're going to play this game, let's play it big. We will not only not suppress the spread of the new doctrine, but we will also do our best to promote it. At that time, it will be much more convenient for recruitment and other things. What do you say?"

Everyone's eyes flickered, especially Huang Yu's, which resonated with him deeply. So, he was the first to speak up in agreement.

A large, dark-skinned man suddenly spoke up: "I don't object to this matter. I just want to say that Silver Moon's energy is far inferior to that of other provinces. Even if we promote cultivation among all citizens, I'm afraid... So, have you figured out how to solve this?"

At this point, everyone fell silent again. They had to admit that Kong Jie was right; the energy of the Silver Moon was indeed a troublesome problem.

For this reason, the number of superhuman proficiency in Silvermoon Province is far lower than in other provinces. Not to mention the central provinces, even any province in the northern continent has more superhumans than Silvermoon.

Because of their scarcity, and because Zhao Shuguang and his group deliberately concealed it, the ordinary people of Silver Moon in the original story still didn't know about superpowers even twenty years after the world was revived.

This time was different. Lan Tian hadn't forgotten Yin Yue, the province that Yun Jie had specifically mentioned. On the contrary, he gave it special attention. Not to mention anything else, he distributed more copies of the "Yuan Qiao Jue" manual than he had to other provinces.

Therefore, as things stand, most people in Silvermoon Province know about the new path, and gradually, news about superpower awakening has also spread.

······

Silver City.

Yincheng Ancient Courtyard.

Yuan Shuo stared at the cultivation manual in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, he said with extreme narcissism, "This person is a genius; his talent and aptitude are no less than mine!"

Of course, you could call him narcissistic, but in his opinion, he wasn't. He genuinely believed that the Five Animal Breathing Techniques he created were absolutely no less powerful than this book, "The Primordial Secrets."

However, Yuan Shuo also admired this Xuan Master. Not only did the other party create a new path, but he also generously spread the cultivation techniques throughout the world. From this point of view, he was inferior to the other party.

For him, the Five Animal Breathing Technique was his signature skill, which he would never easily pass on. At most, he would pass it on to his disciples. He had never considered making it public.

Revealing one's most secret techniques before having absolute strength and confidence is tantamount to courting death; Old Demon Yuan hasn't lived enough yet.

Yuan Shuo stared blankly at the "Yuanqiao Manual" in his hand for a long time before saying, "What gave you the courage to make this technique public and even spread it throughout the world..."

If Yun Jie were here, he would definitely tell him that it was his strength that gave him the courage.

Soon, Yuan Shuo smiled and said, "In terms of grand gestures and magnanimity, I am no match for you."

Yuan Shuo readily admitted this, saying that he was inferior, and while it was fine to be stubborn in front of outsiders, there was no need to put on such a show in front of himself.

However, Yuan Shuo was not discouraged. If the other party could create a technique like the "Yuanqiao Jue", he might as well do the same.

Next, Yuan Shuo began his seclusion, intending to combine the Five Animal Breathing Technique with the "Yuanqiao Jue" to create a more suitable cultivation method.

Yes, he saw it. The Yuanqiao Technique was just a basic technique. There was room for further development on top of it. Others might not be able to do it yet, but he believed he could!

······

the other side.

Within the Great Dao and the Universe.

Time and Stars could no longer contain themselves and were gradually approaching Yun Jie, though their speed was even faster than at the beginning.

Seeing its cautious manner, Yun Jie grinned. It was about to succeed.

Yun Jie wasn't surprised. How could Time Star resist such a concentrated power of time? It was still a child! Children are the easiest to fool... oops, the easiest to lure. Give it a piece of candy, and it will come running over happily.

Although Time Star didn't come running over eagerly, it couldn't move its feet once it sensed the power of time on Yun Jie's body.

From afar, Yun Jie threw a ball of time power toward Time Star.

The Time Star neither flinched nor avoided, allowing the ball of light to enter its body. The next second, the Time Star shone brightly, as if it had eaten a delicious snack.

Finally, it stopped hesitating and quickly approached Yun Jie, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Yun Jie was not stingy and threw out another ball of light, even larger than the previous one, which Time Star swallowed whole.

The next moment, Yun Jie's eyes flickered. Hmm, he felt that the aura of Time and Stars had become slightly stronger.

Yun Jie was certain that it wasn't his imagination; although it was very faint, Time and Stars had indeed become slightly stronger.

Seeing this, Yun Jie became even more excited, and another large ball of light floated towards the Time Star, with Yun Jie following suit.

Time Star was somewhat frightened, but it ultimately did not make a move. Soon, Yun Jie placed one hand on the surface of Time Star.

The moment he touched it, Yun Jie was momentarily dazed. He realized that the Time Star was the key to Li Hao becoming the Lord of Time. Without the Time Star, could Li Hao still become the Lord of Time? The answer was no.

I dare not speak for other things, but the power of time is probably unique in the entire universe.

Of course, this refers to the current universe, not the original universe of myriad races. In this universe, Li Hao has not yet obtained this Time Star, nor has he become the Lord of Time.

Since it's a parallel universe, Yun Jie isn't worried about disrupting the plot. From the moment he transmigrated here, he never intended to follow the storyline.

It doesn't matter if Li Hao loses the chance to become the Lord of Time; at worst, he can just create a world of myriad races.

However, even if it were to be established, that would be a long time from now.

······

Yun Jie stroked the Time Star, occasionally tossing out a ball of Time Power. After a while, he smiled and said, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Time and stars trembled slightly, as if nodding.

At this moment, Yun Jie finally revealed his true intentions, saying, "If you still want to eat, then follow me from now on."

Yun Jie has no immediate plans to take it into the Xuanhuang World; he'll raise it a bit longer and see how big it gets.

After hearing Yun Jie's words, Time Star seemed to understand, but it was unclear whether it understood or not. It shook up and down, then left and right, and Yun Jie couldn't figure out what it meant.

"So, when you're free, you can go play by yourself. When I call you, you have to come. Also, if you're craving something sweet, come find me. Understand?"

After thinking it over, Yun Jie decided to let it roam freely for a while longer, and then he would see how to deal with the star later.

Immediately afterwards, Time Star seemed to understand Yun Jie's words. It nuzzled against Yun Jie and then ran off into the distance, like a child who had just finished eating and started to run around happily again.

Yun Jie tried calling it a few times, and each time it obediently appeared in front of Yun Jie. For this, Yun Jie rewarded it with a few orbs of light.

Watching it disappear into the distance again, Yun Jie laughed and said, "Kidnapping successful!"

Then, Yun Jie looked at the many stars in the Great Dao Universe, and the next step was to gather them into a river.

However... Yun Jie is no longer interested in taking charge of any virtual or real universes; he suddenly had another idea.

What would happen if he incorporated the Great Dao Universe and the Silver Moon World into the Xuanhuang World?

Yun Jie's eyes flickered a few times, and the next second, he disappeared from the spot with his clone.

Inside the ruins of Fengyun Pavilion.

Yun Jie and his clone reappeared.

"How about it?"

Upon seeing Yun Jie, Su Yu and the others gathered around him.
