Regardless of the circumstances, at that time Zhou Tian could not allow the main force of the opposition to approach him. After all, if one were to really think about it, Zhou Tian was well aware of his own limitations—if such a multitude of elite deities were to get close, no matter how many strategic defenses he had in place, they could effortlessly overwhelm him if they joined forces. And if Zhou Tian himself were captured by the enemies, all his previous deployments would become meaningless.
Therefore, from any angle of consideration, Zhou Tian could not possibly allow those deities to close in. Given the situation at the time, when those deities attempted to approach Zhou Tian, it was unsurprising that he took immediate action to intercept them.
In fact, at that moment, Zhou Tian was likely the only one capable of intercepting those deities.
