Zhou Tian believes that the living being could not be so ruthless in terms of emotions. Otherwise, if they truly regarded those living beings as their descendants, they would not knowingly send such a large group of living beings to their deaths just to weaken Zhou Tian's power.
However, even if that living being does not have a big emotional burden, Zhou Tian does not believe they would let him kill off most of their subordinates' living beings. After all, those living beings have a considerable utilitarian value to them. When they realize that their arrangement is not having much effect and has reached a certain level of consumption, it's likely they would stop this current arrangement.
Indeed, events unfolded as Zhou Tian had anticipated. At first, the living being did refrain from sending their clan members to consume Zhou Tian's strength. But when Zhou Tian had killed hundreds of thousands of such living beings and still appeared vigorous, the living being ceased that tactic.
