Chapter 3051: 1005_2

Although everything was progressing smoothly, this did not mean that Zhou Tian faced no pressure while executing those actions. After all, his enemies’ Strength was formidable at the time, and despite Zhou Tian’s own Strength, the possibility of his plan eventually ending in Failure was ever present. He was neither weak nor in a favorable position, with numerous Enemies wanting to confront him. If even one step of his Action went wrong, it would spell the end for Zhou Tian’s entire plan. Thus, despite no real Accident occurring at the time, the Diligence to Guarantee the plan’s flawless execution, constantly requiring effort behind the scenes for such a long duration, certainly left Zhou Tian feeling strained.

Previously, as his plan had just commenced, Zhou Tian was unaware of the ultimate outcome, which led him to wholly focus his mind on the plan, leaving no Energy to consider other matters.

But now, when Zhou Tian’s plan seemed on the brink of achieving Success, viewing the fruits of his Diligence, if unforeseen obstacles didn’t arise, his objective would be attained, which naturally led Zhou Tian to experience some spiritual fatigue.

Of course, given Zhou Tian’s physical robustness, he wouldn’t truly feel tired; it was merely a mental sluggishness. At that point, with his plan nearing completion where he only awaited the results to accomplish his goals, even this minimal mental laxity didn’t truly impede his plan. At least for Zhou Tian at the time, wrapping up the plan was still within reach.

Even though Zhou Tian’s mental relaxation didn’t substantially impact his plan, any influence, however slight, still held significance. In Actions of that nature, spiritual attunement is crucial, as Zhou Tian relied on Abyssal Consciousness Powers to constrain the World Consciousness, preventing any targeted Action from that world against him.

Indeed, prior to this, Zhou Tian’s Actions proceeded rather easily, with his grasp over the Abyss World enabling direct impact on the World Consciousness through Abyssal Consciousness. Upon reaching a certain Standard of assimilation, Zhou Tian effectively attained the Ability to freely navigate within its Internal atmosphere.

Previously, so long as Zhou Tian remained behind the scenes, regardless of his many Activities, the World Consciousness was unlikely to take Action against him. Given the World Consciousness’s thinking pattern, Zhou Tian was considered harmless as long as he refrained from antagonistic Actions, despite it being unwelcoming of Zhou Tian’s presence, it saw no need to expel him.

Thus, originally based on the World Consciousness’s logic, Zhou Tian was directly disregarded, and under such disregarding premises, his Safety was assured in that Environment.

Yet, as Zhou Tian’s plan smoothly progressed, achieving the ability to act freely within that world, the state of non-action was stable. However, having attained Activation Ability, Zhou Tian’s endeavors greatly altered the World Consciousness’s perception of him, despite Abyssal Consciousness’s assistance ensuring minimal adverse effects.

Like a stepchild beside the cherished child, although the World Rules faced invasive erosion, which limited its ability to act against Zhou Tian, in the World Consciousness’s view, distinctions between Zhou Tian and indigenous creatures persisted.

Thus, if indigenous creatures caused trouble, unless the calamity was severe, the World Consciousness might not act against them; however, for a foreign being like Zhou Tian, even minor errors would appear greatly magnified in its perspective.

Given the circumstances, theoretically, after executing those Actions things should not have Alerted the World Consciousness. With no Action from the Gods in that world, and other creatures lacking the Method to detect Zhou Tian, his plan seemingly assured to proceed smoothly towards Annexation of that world.

However, Zhou Tian miscalculated the World Consciousness’s Response.

Zhou Tian anticipated the World Consciousness wouldn’t interfere with his Actions, believing at that near-Success point the World Consciousness would remain oblivious, facilitating Annexation, allowing Zhou Tian to pursue other endeavours post-annexation.

But Zhou Tian didn’t foresee how despite the World Consciousness’s simplistic Thinking capability, not arranging any defensive Deployment against Zhou Tian’s plan, thereby letting it progress smoothly, absence of unexpected disturbances would surely ensure Annexation.

Yet, behold Zhou Tian’s underestimation of conflict pressures within that world permitted him to personally Take Action without expecting restraint. Even without causing extensive damage due to his Action, it still attracted the World Consciousness’s attention.

All things proceeded according to Zhou Tian’s calculations, as Abyssal Rules reached invasive levels sufficient to overwhelm the World Consciousness’s intervention capabilities against him. With only this World Consciousness and Gods possibly posing Threats, should they fail to form an Alliance, defeating Zhou Tian seemed implausible, and absent direct Action, his plan faced minimal Problems.

Nevertheless, though direct Action by World Consciousness wasn’t possible, theoretically not impacting his plan significantly, effectively it was supposed to ensue smoothly, with Zhou Tian’s desired effect achieved. Capturing the World Consciousness wasn’t expected to present any Issue.

However, due to the World Consciousness focusing intently on Zhou Tian, any Action magnified its influence significantly, although these magnified influences barely provided any Help, mostly proving detrimental.

Indeed, as Zhou Tian laxed awareness of that world’s changes due to spiritual relaxation, upon the World Consciousness’s Influence manifesting, although his plan didn’t directly result in Failure at that time, Effects still ensued.

While Zhou Tian cultivated numerous powerful individuals, instigating their grudges against certain factions, igniting Combat, yielding results from those Actions, traces related to him inevitably surfaced.

Initially, even if those sudden emergence of powerful figures linked with Zhou Tian behind-the-scenes, due to his absence from prominence, lacking sufficient Information for factions to probe deeper, though some factions discerned Zhou Tian’s presence as a covert BOSS, estimating under those circumstances proved futile against him.
