Free Web NovelChapter 1025: Chapter 413 A Thousand Years of Peace
Emperor-level Bosses, unless they are unlucky enough to suffer a downfall due to some major event, do not experience replacements. For this reason, having reached their current status through their own abilities, these Emperor-level Bosses might not be as powerful as demigods, but their pride is certainly not a hair less.
Indeed, those demigods currently have the advantage in strength, and it is precisely because of this advantage that, although dissatisfied with the demigods entering their territories, the Emperor-level Bosses still primarily sought to negotiate, without any intention of starting a war with them previously.
However, as the demigods finished speaking, everything changed.
Because they were inferior to their opponents in strength, those Emperor-level Bosses didn’t contemplate initiating combat. But their reluctance to fight didn’t mean they lacked courage to do so, and now, insulted by the demigods, they naturally sought to regain face at all costs.
Thus, just as the words of the demigods had finished echoing, the expressions of the Emperor-level Bosses changed dramatically. Their personal worlds unfolded all at once at that moment.
"Want to fight? We’ll oblige!" Seeing the reaction of the Emperor-level Bosses, the demigods weren’t frightened. After all, if those weaker Emperor-level Bosses dared to draw their swords, the demigods, who already held the advantage in strength, certainly weren’t afraid.
And if one were to guess who was happiest at that time, it would probably be Zhou Tian. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Merely observing the interaction between the demigods and the Emperor-level Bosses, Zhou Tian knew he was now safe. Though the demigods were somewhat stronger, they wouldn’t dare fight the Emperor-level Bosses in the Main Plane, especially with the help of World Consciousness, which gave the Emperor-level Bosses a significant chance to triumph over stronger foes. Furthermore, monsters have a unique way of inheritance, so the demigods, having made it so far, are truly not keen on taking risks unless by accident.
One side being weak and the other unwilling to risk, Zhou Tian, watching the stand-off, was ninety percent confident the battle wouldn’t start. This undoubtedly worked in his favor, as he could begin to relax about healing his injuries once he realized that neither the demigods nor the Emperor-level Bosses were going to attack him anymore.
As expected, the developments didn’t surprise Zhou Tian.
No matter how eager the demigods seemed to eliminate Zhou Tian, in reality, there was no irreconcilable conflict between Zhou Tian and the demigods. If it were just about dealing with Zhou Tian alone, the demigods wouldn’t have hesitated. But for some reason, those Emperor-level Bosses seemed intent on protecting Zhou Tian. Given the circumstances, it wasn’t surprising that those demigods who didn’t want to directly clash with Zhou Tian chose to withdraw from the Main Plane at that time.
"Just this once, if we find you engaging in such activities there again, then don’t blame us for starting a war," the demigods said, whether as a reminder or a threat, before ultimately choosing to leave the Main Plane. freēwēbnovel.com
After casting a casual glance at Zhou Tian, he was left wondering why those Emperor-level Bosses had come at all. They had helped him once but then left without a word, silently departing once more. With the Emperor-level Bosses gone, Zhou Tian remained alone, pondering the matter at hand.
"Forget it, the World Consciousness must have had an influence on this situation, and there’s no harm in investigating it later," Despite his lack of insight into the specifics, Zhou Tian decided not to dwell on it. Without probing deeper into the issue, he swiftly put aside the behavior of both parties and began to clean up the mess after the demigods and the Emperor-level Bosses had retreated.
It hadn’t been long, but the battle those demigods unleashed upon his home continent during their chase of Zhou Tian was fierce. Even though they didn’t exert their full strength, given their capabilities, they had still caused considerable damage to Zhou Tian’s territory after their battle with him.
With the strength of the demigods being well recognized, even without getting serious, a few casual strikes were more than enough to inflict substantial damage on Zhou Tian’s domain. As a result, after the demigods left, even though his home continent wasn’t destroyed by the battle, every location where Zhou Tian and the demigods had clashed suffered immense destruction, and the Beastman residential area under Zhou Tian’s name was heavily damaged as well, rendering the domain uninhabitable for some time.
Moreover, while the residual effects of the World Consciousness had little impact on Zhou Tian, they were profoundly influential on most monsters. Given the World Consciousness’s way of operating, it would go to great lengths to oppose any foreign living beings that arrived on the Main Plane. Thus, due to the influence of the World Consciousness, such thoughts were easy to come by, and those thoughts resulted in Zhou Tian suffering greater losses.
