Both the heavenborns and the other races on the heaven world were thrilled that Tian Ren finally woke up. Now, the exploration of the other worlds could continue.
While everyone else was excited about Tian Ren's awakening, Tian Ren himself was feeling worried. He wasn't sure what had happened after the final clash or how he appeared back on the heaven world.
He assumed that heaven was the reason he was in the heaven world, but he was more worried about the outcome of the final clash.
If both him and Bi Chong were incapacitated, then it could be considered a draw, but if only he had passed out and heaven had saved him, he would feel too much shame.
Meanwhile, above the beast world, Zhou Fan appeared holding Bi Chong by the back of the cloth covering him. He had finished his experiments with Bi Chong and Bi Chong had survived them without issue.
In order to properly experiment on him, Zhou Fan had to heal him, so Bi Chong was currently in a perfectly healthy state and would wake up from his passed out state as soon as Zhou Fan willed it.
As a bit of compensation for the experimentation on the passed out Bi Chong, Zhou Fan had also rebuilt the cloth that had covered him.
After considering the best approach to dropping Bi Chong off, Zhou Fan decided to simply place him in his house.
Although tensions had been rising ever since he disappeared, no one had gained the courage to enter Bi Chong's house without permission. Thanks to that, Zhou Fan was able to quietly return him without a single soul noticing.
With Bi Chongs matter finished, Zhou Fan went back to the shack, preparing to continue his studies. The studying of Bi Chongs divine physique had given him some insights that could be used to help him in his study of cultivation.
After a while, Bi Chong woke up and made his presence known. He too was unaware of what had happened after the final clash. What confused him the most was how he ended up in his house.
After racking his brain for a long time, he eventually gave up and prepared to continue the exploration of the worlds. Once he had discovered all of the planets before the final world, he would once again return, hopefully with more strength than before.
50,000 years passed very quickly.
Both Tian Ren and Bi Chong had colonized every single world before the final world, but they had yet to take another step into the final array.
Every now and then, they would stand in front of the array and stare at it for a while. Still, they had yet to step in again.
They both wanted to reach a much higher level of strength before going back in.
At the very least, they wanted to reach the tenth level of the space shattering realm. Such a step seemed to be close by as they were at the 9th level, but in reality, it would take an extremely long time for them to take that step.
Both men continued to increase the power of their organizations, until one day.
Both had been cultivating in seclusion, but something suddenly teleported on top of their laps, making them jump in fright for a moment.
The objects that fell into their laps were the same. Both men got letters.
The letters read "Dear Tian Ren / Bi Chong, you have been invited to join the first meeting of the galactical assembly. As the strongest member of your race, your presence has been formally requested."
Below the words were coordinates that led to places on their original worlds and a time a year from now.
It didn't take much thinking for them to agree. Not only were they curious, but they were also worried that whoever sent the letter would be offended if they didn't join. By their logic, someone able to teleport a letter into their room without being noticed whatsoever would be immensely powerful.
The letters were also confusing as they had never heard about anyone in the galaxy but themselves, but they decided to assume that they were ignorant. Tian Ren had already felt that his people and Bi Chongs people were not the only ones in the universe from Heaven's words.
Preemptively, both Tian Ren and Bi Chong made their way to the coordinates on the paper. As they had to pass through multiple arrays, it took a good amount of time to reach the location, but they made it in time.
Surprisingly, they weren't the only ones at the location. Bi Chong saw the patriarchs of the ten strongest races in the beast world, as well as the strongest supreme beast, while Tian Ren saw a couple patriarchs of some races and the strongest supreme beast.
After some conversation, everyone got along and waited until the time on the letter came.
At the exact moment of time on the letter, both groups on both worlds saw a blue light all around them. Without any of their knowledge, a teleportation array had formed!
Soon, both groups disappeared.
-------------------------------------------------
As Tian Ren opened his eyes, he was shocked by what he saw. Around him were giant pillars and clear walls that allowed him to see that they were on a building floating in space.
Next, he turned his gaze to the left and was surprised to see Bi Chong appearing, along with many other beasts.
Bi Chong also noticed him, but they did not speak or even fight. They simply nodded their heads at each other, coming to a temporary agreement.
As they looked away from each other, they both looked forward.
Far in front of them was a set of stairs with red carpet that led to two men sitting on thrones.
Tian Ren clearly recognized the first one. It was a child dressed in a black and white robe.
However, the person next to Heaven was completely unknown to either Tian Ren or Bi Chong.
It was a man dressed in a gray robe with gray hair and gray eyes. Despite knowing that Heaven was almighty, Tian Ren still had a feeling that the man next to him was much more important.
