Chapter 539 Internal strife, the human race surrendered

There is no eternal hatred between ethnic groups.

In the past, their strengths were equal, and some even had the strength to bully each other, which was why they took the initiative and fought so fiercely. Now that the demon clan is unprecedentedly powerful and at its peak, the clans that have not yet surrendered naturally have no desire to fight and resist.

Especially since the Mechanical Race and the True God Erzuo bowed their heads one after another, this made the Human Race, who had not yet made a decision, feel very uneasy.

Human camp, initial universe.

Chaos City.

This ancient city suspended in the core of the original universe is now filled with a suffocating heaviness.

The holy land that once represented the wisdom and hope of mankind, the utopia to which countless human geniuses flocked, now looks more like a huge refuge and an invisible cage.

Almost all of the human race’s universe masters, top universe masters, and many powerful alien races who are dependent on the human race in the Hong Alliance are gathered here at this moment.

The reason was simple - internally, the might of the demon clan's Heavenly Wolf True God was like a real dark cloud, suffocating the entire human camp.

Externally, the latest news - the surrender and peace request of the Mechanical Race and the direct submission of the True God Erzuo, like two heavy hammers, completely shattered all the remaining fluke mentality of the Human Race.

Apparently—

The human race, once one of the most powerful ethnic groups, has been pushed to the brink of a cliff, with no place to retreat.

In the core mansion, the human race’s top leaders gathered together.

The spacious hall was now like a quagmire of stagnant water, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it almost suffocated people.

The core decision-makers of the human race sat together, and everyone had an extremely ugly look on their faces.

The True God of Chaos, still called the Lord of Chaos City internally.

One of the highest leaders of the human race had a frown on his face at this moment, with deep pain and unwillingness in his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what should we do."

His voice was filled with grief and indignation, but also with a sense of responsibility to protect the backbone of the tribe. For him, surrender was not only the loss of power, but also the complete surrender of spirit and civilization. Deep down, he was unwilling to surrender.

You can say he is stubborn or stupid, but it is this stubbornness that has allowed him and the giant axe to lead the human race through difficult times.

Turning to the left, it was the leader of Penggong. He sighed heavily, and his round face was no longer filled with the innocent smile of the past. Instead, it was filled with fatigue and worry: "Chaos, I understand your feelings. Who is willing to bow their heads? Who is willing to give up their freedom? But the reality is... how many choices do we have? Tianlang has become a true god, with unparalleled power. Even the fierce and stubborn Erzhou can only wag his tail and beg for mercy! The mechanical race has also bowed their heads! What about us? What can we use to fight back? Are we going to gamble the survival of the entire race on a slim hope?"

He swept his eyes over everyone, "Don't forget, everyone. Although the original universe can provide shelter for a while, it is definitely not a long-term solution. If the demon race is determined to destroy us, how long can we last in this huge universe? Master Yuanzu... Sigh."

When mentioning the original ancestor, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. What he didn't express was that the original ancestor was suppressed and the human race no longer had a true pillar.

Everyone already had their own ideas in mind. After Lord Peng Gong spoke, Lord Xu Jin no longer remained silent.

His tone was relatively calm, but also contained a sense of persuasion: "Dignity cannot be eaten, and glory cannot be exchanged for the continuation of the tribe. The current situation is very different from the ancient times. What Peng Gong said is not without reason. The grievances between us and the demon tribe are indeed deep, but... there is no eternal hatred between tribes. If we continue to resist, the outcome may be more embarrassing than that of the mechanical tribe and the True God of Erzhou! At least, they took the initiative to bow their heads and have gained a chance to survive."

He paused, and lowered his voice, "What's more, we have always suffered the most losses... Many of our old friends were killed by the monsters, and Huang Jian is still sleeping..."

After Lord Penggong and Lord Xujin, the two human leaders second only to Chaos and Giant Axe, finished speaking, voices of agreement were faintly heard. It was not obvious, but it was enough to illustrate the problem.

Pain flashed in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord. He looked around and found that most of the human universe masters did not dare to look him in the eye and avoided him with drooped brows and embarrassed eyes.

Only the Ice Peak Master, the only remaining junior brother, looked at him steadily and gave him support. The Ice Peak Master did not speak a word during the whole process, but the ice-blue water vapor surrounding him became thicker and deeper.

But when he saw the Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord of Chaos City was reminded of the captured Lord of Darkness. His heart ached and he did not dare to look into the eyes of the Lord of Ice Peak and avoided him.

The debate continues.

There are no war factions, only peace factions and wavering factions.

The peace faction emphasizes survival and ethnic continuation, while the wavering faction is making a painful balancing act, fearing extinction and falling, yet also cherishing the glory of the past.

For a moment, no one could convince anyone else, and the air was filled with anxiety.

Finally, the Lord of Chaos City closed his eyes tiredly: "This matter... is of great importance, involving the survival of the tribe. Let's discuss it later... Let me... think about it again."

The meeting reached a deadlock and ended unhappily.

……

In a relatively remote side hall in Chaos City, the atmosphere was equally depressing. The gathering of so many powerful people made the air seem very turbid.

Gathered here are the many alien universe masters in the Hong Alliance who are dependent on the human race.

They are not the core of the human race, but the fate of their ethnic group is also tied to that of the human race.

"Everyone, the human leaders are still arguing!" A 'Star Tree Lord' who looked like a huge ancient tree with starlight flowing between its branches and leaves anxiously conveyed the message with his mind, "They are still arguing about dignity and honor! But what about us? What about our people? Are we going to be buried with the human race?"

"The mechanical race has bowed their heads! The True God of Erzhou has surrendered! The demon race is unstoppable!" said another 'Lord of the Crystal Blade', who was covered in purple crystal armor and had a sharp aura like a broad sword. His voice was filled with anger, "The human race is too proud. Even at this time, they still can't see the situation clearly... We... We are implicated!"

"That's right!" A Thousand Blade Lord with a sharp voice like a large black sea urchin growled, "We joined the Hong Alliance to seek shelter and benefits! We didn't come to be buried with the human race! Now the shelter has become a death warrant! If the human race doesn't bow down, we...are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"

"If you slow down one step, you will slow down every step. If you slow down any further, there will be no turning back."

"But... betraying the Hong Alliance and surrendering directly to the demon race?" A rock life universe master in the corner hesitated, "Will the human race let us out of the universe?"

They can now enter and exit the initial universe freely, but not all at once, but in batches.

The key point is that the human leaders may not be afraid of the possibility of their collective rebellion.

"How can this be called betrayal?" The Starwood Lord retorted excitedly, "This is for the survival of our race! The human race can hardly protect itself, so it is only natural for us to seek self-preservation! Do you want to wait until this cosmic era ends and crush us along with the human race?"

“When the time comes, we will see those who were not as good as us living in the holy land of Heavenly Wolf True God and enjoying eternal life, while we can only perish and turn into ashes?”

As soon as this was mentioned, the hall suddenly became noisy. Those who had been wavering just now now had fierce looks in their eyes and no longer hesitated.

Who doesn't want eternal life? ! ! !

"Yes! We must unite!" A fierce determination flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Crystal Edge. "Since the human leaders are hesitant, we should put pressure on them! Let them know that the Hongmeng does not belong to the human race alone! They cannot ignore the opinions of so many of our races!"

"Join hands to force the emperor to abdicate?"

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Thousand Blades. "Let them face the reality! Either, on behalf of the human race and our entire Hong Alliance, go and ask for peace with the demon race! Strive for lenient conditions! Or... don't blame us for doing things our own way in order to protect ourselves!"

In their small universe, even though they have many people, they certainly cannot defeat the human race.

However, the original universe not only gathered these vassal races, but also gathered a large number of super geniuses born in the primitive universe era of the human race. These are the only remaining treasures of the human race... If the human race does not agree, they can use these treasures as a threat.

Anyway, if you don't surrender to the demon clan, you will die sooner or later, so you might as well be tough.

The atmosphere in the side hall became tense and full of gunpowder. But there was also a kind of excitement before doing something big. Since joining the Hongmeng, they have always been at a disadvantage to the human race and dared not disobey, but now they want to turn the tables and give all the universe masters present a sense of pleasure of overthrowing the superior.

……

The Lord of Chaos City stood alone on the highest platform of the City Lord's Mansion, overlooking this city that carried too many hopes and struggles of the human race.

He could clearly feel the huge divisions within the human race and the increasingly obvious centrifugal force from the Hongmeng allies.

"Surrender... Submit..." He whispered in a low voice. These two words were like a red-hot iron, burning his soul. The figure of the original ancestor seemed to appear before his eyes, and those calm and wise eyes seemed to be asking him about his choice.

This question cannot be asked to the original ancestor, and the original ancestor cannot give an answer. He is the helmsman of the human race now.

The starlight of the original universe was still bright, but in the eyes of the Lord of Chaos, it seemed extremely cold.

The human race, a race that once stood proudly in the primitive universe, is now standing at the crossroads of fate, facing unprecedented difficult choices.

No matter which path you choose, there seems to be an endless abyss ahead.

However, before he could sort out his thoughts, something strange happened!
Rumble~~~~
The deafening roar did not come from the outside world, but from inside Chaos City!
Powerful, ferocious, resolute and crazy auras of the Lord of the Universe suddenly erupted in various parts of Chaos City, like a volcano that had been suppressed for billions of years!
The sky of Chaos City was instantly filled with all kinds of huge Dharma images!
The ancient star tree towered like a mountain, its branches and leaves spread out, covering half of the sky, and the flowing starlight was as viscous as liquid...

The entire body was covered in purple crystal, like a giant blade that could support the sky. Its sharp aura cut through the air, making a piercing buzzing sound...

The ferocious black sea urchin, with countless spikes flashing coldly on its body, released waves of chaos and violence...

There are also rock giants, fire beasts, energy aggregates...

Dozens of powerful alien warriors from the Hongmeng, who have different appearances but whose aura has reached the level of the Lord of the Universe, now show their strongest Dharma forms without reservation!
Their figures were like the devils coming at the end of the world, standing in the sky above Chaos City, making this holy city of the human race look small and fragile!
The terrifying auras intertwined and collided, forming a substantial pressure, like a heavy lead cloud, pressing down on the hearts of every resident of Chaos City!
Countless human geniuses, immortal gods and even Venerable-level powerful beings trembled in fear under this sudden terrifying pressure, their faces were pale and their eyes were filled with incredible fear.

They could never imagine that there would be a powerful alien who dared to cause trouble in Chaos City! Aren't they afraid of being suppressed?
"Chaos City Lord!"

The Lord of the Star Tree's grand voice, like the rubbing of countless branches and leaves, first resounded throughout the world, with undisguised urgency and questioning: "The demon race's Heavenly Wolf True God has overwhelmed the universe, the machines have bowed, and the Evil Universe has surrendered! The general trend has been determined, and the world is clear! The fate of the millions of tribes and billions of lives in our Hongmeng depends on this moment! How long are you going to drag it out?!"

"Look at these seeds of your human race's future! Look at the hopes that our races have placed on them! A single thought from you, Lord of Chaos City, will turn them into ashes! We don't want to perish together, but if you insist on dragging us to hell, don't blame us... find a way out for yourself first!"

"Surrender! Lord of Chaos City!"

"For the continuation of the clan!"

"Don't be stubborn anymore!"

"We don't want to die! We want eternity!"

"We don't want to die! We want eternity!"

"We don't want to die! We want eternity!"

"..."

The thoughts of dozens of universe masters mixed together, and finally turned into a sentence "We don't want to die! We want eternity!", which resounded over Chaos City.

Like a violent tsunami, it instantly submerged the entire Chaos City!

This is no longer a negotiation, but a naked collective coup that involves the pressure of countless lives!

For the sake of their own survival and the temptation of eternal life, the vassal tribes of the Hongmeng completely tore apart their identities and openly forced the human leaders into a corner!
The Lord of Chaos City stood on a high platform, looking extremely lonely amidst the overwhelming pressure and noise.

He looked up at the ferocious image that blocked out the starry sky, and saw that the eyes of his former allies now only had the desire to survive and anger at the "obstruction" of the human race. He felt an unprecedented sadness and loneliness, which made his back grow old and no longer straight.

For billions of years, he has carried the burden of humanity and trudged through the cosmic sea. He has experienced countless storms side by side with the giant axe. He believes that as long as he persists and protects, humanity will eventually be revived.

He is stubborn, he is obstinate, he would rather break than bend... because he believes that the backbone of the human race cannot be broken!
But at this moment, he looked at those "allies" who were forced into desperate situations and had hideous faces, looked at their unconcealable desire for "eternity", looked at the almost irreconcilable differences within his own tribe...an indescribable feeling of exhaustion that penetrated deep into his bones swept over him like a cosmic tide, instantly drowning all his persistence.

tired.

Really... too tired.

The belief in protection was still there, but the power that supported the belief seemed to have been completely drained at this moment. He could not feel anger, nor could he feel tragic. All that was left was an endless, suffocating exhaustion and... numbness.

"enough……"

Just two words seemed to have drained all of the energy of the Chaos City Lord.

He spoke slowly and word by word in a tone without any emotion, as if reading a verdict:

"As you wish..."

"Human race..."

“…It has fallen.”

The last two words fell lightly.

But it is like the thunder at the beginning of the universe, exploding in the depths of the soul of every living being!

boom--

Above the sky, those dozens of ferocious alien statues suddenly froze, and then burst into an indescribable aura of ecstasy!

They succeeded!
They forced the human race to bow their heads!
"Good! Good! Good!"

"Wise move! Lord of Chaos!

Above, countless powerful alien warriors from the Hong League burst into thunderous cheers! The ecstasy of surviving the catastrophe and the longing for eternal life made them forget the tension just now.

The human race, on the other hand, fell into deathly silence.

The Lord of Penggong, the Lord of Xujin and others showed complex expressions on their faces, with relief, shame, and deep sorrow. They knew that this was the best choice, but when they were forced to say it out loud, the humiliation was like a poisonous snake biting their hearts.

At this moment, they realized that their hatred towards these alien universe masters who forced them to surrender was deeper than their hatred towards the demon race!

The Lord of Chaos City was still standing there, his figure looking particularly small and lonely in the strange atmosphere of cheers and deathly silence.

He seemed not to hear any sound around him, just staring blankly into the distance, as if his soul had left his body.

The human race finally bent its once unbending backbone.

Faced with the blades of his allies and the fear of death, he chose eternity of humiliation.

The era of the human race came to an end with this "surrender". (End of this chapter)
