Zhou Tian certainly wouldn’t engage in any trivial actions, and as he walked at a leisurely pace, it didn’t take long before the high levels of the NPC side hurried over.
Although the NPCs did not understand Zhou Tian’s purpose in seeking them out, since Zhou Tian, a formidable enemy, had come to them, they felt they had no choice but to meet him.
"Greetings, Beast King. May I know the purpose of your visit this time? If there is anything within our power, our clan will certainly not shirk the responsibility!" Just like in the past when there were no grudges between Zhou Tian and them, the NPCs were quite sensible. Knowing that their backing was no longer there, it was impossible for them to fight with Zhou Tian. When they met Zhou Tian, they immediately lowered themselves to a very humble position.

Although there had been many fights between the two sides, even though they were enemies, upon hearing Zhou Tian’s words, the NPCs still breathed a sigh of relief at that moment.
Usually, the NPCs might not really trust Zhou Tian’s words because their relationship was as it was. If lying could bring them down, the NPCs definitely would not be polite.
But obviously, given the situation at the time, Zhou Tian probably really didn’t need to lie to them anymore.
With Zhou Tian’s strength, without the protection of the Deity, taking them down would be just a simple matter of raising his hand. Just like humans might deceive their own kind but would not deceive livestock, there’s no need for a liar to lie to someone weaker than himself.
Thus, although very unwilling, the NPCs knew that there was no need for Zhou Tian to deceive them, so they believed his words.
As a result, after hearing Zhou Tian’s words and in order not to anger him, under the signal from the high levels of the NPCs, the Large Army of NPCs that surrounded Zhou Tian dispersed at that moment.
The NPCs directly showed their attitude with their actions, and upon seeing the performance of the NPCs, honestly, if there was no benefit involved, it wouldn’t be easy for anyone else to do anything to them either.
Zhou Tian wasn’t concerned about their little tactics. After all, he really didn’t come with the intention to annihilate them this time. Otherwise, with his character and absolute strength advantage, he wouldn’t have such a gentle response, and what these NPCs would be facing now would not be Zhou Tian but rather the Beastman Large Army under his command.
However, no one knew what Zhou Tian was thinking. Although the NPCs knew that Zhou Tian probably had no intention of dealing with them, they still inevitably felt uneasy when facing Zhou Tian given their inferior strength.
And concerning the mindset of the NPCs, when they met Zhou Tian, it was already very apparent. Both the high levels and the ordinary NPCs, everyone from top to bottom, did not dare to meet Zhou Tian’s gaze, and they also behaved very cautiously in entertaining Zhou Tian.
Zhou Tian had no bad habit of scaring people for fun. Seeing that the NPCs were quite frightened by him, he paused for a moment before stating the purpose of his visit.
"You should already be clear about the current situation. As I have now attained divine status, all actions from the Divine Realm against me will cease. And as for you..." After saying this, Zhou Tian glanced at the uneasy NPCs and then spoke again, "Although you have indeed offended me in the past, I have no need to stoop to your level. I am offering you an opportunity to serve me from now on, and I will not hold your past actions against you!"
Upon hearing Zhou Tian’s words, the high levels of the NPCs immediately breathed a sigh of relief at that moment.
It was indeed a bit shameful to acknowledge Zhou Tian, a former enemy, as their master, and it wasn’t hard to imagine that certainly many NPCs would not be willing to accept this outcome. However, no matter what the lower levels of NPCs thought, at the very least, the high levels present were not against Zhou Tian’s proposal.
Better to live a coward than die a hero!
As long as there’s a glimmer of hope, it can be assumed that no one would seek death voluntarily! Not to mention that the decision at hand was not just about the gain or loss of one person or one place, but rather a major matter concerning the future of an entire clan.
Even individuals know to cling to life, so for a clan, in order to allow the clan to achieve corresponding development in the future, to prevent their clan from annihilation, they should be able to do even unreasonable things. And under these circumstances, there’s no need to say that the demands made by Zhou Tian were not too excessive.
The weaker must submit to the stronger. Even if it was following the commands of the Deity, the NPC group was really just looking for a backing for their own clan. To say that they truly revered the Deity, that certainly couldn’t be believed.
Now that the Deity had abandoned them, and Zhou Tian, a stronger being, was willing to accept them, the high levels of NPCs certainly didn’t need to let the chance for their clan’s survival pass by due to personal feelings.
