Find the Man Behind It

"No, it's more than that."

"The subordinate countries originally under the jurisdiction of the empire, Tianlong Empire, Cang Qiong Empire, Tianhuo Empire, and Fengyun Empire, have all revolted."

"They have joined forces with the Wu Tian Army."

"According to scouts, the leaders of the Wu Sect, Tianyi Sect, Tianlong Kingdom, Cangqiong Kingdom, Tianhuo Kingdom, Fengyun Kingdom, Yuan Zun, Wu Tian, and many others have gathered together, lighting bonfires, seeming to be dancing some kind of square dance."

"From their demeanor, they appear to be very happy."

"What?"

As this news spread,

The Destroyer of the World and the Cloud Top King turned pale, staggering and almost falling to the ground.

"How could this happen?"

"How could this be?"

Muttering in disbelief, their voices filled with dismay.

In this moment, the two seemed to have aged countless years.

At the same time, the Fortune Immortal Pillar nearby also underwent a change.

They both turned their gaze towards it.

After a brief premonitory change, the fortune within the pillar suddenly plummeted.

Until finally, only a faint glimmer remained.

And this faint glimmer, was also due to the continued existence of the Cloud Top Empire. If one day the Cloud Top Empire ceased to exist, this last glimmer would likely also be lost.

The two collapsed weakly to the ground, their faces filled with panic.

During this period of time, they had expended countless efforts and costs, hoping to perfect the Fortune Immortal Pillar soon.

But they never expected this in return.

Clearly.

They had worked so hard.

Clearly, they had followed the guidance of the heavenly scriptures!

"Someone is causing trouble!"

The Destroyer of the World roared hysterically, "There must be someone behind this."

"Since I began planning the Chaos Monument of the Immortal River, I have sensed someone causing trouble behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could such a thing happen?"

At his words, the Cloud Top King also stared wide-eyed.

Before, when the Destroyer of the World spoke of an invisible hand causing trouble behind the scenes, he didn't believe it, thinking it was just an excuse to shift blame.

But now.

He finally believed the Destroyer of the World's words.

Because when all the events of this period were connected, they could see something suspicious.

Clearly everything was according to their plans, yet there were always unexpected changes at critical moments.

If it happened once or twice, it might be a coincidence.

But if every single thing happened this way, it couldn't be passed off as mere coincidence.

Now they were absolutely certain.

There is an unseen hand manipulating everything behind the scenes.

"What should we do?"

The Cloud Top King looked to the Destroyer of the World.

"Humph, we are working for the Lord, anyone causing trouble is defying the Lord. This person must be found out," the Destroyer of the World said, eyes gleaming with determination, clenching his fists.

"Yes, we must find this person out, otherwise, we might not be able to accomplish anything," the Cloud Top King also nodded quickly.

"You, quickly follow my orders and set up formations."

The Destroyer of the World stood up and commanded, "I will immediately utilize the power of formations, using the celestial powers bestowed by the Lord to deduce. Since this person is manipulating behind the scenes, they are bound to leave traces, and we will surely find them."

"Good!"

"I'll take care of it immediately."

The Cloud Top King also understood the seriousness of the situation and dared not be negligent.

After giving the orders, and preparing for three full days, countless experts from Cloud Top gathered together.

"Formation, activate."

This time, it was personally led by the Cloud Top King.

With his command, numerous experts simultaneously infused their inner strength into the formation.

And the Destroyer of the World stood at the center of the formation.

Absorbing the energy within the formation.

"Power of the stars."

"Activate!"

His palm formed intricate hand seals, and with a roar, the sky over the Cloud Top Imperial City suddenly dimmed.

Becoming pitch black.

But under the power of the Destroyer of the World, after a while, the dark sky began to show faint traces of light.

Stars began to appear.

As the stars shimmered, numerous mysterious runes also emerged.

"Cause and effect."

"Search!"

The Destroyer of the World watched the celestial phenomena, using the power of the stars to detect anyone related to the fluctuations of fate.

In an instant.

The sky was filled with various images and information.

There was Wu Tian, who had just emerged from the imperial tomb.

There were Jia Jiaqin and Mo Tianji, who stood tall, having subdued Huang Tian.

There was Yuan Zun, who was secluded in the underground palace of Cloud Top.

There was a gray-robed youth at the peak of the Mist Sect's mountain, commanding tens of thousands of disciples with a raise of his hand.

And there were the monarchs of the Cang Qiong Empire and the Fengyun Empire, who had recently ascended to the throne.

"No, none of them..."

The Destroyer of the World murmured with closed eyes, shaking his head frantically.

These were all surface enemies.

What he sought was the invisible hand behind them.

However.

Deriving these individuals also gave him an important clue.

That is, in the fluctuations of fate, these people played crucial roles, and the manipulator behind them must have had connections with them.

And the one who had connections with all these people simultaneously must be the mastermind behind it all.

"Everyone, exert your power without reservation for me."

The Destroyer of the World shouted loudly.

Sweat also dripped from his forehead.

Obviously, the deduction of the celestial phenomena consumed a great deal of energy.

And the one capable of manipulating everything behind the scenes must not be an ordinary person, deeply hidden in the darkness. Finding him was not an easy task.

"Everyone, obey my command, exert your power without reservation. Whoever reveals the mastermind behind this, I will reward generously!"

The Cloud Top King swallowed a pill, shouting loudly.

The others clenched their teeth, pouring their power into the formation without reservation.

With everyone working together, the celestial phenomena in the sky became significantly brighter.

In the sky.

Images began to sporadically coalesce.

"Hold on."

"We've got the initial information about this person. We'll be able to present it clearly soon!"

The Destroyer of the World gritted his teeth and shouted.

After a long time of unremitting persistence, the intermittent images finally began to clarify.

"We've found him."

Seeing this, the Destroyer of the World excitedly shouted.

The people of the Cloud Top Empire also showed joy, collectively exhaling a sigh of relief, and then looked up to the sky.

The first image that appeared was a short figure.

Dressed very uniquely.

Tight-fitting pants...

DouDou Shoes...
