Mighty Lord

Chapter 1625: Chapter 584

Benefit is the real reason those ancient powerful beings formed an alliance, because Zhou Tian’s emergence and his actions threatened the core interests of those ancient powerful beings. Thus, at that time, those ancient forces with little previous interaction allied. Otherwise, given the nature of those ancient powerful beings, who aside from themselves looked down upon all other living beings and seldom regarded beings of their own level highly, how could such self-sufficient and non-contentious existences possibly come forth to fight Zhou Tian without reason?

Now, due to Zhou Tian’s actions, those ancient forces found their interests in conflict. Even if the alliance wouldn’t split because of this, there would certainly be some disagreement at that time.

The ancient powerful beings with important matters at stake in their rear hoped to retreat their troops because they had things they had to save back there. If they didn’t want to lose those things, then even if they knew their actions would split their own alliance, they would still not change their decision at that time.

Another group of ancient powerful beings, having nothing indispensable at their rear, would exchange their own forces for capturing Zhou Tian, this formidable enemy, without any hesitation. If they lost their forces, they could rebuild with their strength; as long as they remained, they could create any forces anew.

Moreover, those ancient powerful beings would likely prefer to spend their later years peacefully. Without their forces, they probably wouldn’t care too much about the situation. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

On the contrary, although their interactions with Zhou Tian had been limited, based on their outcomes after clashing with Zhou Tian and his previous actions, they realized that Zhou Tian was far more formidable than they had imagined. If they really couldn’t kill Zhou Tian, then not only would they have no peace, but even their safety wouldn’t be guaranteed until Zhou Tian achieved his goal.

For their own sake, to live peacefully, killing Zhou Tian thus became the most important matter for those ancient powerful beings at that time.

Regrettably, although the task of killing Zhou Tian had drawn the attention of those ancient powerful beings, it remained very difficult for them to achieve their goal. Never mind the other issues — they had already devised a method to deal with Zhou Tian, but once Zhou Tian made his move, they had to admit that their plans could no longer proceed.

Reluctant as they were, once a portion of the ancient powerful beings chose to retreat, they effectively forced the other portion of ancient powerful beings to make a decision with their actions.

Without the strength of their alliance, those ancient powerful beings returning to support would certainly not be a match for Zhou Tian. However, similarly, if the supporters were not opponents of Zhou Tian, did those who wanted to stick to their original plan possess the strength to defeat Zhou Tian?

Obviously, that wasn’t possible.

Thus, if that group of supporting ancient powerful beings ended up dying at Zhou Tian’s hands, that would definitely lead to a series of problems. If those allies with differing opinions were all to die, the remaining ancient powerful beings wouldn’t end up well either.

As a result, although they probably weren’t too willing, when they saw such a reaction from some of their companions, they couldn’t remain inactive at that time.

It seemed no matter what, they could only go to help their allies. Under these circumstances, as Zhou Tian took action, even though they knew they were probably falling into Zhou Tian’s plot, the group of ancient powerful beings still had no choice but to unite and take action to support at that time.

Subsequently, after the ancient powerful beings provided support, Zhou Tian then retreated.

After all, from the very beginning, Zhou Tian never truly intended to take down the territories of those ancient powerful beings. Although conquering their territories was Zhou Tian’s purpose, he was also clear that without defeating those ancient powerful beings, he need not even consider such matters. So, if he thought that he could easily achieve his goal, he might ultimately take a fall because of this reason. freewebnovёl.ƈom

Therefore, although Zhou Tian knew that now was an opportunity, he preferred the idea of collecting the spoils of war after killing his enemies.

Accordingly, based on Zhou Tian’s thoughts at that time, his purpose was merely to force those ancient powerful beings to retreat. And judging from the results at that moment, Zhou Tian had undoubtedly achieved his goal.

Furthermore, Zhou Tian’s gains were not just that; before those ancient powerful beings came to the rescue, some of their actions also led to Zhou Tian making some discoveries at that time.

Zhou Tian can be said to know very little about those ancient powerful beings, apart from knowing that they were strong beings who had survived from several previous epochs. He was unclear about what abilities they had and specifically what collections they had in their hands, so naturally, Zhou Tian understood even less about that.
