Chapter 1246: Chapter 486 Ancient Being_3
The Main Plane, or rather the deities who stand apart from it, were indeed the victors from epochs past. Yet aside from those who successfully ascended to deities, there were always a number of competitors before their ascension. Most of these opponents were killed by the deities, but there were always a few lucky ones who survived at that time. Although these beings may not have become deities, as long as they created Ancient Ruins Spaces and continued to survive, given their potential and strength, it is likely that they could give the deities a run for their money in a fight now.
However, these ancient beings did not have much concept of territory. Hence, many Ancient Ruins Spaces at that time were nominally ruled by demigods. And unless something threatened them, these ancient beings would not easily interact with outsiders.
What Zhou Tian was doing would normally not attract the attention of these ancient beings. After all, countless Ancient Ruins Spaces are reclaimed while just as many are created with each epoch. Thus, the capturing or independence of a few spaces is usually something even the demigods are too lazy to care about.
However, it was clear that Zhou Tian’s actions now crossed the psychological bottom line of those ancient beings.
If Zhou Tian continued unchecked, all the Ancient Ruins Spaces might be annexed into the Main Plane. Not only would the demigods dislike this situation, the ancient beings would be even less pleased to see it happen.
For the ancient beings, the Main Plane was a place of sorrow. Whether they knew they were no match for the deities or were too ashamed to face old friends, they remained in their Ruins Spaces and thus had reasons not to return to the Main Plane.
Given Zhou Tian’s methods, if no one stopped him, it was quite possible that he might pull all the Ancient Ruins Spaces into the Main Plane. With that in mind, even the ancient beings who initially ignored Zhou Tian’s actions eventually reached a point where they had to intervene.
As a result, Zhou Tian initially encountered resistance from demigods. After defeating them and continuing his actions, he met no other trouble in the short term.
However, as Zhou Tian annexed most of the Ancient Ruins Spaces, and since he showed no signs of stopping while he was ahead, it was only natural for those ancient beings to prepare to give him a hard lesson.
Perhaps they had no desire to kill Zhou Tian, but those ancient beings felt it was time for him to cease his actions. Not knowing the extent of the damage to the Ancient Ruins Spaces might not greatly affect them, but if all these spaces disappeared and they lost their freedom of movement, then that was not something they wished to see.
"Go make that little guy calm down for a while!"
"Dragon God, it looks like you’ll have to handle this yourself. The kid’s not weak, and there’s a good chance he might become a new deity in this epoch. Considering the strength of your offspring, they probably won’t be able to handle him."
"Pan Shi, what brings you here?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Same reason as you. Right now, I don’t want to go back to the Main Plane. If that kid keeps up his current pace, we might be forced to go back."
"Does the little guy really have that much power?"
"Who knows how those in the Main Plane are managing things? The epoch has only just started, and yet that kid has grown so quickly. He’s now strong enough that even a group of demigods working together can’t stand against him. Give him a little more time and he might well enter the Divine Realm." freewebnσvel.cøm
"That little guy is already that strong?"
"It seems, Dragon God, that you don’t really care about the outside world at all!"
"Haha, indeed, it’s been a while since I bothered with the outside affairs. Wait, so it’s a new epoch already?"
"Didn’t I just say that? The new epoch has only just started!"
"Haha, my apologies, I’m getting old, and my hearing’s not what it used to be. Now, what did you come here for again, Pan Shi?"
"I came to see if you intended to take action. If you were planning to intervene, I was going to stay out of it."
"Why would I do anything when I’m already this old? It will just cause trouble. I thought it was just a slightly capable youngster, but it turns out he’s a demigod. In that case, I’ll leave the matter to you."
"Then I won’t hold back."
"Just be clear, you can’t go overboard. If too much space-time gets shattered, the others might have an opinion on it."
"No worries, I just want to talk to the little guy, no ill intentions!"
"Isn’t killing geniuses what you, Pan Shi, love the most? If you take action, can it really be without malice? How rare. Now scram! Just the sight of you watching over my offspring with that disgusting gaze is annoying!"
"Heh, since the Dragon God doesn’t want to see me, I’ll take my leave. But it seems, old man, your lifespan isn’t much longer. When it comes to an end, I don’t suppose you’d mind..."
"Pan Shi, do you believe I would kill you right now? Dare to threaten my offspring!"
"Heh, I hope you live a bit longer, old man. After all, there aren’t many left in this world that I aim to surpass. If you died, where would I find so many targets to exceed?"
"Get out!"
With a roar, in a vast Ancient Ruins Space hidden away and several times larger than a piece of the Mainland, two ancient beings had a clandestine conversation. They parted in discord due to a disagreement. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on qidian.com.
