Free Web NovelChapter 1409: Chapter 528: Asking for Benefits
Zhou Tian did not hide his killing intent, so at that time, the living being sensed Zhou Tian’s killing intent. And from its reaction, having some information about the Main Plane, it was impossible for it not to know what Zhou Tian’s current response truly meant. Seeing Zhou Tian’s actions, it really got a bit scared.
Whether it had already received related instructions and was not afraid that its actions would later be resented by those above, or it was truly very afraid of dying, remained unknown. Before, that living being absolutely refused to speak of its origin, but once Zhou Tian issued that threat, the living being immediately softened.
Whatever the reason was that made the living being submit, after hearing Zhou Tian’s words, it only hesitated for a moment before honestly responding to Zhou Tian, "Reporting to the superior, the beast species I represent belongs to The Ten Divine Beasts of the Divine Realm."
"The Ten Divine Beasts?"
"Yes, the ten strongest beast species in our Divine Realm, who have not ascended, are referred to as the Ten Divine Beasts." freewēbnoveℓ.com
After hearing the other party’s explanation, Zhou Tian had somewhat understood the details of the Ten Divine Beasts, but although he knew what kind of existence they were, he still could not comprehend why the Ten Divine Beasts had set their sights on him.
Although Zhou Tian had done many things in this world at the moment, he was certain that he had not had any dealings with the ten strongest living beings of this world. Moreover, judging by the tone of the current living being, Zhou Tian was not confident that if he dealt with the Ten Divine Beasts, he would be able to gain any advantage. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Since he had not had any dealings with them, Zhou Tian really could not understand how they knew of him and why they wanted to make contact with him.
Since he did not know their purpose, Zhou Tian naturally had to inquire about it from the living being before him.
"What is your purpose?"
"Are you an enemy of Pan Shi?"
"You know Pan Shi?"
"Of course!" After saying that, the living being clenched its teeth before resentfully continuing, "Pan Shi and you, sir, are both outsiders. However, Pan Shi entered our Divine Realm eons ago. We do not know the original process, but it is certain that Pan Shi should have ascended from our world. Generally speaking, living beings that have ascended should not enter the Divine Realm again, because if a living being could constantly come and go from the Divine Realm, although they could use the Divine Realm’s rules to improve their ability, such an existence would definitely not be a good thing for the Divine Realm."
After listening to the other party’s words, Zhou Tian acknowledged and understood.
If this world had an abundance of living beings, or could import a massive number of beings from the outside world, then the repeated strengthening of ascended beings in this world might not be such a big deal. After all, no matter how many living beings died, they could always be replenished, ensuring that living beings would not go extinct. A small number of living beings making extra use of the Divine Realm’s rules might not have a significant impact or cause a major backlash.
Unfortunately, the number of living beings in the Divine Realm was not very large. Thus, the return of an existence like Pan Shi to the Divine Realm was definitely not a good thing for the Divine Realm and its internal beings.
The number of living beings needed to be consumed for ascension was not small, and given the rarity of ascension in this world, it seemed likely that, considering the current feeding methods of these beings, ascension would be quite difficult. Even with Zhou Tian’s current method of improvement, it would definitely take a long time before possible ascension.
Zhou Tian believed that the so-called Ten Divine Beasts of this world had the ability to ascend; according to the world’s rules, he believed the ten beings that remained likely did not want to venture into the outside world and start over, hence preferring to reign as tyrants in the Divine Realm rather than ascend.
Therefore, because they did not want to ascend and were focused on dominating this world, those beings would naturally not allow an existence like Pan Shi to disrupt the balance of this world.
Thinking like this, Zhou Tian almost understood why they had sought him out.
If they were targeting Pan Shi, then these beings would certainly be able to figure out the relationship between Zhou Tian and Pan Shi. And the enemy of one’s enemy is naturally a potential ally. As such, knowing about Zhou Tian’s existence, those beings would understandably make contact with Zhou Tian to deal with Pan Shi without the need to take action and offend Pan Shi.
So, after understanding these matters, Zhou Tian almost understood the reasons for the living beings contacting him.
They undoubtedly intended to use him as a pawn to kill, realizing that Pan Shi’s strength was too great for them to eliminate without offending him, having the ability to protect themselves but not enough to kill him. In the situation where Zhou Tian posed a significant threat to Pan Shi, those beings naturally hoped that Zhou Tian would deal with Pan Shi, so they would not have to take action and risk offending him.
