Chapter 999
"This...this is gold!"
Although what Zhou Tian threw out was not the gold coins of that world, as long as it was gold, it would definitely be valuable in any world. If the lord was very brave, then he would use the gold to cast gold coins himself, and the gold thrown out by Zhou Tian would be enough to buy several larger territories.
There is no doubt that after Zhou Tian proposed his tax exemption idea, even if the lord was afraid of Zhou Tian's strength, he had already made the plan to fight with him. But when Zhou Tian threw out the gold, the lord immediately gave up his desperate idea and basically agreed with Zhou Tian's suggestion in his heart.
There was no reason to object. Even if Zhou Tian ruined his territory at that time, according to the gold given to him by Zhou Tian, the lord thought he could buy another territory as his lord. In this way, since even the retreat was already there, Zhou Tian's arrangement at that time seemed unreasonable to him, and Zhou Tian also had the capital to "play".
That's it. When Zhou Tian showed his strong strength, the lord did not dare to resist his orders, and he did not have the courage to raise some ideas that he should not have. Zhou Tian then took out a large amount of gold as reward to the other party. Under the means of one hand, the lord was not persecuted at that time, but the territory he ruled basically became Zhou Tian's private territory.
After all, according to the situation at that time, after Zhou Tian conquered the lord with his strength and resources, what he said was probably more effective than that lord. In addition, from the series of orders Zhou Tian at that time, most of the residents of that territory became profitable people. After choosing to believe in Zhou Tian in his true heart or falsely, Zhou Tian could naturally achieve the "one word and nine tripod" in that territory at that time.
Everything that followed was very simple. Zhou Tian had already controlled the territory at that time based on his ability. No matter what Zhou Tian wanted to do in that territory, no one would come forward to stop it. And according to Zhou Tian's plan, I believe that if nothing unexpected happens, he would use the residents of that territory to penetrate the rules of the abyss into the enemy.
In fact, the development of things did not exceed Zhou Tian's expectations, so after Zhou Tian made those series of arrangements, he finally successfully achieved the people's hearts in that territory. For ordinary civilians, the actual principles, prospects and other aspects are too far away from them. As long as anyone can give them a meal and let those civilians see some real benefits, they will take the initiative to support whom.
It is obvious. What kind of life they lived in the past, and what kind of life they lived after Zhou Tian arrived, the civilians in that territory were all clear. Because they knew the changes in their own living environment, it would definitely be impossible for them to say unhappy words to Zhou Tian.
If the residents of that territory at that time died for him, there would definitely not be many residents who would be willing to do it, but if they just wanted those residents to believe in him, then according to what Zhou Tian did for them, even if they did not make that request, there would probably be many civilians who would do it like that.
What's more, although Zhou Tian did not use any tough measures at that time, the order issued by the lord had already forced the civilians to compromise at all times. After all, the treatment of believers and non-believers was too great in that territory at that time, even if they were civilians with other beliefs, as long as they were not those crazy believers, they would inevitably change the object of their beliefs.
For non-believers or alien believers, heavy taxes were required in that territory at that time, and in that situation, many civilians would probably have difficulty even in their lives. In this way, when they were almost unable to survive, there would be no difficulty in letting those civilians change their beliefs.
In this way, when Zhou Tian was half-forced, the civilians in that territory basically became his believers. After those civilians began to believe in him, when Zhou Tian released the abyss power practice method, everything was as he thought, and there was no intention of resisting Zhou Tian's arrangement at that time. Shortly after Zhou Tian released that practice method, all the residents of the ages in that territory chose to practice the abyss power.
There is nothing surprising about the situation that happened at that time. According to the things Zhou Tian did before, the rest of the territory could not be guaranteed, and the residents of that territory would not think that everything Zhou Tian said was lying to them was not a problem. And based on the situation at that time, since those residents believed in Zhou Tian's words, they believed that what Zhou Tian taught them was a real way of practicing power. Then after having that consensus at that time, without Zhou Tian's needing to force those residents, the civilians themselves would work hard to practice.
No matter which world it is in or what kind of society it is, the life of those with power will inevitably be much better than those powerless civilians. Especially according to the environment of the world where Zhou Tian was at that time, if the life of the powerful people with power is not a little stronger than that of those ordinary civilians.
Even if the poorest way of practicing power is, as long as it is spread, then there will inevitably be attempters. And in that situation, Zhou Tian now directly told the civilians a way of practicing power, and after he proved the authenticity of his words in his own way, the civilians at that time had no reason to oppose the cultivation of the power of the abyss.
Just like the monopoly of knowledge in ancient times, in the world where Zhou Tian is now, the way of practicing power has long been monopolized by the senior management. Although there are also places such as academies where practice methods can be learned, you can only know that just by looking at the cost of learning, even a smaller lord cannot afford that kind of tuition.
In this way, it was not easy to gain power in that world at that time, and under that situation, Zhou Tian's actions of giving the civilians free practice methods directly was more rare and valuable. After all, if it were the nobles in that world at that time, they would have been able to spread the power practice methods of their family like Zhou Tian, it would probably be more difficult than letting all the nobles die.
The more difficult things are, the more valuable they are. Now it is precisely because the environment of that world at that time was the monopoly of the secrets of cultivation, so after Zhou Tian announced the practice of the power of the abyss. The civilians naturally cherished that opportunity very much. In addition, the practice of the power of the abyss was not too difficult, and any creature could find several powers suitable for their own practice. So shortly after Zhou Tian did that, a large number of civilians who practiced the power of the abyss soon emerged in that territory.
In this way, in the second year of Zhou Tian's hidden in that world, the number of "strong people" in that territory was as many as a thousand. Although for Zhou Tian, those practitioners of the power of the abyss were still very weak, and they could kill them all with one blow, but not compared with Zhou Tian. Just compared with the creatures in that world at that time, the civilians under Zhou Tian who practiced the power of the abyss could be considered strong people.
Undoubtedly, based on the power that the civilians at that time now had, and let them stay in their hometowns honestly as farmers, those practitioners with the power of the abyss were naturally unhappy.
With Zhou Tian's strength, if he really doesn't want those civilians to go out, it will definitely not be a problem. Not to mention Zhou Tian's influence among those civilians, even if his orders are unreasonable, those civilians will not dare to refuse. So he said that based on Zhou Tian's strength. If he doesn't want those civilians to leave, then the civilians will be considered a forcing force, and Zhou Tian will have the ability to block them at that time.
In this way, facing a powerful ruler like Zhou Tian, no matter how the civilians view him, they have no ability to resist Zhou Tian's orders. According to the situation at that time, only after Zhou Tian spoke out, can those civilians who are already of great strength be left behind.
It was obvious that according to the purpose of Zhou Tian's series of arrangements at that time, when the civilians had the idea of going out to explore, Zhou Tian had no need to stop them. Because according to the situation at that time, those civilians went out to explore Zhou Tian's plan, that was very beneficial.
Why did Zhou Tian teach those civilians to cultivate the power of the abyss? Is it done with kindness? Obviously that was impossible. The reason why Zhou Tian wanted to help those civilians at that time was actually just trying to use those civilians to achieve his goals. If those civilians had no corresponding value, he would not pay any attention to the other party at all.
Based on the situation at that time, Zhou Tian's plan reached this point and wanted to continue. What remains is to open the reputation of the power of the abyss, so that more creatures can cultivate that power. If it is possible, if there are many creatures with the power of the abyss at that time, it will be beneficial for Zhou Tian to invade the rules of the abyss into the world at that time. In this way, according to the situation at that time, since Zhou Tian had the need to make the power of the abyss famous, he would never have any reason to stop the civilians from going out.
After all, based on the cultivation of the civilians at that time and the strength of the abyss, they should have gained some reputation after going out as long as they were not too lucky. And as long as the civilians did that at that time, Zhou Tian’s plan would definitely have the effect they wanted.
The appearance of one or two strong men will not be too eye-catching even if the power they practice is special. Unless those creatures who practice the power of the abyss become the top power in the world at that time, no matter how special the power they practice is, at most they can only attract the attention of a small area of creatures.
On the contrary, even if there are no extremely powerful people who practice the power of the abyss, as long as a large number of creatures who practice the power of the abyss emerge, and they all show great strength, even if they can attract the attention of all creatures without saying it, it is enough to attract the attention of all creatures.
In this way, as long as they can leave a deep impression on the hearts of those creatures, then when they have the opportunity to come into contact with the power of the abyss in the future, those creatures will also look up to the power of the abyss. In addition, the power of the abyss itself is indeed very powerful. After the first batch of creatures who practice the power of the abyss will gain reputation, there will be no need to continue to arrange it, and naturally there will be the second batch of the third batch of creatures practicing the abyss power.
When there are more creatures who practice abyss power, when something happens, those creatures will definitely use the abyss power. As long as they use the abyss power in the current world, the rules of the abyss will invade the current world. In the end, if everything goes well, it will no longer be a dream for Zhou Tian to be unrestrained in that world at that time.
Of course, according to normal circumstances, even if Zhou Tian chose to let his civilians who had practiced the power of the abyss go to the outside world to explore, if the rules of the abyss at that time corrupted the world to such a level, it would still be unknown how long it would take. After all, the stability of the rules of a world is still very guaranteed. If it weren't for some special circumstances, it would take time to achieve the goal with Zhou Tian's gentle method.
First of all, if you just use the power of the abyss within it, it would be extremely difficult for the abyss rules to invade that world at that time, and the progress of his move would not be great no matter what.
Furthermore, although it is beneficial to Zhou Tian’s plan after spreading the abyss power practice method. However, even if the abyss power is so powerful, if there is no suitable practitioner, it is actually not easy to exert its power at that time.
In this way, although the power of the abyss will be reflected sooner or later, before there are no geniuses practicing the power of the abyss and can grow up smoothly, it is estimated that the creatures in that world at that time would correctly recognize the power of the abyss. (To be continued.)
