Chapter 512: Master of the Forbidden Zone: You’ve Got the Wrong Target!

At first, the other races in the Xuanling world rejoiced when the Forbidden Zones clashed with humans.

Though they couldn’t share Mu Lin’s glory, they deeply felt his oppressive threat.

These races knew full well that once the human race grew stronger, territorial expansion would follow. Their shared world meant they’d bear the brunt of humanity’s aggression.

This looming crisis kept many races awake at night, making the Dark Forbidden Zones’ rebellion a welcome development. Some even helped the Forbidden Zones contact the foreign gods.

Yet they never imagined the Human True Lords would prioritize Mu Lin above all else, abandoning their posts to protect him. With the world’s guardians gone, the gates stood defenseless – and no race believed the otherworldly evil gods would spare them while targeting humans. When the nest falls, no egg remains intact.

"Oh no…"

"Activate the protective formation now!"

"Have humans gone mad? And the Forbidden Zones picking this moment to rebel – they’re handing victory to the evil gods!"

Panic gripped the races as their worst fear materialized: foreign gods materialized in Xuanling’s skies.

"Hummm!"

Though weakened by the world’s will, even diminished True Gods overwhelmed ordinary races.

"Damn it!"

"We’re finished…"

"Stop fighting, humans! Dark Forbidden Zones, cease this madness!"

While terror seized the races, the Dark Forbidden Zones grew emboldened. The Wanku Mountain’s Master sneered at the Human True Lords: "Tianwu! The foreign gods have come to slaughter your people. Surrender now and spare yourselves."

"Give us Mu Lin, and we’ll withdraw from this war."

True Lord Tianwu’s attacks never faltered.

"We’ll protect Mu Lin even if humanity perishes!"

"Death awaits all who threaten him!"

"Kill!"

The gods’ arrival only intensified the Human True Lords’ assault.

"Gah!"

Injured Forbidden Zone Masters roared in fury.

"Bastards! You leave us no choice!"

The Wanku Mountain leader bellowed to the descending gods:

"Join us! Destroy the Human True Lords and claim their lands – we want none of it!"

"Mu Lin is in the Southeast Province; this is the best chance to kill him!"

…

“Jijiji, human soldiers! Your True Lords don’t care about you. Your families and children will soon die under otherworldly evil gods. Why keep fighting us?”

“If I were you, I’d rush home right now to protect my family… Any later and it’ll be too late!”

The human race’s full-force assault pressured the Dark Forbidden Zones heavily. Though dark creatures’ morale kept rising, they still couldn’t match human strength. So they tried poisoning minds – driving wedges between aristocrats and True Lords, planting seeds of fear.

Some humans did consider retreating, while others roared wildly: “We’ll kill you first, then still make it back in time!”

…

Common forbidden zone spirits tried weakening human morale, and so did their Masters.

“Just wait! Rivers of human blood will flow because of your choices – they’ll all die by your hand!”

“I told you – it! doesn’t! matter!”

“And before humanity falls, this old man will wipe you out first.”

“You’ll get no chances… I’ll be the one killing you!”

The speaking Forbidden Zone Master grinned excitedly. Foreign gods had descended upon Xuanling World and headed straight for the main battlefield without hesitation.

Seeing them arrive, multiple Forbidden Zone Masters immediately shouted: “Attack now! Help us kill the Human True Lord…?!!”

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!”

At first, the foreign gods’ arrival thrilled the Forbidden Zone Masters. They especially appreciated how these outsiders didn’t wait for humans and forbidden creatures to weaken each other, but joined the fight immediately – unlike themselves, who’d have let both sides bleed out first.

But their joy vanished as quickly as it came.

The foreign gods indeed acted – but not against Human True Lords. They attacked the Forbidden Zone Masters themselves.

This confused the forbidden rulers completely. Thinking it a mistake, the assaulted Masters didn’t retaliate at first, swallowing their rage to yell:

“Wrong target!”

This made foreign gods laugh.

“No mistake here. You’re exactly who we want dead!”

BOOM!

As they spoke, several foreign Deities struck. Their power unleashed layers of cosmic laws, shattering reality like broken mirrors.

“Pfft…”

Already losing against Human True Lords, multiple Forbidden Zone Masters collapsed under the foreign gods’ onslaught. They ignored their bodily wounds – what truly shattered was their mindset.

“WHY?”

“Have you gone mad?”

“Humans hold Xuanling’s richest lands! We only have wastelands!”

“Kill their True Lords and take their territory for your tribes! Killing us gains you nothing!”

“Humans are our shared enemy!”

No matter how they reasoned, Forbidden Zone Masters couldn’t understand why foreign gods helped humans. Especially since these outsiders had started this war – without their promise to contain Human True Lords, the Dark Forbidden Zones would never have mobilized fully to surround Mu Lin.

While forbidden rulers struggled to comprehend, the foreign evil gods sighed inwardly:

‘You’re right. Three days ago, helping kill Human True Lords to claim their lands would’ve been our path.’

‘But now… circumstances have changed.’
