Chapter 513: King of Kings!

A few days ago, the human race had been the primary enemy of the foreign Deities, the greatest obstacle to their entry into the Xuanling world.

But when Mu Lin’s planet transformation devices emerged, everything changed in an instant.

Now, the foreign Deities found the Xuanling world’s appeal had diminished.

“The Xuanling world allows my tribe to thrive, but the Moon could also work… Though the Moon is small, Mu Lin claims he can transform other planets in this star system.”

“At most, there might be slight variations depending on a planet’s distance from the sun and its unique traits.”

These variations meant planets closer to the sun would have richer fire-type spiritual energy and higher temperatures.

Those farther away would harbor more water and ice-type spiritual energy.

Some planets were mineral-rich or gaseous, favoring wind, thunder, or metal-type spiritual energy.

Such conditions might trouble ordinary humans, but for diverse alien races, they were ideal.

The fire spirit tribe would rejoice on a sun-scorched planet, while frost giants or feathered serpents would thrive on icy or gaseous worlds.

…

All beings chase profit; all motion stems from gain.

Once Mu Lin’s planet-shaping power came to light, the foreign Deities realized their core conflict with humans had vanished.

Instead, they now needed to rely on him.

Unless driven by madness or a deep blood feud, no sane Deity would antagonize Mu Lin—they’d rather curry his favor.

This explained their attacks on the rulers of the Dark Forbidden Zones.

Though justified, the Dark Forbidden Zones’ masters didn’t understand—they remained unaware of Mu Lin’s power.

The foreign Deities did not share this knowledge, fearing the Dark Forbidden Zones would halt their chaos if they knew:

“If you stop causing crises for His Excellency Mu Lin and the human race, how can we prove our worth?”

Thus, the foreign Deities used the Dark Forbidden Zones as stepping stones to win Mu Lin’s goodwill.

…

Unaware of this scheme, the Dark Forbidden Zones’ rulers cursed the foreign Deities, prophesying their eventual downfall:

“Shortsighted fools! By aiding tyranny today, you’ll share our fate tomorrow!”

“Humans won’t spare outsiders. Once they grow powerful, they’ll purge your kind too!”

These words agitated True Lord Tianwu.

“We’re nothing like you villains. Humans never betray allies!”

“Lies! Your betrayals are legion… Boom!”

Not wanting the Forbidden Zone Master to continue speaking, True Lord Tianwu and his allies intensified their attacks.

The alien races didn’t cease their movements either… These deities from beyond understood perfectly the dangers and consequences mentioned by the Forbidden Zone Master.

Yet they currently had no choice.

These deities hadn’t forgotten that neither humanity nor those maddened evil gods were their ultimate enemies.

The true crisis remained the terrifying calamity that had destroyed their world and forced them into exile.

While allying with the Dark Forbidden Zones to besiege Mu Lin and seize the Xuanling world was feasible with some chance of success, what then?

When the calamity that destroyed their homeland struck again, how would they resist?

Continuing resistance? Preposterous.

These deities knew occupying the Xuanling world wouldn’t grant them strength to withstand the multi-dimensional calamity.

—The beyond deities never considered their world inferior to Xuanling. Even at their prime, they’d failed to stop the cross-dimensional disaster. Temporarily occupying Xuanling wouldn’t restore even a tenth of their former power.

How could they possibly resist in such weakened state?

As for continuing their exile, that meant mere survival.

Countless fleeing groups from various worlds had tried escaping, yet few reached Xuanling’s vicinity.

Those surviving groups all carried internal flaws and widespread madness.

The remaining beyond deities doubted they could wander the void much longer or find another sanctuary.

Thus, it wasn’t that the alien deities ignored the "different hearts of other races" principle—they simply lacked alternatives.

"Though countless gods exist across the heavens, only Mu Lin differs. He alone holds the slimmest chance of resisting this multi-dimensional calamity."

"To avoid perishing in exile, we must pin our hopes on him."

This was the beyond deities’ conclusion.

Still, the Forbidden Zone Master’s warning about "different hearts" influenced some foreign deities.

Not to betray Mu Lin, but to consider strengthening ties—ideally making him their patron deity.

"Would His Excellency Mu Lin unite with our maiden to bear divine children?"

"With life powers enabling countless forms, perhaps we could offer a divine quality… though only usable in our race’s form…"

The foreign deities devised various methods to avoid Mu Lin’s rejection.

They even pondered these during battles against the Forbidden Zone Master.

Truth be told, the beyond deities cared little about the Dark Forbidden Zones’ fate.

Winning Mu Lin mattered more.

Knowing Mu Lin’s deep human ties put them at disadvantage, the aliens began strategizing.

After discussions, they found a solution.

"His Excellency can’t abandon human identity, but we can elevate him—as King of Kings, God of Gods, Sovereign of All Races! A Naturally Holy Being destined to rule the heavens. His human form is but one manifestation!"

"Exactly! The Four Sovereigns title undersells him. For establishing the heavenly court, he should be the supreme Emperor."

"’Should be’? He IS the Emperor, merely reclaiming his rightful throne after trials!"

*Ahem* Our ancient Saint King’s methods mirror His Excellency’s—clearly his incarnation."

"…"

Many deities found this shameless.

Yet others soon followed: "Now that you mention it, our Xi Ancestor might also be his incarnation…"
