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

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these two years, Yun Jie made proper arrangements for the Xuan Turtle Clan and the six hundred people.

The eldest Xuan Turtle is kept in the pond of the Great Xuan King's Mansion, while the other Xuan Turtles are spreading throughout the Great Xuan Mansion and will gradually spread to the entire human realm in the future, although this process may take hundreds of years.

Subsequently, Yun Jie selected seventy Civilization Masters and thirty Warriors from the six hundred people and assigned them to teach at the academy. Thus, the Civilization Academy, one of the four major academies, finally began to enroll students.

As for the School of Internal Affairs and the School of Research, they started enrolling students several years ago. Although they didn't recruit many people, they have finally gotten on the right track.

Today is the day Yun Jie goes to the battlefield of the heavens to take up his post, accompanied by Jiang Yao, who has already emerged from seclusion.

The two arrived hand in hand at the battlefield of the heavens, where everyone else had already arrived.

"Haha, Lao Yun."

Upon seeing Yun Jie, Landlord Zhu rushed over and gave him a warm hug.

Yun Jie was helpless. This guy was completely unrecognizable from the grief he had shown a few years ago. As for why he was so grief-stricken, it was because his eldest son, Zhu Tianfang, had been bathed in the blood of gods and demons and had ultimately exploded and "died".

Not long after Zhu Tianfang "died," Zhu Diyuan appeared. Everyone speculated that this might be a smokescreen by Zhu the landlord, and that Zhu Diyuan was actually Zhu Tianfang.

However, this conjecture was vehemently denied by both Zhu the Landlord and Zhu Diyuan, but let's leave that aside for now.

Zhu the landlord glanced at Jiang Yao's belly, pulled Yun Jie aside, and whispered, "Old Yun, haven't you two had any luck all these years?"

"What's that noise?" Yun Jie was confused and didn't know what he was talking about.

“Doesn’t your Great Xuan Mansion plan to have an heir? You have no idea how busy I, the Great Ming King, am. I wish my son Zhu Diyuan would grow up quickly so that I could hand over the position of Mansion Lord to him.”

"You," Yun Jie chuckled, noticing that Old Zhu was even concerned about his descendants.

Suddenly.

"Wait, are you still after my daughter?" Yun Jie questioned Zhu the landlord, looking at him as if he were a thief.

Landlord Zhu asked suspiciously, "What daughter? Did you have one?"

"Oh, not yet, you're preparing to give birth."

"Tch, what did you say?"

Landlord Zhu glanced at Yun Jie with disdain, as if looking down on him.

Yun Jie: "..."

At this moment, Xia Wushen walked over and said, "Old Yun, Old Zhu, I'll head back now. Be careful."

"Go back, go back! Hurry up and go back and take care of your Xia Wudi. If you don't, he'll be beaten to death." Landlord Zhu waved his hand impatiently.

"What's going on?" Xia Wushen was completely bewildered. How could my son be beaten to death? Who dares to kill my son, Xia Wushen's son?

"What else could it be? Your son is incredibly arrogant in the Human Realm right now, constantly boasting that he'll conquer the Human Realm and become invincible. Countless people hate him to death," said Landlord Zhu through gritted teeth.

"Hahaha... I can't hold back anymore, Lao Xia, you don't know, your son has really messed up Lao Zhu's son. Now his son avoids your Wudi family. Lao Zhu feels ashamed."

Tang Tianzhong, who was standing to the side, burst into laughter and explained to Xia Wushen.

Yun Jie's lips curled up slightly as he said, "I heard that Old Zhu has dealt with Zhu Diyuan more than once for this matter, scolding him for being useless and not as good as his brother Zhu Tianfang."

Then Yun Jie turned to look at Zhu the Landlord and asked, "Is that true, Old Zhu?"

Landlord Zhu said in a serious tone, "Rumors! Pure rumors! My son and I have a very good relationship, how could I casually lay a hand on him?"

"Ha ha……"

Everyone smiled without saying a word; those who understood, understood.

Then Yun Jie looked at Xia Wushen and said, "Old Xia, you need to discipline your son properly. With his reckless behavior, he's likely to become a thorn in the side of the alien races. Don't let him die before you can."

Xia Wushen waved his hand dismissively and said, "Don't worry, he's not going to die so easily in the human realm. Besides, which of us didn't go through countless life-and-death experiences before we attained enlightenment? Being targeted by alien races might not be a bad thing. Only mediocre people would be afraid of being targeted by alien races."

"Pfft..." Landlord Zhu spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Hey, Lao Zhu, what's wrong?"

Xia Wushen looked completely bewildered.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Zhu the landlord said with an awkward smile, then acted as if nothing had happened and focused on the tea in his hand.

Only Yun Jie knew why he reacted that way just now. It was because Xia Wushen's words, "Only mediocre people are afraid of being targeted by foreign races," provoked Zhu Dizhu.

The reason he hid his eldest son, Zhu Tianfang, was because he was afraid that his prodigy son would be targeted by the alien race. That's why he faked his death to escape. He never expected that his "cautious" arrangement would be called mediocre by Xia Wushen. Therefore, the complexity of Zhu the landlord's heart can be imagined.

······

As the space shifted, Yun Jie arrived at the Great Xia Prefecture.

"Yes, this is it."

Yun Jie carefully examined the small town before him, his gaze finally settling on the two large characters on the city gate—Nan Yuan.

"Nanyuan, the place where it all began."

Yun Jie murmured, "In the blink of an eye, Su Yu's father, Su Long, has been born. So, the story is about to begin..."

Before they knew it, it was already the 306th year of the Anping calendar.

That year, Su Long was four years old.

Yun Jie, disguised as an ordinary middle-aged man, enters the legendary city of Nanyuan.

This was the fiefdom of King Wen in ancient times.

This is also Su Yu's hometown, the place where he set sail.

Yun Jie strode towards his destination.

Yun Jie had promised to become Su Yu's grandfather, so now he first has to become Su Long's adoptive father...

It is said that the older people get, the thicker their skin becomes. Yun Jie is already over four hundred years old. At his age, he could be Su Long's ancestor, but he wants to take him in as his son. I wonder how Su Long will feel when he finds out in the future.

Nanyuan Orphanage, Yun Jie's destination.

Upon entering the orphanage, Yun Jie saw a group of children playing, among them Su Long.

At that moment, a staff member from the orphanage approached with a smile and asked, "Are you Mr. Yun?"

Yun Jie nodded. "Yes, it's me."

"Haha, we've finally waited for you!" The staff member seemed very excited. Several days ago, he heard that an important person surnamed Yun would be coming in the next few days, so he would come to the entrance to loiter whenever he had nothing to do. As a result, he actually ran into him today.

"This way, please." The staff member politely led the way.

After glancing at Su Long, Yun Jie followed the staff to the orphanage director's office.

Buckle.

The staff member glanced at the door, and a deep voice came from inside, "Please come in."

The staff member pushed open the door and entered, then, as if seeking praise, said to the dean, "Dean, look who's here."

The dean looked up, his gaze instantly falling on Yun Jie, then turning to the staff member and asking, "Xiao Chen, who is this...?"

Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "Didn't the higher-ups say a few days ago that a big shot surnamed Yun was coming? Look, this is him."

The dean immediately stood up and scolded Xiao Chen: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Stop dawdling and serve the tea!"

The dean then walked up to Yun Jie and said cautiously, "Excuse me, could you please show me your identification?"

For safety reasons, the dean risked being reprimanded by asking Yun Jie to show identification documents that could prove his identity.

"Naturally."

Yun Jie smiled slightly and handed the dean the identification documents that he had had prepared in advance.

The dean glanced at it and returned it to Yun Jie. The information on the document matched the information given to him, which put his mind at ease.

"Excuse me, I apologize for the intrusion. Please have a seat."

"It's alright, it's always better to be careful."

After they were both seated, the dean asked, "Mr. Yun, may I ask what brings you here today...?"

"It's nothing, I just want to adopt someone." Yun Jie picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. Although the taste wasn't great, Yun Jie wasn't picky.

The dean clearly hadn't expected Yun Jie's purpose to be adoption.

"I wonder who was so lucky?"

Yun Jie didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Su Long."

The dean didn't ask why. If a nobody like him wanted to live a long life, he first had to control his curiosity. He turned to Xiao Chen and said, "Go and bring Su Long over quickly."

A short while later, Xiao Chen led Su Long to the dean's office.

Although Su Long was young at this time, he was already smart enough. He knew that he would not be called to the dean's office when there was nothing to do. If someone was called to the office, it was most likely that they had been adopted.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the door, Su Long's gaze unconsciously fell on Yun Jie. Yun Jie smiled slightly at him, and Su Long quickly turned his head away.

The dean smiled and beckoned to Su Long, "Su Long, come here."

"Grandpa Dean." Su Long obediently walked to the Dean's side.

The dean patted Su Long's head and said to Yun Jie, "We'll have to trouble you with Su Long from now on."

Then the dean turned to Su Long and said, "Little Su Long, this will be your adoptive father from now on. Quickly greet him."

Although he had already guessed, Su Long still found it hard to believe, his eyes wide open. "I was just adopted like this?"

Seeing him standing there in a daze, the dean patted his head and said, "What are you standing there for? Call someone! Do I have to teach you?"

"Oh, oh," Su Long came to his senses and then called out to Yun Jie, "Dad."

Well, how should I put it? It was incredibly natural, without the slightest awkwardness.

Yun Jie thought to himself, "They really are father and son. No wonder Su Yu kowtowed and called someone 'Grandpa' when he was only six years old, and he did it quite convincingly."

"Let's go."
