Chapter 3303: Chapter 1132:

Faced with such a powerful opponent as the Divine Realm, Zhou Tian can never be too cautious. After all, the Divine Realm is indeed a threat that has the capability to affect the Abyss World. If Zhou Tian is not prepared accordingly, the Abyss World will be powerless to resist the invasion of the Divine Realm, and then Zhou Tian will lose everything.

Zhou Tian definitely cannot accept such a reality. Hence, depending on the situation at that time, even if it only increases the odds slightly, Zhou Tian at this moment will certainly lend a hand to help the Abyss World. And given the circumstances, since Zhou Tian had already completed his body refinement, his rapid return to the Abyss World was unsurprising.

Then, since Zhou Tian returned to the Abyss World, while preparing to cope with the Divine Realm invasion, he naturally conducted investigations into the Divine Realm’s situation based on his abilities.

Knowing both oneself and the opponent ensures victory in every battle. Gaining deeper insight into the Divine Realm is certainly not a bad thing for Zhou Tian. Especially at this time, if possible, Zhou Tian hopes to obtain more information about the Divine Realm. By knowing the Divine Realm’s news, some actions of the Divine Realm’s consciousness can be predicted by Zhou Tian. Although not necessarily accurate, it will at least make his preparatory work much easier.

Thus, following this mindset, Zhou Tian was not surprised to send people to explore the Divine Realm’s situation. And given the circumstances, after dispatching his subordinates, they indeed returned with a considerable amount of information in a very short time.

The consciousness of the Divine Realm indeed guards against Zhou Tian as if he were a thief. If Zhou Tian dared to approach the Divine Realm, there would be no doubt that the Divine Realm would immediately send soldiers to encircle him. If not for the Divine Realm consciousness being out of state, Zhou Tian, despite his strength, would not dare to approach the Divine Realm.

However, although the Divine Realm consciousness defends against Zhou Tian, it only guards against him. Apart from Zhou Tian, even if Abyssal Creatures entered the Divine Realm, the Divine Realm consciousness would definitely treat them equally at the time.

Firstly, for the Divine Realm consciousness, regardless of the world the living beings come from, as long as they enter its interior, they are bound to be controlled. Thus, if any living beings enter the Divine Realm, they might often be assimilated and controlled. Therefore, even the living beings from the enemy’s interior wouldn’t be excessively regarded as hostility at that time.

Secondly, and this is the most important point, the reason why the Divine Realm has enormous strength and energy now is due to its immense inclusivity. If the Divine Realm didn’t treat all living beings that enter equally, thereby making most feel that their potential for development is greater, it probably wouldn’t become the center of Myriad Worlds as it is today.

Thus, since the Divine Realm managed to come this far with such tactics, without a particular reason, it certainly wouldn’t break its rules at that time! Even though few would know if the Divine Realm consciousness did that, given the thinking capability of the Divine Realm consciousness, it wouldn’t do such a thing.

If not for the core world rules being as they are, the Divine Realm consciousness wouldn’t behave as it usually does. And since it’s at its core rule, no matter how powerful the Divine Realm is, its attitude toward external living beings will absolutely remain the same.

It’s evident that although the Divine Realm grew by such means, due to its behavior, it unwittingly gave Zhou Tian convenience.

Whether or not Zhou Tian enters the Divine Realm doesn’t matter. As long as his subordinates can enter the Divine Realm at the time, without Zhou Tian’s control, whatever information the Abyssal Creatures wish to gather about the Divine Realm, they just need to spend some resources to inquire, summarize that information, and it would provide Zhou Tian with what he needs to know.

Needless to say, Zhou Tian at the time did not lack resources and was capable of dispatching sufficient subordinates, so the information he needed was quickly obtained.

The general situation was not far off from what Zhou Tian originally expected. As Zhou Tian anticipated, the Divine Realm consciousness had just recently "exited seclusion". And at that time, the situation set up by Zhou Tian in the Divine Realm also played its role. When the Divine Realm consciousness discovered internal chaos upon exiting seclusion, while its original intention wasn’t clear, it did not stand idly by upon seeing the Divine Realm’s turmoil.

At that moment, the Divine Realm consciousness didn’t have much choice. Despite its lack of wisdom, even if it were as knowledgeable in pondering problems as Zhou Tian, being in such an environment, it was unlikely to make any other response.

Ultimately, however formidable the Divine Realm consciousness is, its strength comes from the Divine Realm. Thus, when the Divine Realm is strong, it is strong; when the Divine Realm is weak, it is weak. Therefore, while minor turmoils within the Divine Realm may not merit much attention because of its powerful strength, significant internal chaos could potentially affect the Divine Realm’s overall strength.

After all, even a mighty empire in the Mortal World might crumble due to a civil strife, and should the Divine Realm’s turmoil reach a certain level, even if it doesn’t directly lead to destruction, its power will inevitably reduce greatly. Such a situation is what the Divine Realm consciousness is most unhappy to see.

Even instinctively, when problems arise in the Divine Realm, the consciousness will step forth immediately to quell the chaos. Thus, just like Zhou Tian planned, regardless of whether the Divine Realm’s consciousness initially considered invading the Abyss World, as long as the Divine Realm’s turmoil isn’t quelled, it will inevitably be held up by that matter.

However, as Zhou Tian thought, even though his previous deployment achieved the desired effect, delaying the Divine Realm consciousness due to the internal chaos of the Divine Realm, the Divine Realm consciousness’s ability means that no matter how severe the internal chaos looks, as long as it chooses to intervene, quelling it is merely a matter of time.

After all, the internal chaos within the Divine Realm arose because the True Gods and even the Divine Kings were vying for the vacant positions of Divine Kings. Under such circumstances, where there was no external force interference, the emergence of so many vacant Divine King positions would naturally drive those True Gods into a frenzy.

However, regardless of the extent of chaos among those deities at the time, if the Divine Realm consciousness intervenes, filling those Divine King vacancies would be a matter of moments. No matter if its actions were right or wrong, once the Divine Realm consciousness fills those Divine King positions, the True Gods, having nothing left to contend for, would have no choice but to calm down.

Of course, such matters can’t be handled by the Divine Realm consciousness too blatantly, so although such actions are certain to be taken, there still has to be some concealment of its tactics during the process. Thus, although the internal chaos in the Divine Realm is destined to be quelled, when exactly this turmoil will settle depends on the speed of the Divine Realm consciousness’s methods.

At this moment, Zhou Tian only needs to estimate when the Divine Realm consciousness will quell the chaos. As long as he can roughly predict when the Divine Realm consciousness will settle internal chaos, he can prepare for a possible invasion by the Divine Realm immediately after. Such a reaction may be excessive, but it’s estimated not to be wrong. (To be continued.
