Chapter 510 – The Forbidden Zone Master's Shattered Composure

Six Forbidden Zones emerged simultaneously, with Extraterrestrial Evil Gods coordinating from the outside. The Children of the Forbidden Zones all believed they held a great advantage, and Mu Lin, who had only recently ascended to the status of a Deity, stood no chance of stopping them.

They also assumed that after their declaration—”Anyone who dares to obstruct us will face extermination”—spread, the aristocratic families and noble clans of the Human Race would hesitate, forced to allow them to advance unhindered.

Confident of their impending victory, from the very beginning of this upheaval, they began to anticipate the taste of a Deity.

One of the Children of the Forbidden Zones even let out a sinister, cackling laugh:

“Hehe, don’t blame us for this. If anyone is to blame, it’s Mu Lin himself.”

…

Arrogant, unrestrained, and tyrannical—this rebellion of the Forbidden Zones was more violent and more reckless than any before.

—With Outer Gods watching covetously from beyond and numerous Evil Gods seeking to destroy everything, the rulers of the Forbidden Zones and their Children believed that the True Lords and aristocratic families of the Human Race would abandon Mu Lin for the sake of the greater good.

However, those who held such beliefs soon discovered that events had spiraled beyond their expectations.

…

Naturally, Mu Lin was aware of the rebellion in the Forbidden Zones, as well as their declaration: “Anyone who dares to obstruct us will face extermination.”

Upon learning this news from the Yan Family, the Chu Family, and Prince Liang’s Manor, Mu Lin was momentarily taken aback, but then he began to laugh.

Such an attitude only fueled Prince Liang’s frustration.

“What are you laughing at at a time like this? Mu Lin, quickly issue a proclamation calling on the aristocratic families of the Human Race to jointly suppress the Forbidden Zones!”

But Mu Lin did not spring into action.

Far from being anxious, he sat down leisurely and said, “No rush. There’s no need to pressure those aristocratic families and noble clans. They are free to make whatever choice they wish.”

“Whether they choose to stand by and watch or to campaign against the Forbidden Zones, they may act as they see fit.”

“Huh?!”

Mu Lin’s decision left Prince Liang stunned and utterly bewildered.

However, Mu Lin was now a True God and the leader of this coalition of interests. Once he made a decision, no one could defy it.

Thus, despite Prince Liang’s anxiety and reluctance, Mu Lin’s resolution was disseminated far and wide through Prince Liang’s Manor, as well as the Yan and Chu Families.

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, the major aristocratic families immediately convened emergency meetings overnight to discuss their course of action.

Some proposed simply observing the actions of the Forbidden Zones.

But this suggestion was swiftly refuted.

“Fool! It’s true we could stand by and watch the Dark Forbidden Zone act, but have you considered the consequences?”

“If Your Majesty Mu Lin survives, He wouldn’t even need to lift a finger. Just by refusing to sell us the Golden Fruit, we would fall behind among the aristocratic families. Without the sublimation of our bloodlines and with our strength diminished among the noble clans, we would plummet from our current status as a prestigious family to that of a humble lineage—or even commoners!”

The competitive pressure among aristocratic families was immense. If others advanced while you remained stagnant, you were effectively regressing.

And the decline of a family’s standing was something these self-proclaimed elites could neither accept nor tolerate.

Yet, engaging in war with the Dark Forbidden Zone would inevitably result in countless casualties.

Moreover, some worried that Mu Lin might not survive this ordeal.

“If Mu Lin survives, we will indeed face retribution afterward. But what if he perishes? In that case, not only would our investments come to nothing, but we would also incur the wrath of those Forbidden Zones…”

“Mu Lin will not die. Since he dares to let us choose, it means he has confidence in surviving this… Moreover, our True Lords may not necessarily stand idly by.”

“But the extraterrestrial gods are also restraining our True Lords…”

Due to differing opinions, some Aristocratic Families chose to remain passive, but more of them opted to take the initiative.

Although these forces did not represent the entire strength of the Human Race, their mobilization still exceeded the expectations of the six major forbidden zones.

In the original plans of these Children of the Forbidden Zones, they had assumed that no one would dare to obstruct them once their declaration was made.

“Bastards! Do those lowly creatures not fear death?”

“Kill them all! I refuse to believe they aren’t afraid of death…”

“Not just those before us—we must not spare the ancestral lands of those Aristocratic Families either. If they dare to come, let them all be exterminated… I refuse to believe that after wiping out a few families, others would still dare to show up!”

“Boom!”

The combined assault of numerous Aristocratic Families instantly made the actions of the Dark Forbidden Zone extremely difficult.

Just when they thought the situation could not get any worse, what happened next completely surpassed their imagination.

The True Lords—had taken action.

And not just one or two, but all of the Human Race’s True Lords acted simultaneously as the Dark Forbidden Zone erupted in turmoil.

“Boom!”

Within this world, the True Lords could draw upon the assistance of heaven, granting them immense combat power at their peak.

“Rumble…”

The intervention of numerous True Lords instantly shattered the Forbidden Power they had unleashed, allowing their own laws to envelop everything.

Martial laws restrained all Mystical Arts and all sinister, eerie powers.

Endless Thunder, like divine punishment, crashed down upon the forbidden zones—not only striking the evil creatures that had ventured out but also assaulting their ancestral lands.

“Boom!”

Flames consumed everything, and endless thunderclaps exploded across the sky.

The True Lords’ intervention instantly crippled or killed countless evil creatures from the forbidden zones.

This scene left the previously arrogant and unrestrained Children of the Forbidden Zones utterly stunned.

“How dare they!”

They could not understand why the True Lords would react so intensely, going all out without leaving any room for retreat… Were they not afraid that other Evil Gods or extraterrestrial gods would seize this opportunity to attack?

Not only did these Children of the Forbidden Zones fail to comprehend, but even the rulers of the Ten-Thousand Caves Mountain and other forbidden zones were equally perplexed.

“Hum!”

However, despite their confusion, these rulers of the forbidden zones stepped forward, attempting to disrupt the True Lords’ focus with their words.

“Heh, it seems you hold that Mu Lin in high regard. But is this truly wise? Without your protection, those Evil Gods could breach this world at any moment… Are you not afraid of the world falling into ruin?”

This was indeed a risk and the greatest reliance of the forbidden zone rulers in daring to kill Mu Lin—if humanity were to confront both the Dark Forbidden Zone and the Extraterrestrial Evil Gods simultaneously, they would indeed be caught between two fronts.

It was for this reason that these rulers of the forbidden zones had been persuaded to take decisive action against Mu Lin.

However, something unexpected occurred.

Faced with such a threat, the True Lords’ resolve remained completely unshaken. Instead, their subsequent words shattered the composure of both the rulers of the forbidden zones and those Aristocratic Families who had chosen to remain passive.

“Hahaha, the threats you speak of are indeed real. The Extraterrestrial Evil Gods are indeed watching covetously, and our world could fall at any moment…”

Before the rulers of the Forbidden Zones could continue their questioning, a resolute voice echoed throughout heaven and earth.

“But it doesn’t matter. Whether the Extraterrestrial Evil Gods invade, or the world falls into ruin—even if nine-tenths of humanity perishes after this cataclysmic war, and the Profound Spirit World becomes a nest for demonic monsters—we fear nothing, and care even less!”

“?!?”

“You’re insane!”

The attitude of the Human Race True Lords caused the six Forbidden Zones, along with the numerous evil creatures and Children of the Forbidden Zones, who had been so arrogant just moments before, to completely lose their composure.

A gentleman can be exploited by his principles.

Previously, they believed victory was inevitable because the Human Race True Lords had to protect the world and resist the Evil Gods.

But now, they have cast aside all restraints, no longer caring about the world. And at this moment, it is they who will be left with the headache.
