Zhou Tian was initially certain to fall into the hands of those Divine Realm forces, but now, due to the chaos caused by the Peng Branch, although it's a lot more dangerous. However, given the situation at the time, for those deities to send him back now became extremely difficult, if not impossible.
Thus, purely based on the situation at the time, the appearance of that Peng Branch surely helped Zhou Tian out of a tight spot.
Meanwhile, Zhou Tian also couldn't help but feel fortunate, thinking that it was a good thing that this group of deities were mapping the path. Had he not fallen into the hands of these deities, it's estimated that he might not be the one breaking through now. Whether it's Zhou Tian himself or a Divine Cliffs team not as powerful, encountering such an ambush while attempting a breakthrough, Zhou Tian really couldn't imagine the outcome if things developed that way.
