Chapter 2492: Chapter 798:
Of course, even if that Divine King were to learn of Zhou Tian’s ability at this moment, it is likely that he would still be powerless to do anything. After all, from all perspectives, the God Emperor’s treasure’s seal could not be broken by the Divine King, and without eliminating Zhou Tian, it would be very difficult for him to leave the treasure space.
Although the Divine King was confident in seizing the God Emperor’s treasure from Zhou Tian, in reality, once they confronted each other, the development of events was not something the Divine King could control.
In fact, although it appeared that Zhou Tian suffered a slight loss in the Divine King’s hands at that time, in reality, the two sides were merely engaging in probing attacks, and now that Zhou Tian had probed the opponent’s details, it was time to launch a counterattack.
As a result, after Zhou Tian made the decision to counterattack, he naturally began to pose a threat to the Divine King.
Before this, did Zhou Tian and the Divine King engage in combat without using their full strength?
From the perspective of personal ability, it can be said that Zhou Tian at that time used his full strength. In the confrontation with the Divine King, except for the rule abilities used by the opponent that were weakened, Zhou Tian had already amplified all his rule abilities with the strength of the God Emperor’s treasure and combined them.
However, because the enemies were too powerful at the time, Zhou Tian did not gain the upper hand.
Although Zhou Tian, in terms of personal effort, had already displayed his strongest combat power, this does not mean that he had used his strongest tactics against the Divine King.
From the very beginning, Zhou Tian actually did not intend to deal with the Divine King by himself.
Even if Zhou Tian originally had no concept of the difference in strength between the Divine King and the True Gods, after witnessing the performance of the Space God King, he basically realized that he would not be a match for the opponent.
Thus, in the absence of the ability to defeat the Divine King on his own, he naturally had already considered early on what to do when facing the Divine King in order to have winning odds at that time.
Zhou Tian had also formulated a plan in this regard early on.
In the situation where it was utterly impossible to defeat the Divine King himself, he would make full use of the power of the God Emperor’s treasure in his possession. The God Emperor’s treasure could amplify the strength of allies within the treasure space, so he decided to find more allies. Even if the Divine King is powerful, Zhou Tian alone could not be a match, but if hundreds or thousands of True Gods whose strength had been enhanced by the God Emperor’s treasure joined forces, then not to mention a single Divine King, even a squadron of Divine Kings would eventually be killed by him.
Although problems kept occurring during the implementation of the plan, in terms of the plan itself, Zhou Tian’s idea was indeed quite viable.
Despite encountering many problems, Zhou Tian never abandoned that plan. With his series of diligent efforts, Zhou Tian’s plan from a certain perspective had acquired the possibility of being implemented.
During that previous period, Zhou Tian had cultivated many True Gods, and although Zhou Tian could not guarantee their loyalty, except for a small number of members released from the treasure space, most were still kept within it.
Even though due to temptations from other forces, the True Gods cultivated by Zhou Tian might not be as loyal as they seemed, Zhou Tian could barely control them using his original authority.
At present, if Zhou Tian directly told those under him that he intended to ally with them to fight against a Divine King, it is estimated that not many True Gods would act with him at that moment. In fact, if things went wrong, quite a few True Gods under Zhou Tian might choose to betray him.
There wasn’t any other reason; such a situation would arise mainly because the enemy’s strength was too strong, and also because Zhou Tian’s current authority was insufficient to completely suppress the True Gods under him.
After all, the primary reason why the True Gods under Zhou Tian had not betrayed him was that Zhou Tian had killed all those True Gods who originally betrayed him. As a result, those True Gods did not dare to make such a response for a time, and Zhou Tian’s grace in cultivating them was actually not something those True Gods held in high regard.
It was precisely because Zhou Tian had no means to completely suppress those True Gods that, when facing the Divine King, his lack of confidence showed.
Otherwise, considering Zhou Tian’s situation, it is not to say that he should proactively seek trouble with the Space God King, but he also shouldn’t be so fearful of the opponent.
Nevertheless, since the Divine King is now actively seeking him out, even if Zhou Tian did not want to fight him, the opponent would not allow it at that time.
It was precisely because the Divine King had sought him out that, even if Zhou Tian’s plan had not been fully prepared, and even if he did not trust his True Gods much at that time, he was still determined to proceed with what needed to be done.
Directly informing the True Gods under him of the true situation, Zhou Tian was not confident that his True Gods would not betray him. However, given the circumstances at that time, Zhou Tian knew that if he did not inform those True Gods of the situation, they would probably still temporarily not disobey his orders.
