Chapter 1532: 560_4
Thus, based on Zhou Tian’s performance, the living beings suddenly discovered at that moment that even though they were not dividing their soldiers and were merely preparing to confine Zhou Tian to his location, there was also such a great risk involved. And for those living beings who never intended to take risks from the beginning, having such a thought was naturally discomforting.
It was as if by staying put, they could unknowingly die at Zhou Tian’s hands. After those several incidents had occurred, if given the choice, it seemed that each of those living beings would have preferred to escape far away! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
At that time, those living beings obviously had no chance to retreat from their location, but even if they could follow orders to stay, fearing Zhou Tian in their hearts, those living beings probably only remembered worrying about their own safety while defending to prevent Zhou Tian from breaking through. Given their state, even if they didn’t relax their guard, it was unlikely they could wholeheartedly focus on it.
Given that situation, if Zhou Tian had indeed decided to break through, then his chances of successfully escaping were actually quite significant. However, upon encountering that opportunity to break out, Zhou Tian hesitated for a moment before choosing to give it up, ultimately due to other considerations, he did not choose to breakout then.
Even now, with such a good opportunity to break out, Zhou Tian would still not take action.
Firstly, although Zhou Tian was trapped, according to his thinking at the time, he did not feel the need or see the necessity to breakout.
The need to breakout stemmed from the possibility of death if one stayed put, and typically, those trapped would consider breaking out only if they did not want to die. But the problem now was, although Zhou Tian was trapped, he was not actually in any danger.
There was no necessity at present. If necessary, Zhou Tian merely had to absorb his several clone bodies, and based on his cultivation level at that time, it was estimated that he could ascend immediately. And as long as Zhou Tian was willing to ascend, even if the Human Emperor and all those living beings joined forces against him, it was likely they still couldn’t do anything to him.
Therefore, Zhou Tian, who possessed the ability to ascend, was not in any danger; being trapped was merely that—trapped. Other than certain restrictions on his actions, Zhou Tian was not in any life-threatening danger.
Since there was no life-threatening danger, whether to breakout or not was not particularly important to Zhou Tian.
After all, Zhou Tian just needed to achieve his goals, and there were no specific requirements for how those goals were accomplished.
Thus, breaking out or staying put was not a very important matter to Zhou Tian. What he truly cared about at the moment was just one thing: how his strength had improved, and how much more time was needed before he could possess the ability to directly combat those living beings.
Under this circumstance, whether to breakout became not a matter of capability for Zhou Tian, but rather a question of what action would be most beneficial to him.
Ultimately, at this moment, whether Zhou Tian decided to breakout depended on the assessment of the benefits involved. If breaking out was beneficial, then Zhou Tian would certainly have chosen to breakout. But if staying put made it easier to achieve his goals, then even if those living beings cleared a path for him, Zhou Tian would likely choose not to leave.
So the question was, between staying and leaving, which was more advantageous for Zhou Tian at this time?
Firstly, at this time, Zhou Tian needed to ascertain the goal of his actions. Undoubtedly, though the purpose varied, Zhou Tian’s goal at this time was always to enhance his strength. In this world, other than hunting and killing the beings of this world, he seemingly had no other choice to enhance his strength. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Thus, upon thinking this through, Zhou Tian made his decision. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to cast a recommendation vote at QiDian (qidian.com), or a monthly ticket; your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
