Chapter 510: The Shattered Mindset of the Forbidden Zone Masters

The six major forbidden zones united, backed by otherworldly evil gods. The Sons of the Forbidden Zones felt certain of victory, convinced that Mu Lin—newly ascended to the rank of Deity—could never stop them.

They believed their threat—“any who dare interfere will face annihilation”—would make the powerful clans of humanity hesitate, allowing the forbidden zones to advance unchallenged.

Confident of success, they eagerly imagined feasting on divine power even as the chaos began.

One Son of the Forbidden Zone chuckled darkly:

"Heh, don’t blame us. Blame Mu Lin himself."

…

Bold and lawless, this forbidden areas riot raged fiercer than any before.

With foreign gods circling beyond and evil gods hungering for destruction, the Masters of the Forbidden Zones assumed humanity’s True Lords and noble families would sacrifice Mu Lin for the greater good.

But those who thought this soon learned events had spiraled beyond their control.

…

Mu Lin learned of the riot and its threats through reports from the Yan family, Chu family, and Prince Liang’s residence. After a brief pause, he laughed.

His calmness vexed Prince Liang.

"Why laugh now? Issue a command! Rally the human race’s clans to crush the forbidden zones!"

Mu Lin remained seated, unhurried. "No need to pressure them. Let every prestigious family choose freely—to fight or watch."

"Wha—?!"

Prince Liang gaped in confusion. But as a True God and leader of their alliance, none could oppose Mu Lin’s will.

His decree spread swiftly through the noble families via the Yan, Chu, and Liang factions.

That night, the powerful clans convened emergency meetings. Some proposed neutrality.

"Fools!" a voice snapped. "Suppose we do nothing and Mu Lin survives? If he stops selling Golden Fruit to us, our bloodlines won’t evolve. We’ll fall behind rival families, reduced to paupers!"

For status-obsessed nobles, stagnation meant ruin. Yet attacking the Dark Forbidden Zones risked heavy losses. Others voiced fears:

"What if Mu Lin dies? Our efforts would waste, and we’d earn the forbidden zones’ wrath…"

“Mu Lin wouldn’t die. Since he dared to let us choose, it meant he had confidence in surviving… Besides, our True Lords might not just stand by.”

“But the foreign gods are also keeping our True Lords busy…”

With differing views, some powerful clans chose to wait, but most decided to strike first.

Though these weren’t all the human race’s forces, their mobilization still caught the six Dark Forbidden Zones off guard.

The Sons of the Forbidden Zones had assumed no one would dare oppose them after their declaration.

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

“Kill them all! Let’s see if they still act brave…”

“Not just these fools – we’ll burn their clan’s territories too! After wiping out a few clans, let’s see who else dares come!”

“Boom… roar!”

The assault by powerful clans immediately hindered the Dark Forbidden Zones’ plans.

Just as they thought things couldn’t get worse, reality shattered their expectations.

The True Lords struck.

Not just a few – every Human True Lord acted when the forbidden areas riot began.

“Boom!”

Within their world, the True Lords gained celestial support, pushing their combat power to its peak.

“Boom… roar! Boom… roar!”

Their combined might shattered the forbidden power emanating from the zones, replacing it with their own laws.

Martial Arts rules suppressed all techniques and dark powers.

Heaven’s wrath manifested as endless thunderbolts striking not just the emerging evils, but even their ancestral lands.

“Boom!”

All-consuming flames met sky-rending thunder.

The True Lords’ assault instantly slaughtered countless forbidden zone creatures.

This stunned the previously arrogant Sons of the Forbidden Zones.

“How dare they?!”

They couldn’t grasp why the True Lords fought so recklessly. Wouldn’t this invite attacks from Other Evil Gods and foreign gods?

Even the Master of Wanku Mountain and other forbidden zone rulers were baffled.

“Hmm!”

Though confused, the Masters of the Forbidden Zones counterattacked while taunting:

“Heh, you value Mu Lin that much? But without your protection, evil gods could overrun our world… Don’t you care?”

This was their core argument – humanity couldn’t fight both Dark Forbidden Zones and otherworldly evil gods simultaneously.

It’s why they’d dared target Mu Lin.

But then came the shock.

The True Lords remained unshaken. Their response shattered the composure of both forbidden zone masters and watching clans:

“Hah! True – the otherworldly evil gods watch hungrily. Our world might fall tomorrow…”

Before the enemies could react, a thunderous declaration shook the heavens:

“Let it fall! Let foreign gods invade! Even if nine-tenths of humanity dies and Xuanling world becomes a monster’s den – we fear nothing! We care not!”

“?!!”

“Madmen!”

The Human True Lords’ stance made the six Dark Forbidden Zones and their forces reel.

Their old confidence came from the True Lords’ duty to protect the world.

But now that these guardians abandoned all restraint, the hunters became the hunted.
