Because of the concerns of the top forces, Zhou Tian did not cause them trouble at the time, and even when they approached him, Zhou Tian mostly sought to avoid conflict with them. Although this cost Zhou Tian some benefits, his actions at that time led those top forces to fail to recognize his true strength until now. They regarded Zhou Tian's supported strong individuals as potential allies.
Thus, in that situation, since the top forces only valued Zhou Tian but failed to understand his real intentions, they wouldn't disturb the Gods who ruled them over such a trivial matter. Without the Gods' intervention, even when it seemed Zhou Tian suffered losses at their hands, could they really succeed against Zhou Tian with their strength? Not likely.
