Thus, given the situation at that time, as there was no will to fight in their hearts, those ancient powerful beings unsurprisingly chose to retreat then.
The more they retreated, the less likely they were to be able to contend with Zhou Tian. Even though a portion of the ancient powerful beings managed to escape from the Main Plane without directly clashing with Zhou Tian, those who got entangled by Zhou Tian found it extremely difficult to leave.
Given Zhou Tian's strength, if he refused to let them go, it was almost certain that most ancient powerful beings wouldn't be able to leave. If the situation were to evolve into that, the balance of power between the two sides would have reversed at that moment.
