Unlike other worlds, Zhou Tian possesses thinking capability. Given his control over the Abyss World, there is no need for Zhou Tian to be willing to spend such a long time developing the Abyss World.

And based on the information he originally had in his mind, Zhou Tian quickly came up with an idea.

To develop under the circumstances of the Abyss World, it is inevitable to continuously conquer Different Worlds. However, when the Abyssal Creatures under Zhou Tian attack the Different Worlds, the living beings of Different Worlds will inevitably resist. In this way, every conquest of a Different World by Zhou Tian is estimated to be no easy task.

Thus, since those Different Worlds are difficult to conquer, and each conquest requires a lot of time, Zhou Tian naturally came up with other ideas.

A contractual agreement was the development model Zhou Tian originally envisioned.

By using contracts to let the Abyssal Creatures enter the Different Worlds, and then gradually influence those Different Worlds while helping the living beings of Different Worlds in combat. If nothing unexpected happens, although this tactic may not have a significant effect on those Different Worlds, it is impossible to say that Zhou Tian’s initial plan would have no effect at all.

Under normal circumstances, it is estimated that it would take an unknown amount of time for the Abyss World to annex Different Worlds using this tactic, and its progress speed would even be slower than the Gods’ realm annexing Different Worlds. However, once the method of contracting Abyssal Creatures spreads, the number of worlds connected to the Abyss World would be so numerous that Zhou Tian would find it impossible to count.

Originally, if nothing unexpected happened, nothing significant would appear in the short term. At most, summoning Abyssal Creatures for combat would become a widely accepted occupation across many worlds. However, for the Abyss World to develop using this tactic, it is unlikely without a certain amount of time.

Nevertheless, when Zhou Tian encountered the Divine Realm’s invasion, at that moment, the tactic of increasing one’s own combat power through contractual agreements became his only choice.

To speak honestly, Zhou Tian made that decision only when he had no other options. If his situation had been better, he probably wouldn’t have decided to act in that manner.

But the problem now is that, it seems, Zhou Tian’s situation was truly dire back then. Even knowing that this choice might not yield any battle results, Zhou Tian ultimately still decided to proceed in this manner.

With that decision in mind, Zhou Tian acted without any hesitation when taking action.

As long as he has an idea, with Zhou Tian’s situation, once he has made a decision, anything he wants is unlikely to be too challenging to implement.

In fact, though the decision was made out of desperation, it’s not impossible for Zhou Tian to actually achieve his objectives by going ahead with it.

At that time, during the confrontation between the Abyss World and the Divine Realm, the Abyss World was indeed at a considerable disadvantage. Because of this, some tactics that could have been used were no longer possible. Thus, to achieve certain goals, things that could have been easily accomplished were now beyond Zhou Tian’s ability.

For instance, under the original circumstances, if Zhou Tian wanted to enhance someone’s power within the Abyss World, as long as their physical strength was sufficient, Zhou Tian could elevate any Abyssal Creature’s power by several ranks at that time. Such a tactic would be impossible without Zhou Tian’s control of the Abyss World and could not be achieved by his physical body alone.

Of course, although with the Abyss World’s ability, if desired, enhancing the power of internal living beings is an easy task, this does come at a cost. After all, every action has its rules, and if the Abyss World could enhance internal living beings’ power without any concerns, it would have long engaged the Divine Realm.

In reality, the energy within the Abyss World always has a limit, and as the Abyss World evolves stronger, it can increase its internal energy limit. However, without changing the energy limit, no matter how the Abyss World utilizes its internal energy, everything done at that time cannot exceed its capability.

Clearly, although the Abyss World can enhance the power of its internal living beings, it cannot do it without any reservations. Firstly, Zhou Tian cannot guarantee that the empowered Abyssal Creatures will obey him. Secondly, by doing so, Zhou Tian would easily cause those living beings to lose their motivation.

If the Abyss World could enhance any Abyssal Creature’s power without reason, then why should those Abyssal Creatures even strive?

After cultivating diligently for so long, it would be better to be lucky enough to be chosen by Zhou Tian someday. Faced with such a situation, it is estimated that few living beings in the Abyss World would be willing to cultivate. Instead, most Abyssal Creatures would find ways to gain Zhou Tian’s favor, and then suddenly possess great power!
