Chapter 528 1 Everything for the Race!
"Of course, that's not what I meant. It's okay to be afraid of death, but if you're too afraid of death, then there's no point in cultivating."
Zhou Ze spoke eloquently: "What I want to say is that once you get the hang of the mental cultivation method, you can improve your will step by step, instead of going through countless life and death experiences and still finding it difficult to break through."
"Once you've mastered the Mindset Cultivation Method, it means you possess limitless potential in terms of willpower. Chaos just said that Moody has the potential to become a cosmic ruler, but what I want to say is that for those who have mastered the Mindset Cultivation Method, with my guidance, becoming the strongest in the universe is just the beginning!"
These words immediately stunned all the powerful figures present, even the Chaos City Lord, who had just entered the realm of mental cultivation, found it hard to believe!
Zhou Ze's words were really too frightening, almost like bragging, and even bragging shouldn't be done like this. Even he didn't dare to believe them.
"Holy Master, aren't you going a bit too far with your words?"
"Yes, if that's the case, does that mean that as long as one reaches the initial stage of mental cultivation, one possesses the potential to be the strongest in the universe, or even higher?"
"It's not that we don't trust you, it's just that what you're saying makes it impossible for us to trust you..."
Some straightforward cosmic lords expressed their doubts on the spot.
Zhou Ze calmly said, "It's normal for you to have doubts. I originally planned to wait until Moody became the master of the universe or even the strongest being in the universe before bringing it up, but my conscience won't allow me to do so."
"Because as long as slavery is not abolished, countless people of our own ethnicity and their young will be persecuted by their own people every single day!"
"I have always been extremely disgusted by internal strife and infighting. Competition based on conscience is another matter. As some people just said, slavery is something that none of you have ever cared about."
"If I directly propose abolishing it, no one will say anything, because it won't harm anyone's interests in the slightest!"
"But I still went on and on like this..."
Zhou Ze said with a hint of emotion in his eyes, "Even now, possessing the strength of the strongest being in the universe and standing at the pinnacle of the primordial universe, I have never forgotten my original aspirations..."
"Life is all about survival, and better survival. Every life has its own thoughts, feelings, and things it wants to protect..."
"There's an old saying on Earth: 'When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven.' You all stand at the top, securing immense benefits for the peripheral groups, and indeed, your very existence contributes to the group. But why not extend this ability to benefit every individual and every territory as much as possible?"
"Having come from humble beginnings, I know how much ordinary life suffers when faced with injustice, despair, and pressure. Back then, how much I wished someone could help me..."
"Now that I have the ability, I can't bear to see countless people of my people living in despair and suffering..."
Zhou Ze sighed deeply and said, "Of course, even if we give our all, it's hard to achieve perfection, and it's impossible to benefit everyone. But I think that doing our best can bring some redemption to our hearts."
"At least this kindness can give those utterly desperate people a glimmer of hope..."
The scene was silent. Many of the universe lords who had experienced countless hardships and witnessed countless life and death separations could not understand it, but that did not prevent them from feeling a sense of shock and admiration.
"Haha, Holy Master, there aren't many people I, Giant Axe, admire in my life, but you are one of them. It's not just your strength, but also your character!" Giant Axe laughed heartily.
"Zhou Ze, go ahead and do what you're thinking. I support you unconditionally!" The Chaos City Lord smiled. He used to worry that Zhou Ze might leave the human race like the Yan God Clan, but now he no longer had that concern because Zhou Ze was a member of the human race.
"Holy Master, I will unconditionally support anything that can improve the lives of my people!"
"Holy Master, this old fellow was born when humanity was at its weakest. Along the way, my relatives and friends passed away one by one. I almost lost all feelings and forgot my original intentions. Now I have suddenly awakened..."
"Without the care and support of my community and elders, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I unconditionally support you in return!"
"I don't understand anything, but I can put myself in others' shoes, and the weak are not incapable of contributing to the community. I think... everyone should do their part..."
"I don't understand these things, and I'm not interested in them, but if it can improve the lives of the people, then it's worth it! Even a genius like Moody has lost hope; slavery is indeed somewhat backward."
The lords of the universe responded to the call, and the scene was filled with clamor.
Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "Everything is for the sake of the race!"
"Everything for the community!"
"Everything for the community!"
"..."
All the strongmen, with smiles and a sense of nobility, shouted out their slogans.
……
The human race that devours the world, especially the highest-ranking members, may each have their own selfish motives, but they are very united for the sake of their race.
It's not just humans; all other major races are the same. They are willing to go through fire and water for their race.
After exiting the Pantheon plane, Zhou Ze arrived at his own private plane and issued a notice that the Genius Battle was over.
After exiting the Pantheon plane, Zhou Ze arrived at his own private plane and issued a notice that the Genius Battle was over.
This action caused an uproar throughout the entire universe:
"What happened? Is it over already?"
"Father God above! It's over like this? Does that mean I'm in the top 100? Haha!"
"No wonder it's called the Peak Genius Selection Tournament; there's no actual fighting, it's purely a test of willpower and mental fortitude!"
"Thankfully, there's no combat competition option, otherwise I would definitely be ranked last. The gap between my talent and comprehension and those top geniuses from the Universe Kingdom is just too big!"
……
"it's over?"
Many of the cosmic rulers and cosmic venerables who were paying close attention to the next test were somewhat bewildered; this was far too anticlimactic.
Such a simple, such a short, such an unconventional selection process has come to an end.
Confused as they were, many cosmic rulers became excited, especially those who had made it into the top ten:
"Haha! A genius from my Universe Kingdom has actually made it into the top ten! And I've obtained a supreme treasure just like that?"
"Damn it! One of my geniuses from the Universe Kingdom is ranked 11th, just a hair's breadth away from the top ten, sigh..."
"How come that old fellow Gu Lun is so lucky? Where did he find a slave who actually got first place in the overall rankings? That's a top-tier treasure!"
For many cosmic rulers, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain a high-grade treasure; such treasures are simply too precious.
The treasures used by almost all cosmic overlords, even the top cosmic overlords, are high-level treasures, while many cosmic lords may not even have a single top-level treasure.
Not every race or power is as domineering as the human race, who bestow a top-tier treasure upon someone who advances to the level of a universe master.
Humanity does possess the legacy left by its ancestor. Obtaining the most powerful treasures may require some luck, but treasures below the most powerful can be obtained as long as one is strong enough!
