Chapter 3056: 1008

Eliminating Zhou Tian would only remove a potential threat for them, but if they could conquer Zhou Tian, their gains would be substantial. Although they were unaware of Zhou Tian’s identity, those forces understood that if Zhou Tian were to "create" an Abyssal Power System, given enough time, becoming a high-level figure within the Divine Race would be inevitable. If they could draw Zhou Tian into their camp at present, it would be beneficial not only in the future but also immediately.

Thus, faced with the tremendous benefits of conquering Zhou Tian, those forces, despite having great inherent dislike towards him, ultimately had to restrain the impulse to directly attack Zhou Tian due to his value.

As a result, given the situation at the time, since those forces had the idea of utilizing Zhou Tian, they opted not to attack him immediately but instead chose to send people to interact with him, hoping to compel Zhou Tian to join their camp based on the strength they displayed.

Only...

"A bunch of trash, throw them all back!"

The idea those forces had was indeed correct; if Zhou Tian were to join their camp, it would provide immense help to them, even possibly enhancing their power a hundredfold or thousandfold with his own strength. But the question remained: would Zhou Tian consider joining those forces?

Clearly, it was absolutely impossible.

Zhou Tian’s strength and identity were beyond comparison; his status and power surpassed even the biggest bosses behind those forces. The actions of those forces not only failed to interest Zhou Tian but were instead perceived as an insult. At least, all knowledgeable about Zhou Tian’s identity and strength would categorically refuse to believe he would join such "small forces."

Thus, regardless of Zhou Tian’s purpose in entering the current world this time, given his conditions, it was impossible for those forces to persuade him. Under the conditions at that time, Zhou Tian did not even bother to hear their terms and directly demonstrated his stance through action.

Without saying a word, Zhou Tian ordered his temporarily organized followers to send back those so-called envoys. If he had any regard for those forces, Zhou Tian might have even eliminated those envoys to express his attitude.

From Zhou Tian’s perspective, those forces were utterly unqualified to make such an offer; it was gracious of him not to trouble them over this matter. His actions had no wrongdoing.

However, despite Zhou Tian’s thoughts, those forces that came to confront him did not share his perspective.

For those forces, Zhou Tian was the target they prepared to tackle; the value he held caused them to change their decision temporarily. Though initially ready to eliminate Zhou Tian swiftly, they decided to interact with him first and see if it was possible to recruit him.

Thus, concerning the situation at the time, those forces definitely did not think their attempt to recruit Zhou Tian was wrong. Even aligning with Zhou Tian’s view, irrespective of Zhou Tian’s future achievements, those forces believed recruiting him gave him a path to life, which could be seen as an elevation for him.

As those forces saw it at the time, providing Zhou Tian with a path and deciding to recruit him was a difficult concession to make, but Zhou Tian’s behavior was incomprehensible to them, and naturally, they could not accept Zhou Tian’s performance at that moment.

Therefore, given the situation at the time, since those forces could not accept Zhou Tian’s reaction, upon witnessing Zhou Tian’s act of eliminating the envoys they sent, it was clear those forces would not sit idly by.

"Kill that bastard for me!"

Initially, displeased with Zhou Tian, those forces only endured because Zhou Tian could bring them great benefit. But when Zhou Tian acted like he did, unable to accept his behavior, that group of forces no longer held back on their intention to deal with him and directly issued the attack command.

As a result, upon the command from those forces, teams composed of various living beings rushed toward Zhou Tian’s location. Most of those beings possessed considerable strength, and given their numbers, even the strongest people in that world would likely choose to flee when faced with such a formation.

Because in that world at the time, facing such an offensive, those forces believed they could conquer nearly all strong individuals they had seen. So, when deciding to confront Zhou Tian and launching such an offensive, the higher levels of those forces believed victory was assured, merely waiting for the news of it.

Only...

As the higher levels of those forces saw it at the time, given their strength, dealing with a small-time Zhou Tian would surely be no problem. Estimating that once surrounded by their large army, a single encirclement action would be sufficient to eliminate Zhou Tian as a threat.
