Mighty Lord

Chapter 1226: Chapter 480: Lead the Way

Zhou Tian had to retrieve the Ancient Ruins Space back to the Main Plane in the past, not because he couldn’t make those territories his without bringing the Ancient Ruins Space to the Main Plane. In fact, Zhou Tian only needed to send a certain number of Beastman to guard those ancient Ruins Spaces he had occupied. Even without returning to the Main Plane, the Ancient Ruin Spaces he conquered would still count as his territory. fгeewebnovёl.com

However...

In the past, Zhou Tian did not have the strength he has now, so when he occupied those Ancient Ruin Spaces, if he did not retrieve them back to the Main Plane, he would inevitably face invasions from other Ancient Ruin Spaces. Although such invasions were fraught with uncertainties, perhaps not occurring for hundreds or thousands of years, once they did occur, it would not be cost-effective for Zhou Tian to leave too much strength in the occupied Ancient Ruin Spaces, and without enough strength, he would not be able to defend them. Hence, under helpless circumstances, Zhou Tian at that time could only retrieve all the Ancient Ruin Spaces he had conquered back to the Main Plane.

Once the Ancient Ruin Spaces were incorporated into the Main Plane, they would then be considered as part of the Main Plane’s territory. And based on the World Consciousness’s repression of the indigenous living beings from non-main planes, those living beings would not actively enter the Main Plane. Thus, initially, Zhou Tian was eager to retrieve those Ancient Ruin Spaces to the Main Plane because by doing so, it meant that Zhou Tian would only need to face one group of existing hostile forces from the Main Plane.

Zhou Tian did not need to do that out of necessity but did so for safety reasons due to his lack of strength, which is why he returned those Ancient Ruin Spaces to the Main Plane.

And now, does Zhou Tian still need to do that?

Clearly, for Zhou Tian now, it is no longer necessary to take such actions. Because, at this time, Zhou Tian’s strength has advanced beyond comparison to his previous level. Zhou Tian’s current strength had surpassed that of the Demigods by more than just a slight margin, and based on his current strength, the existence he once considered a great enemy. Zhou Tian no longer needed to regard seriously.

Not to mention whether there exist beings in those Ancient Ruin Spaces that are comparable to his strength. After all, they are forces inherited from several epochs, and Zhou Tian would not be surprised if a powerful enough individual emerged from any Ancient Ruin Space. However, in the multitude of Ancient Ruin Spaces, the beings truly capable of contending with Zhou Tian were absolutely sparse, limited by the conditions. Usually, the strongest warriors from those spaces barely reached Domain Level One.

Domain-level warriors are already strong, and initially, Zhou Tian was even frightened by a vassal force using Pope Level Monsters as soldiers, avoiding entering the Ancient Ruin Spaces. But now, those Domain-level warriors, who are generally considered strong in typical conditions, had become extremely weak ’ants’ to Zhou Tian at this time.

Zhou Tian’s strength was evident, and according to the Monster System structure, as a Human Emperor, the little bosses under Zhou Tian possessed Emperor-level strength. Thus, originally, his minions should also have Domain-level strength.

At that time, having all minions possess Domain-level strength was naturally unlikely, but in fact, almost all of Zhou Tian’s minions possessed the potential for Domain-level strength, which was an undeniable fact.

That is to say, based on the current situation of the Vassal Clan Beastmen, ordinary minions might only be considered stronger than Pope Level Bosses. However, after undergoing certain combats and gaining some insights, Zhou Tian’s Beastman underlings would then become Domain-level warriors. Thus, not to mention the Vassal Clan Beastmen, Zhou Tian’s core Beastman, those evolved into Behemoths or other elites, were essentially all possessed of Domain Level One strength.

Therefore, what was once Ancient Ruin Spaces that Zhou Tian only dared to come to alone had now become his plundering ground. Even if he did not take action personally, simply by deploying his minions, he effectively already had the ability to conquer most of the Ancient Ruin Spaces.

As a result, based on the situation at the time, once Zhou Tian’s strength progressed to the current extent, taking advantage of the Monster System’s tremendous advantage. Zhou Tian had not moved yet, but as soon as he set his sights on those Ancient Ruin Spaces, the region that was originally independent from the Main Plane encountered an overwhelming disaster then.

Zhou Tian was not about to be polite with those ancient inhabitants, and upon making that decision, the moment he left the Main Plane for the first time, he sought out his ’old friend.’

Zhou Tian was very vindictive. Although he wouldn’t deliberately find trouble with others, if someone offended him without affecting his plans, Zhou Tian would always think about seeking revenge; and if the opponent’s strength was strong, it was well and good, but if it were weak, encountering Zhou Tian meant their downfall.

And Zhou Tian would not forget that when he was still an Emperor Level Boss, originally wanting to upgrade to Human Emperor but hindered by a bottleneck, he had thought of annexing these Ancient Ruin Spaces. However, just when everything was progressing smoothly for Zhou Tian, genuinely expanding his territory, a group of Demigods intervened, resulting in Zhou Tian not only unable to expand his territory in the Ancient Ruin Spaces but almost losing his life to those Demigods.
