Chapter 2957 - 959: Light King’s Fatal Opportunity

Without a doubt, based on the situation of Heaven’s consciousness at that time, though it indeed possessed the ability to keep Zhou Tian there, the moment Zhou Tian expressed his intent to leave, Heaven’s consciousness immediately reduced the tactics it had prepared to use on Zhou Tian. It just awaited Zhou Tian’s eventual departure, estimating that Heaven’s consciousness would directly quell its freshly arisen anger afterward.Since Zhou Tian intended to leave, everything that followed naturally had no chance of yielding any surprises. In the scenario where Heaven’s consciousness didn’t actually exert effort to prevent Zhou Tian’s departure, Zhou Tian smoothly opened a spatial passage leading to the Abyss World at that time.

But...

Although due to Heaven’s consciousness not fully stopping Zhou Tian, returning to the Abyss World seemed not as difficult, when Zhou Tian was preparing to return, he caught the attention of the Light God King once again.

The Light God King’s reason for allowing Zhou Tian to operate within Paradise was different from Heaven’s consciousness. Heaven’s consciousness is inherently non-aggressive, as long as its benefit isn’t harmed, it is absolutely non-threatening.

Unlike Heaven’s consciousness, the Light God King decided to let Zhou Tian leave only because Zhou Tian exhibited strength that could threaten his safety. Moreover, the Light God King had suffered significant injuries in previous combat with Zhou Tian; thus, realizing Zhou Tian was troublesome to provoke, he made that decision.

So, the Light God King decided to let Zhou Tian go due to his strength. Given their relationship, if he had the ability to keep Zhou Tian, the Light God King still hoped to eliminate this enemy. Under their relationship, unless Zhou Tian could guarantee an absolute advantage in strength, the Light God King wouldn’t easily let him leave again.

In fact, based on the circumstances at the time, if Zhou Tian had simply withdrawn, the Light God King surely wouldn’t dare to make a peep. However, due to Zhou Tian’s actions in rescuing his subordinate angels, causing him to again be suppressed by Heaven’s consciousness, the Light God King developed thoughts he shouldn’t have.

Initially, the plan to let Zhou Tian go was because the Light God King was aware he couldn’t match Zhou Tian and wanted to avoid conflict; thus, he had that thought. But deep inside, he likely resented Zhou Tian immensely, because in previous battles, the Light God King had suffered not a few losses at Zhou Tian’s hands.

If Zhou Tian had left initially, given the Light God King’s acknowledgment that he wasn’t Zhou Tian’s match, he certainly wouldn’t have taken any minor actions; his mind would be focused on sending Zhou Tian away as swiftly as possible.

However, Zhou Tian didn’t leave immediately; although Heaven’s consciousness didn’t block his departure, it still took certain actions against him. Due to Heaven’s consciousness targeting him, Zhou Tian’s strength inevitably faced suppression.

One could say at the moment Heaven’s consciousness targeted Zhou Tian again, his strength promptly decreased significantly. Not to mention comparing with his prime, even compared to his state upon entering Paradise, he was somewhat inferior.

In such a state, regarding strength, Zhou Tian couldn’t compare with the Light God King. If the Light God King intended to contend with Zhou Tian and took action under such circumstances, there was a significant chance of eliminating Zhou Tian.

Undoubtedly, given the relationship between the Light God King and Zhou Tian, unless he didn’t have such an opportunity, the Light God King wouldn’t let Zhou Tian off lightly. In the present situation, discovering an opportunity against Zhou Tian meant the Light God King wouldn’t let it pass.

Why Zhou Tian’s strength fluctuated was irrelevant to the Light God King. All he needed to know was that Zhou Tian’s strength suddenly weakened back then. Under those circumstances, knowing Zhou Tian’s sudden weakness, the Light God King naturally harbored the thought of seizing Zhou Tian at once.

Ultimately, under the circumstances, the decisive Light God King took action.

No matter what, even with slim hope, the Light God King decided to give it a try. Given the relationship between Zhou Tian and the Light God King, even if he let Zhou Tian leave, future conflicts wouldn’t be avoided. Based on Zhou Tian’s performance, the Light God King didn’t believe he could gain much advantage in future conflicts.

Furthermore, if Zhou Tian displayed similar performance in the future, the Light God King worried about dying at Zhou Tian’s hands one day. At that moment, if he could use Zhou Tian’s current weakened state to eliminate him and eradicate that lurking threat, why would the Light God King refuse such an opportunity?
