Mighty Lord

Chapter 1279: Chapter 497 Demigods_3

The difference between the two was like jumping from a small circle into a larger one, although there might not be any significant changes in strength during the process. However, once a cultivator became a Demigod, he indeed laid the foundation for his later upgrades. It can be said that even if there was no change in strength, cultivators of the old power system could not skip the Demigod stage, because without the ability to become a Demigod, no matter how powerful the strength they controlled, it would be absolutely impossible to further upgrade to a Deity. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Demigod, Demigod—perhaps the reason for such a name was primarily because becoming a Demigod was akin to stepping into the hall of a Deity. Only by becoming a Demigod does one truly embark on the path to becoming a Deity.

At the time, Zhou Tian indeed noticed no change in his power after becoming a Demigod, but the sensory changes were quite significant.

It felt as if his entire soul had merged with the Time Law, giving Zhou Tian the sensation that he was Time, and the Time Element was him.

At the moment of becoming a Demigod, Zhou Tian had an illusion that he had gained the ability to fully control the Time Element. It seemed that, if he wished, he could manipulate the world’s time at will with just a thought.

Of course, Zhou Tian’s feeling was merely an illusion after a sudden increase in strength. In reality, he could not possibly possess such Overpowered ability. However, although it was just an illusion, Zhou Tian had a premonition that he truly had the ability to control all time, only hindered by some unmet conditions, which made him feel somewhat powerless when trying to control time.

Thus, Zhou Tian knew that as long as he continued to cultivate without cease, once he reached a certain standard, the current illusion would no longer be an illusion but would truly become the power he wielded.

Of course, Zhou Tian also clearly understood that although he could now see the path to becoming a Deity, it was still not an easy task. ’Distant water cannot quench near thirst.’ Although he knew how to become a Deity, the difficulty of reaching that stage would surely exceed his expectations. If there were no accidents, based on Zhou Tian’s own strength, growing to that step was not entirely impossible, but it indeed required a massive amount of time to learn the domain laws.

However...

Obviously, for Zhou Tian, who had hurriedly achieved the status of a Demigod in just over a hundred years, it was already quite difficult. Although the major powers had reached a balance in the Main Plane at that time, a hundred years of cultivation had worn out the patience of his opponents. The nature of this Epoch necessitated constant fighting for monsters to evolve; if there was no combat, the monsters would not develop, and all the growth of monsters involved combat. Thus, being accustomed to a life of constant battle, they would feel extremely uncomfortable when the world finally stabilized.

Not only was Zhou Tian uneasy, but according to the growth pattern of the monster power system in this Epoch, any significantly accomplished monster was inevitably a difficult character to deal with. Perhaps, without opportunities for expansion, monsters could remain stable for a short period, but as such a time prolonged, it was estimated that any monster would eventually become restless.

Zhou Tian might be very powerful, and perhaps his enemies did not really want to provoke him.

But regardless of how strong Zhou Tian’s deterrence was originally, when peace in the Main Plane lasted for too long, and his opponents started to feel restless, a war that would involve the entire Main Plane could definitely be anticipated.

And indeed, Zhou Tian had long foreseen the war that might erupt at any time.

As for Zhou Tian, who was then preparing to switch to the old power system, he could not possibly fail to speculate on the various difficulties he might encounter in his future cultivation. After making certain predictions about those forces, Zhou Tian had already anticipated that he would face such troubles.

And it was precisely because he knew he would not have many peaceful days ahead that, when coerced by Pan Shi and others, Zhou Tian, despite suffering some losses, still chose to endure. It wasn’t that he did not want to retaliate against Pan Shi, but Zhou Tian knew how precious his cultivation time was. Therefore, before the war on the Main Plane broke out, Zhou Tian could not and would not waste time on opponents from the Ancient Ruins Space.

After all, compared to the losses he could afford in the Ancient Ruins Space, the war on the Main Plane was something Zhou Tian could not avoid.

The outcome of the conflicts in the Ancient Ruins Space did not matter much to Zhou Tian; even if he lost the ruins he occupied, at most his strength would be slightly diminished, which in Zhou Tian’s status as Human Emperor, was not enough to put him at risk of falling in realm.
