Chapter 2774: Chapter 868_2
Unlike the lower worlds, what kind of strong forces can there be in the lower worlds?
Thus, when Zhou Tian sent his angels to those realms, even the weakest two-winged angels were seen as invincible by the residents there. When these angels showed some goodwill and granted them great powers, those living beings naturally couldn’t refuse the allure of these angels. As a result, in a short time, they began to believe in the angels, either actively or passively.
However, in the middle worlds, although the same tactics are effective everywhere, the presence of strong forces in those middle worlds at the time made it significantly more challenging for the angels to preach.
The main reason preaching was so smooth in the lower worlds wasn’t just because those angels were persuasive, but because they were strong enough. When they encountered living beings who refused to believe in them no matter what, the Angel Race often resorted to force to eliminate them.
As a result, those living beings who believed in the angels gained powerful strength, while those who refused were basically wiped out. Given the situation at the time, it was clear what choices the living beings in those worlds would make.
There was essentially no choice to be made: either believe in them or die. It was precisely because of their formidable strength that Zhou Tian’s angels could easily achieve such great results in the lower realm.
But when it came to the middle worlds, things didn’t go as smoothly. Although the living beings in the middle worlds weren’t as powerful as the deities in the Divine Realm, some truly top-notch strong forces had considerable strength. At the very least, if those forces wanted to fight the angels, they had the power to threaten them.
Clearly, it was because those forces possessed such strength that when Zhou Tian sent his angels, the outcome was as it was.
Either all the angels who entered that world were wiped out immediately upon discovery, or they barely integrated into that world, but the speed of preaching was not fast. In the given circumstances, Zhou Tian realized that without a few thousand years, it would be somewhat difficult to carry out a full invasive action against the middle worlds.
Faced with that situation, Zhou Tian didn’t have any particularly good methods. After all, those middle worlds had such strength internally. Even if Zhou Tian was unhappy, he couldn’t weaken the living beings in those worlds. So, although he wasn’t very satisfied, being in that environment at the time, all he could do was use various methods to accelerate the progress of his actions.
The first thing Zhou Tian did was to increase the scale of aggression against the lower worlds. Since the middle worlds were difficult to conquer, he decided to start with the lower worlds. This way, it wouldn’t slow down the expansion of the Abyss World, and annexing those lower worlds, no matter how small the gains, could supplement the consumption of annexing the middle worlds.
So, given Zhou Tian’s circumstances, it was impossible for him to stop the annexation actions against those lower worlds. Under those circumstances, although the annexation speed of the middle worlds wasn’t fast, because Zhou Tian occasionally led the Abyss World to annex a lower world, it didn’t take long for the power of the Abyss World to undergo a transformative evolution.
"This is truly wonderful."
With Zhou Tian’s guidance and the acquisition of enough energy, the Abyss World evolved another extremely practical ability at that time.
This ability wasn’t meant for the living beings within the Abyss World; Zhou Tian used the newly acquired energy to evolve an ability in the Abyss World, but its true user was actually Zhou Tian.
Divine Descent!
This was the name Zhou Tian gave to his new ability.
As long as any living being believes in Zhou Tian or a strong force within Zhou Tian’s camp, once a faith-based connection is established, Zhou Tian can descend beside them with an energy avatar. Of course, if given more time to perfect this ability, it’s estimated that even the strong forces under Zhou Tian could have the opportunity to gain this ability.
However, any ability inevitably has its pros and cons. In that situation, although Zhou Tian could descend into other worlds with an energy avatar and do something during that time, it certainly came with some cost.
And for such a cross-world avatar descent ability, it’s clear that the cost involved is significant. Even given Zhou Tian’s resources, it couldn’t be treated as an ordinary ability.
But who is Zhou Tian?
In any case, no one would call him a good person.
So, regardless of the circumstances, Zhou Tian would always make decisions in his own interest. In that situation, although if Zhou Tian were willing, he could help those who believed in him at a certain cost.
But the problem was, Zhou Tian didn’t think he needed to help others!
In Zhou Tian’s view, there is no such thing as unconditional love or hate; both love and hate arise due to benefit. In that situation, without the corresponding benefit, Zhou Tian wouldn’t help anyone, even if the person was his believer.
So, Zhou Tian would provide channels for his believers to enhance their strength, and he wouldn’t mind helping a believer during performances when necessary. However, on an everyday basis, Zhou Tian wouldn’t pay a huge cost to help a believer, no matter the circumstances.
Although Zhou Tian wasn’t likely to help believers by using this ability, if he didn’t have an idea related to this, he wouldn’t let the Abyss World spend so much energy forming this ability.
Zhou Tian had already formed a corresponding plan when he decided to possess this ability.
It is clear that the stronger the ability, the greater the cost of its use. This is unavoidable, even for Zhou Tian. However, although the stronger the ability, the greater the cost, this cost doesn’t necessarily have to be borne by Zhou Tian.
Thus, Zhou Tian’s thoughts were clear.
If he needed to do something in a Different World, but was unwilling to bear the corresponding cost, then let the living beings in need pay the price instead.
When a living being and Zhou Tian’s ability get involved, the cost paid by the living being won’t impact Zhou Tian’s use of the ability, even if it’s not Zhou Tian himself bearing it.
Moreover, considering the nature of Zhou Tian’s ability, if he needs to pay the cost, it is billions times more costly than what a world resident would need to pay. After all, the most significant aspect of cross-world ability consumption lies in resisting and opposing the world consciousness’s action.
In such circumstances, whether due to the actions’ benefits or the influence of Zhou Tian on the Abyss World, when Zhou Tian uses that ability, the Abyss World wouldn’t likely obstruct it.
Therefore, Zhou Tian’s massive cost while using that ability primarily results from the world consciousness of the descended Different World, which would certainly try to obstruct it. With such circumstances, directly descending would be challenging for Zhou Tian.
When trying to forcefully descend into the Otherworld, Zhou Tian faced difficulties; but if the Otherworld resident invited him, then what? (To be continued.
