Chapter 3284: Chapter 1123

At the beginning, Zhou Tian hadn’t considered retreating, but when staying in the Divine Realm was no longer necessary, he retreated directly from the Divine Realm. With no reluctance to stay, even if the Divine Realm’s awareness exerted its ability, it had no method to deal with Zhou Tian.

As a result, under such circumstances, Zhou Tian retreated directly out of the Divine Realm. In that situation, before the consciousness of the Divine Realm could emerge again, the struggle between him and the Divine Realm could be considered temporarily finished.

After all, the ability of the Divine Realm’s awareness was limited. Not to mention, it probably hadn’t considered retaliating against Zhou Tian, but even if it did, given the strength it controlled at the time, it would be difficult to clearly harm Zhou Tian. Conversely, if it couldn’t mobilize enough strength to take action against Zhou Tian, then relying on Zhou Tian’s ability to counterattack, it’s estimated that the Divine Realm might suffer losses instead.

Only when the consciousness of the Divine Realm emerges, after completing evolution, utilizing the vast power of the Divine Realm at that time, would it pose a sufficient threat to Zhou Tian.

Of course, everything would only be discovered after the consciousness of the Divine Realm emerges. At the moment, any actions by the Divine Realm in the future are matters of the future. So far, instead of concerning himself with those problems, Zhou Tian might consider how to enhance the Abyss World Strength.

Clearly, regarding the enhancement of the Abyss World, monitoring the Divine Realm any further holds no meaning for Zhou Tian. Given the strength of the Divine Realm, if Zhou Tian continues to waste time on this matter, no matter the length of time eventually spent, the Divine Realm certainly wouldn’t allow such an annexation.

Under the premise that annexing the Divine Realm is fundamentally impossible, if Zhou Tian is willing, he can spend his time on other pursuits. Compared to the unrealistic annexation of the Divine Realm, if Zhou Tian employs the right method to enhance the Abyss World Strength, there wouldn’t be any difficulty.

At least for Zhou Tian at that time, annexing the world he had his eyes on didn’t present any problem. As long as everything progressed smoothly, upon successfully annexing that world, despite the strength of the Abyss World, there would still be significant gains.

From the start, Zhou Tian had decided to annex that world. Under such a great premise, weakening the Divine Realm’s strength was certainly beneficial, but there wasn’t any need for Zhou Tian to remain longer in the Divine Realm before annexing that world.

Moreover, Zhou Tian’s gains at the time were substantial enough that even retreating then still impacted the Divine Realm significantly due to his invasion.

In terms of strength, despite Zhou Tian killing a number of Divine Kings, it wasn’t nearly enough to shake the Divine Realm’s foundation, given the Divine Realm’s roots. The Divine Realm wouldn’t have its strength weakened simply because Zhou Tian eliminated some of its Divine Kings. It’s believed that, with time, the positions of those Divine Kings would be replaced by True Gods, mitigating much of the impact of Zhou Tian’s invasion.

However, while the foundation of the Divine Realm could fill the void of lost Divine Kings with True Gods, Zhou Tian’s actions still inevitably affected the Divine Realm.

Not to mention other aspects, even just the few lost Divine King positions were enough to cause a considerable chaos in the Divine Realm.

Given the Divine Realm’s foundation, finding True Gods to succeed fallen Divine Kings wasn’t difficult, even with successive losses. The issue was that among many True Gods, close to breakthroughs, ignoring those harder to cultivate rules, the number of True Gods who had cultivated common rules to their peak numbered in the hundreds of thousands to millions.

Among so many True Gods, there were differences in strength and aptitude, but generally, these differences were limited. At least in the eyes of those True Gods, each believed they had the ability to inherit a Divine King’s position. If any deity tried to preemptively claim that position, it’s conceivable those True Gods absolutely wouldn’t accept that outcome.

Thus, if a Divine King of a certain rule hadn’t fallen, even if those True Gods were unwilling, without means to confront a Divine King, they could only choose to bide their time. But now that the Divine King positions are vacant, any True God believing they had a chance to succeed would surely try to claim those positions.

Clearly, under the circumstances, as long as those True Gods were unwilling to give up their ambitions to seize the Divine King thrones, chaos in the Divine Realm would be unavoidable.

If any True God sought a breakthrough, not all True Gods would oppose, but at least those adhering to the same rules would certainly never allow an easy breakthrough. Under such conditions, to achieve breakthroughs or to prevent enemies from doing so, the True Gods within the Divine Realm would undoubtedly struggle fiercely for that opportunity.
