Chapter 3054: 1007

The only forces unable to coexist peacefully with Zhou Tian were naturally those that originally ruled the world at that time. It’s an obvious situation. Without Zhou Tian, although the world didn’t belong to them, it was actually managed by them. Thus, no matter who would overthrow the rule of that Divine King, they would certainly not be treated as well as they were now.

So, unless the forces under that Divine King rebel at that time, based on the status and power of those forces at the time, unless there is a special situation, they may not be truly loyal to that Divine King, but in general, they definitely wouldn’t sit by and let anyone annex that world. Whenever possible, they would eliminate all threats that might annex that world.

And in that situation at the time, it’s clear to imagine that if the ruling forces of that world were aware of Zhou Tian’s existence, they would inevitably take some action. They wouldn’t inquire who Zhou Tian was; as long as they knew that there was an unstable factor like Zhou Tian in that world, they would use their own strength to eliminate Zhou Tian.

However...

In theory, what kind of response those top forces would have was something others could probably estimate. And since they already knew those top forces could not possibly let Zhou Tian have it easy, it’s clear to imagine that Zhou Tian and the forces wanting to cooperate with him would definitely not let those top forces get the relevant news.

It’s precisely because Zhou Tian estimated that those forces had no possibility of selling out the news that he didn’t concern himself with the possibility of leaked news at the time. After all, leaked news wasn’t a good thing for those forces either, and Zhou Tian determined they wouldn’t act that way, so he didn’t concern himself with such possibilities.

Yet, during the time Zhou Tian didn’t concern himself with that matter, he never considered that theoretically, those forces weren’t likely to do things that harm themselves for others’ benefit. But what if the World Consciousness exerted effort in this?

Although at that time, the current World Consciousness no longer posed any threat to Zhou Tian, not to mention wanting to finish off Zhou Tian, it had already become incredibly difficult for it to even weaken Zhou Tian. However, although the World Consciousness of that world posed no threat to Zhou Tian at that time, this doesn’t mean that its strength was weak.

In fact, the reason Zhou Tian could ignore the World Consciousness of that world was, firstly, because his own strength was quite powerful, and although the World Consciousness wanted to deal with him, it was difficult to pose a threat using ordinary tactics. So, with the opponent unable to truly threaten him, Zhou Tian naturally did not need to be concerned.

Another reason, which was the main one, was that Zhou Tian had support from Abyssal Consciousness, although at first, it was difficult for it to be helpful. But after Zhou Tian put forth effort for a long time, allowing the Abyssal Rules to have a significant impact in that world, Zhou Tian, with the help of Abyssal Consciousness, naturally did not need to concern himself with the World Consciousness of that world.

With various conditions, Zhou Tian didn’t need to concern himself with the World Consciousness of that world, but how many living beings have such conditions? For most living beings, regardless of their strength, the World Consciousness could still have a significant impact on them.

Thus, although Zhou Tian’s idea at that time wasn’t wrong, theoretically, those forces that valued his Ability would definitely not sell him out. Even if they were aware of his news, they would certainly keep it hidden. But because there was the World Consciousness exerting effort, it was impossible for those forces to hide successfully.

It was no surprise then that, under the influence of the World Consciousness at that time, the news that should have been hidden was directly sold to those top forces due to some living beings wanting to use it to gain wealth and fame.

Under normal circumstances, those top forces, accustomed to wield authority in that world, wouldn’t pay attention to any living beings in that world. Thus, even if they obtained such news, they likely would still be indifferent. Even if aware of Zhou Tian’s existence, the most likely response at that time would still be to pretend they hadn’t heard anything.

However, under normal circumstances, those top forces were unlikely to pay attention to such news. Even if confirming the existence of someone like Zhou Tian, before Zhou Tian revealed any intention to seize power, those forces were unlikely to target him wholeheartedly.

Nevertheless, although under normal circumstances it seemed unlikely those top forces would target Zhou Tian, at that time, due to the influence of the World Consciousness, anything could happen.

For instance, those top forces did not initially pay much attention to Zhou Tian. Even if they obtained related news about Zhou Tian, they wouldn’t care much either. The greatest possibility was those forces directly regarded Zhou Tian as an observation target and didn’t bother to deal with him until Zhou Tian took corresponding actions.
