The result was precisely because Zhou Tian's nature was rather cautious, which led him to make what seemed like an inconsequential deployment at that time. However, now that a large number of Divine City forces have fixed their sights on Zhou Tian, the deployment he made, which appeared to have little effect, has become his lifeline.
Undoubtedly, given the current True God's power targeting Zhou Tian, even if only a part of their members were to deploy, if they indeed succeeded in encircling him, Zhou Tian's odds of winning would be slim to none. Even if Zhou Tian fought desperately, the losses he could inflict on those True Gods would likely be insignificant.
