Zhou Tian had considered targeting the Ancient Ruins Space before, and his success in expanding the small continent—barely larger than an island—into something almost as vast as the Mainland was largely thanks to the benefits reaped from annexing those spaces.
Although Zhou Tian encountered some formidable veterans from several epochs past due to excessive annexation of the Ancient Ruins Space after his strength had grown, even being repelled by these powerhouses several times, he never forgot the Ancient Ruins Space as a fertile ground for his growth. Just as before, whenever he found his expansion hindered, he would likely set his sights on the Ancient Ruins Space once again.
Having previously developed well through annexing Ancient Ruins Spaces, Zhou Tian, after once again reaching a deadlock due to the plans of the Deities, soon fixed his attention on the Ancient Ruins Space anew.
Since the three major powers of the Main Plane restrained each other, and Zhou Tian basically had no opportunity to annex the other two factions, it was better to use his time on annexing the Ancient Ruins Space than to waste it. Zhou Tian was fully confident that if he could annex enough Ancient Ruins Spaces, he would surely achieve another breakthrough in strength. By the time he also broke through the Human Emperor Realm, he estimated that his power, even if still weak, would not be far behind the Deities.
When that day truly arrived, with a strength not inferior to the Deities, coupled with the immortal body of a Human Emperor, he predicted that no matter how much he developed, those Deities probably wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
With such thoughts, once Zhou Tian made his decision, he let the Deities manipulate the Main Plane to form the balance they desired. Then, when they became complacent, he covertly targeted the Ancient Ruins Spaces outside the Main Plane.
Of course, compared to the past, although Zhou Tian still targeted those Ancient Ruins Spaces, this time he was more cautious in his actions. fгeewebnovёl.com
In the past, Zhou Tian only needed to be careful about what he might encounter in those spaces, and as long as he didn’t run into a being stronger than himself, all he needed to do was diligently reclaim each Ancient Ruins Space. Based on his strength at the time and a bit of luck, he managed to reclaim quite a few spaces.
Now, annexing Ancient Ruins Spaces was indeed a good decision, but there were still some concerns Zhou Tian needed to keep in mind while doing so.
For example, while annexing Ancient Ruins Spaces would indeed enhance Zhou Tian’s strength, if he acted without any regard, it wouldn’t be without problems.
After annexing an Ancient Ruins Space, it would return to the Main Plane, and given the abilities of the Deities, if Zhou Tian annexed them on a large scale, his power would definitely increase significantly. However, at the same time, his actions would most likely be discovered by the Deities.
There was no doubt that, with the strength of the Deities, even if they could not stop Zhou Tian’s actions, all they would need to do was send the Human Emperor to do the same. Thus, Zhou Tian’s chance to enhance his strength through annexing Ancient Ruins Spaces would be unlikely to achieve the pre-set effect.
Therefore, while annexing Ancient Ruins Spaces was Zhou Tian’s way out at the moment, there were still some important considerations to be made in the process.
The first rule was that he must not send the Ancient Ruins Spaces he had captured back to the Main Plane.
Even if Zhou Tian was not concerned about the limitations set by the Deities, he still had to prevent the Deities from interfering with his expansion. Undoubtedly, based on his relationship with the Deities, it was clear that once they became aware of Zhou Tian’s situation, they would immediately attempt to stop his expansion. Although Zhou Tian could still expand without their interference, openly boosting his strength in the shadows would lose its biggest advantage if he returned those spaces to the Main Plane.
So, annexing the Ancient Ruins Spaces was no problem, and Zhou Tian could focus his main efforts on this task without issue. But after capturing the spaces, he must not destroy their foundation and allow them to return to the Main Plane, at least until the Deities discovered his actions. He needed to avoid that at all costs.
As long as the Deities remained unaware of his Actions, Zhou Tian could continue expanding his Territory without their knowledge. Once he had territories of a higher epoch, he could send all the Ancient Ruins Spaces back to the Main Plane without worry, and his current Enemies would be unable to do anything to him.
In any case, as long as there were Monsters occupying the territory, whether on the Main Plane or outside it, it could still enhance Zhou Tian’s strength. Even if he didn’t reintegrate the Ancient Ruins Spaces back into the Main Plane, the actual impact on him was not too significant.
The biggest issue would be the numerous entrances to the Ancient Ruins Space; if he didn’t bring them back to the Main Plane, he might face a lot of enemy attacks on the newly acquired spaces.
Although it could be troublesome, Zhou Tian was still able to deal with it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
