Chapter 3288: Chapter 1125

It is very clear that at any time, the threat of the Divine Realm’s consciousness to Zhou Tian is significant. At least before the Abyss World grows to the same level, Zhou Tian really does not have the confidence to rival the threat from the Divine Realm.

At the very least, if Zhou Tian severely injures a world and is about to annex it, if the Divine Realm’s consciousness takes action at that moment, Zhou Tian does not have a shred of confidence to snatch it from them. After all, it was because the Divine Realm’s consciousness previously snatched the combat results, causing an evolution. Although Zhou Tian estimated that such an evolution would not immediately endow the Divine Realm’s consciousness with the thinking capability of living beings, undoubtedly, if such things did not happen, Zhou Tian would absolutely not want such things to happen again to himself.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Tian still wants to annex those worlds, he must consider the Divine Realm’s consciousness response. Once Zhou Tian confirms that the Divine Realm’s consciousness can take over a world before he does, no matter how unhappy Zhou Tian is, he cannot take action against that world.

Zhou Tian does not dare to give the Divine Realm any more opportunities to take advantage. After all, the Divine Realm’s strength is evident. Its influence covers much of the world, and today Zhou Tian is already standing on the opposing side against most of the world. If the Divine Realm annexes several more independent worlds, no matter how Zhou Tian develops in the future, he would likely never surpass the Divine Realm in strength.

For this reason, whenever Zhou Tian carried out the action of annexing Different Worlds, he always needed to consider the Divine Realm’s consciousness response. Unless he knew about the Divine Realm’s evolution and confirmed it was unlikely to interfere now, Zhou Tian honestly would not dare to target worlds with strength not inferior to the Abyss World.

As it stands now, although Zhou Tian previously achieved good gains, after annexing several worlds consecutively, he has already spent a considerable amount of time. At this moment, it’s unknown to what extent the Divine Realm’s consciousness has evolved and when it will ’exit seclusion.’

If the Divine Realm’s consciousness remains in seclusion, that would be the best-case scenario. But if it exits seclusion early, while Zhou Tian is about to capture a world that even the Divine Realm could not before, all it takes is for the consciousness to intervene once, and Zhou Tian’s future difficulty in surpassing it will increase significantly.

There is no need, Zhou Tian hopes that such a situation does not occur. Hence, under the premise of being unable to confirm the state of the Divine Realm’s consciousness, even though he currently has the ability to annex those powerful worlds, he simply does not have the courage to act freely.

Thus, due to those concerns, Zhou Tian hesitated over whether to annex powerful worlds or relatively weaker Small Worlds.

The pros and cons of annexing such Small Worlds are obvious. If nothing unexpected occurs, based on Zhou Tian’s ability, there would be no risk in annexing such Small Worlds. Even in the unlikely event that Zhou Tian took action against those Small Worlds and faced an accident, where the Divine Realm’s consciousness seized his gains, although he would not want to see such a loss, even if he bore such a loss, Zhou Tian probably would not be bothered by it!

Even without such events, the Divine Realm will continually annex such Small Worlds. For Zhou Tian, as long as it is not an independent and powerful world annexed by the Divine Realm, losing a few independent Small Worlds will not have a significant impact on Zhou Tian’s overall plan.

However, even though dealing with such Small Worlds poses little risk for Zhou Tian, similar to zero risk, if Zhou Tian truly intends to proceed that way, what he gains may not be much. Unless something unexpected occurs, even if Zhou Tian annexes several Small Worlds, the gains might not significantly advance the strength of the Abyss World. Clearly, actions with such low effectiveness hold no allure for Zhou Tian.

Either there is no action taken, or if Zhou Tian decides to execute an action, it must result in a significant advancement in the strength of the Abyss World. Only by accelerating the advancement speed of the Abyss World’s strength, will there be a possibility of surpassing the Divine Realm in strength in the future.

To allow the Abyss World’s strength to grow at a relatively fast pace, not annexing powerful worlds is not an option. Therefore, due to these various reasons, Zhou Tian finds himself in a difficult decision-making situation.

Of course, given Zhou Tian’s character, he is certainly willing to deal with large worlds, and he had indeed acted this way before. If Zhou Tian’s courage were not large enough, he probably would not have carried out such actions initially.

Thus, not to mention that Zhou Tian previously caused turmoil in the Divine Realm, already causing internal strife. If nothing unexpected happens, the Divine Realm probably doesn’t have the energy to deal with him now. Regardless of previous incidents, as long as the Divine Realm’s consciousness has not explicitly expressed intent to deal with him, Zhou Tian should directly target those few powerful worlds.
