Chapter 3011: 986

If Zhou Tian were to fight, he certainly could not be a match for the Divine Realm. Yet, based on his performance at the time, as long as Zhou Tian forced the Divine Realm to respond, the consciousness of the Divine Realm would surely concentrate its forces. And let’s not forget, there are quite a few Divine Kings within the Abyss World, and if strength needs to be concentrated, the Divine Realm consciousness would certainly not forget those Divine Kings. And if that situation arises, Zhou Tian can be certain that the consciousness of the Divine Realm would inevitably lift its blockade on the Abyss World. At that time, realizing they could leave the Abyss World, the Divine Kings who initially invaded the Abyss World would probably, without hesitation, leave immediately without considering the reason for the change.

In the previous battle with Zhou Tian, those Divine Kings already suffered enough at Zhou Tian’s hands. If their strength had not been decent and Zhou Tian’s real strength was inferior, those Divine Kings would likely have all perished in Zhou Tian’s hands during their previous confrontation.

Even though those Divine Kings are currently unharmed, they lost their will to fight after those previous wars. If at that time they had a way to leave, they would have all likely retreated by the time Zhou Tian killed the first Divine King.

Thus, because the Abyss World is currently blockaded, the Divine Kings who can’t return to the Divine Realm remain in the Abyss World. And if the Divine Realm prepares for their return, it goes without saying that once a passage is available, those Divine Kings would undoubtedly choose to return without a second thought.

As long as those Divine Kings choose to return to the Divine Realm, Zhou Tian would have achieved his original purpose.

From the beginning, Zhou Tian never intended to annex the Divine Realm. Given the strength of the Divine Realm, unless they sought their own demise, based on Zhou Tian’s strength at the time, annexing them was utterly impossible. So, knowing he could not annex the Divine Realm with his strength, he certainly would not attempt something destined to fail.

From the start, Zhou Tian’s goal was to send those Divine Kings away. Only by sending them back to the Divine Realm would Zhou Tian accomplish his purpose. Although it couldn’t be said he defeated the Divine Realm, alleviating his precarious situation through this was not an issue for Zhou Tian.

Once those Divine Kings leave the Abyss World, Zhou Tian would have overcome most of this crisis. As long as he avoids any critical mistakes in the future, getting through this ordeal might not be as difficult as imagined.

At the time, Zhou Tian’s situation was certainly very dangerous. The reason he felt such danger was due in part to the Divine Realm invader’s overwhelming strength, and also because there was a significant number of Divine Kings internally at that time.

Given the strength of those Divine Kings, if they joined the war, Zhou Tian certainly could not have ended well. And because Zhou Tian lacked the ability to resist two fronts simultaneously, his situation seemed dire, with the risk of annihilation if mishandled.

However, regardless of how poor Zhou Tian’s situation was when facing two crises, as long as he could send those Divine Kings away, even if they realized something was wrong and were called back by the Divine Realm consciousness, as long as they were on the main battlefield and not behind Zhou Tian, his crisis would not be as severe as it presently seemed.

Thus, if Zhou Tian’s plan succeeded, all the crises he faced would be resolved.

Of course, on the surface, if Zhou Tian’s plan succeeded, he could alleviate his crisis. At the very least, he could improve his situation through various tactics. However, his plan was not particularly brilliant, and one could guess his purpose with a simple estimation. If the Divine Realm consciousness didn’t fall for it, Zhou Tian’s efforts would have been in vain.

In fact, given the situation, if the Divine Realm consciousness used counter-tactics, Zhou Tian, who was already in a poor state, might encounter unforeseen difficulties. If he couldn’t handle those difficulties effectively, it might lead to his downfall.

Zhou Tian certainly would not accept such outcomes. So looking at his actions, it’s not that his plan was unreliable. However, his actions were definitely risky. If he had other choices, he likely wouldn’t have reacted as he did.

Even though Zhou Tian’s plan appeared unreliable at first, as if the Divine Realm consciousness would never fall for it, in reality, once his plan unfolded, the final outcome seemed to fulfill his purpose.
