Chapter 3009: 985: Counterattack

Counterattack! With Zhou Tian’s order, the Abyss large army he had gathered immediately launched a counterattack against the Divine Realm. Zhou Tian’s action took the consciousness of the Divine Realm by surprise, as they hadn’t anticipated Zhou Tian would make such a move, leading to his initial success.

Regardless, at the time, the Divine Realm’s consciousness was unprepared, so taking advantage of this unguarded moment naturally meant having the upper hand.

Almost without giving the Divine Realm any time to react, Zhou Tian led his troops to defeat the Divine Realm’s large army and immediately chose to invade the Divine Realm.

Although the Divine Realm’s consciousness sealed off the space around the Abyss World at that time, since they intended to annex the Abyss World, they inevitably left several spatial passages open for the attack. Otherwise, truly sealing off the Abyss World entirely was not impossible for the Divine Realm’s consciousness, but it was strenuous and ineffective for annexing the Abyss World at that time. On the contrary, in such a situation, if Zhou Tian managed well, he might even enhance the power of the Abyss World.

Therefore, to invade the Abyss World, there were sure to be several spatial passages left open at that time. Given the circumstances, since the passages existed, Zhou Tian directly used them to invade the Divine Realm, which was challenging but not impossible.

As a result, Zhou Tian’s action progressed smoothly. Relying on his strength, without any defenses prepared in the Divine Realm, Zhou Tian and his group of Abyssal Creatures swiftly attacked the Divine Realm. Immediately upon entering, Zhou Tian issued the command for destruction.

Conquer the Divine Realm?

Such an idea never crossed Zhou Tian’s mind from the start, as he understood very well that the Divine Realm wouldn’t be easy to conquer. Given the circumstances at the time, even though he managed to penetrate the interior due to the Divine Realm’s unpreparedness, considering the Divine Realm’s strength, it would pose no difficulty for them to eliminate the invading enemies once they reacted.

Thus, since Zhou Tian knew he couldn’t conquer the Divine Realm, he would naturally not engage in unnecessary actions at that time. After all, his current objective was to force the Divine Realm’s consciousness to retreat. As long as this goal was achieved, Zhou Tian would accept no other gains from this invasion.

Zhou Tian believed that under normal circumstances, the Divine Realm’s consciousness would patiently fight with him to annex the Abyss World. Given the situation, if the Divine Realm’s consciousness itself didn’t want to retreat, no matter how diligently Zhou Tian fought, it would likely be difficult to achieve his goal in the end. According to Zhou Tian’s plan, to push the Divine Realm’s consciousness to retreat, he had to demonstrate his threat.

Zhou Tian’s choice was straightforward: directly invade the Divine Realm and wreak havoc. Although uncertain of the final effect, at least at that moment, Zhou Tian believed if his plan succeeded, it would have some effect.

After all, no matter how advantageous annexing the Abyss World might be for the Divine Realm, it would still be fundamentally tied to the Divine Realm. While the Divine Realm’s consciousness might overlook other losses, any damage to the Divine Realm itself, however small, would be intolerable.

The Divine Realm was vast, and even the internal conflicts among the deities would cause certain damage every day. However, given the Divine Realm’s strength, such damage usually didn’t affect its development, so the Divine Realm’s consciousness could disregard it.

Obviously, even if internal conflicts among the living beings caused damage, the Divine Realm’s consciousness wouldn’t concern itself with it. But in this situation, as Zhou Tian led his Abyssal Creatures into the Divine Realm, causing widespread destruction, the Divine Realm’s consciousness couldn’t help but pay attention.

After all, Zhou Tian held considerable strength at the time, concentrating the power of half an advanced world to cause destruction within. Even for the Divine Realm, this posed a significant threat. Almost every moment, due to Zhou Tian’s actions, large areas of the Divine Realm’s environment were devastated. The number of deities slain was so high it was difficult to count. If Zhou Tian’s destruction continued, no one could guarantee the Divine Realm would remain unharmed.

No matter whether Zhou Tian’s actions could truly bring down the Divine Realm, at any rate, given that his actions posed a real threat, the Divine Realm’s consciousness would certainly not allow him to run amok. Based on the situation, it’s almost certain that as Zhou Tian dispatched his Abyssal Creatures to wreck havoc, the Divine Realm’s consciousness promptly responded due to his arrangement.

Hence, based on the circumstances, shortly after Zhou Tian sent out his Abyssal Creatures, as the Divine Realm’s consciousness sensed the danger of his actions, they immediately regrouped a large army to encircle Zhou Tian’s Abyssal Creatures.
