Chapter 2870: Chapter 915:
"You can see the current situation; your Burrow Spider clan is now defeated. If nothing unexpected happens, it’s likely the Burrow Spider clan will no longer appear in the world. And when this world is annexed, as a harmonious existence, I reckon you won’t retain this current power, and you might even face destruction the moment the world is annexed. But if you cooperate with me, then none of this has to happen. Not only can I allow your Burrow Spider clan to become new residents of my world, I can even make you one of the powerful beings of my world, letting you govern part of the World Rules." After speaking, Zhou Tian didn’t wait for the Burrow Spider god to reply and continued, "Whether it’s possible, just one word — I’ve stated my conditions here; I can’t offer better. If we can negotiate, then let’s negotiate; if not, let’s fight!"
"You’ve already proposed such conditions, how could I possibly oppose cooperation!" Actually, the Burrow Spider god had intended to ask for more benefits, but upon hearing Zhou Tian’s latter words, he promptly changed his stance. Even though there wasn’t an opportunity to strive for more advantages, the Burrow Spider god was still extremely satisfied with the results of the current negotiation.
There’s no reason not to be satisfied; looking at the situation at the time, it’s undoubtedly advantageous for the Burrow Spider god and the Burrow Spider clan based on Zhou Tian’s conditions.
The Burrow Spider clan will gain a place to survive, and the Burrow Spider god himself can regain great Strength. Although they can no longer dominate a world as before, compared to complete annihilation, it’s already considered a decent outcome for the Burrow Spider clan. Additionally, looking at the event, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for the Burrow Spider clan.
Although the Burrow Spider originally lived quite leisurely, even after Defection to Zhou Tian, they couldn’t enjoy the previous life anymore. But living in the current world, the Burrow Spider god had already realized such a life couldn’t be maintained forever.
After all, there isn’t just one world. Since Zhou Tian reached their world, other living beings from different worlds will enter their lives. Zhou Tian succeeded in annexing their world; it’s possible other worlds could annex theirs in the future.
Unless they make their world invincible, they will face this Crisis sooner or later. The difference now is that, after being defeated, the outcome might change due to various reasons. Undoubtedly, Zhou Tian’s offer to the Burrow Spider god isn’t excellent but still fits within the ideal circumstances.
Given the conditions of their world, if they could expand their world’s Scale, regardless of any other circumstances, the Burrow Spider god would undoubtedly act. But clearly, even with the knowledge gained as a harmonious entity, he couldn’t actively annex other worlds like Zhou Tian.
Thus, given his situation, without Invasion from external threats, the Burrow Spider god was content being a ’God.’ But when facing Invasion, naturally he would fight, yet if Defeated, the Burrow Spider god was already prepared for the worst.
In the Burrow Spider god’s view, if he Defeated in a fight with living beings from other worlds, he would likely face death. It wasn’t surprising because if he Defeated living beings from other worlds, he hardly left any survivors either.
At that time, under Zhou Tian’s suppression, the Burrow Spider god was already in Despair. Based on his thoughts, Zhou Tian’s world was stronger, and if Zhou Tian Defeated him, he wouldn’t likely be spared.
But the Burrow Spider god didn’t expect Zhou Tian to offer such terms even after gaining the Upper Hand, making refusal impossible.
It’s impossible that the Burrow Spider god didn’t notice there’s a Problem with Zhou Tian. Zhou Tian’s Performance was abnormal; even if he were Stupid, with his Strength, he could see Zhou Tian’s odd condition. Thus, even if the Burrow Spider god couldn’t know everything about Zhou Tian, he could deduce some basic aspects calmly.
After deducing Zhou Tian’s situation, the Burrow Spider god knew he could overpower Zhou Tian. In such a situation, if determined, the Burrow Spider god indeed could kill Zhou Tian, ensuring neither the Human Race nor the Fallen Elves would be opponents afterward, allowing Burrow Spiders to reclaim dominance in this world.
But understanding Zhou Tian’s situation, the Burrow Spider god knew his moves couldn’t make much effect. His actions would only lead to future annihilation without any Gains.
If Zhou Tian had no intention for Cooperation, in the face of impending death, the Burrow Spider god might have still decided to fight Zhou Tian resolutely. But Zhou Tian’s behavior showed no desire for a death battle, so knowing Zhou Tian’s situation, the Burrow Spider god chose not to continue fighting.
Even if the Burrow Spider god spotted Zhou Tian’s weakness, he was confident in killing Zhou Tian in ensuing Combat. But after understanding Zhou Tian’s situation, he realized continuing the fight was meaningless.
What’s the sense in killing Zhou Tian?
Previously unaware of the situation, the Burrow Spider god tried to Diligence in dealing with Zhou Tian, always ready to fight for victory, regardless of the Cost, determined to Take Action against Zhou Tian.
But upon realizing Zhou Tian’s situation, the Burrow Spider god lost his motivation.
The Burrow Spider god didn’t understand Zhou Tian’s full condition, so he believed Zhou Tian sent just an Energy Avatar, already forcing him into Despair, indicating Zhou Tian’s body might be extremely powerful.
Regardless, it was certain that even if Zhou Tian didn’t Take Action himself, if more Energy Avatars like this were sent, the Burrow Spider god might manage initially, but more encounters would drain his persistence; he didn’t have Confidence to go on. Realizing his Strength was weakened by Zhou Tian’s Series of Actions, with several more instances, his power might be reduced to a mundane Standard. (To be continued.
