As per Zhou Tian's original plan, at this moment having Zhou Tian face the Light God King, he indeed thought it would be difficult to gain any advantage at that time. However, Zhou Tian does not actually need any advantage now; as long as everything progresses according to his plan, once Zhou Tian can exhibit his normal strength, the Light God King won't be able to stop Zhou Tian's actions of annexing Paradise World.
The result followed the situation at that time. After Zhou Tian received news of the Light God King returning to Paradise World, he immediately issued the order for his angels to retreat at the first moment.
There's no need for his angels to retreat temporarily for a while, until they entangle the Light God King. Only then do they need to continue the plan they've set in place. Before Zhou Tian diverted the Light God King, he indeed dared not let his angels appear before the Light God King.
