Zhou Jun emerged from his sea of consciousness and let out a long breath. Fortunately, there was still a chance to salvage things. Otherwise, if he were exposed and had to face Hongjun directly, things would not end well.
After all, although Zhou Jun and the others had made preparations, they had placed too few pieces on the board. Many matters were still in progress. If they were noticed at this time, their actions would be constrained.
Judging solely from the pieces he had placed so far, they would not be of much help to him. That would put him at a disadvantage in the game.
That was why Di Kun had been angry, and why Zhou Jun had become nervous once he realized the situation. Connecting the entire Primordial Land could allow Zhou Jun and the others to remain undying, but it required far too much time. Zhou Jun could only slowly wear things down with time.
Thus, they could only use the Abyss to divert attention. Zhou Jun gathered his full concentration and hurried toward the Center of Mount Zhou. Throughout the journey, the pressure on him grew ever greater.
The Resentment of Chaotic Gods and Demons around him was growing more numerous. As Zhou Jun advanced, they even began attacking him and blocking his approach. Zhou Jun's expression turned grave.
"I have never encountered Resentment of Chaotic Gods and Demons this aggressive. It is as if they possess intelligence, or someone is directing them! If that is the case, then I may have already been noticed."
Zhou Jun found this somewhat troublesome. The fact that they were merely blocking him without taking further action likely meant they wanted him to retreat in the face of difficulty. That way, they would not need to expose their hidden cards.
