Chapter 2771: Chapter 867: Expansion of the Abyss World
The angels believe that as long as they can corrupt each world to the extent that the Abyssal World can annex it, they will undoubtedly achieve great feats. Although Zhou Tian did not explicitly promise them any rewards, judging by past circumstances, receiving a reward of a Sky City could mean a strengthening of several folds in their power, which seems entirely possible!
With this in mind, even without Zhou Tian’s direct involvement, those angels independently initiated corresponding actions at that time.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Tian left some different world space coordinates in the minds of those angels. Given their abilities, they naturally did not need Zhou Tian’s help to enter those worlds. Thus, after Zhou Tian offered rewards and secretly prompted the emergence of those changes, those angels quickly grouped in threes and fours and embarked toward the lower realm.
The angels’ performance did not disappoint Zhou Tian. As they entered those lower worlds in batches, due to their actions, the Abyssal World soon ushered in a rapid expansion period.
The angels did not act as before directly with thousands of members, thereby their speed in corrupting other worlds would not be as strong as initially. In such a scenario, Zhou Tian realized thinking of annexing those lower worlds after just tens of minutes was unrealistic.
However, even if speed was impacted, considering the angels opted for a divide-and-conquer strategy, the expansion speed of the Abyssal World was only faster, not slower than before.
The squad of angels’ world corruption speed definitely could not match the effect of a large troop movement. However, after they divided forces, even though the speed slowed, given the situation, the quantity of worlds corrupted by angels was exceptionally large.
Thus, when they targeted eleven or even dozens of worlds simultaneously, though the speed was slower, once the outcomes emerged, Zhou Tian controlling the Abyssal World could harvest a great amount of world resources in one go. If things really developed like that, Zhou Tian knew the gains would undoubtedly be substantial.
In fact, the Abyssal World had not yet consumed the gains from the first world annexation, but immediately sensed an angel had successfully corrupted a world, allowing it to annex that world simply by bringing the Abyssal World’s consciousness there.
With the previous experience, annexing those worlds next felt smoothly familiar to Zhou Tian.
Through religious beliefs, the residents within those worlds were drawn into the Abyssal World’s camp, then dismantling their fighting spirit allowed Zhou Tian to annex those worlds, using the Abyssal World’s advantages, without difficulty.
One world after another was annexed by Zhou Tian using that method; having annexed a large number of lower worlds, naturally, the Abyssal World started showing evolutionary traits.
Abyssal energy increased, its concentration directly hundreds of times denser than initially, although still lacking compared to the Divine Realm; yet, competing with most medium worlds, in terms of internal energy alone, the Abyssal World had already surpassed those worlds significantly.
Moreover, the Abyssal World’s area expanded almost tenfold, with internal geology greatly reinforced. Magma temperature exceeded a thousand degrees, hinting at forming hellfire under Zhou Tian’s deployment. Ordinary flat ground characteristics significantly changed, preventing apocalyptic destruction merely from casual combat.
More crucially, after annexing numerous different worlds, the number of demons within the Abyssal World started increasingly rapidly.
Worlds annexed by the Abyssal World saw their living beings transform into demon larvae, eventually through mutual devouring by countless larvae, unbeknownst, the Abyssal World gained billions of little devils during that period.
Even though at present, those little devils hold no status in the Abyssal World based on their power, mostly struggling in the wilderness or serving as servants to angels. Under such circumstances, the devils, meant to be the mainstream living beings, have yet to unleash their power.
However, all that doesn’t matter. For Zhou Tian, while the changes in the Abyssal World couldn’t be ignored, what mattered more to him was whether these changes could help rescue his true self.
Having obtained the Abyssal World, not rescuing his true self brought advantages to Zhou Tian’s clone, essentially.
