Chapter 1269: Chapter 494 Forced into Battle_2

However, it obviously became somewhat difficult for Zhou Tian to continue focusing solely on cultivation.

The reason why cultivators of the old power system liked to live as hermits was indeed partly due to their personalities, but more of them were forced into such responses.

Once they engaged in conflict with others, they could easily be subjected to retaliation. Unless they eradicated the source of turmoil, offending just one person might lead to endless vengeance. Under such circumstances, troubles would keep seeking you out, regardless of your reluctance to cause them.

To maintain a conducive environment, unless supported by major powers, solitary cultivators naturally had to assume the role of hermits. They did this not only because they couldn’t win against the influential cultivators, but also to minimize troubles and create a relatively stable environment for their own cultivation.

At this point, Zhou Tian was not lacking resources, so there appeared to be no further need to engage in struggles with others. However, the route he had previously taken was different. If he wanted the Monster Power System to grow, he had to keep fighting with others. In the past, Zhou Tian had fought with too many people. Up to this point, he had accumulated countless enemies. Now, when Zhou Tian switched to a different cultivation route and wished for a peaceful life, those enemies were not likely to forgive and forget.

The Main Plane was a big problem. Should his situation become known there, Zhou Tian’s foundations in the Main Plane would instantly be thrown into chaos. Unless Zhou Tian took personal charge, his adversaries would undoubtedly seize the chance to annex his territories.

Fortunately, at this moment, the major powers of the Main Plane had achieved a balance. Generally speaking, although this peace might not last for thousands of years, a few hundred years of stability was still a likely possibility.

So, the troubles of the Main Plane may consume a lot of Zhou Tian’s time in the future, but at least for now, they were unlikely to affect him.

However, the troubles from the Main Plane would not significantly affect Zhou Tian. But the troubles Zhou Tian faced were not limited to the Main Plane at that time.

Besides the Main Plane, Zhou Tian had also made many enemies in the Ancient Ruins Space. Although generally speaking, it was unlikely that the living beings from the Ruins Space could trouble him, with the presence of Pan Shi, a powerful enemy suspected to be a deity, Zhou Tian would find it considerably difficult to raise his strength to the Demigod Realm amidst their interference. freewebnσvel.cѳm

For that Demigod, Zhou Tian was an absolutely intolerable presence. Having suffered some losses at Zhou Tian’s hands, Pan Shi would feel disgraced if he didn’t eliminate his enemy, Zhou Tian.

With Pan Shi’s strength, when he truly set his mind on taking Zhou Tian’s life, Zhou Tian’s troubles were bound to multiply significantly.

Don’t be fooled by the lack of major actions from Pan Shi at the time. Even if Zhou Tian had been prepared, his efforts were doomed to fail given Pan Shi’s control over an immense power system.

Consequently, just as Zhou Tian was pondering how to successfully advance to the Demigod Realm, Pan Shi had already led a group of ancient beings to his doorstep.

When I say a group, it was really just two or three Little Cats, as such ancient beings are not as common as Chinese cabbage, unlikely to appear in groups. However, considering Pan Shi’s strength, if the strength of those beings was comparable to his, Zhou Tian’s troubles would undoubtedly become even more severe.

Regrettably, although Zhou Tian had anticipated retaliation from Pan Shi, he had not expected it to come so swiftly. By the time Pan Shi made his move, Zhou Tian was completely unprepared. Although he wasn’t caught off guard, the territories of the Ruins Space he controlled were quickly overrun after Pan Shi took action.

In fact, for Pan Shi and his group, seizing more of the Ancient Ruins Space held little benefit, as it would not significantly enhance their strength. Without necessity, such ancient beings seldom occupy too much Ruins Space.

Yet without immediate need, Pan Shi and his group occupied such territories with a very clear objective.

Ultimately, the goal of Pan Shi’s actions at that time was singular—to force Zhou Tian to reveal himself. Since the nature of the Ancient Ruins Space made it difficult to locate Zhou Tian if he hid, they took on the posture of preparing to seize all his territories to compel him to come forward. fгeewebnovёl.com

It may seem like no big deal, but if nothing unexpected occurred, Zhou Tian knew that if he continued to hide, Pan Shi’s group would likely seize all his territories in one fell swoop. Under that scenario, Zhou Tian either had to confront Pan Shi and the group of ancient beings, or he would have to retreat from the Ancient Ruins Space in defeat.
