Zhou Tian had understood this principle long ago: one should not wait until there is no way out to fight desperately. If one finds oneself in a predicament, one must carve a path forward even if it means taking risks; otherwise, if one's strength is gradually whittled away by an opponent, there will be no opportunity to even consider perishing together with the opponent when one is incapable of counterattacking.
In Zhou Tian's view, although he was not at a juncture of life and death, if he did not find a way to break the situation, he would eventually let those players annex all of his territory. Therefore, if he did not want to ultimately be defeated by those players, he must not stop his actions to resist the players, and at the same time, Zhou Tian also needed to find his own way out.
