Zhou Tian was ready to go support his subordinates, the Beastmen. He believed that, even though they were not initially at a disadvantage, the moment he joined the battle, those enemies would surely meet their demise at his hands.

However, just as Zhou Tian was about to let the Human Emperor go and leave, an unforeseen complication arose at that moment.

Zhou Tian not dealing with the Human Emperor could indeed be considered letting him off the hook. Although Zhou Tian lacked the ability to kill that enemy with the immortal body of the Human Emperor, it was an undeniable fact that the weaker Human Emperor would suffer greatly at Zhou Tian’s hands under his relentless attacks.

Therefore, if it wasn’t necessary, there was truly no need for the Human Emperor to do anything else if he could just retreat upon seeing Zhou Tian.

Yet, how could an entity that became a Human Emperor be a simple character? Although it was due to Zhou Tian’s coercion that he came into power, if the Human Emperor himself didn’t have what it takes, let’s set aside whether he could have risen to this position; even if he became the Human Emperor, he likely lacked the ability to oppose Zhou Tian up until now.

Since he has managed to wage war with Zhou Tian until now, he naturally could not be a simple character. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

If it were any other being, they would probably have let Zhou Tian go at this moment. After all, no one would want to go through hardships when a formidable opponent such as Zhou Tian is letting them off; in an unnecessary situation, anybody would certainly not look for trouble themselves.

And knowing that they were no match, at the moment when Zhou Tian decided to retreat, other living beings naturally might have let Zhou Tian go right away.

However, although letting Zhou Tian go would indeed mean that person had escaped a catastrophe, this did not mean that it was the right choice to let Zhou Tian go just like that at the time.

If Zhou Tian had not joined, it would have been fine, but if he had joined the battle between the Beastmen and the other force they sent, there’s no doubt that with the strength he possessed at the time, their last resistance against Zhou Tian would indeed be annihilated with his help.

And the Human Emperor saw that clearly.

Given his relationship with Zhou Tian, the Human Emperor did not believe that once Zhou Tian gained the upper hand, he would easily let him go. He was almost certain that while it would be alright if Zhou Tian failed, if Zhou Tian succeeded in unifying the Main Plane, other living beings might have a chance to survive, but only he would be definitely dead at that time.

And naturally, the Human Emperor did not want to die. Since he didn’t want to die, the next thing he had to do was to think of a method to hold Zhou Tian in his current position.

Anyway, he couldn’t really be killed by Zhou Tian. Since that was the case, it would be better to entangle Zhou Tian desperately right now, rather than just letting him go. He believed that as long as he didn’t let Zhou Tian retreat, the team that received the related message would most likely retreat at that time. And with that, even if the Human Emperor suffered greatly, it would have been worth it at the time.

It didn’t matter how the Human Emperor used to think. At the very least, after several encounters with Zhou Tian, in the heart of the Human Emperor, Zhou Tian had almost become an invincible formidable enemy without him realizing it.

Even when he joined forces with the Deities and the NPCs, the Human Emperor found that they were not a match for Zhou Tian. If under these circumstances, Zhou Tian managed to eliminate all those Deities and NPCs, the Human Emperor knew that no matter how powerful the Undying Effect of his Immortal body was, it would still be hard to save his life in the end.

After all, the Immortal body of the Human Emperor was strong, but its weaknesses were not nonexistent.

Without his territory, no matter how powerful the original Human Emperor was, he would ultimately lose all his strength. The main reason he could contend with Zhou Tian was that, besides dealing with him, Zhou Tian also faced threats from the Deities and NPCs. It was precisely because Zhou Tian had too many opponents that although he was more powerful than him, Zhou Tian hadn’t been able to deal with him.

However, this situation was not static. He believed that if things went smoothly, once Zhou Tian successfully defeated those Deities and NPCs and then turned to deal with him, presumably, no one on the Main Plane would be able to save him anymore.

If things really progressed to that step, then it was almost certain that the Human Emperor was doomed.

Therefore, although the battle had reached this point, which basically meant the Human Emperor was set for defeat, he certainly would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope before the very end!

Thus, at that time, the Human Emperor naturally had no other choice.

Useless as they were, the team that had not yet achieved their goal was his only ally for now. And under the threat from Zhou Tian, even if he had to suffer more, as long as he could save the Alliance Army, it would be beneficial for the Human Emperor. Faced with such a powerful enemy like Zhou Tian, without allies, the Human Emperor had no confidence in contending with him.

As a result, even though he was well aware of Zhou Tian’s powerful strength and knew that he would be at a disadvantage facing Zhou Tian at the moment, when Zhou Tian was about to turn back and deal with the team invading his territory, the Human Emperor still chose to strenuously prevent Zhou Tian from returning at that time.(To be continued.
