Since the beasts were unable to actually affect the material that Zhou Fan brought from the center of the earth, Zhou Fan had to personally build the structures.
Besides that, however, the beasts did everything else. They planned out the entire city, from its walls to its walkways and buildings.
Half the city would be a residential area, while the other would be the academy buildings, along with shops and restaurants.
Of course, many things from the original Huang Long Academy were used as reference.
Once they had finished planning, Zhou Fan used the materials to build the city. Despite the variation of colors in the materials, Zhou Fan changed them to fit the city.
Therefore, the walking paths were still gray and most of the buildings were gray, black, white, or something similar.
The entire process only took a single day, and most of it was spent on the planning. Afterwards, the Huang Long City was finally built.
Soon after, the members of the academy were brought from the yellow dragon building to the city.
Once everyone was settled in, Zhou Fan was ready to leave. After some hugs and some goodbyes, Zhou Fan teleported back to his pagoda.
Although there was no rush, Zhou Fan felt that the grim reaper should make an appearance. Therefore, he sent him down and for the first time, let him do his own thing.
Although he could hardly be considered sentient, he had directives that would make sure nothing bad happened. His strength was at the 4th level of space shattering, so there would be no problem with both Jack and Anna there.
After making sure that the grim reaper could escape once defeated, Zhou Fan stopped paying attention.
Next, Zhou Fan decided to focus on comprehending the cosmic dao. Since he had broken through, he was able to start comprehending it again.
Although he had no clue how long it would take, Zhou Fan sat down and started comprehending.
------------------
10,000 years later, Zhou Fan had only comprehended another 5%. As he moved forward, the cosmic dao seemed harder and harder to understand.
He didn't know how long it would take to reach his limit, but he kept going on anyway.
---------------------
20,000 years later, Zhou Fan comprehended another 5%. He still wasn't at his limit, so he continued.
-----------------------------
30,000 years later, Zhou Fan finally stopped. He had comprehended another 5%, but he hadn't reached his limit.
He simply felt that he was spending too much time in seclusion. After all, he still had to worry about the Zhou Solar System and the Earth solar system.
In total, he had comprehended 20% of the cosmic dao. It was a rough guess, but Zhou Fan felt that the remaining 80% would be thousands of times harder than the first 20%.
Still, the benefits of his comprehension were huge. Not only had he felt new ways to use his power, he felt his overall strength increase by a lot.
Zhou Fan felt that many impossible things would become possible once he reached 100% comprehension of the cosmic dao.
Since 60,000 years had passed, Zhou Fan looked at the strengths of everyone.
Jack had reached the 3rd level of space shattering, while Anna had reached the fourth.
The dragon king's son had reached the 10th level of void traversing after so much time had passed.
His speed was both due to his talent and the increasing Qi in the air. After Zhou Fan had broken through to the 1st level of the inner world realm, the Qi his mortal dao produced had increased by two times.
That was also the reason Jack and Anna had reached so high so quickly. Jack was very close to reaching the 4th level of space shattering, while anna was almost close enough to be considered close to breaking through to the 5th level of space shattering.
The dragon king had rarely been cultivating, while the titanosaur and the monkey king just weren't that talented, causing them all to stay at the same level.
As for the beasts, they had broken through to the 2nd level of space shattering. They hadn't spent a single moment out of seclusion since Zhou Fan saw them, besides the occasional appearances to ensure the academy they were alive.
After sending the grim reaper out to the Zhou Solar system, now at the 5th level of space shattering, Zhou Fan made his way to Huang Long academy.
In the last battle with the grim reaper, Jack had actually made an appearance. After all, Anna was basically alone when it came to defending against him now.
As Anna was being pushed back, Jack appeared behind the grim reaper and stabbed him through with his trident.
Since he had been so unprepared, the grim reaper was instantly injured, and then beaten up by both Jack and Anna before escaping with his soul.
Zhou Fan had to repair his body before sending him back out.
Although Anna had tried to use the soul trapping technique, the grim reaper exploded his body, causing the barrier to be broken, allowing him to escape.
After that battle, Jack had been forced into the spotlight, increasing both his and his race's prestige.
When the meetings occurred at the grand hall, he now stood next to anna.
Soon, Zhou Fan reached the Huang Long academy. As soon as he did, the beasts came out to greet him.
Once they did, Zhou Fan and the beasts went inside and drank some tea. They also talked a bit, but neither the beasts nor Zhou Fan had any new stories to tell, besides the grim reaper battle.
After hearing the tale, the beasts were interested. Even though they had broken through to the space shattering realm, they had never visited the Zhou solar system or heard about the people's strength there.
"If you all are interested, you're free to go whenever. I believe the grand hall meetings have even spoken of you, although they haven't decided to come to the earth solar system yet." Zhou Fan said.
"I think we should go." Zhuque said. "It's not like they can harm us even if we go. Plus, it would be good to establish a relationship with them."
The other beasts nodded in agreement at her words.
Since they wanted to go to the Zhou solar system, Zhou Fan brought them back with him.
"I'll be going back into seclusion now. Goodbye." Zhou Fan said before leaving them on a mountain in the Zhou world.
The beasts were surprised that he was leaving so soon, but they only said goodbye and watched him leave.
Soon, Zhou Fan reached the pagoda. Although he enjoyed spending time with the beasts, he felt an urge to enter seclusion every second he was gone.
He wasn't sure if he had an addiction to cultivation or a dedication. Regardless, he went back into seclusion in order to comprehend the cosmic dao.
--------------------------
90,000 years later, Zhou Fan's comprehension of the cosmic dao had reached around 30%.
He planned on continuing, but sent down the grim reaper beforehand. Once he got another chance, he would take a look at how the battle took place.
---------------------
60,000 years passed, and Zhou Fan's comprehension had reached around 35%.
Since he had a break, Zhou Fan used his divine sense to gather information of how the battle happened.
The grim reaper had appeared at the 5th level of space shattering, but was quickly ganged up on and defeated by the combined efforts of the beasts, Jack, and anna.
After seeing how everything had progressed so smoothly without his assistance, Zhou Fan used his divine sense to send a message to the beasts.
"I will be entering seclusion for an extremely long time. Until then, stay safe."
After sending the message, Zhou Fan quickly entered seclusion. He was feeling that he could pay attention and interfere less and less as time moved on.
--------------------------
240,000 years passed by.
Even Zhou Fan could feel the effects of such a long seclusion.
Now, he had reached 50% comprehension of the cosmic dao. Also, he was unable to move forward in it.
He had once again reached a bottleneck in his cosmic dao comprehension.
Ever since he had parted with the beasts, nearly 400,000 years had passed in total.
By now, he assumed that everyone he had known would have reached almost their peak strength.
As per usual, Zhou Fan used his divine sense to cover both the earth solar system and the Zhou solar system.
Unsurprisingly, everyone's increase in strength was obvious.
Anna had reached the 7th level of space shattering. She was one of the most powerful beings in the solar system by far.
Now, however, Jack was stronger. He had reached the 8th level of space shattering. He had taken over one of the water worlds within the Zhou solar system and made it the home of the mermaids.
Among the other rulers, the dragon king had given up his title to his son. He was now simply Ao Ling.
His son, Ao Tu, was now the dragon king and had reached the 5th level of space shattering.
Most of everyone's improvement was thanks to the increase in Qi, but their talent was equally important.
The titanosaur and the monkey king had finally reached the 1st level of space shattering.
Now, they had retired and given up their thrones to their own sons.
As for the beasts, they had reached the 9th level of space shattering. Although it would be nearly impossible for them to reach the lesser dao creation realm with the current state of Qi and the limit of their own talent, they would undoubtedly live as some of the strongest.
What surprised Zhou Fan the most was that the beasts had started creating legacies of their own.
Each and every one of them had given birth to at least one child. Although he figured they would eventually, and actually gave them the ability to, he didn't expect them to do it so soon.
After they started having children, they split up the earth into four sections. Each section would be ruled by one of the beasts races, while the huang long academy was in the middle of them.
After seeing the changes, Zhou Fan was ready to come out and see the beasts. Although there were a few rising stars that had talent that surpassed the titanosaur and the old monkey king, Zhou Fan wasn't too interested.
As he arrived at the Huang Long Academy, Zhou Fan sat in the main room and sent a voice message to the beasts. Despite the earth's size, the beasts arrived less than a second after getting the message.
After they exchanged greetings and talked for a while, Zhou Fan demanded that they bring their children to meet him. Since he was basically their father, he felt he should see his grandchildren.
The beasts laughed before they disappeared and reappeared with their children in hand.
So far, Xiaolong had only one. He was his successor and was named after him. His full name was Xiaolong Fan. Of course, he was named after Zhou Fan. He was a yellow dragon that looked similar to Xiaolong.
Zhuque had 5 children, and four of them were girls. They each had fire colored feathers and looked similar to her.
Bainu had 3 children. 2 boys and a girl. They were also the spitting image of their father.
Finally, Xuanwu had 5 children. There were 2 boys and three girls. In their tortoise form, they were a combination of black and white.
Although they didn't have a divine physique like their father, they seemed to have some effects from it.
Overall, each of the beast's descendants looked similar to them and had good talent. At the very least, the most untalented of them would reach the void traversing realm.
After playing with them for a while, the children fell asleep. At that time, Zhou Fan stood up and looked at the beasts seriously.
After a moment of silence, he spoke.
"It is about time I leave the galaxy."
