Though Infernal Nether Crows were still pouring into the God Realm without end, and the Purgatory Nether Sea might well still blanket the entire universe and cause them trouble while Ling Tian fought the Lord of the Universe, their presence was also the very reason the Lord of the Universe hadn't immediately attacked Ling Tian, buying them more time. More importantly, Ling Tian believed that although the Purgatory Nether Sea made the universe more stable, Hua Min'er and the others would grow stronger by a greater margin than the universe's defenses would improve under its cover. So, for now, the overall situation was still quite favorable to him, and he was more than happy to keep dragging things out.
"Mm, that's true. Continuing to stall benefits you more, especially since it looks like you can hold out for at least another five hundred years." Po Tian replied, a hint of delight in his voice. "Five hundred years is enough time for your friends and family to make some very nice gains in strength. The stronger they are, the better your chances of defeating the Lord of the Universe when they fight alongside you."
"Besides, you're bound to kill a great many Nine Nether Soldiers over that long a period. As you said before, making them and then modifying them will still cause the Lord of the Universe plenty of trouble. I'm sure it'll weaken him to some extent, giving you an even better chance of defeating him." Po Tian added.
Ling Tian and the others agreed. Ling Tian said no more and continued killing Nine Nether Soldiers while capturing Infernal Nether Crows. After more than a thousand years, he had become much more practiced at both, so he was capturing the crows more efficiently and killing the soldiers more easily
