Chapter 2782: Chapter 872: (Part 2)
However, even though Zhou Tian plans to eliminate a group of experts now, exactly how to do it and which experts to eliminate are still somewhat of a consideration.
At least at that time, when determining to deal with the experts of that world, Zhou Tian secretly made a corresponding plan in his mind.
Given the situation of that world at the time, whether human experts or Beastman experts, Zhou Tian undoubtedly needed to resolve them. However, whether to kill more Beastmen or more humans was something Zhou Tian needed to consider.
Undoubtedly, given the situation at the time, Zhou Tian was standing on the human side, not only because Zhou Tian himself was originally human. The main reason was that Zhou Tian’s believers were basically all humans; Beastmen only worship Beast Gods, no matter how Zhou Tian’s angels preached, they couldn’t change their faith, and so, naturally, Zhou Tian could only stand on the human side in that world.
Thus, since Zhou Tian was a member of the human camp at the time, he originally should have killed more Beastmen. In the period before his departure, with Zhou Tian’s strength, if he wanted to, there’s no doubt he could weaken the top experts of the Beastmen considerably.
But in fact, based on the situation at that time, Zhou Tian seemingly had no intention whatsoever of dealing with the experts of the Beastman Tribe. Quite the opposite, at that time, Zhou Tian not only did not plan to target the Beastmen mainly but also considered the possibility of killing those human experts first.
It seems unbelievable, but once you assess the benefits of killing experts from both camps separately, it is not difficult to understand why Zhou Tian made such a choice at that time.
To Zhou Tian at the time, whether human experts or Beastman experts, as long as his energy wasn’t exhausted, slaying a few was not difficult. However, after killing the experts of the Beastman Tribe, when their strength was greatly reduced, it’s conceivable that humans, seizing the opportunity, might not entirely wipe out their race, but turning the tide should not be a problem under that situation.
And once humans, at the time, counter-attacked the Beastmen, and turned their previous disadvantage to oppress the Beastman Tribe, then the issue would arise.
Even if Zhou Tian took significant actions to ensure all living beings knew it was he who killed those Beastman experts at the time, would humans then be grateful to Zhou Tian?
Perhaps they would, at least initially when the relieved humans at middle and lower levels would certainly be very grateful to Zhou Tian for his help. But after a long period, would those humans continue to be grateful to Zhou Tian? This couldn’t be guaranteed.
Especially the middle and lower-level people would certainly be grateful to Zhou Tian for what he did. But when the same actions are viewed by those at the higher levels of humans, they may not necessarily be grateful to Zhou Tian for this matter.
On the surface, at that time, Zhou Tian killed the experts of the Beastman Tribe, improving the humans’ situation, which was in any view a help to humans. As long as the Human Race knew to repay favors, they should be grateful to Zhou Tian at that time.
Yet, it’s likely that if Zhou Tian really did that at the time, it would certainly arouse the vigilance of those human high levels. After all, if Zhou Tian could deal with those Beastmen, then if he turned around and decided to deal with them, those human high levels would not believe they could resist.
No one wishes to see forces or beings that pose a potential threat to their own safety. Especially the higher the status of a being, the less tolerant they are of forces that could threaten them. And under that situation at the time, after Zhou Tian displayed such strong power, it was likely that he wouldn’t receive gratitude from those human high levels; rather, it would cause them to be more wary of him.
And openly confronting Zhou Tian, taking into account Zhou Tian’s formidable strength and influence in this world, it’s likely those human high levels wouldn’t do so. But openly they might not dare; secretly they would inevitably perform some minor actions at that time.
For instance, to prevent Zhou Tian’s sect from threatening their control with influence among the Human Race, those human high levels would undoubtedly do their utmost to block the angels’ preaching. Even though individually their strength is very weak, not to mention Zhou Tian, even any angel under Zhou Tian’s command could handle them with just a few swords.
But although those humans are not strong in terms of power, their status grants them extraordinary influence within the Human Race. And if they specifically hinder Zhou Tian’s preaching action, then no matter how strong Zhou Tian’s power is, and even though the angels’ strength at that time was enough to handle any enemies, obtaining the faith of the Human Race with one single blow would likely also be impossible.
Therefore, just considering the situation that might arise after Zhou Tian helps those humans eliminate the opposing Beastman experts, he completely loses any intention of dealing with Beastman experts.
Under the circumstances at that time, since dealing with Beastman experts didn’t have much benefit for him, Zhou Tian inevitably had other ideas.
Since it seems to Zhou Tian now that killing Beastman experts wouldn’t gain him much benefit and might even create unfavorable situations for his subsequent actions, he naturally wasn’t averse to making changes.
If dealing with Beastmen had such considerable troubles, then what about dealing with Human experts?
Although theoretically, Zhou Tian could be considered a member of the human camp, in reality, Zhou Tian never really regarded himself as one of the humans. At least in Zhou Tian’s heart, he didn’t consider himself as human in that world at the time. It was just that the human society in that world was more suitable for him to develop his power, so Zhou Tian appeared to stand on the human side at the time.
Thus, under the circumstances then, usually Zhou Tian wouldn’t have any other reactions. In areas where he could help humans, he would lend a hand, but given his situation at that time, if killing human experts benefited him, Zhou Tian would not hesitate to take action.
And at this moment, does killing those human experts truly benefit Zhou Tian?
It seems unlikely there would be any benefit, after all, Zhou Tian is supposedly a member of the human camp, thus eliminating strong figures from the same camp doesn’t seem beneficial.
But what about in reality?
The real situation is that Zhou Tian killing human experts is not only harmless, as long as he doesn’t overdo it and keeps it from being exposed, theoretically, killing human experts at that time could indeed bring certain benefits to him. Compared to killing Beastman experts, the advantages of killing human experts at this point are even greater.
Killing Beastman experts, and then suppressing the Beastmen, considering humans’ tendency for internal strife, without external pressure, Zhou Tian would find handling just those human high levels quite troublesome. Conversely, if humans’ situation worsens, Zhou Tian’s troubles could lessen significantly.
Why angels couldn’t find a living environment in most worlds and were exterminated by those worlds’ beings jointly upon entering, yet in this world, even though humans didn’t regard them as kin, ultimately the Angel Race was still able to preach here, and in the end, allowed Zhou Tian to gain numerous believers?
