Chapter 302: Return - 302
Three years later, a knock was heard on a wooden door. Standing outside of the shack, knocking on the door, was a silver haired woman.
Even after knocking for three minutes straight, she received no answer.
"I know you are in there. I can literally see through these walls." She said in an annoyed tone.
Still, there was no answer.
After another minute of knocking, she decided that was enough.
"Fine then." She said as she backed up two feet.
Then, she kicked down the door, turning it into dust. Inside, she saw a blond haired man with a tired face meditating.
"The sect master has demanded your arrival. Get up so that we can go." She said.
After a moment of silence, the man opened his eyes.
"There is no reason for me to go. There is nothing that I can do there." He said. "Tell your sect master that I kindly refused."
"As if that's an option. The fact that she hasn't sent someone to beat you up for your disobedience is a miracle in itself. Also, it's OUR sect master." She responded.
The man put his hand to his forehead as if he was exhausted from her presence.
"Can I at least hear why I must come back. I already described everything that happened that day."
"I don't know. She said it was beyond my information level." The woman honestly responded. "There's no need for you to stay here in solitude. Do you not want to repay Tian Ren's kindness and sacrifice?"
"Of course I do. But there is nothing to do until I am stronger. I find no point in bothering with the Heaven sect." Guang Fu responded.
The woman let out a heavy and annoyed sigh.
"From what it sounded like to me, they may even give you techniques that can increase your strength. Just get up and come back." The woman said.
"I could practice techniques later. What I need is cultivation." Guang Fu responded.
"We both know that it won't matter if you spend a few hours a day practicing techniques. You are being lazy. Stop feeling sorry for yourself." She said.
"Fine. Fine. You are right. I'm coming." Guang Fu relented.
'I guess I have been doing nothing but feeling sorry for myself and mourning. That needs to be over right now. No more slacking or lazing around in self pity.' Guang Fu thought to himself as he got up.
For the first time since he returned to the Heaven world, his eyes brightened again.
Three years had passed since Tian Ren's death. Just a month ago, the final Heavenborn entered the Heaven world. Now, there was not a single one elsewhere in the entire universe.
A week ago, the Heaven world declared their defeat. Now, the entire Final world was in the grasp of the beast world.
Tian Ren flew behind the woman as they sped to the Heaven sect. Since Tian Ren had died, his wife took up the position of sect master.
"Wait a minute." Guang Fu said. "How did you know that it wouldn't matter if I spent a few hours a day practicing techniques?"
It had been discovered by Guang Fu when he first started training with Tian Ren, but his cultivation speed was no faster when he cultivated 24 hours a day than when he cultivated 18 hours.
At the time, he and Tian Ren assumed that it was some form of compensation for cultivation speed being limited no matter the talent. Naturally, they were right.
"I'm a god rank talent. Back in the nascent soul realm, I experienced it myself." She answered.
"Makes sense." Guang Fu responded as they kept flying.
A while ago, Guang Fu's meridians stopped growing and halted at the immortal 3 rank. It was back when he and Tian Ren were training, but there was no obvious difference.
After a few days of flying, Guang Fu and the silver haired woman arrived at the Heaven sect.
As per usual, they stopped flying at the gate and began to walk. Nowadays, it was seen as disrespectful to Heaven to fly in the Heaven sect.
Despite the rule, it was rumored that Tian Ren was annoyed at his view being impeded and declared such.
Naturally, it had never been confirmed, but the rumor was as old as the rule.
'Not that it matters anymore.' Guang Fu thought.
As they reached the center of the city, Guang Fu was met with a surprise. Underneath the giant eye statue that represented Heaven, a new statue was built.
The statue was as old as the Heavenborn race itself, so it was surprising to see something change around it.
As Guang Fu got closer, he was able to make out its appearance. Below the giant eye, a man sitting on a throne raised his hand high and supported the giant eye, along with the three golden beams.
Naturally, that man was Tian Ren.
"It's fitting isn't it. As the greatest follower of Heaven, it's just right. The whole Heaven sect voted and the decision was unanimous." The woman said as she admired the statue.
"That is the man you are living up to. Good luck." She said with a chuckle.
Guang Fu could tell he was being mocked, but silently followed the woman as he observed the statue.
Behind the statue was the Heaven sect castle, where Tian Ren once lived. Guang Fu followed the woman into it and saw a woman standing near the throne while facing it. Although there was no dust on the throne, it was clear that it had not been sat on in a while.
"So you finally came. I don't know who you think you are, ignoring my talisman, but you are lucky I haven't beaten you up." She said with feigned anger.
"I apologize ma'am." Guang Fu responded.
The woman shook her head and waved her hand.
"Go now. Me and Guang Fu must talk alone." She said to the silver haired woman.
"Of course sect master." She said as she left the castle, closing the doors behind her.
Chapter 303: Deals - 303
"Do you have any idea why I've called you here?" Tian Ren's wife asked.
"No clue." Guang Fu responded.
"I expected. To make it short, we need you to succeed Tian Ren." She said.
Guang Fu didn't move for a while as he took in her words.
"Huh?" He asked.
"Pretty simple, there is no Heavenborn more talented than you besides Yao Mun." She explained. "Naturally, the death of a leader has never happened before, but we can assume what he would have wanted done in such a situation. According to his words, you are the ideal person."
"That makes sense, but what are the details?" Guang Fu asked.
"We decided to keep Tian Ren's legacy ongoing. I can explain more details later when we meet with the rest of the space shattering realm cultivators, but in a few months, we plan to declare you the young master of the Heaven sect. In other words, once you reach a high enough strength, you will become the sect master." Tian Ren's wife explained.
Guang Fu held his head as he felt a headache coming on.
"I don't think I can." He said. "There is something I need to do, and I may die doing it."
"We likely have the same idea. There is a requirement besides reaching the space shattering realm for you becoming the sect master." She added. "To become the sect master of the Heaven sect, you must kill Yao Mun. That should align with what you have in mind right?"
"Yes. Then I agree. However, I have a question." Guang Fu said. "Why don't you kill Yao Mun?"
"Because he would now be protected by space shattering realm cultivators. According to our very little intel, he has become the student of Bi Chong. They have the same goals, to crush the Heavenborns and, if ever possible, destroy Heaven." She explained.
"Then I suppose I have to kill Bi Chong as well." Guang Fu said with his eyes closed.
A faint strand of killing intent leaked out of him.
"That brings us to the second point of you coming here." Tian Ren's wife said as she clapped her hands. "It seems that you won't have to take care of Bi Chong. Not alone at least."
"What do you mean?" Guang Fu asked.
"Recently, a mysterious organization reached out to us. They said that we shared a common goal, and only together could we reach it. In order to even meet, we have to sign a contract of secrecy. You may have to sign it too. If it goes as planned, we will have a meeting in a month. We would like you to attend." She explained.
After a moment of thinking, Guang Fu nodded.
"Fine. Taking on Yao Mun and Bi Chong working together would be too much no matter how strong I get."
"I'm glad you think that way. Our discussion will continue on in a meeting room with the others. Just know that your training will be done by you alone unless you request otherwise. Complete access to all of the Heaven Sects techniques had been given to you." She said as she tossed over a metal token.
"That will be your entry and exit pass. Follow me." She said as she walked away.
Guang Fu followed.
—----------------------------------
A month later, Guang Fu sat in a room away from the Heaven sect and deep underground. He, Tian Ren's wife, and one other space shattering cultivator sat on one side of the table. The rest of the table was currently empty.
Guang Fu had signed a lengthy contract and took an oath, but it had no nonsensical clauses. It was meant to keep both sides quiet about everything that happens in the meeting room.
Guang Fu looked around the huge room as he waited. The ceilings were a thousand feet high and the walls were a thousand feet apart.
He guessed that it was meant for meetings between non-humanoid transformed beasts. After looking around for a few more minutes, a giant door on the opposite side of the room opened.
What walked through were two flying men and a large beast behind them.
"I apologize in advance for my friend here's size. He has yet to reach the soul formation realm." The man in front said.
"No worries. I've worked with plenty of supreme beasts and can understand your troubles." Tian Ren's wife said.
Guang Fu was enlightened.
'So they are supreme beasts. She likely just figured that out.' He thought to himself.
"Yes. Luckily, he is not one of the super gigantic kind." The powerful supreme beast laughed.
The supreme beast was at the space shattering realm, while the man behind was at the void traversing realm.
The lead man and the other man sat down while the beast stood behind them.
"Let's get down to business. Us beast world supreme beasts may be struggling to even survive and are countless times weaker than the beasts or the Heavenborns, but we have an incomparably valuable asset with us." The man explained.
"And what is that?" Tian Ren's wife asked.
"Talent. The beast behind me, Lernean, is a nine headed hydra. He has nine affinities and can be considered one of the most talented beings in the galaxy." He explained.
As time passed, many things were discussed between the two.
"We spent a lot of resources, time, and power building a teleportation array to this planet. Luckily, we had the help of you Heavenborns." The man said. "It was quite the job to build one big enough for lernean."
"Indeed it was. I hope it was worth it." Tian Ren's wife said.
Building a teleportation array usually required people on both ends.
"You will see." The man responded. "So, I would like to move our supreme beast race to the Heaven world. That way, we would be able to develop our strength. In the beast world, we are heavily suppressed. Growing is simply impossible."
"I can imagine so. Let's cut to the chase, I want your lernean to fight our Guang Fu. They are at the same cultivation level. Afterwards, the final call will be his." She said as she gestured to Guang Fu.
"That's fine with me. Lernean, don't kill him."
