Man on the ark, forced to become king

The order established by modern civilization is based on human existence; there is no place for gods, and human rules do not apply to those ancient things.

Often, it's not that they want to be enemies with existing nations and order, but rather that the nations established by human civilization do not exist in the eyes of the behemoths. They will not abide by them, nor will they restrain themselves; their very existence will have a serious impact on the surrounding cities.

Gods like Yeragand, the Wolf Mother, the Black Serpent, and the fragments of the Year, who knew of the changes of the times, were ultimately few and far between. Most of the giant beasts had already disappeared long before the rise of human civilization. They were too ancient, so ancient that they had no idea what changes had taken place in the world. Their innate and powerful abilities, which allowed them to stand at a higher position and look down on the human world.

Therefore, they still regard humans and other creatures as ants, and do not even have the idea of ​​communicating with them, just as humans do not talk to ants.

Their very existence is incompatible with modern civilization, and even inherently opposed to it.

Humans and ancient gods are clearly distinct.

This has nothing to do with right or wrong, or justice or injustice, but rather with a difference in ideology. One side must compromise.

Clearly, human civilization, built up through countless disasters, will not compromise with those barbaric creatures, so the two sides became enemies.

"What are you going to do?"

Theresa held several documents in her hand, her brow furrowed with worry.

Unlike the deeply rooted Yan Kingdom, Kazdel, which had just completed the reconstruction of its royal court, seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the internal divine afflictions.

Intelligence reports were being sent to the Golden Tree, indicating that disasters related to the giant beasts were occurring more and more frequently. If this continued, the royal court would not be able to hold on for long, given its current strength. If it weren't for the Golden Tree sharing the burden, the situation would likely be much worse.

"What can we do? One word: kill."

Lin Lu spread her hands, looking completely at ease.

"What's that saying in Yan Kingdom? Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Those who can become friends should be won over, and those who are unwilling to communicate should be used as fertilizer to nourish the golden tree."

"No cooperation, only destruction? Gods? They're just a bunch of remnants of the old era. Do they even deserve to be called gods?"

"If you want to rise above all living beings, you have to see if you have the ability. Unfortunately, they met me."

"My methods are simple and brutal. If a giant beast is causing trouble, I kill one. If two come, I kill both. When no one in the world dares to call themselves a god, then the world will naturally be at peace."

"Next, I will fully unlock the internal enhancements of the Golden Tree, which will greatly improve the strength of the operators and make them more than capable of dealing with those things."

"The most urgent thing right now is to launch an expedition against the Sea Kings. Those old fogies who have come out of their graves, deal with them if you can, and leave the rest for now. Once I return from the sea, I will wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

"The expedition to the Sea Kings will take time to prepare. We have teleportation available. Before preparations are complete, there's no need for the top-tier powerhouses to stay there. Let's take advantage of this lull to disperse them and carry out a simple cleanup."

"Two former comrades-in-arms have come to Skadi's side. They are both quite strong. I plan to make them Forge Knights and form a three-person team with Skadi. They should have no problem dealing with ordinary behemoths."

"W, Surtr, Logos, together they are equally powerful."

"And then there's Shining, Bodracaster, and Saria; their strength is more than enough."

“You, Lani, Nian, Xi, and Ling are all capable of standing on your own and can handle things independently without teammates.”

"For some weaker teams, I will have them carry the Soul Summoning Bell, which will also be effective."

"With the real-time support from Yela, given the current scale of the divine affliction, it shouldn't be difficult for us to suppress it."

"I hope so."

Theresa nodded slightly, offering no objections. This arrangement was the most reasonable outcome, the limit that the Golden Tree could currently achieve. Whether it succeeded or not, there were no other options.

"Take your time, there's no rush. Things need to be dealt with one by one, and eventually everything will be sorted out."

Lin Lu sighed and offered a word of comfort.

At this stage, this is indeed all he can do. Unless the Golden Tree grows to its final stage in the future and brings the entire world under the rules of the Golden Law, some problems can be completely solved.

Thinking about it carefully, this world doesn't seem to be much better than the borderlands, and may even be worse.

Ultimately, the situation on the border was caused by some outward gods who were unwilling to accept defeat secretly causing trouble, coupled with internal turmoil within the Golden Tree Dynasty.

The situation in Terra is much more complicated.

Leaving aside the secrets that previous civilizations and the false sky are still beyond our reach, the troubles that have just been exposed are enough to give us a headache.

On the seabed dwells the recklessly dangerous Agor and the destructive Sealings.

Outside the sphere of civilization on land, alien demons frequently invade, while within the civilization itself, ancient behemoths resurrect and wreak havoc.

Beneath the earth, there seems to be another enormous threat, which we haven't yet figured out.

Add to that the legendary consciousness empire or something... tsk, it's a complete mess, there's basically nothing that's easy to deal with.

The Golden Tree has a long and difficult road ahead before it can make the Golden Law rule the world.

Lin Lu didn't have many good solutions to this. All he could do was keep improving himself and becoming stronger, strong enough to defeat all enemies.

"Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it now. It's no use anyway. Anyway, that's what I'll do. I'm going to take a trip to Longmen."

Rubbing her throbbing temples, Lin Lu immediately banished those complicated thoughts from her mind. After all, as long as her fists were big enough, there was nothing that couldn't be solved. If she couldn't solve it, then her fists weren't big enough.

Instead of pondering questions that have no answers, why not take a break from your busy schedule and relax? You might just have a flash of inspiration.

-------------------------------------

"This is our new employee, Qiu Bai. Hehe, someone is going to be furious."

At the End of the Earth Bar, Lin Lu had just settled into a soft sofa under Texas's hospitality and picked up a bottle of liquor when the Emperor, with an arrogant and domineering gait, burst out from a hidden door at the back of the bar, loudly introducing the bar.

Lin Lu turned her head and was immediately stunned.

Qiu Bai... isn't that the little disciple who trained with Chong Yue? How come he's come to Longmen after all this time and is even hanging out with Penguin Logistics?

Puzzled, he cast a questioning glance at Texas, only to receive a helpless shrug from the black wolf girl.

Clearly, she didn't know the inside story; all she knew was that her boss had started having an episode.

"Mr. Lin."

Upon seeing Lin Lu sitting on the sofa, Qiu Bai was taken aback for a moment, hesitated slightly, and then politely greeted her.

Although she was aloof and not good with words, she wasn't completely ignorant.

The person in front of her was a powerful figure who set off a hundred miles of raging flames at Yumen Pass to burn away the evil spirits. In fact, according to Chongyue, he was her elder, and she should be given the respect she deserved.

"Brother-in-law!"

"puff!"

Just as Lin Lu was about to ask what was going on, Exusiai, who had come out with Qiu Bai, suddenly pounced over, called out a rather subtle nickname, and spat out all the wine she had just drunk, turning the Emperor into a drenched penguin.

That's so rude!

An indescribable penguin scream echoed through the bar. The Great Emperor angrily pounced, but Lin Lu held his head down with one hand. His two short wings flapped wildly, but he couldn't reach it no matter what he did.

"Ahem, don't shout like that, Mostima will scold you again if he hears you."

“She’s still in Laterano and can’t hear me. Besides, I’m not making this up.”

Exusiai curled her lip dismissively, pulled her boss aside, and put on a fawning expression.

"Brother-in-law, I'd like to go to the Golden Tree too, okay?"

"Don't do this, I'm scared!"

Lin Lu shivered, moved away in disgust, and waved her hand, saying, "The Golden Tree is right there. If you want to go, just ask Texas to take you."

"Wow, Texas is so cold!"

"No, I'm afraid you'll blow the golden tree to the sky, and I won't be able to afford to pay for it."

Texas's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but complain. She didn't want to bring this troublesome guy, who was extremely good at causing trouble, to the Golden Tree. If he really caused something, she wouldn't be able to handle it without Mostima. Perhaps W could have more in common with this guy.

“I think Texas’s concerns are valid.”

Lin Lu wholeheartedly agreed. He had heard about Exusiai's 'glorious history' from Mortisma, and to prevent the peaceful Golden Tree from turning into chaos, it was best to leave her with Penguin Logistics to wreak havoc on the Emperor.

After all, only a bigger scourge can restrain a scourge.

"Oh my god! You're not getting your bonus this month!"

The Emperor, who had been pushed aside, jumped onto the table in a fit of rage, and with a single sentence, he made Exusiai's entire body turn ashen.

"Look."

Texas sighed; she was completely used to this.

As everyone knows, Exusiai's salary and bonuses are always teetering on the edge of existence, all thanks to her own relentless efforts—or, to put it bluntly, her reckless behavior.

Fortunately, Penguin Logistics provides meals and accommodation, so there's no need to worry about starving on the streets.

boom!

Suddenly, a violent explosion rang out from outside the door. The tightly closed solid wood door trembled violently, and the bolt broke in the roar, as if it had been violently blown open from the outside. Smoke and dust billowed up, and even the nearby tables and chairs were overturned on the ground.

Da da da.

As the smoke from the explosion dissipated, accompanied by heavy footsteps, Wei Yanwu, draped in a cloak, walked in from outside. He had a pipe in his mouth, puffs of white smoke coming from his nostrils, and his dragon eyes were narrowed. Wisps of smoke drifted from the gun he held in front of him.

"Old Wei, is this... performance art?"

Lin Lu was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, swallowed back the words that were about to come out, and changed to a slightly more tactful way of saying it.

Putting aside the fact that the Governor of Lungmen was carrying a prohibited weapon and raided a bar at night, just look at his outfit, what kind of look is that?

A sudden, serious illness?

Are you watching a cosplay movie?

Why are you playing with hand cannons instead of swords and knives after just a few days? Has the world changed? The version updates are pretty fast!
