Chapter 2560: Chapter 814_2
Even Zhou Tian and his subordinate True Gods felt an immense amount of pressure in that environment at the time.
Although those God Kings hadn’t collectively attacked them just yet, given the strength of those God Kings, during their battle, it only needed one careless mistake for some of the attacks to land on Zhou Tian’s side. While they might not have taken Zhou Tian’s life, it would certainly be a tough situation for them.
Therefore, when facing the battle with those God Kings, Zhou Tian and his team were extremely cautious. In the face of the threats from those God Kings, Zhou Tian and his team didn’t even entertain the idea of joining the fight.
Thus, after those God Kings began their battle, Zhou Tian silently led his True Gods away to the side, fully utilizing the power of his Divine Emperor’s Artifact for protection.
Even with the power of the Divine Emperor’s Artifact, had they faced the full attack of those God Kings, Zhou Tian probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand it. However, as long as it wasn’t a full attack from the God Kings, with Zhou Tian’s strength, it shouldn’t be a problem to block a few stray arrows.
Zhou Tian’s actions never escaped the attention of those God Kings. No matter how they fought, at the end of the day, Zhou Tian was the main target of their current offensive. Considering the situation, those God Kings would never let Zhou Tian out of their surveillance. If Zhou Tian managed to flee, these God Kings would become the laughingstock of the Divine Realm.
Thus, should Zhou Tian show any signs of fleeing, it’s likely that the warring God Kings would immediately unite to intercept him. If that scenario came to pass, Zhou Tian and his subordinate Deities would probably all perish.
However, clearly, Zhou Tian didn’t intend to flee, regardless of whether he understood the situation at the time.
Where could he escape to? Where could he possibly go?
By then, Zhou Tian’s Treasure Space had already been completely destroyed by those God Kings. During the continuous battles, the internal space of Zhou Tian’s Treasure Space had become utterly chaotic. Even if Zhou Tian wished to return to the Divine Realm, it was no longer an easy task.
And even if Zhou Tian had the ability to return to the Divine Realm, would he dare?
Even if he didn’t know what reaction the warring God Kings would have when he tried to retreat, Zhou Tian knew at least that even if the God Kings didn’t make a move against him, the Space God King lurking in the shadows would absolutely not allow him to leave.
Given the Space God King’s ability, if Zhou Tian dared to retreat under those circumstances, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
The power disparity between both sides was so vast that it plunged Zhou Tian into despair.
Even under normal circumstances, without the help of the Divine Emperor’s Artifact, confronting the Space God King would result in instant death for Zhou Tian. Thus, now that the Divine Emperor’s Artifact was almost unusable, if Zhou Tian was caught in the spatial turbulence by the Space God King, it would probably mean his end in an instant.
So, even knowing that staying put meant a dead end, Zhou Tian would rather remain where he was than be killed by the Space God King upon retreat.
For whatever reason behind that choice he made, Zhou Tian’s reaction at the time could definitely be considered correct. Because Zhou Tian stayed where he was and didn’t perform any actions those God Kings didn’t want to see, none of the God Kings attacked him.
During that process, not even the Space God King deliberately targeted Zhou Tian.
After all, at that time, none of the God Kings regarded Zhou Tian as worthy of their focus.
Although Zhou Tian had once fought against God Kings, even managing to kill one, he achieved those feats relying on the power of the Divine Emperor’s Artifact. Without its help, both the God Kings and Zhou Tian knew he wouldn’t have the capability to contend with the God Kings.
And it was apparent at the time that due to the actions of those God Kings, the capability of the Divine Emperor’s Artifact in Zhou Tian’s hands had been greatly diminished. In that situation, before the Divine Emperor’s Artifact recovered, Zhou Tian dared not easily use it, and if he did, it couldn’t exhibit its former strong might.
Without the help of the Divine Emperor’s Artifact, Zhou Tian stood no chance against the God Kings.
Thus, from the beginning, those God Kings never saw Zhou Tian as a threat. In their eyes, other God Kings were their true opponents. As for Zhou Tian, as long as he did nothing, dealing with him after their battles would not be too late. If he dared to make any motions, the God Kings wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate him first.
Whether Zhou Tian would benefit from their final confrontation was something those God Kings hadn’t considered.
