Chapter 224: You Have Suffered - 224
"In order to best promote peace on the final world, we will now decide what area will be claimed by both of your groups." Heaven said. "Each of you will pick 10% of the planet near your arrays and establish initial bases there. From that point, everything is in your hands and I will not interfere."
After listening to his words, both Tian Ren and Bi Chong nodded. Neither of them could find a reason as to why peace wasn't an option. Although they fought, they didn't exactly have an irreconcilable grudge with each other.
At least for now, under the suggestion of Heaven, both people decided that a temporary peace treaty was the best possibility. That way, they would be able to at least live on the final world without worrying about battles for now.
The arrays on the planet were on opposite sides, so the picking of an area didn't cause any sort of strife whatsoever.
Tian Ren settled on a mountain range with normal but big mountains, while Bi Chong settled on a huge valley area. The area contained ravines and other subterranean things.
Next, a peace treaty was drafted. The process ended up taking multiple days, but an agreeable peace treaty was written and signed under the watch of heaven.
There were many small bits, but the main idea was that the heavenborns, as well as Tian Ren, would not fight, battle, or harm any member of the beast race and other races of the beast world unless first provoked.
The same went for the beast world.
The treaty, while not omnipotent, ensured that no large-scale organized battles would happen between the two groups.
There were always rule breakers that may attack heavenborns or beasts without being provoked, which was the reason the first part of the treaty was added, but they would be hunted down by both residents of the heaven world and residents of the beast world.
The rest of the treaty made sure there were no loopholes or forgotten additions to the treaty.
In the end Tian Ren and Bi Chong shook hands before walking out of the room with heaven and the two people they had picked to come with them.
As they entered the room with the round table, they were confused to see the seats empty.
"Where did they go?" Tian Ren asked.
He wasn't worried since he was sure that heaven wouldn't harm the people of the heaven world, but he was confused.
"Oh yes. I forgot to mention that my father has been giving them pointers. You all should probably join in." Heaven said as he walked around the table and led the group to the entrance of the training room.
As they got closer, Tian Ren heard the sound of fighting and felt even more confused.
As they entered, they were astounded to see everyone they had brought with them was laying on the ground from exhaustion and slight pain.
"All right. Five minute break. Next time, you get six more people. No, make it seven." Zhou Fan said as he looked at heaven.
Heaven, who had been initially calm and collected, even arrogant and aloof, suddenly felt fear envelop him.
"Are... Are you sure? I'm pretty busy." Heaven stammered out as he backed away slowly.
"Don't make me chase you. Get in and face fate." Zhou Fan said with a kind smile on his face before he sat down and began to meditate.
"Well. It's over." Heaven said dejectedly as he started stretching.
Despite his words, he was actually quite excited to fight Zhou Fan. Although losing was the only possibility, it would undoubtedly be an interesting experience.
During the next five minutes, heaven gathered all of the participants of the battle and planned a strategy with him.
Eventually, Zhou Fan hopped up and created a barrier around the walls so that they weren't destroyed in the upcoming battle.
"Whenever you're ready." He said as he looked at the group in front of him.
Heaven stepped forward and moved his Qi. Everyone in the group suddenly felt their power increase by at least 3 times.
Luckily, they were informed of it before and weren't too surprised.
Next, Tian Ren led the people from the heaven world and circled around to the other side of Zhou Fan, while Bi Chong did the same on another side.
Then, the battle began.
Heaven fully displayed his power at the 1st level of the inner world realm. Lightning Qi, Life Qi, and Death Qi covered his entire body as he quickly powered up.
As soon as he was ready, he moved towards Zhou Fan in an instant. He arrived, fist pulled back and ready to punch, in front of Zhou Fan before anyone could even react.
Suddenly, Zhou Fan ducked and the swung fist missed him. He was moving so fast that heavens body couldn't react as a finger touched his forehead and he went flying backwards into Zhou Fans barrier.
Although still stunned, the two groups moved in as soon as they saw heaven move. They used varying Qi's to attack Zhou Fan, and they made sure to not hold back a bit.
Chuckling a little, Zhou Fan decided to have some fun.
Tian Ren's fist was the first to reach him, with Bi Chongs not far behind.
Zhou Fan grabbed Tian Ren's elbow and swung him around like a weapon and hit him against Bi Chong, sending them both flying.
After those two were dealt with, a beast that used demonic Qi was about to claw him, Zhou Fan covered his hand with Buddhist Qi and hit the beast in the chest, sending him flying.
The same process repeated itself many times as Zhou Fan used opposing Qi against others. After 10 seconds, everybody was out of commission.
"Five minutes." Zhou Fan said before he once again meditated.
"This is nonsense." Tian Ren said as he flipped himself over.
"How do you think we feel? We've been doing this for 5 hours straight." One of the people that had followed Zhou Fan into the room retorted.
"Apologies. You have suffered."
Chapter 225: Fiendcelestials - 225
For the next week, Zhou Fan beat up the group of people invited to the galactic assembly, as well as heaven himself.
Once a day for an hour, he would also help them cultivate better.
On the 7th and last day, everyone was gathered around Zhou Fan once again. Nobody had managed to survive a single move or land a single hit on Zhou Fan the entire time, but they all felt their battle prowess constantly rising.
They held no hope of hitting Zhou Fan even now, but they would continue to try with all of their efforts.
"Start."
At Zhou Fan's words, Heaven shot out towards him and covered his fist with life Qi, lightning Qi, and death Qi. He punched out with all of his strength at Zhou Fan's stomach.
Zhou Fan twisted the space around heaven's fist and made it hit the barrier, before he kicked heaven in the chest and sent him flying backwards.
He had yet to go easy on anyone besides holding back his strength and had no plans to do so.
As Tian Ren and Bi Chong closed in together, now showing off more teamwork than before, Zhou Fan grabbed their faces and threw them into the barrier.
For the rest of the people, Zhou Fan created spikes out of earth Qi that stopped every single one from moving unless they wanted to be pierced.
"Good job. I can see that every single one of you has improved greatly in the last week. I feel that this is more than enough training. See you at the next galactic assembly." Zhou Fan said as he walked out of the room.
Phew.
A collective sigh was let out by every single person in the room, including heaven. The torture was over.
Although they were complimented at the end, they somewhat felt that the words were mocking.
"Well. You heard him. Time to leave." Heaven said as he patted off his clothes and tidied his appearance.
"Be in the throne room in five minutes or you'll be left here to die alone."
Within a minute, everybody was in the throne room and ready to leave.
"It was nice seeing you again Tian Ren." Heaven said as he waved his hand a teleportation array activated.
Before Tian Ren could respond, he reappeared back on the heaven world.
In the throne room, heaven turned around and saw Zhou Fan drinking tea.
"Is what you said true? Are you going to come to every galactic assembly?' Heaven asked.
He found it hard to believe that Zhou Fan of all people would get involved.
"It allows me to put some of my studying to good use. Plus, I haven't been doing anything important recently. This can be considered a short break every now and then." Zhou Fan responded.
Although the galactic assembly would be a rare occurrence, he would be free for the foreseeable future.
"I should be getting back now. See you later." Zhou Fan said as he disappeared from the hall, leaving heaven alone to think.
In the following years, Tian Ren and Bi Chong colonized their areas on the final world. It didn't take very long as they didn't have to worry about surprise attacks, but it wouldn't be a short process due to how much bigger the final world was compared to the other planets. At the very least, there was a thousand times difference in size.
While Tian Ren and Bi Chong were getting busy, Heaven was not idle.
'As far as I'm concerned, the heavenborn race is fully developed. As for the beast race, it is good on its own. The question is, what should I do now?' Heaven thought to himself.
it didn't take him long to come up with an answer. The goal was never to have the heavenborn or the beast race dominate the galaxy. It was to make the galaxy prosperous and filled with life.
More importantly, it was to test Zhou Fan's ideas for the universal consciousness, although heaven was mostly in the dark about that.
Heavens decided that the next thing he would do is create more races. They wouldn't have to be carefully crafted like the heavenborns, but they would need to at least be functional.
Heaven quickly got to work.
In just 10,000 years, he had managed to create 5 new races and thirty new planets. The planets would be used to introduce the new races to the final world.
As he had conferred with Zhou Fan on some of the ideas for the races, he had created 3 races already existing in the universe but slightly different.
First were the demons. Second were the elves. Third were the barbarians. As for the other two, Zhou Fan had taken a special interest in them and helped heaven create them in earnest.
The 4th race was called the spirit race. They did not have physical bodies or brains, but existed only in soul form.
Completely physical attacks had no effect on them, but any sort of Qi use did. They also had a natural weakness similar to the demon race. That was buddhist Qi, Light Qi, lightning Qi, and any other Qi that shared similar properties.
The spirit race did not need to eat food to survive, and instead were born at the Qi gathering realm in order to survive off of Qi.
The fifth and final race was also special. Zhou Fan had specially named the race the fiend celestials. They were somewhat similar to celestials and heavenborns in terms of talent, even somewhat surpassing them, but it was extremely hard for them to reproduce.
A thousand attempts may still result in failure.
There was also another special thing about them. Due to their high talent and potential, Zhou Fan had specially requested that only 3000 of them are allowed to be alive at once.
They looked somewhat humanoid, but their skin was gray and they were abnormally tall from birth. As a mortal adult, they would reach 15 feet in height. As they grew stronger, their heights would increase greatly.
Luckily, they would be able to control their height once they reached the void traversing realm.
Finally, they were born with an abnormal affinity to fiend Qi.
