Guang Fu moved forward and arrived at a teleportation array. The planet was so big that traveling it as a nascent soul realm cultivator was nearly impossible. Luckily, Tian Ren and Bi Chong had set up teleportation arrays every few thousands of miles for easier travel.
While the squares on the map were huge, the actual place where combat took place was less than a thousandth of the squares size.
Guang Fu went through one teleportation array, arriving at the combat zone of one of the nearest squares. He ran through it, giving and receiving a wave from the defender, before reaching another teleportation array.
He ran through yet another square, greeting another defender, before reaching another teleportation array.
After repeating the process 2 more times, he arrived at an enemy square. Guang Fu stopped running along the side of the combat zone and ran towards the middle.
There, he saw a beast laying on the ground. When Guang Fu entered its vision, the beast stood up.
It was a large lion with traces of dirt and some slight brown on its body. It was at the 6th level of the nascent soul realm.
Zones were not only divided by realm, but there were also three sublevels.
The first was from the 1st level to the 3rd level. The second was from the 4th level to the 6th level. The last was from the 7th level to the 10th level.
This was to add more fairness to the war and was agreed upon by both sides.
The lion beast looked at Guang Fu with pride, and when it saw his cultivation level, arrogance.
Once the moving Guang Fu reached the point ten thousand feet away from the lion, a circular dome barrier appeared and covered the surroundings.
Guang Fu did not stop moving and soon, the lion began to move as well.
Very quickly they were within a hundred feet of each other.
ROAR!
Seeing Guang Fu get closer, the lion roared out loud as earth spikes pierced the ground and moved towards Guang Fu.
Guang Fu did not stop moving as a sphere of water appeared around him. When the earth spikes hit the water sphere, they immediately turned to mud and crumbled.
The lion jumped back in surprise and formed a wall of earth Qi in front of him. Guang Fu did not stop moving as a light spear appeared in his hand.
HUAHH!
He stopped moving and used the momentum to throw the light spear with all of his might, letting out a small grunt of effort.
The light spear moved extremely fast and pierced the earth wall. Without stopping, it continued forward and pierced the unexpecting lion.
The lion was hit in its side and was moved back, only stopping when it hit a large wall of rock.
The lion shortly hung there from the light spear until the light spear dissipated and the lion fell to the ground. Guang Fu did not stop or hesitate as an earth spike came out of the ground and pierced the lion's head.
Soon after the lion died, the barrier disappeared and Guang Fu sat in the middle of the combat zone awaiting orders.
'Just as expected.' He said to himself.
As someone able to participate in the youth galactic assembly, he was naturally much more powerful than any youth of his level.
It would take a talented person at the tenth level of the nascent soul realm to defeat him.
As Guang Fu waited for orders, he cultivated. Unlike Zhou Fan, even a day of cultivation had some use. It would only take him 20 years to breakthrough, ignoring his previous accumulation.
A day after he started cultivating, he felt the talisman in his pocket move and took it out.
"Guang Fu. I repeat. Guang Fu, are you there?" A mechanical voice asked.
"I am here." Guang Fu responded.
"You have been directed to defend the square you are in. I repeat. You have been directed to defend the square you are in. Do you copy?" The mechanical voice asked.
"Defend my square. Understood." Guang Fu said.
Hearing his words, the talisman shut off and Guang Fu put it back in his pocket.
He continued to cultivate as he waited for a challenger. This was a thousand year war, so it was expected to last a long time. It was possible that nobody would attack him for an entire year.
A week later, the barrier formed as a challenger stood across from Guang Fu.
This challegener was a lion with dirt on it, similar to the one before.
"Guang Fu! You have killed my little brother! Today, I shall avenge him!" The similar looking lion yelled.
Like the one before, he was at the 6th level of the nascent soul realm.
Roar!
The lion roared out as he ran, summoning earth Qi and water Qi. Then, a wave of mud formed as it rushed towards Guang Fu.
Guang Fu jumped in the air and went over the wave, but was greeted by multiple spears of water and earth Qi.
He formed a barrier of earth Qi around him that perfectly blocked the attacks. Although he was lower in level and was using a single element, his talent was much above the lions. He could put in half the effort and get double the effect.
When the water and earth Qi spears were blocked, the enraged lion seemed to understand why his brother had died. He nearly admitted defeat, which would have caused him to be allowed to leave the barrier and retreat, but his brother was killed by the man in front of him.
Roar!
He angrily roared once again as many more water Qi and earth Qi spears appeared, shooting at the approaching Guang Fu.
Sadly, the lion over estimated himself. Before he could react, a tiny dagger of light Qi pierced through his forehead, killing him instantly.
The attacks moving towards Guang Fu fell apart in mid air and he was met with a residual wind from their dissipated force.
Without much emotion, Guang Fu went back to the center of the battle zone and began cultivating.
As Zhou Fan's favorite proverb goes, defeat the son, comes the siblings, defeat the siblings, comes the parents, defeat the parents, comes the grandparents, defeat the grandparents, comes the ancestor, defeat the ancestor, comes a god.
Luckily for Guang Fu, this was a competition with strict rules. Although the elder of the lion race was furious, there was nothing he could do.
The two brothers from before were the only ones in the family that had a cultivation between nascent soul 4 and nascent soul 6.
The elder had thought about lowering their fathers cultivation realm, a very painful and statistically improbable procedure, but he soon gave it up.
As a wise old man, even enraged, he decided to cut his losses for now.
Back in the zone Guang Fu was in, a year passed. In that year, only a single opponent came for Guang Fu. It was some deer race member, but she fell quicker than the first two.
After three defeats, the beast race temporarily held off on Guang Fu's square. They had 999 more years to worry about it.
As the time came and exactly a year had passed from the time when Guang Fu first arrived, he felt his talisman shaking.
"Guang Fu. I repeat. Guang Fu, are you there?"
"Here." Guang Fu replied.
"A year has passed. I repeat. A year has passed. You will be relieved of your duty and get a month off of defending before coming back. Your replacement will arrive shortly. Take care." The mechanical voice spoke before shutting off.
Guang Fu put the talisman back as he waited with expectations. Naturally, nobody expected to fight in a war risking their lives for free. Every time you successfully attacked or defended a square, you would receive contribution points.
In the current stage of war, which was quite lax, one would be recalled once a year in order to use their contribution points or simply relax.
In order to make it more fair, the stronger you and your opponents were, the more contribution points gained for defeating them.
After waiting for three hours, Guang Fu saw a heavenborn coming from the distance. Guang Fu got up and rushed over to him.
After a brief and unimportant conversation, Guang Fu went to the teleportation array that his replacement came from and entered it. He traveled across many battle zones until he finally reached the Heaven world's base of operations.
As he entered, the place seemed much more desolate and happier than before. While there were fewer people, those that were at the base were mostly those like Guang Fu who had come back and were ready to spend their contribution points.
After walking around the gigantic base that could be called a city, Guang Fu found the city center. There were no benches or wildlife, just a tall white wall with many black words moving and changing.
At the top in a large font were the words, "Contribution Wall".
The first name, ranked number one, was Tian Ren's wife. She had only fought a single battle so far, but she managed to kill a 1st level space shattering realm cultivator.
She was in front by a large gap.
After some looking around, Guang Fu found his name at the 558th rank. He had 1,617 contribution points.
500 were from each of his enemies, while the other 117 were from staying stationed there. Enemies from the 4th level of the nascent soul realm to the 6th level were defined as Nascent soul tier 2 enemies. They gave 500 points each.
Guang Fu saw his points and nodded. Neither too much nor too little. It was a fair amount.
Guang Fu walked out of the city center and entered a long and wide street with hundreds of shops on each side. While the earlier area seemed empty and desolate, this place was so packed that everyone was nearly touching shoulders.
This was the exchange area for contribution points. It worked similar to a large market, but contribution points were the only currency accepted.
Just about everything could be traded here. From great tasting foods to good weapons. Spirit stones could also be exchanged for contribution points, but that was something only an idiot would do.
The things in the exchange area were much cheaper than normal considering the spirit stone exchange rate.
Guang Fu wandered around the exchange area, looking for things that caught his attention. He didn't have anything specific in mind.
He directly looked over brothels and other such immoral things.
After wandering for a while, he saw a narrow and dark alleyway. It was barely wide enough for two people to walk shoulder to shoulder in.
Guang Fu, being a curious person, entered the dark alley and walked into it.
After a while, he saw an old man sitting on a carpet at the end of the alley.
"Hello young man, would you like to buy any of my wares?" The old man asked with a smile. He had a few missing teeth.
Guang Fu looked at the carpet and saw nothing but mediocre and even rusty goods.
He wanted to turn around, but he felt pity for the old man. He did not know why, it was just his nature.
"Fine, give me that." Guang Fu said as he pointed at a random object without looking.
"That would be ten contribution points." The old man replied.
Guang Fu gritted his teeth, paid the man, took his item, and speed walked away as he mourned the waste of ten contribution points.
He put the item in his pocket without even glancing at it. He spent a few more hours walking around before buying a good spatial ring for a thousand contribution points. After buying a good meal for 10 contribution points, he slept at one of the free hotels.
After waking up, he finally took a look at the item he bought from the old man. It was a rusty old emblem in the shape of a small shield.
Guang Fu sighed and turned it around. There, he saw a metal point. Guang Fu figured it was meant to be put on a shirt, but he naturally didn't wear it.
Just as he was putting it away, he carelessly touched the point and it pierced his skin, drawing blood.
