Indeed, with the guidance of that Deity, breaking the rules of this Jungle would indeed be quite easy. But if, at that time, the Deity had other plans and directly used Zhou Tian as a sacrificial lamb, then while the Deity might indeed succeed in escaping, Zhou Tian himself would likely face a tragic end.
Clearly, as long as there was even the slightest chance of such a scenario happening, Zhou Tian would never let it occur. After all, Zhou Tian's original intent was merely self-preservation; if he sacrificed himself to rescue the Deity or destroy the Jungle, wouldn't that be turning his priorities upside-down?
Therefore, given the circumstances at the time, although Zhou Tian had once considered the idea of releasing the Deity, he had never intended to directly interact with it.
