From the very beginning, even the Divine Realm consciousness did not think it could easily conquer the Abyss World. Aside from recalling the losses it suffered previously in the Abyss World, it also acknowledged that the Abyss World's strength was formidable. It was not a target it could easily annex.
Thus, even if the Divine Realm consciousness lacked confidence in annexing the world from the start, given the Abyss World's strength, it theoretically should be capable of resisting the Divine Realm invasion. If Zhou Tian can integrate the power of the Abyss World, expelling those deities poses absolutely no problem.
In fact, when Zhou Tian recklessly drove those Divine Kings out of the Abyss World and subsequently integrated the power of the Abyss World with his abilities, he indeed easily reversed the situation in the confrontation with the Divine Realm, allowing the struggling Abyss World, under the invasion of the Divine Realm, to exhibit newfound performance.
