In fact, the intelligence on Zhou Tian was still secretly monitored by that Divine King.
Externally, the reason that Divine King targeted Zhou Tian was simply because Zhou Tian and his old rival were in the same camp, but in reality, both Zhou Tian and that Divine King knew clearly what was truly happening.
The main reason that Divine King dared not reveal the matter was mainly because those issues were not suitable to be disclosed to the outside world. After all, he couldn't openly admit that he, a dignified Space God King, had suffered a setback at the hands of a True God of Time!
Thus, for the sake of morale and reputation, that Divine King did not inform the outside world about his dealings with Zhou Tian. Even though he deliberately suppressed Zhou Tian for a time, considering he was preparing for the next battle, he simply laid out a strategy when faced with an opponent's interception and did not use any other tactics against Zhou Tian.
