"I think we should go." Zhuque said. "It's not like they can harm us even if we go. Plus, it would be good to establish a relationship with them."
The other beasts nodded in agreement at her words.
Since they wanted to go to the Zhou solar system, Zhou Fan brought them back with him.
"I'll be going back into seclusion now. Goodbye." Zhou Fan said before leaving them on a mountain in the Zhou world.
The beasts were surprised that he was leaving so soon, but they only said goodbye and watched him leave.
Soon, Zhou Fan reached the pagoda. Although he enjoyed spending time with the beasts, he felt an urge to enter seclusion every second he was gone.
He wasn't sure if he had an addiction to cultivation or a dedication. Regardless, he went back into seclusion in order to comprehend the cosmic dao.
--------------------------
90,000 years later, Zhou Fan's comprehension of the cosmic dao had reached around 30%.
He planned on continuing, but sent down the grim reaper beforehand. Once he got another chance, he would take a look at how the battle took place.
---------------------
60,000 years passed, and Zhou Fan's comprehension had reached around 35%.
Since he had a break, Zhou Fan used his divine sense to gather information of how the battle happened.
The grim reaper had appeared at the 5th level of space shattering, but was quickly ganged up on and defeated by the combined efforts of the beasts, Jack, and anna.
After seeing how everything had progressed so smoothly without his assistance, Zhou Fan used his divine sense to send a message to the beasts.
"I will be entering seclusion for an extremely long time. Until then, stay safe."
After sending the message, Zhou Fan quickly entered seclusion. He was feeling that he could pay attention and interfere less and less as time moved on.
--------------------------
240,000 years passed by.
Even Zhou Fan could feel the effects of such a long seclusion.
Now, he had reached 50% comprehension of the cosmic dao. Also, he was unable to move forward in it.
He had once again reached a bottleneck in his cosmic dao comprehension.
Ever since he had parted with the beasts, nearly 400,000 years had passed in total.
By now, he assumed that everyone he had known would have reached almost their peak strength.
As per usual, Zhou Fan used his divine sense to cover both the earth solar system and the Zhou solar system.
Unsurprisingly, everyone's increase in strength was obvious.
Anna had reached the 7th level of space shattering. She was one of the most powerful beings in the solar system by far.
Now, however, Jack was stronger. He had reached the 8th level of space shattering. He had taken over one of the water worlds within the Zhou solar system and made it the home of the mermaids.
Among the other rulers, the dragon king had given up his title to his son. He was now simply Ao Ling.
His son, Ao Tu, was now the dragon king and had reached the 5th level of space shattering.
Most of everyone's improvement was thanks to the increase in Qi, but their talent was equally important.
The titanosaur and the monkey king had finally reached the 1st level of space shattering.
Now, they had retired and given up their thrones to their own sons.
As for the beasts, they had reached the 9th level of space shattering. Although it would be nearly impossible for them to reach the lesser dao creation realm with the current state of Qi and the limit of their own talent, they would undoubtedly live as some of the strongest.
What surprised Zhou Fan the most was that the beasts had started creating legacies of their own.
Each and every one of them had given birth to at least one child. Although he figured they would eventually, and actually gave them the ability to, he didn't expect them to do it so soon.
After they started having children, they split up the earth into four sections. Each section would be ruled by one of the beasts races, while the huang long academy was in the middle of them.
After seeing the changes, Zhou Fan was ready to come out and see the beasts. Although there were a few rising stars that had talent that surpassed the titanosaur and the old monkey king, Zhou Fan wasn't too interested.
As he arrived at the Huang Long Academy, Zhou Fan sat in the main room and sent a voice message to the beasts. Despite the earth's size, the beasts arrived less than a second after getting the message.
After they exchanged greetings and talked for a while, Zhou Fan demanded that they bring their children to meet him. Since he was basically their father, he felt he should see his grandchildren.
The beasts laughed before they disappeared and reappeared with their children in hand.
So far, Xiaolong had only one. He was his successor and was named after him. His full name was Xiaolong Fan. Of course, he was named after Zhou Fan. He was a yellow dragon that looked similar to Xiaolong.
Zhuque had 5 children, and four of them were girls. They each had fire colored feathers and looked similar to her.
Bainu had 3 children. 2 boys and a girl. They were also the spitting image of their father.
Finally, Xuanwu had 5 children. There were 2 boys and three girls. In their tortoise form, they were a combination of black and white.
Although they didn't have a divine physique like their father, they seemed to have some effects from it.
Overall, each of the beast's descendants looked similar to them and had good talent. At the very least, the most untalented of them would reach the void traversing realm.
After playing with them for a while, the children fell asleep. At that time, Zhou Fan stood up and looked at the beasts seriously.
After a moment of silence, he spoke.
"It is about time I leave the galaxy."
