Chapter 261: Secret Facility - 261
As Lernean, the nine headed hydra, looked at Chin Hong, Chin Hong continued to speak.
"The initial tests are finished. We would like you to come back to the main beast world and enter the secret training facility. There, you will become truly strong. Although cultivation has become different, it is not impossible for you to become the strongest under heaven." Chin Hong said.
He did his best to convince Lernean that what he said was the best course of action.
Since cultivation had changed and become more difficult, along with other changes, the cultivation of most of the strongest people in the worlds had stagnated.
Both Tian Ren and Bi Chong had remained at the tenth level of the space shattering realm since the cultivation change.
Even with immortal king 10 meridians, breaking into the lesser dao creation realm was not easy. In fact, it was still insanely difficult.
For both Bi Chong and Tian Ren, it would probably take around a million years, if not more.
Most of the people in the Zhou galaxy that had broken through had at least immortal king meridians, along with millions of years of unprogressed cultivation.
Tens of thousands of space shattering cultivators at the 10th level had risen and fallen, with only a few remaining alive for more than 50 million years.
Just in Zhou Fan's last cultivation session, 250 million years passed. It was an incomprehensible amount of time. Even for space shattering cultivators.
Of course, someone with immortal king meridians without providence being born was something incalculably rare.
If a person of the elf race, for example, was to be alive with the elf race's providence since Zhou Fan left, the odds of another person with immortal king rank meridians being born was 1 in 100.
Perhaps 1 in 10 if the elf race reproduced as fast as they could. That's how rare immortal king meridians are.
In the Zhou galaxy, 99% of space shattering level 10 cultivators had providence.
Having immortal rank meridians was already 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000, or one in a quadrillion. In less talented races that reproduced faster, it would be closer to one in a hundred quadrillion.
Although more than a hundred trillion beings could be born in a galaxy in one year, many of them would die. Even with immortal king rank meridians, reaching the pinnacle of the galaxy would prove extremely difficult without a sufficient background.
How many of the 100 trillion beings had a significant background? Probably less than ten thousand of them.
All in all, if ten 10th level space shattering cultivators reached that level in a million years, it was an extremely good million years.
Unfortunately, that would be on the scale of an entire galaxy. In the Zhou Galaxy, most of all life was living in the Zhou solar system. Although some planets had been colonized, they were few in number since the planets outside the Zhou solar system and the earth solar system were much worse in quality.
Therefore, it would be lucky if a trillion beings were born in one year in the Zhou galaxy.
Bi Chong and Tian Ren, along with Heaven himself, had no idea just how big and wide the universe actually is.
After being in thought for a moment, Lernean nodded his heads. He had accepted Chin Hong's advice.
"Thank you, young master. Please follow me into the teleportation formation." Chin Hong said as he walked outside of the room.
Lernean followed and they soon came to an array. It was a teleportation array. The only space shattering supreme beast had built it specially for the young hydra.
Chin Hong stepped onto it, followed by the young hydra. With the infusion of some Qi, the array activated and they disappeared.
In an instant, they appeared deep underground in another base. This base was on the beast world. It was much deeper and more hidden than the last base.
Right now, they were in an enclosed room. Chin Hong and the young hydra exited the room, greeted by a long, furnished, carpeted hallway.
It was as if they had entered a luxury hotel.
Lernean, who was only three years old and had only known the other base, looked around in wonder.
Each of his heads paid attention to different things. After five minutes of walking, Lernean and Chin Hong entered a wide open space. There, a group of young beasts stood. In front of them was a man whose aura did not lose out to Ching Hong.
The different young supreme beasts watched the beast in humanoid form as he read them a story.
Chin Hong whispered to the young Hydra.
"Sit down and listen to the story. It is based on a true event."
The hydra nodded and silently joined the group. Another stare fell on him, but the young hydra did not notice it.
"Tian Ren, the first Heavenborn, raised his lightning sword to the sky and swung down upon Bi Chong. Numerous lightning strikes followed the attack. Still, Bi Chong did not lose out. His attack collided with Tian Ren's… In the end, the battle's result could be called a tie." The man said as he finished the book and closed it.
Although the young Hydra had only arrived for the last bit of the story, he had been entranced, and all nine of his heads stayed still.
The other young beasts around him did not seem to be any less entranced than the young hydra as the story finished.
"Now, you all go train. There is a new member here." The man spoke as he looked at the young hydra.
The young beast's gazes followed as they weirdly looked at his nine heads.
"Now!" Yelled the man, getting the young beasts to scramble to the other side of the large, open room.
As the man reached Lernean, his demeanor changed greatly.
"Hello young master. I have heard much about you. Please, follow me as I tell you about this place." He said with a smile on his face.
It was as if he was talking to his boss's child.
Chapter 262: Growing Seeds - 262
The young hydra curiously looked around as the supreme beast led him around the room. Behind them both, Chin Hong followed silently.
While Chin Hong was the 5th strongest supreme beast, the man leading the young hydra was the 3rd strongest.
Although they were both at the 10th level of the void traversing realm, Chin Hong had absolutely zero confidence in killing the supreme beast war general himself, Hei Nan.
Besides the supreme beast king himself, Hei Nan was the oldest supreme beast alive. He had led so many wars that the number could not be counted on the hands of a hundred octopuses.
Within the large open room, there were 5 sections. The one they were just in was the instruction area. That was where all knowledge and theoretical things were taught.
Besides that, there was the sleeping section, the training section, with lots of room and heavy things all around, the battle section, where all spars were fought, and the martial art section, where martial arts and such things were taught.
The hydra asked about the rooms and the hallway before the room, and Hei Nan said that they were rooms that led to teleportation arrays, as well as some storage.
The tour did not take long at all, and Hei Nan led the young hydra to the sleeping section once he was finished with the tour.
"The young master has traveled all the way here, as well as used a teleportation array. You must be tired. Please, take a rest and we will start tomorrow." Hei Nan said.
The young hydra nodded as he fell asleep on one of the carpeted sections of the room.
As he fell asleep, Hei Nan and Chin Hong walked around the facility. They spoke about various matters for a couple of hours before stopping in front of the training area.
They both watched as the young supreme beasts trained. Although they all showed great talent, there were three that stood out.
One was a young lion with an icy blue body that seemed to give off coldness.
Another was a blue pig that gave off a feeling of lightning.
The last was a large bat that seemed to have a darkness affinity.
This facility was specially made for the young hydra, but it was also used to train the young hydra's future comrades.
Each one of them was extremely talented and guaranteed to reach the soul formation realm if no lethal accidents happened.
Chin Hong nodded as he spoke. "It is time for me to leave. Remember, the hydra will be the savior of our supreme beast race. If need be, sacrifice all of these supreme beasts' lives, as well as your own before letting him get scratched."
Without a second passing, Hei Nan responded. "Naturally. I know his worth just as much, if not more than you."
"I'm just making sure." Chin Hong chuckled as he walked away. He then entered the hallway and left through a different teleportation array than before.
Hei Nan looked at one of the walls solemnly. There were many things that Chin Hong was unaware of. But nothing was left out of Hei Nan's information.
As Hei Nan turned his gaze to the sleeping young hydra, his look of solemness became even deeper.
—-----------------------------
In a red galaxy, in the Zhou galaxy cluster, on a planet near the edge of the galaxy, a world with plants and trees silently existed.
Many millions of years ago, plants, trees, and rivers were born on it. However, no true life had been born.
This planet was the first one that Zhou Fan had ever touched with his mortal dao outside of the Zhou Galaxy.
On this planet, a leaf fell from a tree, slowly descending to the ground. In a few seconds, it reached the ground and stayed there.
Suddenly, the leaf moved a bit. Yet, there was no wind anywhere near the leaf.
After a moment, the leaf slightly moved again. Then, a moving thing moved from under the leaf.
It was an ant. To be more specific, an ant queen. A living, breathing, eating thing.
It moved around the ground, living.
Not too long later, on another planet, this one filled with sand as if it was an endless desert, a bit of sand fell and formed a hole. From within that hole came an insect with three pairs of wings and a thin body.
It was some sort of dragonfly.
On another planet, this one made up of an endless ocean, a tiny plankton moved around the bottom of the ocean.
These three planets, all within a somewhat small time frame, gained their first life.
After millions and millions of years, Zhou Fan's seeds of life had begun to germinate.
Meanwhile, on one of the few planets outside of the Zhou solar system that had a name, two people were playing chess.
They were the only living beings on this planet. Out of all the beings in the Zhou galaxy, both of them were in the top ten.
Both of them had reached the lesser dao creation realm long ago.
As they played their game of chess, they spoke.
"I heard the human race gave birth to an incredible talent." One of them said. By her looks, it was clear that she was a celestial.
"I heard something about that as well." The man across from her said. He too was a celestial.
"I was thinking. Should we intervene at all?" The celestial woman asked. She was conflicted.
"You know that our relationship with the human race is good. We naturally shouldn't hurt the kid." The man said. "Regardless, we have all the time in the world. Even if he reaches the 10th level of the space shattering realm, it doesn't matter. Everyone below the lesser dao creation realm is an ant."
The woman nodded in agreement.
"At the very least, we can observe his personality and protect him from other lesser dao creation realm cultivators. If he proves to be unlikeable, we can simply stop guarding him. The others won't be able to stop themselves from killing him at that point." The woman added.
