Chapter 2868: Chapter 914:
It can be said that if Zhou Tian cannot capture the God of the Burrow Spiders as planned, then even if his strength has been greatly weakened afterwards, it is estimated that even with further deployment, it would be difficult to have another chance to capture the opponent. After all, although the God of the Burrow Spiders is somewhat affected in strength currently, they can still exert combat power at the Dao Matching Level. As for Zhou Tian, without the energy replenishment from the main body or avatar, there’s absolutely no chance for his strength to return to its original level.
Zhou Tian must be extremely angry. After all, if he could kill that God of the Burrow Spiders, the blow to the World Consciousness at that time would be fatal. But just when his plan was about to succeed, it was thwarted due to the Human Race’s reasons. It’s impossible for Zhou Tian not to be angry about this matter, but no matter how furious Zhou Tian is, he can’t do anything to the opponent.
Just like the God of the Burrow Spiders was held back by him before, resulting in the extinction of the Burrow Spider clan, although the reaction of the Human Race is now enraging Zhou Tian, he truly has no way to retaliate against them. After all, he is currently in combat with the God of the Burrow Spiders, and given the opponent’s strength, Zhou Tian has no opportunity to spare any effort for revenge against the Human Race during this time.
Thus, even knowing precisely the issues emerging on the Human Race’s side, Zhou Tian can only watch them play their little tricks. As for the situation at that time, without any accident, it is estimated that soon the God of the Burrow Spiders will be able to escape at that time.
Of course, if Zhou Tian wishes at present, he still has the ability to continue suppressing the opponent. Based on the situation at that time, further weakening the strength of the God of the Burrow Spiders was definitely not a difficult task for Zhou Tian. However, even though taking such actions would be beneficial to him personally, when it actually came to this point, Zhou Tian no longer wished to continue with those actions.
It’s infuriating.
Although Zhou Tian has his own little abacus, regardless of how at present Zhou Tian is fighting for those Human Race and Fallen Elves, yet during his desperate struggle on the frontline, he was stabbed in the back. It’s hardly surprising Zhou Tian cares about such matters, and given his concern, he naturally loses his fighting spirit.
If Zhou Tian continues, his combat will certainly not be without gains. Without mentioning other things, just suppressing the God of the Burrow Spiders would likely accelerate the Abyss World’s rate of corruption on that world. It may very well be because of this reason that the world, originally able to hold on for a while longer, would succumb to Zhou Tian’s tactics and be annexed in a very short time.
Yet, clearly due to the lack of cooperation from the Human Race, even if continuing, Zhou Tian has no confidence in achieving a swift annexation of that world. In Zhou Tian’s view, although continuing to battle may lead to some gains, achieving a complete annexation in a single stroke is impossible.
Thus, the question arises: since annexing that world entirely at once is impossible, the timing, whether early or late, doesn’t really matter much to Zhou Tian.
Compared to accelerating the speed of annexing the current world a bit more, Zhou Tian would rather retaliate against the Human Race. Moreover, regarding annexing faster, it’s self-evident to Zhou Tian there are more routes than just continuing to fight the God of the Burrow Spiders.
Continuing to suppress the God of the Burrow Spiders actually does not significantly aid Zhou Tian’s objectives. The accelerated corruption of the Abyss World upon that world was not merely owing to suppressing tactics against the God of the Burrow Spiders but rather it was the sacrificial offerings of many Abyssal Creatures that bore such results.
Conversely, if Zhou Tian were to cease combat with the God of the Burrow Spiders, he actually only needs to find the right method, then contemplating other ways to speed up the annexation of this world, it’s not an unreasonable response. Even if he were to truly find the right method, Zhou Tian does indeed have the possibility of speeding up his annexation of that world.
Zhou Tian’s idea is quite simple; being able to directly kill the God of the Burrow Spiders is beneficial to his plan. However, since there’s no possibility of accomplishing that now, he does not need to waste energy on this impossible task. Instead of continuing with that attempt, Zhou Tian might as well consider if there’s a chance to cooperate with the opponent.
It seems like an impossible task. After all, if not for Zhou Tian, the Burrow Spider clan wouldn’t have fallen to their current plight.
If Zhou Tian hadn’t introduced the Warlock Occupation into this world, with the situation of the Human Race and Fallen Elves, at most their mid-tier combat power would be barely on par with the Burrow Spider clan. Neither their top-tier combat power nor lower ranks could be a match for the Burrow Spider clan. And given the disparity in strength, even if the Human Race and Fallen Elves join forces, it’s impossible they’d attain the current battle results.
Moreover, if Zhou Tian hadn’t intervened, the God of the Burrow Spiders believes their clan would not have been defeated. With their strength, it wouldn’t be difficult at all to reverse the Battle Situation single-handedly, at least ensuring the complete demise of the Upper Ranks of both clans.
Therefore, without Zhou Tian, perhaps even in a billion years the Burrow Spider clan would still be the rulers of this world.
They were originally the rulers of this world, yet Zhou Tian’s existence made them lose their position, even getting directly eradicated. Standing in the Burrow Spider’s position at that time, they naturally despised Zhou Tian to the core.
And in such circumstances, the notion of the God of the Burrow Spiders wanting to kill Zhou Tian would certainly arise if given the opportunity. However, the idea of Zhou Tian attempting to cooperate with the opponent is something that, even before starting, most people would perceive as unrealistic. At least for the living beings in that world, Zhou Tian’s actions were considered absolute madness.
But ultimately, Zhou Tian was somewhat confident about his ideas, and based on the situation, he considered there was a significant likelihood of his intentions coming to fruition.
Thus, Zhou Tian was naturally willing to give it a try at that time.
No matter the worst outcome, Zhou Tian would not face severe losses. On the contrary, if Zhou Tian’s idea was realized, the benefits at that time would be considerable.
If the God of the Burrow Spiders actually chose to cooperate with Zhou Tian, with such a Dao Matching Level existence in the current world aiding him, the Abyss World could annex this world in mere minutes. Such a result would be unprecedented even if Zhou Tian managed to kill the God of the Burrow Spiders. Given the opportunity for such benefits, Zhou Tian would surely hope he could indeed collaborate with the opponent.
Of course, cooperation is merely a possibility; without the God of the Burrow Spiders being an existence understanding matters beyond the world, Zhou Tian’s idea would never have occurred. Otherwise, if Zhou Tian were facing ordinary living beings of this world, he wouldn’t even entertain such an idea.
Consequently, once Zhou Tian conceived those thoughts, he promptly took action. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, we welcome you to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
