Chapter 3007: 984

Though Zhou Tian seemed free from the threat of the Divine Kings at the moment, he knew if they discovered his situation, their reaction would become a real headache for him. He clearly understood what the Divine Kings meant to him, so he dared not be careless when facing them. If possible, Zhou Tian would have wanted to send those Divine Kings away immediately, but it was clear from the situation at that time that even if he wanted to, the consciousness of the Divine Realm would not easily allow it. Given the abilities of the divine consciousness, if it decided to interfere in this matter, Zhou Tian would find it impossible to accomplish anything.

Based on the situation at the time, if it dragged on, the likelihood of problems arising for Zhou Tian would increase. If problems occurred, it would not be surprising for the Divine Kings to notice something. Given Zhou Tian’s relationship with them, discovering anything would pose significant difficulties for him.

Thus, while it seemed Zhou Tian had blocked the Divine Realm’s attack, he did not show any sign of relaxation. Even if the invasion from the Divine Realm no longer seemed a threat, Zhou Tian still had to find a strategy to handle their invasion.

Zhou Tian’s idea was simple: to use his available tactics to make the divine consciousness abandon its invasion idea. If the divine consciousness adopted such a view, it would relax its constraints on the Abyss World, and at that time, the Divine Kings trapped within the Abyss World would be able to leave.

Therefore, if the Divine Kings were sent away, the crisis for Zhou Tian and the Abyss World would be completely resolved. Although this seemed extremely difficult, to solve these problems, Zhou Tian had no choice but to act. Only by forcing the divine consciousness to retreat could Zhou Tian have the opportunity to digest the gains from previous combats.

Undeniably, Zhou Tian was preparing to challenge an extremely difficult task.

The patience of the divine consciousness was formidable; even if its normal tactics couldn’t conquer a world, it could continue attacking for millions of years. Time held no meaning for the Divine Realm, and such continuous assaults posed no pressure on its powerful capabilities.

Even though the strength shown by Zhou Tian and the Abyss World was substantial, the Divine Realm was unlikely to conquer them in a short time. However, the fact that the Abyss World posed a threat itself justified continued attacks by the Divine Realm, irrespective of any apparent hope for victory.

If the divine consciousness refused to change its idea, Zhou Tian’s hope of waiting for it to retreat was unrealistic. So, in pursuit of his goal, despite the difficulties, Zhou Tian had to devise a method to force the divine consciousness to retreat.

It was evident that dealing with the divine consciousness would not be easy. Given the circumstances, it was nearly impossible for Zhou Tian to dispel its invasion ideas through clever methods. Facing the situation, his only choice seemed to be resolving the issue through force.

Despite being a seemingly impossible task, the only method Zhou Tian could think of was proving his defensive ability through strength. If the Divine Realm discovered the actual strength of Zhou Tian and the Abyss World exceeded its expectations, it might be deterred from continued aggression, even if that meant risking a larger invasion action by the Divine Realm.

Unquestionably, Zhou Tian, though uncertain of the divine consciousness’s intentions, felt he had no other choice at that time.

Given his situation, Zhou Tian attempted to deter the invasion ideas of the divine consciousness, albeit with little hope of success. However, if he succeeded, the current issues would be fundamentally resolved. If he failed, his fate would not improve, but doing nothing would surely result in an even worse outcome.

Thus, since whatever choice he made would not alleviate his fate, Zhou Tian decided to take a stand. Although the divine consciousness was formidable, if Zhou Tian pursued his efforts diligently, achieving his goal might not be impossible after all.
