Back then, for those Divine Kings, the reason why the Space God King did what he did wasn't important. Regardless, Zhou Tian was destined to be killed. Besides wanting the divine emperor treasure in Zhou Tian's hand, there was also the fear that if Zhou Tian became the Time God King, he might seek revenge against them.
Thus, despite their displeasure with the Space God King's actions at that time, for those Divine Kings, the most important matter was still how to kill Zhou Tian.
It's just...
Though the thoughts of those Divine Kings back then were not at fault, and from all perspectives, their decision to promptly kill Zhou Tian was correct, still, when those Divine Kings prepared to kill Zhou Tian, the resistance they encountered at that moment was unexpectedly tremendous.
Since there was that prior behavior, the Space God King's decision to protect Zhou Tian at the time wasn't easily shaken.
