On the contrary, even without much battle will and appearing to be at a disadvantage, the number of deities within the Divine Realm was indeed significant. Even if all the deities invading the Abyss World perished at the time, as long as the consciousness of the Divine Realm was willing, it could easily dispatch more deities to invade the Abyss World.

Thus, no matter how capable the Abyssal Creatures were in battle, they couldn’t kill all the invading deities. In this way, when the Human Sea Tactic of the Divine Realm took effect, it was likely that Zhou Tian’s defeat would be imminent.

However, although Zhou Tian understood clearly that if this war continued, he was bound to lose, he still did not give up the thought of resistance when confronting the Divine Realm.

Theoretically speaking, Zhou Tian was indeed doomed at that time. Not only had the consciousness of the Divine Realm begun invading the Abyssal Consciousness, but the large army of the Divine Realm had also reached his doorstep. Under these circumstances, with lesser combat power, continued combat was unlikely to provide Zhou Tian with any winning odds.

But no matter how bad the situation was, it couldn’t be a reason for Zhou Tian to give up. After all, if he made an effort now, although there was little hope, Zhou Tian might not necessarily die. If he gave up, Zhou Tian did not believe that the consciousness of the Divine Realm, lacking self-thought, would let him go in the end.

Thus, knowing that no matter what he did, when facing the consciousness of the Divine Realm, the opponent would not let him go, Zhou Tian was destined to resist whether or not he could win.

Given the situation at the time, there wasn’t much Zhou Tian could do.

Firstly, concerning the battle of consciousnesses, Zhou Tian had nothing much to say. Although his side was not the opponent, in the short term, he couldn’t change anything. Additionally, although the consciousness of the Divine Realm was powerful, due to its lack of thought, its full combat power could not be fully realized. Thus, although compared to the consciousness of the Divine Realm, Zhou Tian’s consciousness was negligibly weak, during an actual confrontation, with the help of the Abyssal Consciousness, he was confident that he could hold his ground under the opponent’s offensive.

Knowing that short-term efforts would not be effective, and considering that the consciousness of the Divine Realm couldn’t do much to him in the short term either, Zhou Tian saw no need to waste time on this matter.

Conversely, while the war between the two realms seemed destined for the Abyss World to ultimately lose, if Zhou Tian was willing to make an effort, change was not entirely impossible.

In terms of combat power, the Abyss World was currently far behind the Divine Realm. In face-to-face conflict situations like at present, Zhou Tian was understandably at a disadvantage. However, even though the Abyss World was not the opponent in terms of combat strength, in an actual confrontation, it was impossible for Zhou Tian’s side to have no advantage whatsoever.

In fact, the Abyss World did hold some advantages that the Divine Realm lacked.

The biggest difference between the two worlds was that the consciousness of the Divine Realm lacked thought, whereas the Abyssal Consciousness under Zhou Tian’s control possessed its own thinking capability. Realizing its inferior combat power, it would not naively engage in a desperate fight with enemies but would use its advantages to strategize a reversal.

While it seemed unlikely, if Zhou Tian found the right method, achieving a reversal in that scenario was not impossible.

For instance, when the consciousness of the Divine Realm saw its actions against the Abyss World obtaining an absolute upper hand, it would refrain from further actions. At that time, from the perspective of the Divine Realm’s consciousness, no additional actions were necessary since by continuing its tactics, it would suffice to topple the Abyss World opponent.

Once the Divine Realm’s consciousness held such a thought, it would subsequently withdraw its attention from this war. Though the Divine Realm was powerful, it managed numerous related matters. Thus, the consciousness of the Divine Realm, which needed to handle countless issues on a regular basis, wouldn’t concern itself with an opponent like the Abyss World, which was entirely on a different level of existence unless Zhou Tian, controlling the Abyss World, initiated an attack on it.

Consequently, once it concluded that the Abyss World had absolutely no chance of a comeback, following its usual modus operandi, the consciousness of the Divine Realm would cease to spend time on it.

On the contrary, in the situation where the Divine Realm might merely continue its offensive, Zhou Tian displayed an entirely different performance.

If it were another world under attack by the Divine Realm with inferior combat power, they would likely only know to defend desperately. No matter how diligently they tried, in the end, they would likely face defeat.

But with Zhou Tian in that position, the situation improved.

While confronted with the Divine Realm’s invasion, Zhou Tian would maintain resistance. However, when battling the Divine Realm, he would not blindly engage in a desperate fight. Given the combat power disparity, no matter how he fought, it was impossible to surpass the Divine Realm’s power. In such a scenario, surviving required thinking of effective methods; desperate resistance was not an option.
