"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."
