Chapter 3268: Chapter 1115

In that situation back then, if Zhou Tian were to take action within the Divine Realm and regardless of what he did was suppressed, there would be no issue if he weren’t in danger. But if Zhou Tian accidentally encountered danger, the pressure upon him when dealing with various crises would surely increase significantly.

Of course, although Zhou Tian kept the recent discovery in mind and acknowledged that operating in such an environment brought certain pressures, this was still not a reason for Zhou Tian to give up. Based on Zhou Tian’s strength, as long as he didn’t change his original decision, he could still remain dominant in the Divine Realm.

Given that the Divine Realm’s consciousness had no energy to counter Zhou Tian at that moment, even if Zhou Tian’s strength was suppressed in the Divine Realm, so what? Given Zhou Tian’s power, even if it was slightly suppressed, without enough strength, anyone challenging Zhou Tian would likely struggle to gain any advantage against him!

Clearly, although the Divine Realm appeared much stronger than the Abyss World, there were actually fewer beings within the Divine Realm whose strength surpassed Zhou Tian. These days, there’s hardly anyone who could even match Zhou Tian in battle. Even those Divine Kings who once fought fiercely against Zhou Tian for life and death, if they truly appeared in front of him now, Zhou Tian would likely have no interest in engaging with them.

Compared to when he had just left the Divine Realm, Zhou Tian’s strength had now completely ascended to another dimension. At this point, leaving aside defeating him, there probably wasn’t a single entity in the Divine Realm who could pose a real threat to him.

In such a scenario, though Zhou Tian’s strength would be suppressed in the Divine Realm, it didn’t have as much impact as one might imagine. At least at this moment, if Zhou Tian wished, he had the ability to obliterate any deity.

Therefore, given Zhou Tian’s absolute confidence in being invincible within the Divine Realm, even knowing that his power was suppressed, he anticipated that soon numerous deities would take action against him. But as those deities didn’t pose a threat to him, Zhou Tian wouldn’t care much about their reactions.

"Suppression it is then!"

Having absolute confidence in his strength, Zhou Tian believed that even if the Divine Realm suppressed his power, he could still safely leave the Divine Realm if he wanted to. Upon recognizing his situation then, Zhou Tian merely frowned slightly and no longer bothered with the suppressive force he endured.

Moreover...

Although the Divine Realm indeed exerted great suppression on Zhou Tian due to his identity, no matter how the Divine Realm tried, there were certain forces it could not suppress.

For instance, the power of the Divine Realm itself was not something it could suppress. After all, if the Divine Realm could even suppress its own power, its power system would internally conflict, making it unlikely to reach its present scale.

It must be mentioned that before Zhou Tian left the Divine Realm, he held the title of Time Divine King.

Even though Zhou Tian no longer cared about his title as Time Divine King, it must be acknowledged that he had a considerable mastery of the Divine Realm’s time rule from the time he held that position.

To minimize the number of Divine Realm invasions into the Abyss World, even before Zhou Tian resolved to develop the Abyss World seriously, he deliberately restrained his own cultivation level concerning the time rule. If possible, Zhou Tian even considered abandoning that cultivation level.

After all, as long as Zhou Tian retained the identity of Time Divine King, the connection between the Abyss World and the Divine Realm wouldn’t cease. Though Zhou Tian repelled every attack from the Divine Realm, given the might of the Divine Realm, if it ever truly decided to conquer the Abyss World, Zhou Tian couldn’t guarantee he would always succeed in repelling the attacks.

Successfully repelling the Divine Realm’s invasions would only ensure the Abyss World’s territory remained intact. But if he failed to repel the opponent’s attack, the Abyss World could likely be annexed by the Divine Realm. In such a scenario, regardless of Zhou Tian’s defense efforts, he wouldn’t gain any benefit. Lacking advantages, Zhou Tian certainly wouldn’t wish to fight with the Divine Realm.

Wishing to avoid conflict with the Divine Realm, and given his strength was inferior to the Divine Realm’s, Zhou Tian’s best course was to minimize contact with the Divine Realm while improving his strength. If possible, he’d like the Divine Realm to completely forget about him. Hence, with no interaction between the Divine Realm and the Abyss World, annexation could never occur.

However, although at that time Zhou Tian reduced his use of the time rule for the safety of the Abyss World, even as his strength reached its current peak, he never actively practiced the time rule again. Regardless of the time rule’s power, given the reliance on a world that Zhou Tian now had, he no longer held any particular desire for mastery over the time rule.
