Chapter 214: Expansion Of The Worlds - 214
In order to study cultivation in peace, Zhou Fan decided to build a building outside of the galaxy. Although heaven would technically be able to reach him, heaven's eyes had been glued within the galaxy for so long that he barely even looked outside of it.
The building Zhou Fan was going to build was a simple and easy building. For him at least.
He brought out a bunch of materials before teleporting right outside of the galaxy. Just a few feet behind him was the orange glow of the mortal dao sphere covering the entire galaxy.
He moved a few miles forword before he manipulated the wood in his hands. The wood expanded and created a small, single room shack. The shack didn't look too shabby, but it also didn't look good at all.
Once the shack was built, Zhou Fan put a silencing array around it that would stop all sound not exceeding the god realm from entering the room.
It was easily turned on and off so he could always hear what was going on if he wanted or needed to.
That was everything that the shack needed, so Zhou Fan entered and closed the door before activating the array and beginning his studies.
While Zhou Fan studied and heaven watched over the heaven world, fifty thousand years passed.
Zhou Fan had made little to no progress in that time, but he felt he was about to go somewhere with his studies.
As for heaven, he had much more interesting developments on his side.
In the last fifty thousand years, the heaven world and its inhabitants had finally finished the initial stage of development. The heavenborn were even more in number and 99% of the entire planet had been populated.
The 1% was made up of areas too dangerous to inhabit.
Heaven was sitting with Tian Ren in his castle for the first time in 25,000 years talking about the future developments of the heaven world.
"Soon, I plan on giving the people on the heaven world access to other planets. I was able to increase the size of one hundred planets that will be occupied by the heavenborns and other races." Heaven said to Tian Ren.
After such a long period of time, Tian Ren was looking a lot more mature. He wasn't quite old, but he had the looks of a middle aged man with his beard.
He was nowhere near the middle of his lifespan with the lifespan of a space shattering cultivator, however.
"Since you are the only space shattering cultivator among the heavenborns with your space shattering level five cultivation, I expect you to lead the charge." Heaven said.
Heaven too was looking a little more mature, although very slightly. At some point, Zhou Fan had secretly increased his body's age to ten years old.
He was still a child, but he was taller and bigger.
"Of course I shall." Tian Ren responded. "How will we access these worlds?"
"Teleportation array. I will give you the instructions on how to set them up and I will do you a favor and set the array up on the other planets as well." Heaven responded.
He planned to not only set up arrays for the heavenborns on the other worlds, but he planned to get the members of the beast world to build some arrays that would connect to the other worlds as well. He, of course, would also build the arrays on the other worlds for them.
"As you will not be alone on the other worlds, I would recommend you set up a defense around the area you teleport to. The arrays on the other side will be indestructible by anyone weaker than me, but that does not mean they cannot make a trap around the array and kill anyone who enters." Heaven added.
"Yes heaven." Tian Ren answered.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I will be leaving for now. Here is a book containing the instructions on how to build a teleportation array. It also has the specific input that will allow you to connect to the arrays on the other worlds." Heaven said as he handed Tian Ren a book. "Since there will be a hundred other worlds and the heaven world will be connected to ten of them, you will need to build ten teleportation arrays. Good luck."
Heaven said before disappearing.
He had set up twenty planets with teleportation arrays leading to either the beast world or the heaven world. On each of those twenty planets, there were ten more arrays that led to ten other planets.
Those arrays were within small pagodas he had already built.
After many teleportations and arrays, each side would be led to a main planet. It was much bigger than the heaven world, the beast world, and the other 99 planets he had expanded. That would be the main world for the main races.
Naturally, more arrays could be set up on other planets later since they would have the method to make teleportation arrays.
Before any of that, heaven needed to give the beasts the technique to create teleportation arrays and the inputs to connect to the specific ones on the planets.
To do that, he simply planned to drop a stone stele from the sky that had all the instructions on it.
As he arrived above the beast world, he did just as he planned and dropped the stone stele on a random place on the planet without even looking.
---------------------------------------
In the center of the biggest city on the beast world, a meeting was happening between every single race.
Land beasts, air beasts, and sea beasts gathered in the middle of the biggest city where all violence was strictly prohibited.
As for how it was enforced, there was an extremely powerful beast of unknown origin and race that watched over the city. He was also the city's creator.
The antelope race once defied his will and went against him, only to be completely decimated to the last antelope.
From that point on, his prestige had spread throughout the entire planet and no one dared to offend him.
As every single race's leader was in the middle of their meeting, a stone stele suddenly fell from the sky and landed in the very center of the meeting area.
Chapter 215: Preparing The Arrays - 215
Before any of the beasts could react to the sudden appearance of the stone stele, a figure appeared in front of it as if he had teleported.
He seemed to have the figure of a human or a humanoid creature. However, his race was unable to be determined as he was covered in black cloth that did not expose a single inch of his skin.
The humanoid creature reached out what seemed to be a hand and rubbed the stele as he appeared to read the contents.
By now, the beasts in the room had all comprehended what had happened, but none had spoken or even moved.
Although he had never been seen before, his aura was undeniably there. The man in front of the stele was the mysterious being that created the city.
The entire room was so silent that a single breath would seem like a loud roar. Only the sound of the humanoid beings hand rubbing against the stone stele was heard.
"Yes. Yes I see. So that's what I was missing." The man said to himself.
He was speaking in the beast's universal language, or english, in a dry voice that gave off a sinister feeling.
He had been learning the art of arrays through personal testing and had worked on an array that could teleport through space. He was nearly finished with it, but he was missing a few more parts.
Unfortunately, he was struggling immensely to understand those remaining parts. While success was almost guaranteed, the time it had taken him was annoying him.
Luckily, the answer literally fell from the sky.
"It's slightly different from mine, and it probably works much better as well." The man continued. "And these must be coordinates. It appears we will be busy for the next few days." The man said. The last sentence was said with the intention of talking to the beasts within the room.
Only once he finished looking at the stone stele did he turn around and directly address the leaders of the beast races.
"I will not force you to collaborate with me as I am sure I can do anything myself, but if you are interested in the exploration of a new area, perhaps a new world, then you will meet me 50 miles west of here in two days." The man, or beast, said before disappearing into the shadows below him as if he was ink.
A minute after he left, the beasts let out a breath. They all needed to think seriously about the man's words. If what he said was true, then the beast world would undergo huge changes and those that didn't participate would be left in the dust.
------------------------------------------
Two days later, both Tian Ren and the mysterious man had finished setting up the arrays. Their speeds were eerily similar to each other.
As he had some insider information, Tian Ren brought a bunch of materials in order to build more teleportation arrays once they got to the worlds. Before exploring, their first goal would be to set up teleportation arrays linking every other one of the first ten planets together. They would continue to do so as they went to further planets.
Although it may be possible for a void traversing cultivator to set up a teleportation array, it would be very difficult and time consuming, and the finished product would be very inferior.
Therefore, Tian Ren, the sole space shattering cultivator of the heavenborns, needed to set up every single array. A simple calculation let him know that 99 arrays needed to be built before he was finished. 90 leading to other planets, and 9 leading back to the heaven world.
He simply sighed and teleported to the first world with a legion of soul formation heavenborns.
--------------------------------------------------
On the beast world, the mysterious man stood on top of a hill as he stared at the army of beasts in front of him.
As he had expected, each and every single race had sent at least a hundred beasts. The most powerful races had sent tens of thousands.
"While I must say I appreciate your enthusiasm, we do not have an infinite number of spatial stones." The man said.
His words were said lightly, but they reached the ears of every single person there.
"Until we find more space stone mines, we will need to limit the number of people using the teleportation arrays. The only people entering will be me and the beasts at the soul formation realm and above."
"Those of you that fit that description can come inside and have a talk with me." He said as he turned around and walked into a building he had built over the last two days.
It housed every single teleportation array he had created. The building was square as if it was a warehouse and two floors tall. The only material it was made out of was high grade iron.
As he finally entered, around a thousand people stepped out from the ranks of the beast armies. Although there were more soul formation and above beasts, some had to stay behind to defend their territories.
Luckily for their peace of mind, the leaders of each of the beast races had made a temporary agreement that would stop the leaders from attacking other races' bases.
The main way that was done was by sending the leader of each race with the mysterious man.
As the near thousand beasts walked through the doors, they were greeted by a large, empty, white room with only two doors and a platform halfway up the far wall.
On that platform stood the mysterious man.
"20 void traversing cultivators. Very good." He said as he took in their numbers.
"The first thing we will do is send in a test subject to see exactly what is on the other side of these teleportation arrays, although I do have a fairly good idea as to what that is." The man spoke.
The beasts tensed up, worrying that they would be chosen, but the man raised his hand and continued.
"I have already gathered my test subjects. Come out children." He said loudly.
From each of the two doors, five young beasts came in, totaling ten. Disgustingly enough, each of the children were spiders.
