Zhou Tian did not intend to use his natural abilities, after all, Zhou Tian's nature law cultivation was far stronger than those nearby deities. If he used his natural law abilities now, those deities would probably be wiped out in minutes. Based on the situation then, Zhou Tian certainly did not wish for things to unfold in that manner.
In order to keep those deities around as his practice targets, Zhou Tian was not prepared to let them lose hope. Thus unless the opponent showed an ability that Zhou Tian couldn't resist, he would refrain from using his natural abilities as long as he could still resist.
However, even though Zhou Tian did not prepare to use his natural abilities, it didn't mean he couldn't handle those deities. After all, Zhou Tian was a true god, and although he wasn't planning to use his true god-level rule abilities, his advantages over ordinary deities weren't limited to just rule abilities.
