Chapter 479: The Old Way
NPCs and the player, Zhou Tian, and the human emperor who has the support of the gods.
When things progressed to this point when those neutral forces were basically all annexed by Zhou Tian and them, the relationship between Zhou Tian and those forces at that time was naturally inevitable and there were some changes.
Originally, the NPC and the celebrity emperor were united to fight against Zhou Tian. However, with the help of those gods, the celebrity emperor annexed more territory than Zhou Tian, and finally the strength progressed to almost the same as Zhou Tian, and the relationship between the celebrity emperor and those NPCs at that time was inevitably affected at that time.
There was a performance in that regard a long time ago, and while dealing with Zhou Tian, the NPC has always been very wary of the celebrity emperor. After all, the relationship between the positions has doomed them to become real allies, and joining forces to deal with Zhou Tian is just a forced reaction, but without Zhou Tian's oppression, maybe the two forces themselves will fight at that time.
And in the case that it is destined to become an enemy in the future, it is naturally impossible to make those two forces cooperate sincerely. If it weren't for those gods pressing on it, I don't know how long ago, it is estimated that those two powerful forces would have turned their faces at that time for various reasons.
At the moment, although Shendi has not withdrawn from the main plane, and the NPC and the Human Emperor have not completely turned their faces at that time, the atmosphere when they got along at that time has indeed changed unconsciously.
It is estimated that even those gods are already ambiguous at this time.
Shendi's support for the celebrity emperor was not because of how close their relationship was in the first place, after all, the only powerful forces that Shendi really trusted were those players. Even NPCs are the ones they guard against. It's that the growth of NPCs is limited at the moment, and they are far from being able to pose a threat to them, otherwise it is estimated that those gods will not be able to take care of them like they are now.
Compared to that group of NPCs, that celebrity emperor has become the target that those gods are ready to suppress at the moment.
After all, those gods were only preparing to use it to deal with Zhou Tian, so fundamentally speaking, if the strength of that celebrity emperor surpassed Zhou Tian, if Zhou Tian was defeated by that celebrity emperor, I am afraid that those gods might also help Zhou Tian deal with that celebrity emperor.
Whether it is Zhou Tian or the celebrity emperor, even those NPCs are the targets of those gods to guard against and suppress. Just when the strength of any force exceeds the strength of their control, then they will definitely encounter the suppression of those gods. And now, because of their help. That Shendi's strength had almost surpassed Zhou Tian's. And in this case, although they hadn't immediately changed their position, those gods didn't help that celebrity emperor very much.
As a result, although it seems that the two camps of Zhou Tian and Shendi are facing each other. But actually. At that time, the enemy of Zhou Tian was already starting to divide in two.
The strength is now not weaker than Zhou Tian's, and the power of the emperor represents a camp alone. And those NPCs, plus the player and the gods, have become another faction. Those two camps, plus Zhou Tian, have become the three major forces in the current world.
If Zhou Tian wanted to make a move on that celebrity emperor or those NPCs, then he would immediately attract the joint resistance of those two powerful forces at that time. And according to the strength of the two forces at that time. To be honest, Zhou Tian is really not their opponent. And if Zhou Tian didn't do it, it was estimated that it would be difficult for the two forces to join forces to invade Zhou Tian. And once they can't join forces, according to Zhou Tian's deterrent power, it seems that those two forces don't dare to deal with Zhou Tian in a short period of time.
As a result, although there may be some errors in the effect, in fact, it was exactly as those gods saw at the time. Before they all withdrew from the main plane, Zhou Tian and the other forces had already reached a balance, and before this balance was not broken, it was estimated that it would be really difficult for Zhou Tian to have a chance to expand.
In addition, in the previous action, there were still a number of gods who did not make a move and stayed in the main plane, I believe that according to the arrangement of those gods, it is estimated that if Zhou Tian wants to continue to expand, it will not be an easy thing.
Therefore, on the surface, Zhou Tian fell into the calculations of those gods, if there is no accident, when those gods come up with a way not to be excluded from the main plane, it is estimated that when they come back, if they have the intention to kill Zhou Tian and disrupt the current situation, I am afraid that when Zhou Tian faces those gods, he will no longer have any ability to resist.
It's just that......
It seems that those gods have successfully calculated to Zhou Tian, but at that time, even if Zhou Tian didn't know the calculations of those gods at the beginning, after the matter progressed to a certain extent, could he still not see the plans of those gods?
And since Zhou Tian knew the plans of those gods and still reacted according to the calculations of those gods, it also means that Zhou Tian also has his thoughts in his heart. Otherwise, even if he was powerless to stop the plans of those gods, Zhou Tian would not be able to resist at all, otherwise as long as Zhou Tian made a resistance move, not to mention that he could really block the expansion of the celebrity emperor at that time, but at least it could cause a certain impact.
But at that time, Zhou Tian didn't do anything, so from the side, it already means that things may not be as simple as those gods thought at that time, the other party has the other party's calculations, and Zhou Tian also has his plans.
The balance is indeed difficult and difficult to break, if there is no absolute strength advantage, even if it is based on Zhou Tian's strength, he will not dare to act rashly. Because depending on the strength of his opponents, if he breaks the balance at will, then no matter how well he prepares, it is estimated that it will be difficult to guarantee that he can block the invasion of those enemies.
In addition, the long battle at that time did make Zhou Tian look very tired, and Zhou Tian didn't mind taking a break for a while. As for the current balanced situation, Zhou Tianzhi did not object too much.
Although for the moment all this is arranged by those gods. But Shendi's calculations are not necessarily infallible. At least at that time, Zhou Tian had other thoughts in his heart, and basically did not take the balance deliberately made by those gods seriously, because although Zhou Tian did not have any way to deal with the two forces at the moment, it did not mean that Zhou Tian wanted to improve his strength at that time, so there was no other way.
That's right, Zhou Tian admitted that there was nothing wrong with those Shendi's thoughts, and in a way, Zhou Tian had indeed been limited at that time. Before the accident, he could not find any territory in the main plane that could be expanded, and the territory had not changed. Zhou Tian has no way to become stronger at all.
But. If there is no way for the main plane to become stronger, then it is better to jump out of the framework of the main plane, according to the general situation, Zhou Tian has no way to expand the territory anymore. But for now, what is limited to death on Sunday is only its activities in the main plane. If you don't have to move in the main plane on Sunday. Then the balance formed by the main plane at the moment will become completely meaningless at that time.
That's right, after discovering the actions of those gods. Knowing that he had no ability to stop the other party's plan, Zhou Tian had already figured out a way to deal with it at that time.
Based on the situation at the time, theoretically speaking, it was unlikely that Zhou Tian wanted to destroy the plans of those gods. In this way, instead of fighting hard with those gods, it is better to let those gods do something, and when those gods think that he is really dragged down by them in this way, after Zhou Tian has developed in other directions, it will be very easy to go back and deal with these gods.
As a result, according to the situation at that time, Zhou Tian formed a confrontation between the three major forces on the main plane, and no one on the three sides dared to act rashly, but he directly and secretly left the main plane.
Although those gods didn't know if they were the kind of congenial beings in Zhou Tian's impression, it was a fact that they could use the authority of some worldly realm consciousness. And according to the abilities of those gods, Zhou Tian can be regarded as seeing it at this time, even if they can't move freely in the main plane, they can definitely know Zhou Tian's every move.
And since Zhou Tian's actions on the main plane were known to those gods, then no matter what Zhou Tian wanted to do, he would encounter the extreme obstacles of those gods at that time.
Undoubtedly, judging from the current situation, although not to mention the efforts of those gods, Zhou Tian was successfully restrained to death. But under the obstruction of those gods, Zhou Tian's growth was indeed greatly restricted, and at this moment, the pace of Zhou Tian's expansion had basically come to a complete halt because of those gods.
In this way, Zhou Tian can be regarded as seeing it now, as long as he can improve his strength, it doesn't matter if he is in the main plane or not. Since those gods are so at stake, then Zhou Tian will jump out of the circle of the main plane directly. Zhou Tian really didn't believe it, Shendi, who had that special advantage in the main plane, could still know his every move when he ran outside the main plane to develop.
The method is very old-fashioned, and Zhou Tian has not done anything like that before.
Zhou Tian's solution is to recover those relic spaces.
For hundreds of millions of years, there will be countless powerhouses in each era who have carved the territory of the main plane at that time, forming a relic space independent of the main plane. Especially at the end of each epoch, most of the capable creatures will seek a glimmer of life for themselves in that way, and generally at the end of the epoch, the number of strong people in the current era has definitely reached an astonishing number, not to mention that the strength of Zhou Tian is everywhere, but there are really not a few saint-level and even demigod powerhouses at that time.
Even if those strong people don't have a lot of territories at one time, they can't stand the existence of having the ability to create a relic space at that time! As a result, at the end of each era, at least a fraction of the territory of the main plane will be swept away by those strong to make the relic space, and finally even if there are strong people in each new era, some of the relict space will be recovered back to the main plane, and the main plane is also growing, but the actual area of the relic space outside has not been reduced at any time.
Now, the area of the relic space at that time was not smaller than the area of the main plane at all, if it weren't for the fact that those relic spaces were too scattered and there were too many dangers in them, for the monsters of this era, it would not be worse to actually annex those relic spaces than to annex the territory of the main plane.
Zhou Tian hadn't had the idea of fighting those relic spaces before. Even the continent he started from had grown from a small continent not much bigger than an island to almost the size of the main continent now, and most of this was due to the blessing of Zhou Tian annexing those relic spaces.
Although Zhou Tian has grown up in strength, he has already encountered some remnant powerhouses from several eras due to the excessive annexation of those relic spaces. Even at that time, Zhou Tian was directly repelled by those strong men several times, but Zhou Tian never forgot the relic space, which was the soil for him to grow. And as before, as soon as he found that his current expansion was hindered, then half of Zhou Tian would have hit the head of those relic spaces at that time.
In the past, Zhou Tian had achieved good development by annexing the relic space, but now when Zhou Tian once again reached a stalemate due to the plans of those gods, he soon hit the idea of the relic space again.
Since the three major forces of the main plane controlled each other, it was basically impossible for Zhou Tian to have the opportunity to swallow up the other two forces, so it was better to waste time there. Zhou Tian might as well spend his time annexing the relics space. Zhou Tian was completely sure. If he can annex enough relic space, his strength will definitely be able to break through again, and when he even breaks through the Human Emperor realm, it is estimated that his strength will not be too much worse than those gods even if he is weak.
And it really came that day. has a strength that is not weaker than that of the gods. Plus the immortality of the human emperor. At that time, it is estimated that no matter how Zhou Tian develops, I am afraid that those gods will not be able to help him.
It was with that idea that Sunday made a decision. They let the gods make the main plane form the balance they want to see. Then, when the other party relaxed, he secretly attacked those relic spaces outside the main plane.
Of course, compared to before, although Zhou Tian was still eyeing those relic spaces this time, when he acted, Zhou Tian's scruples were a little more than before.
In the past, Zhou Tian only had to care about what he would encounter in those relics spaces, and without bumping into an existence stronger than him, Zhou Tian only needed to work hard to recover the relics spaces one by one. And according to Zhou Tian's strength at the beginning, with good luck, he still recovered a lot of relic space.
And right now, although it was a good decision to reclaim the relic space, there were still some things that needed to be paid attention to when Zhou Tian was doing that at that time.
For example, although Zhou Tian's strength can indeed be improved by annexing the relics space, if Zhou Tian really does not make any scruples and directly attack, it will not be without any trouble.
After annexing the relics space, those relics space will also return to the main plane, and depending on the ability of those gods, if Zhou Tian wantonly annexes the relics space, then Zhou Tian's strength will definitely be greatly improved. But at the same time, it is estimated that Zhou Tian's actions will definitely make those gods discover.
There is no need to doubt it, according to the strength of those gods, not to mention whether they can stop Zhou Tian's actions, just say that they only need to send that celebrity emperor to do the same thing, it is estimated that Zhou Tian wants to use the annexation of the relic space to improve his strength, and it will be difficult to achieve the original effect.
Therefore, although the annexation of the relic space has become the way out for Zhou Tian at this time, Zhou Tian still has some things to pay attention to when that thing is done.
First of all, the first is not to return the relics space that you have captured to the main plane.
Even if Zhou Tian was not afraid of the restrictions of those gods, he must be careful not to let those gods hinder his expansion. Undoubtedly, depending on the relationship between Zhou Tian and those gods, it is clear that if those gods knew about Zhou Tian's situation, they were afraid that they would immediately come forward to stop Zhou Tian's expansion. And although Zhou Tian would not have been able to expand without their hindrance, in that case, it would have been an opportunity to secretly improve his strength, if Zhou Tian had put those relic spaces back to the main plane, it would basically be equivalent to giving up his greatest advantage.
Therefore, there is no problem in annexing those relic spaces, and it is okay for Zhou Tian to put his main energy on this matter. However, after capturing those relic spaces, Zhou Tian must not destroy the foundation of the space and let the relic space return to the main plane, at least until those gods discover his actions, Zhou Tian needs to try his best to avoid that situation.
As long as those gods don't find out about his actions, then Zhou Tian can expand his territory without the other party's knowledge. At that time, after having an advanced and higher-level territory, Zhou Tian will send those relic spaces back to the main plane in one go, and he will not have to worry at all, and the enemies in front of him will be able to help him.
Anyway, as long as there is a territory occupied by monsters, whether it is in the main plane or outside the main plane, it can provide Zhou Tian with an increase in strength. At that time, even if Zhou Tian didn't get those relic spaces back to the main plane, the actual impact on Zhou Tian was not too great.
At most, if you have to talk about trouble, that is, there will be too many entrances to the ruin space by then, and if Zhou Tian doesn't take them back to the main plane, I'm afraid that the newly occupied ruin space will not know how many enemy attacks will be encountered.
And although that matter is troublesome, it can be handled well when Zhou Tianzhi arrives. (To be continued......)
