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

161, 162, 163, 164...

boom……

The bookshelves and shattered runes of will that were flying above Yun Jie's head exploded instantly.

Yun Jie slowly opened his eyes, and a divine light suddenly appeared. The ancient palace was pierced by his burning gaze, leaving two holes through which the light from outside shone.

Yun Jie let out a long sigh of relief, "This trip was incredibly profitable!"

Yun Jie got up, shook off the dust, and searched the palace again to see if there were any other good things.

To Yun Jie's disappointment, he had already taken most of the items, leaving only the Tianyuan Fruit Tree outside.

After thinking it over, Yun Jie decided not to dig it up, but to leave it there. He figured he would come back to this relic eventually anyway. However, Yun Jie did not let go of the ripe Tianyuan Fruit on the tree.

"Only twenty-two..."

Yun Jie was somewhat disgusted. This ruin must be at least several thousand years old, yet there were so few Heavenly Origin Fruits. It must be due to a lack of Heavenly Origin Qi, or something else entirely.

Yun Jie suddenly realized that although he was on the path of a Civilization Master, he really didn't understand research. Firstly, he had no teacher to guide him, and secondly, he hadn't studied it himself, focusing only on improving his cultivation.

"I am a pseudo-civilization master!"

Yun Jie made a self-deprecating remark.

PS:

I'm so tired. I'll see if I can finish the next chapter by midnight. If not, I'll finish it at noon!

Also, I changed my status today, is there any big shot who can give me a reward?

The author is about to run out of money to eat!

Chapter 25 has been exposed! [Please donate! Please add to your favorites!]

After confirming that nothing had been missed, Yun Jie was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, his expression changed slightly, and he looked rather displeased.

He suddenly remembered that these ruins of the Tenth Tide were opened by the Great Zhou King and Xia Chen, right?

Then it was the two of them who made the allocation.

"Wait, has I already been noticed? Who could it be? The Great Zhou King or Xia Chen?"

Yun Jie never uttered the Great Zhou King's real name. He was a top-tier Dao Integration cultivator, and who knew if mentioning him would elicit a response? In any case, he wasn't the Great Zhou King yet, so it was fine for Yun Jie to mention the Great Zhou King normally.

Xia Chen didn't worry Yun Jie too much. He was destined to die young, and his cultivation was far inferior to that old schemer, the Great Zhou King!

At this moment, Yun Jie's expression was somewhat gloomy and uncertain. He was unsure whether he had been noticed by the Great Zhou King or Xia Chen. If it was the former, then he was in trouble!

With the shrewd eyes of the Great Zhou King, his cultivation of the Warrior's Path was impossible to hide; there was no way to conceal it.

The Civilization Master might have been able to keep it a secret, but two days ago, he used divine runes to cut open space. If that had been seen, he definitely wouldn't have been able to hide it anymore!

His cultivation level at the Sky Soaring Realm was on full display at that moment, and the divine script he used was a fourth-order divine script, which corresponds to the Mountain and Sea Realm!

"Oh no, if that old fox King Zhou finds out, will he push me into the limelight and put me on the throne?!"

At that moment, Yun Jie felt like dying. Cough cough, of course, he couldn't possibly die; he was just saying it.

How could I be so careless?

I deeply regret it!

I get so anxious when I come across ruins! I didn't even think about this at the time!

Otherwise, he would have to make it seem like he was going through a lot of hardship, make it seem like it was difficult, add a little bit of "coincidence," and then he would "accidentally" fall into the ruins.

At the very least, one's cultivation as a Civilization Master cannot be exposed. Ideally, no one should know that one has cultivated the Path of Civilization Master, and that it is even one's main path!

"Ugh!"

Now that things have come to this, Yun Jie knows that no matter how much he regrets it, it will be of no use. He can only learn from his mistakes and be more cautious in everything he does in the future. Once his cultivation level is high enough, he won't need to be so guarded. At that time, he can pretend however he wants, and no one will be able to tell the difference.

……

Unlike when entering the ruins, when leaving the ruins, as long as the core of the ruins is refined in advance, one can freely enter and exit them in the future, and can also hide them.

Eternal Ruins – that's the name Yun Jie gave to this ruin. Yun Jie knew he was terrible at naming things, so he simply used the "Eternal Scripture" as a reference. It was simple, easy, and perfect!

Yun Jie silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, but on the surface, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He still maintained the image of a refined scholar in white robes!

After leaving the ruins, Yun Jie didn't look around. With his cultivation level, he couldn't possibly find the hidden Great Zhou King or Xia Chen. On the contrary, it would arouse their suspicion. Both of them were Civilization Masters, and even the slightest clue would arouse their suspicion!

Although he couldn't find their whereabouts, Yun Jie's sixth sense told him that someone was watching him!

Therefore, Yun Jie pretended that he knew nothing and just acted excited!

It's like an ordinary person suddenly finding tens of thousands of dollars; their expression is incredibly exaggerated.

Hidden deep in the sky, Xia Chen watched Yun Jie's performance with amusement in his eyes. He stroked his small mustache and said with a smile, "No matter how talented you are, Yun Jie, encountering such a great opportunity that I have arranged for you will make you so excited that you lose your bearings!"

Xia Chen guessed that Yun Jie had never seen so many resources in his life, and he was probably terrified when he was inside!

Actually, he was also stunned when he saw Yun Jie's performance a couple of days ago. How long has it been?

This kid's willpower has reached the sky!

And if I'm not mistaken, his "sword" divine script should have reached the fourth level, right?

Where did these demons and monsters come from?

"But this kid is really something! In just two days, he has already opened the last Yuan Aperture, and now he has gone directly from the Thousand Jun Ninth Level to the Ten Thousand Stone Ninth Level! Is there such a benefit to opening all the Yuan Apertures?"

Xia Chen secretly wondered what secrets lay behind fully opening all 360 primordial apertures, because he himself had never opened so many.

Moreover, Yun Jie had completely suppressed his aura after breaking through, so at this moment Xia Chen only knew that Yun Jie had opened all his Yuan Apertures, and did not know that Yun Jie, who was at the ninth level of the Ten Thousand Stones Realm, was already comparable to an ordinary person at the early stage of the Lingyun Realm!

Although it is only compared to the Way of the Warriors, it is still remarkable!

"It seems this kid has other secrets...but..."

"Well, he's human after all. Once he grows up, he might become the ruler of this generation. I doubt he'll keep this secret from him then..."

"Never mind, there's no need to pay too much attention to him. No matter how monstrous he is, he's useless until he grows up. I have more important things to do than him!"

Some time ago, Xia Chen discovered that a powerful alien expert had infiltrated the human realm and had been lingering near Nan Yuan, seemingly intending to take over the Wen Tomb!

I have to deal with him myself!

As a descendant of Marquis Wen, I will never allow anyone to covet the Wen Tomb!

And I also have to go back and keep an eye on that kid Xia Wushen!

At this time, Xia Chen had already disguised himself as Xia Wushen, who was the cousin of the Great Xia King, and had been staying by his side.

Thinking of this, Xia Chen glanced at Yun Jie again before turning and leaving.

In his view, he had already given Yun Jie the resources he was supposed to give, and now it was up to Yun Jie himself. Whether he was a dragon or a worm would be revealed in the future!

Below, Yun Jie had no idea that it was not the Great Zhou King who discovered him, but Xia Chen!

Xia Chen had already left, and he was unaware of it. He was still acting down there, pretending to be overjoyed at his windfall and then acting cautiously.

As Yun Jie hurried toward the gathering place of Guangyun, he remained vigilant and cautious, glancing around frequently. He was determined to keep up the act and not give up halfway.

Gradually, Yun Jie noticed that the faint feeling of being watched had disappeared!

"Have they left?"

Yun Jie thought to himself, but out of caution, who knew if the person in the shadows was deliberately testing him? So Yun Jie continued to perform along the way until the gathering place of Guangyun came into view, at which point he relaxed.

If this were in his previous life, with his acting skills just now, it's no exaggeration to say that he would have easily won an "Oscar"!

I am Yun Jie! The Best Actor!

Chapter 26 Reunion, Testing the Waters [Requesting votes! Requesting rewards!]

"Lord Yun, you're back!"

Outside the gathering place, on a makeshift wall, several soldiers with smiles on their faces warmly greeted Yun Jie and took good care of him.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work!" Yun Jie nodded slightly in response. Finally, Yun Jie asked again, "You all seem very happy. Is there some good news?"

Yun Jie keenly noticed that their condition was different from when he left a few days ago; they seemed to be more energetic and spirited.

"Oh, sir, don't you know?"

Several soldiers were quite surprised, as if Yun Jie should have known.

"Oh, I had to go out for a couple of days and I wasn't at the gathering place."

Yun Jie responded with a smile that he had kept it a secret when he left because he didn't want the people in the community to be worried about him. Now that he was back, there was no need to hide it anymore.

The soldiers suddenly realized why Lord Yun didn't know what had happened; he had gone out.

One of the soldiers said, "I see."

Then, he excitedly added, "Just two days ago, Lord Qin returned!"

In fact, for most people, Qin Guang was their leader. After all, it was Qin Guang who rescued them from prison. Although they knew that Yun Jie had dealt with the alien race, they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes.

There is a big difference between what you see with your own eyes and what you hear!

Yun Jie didn't care about or care about these things. Anyway, he didn't intend to be a leader. It would be best if Qin Guang could come out and take the lead.

That being said, more than a year ago, after Qin Guang single-handedly stopped three alien races and forced them to retreat, they all believed that Qin Guang had perished and was likely dead.

Although Yun Jie kept insisting that Qin Guang would definitely be alright and would definitely come back, no one else believed it. After all, it had been more than a year since he was last seen. They guessed that he was either dead or alive!
