Chapter 511 – Mu Lin Is More Important Than Millions of Humans!

“?!?!”

“Bastards, have you gone mad?”

“For the sake of a mere Mu Lin, why go to such lengths!”

“Tianwu, do you have any idea what consequences this will bring… this world will become a demonic monster’s nest, your Human Race will be decimated! Your Human Race’s dominant position will also be shaken!”

“Tribulation Thunder, do you truly not care about the lives of billions of humans!”

The Human Race True Lords, no longer concerned about external threats, instead poured all their efforts into striking them down. Such a scene completely exceeded the expectations of the Forbidden Zone Lords.

They had originally thought that for the sake of righteousness and the greater situation, the Human Race True Lords would swallow their anger and endure, but from the very beginning, things had taken an unexpected turn.

Such an unimaginable development also left them somewhat unable to bear it—although the Forbidden Zones were terrifying, in this world, the ones who ultimately held the dominant position were still the Human Race.

And the fact that they could occupy the most fertile lands and become the protagonists of the world also indicated one thing: the overall strength of the Human Race surpassed that of the Dark Forbidden Zones.

Otherwise, the ones occupying the role of world protagonists would not be the Human Race, but them.

In the past, the Human Race did not act because they were concerned about other Demonic Monsters and Alien Races, especially another dominant power, the Dragon Palace Aquatic Tribe.

But now, Tianwu and the others had clearly cast aside all concerns, making it unbearable for them.

Thus, these Dark Forbidden Zone Lords, known for their taboos and terror, had no choice but to use words to describe the severity of the Human Race True Lords no longer protecting the world, hoping they would change their minds.

Unfortunately, their words had no effect whatsoever.

“I’ve said it before, none of this matters. Dare to touch my Human Race’s Mu Lin, and you must die!”

Tribulation Thunder True Lord: “Hahaha, even if the Human Race is decimated, so what? Even if most of our lands fall, so what? Even if my Human Race is completely annihilated, dare to touch my Human Race’s Mu Lin, and we will wipe all of you out!”

“Boom…”

Accompanying Tribulation Thunder True Lord’s words, countless bolts of Thunder blotted out the sky and the sun, crashing down upon the Dark Forbidden Zone Lords like a violent storm.

At the same time, another True Lord shouted out to the entire world.

“All members of the Human Race, heed my command! For Mu Lin, take up your arms and march west to the Western Desert, exterminate the Dark Forbidden Zone! Those who dare disobey this order will be stripped of their Human Race status, becoming traitors and oath-breakers, and will forever lose our protection. This is the collective will of all True Lords!”

“?!?!”

“How could this happen?”

“Mad, you’ve truly gone mad!”

“Father, what should we do?”

“What else can we do? Gather our forces and march to the Western Wasteland! Stripped of our Human Race status and without the True Lords’ protection, we will become savages!”

The fierce and resolute actions of the Human Race True Lords, along with their words that echoed across the heavens, not only shocked and stunned the Children of the Forbidden Zones and the Forbidden Zone Lords but also caused turmoil within the Human Race itself.

The Aristocratic Families who had already dispatched troops were unaffected; upon hearing the True Lords’ command, they were only invigorated, their morale soaring.

But those Aristocratic Families who had originally stood by and watched were now in a difficult position.

They could ignore Mu Lin alone, but they could not disregard the collective will of the Human Race True Lords.

The True Lords sat high in the heavens, like guardian deities, detached from worldly affairs. But this did not mean they lacked the ability or the authority—they simply chose not to intervene.

When their will reached a consensus, not to mention expelling an aristocratic family, even the rise and fall of dynasties could be decided with a single word from them.

Always remember one thing: in this world where great power resides within individuals, it is the human race that needs the True Lords, not the True Lords who need the human race.

Of course, the True Lords of the human race had rarely reached a consensus before.

…

The proclamation of the True Lords plunged the human world into chaos, but in the end, no one dared to defy their will. All raised their weapons and marched toward the Western Wilderness Desert.

However, as they advanced, countless aristocratic families were filled with regret.

“Damn it, we backed the wrong side!”

“How could Mu Lin hold such a heavy place in the hearts of the True Lords?”

“It’s over. Regardless of the outcome of this war, His Majesty Mu Lin will surely survive. If we don’t send troops, he will surely hold a grudge against us.”

“Fifth Elder, go to the Southeast Region and apologize to Mu Lin. Everyone else, bring out all the family’s hidden resources. This is a battle for our family’s survival!”

…

Chaos, regret, and countless humans and powerful figures all marching toward the Western Wilderness Desert—this was the state of affairs within the human realm.

Equally regretful were the Children of the Forbidden Zones and the masters of the forbidden zones.

Now, they had lost all the arrogance and recklessness they had shown when they first emerged from the forbidden zones. All that remained was frustration, anguish, regret, and despair.

“You’re all insane!”

“Why did it come to this?”

“We shouldn’t have listened to the temptations of the Extraterrestrial Evil God…”

“Damn it, there’s only one Mu Lin, but there are billions of humans. Is that Mu Lin really more important than billions of people?”

“Wake up, all of you!”

Shock, confusion, and the realization that Mu Lin’s status in the hearts of the True Lords was more important than billions of humans—this was what the Children of the Forbidden Zones and the masters of the forbidden zones thought.

If the True Lords were to learn of their thoughts, they would affirm them with one sentence—you are right. The importance of billions of commoners and countless aristocratic families indeed cannot compare to Mu Lin.

It must be said that the True Lords possess a heavy sense of divinity. Although they also identify as human, their considerations are largely based on the entire human race and the greater picture.

This mindset allowed them to sit back and watch the war between the humans of the Northern Wastelands and the demonic monsters and alien races, offering little assistance.

—True Lords who held such beliefs thought that aiding the humans of the Northern Wastelands would consume too much of their own power, giving the deities of the alien realms an opportunity. If they were to die, the human race would truly risk being reduced to livestock.

As long as they remained alive, even if the Profound Spirit World fell, humanity would still have a chance to survive in exile.

Holding such beliefs, they sat back and even subtly turned the Northern Wastelands into a training ground, allowing humanity to adapt in advance to the combat capabilities of alien races and evil demons. This was preparation for the great war that would follow if the Evil God breached the world.

As for the millions of humans who perished in the process, to the True Lords, they were merely numbers.

It was precisely because they knew the True Lords of the human race held such a mindset that the masters of the forbidden zones took action to wage war against Mu Lin.

Unfortunately, they never expected Mu Lin to hold such immense importance in the hearts of the True Lords of the human race.

And this, in fact, was entirely normal.

From the perspective of the Human Race True Lord, abandoning Mu Lin to preserve billions of the Human Race was indeed a possible course of action. However, after doing so, humanity would lose any chance of ascension and would be unable to avoid war with the Extraterrestrial Gods. In the end, those billions of humans would still perish—at most, they would only die a little later.

On the other hand, abandoning the protection of the world to safeguard Mu Lin, even if it meant heavy losses for the Human Race, as long as Mu Lin remained, humanity would retain the possibility of collective ascension. Even if the Profound Spirit World fell, these True Lords could take Mu Lin and some seeds of humanity to wander elsewhere.

Moreover, Mu Lin’s Planet Modification Device would allow them to rebuild their homeland anywhere.

“With Mu Lin, we have a future. With him, we have everything!”

After contemplating this, it was only natural for the Human Race True Lord to choose to protect Mu Lin.

However, while the Human Race True Lord felt this decision was highly advantageous, the forbidden zones and the other Foreign Races of the Profound Spirit World felt as though the sky had collapsed.
