Thus, when Zhou Tian and those Deities descended to the lower realms, often the World Consciousness of the world they reached would either treat them as one of their own living beings or as half-residents. In such circumstances, even if those worlds had the means to resist foreign beings, they certainly couldn’t fully resist them at the time.

And based on the situation at that time, theoretically speaking, when Zhou Tian found himself in a world not yet corrupted by the Abyss World, he would naturally face the world’s full resistance.

However, by the same principle, although that world would fully resist Zhou Tian, and under certain conditions even try to blast Zhou Tian to smithereens, at the time, Zhou Tian lacked the ability to withstand such attacks. Confronting it head-on would mean that even with Zhou Tian’s strength, he would not be a match for that world.

Yet, although Zhou Tian could not fight against that world, his inability did not mean that the Abyss World could not. When fighting against worlds, it can only be through the Power of the Worlds. Thus, even though the Abyss World had much of its energy restrained by the Divine Realm, even with such constraints, it was trivial for it to spare some consciousness to protect Zhou Tian.

Therefore, according to the situation back then, as the Abyss World’s World Consciousness acted upon Zhou Tian, the thunderclouds that originally targeted Zhou Tian behaved as if they had encountered a natural enemy, and the Heavenly Thunder, which was about to strike Zhou Tian, ultimately did not fall then.

However, it was evident that, at that time, although the Heavenly Thunder ceased to fall, they did not disperse either. It could be seen that the presence of the Abyssal Consciousness made the World Consciousness of that time cautious. Although due to the absence of thought, it could not distinguish between Zhou Tian and the Abyssal Consciousness, unaware that the current Heavenly Thunder indeed had the ability to threaten Zhou Tian and chose to abandon the action that could have injured or even killed Zhou Tian. But regardless, Zhou Tian was still an outsider in that world. As long as he exposed any weaknesses, or if that World Consciousness noticed something wrong, it’s estimated that Zhou Tian would still face an attack then.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Zhou Tian would still inevitably encounter that world’s resistance later. But should he manage to make a breakthrough before the world’s subsequent attacks fell upon him, enabling the Abyss World to successfully corrupt that world, even without fully integrating Abyss World Rules into that world, merely corrupting a certain degree would suffice to help Zhou Tian avoid the crisis of being blasted by that world.

Zhou Tian was very aware of his predicament at that time, so he didn’t waste any time then. Upon realizing that the Heavenly Thunder above his head did not fall, he immediately began to roam that world without any hesitation.

Honestly, no matter how powerful Zhou Tian’s strength was at that time, attempting to corrupt that world in a short time was still somewhat challenging. Thus, no matter Zhou Tian’s efforts, it is estimated that he wouldn’t avoid that world’s counterattack force from blasting him back to the Abyss World before successfully corrupting it.

So, based on Zhou Tian’s prior Experieпce, the most direct and effective means to quickly seize that world was through utilizing the living beings of that time’s world.

Regardless of which world it is, the external force attempting to corrupt a world is extremely difficult. On the contrary, if action is initiated from within those worlds, whether intentionally or unintentionally, any actions of those internal living beings are a hundred times more effective than Zhou Tian and his foreign beings.

In the past, Zhou Tian used those Different World living beings to corrupt the worlds they resided in. This time, Zhou Tian certainly wouldn’t consider anything else. Knowing that that world was tough to corrupt, Zhou Tian definitely wouldn’t succeed in taking over that world without taking advantage of its living beings at that time.

Just...

Even though Zhou Tian had already made a corresponding Decision in his heart and was ready to reach out to that world’s living beings, he didn’t anticipate that, despite his intention to connect with those beings, Zhou Tian, after wandering in that world for a long time, hadn’t encountered any living beings.

Zhou Tian did not believe that the world’s living beings were hiding because his spiritual power had already scanned all the domains he traversed. Therefore, unless those domains truly had no living beings, any being passing nearby, even an ant, wouldn’t escape his search.

From the situation at that time, it seemed that the world indeed had no living beings. Under such circumstances, without the help of local beings, Zhou Tian’s plan appeared unlikely to succeed.

However, despite appearing as if the world had no living beings, Zhou Tian had no need to stay there further. But in reality, even at that point, Zhou Tian had no intention of leaving.

At that time, although the world seemed devoid of living beings, Zhou Tian’s thoughts were different. Due to considerations of other aspects, he ultimately chose not to retreat when he obviously should have.

In Zhou Tian’s view, even with the apparent tranquility of his current Position, this world must certainly have living beings. Because if this world didn’t have living beings, Zhou Tian found it hard to imagine how it became a Medium-sized World.

Do worlds must harbor living beings?

This isn’t an absolute matter. Some worlds indeed have living beings, but some don’t have any. However, although not all worlds internally possess living beings, one thing is certain: worlds reaching a certain Scale are unlikely to lack corresponding residents.

In essence, for those worlds to achieve Evolution, self-evolution is not only slow but also has many flaws in its unconscious evolutionary method. On the contrary, Evolution driven by living beings can greatly help those worlds. Due to this, most worlds growing to a certain height invariably have living beings within them.

The more powerful a world is, the more numerous and robust its internal living beings are. Although the present world Zhou Tian was in couldn’t match the Abyss World or the Divine Realm, it was, nonetheless, a medium-sized world. To say no living beings exist in such a world is something Zhou Tian simply couldn’t believe.

It was peculiar that Zhou Tian hadn’t encountered any living beings; yet, in Zhou Tian’s opinion, that might be merely because the timing hadn’t aligned. In his heart, Zhou Tian always believed there were living beings in this world. Though if later on, he couldn’t find the world’s beings, Zhou Tian would likely choose to leave then. But at that moment, Zhou Tian had no intent to leave.

As a result of Zhou Tian’s thought at that time, he chose to stay. And shortly after that Decision, facts proved Zhou Tian’s intuition was correct: how could such a medium-sized world’s internal be devoid of living beings?

The reason Zhou Tian hadn’t encountered the world’s beings could only be attributed to his overly peculiar arrival Position. As Zhou Tian continued to roam in that world, he eventually entered the activity area of the world’s beings, ultimately catching their attention, which wasn’t surprising. (To be continued.
