"There is no need for me to hide anything from you. I am at the god realm. Above the lesser dao creation realm is the inner world realm, and above the inner world realm is the god realm." Zhou Fan answered.
Everyone had suspicions about Zhou Fan's strength, but hearing him actually say it, they couldn't help but be stunned.
He was two entire realms above them! It was something they could not even comprehend.
"Once you reach the inner world realm, you can travel to any place within the three galaxy clusters, which I named the Zhou supercluster. At the god realm, traveling becomes much faster and easier. Of course, this is using me as an example. I'm not sure how much weaker you all would be compared to me back then." Zhou Fan added.
The others nodded at his words. As someone so powerful, it would be weird if he was the same as them.
"So how long did it take you to become so strong?" Another person asked.
"I lost track of time long ago. My breakthrough from the 4th level of the god realm to the 5th level took 250 million years. I assume that I've been alive for more than 600 million years, but who knows." Zhou Fan answered with a shrug.
A few more questions were asked, but none were as interesting as the others.
"Who were your parents?" Fairy Hong Yun asked after a while.
This question caused Zhou Fan to think. No matter how hard he thought, only two silhouettes popped up. Their faces were unclear and unimportant.
"Back when all life was mortal, I was born. My parents died when I was young. Even before everything began, I had gotten over their deaths. Now, I cannot remember them at all. Nor do I want to or need to." Zhou Fan said.
Others may care about their parents' lives, but Zhou Fan's parents had never really influenced him at all. Even when he was young, they mainly fed him and clothed him. At every other time, he was free to do whatever.
It was not an unusual situation then, and it isn't one now. Many people in the group agreed, especially those from the demonic faction.
As far as the demonic faction was concerned, only oneself mattered. In that aspect, Zhou Fan agreed.
"If you are so powerful, how come you can't remember them?" One of the people asked.
"Although my memory is powerful, I tend to eventually forget things deemed completely unimportant. Ever since I started cultivating, the number of times I thought of my parents could be counted on one hand. You all are powerful as well. Do you remember every single speck of dust you see?" Zhou Fan countered.
With his explanation, everyone understood.
"It's about time for the actual youth galactic assembly to begin. One more question and we will start." Zhou Fan said.
"Have you ever had a wife or lover? If so, what happened?" One person asked.
"No I have not. Let's go." Zhou Fan said before standing up.
Everyone looked in anger at the man who wasted the question.
Instead of asking about the secrets of the universe, he actually dared to ask such a stupid question. Without a doubt, he would be beaten up later.
As Zhou Fan got back on top of the stage, Heaven appeared next to him and everyone got quiet.
"Next, the real youth galactic assembly will begin. In the same place you entered from, another door will appear. It will take you to a colosseum. Please enter the white door now." Zhou Fan said as he waved his hand, causing a white door that looked exactly like the last one to appear.
Without wasting time, everyone entered the white door. As they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a colosseum stand.
All of the seats were white marble and there were two sections, a top and bottom row.
Without having to converse, the ten 10th level space shattering cultivators from the Zhou Galaxy, and most of the people from the Heaven galaxy went to the lower level. It still gave a perfect view.
Among those who came, only the 14 lesser dao creation realm cultivators from the Zhou galaxy, Tian Ren, and Bi Chong sat on the top row.
Although the row was big, there were only a hundred seats in equal distance from each other circling around the colosseum.
Tian Ren and Bi Ching sat next to each other, although they were a distance away, and the 14 lesser dao creation realm cultivators did the same.
The colosseum was completely enclosed, and all of the walls were perfectly designed. The walls themselves were jade green, with multiple pillars reaching the jade ceiling.
At some places, there were also gold ornaments. The stage was a perfect square with a clear, but seeable barrier around it.
In between the stage and the seats was a lower section made with stone. It would be where those that were in the competition but were not currently fighting would stand and watch.
On one end of the oval shaped colosseum, a large platform stood. It was not where people would fight, but where people would enter the colosseum. It was hugging one of the colosseum walls.
After a moment of quiet, a white door similar to the one they entered through appeared. Out of it walked two people.
Fairy Hong Yun, and another woman in red, much younger in age.
Seeing Fairy Hong Yun appear, everyone looked over to where she had sat down. The once filled seat was now empty.
Even Fairy Hong Yun was confused for a moment, but she regained her wits and walked the person beside her out.
"The first contestant, the child of Fairy Hong Yun, Hong Yen!" A voice said from the sky.
It didn't seem to come from anyone's voice, and was somewhat robotic.
The requirements for being a youth in the competition was simple. Have great talent, and be under 1,000 years of age.
Hong Yen was 950 years old, but she was still considered young in the Zhou galaxy. She barely made it into the competition.
After walking out of the white door, Fairy Hong Yun and her daughter, Hong Yen, walked across the entrance stage and down a flight of stairs to the area in between the battle arena and the stands.
"Next, from the dragon race, Ao wen, and his escort, Ao ling! The first dragon king!" The voice exclaimed as two people walked out of the white door.
Coming out of the door was a familiar face and an unfamiliar one. Ao Ling, the first dragon king, and the person second only to Anna at one point, was quite familiar to Zhou Fan.
The youth, Ao wen, was naturally of Ao lings bloodline. Zhou Fan remembered giving Ao Ling the ability to reproduce long ago.
It had been so long that, except for him, there was likely no one else from the supreme beast race that remembered a time when having descendents was impossible.
The first dragon king and his son looked around the stadium. When the first dragon king, who was only at the tenth level of the space shattering realm, saw the lesser dao creation realm cultivators, he bowed his head and walked down the stage.
Zhou Fan and Heaven were nowhere to be found.
"Next, the nine colored divine phoenix king, as well as his child, Bai Hun!" The announcer said.
Exiting from the white door was a middle aged man, whose hair was many different shades. Along with him was a child who looked like a similar version of him.
Zhou Fan did not recognize these people. With a glance, he could tell that they were unrelated to Zhuque.
It was similar to how Xiaolong had nothing to do with Ao Ling.
The nine colored divine phoenix king and his son walked down the stage. As the nine colored divine phoenix king and Ao Ling's gazes met, there was a hint of some battle intent.
Luckily, it was very small. Ao Ling had long been retired when the nine colored divine phoenix king was born.
From the white door, more people came out. Not a single one compared to the first three, but they were all people with very high talents.
It was worth noting that, while not every youth had reached the soul formation realm, everyone had a humanoid form. This was due to a formation Zhou Fan put on the letter he sent.
It was all explained to the contestants within.
Five more people came out from the Zhou Galaxy, before someone Zhou Fan was interested in came out.
"Next, from the original planet, earth, representing the human race, Ying Xiong, and his mother, Ying Tui!" The voice announced.
All heads turned at Ying Xiongs arrival. Every single person had heard of the commotion when Ying Xiong was born, but this was the first time a lot of people were seeing him.
Ying Xiong and his mother looked around curiously. Everything around them was extremely elegant. They were unused to it.
Suddenly, another figure appeared next to them.
"Hello, allow me." Zhou Fan said as he grabbed Ying Xiongs hand and led him down the stairs.
Ying Xiong and his mother were surprised by Zhou Fan's sudden appearance, but Ying Xiong listened and grabbed Zhou Fan's hand.
Not only was he young, still at the age of 13, but he felt a sense of kindness and familiarity radiating off of Zhou Fan.
As Zhou Fan held his hand and walked him down the stairs, he inwardly decided to repay the human race for their suffering in his absence.
He wasn't usually sentimental, but he figured that he might as well be.
Zhou Fan allowed some of his Qi in Ying Xiongs body, intending to upgrade his talent, but what he saw shocked him so much he could only smile.
'Nevermind.' He thought to himself.
He would limit his repaying to accompanying Ying Xiong during the tournament.
As they walked down the stairs, Zhou Fan thought about what he had seen.
'He should be the first throughout the entire universe right?' Zhou Fan asked himself.
'I suppose I should name them immortal god rank meridians.' He decided.
Ying Xiongs talent was something never seen before. Zhou Fan hadn't even decided a name for the rank. Above immortal rank meridians were immortal king meridians. Above immortal king meridians were immortal emperor meridians. Now, above immortal emperor meridians are immortal god meridians.
Ying Xiongs talent was immortal god 3. That alone was crazy. Yet, his divine physique was just as amazing.
Zhou Fan looked forward to seeing what it was capable of in the tournament.
As Zhou Fan, Ying Xiong, and his mother reached the ground, another name was called out.
This one was the first outside of the Zhou Galaxy. It was someone with talent comparable to the unnamed ones to before, but everyone who had already exited the door was shocked.
Although not a single person would claim to know every powerful being in the Zhou Galaxy, they could already tell that this person was from somewhere else.
That also confirmed why they saw so many powerful yet unfamiliar faces in the crowd.
After 3 people came out, someone interesting exited the white door.
"Next, the nine headed hydra, Lernean! Along with his escort, one of the strongest supreme beasts in the Heaven Galaxy, Hei Nan!" The voice exclaimed.
Lernean's appearance drew everyone's attention. Especially the enemies of the supreme beasts in the Heaven galaxy. Naturally, Zhou Fan was going to deal with that later.
Lernean in humanoid form was a young man wearing nine different colors on his robe. In a way, he seemed similar to the nine colored divine phoenix.
The next person was also someone Zhou Fan found interesting.
"Next, from the Heaven world, Tian Ren, the first Heavenborn! Along with him, Guang Fu!" The voice exclaimed.
The name of Tian Ren, the first Heavenborn, gained attention from everyone. Being the first of a race was always something great. Guang Fu also received some looks.
The next person that came out was another person who, while quite talented, wasn't a star of this show.
The final person from the Heaven Galaxy soon exited the white door.
"Finally, concluding the attendees of this competition, Yao Mun, the first Heaven defying cultivator!" The voice announced.
Yao Mun received a lot of looks. He was walking out alone, covered by an aura of hatred and evil. The smell of blood was clear.
He was the first and only youth from the Demonic faction at the youth galactic assembly.
