Free Web NovelChapter 1051: Chapter 421 Unify the Mainland_3
Either offend those demigods, or offend the emperor-level bosses from the Main Plane. Apart from these two options, Zhou Tian doesn’t have many other paths to take right now. It appears impossible for him to enhance his strength significantly in a short period of time through any other means.
Although, if he had other choices, Zhou Tian would not want to offend either the demigods or the emperor-level bosses. However, knowing full well the threat posed by those players, Zhou Tian was even less willing to face them once they regained their momentum. Thus, even in the face of those two major forces, he would rather not confront those players.
The demigods and the emperor-level bosses were both formidable, mainly because each of their camps was relatively united. Under normal circumstances, they each stuck to their Territory. But if a case of foul play arose, the situation where Zhou Tian was once surrounded by a team of demigods could easily occur again.
Unlike the demigods and emperor-level bosses, the threat from players manifests in various aspects, not even Zhou Tian with his abilities could guarantee these players wouldn’t become a threat to him, let alone other monsters.
Thus, if possible, Zhou Tian would not allow those players to continue developing comfortably as they were. To achieve this goal, even facing those demigods or emperor-level bosses wouldn’t pose a problem.
When considering his options, Zhou Tian didn’t really have many at the moment.
Between the Two Major Camps of demigods and emperor-level bosses, Zhou Tian knew he could only target the demigods.
Though dealing with emperor-level bosses might be considered an internal conflict and would probably result in less retaliation, if Zhou Tian really dared to do so, he would likely end up offending all the emperor-level bosses. After having offended all the emperor-level bosses, if he ever needed their help, from any aspect, it was doubtful they would assist him again.
And if things really went that far, Zhou Tian would then have to face suppression from both camps. Under such circumstances, it was obvious that his situation would not be favorable.
On the contrary, dealing with demigods might provoke them into chasing and killing him, but based on the initial situation, those demigods were generally reluctant to clash with the emperor-level bosses unless necessary. Therefore, with careful consideration, Zhou Tian could actually avoid some conflicts with the demigods.
After weighing these thoughts, naturally, the first moment he finished calculating his gains and losses, he took action immediately.
Even utilizing the same annexation method as Zhou Tian originally did in the Ancient Ruins Space, it is estimated that not even one percent of the Territory has been annexed up to now. To fully annex those Ancient Ruins Spaces, it is reckoned that even if several more Mainlands were added to the Main Plane, it would not pose any problem.
And because there are countless Ancient Ruins Spaces, this provides Zhou Tian with the opportunity to annex those Territories.
Based on the original situation, if Zhou Tian wanted to annex those Ancient Ruins Spaces, it wouldn’t be difficult at all. Nearly no Ancient Ruins Space was beyond his reach if he decided to take it. However, if Zhou Tian undertook such actions, many demigods living in the Ancient Ruins Spaces would retaliate against him.
Thus, having been warned by the demigods once before, if Zhou Tian continued to recklessly provoke the demigods, it was not out of the question that the demigods might be incited to chase and kill him again.
As a result, based on the situation at the time, from any aspect, Zhou Tian’s best option was to target the demigods while trying his best to avoid enraging them.
Given Zhou Tian’s conditions at the time, achieving this effect was not a difficult thing.
Considering the number of Ancient Ruins Spaces, even if some were reclaimed by monsters, it was unlikely that the demigods would care much. After all, firstly, there were many Ancient Ruins Spaces, and secondly, the demigods didn’t need much Territory for their cultivation. Based on this, the demigods would rather spend their time on cultivation than suppress those monsters reclaiming the Ancient Ruins Spaces.
The real reason why the demigods previously united against Zhou Tian was probably because he annexed the Ancient Ruins Spaces too quickly and also killed a demigod. If not for these two reasons, even if Zhou Tian, an emperor-level boss himself, personally undertook the action of reclaiming Ancient Ruins Spaces, as long as he didn’t overdo it, it’s likely that the demigods would have no intention of troubling him. After all, fighting with Zhou Tian over some Ancient Ruins Spaces they hardly cared about did not seem worthwhile to the demigods.
Therefore, if at that time Zhou Tian had been careful enough, it is estimated that he would not have needed to face any retaliation from the demigods. However, some actions, even if regretted later, cannot be changed.
Since Zhou Tian had already been warned by the demigods, stepping into the Ancient Ruins Space again would likely provoke their attack. Thus, even if regretful, there was no way Zhou Tian could personally reclaim those Ancient Ruins Spaces now. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
And since he could not take action himself, Zhou Tian could only pin all his hopes on the small bosses under his command when it came to reclaiming those Ancient Ruins Spaces.
Compared to Zhou Tian, an emperor-level boss, the small bosses under his command certainly had deficiencies in strength. However, if Zhou Tian sent those small bosses to reclaim the Ancient Ruins Spaces, it was not without hope.
