Chapter 3297: Chapter 1129:

Once Zhou Tian has no way to evade those heavenly thunder attacks, at that moment, Zhou Tian, afraid of death, could only withdraw from that world.

Although for Zhou Tian, the current action is not as difficult as imagined, ultimately, failing to conquer that world wouldn’t mean any loss for him. But if in the end, Zhou Tian is forcefully driven back by those lion-headed deer, he would undoubtedly feel frustrated.

In such a short time, Zhou Tian wants to forcibly take down a top-tier world, naturally, preparing for possible failure was inevitable. Although until now, nearly all of Zhou Tian’s actions have seen success, even targets not inferior to the Abyss World have previously been annexed successfully by him. However, this doesn’t mean that as long as Zhou Tian sets his sights on a world, it will inevitably be annexed.

Even the Divine Realm fails sometimes when launching invasion actions. Despite Zhou Tian’s evident advantage, compared to the strength of the Divine Realm, the Abyss World’s power is still not up to par. Therefore, if confronted with a difficult target, no matter how formidable Zhou Tian might be, failure is entirely possible.

Nonetheless, even though Zhou Tian was mentally prepared for failure from the start, at the time, Zhou Tian believed that even if the invasion failed, it would be at the hand of the World Consciousness. Zhou Tian never anticipated that entering the world, he wouldn’t even see the tactics of the World Consciousness before being driven away by the internal living beings.

No matter what, Zhou Tian has some pride. Even if he doesn’t value face more than life, if he sets his sights on this world yet doesn’t even have the chance to confront the World Consciousness, and ends up directly getting ’defeated’ by lion-headed deer, Zhou Tian would still feel embarrassed.

Actual losses estimated wouldn’t be significant, as long as Zhou Tian doesn’t get truly hurt by the heavenly thunder, even if temporarily unable to deal with the world, since he isn’t injured, he could continue challenging the world as many times as he wants.

If ignoring the influence of the Divine Realm’s consciousness, given the circumstances then, Zhou Tian could slowly wear the world down based on his own abilities.

Every entry into that world enhances the understanding of it. Staying there a while each time allows preparation, using such tactics, Zhou Tian fully utilizes his advantage, and even if the Divine Realm indefinitely struggles with the world, eventually, he will manage to annex it.

However, due to the Divine Realm’s influence, Zhou Tian clearly cannot spend unlimited time on that world. Although failing doesn’t mean Zhou Tian needs to stop thinking about annexing the world entirely, to be honest, if possible, Zhou Tian genuinely wishes to conquer it in one move.

But due to those lion-headed deer, this invasion by Zhou Tian evidently seems unlikely to succeed. Therefore, it’s just a matter of time before Zhou Tian gets expelled from the world. Once the ’lightning rod’ in his hand is used up, and he dares not let the heavenly thunder strike him, no matter his unwillingness, when he employs the Abyssal power, it will be time for him to leave again.

And whether Zhou Tian will re-enter that world next time cannot be guaranteed. Once he leaves and hears that the Divine Realm’s consciousness has intervened, he will no longer dare act against the world. Even if he gets another chance, he might not get to deal with the lion-headed deer again.

Clearly, no matter how long Zhou Tian can stay in the world, his mind at that moment is fixed on one thought.

He plans to complete his strategy and find a way to remain in the world; Zhou Tian has thought of this before. But the issue is, given the circumstances then, he finds it hard to stay longer in the world. With the situation as it is, since staying longer is impossible, considering such unattainable matters is less practical than thinking of more feasible plans.

For instance, eliminating those lion-headed deer before being kicked out.

Although this time Zhou Tian’s preparations were not thorough, theoretically, they were enough to let him survive in the world for some time. If not for encountering and being attacked by those lion-headed deer, perhaps during this time, Zhou Tian might have figured out a way to survive in the world.

Regardless, due to those lion-headed deer, Zhou Tian’s invasion action ultimately failed this time. And given the situation then, with those lion-headed deer already causing Zhou Tian’s failure, as the result is imminent, his heart must be filled with hatred towards them.

Since he’s already holding a grudge against the lion-headed deer, unless he lacks the ability, there’s no sense in refraining from revenge. Even if this action fails, if he can eliminate them all, to Zhou Tian, his mission wouldn’t be considered disgraceful.

Therefore, from any perspective, Zhou Tian had no reason to let those lion-headed deer off easily. Faced with them, Zhou Tian refused to be cordial.

Gritting his teeth, to increase his speed and catch up to the lion-headed deer, when he noticed he was falling behind, Zhou Tian no longer hesitated, risking getting hit by heavenly thunder, he forcefully stomped his right foot, and regardless of the potential heavenly thunder threats above, he charged straight at a lion-headed deer amidst danger.

Initially, Zhou Tian failed to catch the lion-headed deer primarily because their speed was indeed swift and they were unconcerned about the heavenly thunder like Zhou Tian was. Zhou Tian, periodically dropping a ’lightning rod’, might waste little time, but given the closeness in speed between them, even the slightest delay could be fatal.

Resultantly, despite Zhou Tian’s efforts, he couldn’t catch up until he discarded everything to prioritize catching the deer, his explosive strength during such a moment provided essential assistance.

Suddenly exerting himself, Zhou Tian accelerated slightly, and with the lion-headed deer unprepared, catching up became feasible.

In fact, when Zhou Tian accelerated suddenly, the targeted lion-headed deer had no time to react. When it sensed Zhou Tian’s action, Zhou Tian had already lunged towards it during its unpreparedness.

However, as Zhou Tian lunged at the lion-headed deer, the heavenly thunder struck from above. Without unexpected deviation, despite being very likely to catch the deer, Zhou Tian would also be struck by the heavenly thunder beforehand.

Zhou Tian wasn’t overly concerned about the threat from that heavenly thunder, knowing he wasn’t completely vulnerable to it. Although likely expelled by the thunder, he didn’t believe it could truly harm him.

Thus, even being struck by the heavenly thunder wasn’t pleasant, the fact that Zhou Tian reached the deer was significant progress for him. (To be continued.
