Undoubtedly, Zhou Tian definitely wouldn't want that situation to occur. So, it was no surprise that, at the time, in order to ensure that the Light God King wouldn't discover his plan, Zhou Tian was willing to suffer a bit temporarily, as long as he could achieve his goal later.
Based on the situation at the time, even though Zhou Tian already possessed the ability to counterattack, he chose not to engage in combat with the Light God King. Instead, he continued to feign a limited level of strength, maintaining a look of 'struggling to endure' under the Light God King's attack.
It is believed that if there were no surprises, the Light God King would unlikely see through Zhou Tian's disguise for quite some time. With the Light God King's attention drawn away by Zhou Tian, the possibility of him discovering Zhou Tian's deployments was practically minimal.
