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

"Hahaha, it seems like I have a great chance of winning! I've finally saved up enough resources to break through to the Sun Moon Realm!"

Some people are already dreaming of the moment when they break through the sun and moon, as if the war between the human race and the gods and demons is already a foregone conclusion.

"What's the situation now? To fight or to retreat?"

The Chaotic God King transmitted his voice to the Demon King Xu, saying that since the Demon Clan was the one who started this coercion of the human race, it was understandable for the Chaotic God King to ask for the Demon King Xu's opinion.

The Demon King's eyes shifted. Although he had only intended to try this mission, he hadn't expected the human race to be so firm and resolute.

This put him in a dilemma. Although the gods, dragons, phoenixes and other races seemed to support the demon race, they would definitely run away if faced with a life-or-death crisis. He would do the same if he were in the demon race. They were not of one mind to begin with.

If we can't weaken the human race, weakening the demon race wouldn't be bad either; it's about the same.

Therefore, even when the Chaos God King asked for his opinion, the Demon King Xu did not reply. He was considering the probability of the other races deserting in the face of battle. It would have been better if he hadn't thought about it carefully, but upon closer examination, he realized that the probability of them running away was far greater than the probability of them fighting to the death.

Therefore, the Demon King Xu decided to retreat!

We have no choice but to retreat. Five invincible demons have already fallen in succession. If this continues, everyone will be wiped out!

If everyone suffered losses together, that would be fine, but the problem is that the demons have suffered the most deaths. So far, only one member of the gods and the dragons have perished, and none of the other races have lost a single one.

Then think about the Immortal Clan...

The Demon King Xu immediately realized that his idea was correct; it was not advisable to start a war with the human race for the time being, at least not with his demon race leading the charge!

······

After weighing the pros and cons, the Demon King Xu made a firm decision: no more invincible beings could fall before the Demon Emperor awoke.

"withdraw!"

After speaking, the Demon King Xu led the other nine invincible demons away, leaving the Chaos God King and the others bewildered in the wind.

They clearly hadn't expected the demons to retreat so decisively, completely lacking the initial menacing aura they had displayed.

The invincible gazes of the four races—God, Dragon, Underworld, and Heavenly Abyss—crossed in the void, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

Although they did intend to retreat if the situation was unfavorable or the battle was at a stalemate, these were unspoken rules that no one had mentioned to the demons.

This clearly shows that the Demon King Xu suddenly realized everything in the face of the human race's tough stance, which is why he withdrew so decisively.

However, since things had come to this, they had no choice but to retreat with the demons. They would never do something so foolish as to fight to the death with the humans.

The demon race was particularly unlucky, losing five invincible warriors in succession, which caused the Demon King Xu and others to become quite agitated.

Before leaving, the Chaos God King gave the invincible human a deep look. Although it was very faint, he had indeed sensed that someone was tempted by the Demon King Xu's proposal, but did not show it, or rather, dared not show it.

Indeed, not only the Chaos God King sensed it, but many people present could also feel it, including Qin Guang, Yun Jie, and the other four. When the Demon King Xu said, "Handing over Yue Li and Li Hao can exchange for fifty years of peace for the human race," some people within the human race were tempted, became confused, and wavered!

However, "they" were rather secretive. Apart from Yun Jie and Zhou Tianqi, even Qin Guang couldn't figure out who they were, or rather, who they were.

Meanwhile, due to the presence of the alien race, the five people said nothing and pretended not to know anything.

Therefore, before leaving, the Chaotic God King left a message: "Anyone who agrees to hand over Yue Li and Li Hao in exchange for fifty years of peace for the human race can contact us privately. We welcome them anytime. Of course, if you think fifty years is too short, a hundred years is also negotiable, hahaha..."

······

After the five major clans left, the Eastern Rift Valley fell into an eerie silence. The secret that Qin Guang and his group had deliberately concealed was directly exposed by the Chaos God King. No one present was a fool; with a little thought, they understood why the Chaos God King had left those words before leaving.

Someone's probably interested!

Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

After a long silence, Qin Guang broke the silence and said coldly, "I know that someone was moved by what the alien race said earlier, and thought that exchanging two people for fifty years of peace for the human race was a very worthwhile thing."

"But have you considered that today they asked us to hand over Yue Li and Li Hao, and they also kept their promise, giving the human race fifty years of peace?"

"But then what? Will they ask me to hand over two of you again tomorrow? How many invincible beings can the human race hand over each time they have to give up two?"

"When humanity's invincibility diminishes to a certain extent, will they still resort to this slow, insidious approach? Can we truly place our hopes on other races and trust that they will keep their promises?"

"The human race can only rely on itself now. Don't think about exchanging the lives of your fellow human beings for peace. Even if they asked us to hand over two Invincible Realm experts today, or even two Opening Yuan Realm experts, I would not hand them over!"

Xia Wushen cleaved the air with his sword, instantly splitting a distant mountain in two. He roared, "My attitude is the same. From now on, if anyone dares to propose exchanging compatriots for peace, I will chop them in half with one stroke! Just like that mountain!"

Landlord Zhu quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Old Xia, don't get too agitated. We're all brothers who've been through thick and thin together. How could anyone have such thoughts? It must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. This is just some provocation from the foreign race. Don't you think so?"

Zhu the landlord gave the others a wink, and they all realized what was going on and said, "Yes, yes! The aliens are just trying to sow discord among us. They want to cause internal strife, so don't fall for their trick."

Xia Wushen snorted coldly and said nothing more, slowly putting the drawn sword back into its sheath.

Qin Guang glanced at everyone and softened his tone, "That's good. We're all brothers, and I don't want us to be fighting each other in the future, much less have to take action to clean house."

After saying this, Qin Guang closed his eyes and remained silent, ignoring the reactions of the crowd.

Zhou Tianqi and Yun Jie remained silent throughout. They both knew who they were attracted to at the time, but they simply didn't say it aloud.

After all, being interested doesn't mean taking action. Saying it out loud will only create resentment among people, so it's better to pretend you don't know anything.

Perhaps this attraction was only temporary, and the two were still willing to give them a chance to change their ways.

"We're gone, it was a false alarm."

Now that the alien races had dispersed, there was no need to leave too many people on the battlefield of the heavens. Landlord Zhu was still thinking about his eldest son at home, so he called Yun Jie and Zhou Tianqi to leave together.

“Okay,” Yun Jie nodded, then looked at Yue Li and Li Hao, “You two can come too.”

Yue Li didn't react, but Li Hao was a little excited. This might be an opportunity for him to curry favor with a powerful figure. This time, he was really scared, afraid that Qin Guang might accidentally agree to the demon race's conditions. Fortunately, the five giants of the human race were all strong-willed and directly retorted to the alien race's provocation.

After saying goodbye to Qin Guang and Xia Wushen, the group returned directly to the human realm.

Before long, all twenty-odd invincible warriors who had come to provide support returned to the human realm. However, compared to when they arrived, some of them were still unable to calm down...

Meanwhile, Yun Jie and his companions didn't mention what had just happened. Instead, they chatted about other things, such as when Landlord Zhu kept asking Yun Jie when he planned to have a child with Jiang Yao, and if it was a girl, whether he could arrange a marriage between her and his eldest son.

After asking Yun Jie, he asked Zhou Tianqi the same question. However, because the Great Zhou Mansion was closer to the Heavenly Mansion, Zhou Tianqi was able to get rid of Zhu Dizhu's "entanglement". Before parting, Zhou Tianqi gave Yun Jie a "good luck" look, to which Yun Jie could only smile in response.

"Old Zhu, I remember Old Tang has a daughter, why don't you look for him?"

Yun Jie's words seemed to hit Zhu the landlord's sore spot, "Do you think I didn't go to him? Do you know what he said to me back then? He said that the Zhu family's genes are no good! Can you believe it!"

"Uh..." Yun Jie thought for a moment and asked, "Does your son look like you?"

"Isn't that obvious? My son would look nothing like me!" Landlord Zhu rolled his eyes at Yun Jie. What kind of talk was that?

"Oh, I understand."

Yun Jie suddenly realized why Tang Tianzhong had refused Zhu Dizhu. He thought that he would have refused too; how could he possibly push his daughter into a fire pit?

Furthermore, in three years, Landlord Zhu will have to arrange for Zhu Tianfang to fake his death and escape. This "death" will last for more than three hundred years. Others may not know, but he knows perfectly well. Therefore, Yun Jie would never agree to a marriage alliance with the Zhu family.

Yun Jie wouldn't even consider the Zhu family, let alone the Qin, Xia, or Zhou families.

The reason is simple: Qin Zhen, that guy, was beaten to a pulp in his later years and complained to Su Yu that he was hundreds of years old and it was shameful!

As for Xia Wudi, there's no need to say anything. Just based on his name, Yun Jie worried that even if he could save him once, he might not be able to save him a second time. It was too arrogant and conspicuous, which was inappropriate.

As for Zhou Potian, needless to say, he perfectly inherited Zhou Tianqi's personality and is also a "cunning" person, which does not meet Yun Jie's requirements.

Finally, Yun Jie figured it out: why should a daughter have to get married? It's not like he can't afford to raise her.

"Wait, what did you just say you understood? How come you understand?" Landlord Zhu was a little confused. How come Yun Jie suddenly blurted out "I understand" while they were talking? This confused him.

"Hey, I mean I understand why Old Tang rejected you."

"Why?" Landlord Zhu pressed.

"It must be because he felt his daughter wasn't good enough for your Zhu Tianfang that he rejected you. After all, your son is just like you, so intelligent, brave, and handsome."

"Hahaha, I see. No wonder he seemed hesitant to speak. He was probably too embarrassed to say anything. Oh well, let's not force him." Landlord Zhu laughed shamelessly.

Yun Jie: "Hehe..."

Yun Jie and Landlord Zhu's conversation was heard by Yue Li, who was traveling with them. He looked at Landlord Zhu's face, trying to suppress his laughter, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Yun Jie quickly gave him a wink, "Don't laugh!"

Yue Li nodded immediately, indicating that he had received the message.

And so, the two listened to Zhu the landlord's self-praise all the way, occasionally echoing his words.

"Old Zhu, let's part ways here. We'll meet again sometime."

"Okay, then remember to come visit me sometime!"

"No problem," Yun Jie replied with a smile.

As soon as Landlord Zhu left, Yue Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Phew, finally some peace and quiet."

"Haha, that's just how Old Zhu is, you'll get used to it." Yun Jie patted Yue Li on the shoulder and said, "Alright, you can go back now. Don't think too much about this. We will never hand you or anyone else over."

"Ok!"

Yue Li nodded heavily, then turned and left.
