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

According to his estimation, if Qin Guang and his group ran to the Battlefield of the Heavens, they would definitely be able to find the teleportation array by following the battle traces they left behind.

As expected, the fighting ended a few hundred miles northeast of Tianjing City.

"It seems to be in this vicinity." Yun Jie looked around, channeling his willpower and senses. "Found it!"

Yun Jie stepped into the teleportation array, and a beam of light enveloped him. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot.

This teleportation was very similar to when Yun Jie teleported back to the ruins, only it took a little longer.

After a dizzying spin, darkness and light alternated before my eyes.

"Is this the Battlefield of the Heavens? The primordial energy is so abundant!"

When Yun Jie opened his eyes, his first impression was that the spiritual energy here was much richer than in the human realm!

Moreover, this place is very different from the human world. There is neither day nor night here; it is always a place where stars shine brightly.

There was no sun, but under the illumination of the stars, the battlefield of the heavens was as bright as day.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Jie's figure and face began to change, eventually transforming into an ape!

The Celestial Ape Clan is among the top 100 races in the myriad races of the heavens. Their physique is similar to that of humans, except that they have a lot of fur and a tail, making it easy for them to transform.

Humans are generally hated by everyone on the battlefield of the heavens, so Yun Jie's first thing to do was to hide his human identity and then act according to the situation.

He then began to wander aimlessly, choosing a direction and walking straight ahead.

As he walked, Yun Jie glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, then continued forward as if nothing had happened.

Perhaps tired from walking, Yun Jie found a large rock to sit on. As if by magic, a large gourd suddenly appeared in his hand. He uncorked it, and a fragrant aroma of wine wafted out.

The figure in the shadows closed his eyes, took a gentle sniff, and thought to himself, "So fragrant, such fine wine."

When he opened his eyes again, he exclaimed, "Where is everyone?!"

He looked around in a panic, when suddenly a hairy hand landed on his shoulder, and a voice rang in his ear, "Hey, friend, are you looking for me?"

Without thinking twice, he darted away in a flash.

"Why are you running away, friend of the Earth Spirit Clan? Weren't you following me from the beginning?"

The next second, Pan Tuling stopped, and his unpredictable expression immediately turned into a smile when he turned around. "Hehe, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. It just so happened that we were going the same way. Besides, I didn't follow you on purpose."

"Haha, I see. Since we're going the same way, let's go together from here, shall we?" Yun Jie didn't expose him. He was just looking for a "guide" anyway, and this was a perfect opportunity.

Moreover, the Heavenly Spirit Ape Clan, like the Five Elements Clan, is a neutral race, so it doesn't seem abrupt for him to say this.

Pan Tuling was taken aback. He clearly hadn't expected Yun Jie to say that. Logically speaking, if he encountered someone following him, he should either kill them or drive them away. Why would someone invite him to team up?

"Is this guy an idiot? No, I have to be careful. What if he's waiting for me to let my guard down?" Pan Tuling's heart was in turmoil, but he still agreed to Yun Jie's invitation. "Haha, let's keep each other company. It'll be safer if we go together."

Thus, the two people with ulterior motives joined forces.

After a conversation, Yun Jie learned that the person in front of him was named Pan Tu Ling.

Yun Jie then fabricated a pseudonym, Sun Dasheng.

"Brother Pantu, I have something to ask you."

Having almost completely trapped him, Yun Jie began to gather the information he wanted.

Pan Tuling had just finished tasting the "monkey wine" Yun Jie had given him and was in a good mood. "Ask away."

Yun Jie looked at his naive and unsophisticated appearance with disdain. The so-called "monkey wine" he took out was just a kind of fruit wine obtained from the sign-in system. He believed him just because he made up some nonsense about it being "monkey wine".

"Here's the thing, I recently left our realm and accidentally fell into a teleportation array. When I reappeared, I was here. I'm completely unfamiliar with this place, so could Brother Pantu tell me about the surroundings and what's been happening in this battlefield of the heavens lately?"

After saying that, Yun Jie poured Pan Tu Ling another cup of "monkey wine".

"Oh, so that's why you're here. Oh, it's a teleportation array. No wonder."

Pan Tu Ling couldn't help but believe Yun Jie's words, because the Heavenly Spirit Ape Realm was in the northwest of the Battlefield of the Heavens, and this place was more than 108,000 miles away from them. How could this Great Sage Sun have come here unharmed?

Thinking of this, Pan Tu Ling smiled and said, "We are currently located on the Desire Sea Plain in the eastern part of the Battlefield of the Heavens. This place is close to the Human Realm, while your realm is quite far from here!"

When Yun Jie heard about the Plains of Desire, his eyes lit up. He knew about the Plains of Desire!

Finally knowing where he was, Yun Jie conjured up a rough map of the battlefield of the heavens in his mind. The map was drawn by someone else in the original novel's fan community, and it looked quite decent.

The Plain of Desire, where Su Yu first started his battles in the myriad realms, was the Plain of Desire.

"Huh? I got here?"

Then, Yun Jie feigned surprise and asked, "Brother Pan Tu, what brings you here?"

"The human realm opened up not long ago, and I was planning to try my luck there, but I didn't expect to run into you as soon as I arrived."

"Oh? What good things could there be in this human realm?"

"Hehe, you don't understand. There are quite a few ruins in the human realm. They have relied on these ruins to survive each tide time and time again. I guess this time will be the same."

Pan Tu Ling looked smug and self-satisfied, as if he knew everything.

'Tch, you don't need to tell me, I've already run into one myself.' Yun Jie inwardly scoffed at him, then said, 'Is that so? Then should we team up and go together?'

Unexpectedly, Pan Tuling shook his head and refused, "No, we might not be able to find it even if we go, but I heard recently that some humans have come out of the human realm. They must have some ancient relics on them. Rather than searching for relics aimlessly, it's better to find them!"

"Many people have entered this place now, all searching for traces of humans."

Then, Pan Tuling patted Yun Jie on the shoulder, "How about we team up and split the profits equally?"

"Very good!"

Yun Jie readily agreed, but in reality, he was already plotting where to kill the Earth Spirit in front of him.

……

Yun Jie was figuring out where to kill Pan Tu Ling, since he dared to plot against the human race!

However, Yun Jie was worried that there might be people from the Hunter's Pavilion in the shadows, so he did not make a move immediately, lest he accidentally expose himself.

Although he still looked like a member of the Heavenly Spirit Ape Clan, it was better to keep a low profile. Yun Jie didn't intend to kill everyone on the battlefield of the heavens. If he were like Su Yu, he would expose himself in no time!

Yun Jie isn't that brave. As an excellent behind-the-scenes boss, he only needs to stir things up from behind the scenes!

Besides, the reward rules of the Battlefield of the Heavens are useless to him. He doesn't know how many people he would have to kill to get a reward, so why should he do something that is thankless and exhausting?

Just as Yun Jie was quietly releasing his willpower to explore the surroundings.

Pan Tuling was also secretly plotting and scheming. The reason he gave up going to the human realm to seek opportunities was not because there were human beings in the human realm who came to the battlefield of the heavens, but because of Yun Jie!

Pan Tuling guessed that the "Monkey King" in front of him had probably obtained some kind of opportunity. As for what he told him, that he had just happened to step on the teleportation array and was teleported here, Pan Tuling didn't believe a word of it.

Normally, teleportation arrays wouldn't send people that far away. After all, no one would be so foolish as to set up such a teleportation array just to send you from the west to the east, unless it's to send you into ruins and the exit of the ruins is here. That would explain why this "Monkey King" would come here.

So Pan Tu Ling began to plot to lure Yun Jie to his companions, then capture Yun Jie together and force him to hand over the treasure he obtained from the ruins!

The ability to teleport so far and leave behind relics on the battlefield of the heavens suggests that Pan Tu Ling must have been left by an invincible being. Even if he and his companions only share the spoils, the gains will still be enormous. Moreover, since he was the one who discovered and lured people there, he can take the lion's share!

Thinking of this, Pan Tuling unconsciously revealed a malicious smile, and Yun Jie looked at him strangely.

"Good grief, I was just about to make my move on you, and you're making it so obvious? Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Yun Jie found it amusing; they really were "like-minded"!

But that's fine too, because I won't feel guilty when I do it, since he was the one who made the first move.

That's right, it was Pan Tu Ling who made the first move; I was just retaliating.

In an instant, Yun Jie convinced himself, then continued to act innocent and naive, patting Pan Tu Ling on the shoulder, "Brother Pan Tu, what are you thinking about that's making you happy? Have you discovered the whereabouts of the human race?"

After saying that, Yun Jie stared blankly at Pan Tu Ling.

He had an expression that said, "I'm so stupid, you're trying to fool me."

Pan Tuling snapped out of his daze and quickly suppressed his smile. Then, seeing Yun Jie's silly expression, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, but on the surface, he pretended to be good buddies. He laughed and put his arm around Yun Jie's shoulder. "Right, my clansman just sent me a message saying that they have discovered traces of humans and told me to hurry over."

"Really?"

Yun Jie was "overjoyed" and seemed eager to make a move.

"Okay, let's go and meet up with my cousins."

Pan Tuling patted his chest and said confidently.

"But...isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, I am an outsider."

Yun Jie pretended to be interested but also hesitant, and Pan Tu Ling thought to himself, 'There's potential!'

He immediately assured Yun Jie that he would protect him in front of his clansman, and that if the hunt for humans yielded any results, he would share the spoils with him.

Upon hearing this, Yun Jie "happily" agreed.

"Hahaha, let's go! I'll lead the way!"

Pan Tu Ling was overjoyed. 'This idiot has taken the bait! Hehe.'

So he excitedly led the way, without considering whether Yun Jie was hiding his cultivation level.

In his view, everyone was a young person, proud and arrogant, and of course they wanted to show off their cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the more they wanted to do so. Why hide it?

Indeed, most people do have this mentality; the higher their cultivation level, the more they can show off, wishing they could be the focus of the world's attention, except for a few with ulterior motives, like Yun Jie...

Yun Jie followed silently behind Pan Tu Ling, occasionally passing him, looking happy, but also seemingly more anxious than Pan Tu Ling, as if he wished he could run ahead and lead the way.

'Fool!'

Pan Tu Ling chuckled to himself.

Suddenly, Yun Jie stopped in his tracks.

Pan Tuling slammed on the brakes, somewhat nervous. 'Has he seen through me? Is he going to back out?'

"What's wrong, Great Sage?"

Yun Jie glanced at him indifferently, "Are we going to the Ice and Snow Valley?"

"Yes? What's wrong? All the humans are there, including my clansmen."

Pan Tu Ling was puzzled. It was strange. He had just been very excited. How could he suddenly change his expression like that?

Sure enough, monkeys are fickle!

"Sigh, then I can't go there with you, there are too many people around!"
