When Zhou Tian made such a decision, he was thinking of utilizing his actions at the time to gain massive benefits. By then, not only could he break through to become a True God, but if luck was on his side, he might even directly get other benefits at that time.
But in reality, Zhou Tian's previous experiences, such as gaining the friendship of the blood monkey and the Divine King, can only be attributed to his good luck. In fact, though the dangerous situations in the Divine Realm are plentiful, most of those domains don't offer much benefit. They are either special environments naturally formed or special areas formed by battles from ancient times. Although for some lower-rank deities, even picking up 'scraps' in those places could bring them benefits as long as they return alive. But for Zhou Tian at the time, he didn't obtain anything that he could appreciate while in those dangerous situations.
