Chapter 3167: Chapter 1063:

Overall, apart from occasionally needing to engage in some combat, which Zhou Tian found troublesome, at that time, residing in that arena might not have been a bad opportunity for Zhou Tian.

Although the social structure of that world was very simple, even if Zhou Tian directly blended into it, no one would care about his identity. However, regardless of the circumstances, whether he has a reasonable identity at certain moments would impact Zhou Tian’s future endeavors.

Under normal circumstances, crafting an identity for Zhou Tian would surely be difficult. After all, his current power could not be displayed, and without knowing anyone, no matter his identity outside, within that world at that time, for Zhou Tian to obtain a new identity was not an easy task.

Thus, at that time, when Zhou Tian was captured by those Heavenly Eye Users and directly sold as a gladiator, although the experience was hardly a cause for joy, the situation at that time did allow Zhou Tian to easily obtain the identity he needed.

The identity of a gladiator is not very appealing, but if Zhou Tian ever has the chance to become a Heavenly Eye User and shed the identity of a gladiator, then even if someone wants to investigate his identity, when they find out he once had the gladiator identity in this arena, almost all the clues would break off.

It’s believed that even if anyone investigates here and finds no other clues, they would not think Zhou Tian is a living being from an alternate world. At that time, they would merely believe that the arena erased Zhou Tian’s identity information, which is why they couldn’t track it.

Certainly, none of this matters much to Zhou Tian at present. What was of concern for Zhou Tian at that time was how to obtain the power of the Heavenly Eye Users. Other than that, nothing else was within his scope of consideration at the time.

At that time, although Zhou Tian did not obtain any corresponding cultivation method, and did not know how ordinary people became Heavenly Eye Users. Zhou Tian was not even a living being of this world, so he couldn’t be sure whether he could become a Heavenly Eye User.

However, regardless of whether Zhou Tian truly has the ability to become a Heavenly Eye User, it wasn’t important to him at the time. Until he had conducted actual experiments and ultimately failed to become a Heavenly Eye User, Zhou Tian would only follow his own thoughts and strive towards that goal. If he could finally become a Heavenly Eye User, it would be ideal, but if he ultimately failed, he would consider other invasion methods.

Despite not knowing the acquisition method at all, Zhou Tian was aware that allowing himself to become a Heavenly Eye User was not easy. But based on the circumstances at that time, even though Zhou Tian knew that such power was hard to obtain, he couldn’t help but conduct some experiments in earnest.

First, since Zhou Tian was not a living being from this world, the experiences of ordinary beings regarding how to open the eye couldn’t be said to be useless for him. But whether those experiences applicable to ordinary beings would be effective for Zhou Tian is something he would need to experiment to find out. Hence, while acquiring some information in that regard would be beneficial for Zhou Tian, he would still have the opportunity to open the eye even without guidance.

After all, not all Heavenly Eye Users are cultivated under someone’s guidance. Since previously many Heavenly Eye Users opened their eyes due to accidents, Zhou Tian believed that with his strength being much greater compared to ordinary living beings, as long as he found the right method, there should be no reason he couldn’t open the eye.

Thus, since Zhou Tian naturally held some hope to open the eye relying on his own power, it was not surprising that he would try to obtain this world’s Heavenly Eye powers during his free time.

Through his previous diligence, Zhou Tian already understood what the Heavenly Eye power entailed at that time. Since Zhou Tian was aware of the details of the Heavenly Eye power, carrying out targeted experiments should make it relatively easy to open his own Heavenly Eye.

In fact, due to Zhou Tian’s unique identity at the time, he was more cautious in his actions. Otherwise, with his understanding of the Heavenly Eye, if Zhou Tian acted recklessly to open the eye, he would probably have already done so.

Heavenly Eye power directly uses the rules of that world to battle, and based on Zhou Tian’s real abilities, even if he didn’t align with that world’s rules, leveraging its powers without the help of Heavenly Eye should be easily achievable.

The problem now was, though Zhou Tian had the ability to do so, considering his identity at the time, unless he wished for death, he would not dare to act in such a manner.

If he directly leveraged the powers of that world’s rules, if Zhou Tian really dared to do so, then he would presumably be demonstrating his identity. And based on the various performances of that world’s consciousness, if it learned about Zhou Tian’s identity, there’s no way Zhou Tian could end well.

Unquestionably, Zhou Tian would not allow such a situation to arise. Hence, even if he had the ability to easily obtain Heavenly Eye power, due to his identity, he could not afford to use the direct method that would expose his identity.

Therefore, what Zhou Tian needed to do now was not how to link with the world rules. The hardest task for other living beings wasn’t difficult for Zhou Tian at all. Now, what Zhou Tian needed to do was one thing: how to link with the world rules without letting its consciousness discover him.

Of course, none of this would yield results without repeated experiments.

For Zhou Tian, it was somewhat good news that even though that world was quite unique, its world consciousness still tended to operate in a procedural manner, which was undoubtedly beneficial for Zhou Tian.

According to the normal response of the world consciousness, it’s believed that even if Zhou Tian continuously attempted to open the eye, as long as he didn’t immediately let the world consciousness discover his identity, Zhou Tian might provoke a reaction from the world consciousness by using Otherworld powers during his probing, but it was unlikely that Zhou Tian would expose his identity.

Thus, although at the time the task was indeed challenging to accomplish, Zhou Tian was afforded the time to conduct ongoing experiments. Even if one or two experiments yielded no results, as long as Zhou Tian continued to strive in that direction, sooner or later, he would achieve his desired outcome.

Therefore, once free time was available, although being cautious to avoid exposing his identity, Zhou Tian had no hesitation whatsoever while conducting his eye-opening experiments.

With Zhou Tian’s Divine King level cultivation and Abyss owner’s identity power, when he sought to engage with the world’s rules at that time, he easily achieved his goal.

However...

Rules themselves are intangible, otherwise living beings wouldn’t need to cultivate to master them. Based on the circumstances at that time, beings capable of using rules could achieve their objectives with just an act of will. But since rules are intangible, attempting to distinguish them just like tangible objects is certainly not feasible.

Thus, although compared to ordinary living beings of that world, Zhou Tian easily engaged with that world’s rules. But once he did so, the consequences of engaging with world rules were beyond his control.

Originally, Zhou Tian only wanted to lightly engage with that world’s rules to see if, by leveraging its powers in combat, he could avoid detection by the world’s consciousness. (To be continued.
