Despite seeing many different races throughout their entire lives, the spider race was by far one of the few stuck in the beasts memory.
They were known for their cruel and downright disgusting methods. Examples were using corpses as incubation grounds, eating their own children, and generally depriving any area they were in of any sort of clean feeling.
A thousand years ago, the spider race was jointly exiled from the main area of any part of the beast world and pushed to a dangerous and desolate area by a combined army of many races.
That was how much the spider race was hated.
However, despite everything, the mysterious man called members of the spider race children.
While they knew that there was a 0% chance he was a member of the spider race as the spider race gave off an instinctively disgusting feeling, they still felt less reverence for the mysterious man after seeing him so affectionate with spiders.
As the beasts watched in silence, the mysterious man put his hand on the wall behind him and the wall, as well as the balcony, disappeared.
The mysterious man remained floating in the air before slowly lowering himself down. He then proceeded to walk forward.
In front of him were ten blue colored arrays with so many intricacies that it gave most of the beasts a slight headache.
Without words being shared, the ten spiders walked onto different arrays and stood still in the center.
"This will be the first demonstration of the teleportation arrays." He said as he sent a bit of Qi into the arrays.
They shone a space-like blue and the spiders disappeared in an instant. Turning back around, the mysterious man continued to speak.
"When they come back, they will inform us of what is on the other side. That way, the risk will be minimized."
Although the arrays couldn't be built by anybody, they could be activated by anyone above the nascent soul realm with permission of the owner. They could also simply overpower the owners Qi in the array, but in this instance it was naturally impossible.
After a minute passed, the arrays once again shone. The spiders once again appeared.
They didn't speak, but they seemed to have the ability to telepathically communicate with the mysterious man.
"Alright then, you ten are free to go." He said as he turned around once more, facing the beasts.
"As expected, an entirely new world, or should I say worlds, are on the other side." He stated.
For the first time since the spiders walked in, the beasts reacted. They remained silent, but the interest on their faces was obvious.
"Only the ten strongest will come with me into the first array. I will build nine arrays there and we will come back afterwards. As for the rest of you, enjoy the rooms in the building. I expect you all to stay here until business is finished." He said.
Soon, the ten strongest people were picked out. Each of them were in the void traversing realm.
A lion, a tiger, a bear, a shark, a whale, a dolphin, and four large birds of different colors. The weakest was in the 5th level of the void traversing realm, while the strongest were at the 9th level.
They entered the array and disappeared with a glow. As they were gone, the remaining people awkwardly stood around.
-----------------------------------------------------
In around 2 days, Tian Ren had finished setting up the nine arrays he needed to set up. Although all of them were nonfunctional as he had yet to build other arrays to connect them to, the first part was finished.
WIthout resting a moment, Tian Ren brought the heavenborns that had built a structure around the arrays while he was creating them and headed back to the heavenborn world.
On the other side of the galaxy, the beasts had just finished up the building around the arrays and the mysterious man had just finished up with the last array.
"You may be feeling some sort of fatigue, although I doubt it, but we must keep going until the starting process is done. I have an eerie feeling that we aren't the only ones exploring new worlds." The mysterious man said before he brought the beasts back through the teleportation array.
--------------------------------------------------
After 17 days, a day shorter than predicted due to the increased mastery of spatial arrays, both planets had finished putting arrays on the ten planets.
The next part was likely to be much more time consuming. They would have to spend a long time exploring the planet to continue forward.
The planet's sizes were no joke.
-------------------------------------------------
It took an entire three thousand years for the heavenborns to finish taking over the first ten planets. In that time much had changed, but the ambition to explore had never died down.
From the heaven world, more than the heavenborns began exploring and taking over land.
With a couple of treaties and agreements of peace, the beasts and supreme beasts of the heaven world had explored the worlds separately but on peaceful terms.
As for the beast world, similar changes had taken place. The supreme beasts that usually secluded themselves from the world as they belonged to no race had gotten wind of the other planets.
Despite having the title of supreme in front of their names, the supreme beasts could only be said to be inferior to the current beasts.
When their order of giving up the arrays didn't scare the beasts of the city away, they formed a very temporary alliance and charged in through the front gate.
They made it about a thousand feet into the city before an array activated and an unknown creature in black cloth appeared in the sky.
In an instant, a darkness seemed to envelop everything. A minute later, the darkness was removed, allowing anyone to see, and the supreme beasts had disappeared.
A couple years later, an alliance that seemed to be one member short and limping came back, negotiating a peace treaty in order to explore the new worlds.
Still wary of the feeling he had, the mysterious man agreed.
Within just days of each other, the beast world and the heavenborns began to explore the next set of ten worlds. Each force was now many times stronger than before.
Ignoring the amount of time spent on cultivation between Tian Ren and the mysterious man, just the number and strength of their subordinates had greatly increased.
If one ignored the mysterious man, the supreme beasts were much stronger than the beast race. Therefore, their addition was very much welcomed.
There were also supreme beasts on the heaven world, and they too had formed an alliance. Their alliances formation with Tian Ren had been a lot less violent than the formation of the beast worlds alliance, but that was mostly due to the fact that they already knew Tian Ren's status and power.
As the sole person who directly spoke to heaven, how could the supreme beasts dare to even attempt and fight him.
The exploration and setting up of arrays of the ten new worlds was much quicker for both sides.
Perhaps it was due to increased personal strength or manpower.
After another quick two thousand year time period, the next set of ten worlds was explored and teleportation arrays were added.
Instead of staying behind and consolidating their strength on the new planets, two beings decided to see just how far the worlds went and what was on the other ones.
After all, ignoring a few wild beasts with very little intelligence every now and then, there were very little new things on the planets they had teleported to.
There were no more living beings coming from other worlds, nor previously unknown materials.
As those two beings wandered around searching for more arrays, they also hoped to discover something new or at least interesting.
Within three days, the mysterious man found an array that led him to another world. He didn't go back and try to find the other teleportation arrays, but continued to explore the new and seemingly uninteresting world in search of more arrays.
Tian Ren too found another array just a day later.
While the two strongest beings on each of their planets neared each other, heaven was standing above the biggest world he had created. It was the planet that would be the final destination.
As he had never expected the exploration of new worlds to take so long, he found himself bored. Instead of just sitting there and rotting, he pondered some issues and changed some things about the later planets.
Now, there were only 99 planets. 40 of them had been colonized by the two worlds, and some of the others were currently being scrutinized by Tian Ren and the mysterious man in order to find more teleportation arrays.
As for why there were only 99 planets now, heaven had decided to move one far away and take the teleportation array off of it.
He had realized that with one hundred planets, one of the two sides would have an extra world before reaching the final planet. It wouldn't slow them down much, but in the event that they had a war, one side would have more resources than the other.
It would have had a minor effect, but it might have changed the scales of the battle unfairly.
Although there wasn't a one hundred percent chance of a battle happening, heaven had long been paying attention to the mysterious man. With his strength, finding out all of his information was easy as could be. Heaven had completely seen through him. He knew that the likelihood of a battle breaking out was at least 99%.
He watched solemnly as the two beings came closer to each other.
Much farther away, Zhou Fan had just finished up the round of studying. Now, his progress was noticeable. Still, he would need much more time and effort to achieve everything he wanted.
As he looked outside the shack and inside the galaxy, he noticed that Tian Ren and the mysterious man were nearing each other.
Like heaven, he had also started paying attention to the mysterious man a while ago. However, he noticed some things that heaven had not. It wasn't that heaven was too weak, but that he had not been given enough information.
Zhou Fan could see that the mysterious man had a divine physique. The discovery had thoroughly shocked him when he had first seen it. This was one of the first encounters he had made with a divine physique holder. They were simply far too rare.
If one knew what the mysterious man was and knew what a divine physique was, it wouldn't be too hard to put the pieces together even if they didn't have the ability to sense divine physiques.
Sadly, heaven was simply disadvantaged. Zhou Fan decided to temporarily leave the shack so that he could watch the upcoming battle. He too was confident that a fight would happen.
-----------------------------------------------
After a few more days, two people appeared on a humongus planet that's size was matched by no other within the galaxy.
The moment they entered it, they were shocked. Not only was Qi more dense on the planet, albeit just slightly, but with a single glance they could see many new plants and even some new ores.
The two people didn't teleport to the same area. There were two teleportation arrays on the planet, one on each side. As they had no clue about the other, they began to explore the planet.
After a while, they realized that the planet could only be described as a paradise. There were many beasts and even supreme beasts on it, but they were clearly just entering their initial stage of development.
The best thing about the planet was its nature. The planet seemed so green and natural that it instinctively made both the people who had reached the planet feel relaxed.
After a couple of days of enjoying the scenery, both people decided to find a good place to make a base. One was looking for a new area to place the heaven sect, while the other was looking for a new place to build a city.
Coincidentally, they both traveled towards each other around the equator of the planet. It took many years, but eventually, a giant mountain like no other came into view.
