Given the circumstances at the time, Zhou Tian's choice was not particularly surprising. However, when Zhou Tian decided to retreat immediately, though his decision wasn't necessarily wrong, it undeniably increased the risk of him being discovered by his opponents.
After all, the power of those deities was evident, and the reason Zhou Tian had managed to avoid detection thus far was not only due to the effect of his own abilities but also because his opponents were unable to pinpoint his position. As a result, in their efforts to locate Zhou Tian, those deities inevitably had to exert additional effort.
Although continuing the search might ultimately lead to Zhou Tian being discovered, as long as he refrained from exposing his aura, the deities believed that even if they managed to locate him, it would require considerable diligence.
