Life comes only once; no matter how formidable the Divine Emperor's Treasure in Zhou Tian's hands was at that moment, it was only meaningful if he lived to wield its strength. If he had already faced death, then no matter how powerful this Divine Emperor's Treasure was, it would have no connection to him.
Thus, despite the great temptation of the Divine Emperor's Treasure, that Divine King clearly understood that, to him, life was the most important thing. If preserving life meant abandoning the idea of seizing that strength from Zhou Tian, it was a decision the Divine King found acceptable.
Furthermore, although Zhou Tian's performance had initially given the Divine King thoughts of retreat, he still believed that when he returned, he had a great chance of capturing Zhou Tian.
There was no other reason for such thoughts; it was merely because the Divine King had absolute confidence in his own strength.
