Mighty Lord

Chapter 2994: Chapter 977-2

Although until Zhou Tian started the fight with those Divine Kings, the Divine Realm consciousness had not yet taken action. But Zhou Tian was not naive enough to believe that the Divine Realm consciousness would never act. After all, the value of the Abyss World is there, and even if the Divine Realm consciousness lacks wisdom, it knows the benefits of annexing the Abyss World. In the absence of opportunity, the Divine Realm consciousness is unlikely to act, but now there is such a good opportunity. If the Divine Realm consciousness still does not act at that time, then Zhou Tian should be wondering how the Divine Realm developed to this point.

The lack of action only indicates that the Divine Realm consciousness was waiting for the right opportunity, and once it finds a chance for battle, believing its ability at the time could easily take down Zhou Tian, then the Divine Realm consciousness would likely stop being polite to Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian might not feel anything about it unawares, but knowing the existence of the Divine Realm consciousness and its participation in the current battle, it’s impossible to say Zhou Tian wasn’t worried about the Divine Realm consciousness’s actions at that time.

Thus, while fighting with those Divine Kings, Zhou Tian also had to save strength to guard against possible actions of the Divine Realm consciousness. It was precisely because he was in such an unfavorable situation that he chose to execute a seemingly dangerous plan.

If everything progressed as Zhou Tian envisioned, there would be no problem. As long as those Divine Kings separated, their strength couldn’t be consolidated, and even if their response speed was quick, Zhou Tian was confident he could find the enemies’ weaknesses during the combat in the Abyss World. And as long as those Divine Kings revealed a hint of weakness, Zhou Tian wouldn’t believe he couldn’t take them down.

In this way, once Zhou Tian could kill a few Divine Kings, everything else would fall into place.

After all, Zhou Tian saw the battle situation before. Just by killing one member of those Divine Kings, it already frightened the others and made them consider retreating. If Zhou Tian continued to kill other Divine Kings afterward, then all Divine Kings that entered the Abyss World at the time would feel endangered. Because the purpose of those Divine Kings coming to the Abyss World was clear — they just wanted to exploit it. So, if they found it difficult and unexpectedly risky to exploit Zhou Tian, they wouldn’t want to fight him anymore.

And once that situation occurs, Zhou Tian’s opportunity arises.

To directly eliminate all invading Divine Kings, Zhou Tian never considered it, and he was sure that if he dared to undertake such actions, eliminating all Divine Kings would be impossible. Instead, he might suffer at the hands of those Divine Kings.

So from the beginning, Zhou Tian’s goal was clear. He never thought his ability could overwhelm those Divine Kings. Zhou Tian had only one idea: to instill fear in those Divine Kings in a possible circumstance. Only when those Divine Kings genuinely feared his strength could Zhou Tian reveal the truth that they couldn’t leave, thus making the Divine Kings likely to believe it.

Even though Zhou Tian had relations with them, once they saw a chance in the future, those Divine Kings would still likely trouble him. But regardless, even if those Divine Kings resented Zhou Tian at the time, as long as there was no opportunity, they wouldn’t dare confront Zhou Tian due to their fear of death.

And as long as those Divine Kings won’t dare to risk their lives fighting him, Zhou Tian’s goal would be achieved.

What threat does a group of Divine Kings who dare not act against him pose? As long as those Divine Kings won’t dare to act against him, Zhou Tian has ways to thwart the Divine Realm consciousness’s threat. Once the Divine Realm consciousness is driven back, Zhou Tian can consider sending that group of Divine Kings away.

Zhou Tian’s plan cannot be called wrong. Under his arrangements, if events proceeded as he expected, fulfilling his goal wouldn’t be an impossible task. However, it’s clear that although Zhou Tian indeed made a decent plan, the response of those Divine Kings ultimately caused his action at the time to fail.

No matter how well Zhou Tian’s plan was made, if those Divine Kings had no intention of separating, then no matter how much Zhou Tian wanted to deal with them, with them grouped without revealing any weaknesses, he could say nothing would threaten their safety.

For Zhou Tian’s plan to succeed, the precondition was that he had to instill fear in those Divine Kings. If Zhou Tian didn’t frighten them, even if he didn’t want to fight them, those Divine Kings distrusting Zhou Tian couldn’t have a peaceful conversation with him.

Thus, if Zhou Tian’s plan progresses smoothly, he will have the opportunity to negotiate with those Divine Kings. Ultimately, if he convinces them to retreat, fulfilling his goal would not be difficult.

But evidently, according to the situation at the time, persuading those Divine Kings was proving difficult.

As long as those Divine Kings wouldn’t separate, Zhou Tian had no opportunity. With no opportunity, his original plans couldn’t start, marking a basically failed outcome.

If Zhou Tian were willing to wait, given enough time, those Divine Kings might separate eventually. Considering their nature, even if they behaved beyond Zhou Tian’s expectations, Zhou Tian believed nothing was wrong with his thinking. Thus, with enough time, there was a high likelihood those Divine Kings would go their separate ways.

However, even though Zhou Tian could determine that if those Divine Kings stayed together, they might separate based on his plan, the current issue was that it was irrelevant even if those Divine Kings separated eventually.

Why did Zhou Tian take such a big risk to execute that plan at this time? He simply had no time to waste, having to drive away the invading Divine Kings quickly to prevent the Divine Realm consciousness’s invasion. Otherwise, with prolonged time, despite not knowing why the Divine Realm consciousness hasn’t yet acted, no one could guarantee it wouldn’t act given more time.

The Divine Realm consciousness was Zhou Tian’s greatest threat, so if time dragged on, who could guarantee it wouldn’t act? Considering the Divine Realm consciousness’s strength, any action from it wouldn’t be good news for Zhou Tian.

Though Zhou Tian had full confidence that he could ensure those Divine Kings would eventually separate, he just didn’t have the time to wait due to his situation at the time. Seeing those Divine Kings not separating as he thought, Zhou Tian had no choice but to act then, making everything develop according to his plan. (To be continued.
