Chapter 3047: 1003_2

Let’s not mention, the value created by an advanced world itself counts as considerable income for a Divine King. At that time, losing an advanced world would be sufficient to deeply wound a Divine King’s power. To prevent harm to their benefit, any Divine King whose territory is threatened will inevitably choose to resist. Moreover, if at that time their territory were truly seized, it would be a disgraceful matter for the Divine King. Thus, to preserve their face, without any necessity, the Divine King would not allow such a situation to occur.

Hence, whether for benefit or face, upon discovering Zhou Tian as the invader, the Divine King ruling that world would inevitably take some action. Generally, the Divine King couldn’t possibly be Zhou Tian’s opponent. However, on their territory, with the world consciousness of that time-world assisting, as long as Zhou Tian provoked the counterattack of that world consciousness, with its help, the Divine King would surely possess the ability to threaten Zhou Tian, despite originally being weaker.

Furthermore, although Zhou Tian’s strength compared to an ordinary Divine King was certainly superior, it nevertheless led him to offend many Divine Kings. In the Divine Realm, Zhou Tian was truly surrounded by enemies. In such circumstances, even if the Divine King couldn’t fight Zhou Tian alone, if they wished, by spreading the news of Zhou Tian’s presence, surely many Divine Kings willing to confront him wouldn’t be few!

In either case, Zhou Tian would face enormous pressure, and under such pressure, although Zhou Tian might retreat safely, wishing to annex that world amid such forces was simply dreaming.

Therefore, upon entering that world, Zhou Tian was already keenly aware of all this. To ensure his plan’s success, Zhou Tian had been cautiously avoiding making too much commotion beforehand. Otherwise, given Zhou Tian’s strength, had he truly been intent, immediately upon descending into this world, he would seek out those powerful factions, and regardless of success, eliminate them and reveal the power of the Abyss to the living beings, which he could surely accomplish.

Given Zhou Tian’s situation then, he knew clearly that if faced with strong resistance and the cultivators he nurtured were targeted by other factions, he would most likely choose to watch indifferently. He wouldn’t destroy his plan to annex that world for the sake of those powerhouses he created, no matter what.

Thus, since Zhou Tian then couldn’t possibly expose his strength for a few nurtured powerhouses, he naturally wouldn’t make too much of a commotion.

Of course, the significant commotion Zhou Tian referred to would directly alert the world consciousness or the ruling Divine King. Otherwise, if Zhou Tian dared not stir any commotion at all, he couldn’t possibly achieve his plan. After all, without making any noise, Zhou Tian certainly couldn’t let his nurtured forces engage in combat with the living beings, and without combat, any powerful nurturing forces wouldn’t be able to be promoted.

War is the fundamental driving force, and even if Zhou Tian provided a force strong but unwilling to fight, other factions knowing of it wouldn’t let them go. And in such a scenario, Zhou Tian’s diligence would be in vain.

Moreover, according to Zhou Tian’s plan, fighting is the fastest and most effective means to achieve his goals. Without fighting, given the abyss world’s inherent rate of corroding the world, Divine Realm might succeed before Zhou Tian annexes that world.

Therefore, combat was inevitable for Zhou Tian, only he couldn’t act at that moment. Apart from not acting, he eagerly wished for his subordinates with abyssal power to engage the cultivators of the native power system in combat.

Given the circumstances, Zhou Tian’s ideas might seem contradictory, but if he controlled the degree well, achieving his goals wouldn’t be as difficult as it seemed.

It’s not necessarily true that Zhou Tian’s nurtured forces fighting living beings would immediately draw attention from the Divine King. At that time, annexing the world for Zhou Tian was much easier than annexing Paradise World.

Besides not being comparable in overall strength with Paradise World, the environment in the world Zhou Tian targeted was also particularly suitable for executing his series of plans.

The power system in that world was inherently complex. Even if odd special powers emerged, it wasn’t unacceptable. Maybe upon obtaining this world, the Divine King would find it curious and occasionally monitor the newly appeared special powers.

However, no matter what, the Divine King couldn’t suspect that the energies sensed were from outside. Especially, at that time, the Divine King wouldn’t think the power came from Zhou Tian, nor that Zhou Tian aimed to use it to annex his ruled world.

Hence, if learning of Zhou Tian’s intentions then, the Divine King would surely not let such a situation occur. Upon knowing, the Divine King would wholeheartedly obstruct Zhou Tian’s actions. But at that time, because the Divine King was unaware of Zhou Tian’s intended actions, and didn’t pay attention to the abilities Zhou Tian introduced, the future outcome was predictable.

From any perspective, Zhou Tian’s plan was progressing excellently. Given that neither the Divine King nor the world consciousness had noticed Zhou Tian’s minor actions or responded, under these circumstances, if Zhou Tian continued his plan, it’s imaginable and predictable that the Divine King might forever lose control over that world.

For Zhou Tian, he needn’t consider the Divine King too seriously. If the advanced world’s world consciousness supported the Divine King, fighting with them would still make Zhou Tian cautious, possibly not even being an opponent. But without the world consciousness’s support, Zhou Tian needn’t regard fighting them.

So, the more smoothly Zhou Tian’s plan progressed, the less he would regard the enemy. Once the world corroded to a sufficient standard, making it unable to support opposing forces, given Zhou Tian’s current strength, even if he forcefully seized the Divine King’s territory, the Divine King would only watch helplessly.

Therefore, since his plan could achieve his goals if successfully implemented, Zhou Tian naturally prepared to forcibly pursue his plan. Given the situation, if Zhou Tian continued, he would certainly achieve his goals. Thus, even using other means to smooth the plan was acceptable for Zhou Tian.
