If it weren't for Zhou Tian appearing to seize Paradise, and Paradise being extremely important to the Light God King, then once Zhou Tian displayed his strength, it would have been unlikely for them to have erupted into conflict at that time.
Thus, under circumstances where the Light God King didn't want to fight Zhou Tian, if Zhou Tian wanted to retreat and the conflict over the benefit of Paradise no longer existed, the Light God King actively creating conditions for Zhou Tian's departure would not have been too surprising.
Of course, at present, it's because Zhou Tian demonstrated formidable strength and, due to lack of preparation, injured the Light God King. In such a situation, the Light God King, cautious of further conflict with Zhou Tian, would indeed take the initiative to send Zhou Tian away. But after he recovers, even if Zhou Tian appeared stronger, the Light God King likely wouldn't let things rest.
