If only he existed in the world, then no matter how strong he was, it would be meaningless. Therefore, Zhou Tian cannot tolerate the existence of those clones, and those clone warriors that have already been produced, Zhou Tian is sure to kill them as long as they leave this plane. What really gives Zhou Tian a headache is how to destroy them. Remove the replicant manufacturing technology.
If the production technology of those clones is not fundamentally destroyed, then even if Zhou Zhenzhen takes action to kill all the clones produced at this time, it will not take long, and it is estimated that it will be New clones will appear immediately. Under such a situation, Zhou Tian naturally knew very well that if he could not destroy the replicator's manufacturing technology at the moment, then it would be a luxury to hope to solve the threat of the replicant.
Originally, since that kind of technology fell into the hands of world consciousness, Zhou Tian's idea seemed to have little significance. After all, Zhou Tian cannot destroy the consciousness of the world, otherwise the world will be destroyed now. If he doesn't destroy the world's consciousness, how can Zhou Tian destroy everything when he knows that technology?
But if you think about it carefully, although Zhou Tian has no way to destroy the consciousness of the world, if you want the clones to stop appearing, there is still some hope.
The world consciousness cannot really do anything. Its existence is like the intelligent brain in the computer world. It can control the online world and even control the electrical appliances connected to it to a certain extent. However, no matter how powerful its ability is. But it was absolutely impossible to control humans at that time.
By the same token, the world consciousness Zhou Tian has no way to deal with him, but although his body is in this world, he cannot do anything specific. Even without going through special channels. There is no way to communicate with other people.
And in such a situation, as long as Zhou Tian destroys all the clone manufacturing technology that has appeared in this world, then even if the world consciousness knows that clone manufacturing technology, it will not It is also impossible to produce new replicants at that time.
Now, what Zhou Tian should really have a headache with is how to destroy the replicator manufacturing technology in that world. After all, at this time, Zhou Tian had no idea how much that kind of technology already existed. And they all exist in some places. If you want to accomplish that, it's not easy.
"However, I don't know how difficult it will be to do it. But since Zhou Tian has already focused on this matter, it is impossible for him to give up no matter what.
After Dang Xin had made up his mind, Zhou Tian quickly took action at that time.
The group of clones outside the laboratory never gave up attacking Zhou Tian. At the same time. Some of the molded replicants in the research room also got up one after another at that time. According to the situation at that time, if nothing unexpected happened, Zhou Tian would soon be surrounded by those clones.
Although those clones pose no threat to Zhou Tian at all, even if they are really surrounded by them. In the end, Zhou Tian will not be in any danger. But even though that's what happened, Zhou Tian still had such important things to do. Naturally, I don't want to waste too much time on those clones. In this way, the result was when those clones surrounded Zhou Tian. But Zhou Tian directly gave those clones a cruel trick at that time.
With a flick of the Pangu Flag, Zhou Tian used the Pangu Flag, a newly acquired magic weapon, for the first time at that moment when the clones were about to surround him. As a result, when Zhou Tian used the Pangu Flag, he immediately caused considerable casualties to the clones.
Although the Chaos Bell is Zhou Tian¡¯s corpse-killing magic weapon, Zhou Tian can only perfectly unleash its power when using that magic weapon. But after all, the Chaos Clock is not as powerful as the Pangu Banner. Even at this time, Zhou Tian cannot use the Pangu Banner to exert its full power. But who makes the Pangu Banner's own attack power so powerful? Zhou Tian uses it to launch When attacking, even if it is not full power, it is enough to cause damage stronger than the Chaos Clock at that time.
Originally, it was not easy to decide the winner between two magic weapons of the same level. However, due to the current environment, the Pangu Banner is much more powerful than the Chaos Clock.
In the world that Zhou Tian was in at that time, the world consciousness had done some tricks, so that not only Zhou Tian's mana could not be replenished normally, but any of his attacks were severely weakened. Even if it is a chaos clockThere are no exceptions for such an innate treasure.
And in that situation, no matter how powerful the Chaos Bell's attack was before, at that time, it was really difficult to unleash a powerful attack. On the contrary, the Pangu flag at that time was different. Although the current world will also weaken it, Pangu Banner's attack method is doomed. No matter how the rules of this world are implemented, it will be difficult to weaken its power.
The Pangu Banner itself has limited attack power. The main reason why it is called the magic weapon with the strongest attack power is that when the Pangu Banner shakes, it can shake out the Chaos Sword Qi at that time. It was because of the Chaos Sword Qi that Pangu Banner had such powerful attack power.
And what is Chaos Sword Qi? That is the energy that can open up the world. Under that kind of attack, any matter and laws will be split open by it. In this way, even if all the laws of this plane conflict with those of Zhou Tian, ??when facing Pangu Banner's attack, it can only passively defend at that time, but it is simply impossible. Like other things, its attack is directly weakened or even offset at that time.
With the current rules of this plane being on guard, Pangu Banner can still break through the space. Now, the attacks it sends out are naturally a threat to those replicants, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be less threatening.
In the end, under such a situation, as the sky shook, the Pangu banner immediately shot out a lot of chaotic sword energy.
After the Chaos Sword Qi was shot out. Everything it hit during its flight was completely destroyed at that time. In just less than a minute, not only the group of clones who had planned to besiege Zhou Tian were completely killed at that time, but even the research laboratory where Zhou Tian was at that time was destroyed at that time. Most of it.
After that attack, although none of the clones were dead, almost all the clones nearby had been wiped out. Seeing such a result, Zhou Tian was not surprised at all. He just looked around casually, and after completely destroying the research room, he immediately moved towards another building.
That¡¯s it, using Pangu Banner¡¯s chaotic sword energy. Although Zhou Tian was unable to kill those clones very effectively, he caused considerable damage to the buildings on that plane at that time. As Zhou Tian continued to do this, one more building was destroyed by Zhou Tian's hands every few minutes.
It¡¯s a pity that Zhou Tian¡¯s actions at that time cannot be said to have no effect. But the effect is really not very big. At least until Zhou Tian had been working hard for several months and destroyed an unknown number of factories and research laboratories, Zhou Tian discovered at that time that even with his hard work. As a result, the clone production line on that plane was still not greatly affected.
It can be said. The number of factories and research laboratories on that plane at that time completely exceeded Zhou Tian's expectation, and the base that the other party had spent hundreds of millions of years building. Zhou Tian wants to destroy it easily at this time. It is indeed very difficult no matter how you look at it.
When things progressed to that point, Zhou Tian gave up his original plan at about that time.
The preparations of the world consciousness are quite sufficient. Judging from the situation at this time, according to the general method, Zhou Tianna has almost no hope of counterattack at all. In the situation like that at that time, if he didn't do something that the world consciousness was not prepared for or could not be prepared for, then it is estimated that this time, Zhou Tian would have absolutely no chance of being able to escape from the calculation of the world consciousness. of.
After having such thoughts, Zhou Tian gritted his teeth secretly, but at that time he made a decision that he had never thought of making.
In the plane where Zhou Tian is now, with the conscious preparation of the world consciousness, all Zhou Tian's actions have fallen into his calculations. The result is that under such a situation, Zhou Tian no longer has much hope of escaping from this plane.
Since it was such a situation, it was impossible to escape from the other party's calculations by using ordinary methods, but Zhou Tian decided to use a simpler method to solve the problem at that time.
The main reason why Zhou Tian is in such a predicament now is simply that the rules of this plane have such great restrictions on him. And in such a situation, instead of Zhou Tian thinking about how to deal with the calculation of world consciousness at that time and directly destroying that plane, this is the best way to get out of the predicament at the moment.?Choose.
??It was impossible for Zhou Tian to do that kind of thing. Even if he was trapped, there was no need for Zhou Tian to do that kind of thing. Because destroying a plane is not a simple matter.
First of all, if Zhou Tian really destroyed the current plane at that time, then Zhou Tian could certainly escape successfully at that time. But at the same time, Zhou Tian will also have a lot more karma at that time, and if there is too much karma, it will be very harmful to Zhou Tian's breakthrough. Maybe, the reason why we were able to break through this Sunday was because of the extra karma, and then we would end up with a failure.
At the same time, destroying a plane is not an easy task. Destroying the world was originally something that only saints could accomplish, but even so, saints would not do that kind of thing unless they were desperate, because for them, destroying the world is also a very difficult thing, and even if they don't The corresponding magic weapon. Even a saint will not have that ability by then.
Although Zhou Tian just wants to destroy a plane instead of the world, the difficulty will be much lower. But similarly, compared with those saints, Zhou Tian's strength is not even slightly behind now. But in such a situation. Even if a plane is destroyed, Zhou Tian would never have such ability if it were not for the help of magic weapons such as Pangu Banner.
And even if Zhou Tian can finally destroy that face, he doesn't know how much mana he will consume by then. If something goes wrong, after destroying that plane, Zhou Tian will lose the ability to protect himself at that time. If that happens, God knows whether the consciousness of the current world will take action against him at that time. But if Zhou Tian really comes down in a weak state. At that time, if we encounter the calculation of the world consciousness again, it can definitely be said to be dangerous.
Therefore, in the end, Zhou Tian would not have made that decision if there was really no other way out.
only. Now Zhou Tian is not only in great danger if he is trapped in the current plane, but if the current plane is not destroyed, Zhou Tian will never think about being able to make clones according to his actions at this time. production technology disappears. Under such a situation, it was this that made Zhou Tian make up his mind.
As long as Zhou Tian destroys that plane. So let¡¯s not say that the clones will definitely disappear from the world. But if clones only exist in this plane, then Zhou Tian's purpose can be achieved in one fell swoop.
At the same time, if Zhou Tian destroys the current plane, then Zhou Tian will naturally be able to escape at that time. After leaving this current plane. When the week comes and we have to deal with the calculations of world consciousness, we can't be more sure at that time.
It is precisely based on those considerations. Therefore, he clearly knows that his actions at this time will definitely cause some unnecessary trouble in the end. But in the end, Zhou Tian still made that decision.
In the end, when Zhou Tian made that decision, he quickly took action at that time.
It is not easy to destroy a plane. Although Zhou Tian has three innate treasures with the ability to open the sky, due to limited mana, it is difficult for Zhou Tian to do it without corresponding preparations. Make that happen.
Based on the situation at that time, if Zhou Tian really wanted to destroy that plane, all he needed was some mana. Originally, based on Zhou Tian's cultivation, after reaching the Holy Realm, it was estimated that it would take a long time to increase his magic power.
However, Zhou Tian no longer even cares about the karma of destroying the plane at this time. Things that he originally worried about having unstable foundations and didn't use very much are now natural and he doesn't mind using them at all.
For others, improving mana is a very difficult thing, but for Zhou Tian, ??it is really not that difficult to do it. At least in the system, as long as Zhou Tian has aura, he can get a lot of things that can increase his mana.
¡° If you eat some of the golden elixir, flat peach, ginseng fruit, etc., you can directly upgrade an ordinary person to an immortal. In this case, although most of the main purpose is to increase life span, it also has a quite amazing effect on improving mana.
However, if you use those magical elixirs and fruits, you can easily gain powerful strength, but at the same time, you will also get an unstable foundation at that time. If you really want to do that, although you can gain powerful power for a while, in the future, it may and will be difficult to improve your cultivation.
It is precisely because of that weakness that, except for someMost of the high-ranking immortal officials and the immortals who relied on their own cultivation to become immortals rarely eat those things. And some existences who become immortals by chance and rely on a little spiritual elixir and fairy fruit, after arriving in the immortal world, are mostly low-level existences. No matter how hard they practice, they will ultimately be unable to compare with those immortals who rely on their own efforts to practice.
At the beginning, Zhou Tian didn't know that he would encounter such a strong enemy. He thought that having the strength of an immortal would be enough, but because those things were too expensive, he didn't do it in the end. Then, when Zhou Tian had the corresponding spiritual energy, it was because he discovered that he could level up with the help of 'killing monsters' that he was not very interested in things that had side effects. Until now, Zhou Tian has already possessed the strength he currently has. Those elixirs, fairy fruits, etc., naturally have a weaker attraction to Zhou Tian.
That is why Zhou Tian decided to destroy that continent at this time. When he felt that his magic power was not enough to reach that point, Zhou Tian had to grit his teeth and decided to use those foreign objects to improve his strength. .
In the end, it was in such a situation. Zhou Tian gritted his teeth and opened the system store at that time to buy those elixirs and fruits.
The Tai Chi diagram was raised above the head. When Zhou Tian released the magic weapon, the clones never had the slightest chance to get close to Zhou Tian. No matter how hard they tried, when they wanted to get close to Zhou Tian, ??they were blocked by Tai Chi Tu at that moment.
At the same time, Zhou Tian was directly under the Tai Chi diagram and took those elixirs and fruits.
It takes many years for a human monk to improve his cultivation level. After becoming an immortal, it will take centuries to improve his cultivation level. And not until after entering the holy realm. At that time, the improvement of mana would only really require many Yuanhui's training to achieve results.
So under normal circumstances, if there is no great opportunity for a leader-level existence to truly enter the holy realm. After doing something of great merit or acquiring some super powerful treasure, under normal circumstances, apart from stabilizing one's own realm, it is already difficult to improve one's own strength through practice.
In this way, even taking a little of the top elixir and fairy fruit, which can turn you into an immortal, can help Zhou Tian. That's not as big as imagined. Normally, those elixirs and fruits were just auxiliary tools used by Zhou Tian to slightly increase his training speed while he was practicing on his own.
Now Zhou Tian wants to use those elixirs and fruits to increase his magic power, so what needs to be taken. The number is naturally quite astonishing.
As a result, gourd after gourd of pills, plate after plate of fairy fruit, all entered Zhou Tian's belly one after another. Although it depends on Zhou Tian's current strength. It is already quite difficult to increase his mana, but those with magical elixirs and miraculous fruits. When each pill taken can have the effect of decades of practice, taking a large amount of elixir is already enough to be worth several days of practice.
Of course, although the increase in mana is the same, it is because the current increase in mana is all achieved by external forces. But it also means that the same increase in mana has different effects. Not to mention the current equivalent mana, when used, the mana Zhou Tian obtained now is far less effective than the mana he practiced himself. As far as the foundation is concerned, the existence of those magical powers already shows signs of making Zhoutian's foundation unstable.
Based on the current situation, if Zhou Tian does not encounter any big opportunities, then his strength will have improved a lot at this time. However, in order to re-establish his foundation, Zhou Tian will definitely spend more time digesting the sudden increase in strength. Therefore, although this method seems to be effective at the moment, in the end Zhou Tian not only needs to spend a lot of spiritual energy, but it also has serious sequelae. If there was no other way at the moment, it would be absolutely impossible for Zhou Tian to use this method to improve his strength.
But no matter what, by taking the elixir and fairy fruit, Zhou Tian at this time had successfully obtained enough mana support at that time. When things have progressed to this point, Zhou Tian naturally can start the follow-up actions at that time.
The Chaos Clock that Zhou Tian took out shook at that moment, and a group of clones who had been attacking Zhou Tian were all killed on the spot at that moment. Afterwards, Zhou Tian calmed down and ignored the army of clones rushing from afar. However, at that time, he gritted his teeth and used his magic power.He took the Pangu flag in his hand and shook it with all his strength.
Following Zhou Tian's actions, Pangu Banner immediately shook out hundreds of millions of Chaos Sword Qi. Those Chaos Sword Qi continued to shoot out in all directions, not only knocking out the clones who came towards Zhou Tian. Killing them all, and even more directly, cut open the space of the plane where Zhou Tian was at that time.
It was in that situation. There was no pause in the movement of Zhou Tian's hand, and he kept shaking the Pangu flag again and again. Under Zhou Tian's attack, the plane at that time was really about to break.
only. At that time, it was naturally impossible for the world consciousness to watch Zhou Tian destroy that plane. Therefore, when Zhou Tian controlled Pangu Banner and launched attacks continuously, although the plane was said to be unstable, it still stubbornly began to repair itself at that time.
Seeing the situation at that time, Zhou Tian couldn't help but frown at that time. With Zhou Tian's ability, it was already not easy to destroy that plane. The result is this. That plane seems to have the ability to repair itself. In such a situation, Zhou Tian may not be able to achieve the effect he wants to achieve if he fails to do so.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Since Zhou Tian had already made so many sacrifices, how could he be unprepared when he acted like this? As a result, under such a situation, when he saw that the space in the plane that he had broken was healing, Zhou Tian quickly made a new move at that time.
Since arriving in this current plane, the Chaos Clock, which has been suppressed and has not performed very well, finally came into use at that time. After Zhou Tian saw the situation in that plane. But without saying a word, he sacrificed the Chaos Clock in his hand. And when the Chaos Bell stood above Zhou Tian's head and its bell rang one after another, all the self-healing actions of that plane completely collapsed at that moment.
Although the destructive power of the Chaos Bell is not as strong as the Chaos Sword Qi shaken by Pangu Banner. But it also has its own advantages. Although Pangu Banner's Chaos Sword Qi is strong, it cannot be emitted continuously. Generally speaking, its attacks always require a little preparation time. But the Chaos Clock is different. Although the Chaos Bell's attack is not as powerful as the former, its attack has a certain degree of persistence. As long as its mana is enough, the attack can be uninterrupted. Although the Chaos Bell cannot break through the space of the current plane when it is suppressed, it has no difficulty in preventing the healing action of that plane.
The result is that in such a situation, Pangu Banner will often destroy the space of that plane in an instant. Then, the Chaos Clock's attack will prevent it from healing at that time. Even in some unstable areas, the Chaos Clock's attack can accelerate the collapse of the plane. In such a situation, even if there is a world The consciousness was making remedial actions on the side, but it was also unable to stop Zhou Tian's actions at that time.
In the end, it was under such a situation that following Zhou Tian's actions, they quickly caused devastating damage to that plane at that time.
Pieces of space are constantly being shattered. When this situation reaches a certain level, no matter how the world consciousness is blocked, it will eventually stop. The plane at that time was still making a loud noise, and suddenly it shattered.
When the space is already broken, the plane at that time is naturally useless and there is no way it can survive anymore. As a result, no accidents occurred. When the entire plane was shattered, everything in that plane fell into the turbulent flow of space. Finally, under the turbulence of the turbulent flow of space, a little bit Everything was completely destroyed.
And when the plane was completely shattered, Zhou Tian suffered a considerable impact at that time. Although before taking action, Zhou Tian planned to achieve such an effect. At the same time, he did this kind of thing in order to make everything on that plane disappear. However, when Zhou Tian really saw the plane shattered and a large number of corpses and ruins kept passing by in front of his eyes, Zhou Tian still couldn't help but feel It was a big shock at that time.
From one¡¯s own perspective, there is nothing wrong with Zhou Tian¡¯s actions at this time. After all, the existence of those clones is a threat to him and to the creatures on the main plane. It is absolutely right for Zhou Tian to eliminate them in this way at this time.
However, from Zhou Tian¡¯s perspective, no matter how appropriate his current behavior is, it still cannot be changed.The fact that it destroyed hundreds of millions of lives. Don't say that clones are not real creatures, although clones are different from normal creatures. But now that they have appeared in this world, they can still be regarded as a special kind of creatures. There are many reasons for Zhou Tian's behavior now, for those creatures and clones in that plane. But it was still considered a heinous and evil deed.
If there were other choices, how could Zhou Tian be willing to do such a thing. Therefore, although he repeatedly reminded himself that there was nothing wrong with his behavior at this time, deep down in his heart, Zhou Tian still inevitably felt some guilt.
As a result, I don¡¯t know when it started, but Zhou Tianxin¡¯s feeling of guilt gradually changed.
"What's wrong with me? Those clones shouldn't exist in this world. They all deserve to die! I just did what I should do. Yes, all those clones should be destroyed. Not only do I want to destroy this Kill all the clones on the surface. If there are clones in other planes, I will destroy them when the time comes." After this thought came into his mind, Zhou Tian no longer felt any guilt in his heart. Emotions. Even if Zhou Tian really discovers the whereabouts of the clones in some plane again, he might really take action at that time and directly destroy that plane.
Zhou Tian didn¡¯t notice when he had that thought in his heart. His eyes had turned red at that time. If there were other monks present, they would basically be able to tell that Zhou Tian at this time had already entered a state of obsession without even realizing it.
What the monk fears most is actually not the powerful enemy but the inner demon that kills without blood. In the process of practice. Monks will inevitably do things against their will, although those things usually don't seem to be a big problem. But if time goes by, if you do more things that go against your will. Then the monk's heart will also have inner demons.
Inner demons may be strong or weak, but usually they will not have much impact on the monks themselves. Even after they have inner demons, before they break out, the monks themselves may not even know that they have it at that time. It gave birth to inner demons. However, if the inner demon is immortal, then during practice or breakthrough, the inner demon may appear at any time and cause trouble for the monks. Because inner demons are difficult to guard against, if that kind of thing really happens, a monk will be in trouble. Although there are no specific statistics, there have never been fewer monks who died from their inner demons.
Even if Zhou Tian's strength has entered the holy realm at this time, he still cannot avoid being disturbed by inner demons. If you want to avoid this situation, there is only one way, and that is to become a saint. Only a saint who kills three corpses can completely avoid the inner demons in himself. Undoubtedly, Zhou Tian at this time is far from having that kind of strength. Under such circumstances, Zhou Tian really does not have much resistance when facing the inner demons he has created.
Of course, everything has two sides, and while the risks are huge, most of them mean that there must be huge benefits hidden behind them. At this time, there are no exceptions to the situation Zhou Tian encountered.
Although the inner demon is difficult to deal with, even with Zhou Tian's current strength, if it hits him, it will still be difficult to resist it. But while the inner demon is difficult to deal with, it can also bring great benefits to the monks.
Generally speaking, if an ordinary monk encounters an invasion of inner demons during practice, as long as he survives to the end and removes the inner demons, his realm will be improved immediately, not to mention what height he will reach in an instant, but Most of them can use this to break through the realm they were in at that time.
Although Zhou Tian's strength is far stronger than those of ordinary monks, his current situation is actually not much different. When facing the inner demons, Zhou Tian was unprepared, even if the magic weapons he held could avoid the inner demons to a certain extent, he would still suffer from this matter. If it was a bad one, it might just fall into the hands of the inner demon at that time.
But at the same time, although Zhou Tian is in danger when he encounters his inner demon, if he can really survive the influence of the inner demon on him, then the harvest will not be small. Even, according to the current situation, Zhou Tian's inner demons are caused by doing evil things. If Zhou Tian can survive the current calamity, let alone one thing, maybe Zhou Tian can take advantage of this time. There is a chance that he can kill his own evil corpse at that time. After all, Zhou Tian has already prepared the corresponding magic weapon forAt the same time, after taking so many elixirs and fruits, even if the foundation of magic is unstable, it is already at a level that can kill two corpses. In such a situation, even if there are certain risks, it may not be a bad thing for Zhou Tian.
Of course, depending on the situation at the time, Zhou Tian was not aware of these things. Although there were traces of the emergence of his inner demons, as a party involved, it was impossible for Zhou Tian to notice those things. Under such a situation, Zhou Tian didn't even know that the inner demon had arisen in his heart. Under such a situation, it was naturally impossible for him to be prepared for how to resist the inner demon.
No matter how powerful Zhou Tian is, without any preparation at all, it is absolutely possible that he will fall to that inner demon. Even if it weren't for the fact that Zhou Tian's magic weapons are all treasures that contain great merits and have a suppressive effect on facing inner demons to a certain extent, it is estimated that at this time, Zhou Tian is really You may not be able to persist until now.
Because other monks have experienced the test of inner demons more than once, most of them know how to deal with the matter after inner demons arise in their hearts. And based on their experience and the help of the Open Sky Treasure, there will naturally be no problems in dealing with a small inner demon.
But Zhou Tian had never had that kind of experience. First of all, he had not practiced for a long time and did not give his inner demons time to grow. Secondly, the power Zhou Tian used came from either Taoism or Buddhism, and it had a restraining effect on all inner demons. All of these factors made it the first time for Zhou Tian to encounter this inner demon.
Monks in the holy realm generally do not encounter inner demons, but if inner demons arise, it will become a very dangerous thing.
Zhou Tian is in such a situation at this time. If he finally passes his own test, then he will naturally gain a lot by then. However, if Zhou Tian had not defeated his inner demons in the end, then he would probably be controlled by his own inner demons at that time and become a destructive maniac who would not recognize his relatives.
And just when Zhou Tian fell into such a dangerous situation, the consciousness of the world couldn't help but intervene at that time.
Although Zhou Tian¡¯s existence is the source of the world¡¯s consciousness absorbing ancient laws, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to give up on such high-level laws. However, Zhou Tian knew its plan at this time. Now that Zhou Tian has become a threat, in order to avoid accidents, no matter how tempting Zhou Tian's laws are, the world consciousness is already planning to give up.
The intervention of world consciousness made Zhou Tian's situation even worse at that time.
