Chapter 1479: Chapter 547 Execution_3
With Zhou Tian’s strength, even though he didn’t use much force in his palm strike, it was still too much for someone as weak as Hu Fei to resist.
Therefore, without any surprises, when Zhou Tian’s palm struck down, it immediately killed Hu Fei right in front of him.
Just considering the situation then, there was nothing surprising about Zhou Tian killing Hu Fei. Given what Hu Fei had done, it would have been more surprising if Zhou Tian hadn’t killed him. Whether for public or personal reasons, based on Hu Fei’s actions, Zhou Tian obviously should have killed him.
However, even though what Hu Fei had done had forced Zhou Tian’s hand, once Hu Fei was dead, Zhou Tian couldn’t help but feel a sense of emptiness.
After all, no matter how powerful Zhou Tian was, he was still fundamentally just a person. While he had gained many things to reach this point, he had also lost just as much. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
From being just a minor monster in this world to becoming the strongest in the Main Plane, Zhou Tian had put in significant effort and received many things in return, such as power and status.
But, after gaining those things he had long desired, upon killing Hu Fei, Zhou Tian suddenly realized, like so many others in high positions, while he might look successful from the outside, he now found himself profoundly lonely.
Regardless of how capable others perceived Zhou Tian, it didn’t change his current situation. By the time he had expanded his power to this extent, he realized he didn’t have anyone he could truly talk to.
Those familiar with Zhou Tian were either dead by his hand or had distanced themselves. Now, he couldn’t find a single being who could communicate with him. And in such circumstances, no matter how powerful he was, the lack of someone to talk to inevitably made him feel very empty inside.
Of course, such feelings were merely fleeting and were quickly dismissed from his mind. No matter what, even if Zhou Tian felt empty inside, he wasn’t going to change his approach because he knew the many dangers he still had to face. In such a precarious situation where even a small mistake could cost him his life, dwelling on his emptiness was not something he should be considering. He needed to focus on how to act to ensure his survival.
Although his enemies’ actions had failed this time, they had still given Zhou Tian a harsh lesson.
This experience told Zhou Tian that he shouldn’t underestimate his opponents, even if they were not strong. Even though he currently had the advantage in power, if he were to underestimate his adversaries, a small plan of theirs might still cost him his life.
Therefore, instead of being complacent about his achievements, Zhou Tian should be thinking about how to continue enhancing his strength. Only by continually improving his abilities could Zhou Tian assure that he wouldn’t have to worry about handling such situations in the future.
Ultimately, Zhou Tian felt involuntarily trapped by his current circumstances, feeling a loss despite how far he had come. Yet, he couldn’t afford to stop because while he might wish to give up, his adversaries would not spare him. If he didn’t want to die, Zhou Tian had no choice but to continue moving forward along his established path.
Only by becoming an invulnerable being could Zhou Tian start considering other aspects. Right now, unable to even ensure his safety, he wasn’t in a position or had the capability to ponder such issues.
For a being still struggling to survive, dealing with spiritual emptiness wasn’t an unsolvable issue, but it was definitely not something that should consume too much of his energy. Because if things went wrong and he died, whether his spirit was empty would indeed be meaningless.
Now, Zhou Tian had to fight NPCs, other monsters, and even the Gods managing this world. Amid these battles, Zhou Tian didn’t know how long he could hold on, especially since, being cautious and not daring to eliminate his foes completely, he had to fight defensively, putting him at a constant disadvantage.
With such high pressure, his only avenue was to strive harder. For this reason, Zhou Tian’s mourning for Hu Fei lasted only a moment before he quickly shifted his focus to the recovery of the Beastman Tribe.
