However, although the group of Deities felt somewhat strange after witnessing Zhou Tian's actions at that time, their reactions were not the least bit slow despite this oddity.
Based on the relationship between Zhou Tian and those Deities, from all perspectives, the most Important Matter for those Deities at that moment was to capture Zhou Tian. Considering the circumstances at the time, Zhou Tian's failure to use Instant Teleport Power was still a good thing for them; at least if Zhou Tian didn't teleport away, they could rely on their own strength to capture him.
And considering the strength of those Deities, there's no need to doubt it; if they managed to catch up with him, given Zhou Tian's combat strength, he could in no way possibly be their opponent. In other words, if Zhou Tian allowed them to catch up, the only outcome awaiting him would likely be Death.
