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

······

In the main hall of the imperial palace.

After listening to Lan Tian's suggestion, Su Yu's eyes flickered, his eyebrows rose, and he began to think carefully.

"To fill the four seas?"

Su Yu stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

At this moment, Wan Tiansheng, who was standing to the side, also gave his opinion. He said, "There is no need to fill it in completely. The sea still has a reason to exist. I think it is enough to just connect the four continents and the central continent."

"In addition, if possible, the four continents should also be interconnected. This way, it will be much more convenient to go anywhere in the future."

After speaking, Su Yu and Lan Tian nodded slightly. Wan Tiansheng's suggestion was very good. Putting everything else aside, it wouldn't be good to completely fill in the sea. The ocean still needs to be preserved. At least, the resources that the ocean nurtures are richer than those on the mainland.

If Yun Jie were here, he would definitely agree. Not only that, he would smile and say, 'Not bad, you've already learned to protect biodiversity and environmental diversity.'

After thinking for a while, Su Yu said seriously, "Then let's do as Prefect Wan said. Hmm, I'll put you in charge of this matter as well."

As he spoke, Su Yu looked at Wan Tiansheng, who remained calm. Since it was Su Yu who had brought it up, it was only natural that Su Yu would entrust the task to him. Besides, he knew that Su Yu was just trying to shirk his responsibilities, but... he was too lazy to say anything. In any case, someone had to do the work, and it would either be him or Lan Tian.

However, Lan Tian is already busy enough. If we push more things onto him, he'll probably protest. If Lan Tian goes on strike, things will get even more complicated.

Thinking of this, Wan Tiansheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. However, before we start reclaiming the sea, we still need to subdue all the provinces first, otherwise I won't be able to get started."

Su Yu agreed, "Yes, that makes sense. Let's wait until everything settles down before discussing it further. There's no rush."

After saying that, he looked up at the blue sky and asked, "Where is your clone? Has it arrived in Linjiang Province?"

Lan Tian replied, "Soon. The spaceship will soon arrive at the three northern provinces, and then we'll be at Linjiang Province. We'll definitely arrive in less than two hours."

"Okay." Su Yu nodded slightly.

Soon, they dispersed, each with their own tasks to complete.

Furthermore, the major provinces might not recognize their rule, and they would then need to travel to various places to suppress them.

Su Yu and his group's attitude was to act swiftly and decisively. Regardless of what others thought or whether any party was willing, they were determined to take over the dynasty, otherwise the world would inevitably be in turmoil.

At this very moment, some restless individuals have already begun to stir. They think that even if they can't become emperors, becoming a regional power would be fine too. At least, no one will be riding on their heads.

In the past, with the royal family and the Nine Departments keeping them in check, even if they had such intentions, they dared not make a big show of it and would at most prepare secretly in private.

The situation has changed drastically. The royal family and the Nine Departments no longer exist, and they don't recognize the newly emerged Su Yu and his group. Although they know that Su Yu and his group, who were able to destroy the royal family and the Nine Departments, must be very strong, everyone is still hoping for the best. Besides, the emperor is far away, and the emperor may not be able to control them.

And just like that, chaos erupted in all the provinces.

Fortunately, most of them remained rational, even if only temporarily. As long as Su Yu and his team were fast enough, everything would be fine.

······

On the other side, in Linjiang Province.

Wind Chime Town.

Yun Jie, leading dozens of elderly, weak, women and children, traveled for half a day and finally arrived.

"His Majesty King Daxuan."

Upon seeing Yun Jie, Lan Tian's clones immediately surrounded him to greet him.

Yun Jie glanced at them and said calmly, "Is everything ready?"

One of the blue-sky clones quickly said, "Yes, everything is ready."

Yun Jie nodded: "Then distribute them. Also, these people are yours to manage. I need to go to the Governor's Mansion in Linjiang now."

Blue Sky Clone: ​​"Okay, no problem. Leave this to us. We'll take care of everything."

Although Lan Tian is a bit... well, he's usually reliable when it comes to getting things done, so Yun Jie didn't say much.

Then, Yun Jie asked, "Where are they?"

Blue Sky's clone reacted instantly and replied, "We've already entered the territory of Beihai Province, we should arrive soon."

Yun Jie nodded and said, "Tell them they don't need to come here. Go directly to the Governor's Mansion in Linjiang, and we'll meet there."

"Okay, I understand."

Blue Sky Avatar had no objection to Yun Jie's arrangements. At the same time, Blue Sky Avatar, who was piloting the Flying Cloud Divine Ship across the North Sea, also learned of the news and knew that he was going to the Governor's Mansion of Linjiang.

"Bring me a map of the northern continent."

Lan Tian turned around and spoke to the people below.

Splash splash splash.

Soon, a map was placed on the table. Lan Tian adjusted the direction slightly according to the map. Originally, they were going to Fengling Town, but now they didn't need to. They could go directly to the Linjiang Governor's Mansion.

He then said to the others, “Get ready. Once we arrive in Linjiang, you must get to work quickly. No matter what, you must stabilize Linjiang Province first. Do you understand?”

"If you perform well, it's not impossible for you to stay in Linjiang and become a high-ranking official in the future. After all, this time, Linjiang will be thoroughly cleaned up from top to bottom, which will create more vacant positions. You can then compete for them yourself. What position you can hold will depend on your performance in the future."

Having brought them all the way from Tianxing City, Lantian didn't mind giving them a few pointers.

Although Tianxing City is a good place, there are only so many positions available, and if they go back, they might not get any good jobs. Therefore, it's better for them to stay in Linjiang.

The saying "Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix" still holds true.

After hearing what Lan Tian said, the twenty people below said in unison, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

After speaking, they fell silent, clearly considering Lan Tian's suggestion seriously.

After instructing Lan Tian to use his clone, Yun Jie immediately set off for the Governor's Mansion in Linjiang. This time, he was going to unleash a massacre!

······

······

at the same time.

Linjiang Governor's Mansion.

The Governor-General of Linjiang and others gathered together in the main hall. Basically, everyone who was considered important in Linjiang was there.

Hundreds of people sat around in the main hall, talking amongst themselves in a noisy, chaotic manner, much like a vegetable market on the street.

"enough!"

At this moment, the Governor-General of Linjiang, who was in the head seat, became furious. "All of you, shut up! Are you all going to start arguing?!"

The Governor-General of Linjiang was still very powerful in Linjiang, for no other reason than that he was the strongest, controlled the largest army, and had the support of many people in the area.

Or, to put it another way, those who opposed him were basically dead, and those who remained either submitted to him or remained neutral. Under his threat, Linjiang Province had become his personal fiefdom.

Incidentally, the reason why Linjiang Province is in such chaos is largely due to the efforts of Governor-General Linjiang. Yun Jie will definitely reward him handsomely, well, let's just say he'll be executed by slow slicing.

Yes, he should experience everything: the mountain of knives, tongue-pulling, and boiling oil.

Although this world has no underworld or reincarnation, and Yun Jie has no way to deal with it, the tortures of the eighteen levels of hell still exist. Perhaps they didn't exist before, but now that Yun Jie has arrived, they naturally exist as well.

A man like the Governor of Linjiang is not worth dying for, but we cannot let him die easily, otherwise we would be letting down the countless innocent souls in Linjiang.

······

back to the front.

The Governor of Linjiang shouted angrily, and the people in the hall fell silent instantly; for a moment, you could hear a pin drop.

The Governor-General of Linjiang glared with his large, bell-like eyes, scanning the crowd. Wherever his gaze fell, the people lowered their heads,不敢对视他 (不敢对视他 - this phrase is repeated in the original text).

Because someone once stared at him when he was angry, and that person's grave is now overgrown with weeds, everyone is terrified.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the Governor of Linjiang cursed and said, "No matter what, you must come up with a plan for me today. From this day forward, I will establish my own independent government!"

"Today, I am the King of Linjiang!"

The Governor-General of Linjiang raised his arm and shouted, his expression extremely excited.

With the royal family and the Nine Departments gone, what is there to fear? First, deal with Linjiang, then see how things go and whether we can take over the surrounding provinces.

Of course, he couldn't handle the three northern provinces; he was no match for Kou Shiming.

In the Northern Continent today, if we're talking about who has the strongest power, it's definitely Kou Shiming. After all, he controls the three northern provinces, while most others only have one province, or even none at all.

There are differing opinions within the province, and without the absolute strength to subdue everyone, it's not so easy to take over a province.

However, the Governor-General of Linjiang had already taken the lead, with Linjiang Province already headed by him. On the other hand, in Yinyue Province, Zhao Shuguang, Hou Xiaochen, Huang Yu, and Kong Jie were cooperating with each other but also restraining one another. It was impossible for them to choose a leader.

The four of them can cooperate with each other, but they will never submit to any one of them.

However, with them around, their plans in Linjiang are doomed to fail. Silver Moon Province is not as simple as they think, and it's uncertain who will take it over in the end.

No sooner had the Governor of Linjiang finished speaking than someone said, "Governor, you absolutely mustn't! Everyone is waiting to see how things develop. If you're the first to jump out, you'll easily become the target. In that case, Linjiang could very well become the target of everyone's attacks. If the surrounding provinces unite against us, we'll be in big trouble!"

"Yes, yes, please think it over carefully, Governor."

Some people hurriedly tried to dissuade the Governor-General of Linjiang from his haste, but for every person who advised him, there was someone who agreed.

The next moment, several people jumped out and loudly accused those who had tried to dissuade the Governor-General of Linjiang.

"Don't spread alarmist rumors! It's completely impossible for us to be the target of everyone's attacks! The surrounding provinces are barely able to take care of themselves, so how could they possibly come after us!"

"That's right. I guess they're busy fighting for power right now. They certainly can't deal with us. The only one we should pay attention to is the three northern provinces. The others are nothing to worry about!"

"I think we should take over the surrounding provinces before they can react. Then, even if the three northern provinces want to deal with us, we won't be afraid. On the contrary, the three northern provinces will probably be afraid of us!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we have a great advantage now. Other provinces are still in internal strife. Now, our opportunity has come. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to take over a few provinces first. Then we can dominate the north, be able to attack or defend as we please. When the time is right, we can sweep across the world."

"Hahaha……"

Above, the Governor of Linjiang laughed loudly. He said, "Not bad, not bad, these words resonate with me! In that case, I will entrust this matter to you. I order you to prepare everything within three days. After three days, the troops will be divided into three groups. I will be in charge of the Silver Moon Province. As for the other two groups, you can discuss them yourselves and just report the results to me."

"So? Does anyone have any objections? Feel free to voice them, I'm listening, haha."

The Governor-General of Linjiang said with a smile.

After a long silence, no one responded. Everyone knew that the other party was a wolf in sheep's clothing; he had already made his decision, and if you objected again, you were as good as dead!

Those who lacked foresight are already dead. Now, these people are all as shrewd as monkeys. Since the Governor of Linjiang has made a decision, they certainly cannot raise any objections, otherwise they will soon become corpses and be carried out.

The Governor-General of Linjiang looked at them with satisfaction and said, "Very good, not bad. Since no one has any objections, then go and make the preparations."

"Rest assured, everyone. Once we capture the three major provinces of Silvermoon, I will reward you handsomely!"

"Thank you, Commander! We will do our utmost to serve you, even unto death!"
