Zhou Tian’s attacks continuously fell, but it’s undeniable that most of them didn’t hit the Space God King. Even if Zhou Tian’s attacks did hit at the time, the Space God King could easily block them using his abilities.

Undoubtedly, given the situation at the time, Zhou Tian’s attacks seemed effective on the surface. However, in reality, because Zhou Tian’s attacks did not pose a threat to the Space God King, no matter how it looked, Zhou Tian was essentially making futile efforts. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Despite knowing that his actions weren’t very effective at the time, Zhou Tian did not stop attacking the Space God King. He knew the Space God King was his greatest threat. Thus, he wasn’t aiming to defeat him, but at the very least, before the Space God King could act, Zhou Tian had to find a way to force him out of the Treasure Space.

If this formidable enemy was not forced to leave, Zhou Tian truly could not rest easy at the time.

Unfortunately, although Zhou Tian had the ability to force the Space God King back through the power of the Divine Emperor artifact, accomplishing this required more than just reliance on the artifact’s power; it also needed the aid of many True Gods.

In fact, before this, Zhou Tian managed to repel the Space God King by relying on the power of True Gods under his command. Without their help, it wouldn’t have been easy for Zhou Tian to force the enemy back.

Now, although Zhou Tian had made some preparations, the fact that he himself had the energy to take on such a task didn’t mean his True Gods were on constant alert. Thus, even if he managed to inform the True Gods in a short time, he’d still need some time before they could participate in the battle.

So, at the beginning, Zhou Tian had to face the battle alone. Most True Gods under his command were cultivated by him, and True Gods nurtured through Deityhood inevitably had an unstable foundation. Whether for enhancing their strength or stabilizing their newfound power, they required some cultivation.

Zhou Tian did not regret allowing the True Gods to cultivate, but at that moment, he had to bear the responsibility of blocking the Space God King alone. If Zhou Tian was unable to repel the Space God King, then whatever the Space God King was planning in his mind would likely come to fruition.

In fact, the Space God King easily achieved his goal at that time.

"Boom!"

Although Zhou Tian was already trying hard to attack the Space God King, there was still a significant gap in strength between him and the Space God King. Thus, even with continuous attacks, Zhou Tian couldn’t stop the Space God King’s actions. Eventually, amidst Zhou Tian’s relentless attacks, the Space God King completed his plan, and with a loud roar, part of the space barrier of Zhou Tian’s Treasure Space was shattered.

The space destroyed by the Space God King wasn’t very large, but considering Zhou Tian’s situation at the time, that seemingly insignificant action was enough to cause Zhou Tian to fall into an irreparable situation.

No matter how small the shattered space was, the action taken by the Space God King would inevitably cause the aura of Zhou Tian’s Treasure Space to leak. Once the location of Zhou Tian’s Treasure Space was known to the outside God Kings, given their power, how could Zhou Tian stop them from entering the Treasure Space?

Thus, although not much action was taken at the time, this was all part of the Space God King’s final plan. Now that he had successfully accomplished this, there was no need for him to remain any longer.

In the end, although the Space God King intended to deal with Zhou Tian, he had no intention of acting openly for the Divine Emperor artifact.

If he directly confronted Zhou Tian, he’d become too conspicuous, and likely, before he could capture Zhou Tian, he’d attract the attention of other God Kings. Given their strength, if they decided to eliminate him as a threat, the Space God King probably would have no chance to get the Divine Emperor artifact.

Under these circumstances, the Space God King absolutely did not have the courage to face those God Kings. So, having achieved his goal, he immediately withdrew.

The Space God King’s retreat was decisive, but it left Zhou Tian in a dire predicament.

The Space God King’s actions were meant to harm Zhou Tian, so the fact that Zhou Tian suffered from this retreat was a natural outcome.

However, even though the Space God King had successfully broken the stalemate between Zhou Tian and the God Kings according to his plan, whether Zhou Tian would fight to the death with the God Kings was still uncertain.

In fact, as soon as the Space God King withdrew, Zhou Tian realized the purpose behind his actions. Although it was too late to stop him, now that Zhou Tian understood the Space God King’s intentions, he could still make some compensatory actions.
