As long as it's known that Zhou Tian possesses the God Emperor artifact, one can imagine how many deities would come to deal with him. And truly, at that time, if Zhou Tian doesn't have enough strength, it's likely that the God Emperor artifact would be taken away from him.
However, although using the treasure space to break through at that time indeed carried that kind of risk, given Zhou Tian's various performances at the time, such a risk was not necessarily going to happen.
Firstly, though Zhou Tian holding a God Emperor artifact now is akin to holding gold in a bustling city, if Zhou Tian becomes a Divine King by then, it's like a person holding gold is armed with a gun. Although the value of the God Emperor artifact could drive most of the divine realm's demigods mad, knowing that Zhou Tian who possesses it is a Divine King, even the average Divine King might not have the confidence to do anything against Zhou Tian.
