Chapter 3033: 997: Seizing a Stronghold

Just like miscellaneous brands are not as reassuring as famous brands in terms of quality, and private enterprises don’t seem as strong as state-owned enterprises, although this might not actually be the case, without a foothold to show them, even if Zhou Tian is not a fraud, when he imparts the abyssal power to those living beings, they will always worry that everything Zhou Tian says is a deception, and no matter how diligently they try, they ultimately might not gain anything from Zhou Tian. Therefore, while it doesn’t mean that if he lost that foothold, Zhou Tian wouldn’t have been able to execute his plan. However, if he truly didn’t establish such a presence, what initially might have been a simple plan for him would end up being needlessly complicated.

With one more foothold, Zhou Tian’s words would carry more weight. The living beings of that world would not know Zhou Tian’s identity, so when faced with Zhou Tian’s preaching, they would often make decisions based on their own subjective judgments. Thus, seeing that Zhou Tian has such a foundation in that world, those living beings would think that with such a vast foundation, Zhou Tian couldn’t possibly be a fraud. So, whether or not they are really interested in Zhou Tian’s spoken abyssal power, at least they wouldn’t mind trying to cultivate a little out of curiosity.

And Zhou Tian is extremely confident in the abyssal power he brings. Although compared to the traditional rule powers of the Divine Realm, the abyssal power still has unsatisfactory aspects in certain areas, it does not match the power system of the Divine Realm. Yet when compared to ordinary worlds, even those with an advanced world’s power system, Zhou Tian is confident that the abyssal power he brings can completely overwhelm them. After all, compared to ordinary worlds, the abyssal world under Zhou Tian’s control would autonomously strengthen its internal power system. Although it’s not at its ultimate stage yet, based on its existing advantages, the abyssal power in comparison to the power systems of most ordinary worlds definitely holds the advantage.

So, if the living beings of that world at that time did not believe in Zhou Tian and refused to cultivate the abyssal power, then no matter how powerful Zhou Tian was, in such an environment at that time, he possibly couldn’t do much. After all, if the living beings of that world did not cooperate, Zhou Tian would have no method to exert his strength.

According to Zhou Tian’s plan, since he couldn’t easily reveal his immense strength, giving the living beings of that world confidence to try cultivating the abyssal power became his direction of diligence at that time. And Zhou Tian’s advantage at that time was evident; as long as he could get some of the living beings of that world to start cultivating the abyssal power, then with their support, even if the World Consciousness of that world wanted to suppress Zhou Tian, it would likely be impossible.

And if there was no way to suppress Zhou Tian, then Zhou Tian could naturally unleash his strength in that world. In this way, without having his strength diminished, he would be confident in protecting himself no matter what kind of enemies he faced at that time.

Thus, having corresponding confidence in his plan, believing that following his plan would ultimately achieve his goals, since at that moment he thought that seizing a piece of territory would be advantageous to his plan, Zhou Tian naturally prepared decisively to seize a territory then.

Although Zhou Tian had previously decided not to easily exhibit his full strength for the smooth implementation of his plan, given the strength standards in that world, even if Zhou Tian couldn’t fully unleash his strength at that time, just trying to clean up that group of indigenous creatures shouldn’t pose any real difficulty.

After all, when comparing Zhou Tian’s strength to the living beings of that world, it was exceptionally superior. Thus, without considering the response of the World Consciousness at that time, based on Zhou Tian’s strength, even without exerting his full strength, dealing with the living beings of that world probably wouldn’t present any challenge.

Even if, at present, Zhou Tian had various limitations while attempting to seize territory, given his strength, truly attempting to take a piece of territory at that time probably wouldn’t encounter any problems. After all, in terms of strength, taking down any force in that world at that time wouldn’t be an issue for Zhou Tian. Based on his strength, even without knowing Zhou Tian’s details, it’s unlikely that the living beings of that world would risk everything to drive him away.

Therefore, since Zhou Tian deemed it as having no difficulty given his strength to undertake such actions at that time, he decisively commenced his action then. Given the situation at that time, once Zhou Tian selected his target, without needing to consider anything else, he could just take action to seize that territory.
