There is no doubt that since that battle initially brought Zhou Tian massive spoils of war, Zhou Tian even hoped to directly break through to become a Divine King by utilizing those gains. Now, having acquired those gains, Zhou Tian was naturally eager to fully digest them immediately.
Even if the gains from that battle were enormous, before completely digesting those gains, Zhou Tian would inevitably feel somewhat uneasy. Only after directly digesting those gains would Zhou Tian feel at ease.
Moreover, Zhou Tian had worked hard for so long, and his true objective was indeed to break through and become a Divine King. So, if his current gains could possibly make him a Divine King once digested, then under the allowable conditions, Zhou Tian would indeed place his hopes for a breakthrough on those 'spoils of war'.
As a result, based on the situation at the time, once that thought emerged in Zhou Tian's mind, he naturally made a decision at that moment.
