Rather than a performance put on by them, it was more accurate to call it a conspiracy targeting the system and Xiao Jingfeng.
They had originally thought that the one appearing in Illusory Sea would be either the system or Xiao Jingfeng.
They had not expected it to be me.
They knew about the contest between the system and Xiao Jingfeng, while I was the one moving the pieces.
Of course, I was also a chess piece myself.

Sixty years ago, Xiao Jingfeng appeared on Little Barren Island and did many things. In fact, the Human Race of the Great Wilderness had already appeared by then, but they did not dare face Xiao Jingfeng directly. I guessed they had still been constrained by something at the time, and Xiao Jingfeng was simply too powerful. Without absolute confidence, they would not rashly challenge him.
So over the years, they had been steadily building their strength. Over a full sixty years, they took control of all of Little Barren Island.
They had not only taken over the Four Great Families; even the manor's forces had all fallen under their control.
