บท 1160: Chapter 458 Laying a Solid Foundation

```

Zhou Tian, following his original plan to conquer the territories of the emperor-level bosses, knew he could not guarantee the retention of his position as the Human Emperor. But given that he had already lost the initiative, Zhou Tian was well aware that even if he managed to maintain his strength, the difficulties in this effort would be significant.

Thus, based on the situation at the time, Zhou Tian suddenly realized that if he changed his approach to resolve this crisis, it would actually be quite simple.

Zhou Tian's initial plan was to annex the territories of the emperor-level bosses to compensate for the loss of his own. During this process, Zhou Tian had to ensure that he annexed territory faster than he lost it. Otherwise, if he ended up losing more than he gained, his strength, no matter how great at the time, would most likely cause him to drop in realm.
