Chapter 2767: Chapter 866: Unexpected Acceleration
"Tsk, so slow!"
Although extensive preparations had been made, ultimately the Abyss World wasn’t much stronger than that world it intended to annex. At least under the current circumstances, with the Abyss World’s energy damaged, it was indeed somewhat challenging to annex that world.
Given the situation at the time, barring any accidents, the Abyss World certainly had the ability to annex that world in the end. However, under Zhou Tian’s perception, it seemed that annexing that world would take an indeterminate amount of time.
It could be months, or even years. Now that this world bordered the Abyss World, the flow of time had already synchronized with that of the Abyss World. Although the Abyss World was still at a low level, due to Zhou Tian intentionally altering its internal energy, its quality was not inferior to much higher-level worlds. In such circumstances, the flow of time in the Abyss World wasn’t much slower than the Divine Realm.
Without a doubt, Zhou Tian wasn’t hoping to waste too much time on that world at the time. After all, even if the Abyss World devoured that world, it didn’t guarantee a scheme against the Divine Realm. Although annexing a world would yield some gains, the current level of the Abyss World meant that annexing a small world wouldn’t strengthen it significantly.
Thus, Zhou Tian would certainly have the Abyss World continuously annex other worlds since expansion in this manner was the simplest and most effective method.
However, since annexing that world wasn’t particularly beneficial at the moment, it required Zhou Tian to invest a lot of time. Upon realizing this, Zhou Tian naturally felt dissatisfied.
Unfortunately, evolution itself is a rather slow process. If the Abyss World could annex a world within a certain period, that speed couldn’t be considered slow. Hence, no matter how dissatisfied Zhou Tian was with the annexation speed of the Abyss World, he could only endure it for now.
Yet, just as Zhou Tian was feeling dissatisfied with the Abyss World’s annexation speed, an unexpected event occurred abruptly at that time.
According to the situation at the time, it theoretically required a certain period for the Abyss World to annex that world. But just when Zhou Tian had already mentally prepared to spend a lot of time to annex that world, an unexpected change occurred during the annexation process, significantly accelerating the Abyss World’s annexation speed.
Unquestionably, during the annexation of that world by the Abyss World, the various anomalies must have seemed like the end of the world for the living beings in that world. They certainly couldn’t do anything about all those changes, so regardless of what changes would occur next, those living beings at that time could only resign themselves to their fate.
Originally, the annexation of that world by the Abyss World had nothing to do with those living beings. Yet, who would’ve expected that seemingly insignificant group of living beings to backstab the world they lived in at the end.
"What a delightful surprise!"
Zhou Tian hadn’t issued any related instructions, but at the time, that group of angels invaded the world using their most adept method. It was precisely before that invasion method proficiently used by the angels that the world was breached, welcoming the unwelcome guest from the Abyss World.
What are angels best at?
Swaying hearts, leveraging religious faith to elevate themselves, and while doing evil deeds, making others believe they were doing good. The informed living beings surely hated them bitterly, but those unaware would mostly regard them as objects of faith.
In that world at the time, the angels under Zhou Tian’s rule instinctively used their tactics. After reaching this world, they appeared as saviors before the living beings, using their formidable strength to intimidate the authorities while helping ordinary living beings with their abilities. Such carrot and stick tactics quickly made them objects of faith among the living beings of that world.
As a result, an amusing scene unfolded.
As Zhou Tian, the invader, was devouring the world where those living beings resided, witnessing the world’s various changes, those living beings, in fear, directly prayed to the angels. This situation immediately became the last straw that broke the camel’s back for that world.
The indigenous creatures had already defected early on, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Once they made that move, the world consciousness of that world inevitably was influenced. Thus, the firm resistance to the Abyss World’s annexation wavered, and due to those living beings’ response, Zhou Tian’s annexation difficulty of that world significantly lessened. As their side’s actions became more favorable, and the resistance of that world wasn’t as resolute, the Abyss World’s annexation of that world naturally became much easier.
