However, although at the time those Divine Kings believed Zhou Tian could not achieve a breakthrough, that was merely their own opinion. Whether Zhou Tian could actually breakthrough was fundamentally not something they could decide.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Zhou Tian indeed had virtually no chance of a breakthrough. After all, what Zhou Tian was cultivating was the Time Rule, and the difficulty of breaking through this rule was known. Other True Gods couldn't achieve it, so Zhou Tian couldn't confidently say he could achieve it either.
Even with the help of the treasure from the Divine Emperor, Zhou Tian always felt uncertain about how long he had to wait for his breakthrough period. Maybe accumulating over time would indeed lead to a breakthrough, but to reach that effect, Zhou Tian knew it wasn't something that could be achieved immediately.
