1276: Chapter 496 Retreat from the Main Plane_3 1276: Chapter 496 Retreat from the Main Plane_3 An undertaking must be profitable to draw the attention of others.
When soliciting allies, even if it’s for one’s own sake, Pan Shi must ensure that his allies can derive certain benefits from their actions.
Otherwise, no matter whether the task is accomplished or not, if his allies don’t benefit, they will inevitably harbor dissatisfaction toward him.
Now, how did Pan Shi manage to rally those allies against Zhou Tian regardless?
Judging from the outco of their combat, it was clear that the result could not have possibly satisfied Pan Shi’s allies.
What is the situation now?
Although there wasn’t a defeat, the fact that Zhou Tian escaped to the Main Plane while they were powerless to stop him hardly made any difference from being defeated.
At that ti, the reasons the ancient beings had for confronting Zhou Tian beca irrelevant.
Given the current mont, due to Pan Shi’s instigation, those beings had already ford deadly enmities with Zhou Tian.
They wouldn’t forget how Zhou Tian held grudges against them after their previous conflicts, and they believed that given the opportunity, Zhou Tian would surely seek revenge.
If it were just any being, then having them as an enemy was no big deal; as these ancient existences advanced to their current state, who among them didn’t have a few adversaries?
Countless insignificant beings bore grudges against them, but no matter how much they despised them, there were very few who actually had the strength to take revenge.
Therefore, if Zhou Tian’s power had been weak, then offending Zhou Tian wouldn’t have been a cause for concern for them.
To these ancient beings, a weak existence wasn’t worth their consideration.
Having offended such, they reasoned, should they fear retaliation?
But now the problem was that Zhou Tian was no ordinary opponent.
Having offended Zhou Tian, these ancient beings genuinely worried about his vengeance.
First and foremost, Zhou Tian possessed an immortal body, which ant that when seeking revenge, he wouldn’t have to worry about the consequences of failure.
If he found even the slightest opportunity, Zhou Tian would undoubtedly exact his revenge.
And regardless of whether his actions were successful or not, those ancient beings would be helpless against him.
What made these ancient existences feel even more uncomfortable was that Zhou Tian had the Main Plane as a retreat.
As long as he fled there, it would be difficult for anyone seeking revenge to pursue him.
Given the situation at the ti, it was obvious that these ancient beings could only take a passive beating.
It’s imaginable that no one would be happy about finding themselves in such a predicant.
Thus, even though no one voiced any objections, the ancient beings Pan Shi had summoned were extrely displeased with having been dragged into offending Zhou Tian, such a troubleso enemy.
Had it not been for their substantial past relationships, had they been re temporary allies, it is likely that Pan Shi would have t with scorn and contempt at that ti.
And as for the situation at that ti, it was impossible for Pan Shi to be oblivious to it.
However, even knowing the thoughts of his allies, what could he have done?
He was utterly powerless to refute anything then.
One could even say that Pan Shi himself was among those who regretted their decisions.
Earlier, to confront Zhou Tian, Pan Shi’s aim was to show strength to certain beings.
He was not unaware of Zhou Tian’s powerful strength, but he still had underestimated his opponent.
Pan Shi’s estimation of Zhou Tian’s strength was not mistaken; it was quite close to what he had expected.
The only thing Pan Shi hadn’t anticipated, after having ascended in this epoch to the point Zhou Tian had, was possessing the Human Emperor’s immortal body, an ability so counter to the natural order.
Consequently, not anticipating that Zhou Tian was unkillable, so actions Pan Shi took did not have the pre-set effect they were supposed to when applied to Zhou Tian.
As a result, after repeated failures, not only did the intended show of force Pan Shi desired fail to materialize, but he ended up losing significant face as well.
It’s believed that had Zhou Tian’s retaliatory actions already been initiated, the pressure on Pan Shi would be even greater than it was at that mont.
In that situation, although Pan Shi was reluctant to disband the team, his reputation had been greatly impacted.
His allies were all harboring grudges against him, and no matter what he said, it was unlikely that anyone would listen anymore.
Hence, knowing that saying anything more would be fruitless, Pan Shi simply forbore from making any such futile attempts.
And so, with Zhou Tian having escaped to the Main Plane and no longer showing himself no matter how they provoked him, the team Pan Shi had assembled disbanded then and there.
After Pan Shi’s team had dissolved, upon receiving the news, Zhou Tian began to take corresponding actions in secret.
Revenge against Pan Shi?
In the past, Zhou Tian would have indeed pursued such a course.
This ti Pan Shi’s actions truly posed a great threat to Zhou Tian; had it not been for the Human Emperor’s immortal body, and had Zhou Tian not had so strength of his own, maybe he actually might have already lost his life under their encirclent.(To be continued.
