For the next week, Zhou Fan beat up the group of people invited to the galactic assembly, as well as heaven himself.
Once a day for an hour, he would also help them cultivate better.
On the 7th and last day, everyone was gathered around Zhou Fan once again. Nobody had managed to survive a single move or land a single hit on Zhou Fan the entire time, but they all felt their battle prowess constantly rising.
They held no hope of hitting Zhou Fan even now, but they would continue to try with all of their efforts.
"Start."
At Zhou Fan's words, Heaven shot out towards him and covered his fist with life Qi, lightning Qi, and death Qi. He punched out with all of his strength at Zhou Fan's stomach.
Zhou Fan twisted the space around heaven's fist and made it hit the barrier, before he kicked heaven in the chest and sent him flying backwards.
He had yet to go easy on anyone besides holding back his strength and had no plans to do so.
As Tian Ren and Bi Chong closed in together, now showing off more teamwork than before, Zhou Fan grabbed their faces and threw them into the barrier.
For the rest of the people, Zhou Fan created spikes out of earth Qi that stopped every single one from moving unless they wanted to be pierced.
"Good job. I can see that every single one of you has improved greatly in the last week. I feel that this is more than enough training. See you at the next galactic assembly." Zhou Fan said as he walked out of the room.
Phew.
A collective sigh was let out by every single person in the room, including heaven. The torture was over.
Although they were complimented at the end, they somewhat felt that the words were mocking.
"Well. You heard him. Time to leave." Heaven said as he patted off his clothes and tidied his appearance.
"Be in the throne room in five minutes or you'll be left here to die alone."
Within a minute, everybody was in the throne room and ready to leave.
"It was nice seeing you again Tian Ren." Heaven said as he waved his hand a teleportation array activated.
Before Tian Ren could respond, he reappeared back on the heaven world.
In the throne room, heaven turned around and saw Zhou Fan drinking tea.
"Is what you said true? Are you going to come to every galactic assembly?' Heaven asked.
He found it hard to believe that Zhou Fan of all people would get involved.
"It allows me to put some of my studying to good use. Plus, I haven't been doing anything important recently. This can be considered a short break every now and then." Zhou Fan responded.
Although the galactic assembly would be a rare occurrence, he would be free for the foreseeable future.
"I should be getting back now. See you later." Zhou Fan said as he disappeared from the hall, leaving heaven alone to think.
In the following years, Tian Ren and Bi Chong colonized their areas on the final world. It didn't take very long as they didn't have to worry about surprise attacks, but it wouldn't be a short process due to how much bigger the final world was compared to the other planets. At the very least, there was a thousand times difference in size.
While Tian Ren and Bi Chong were getting busy, Heaven was not idle.
'As far as I'm concerned, the heavenborn race is fully developed. As for the beast race, it is good on its own. The question is, what should I do now?' Heaven thought to himself.
it didn't take him long to come up with an answer. The goal was never to have the heavenborn or the beast race dominate the galaxy. It was to make the galaxy prosperous and filled with life.
More importantly, it was to test Zhou Fan's ideas for the universal consciousness, although heaven was mostly in the dark about that.
Heavens decided that the next thing he would do is create more races. They wouldn't have to be carefully crafted like the heavenborns, but they would need to at least be functional.
Heaven quickly got to work.
In just 10,000 years, he had managed to create 5 new races and thirty new planets. The planets would be used to introduce the new races to the final world.
As he had conferred with Zhou Fan on some of the ideas for the races, he had created 3 races already existing in the universe but slightly different.
First were the demons. Second were the elves. Third were the barbarians. As for the other two, Zhou Fan had taken a special interest in them and helped heaven create them in earnest.
The 4th race was called the spirit race. They did not have physical bodies or brains, but existed only in soul form.
Completely physical attacks had no effect on them, but any sort of Qi use did. They also had a natural weakness similar to the demon race. That was buddhist Qi, Light Qi, lightning Qi, and any other Qi that shared similar properties.
The spirit race did not need to eat food to survive, and instead were born at the Qi gathering realm in order to survive off of Qi.
The fifth and final race was also special. Zhou Fan had specially named the race the fiend celestials. They were somewhat similar to celestials and heavenborns in terms of talent, even somewhat surpassing them, but it was extremely hard for them to reproduce.
A thousand attempts may still result in failure.
There was also another special thing about them. Due to their high talent and potential, Zhou Fan had specially requested that only 3000 of them are allowed to be alive at once.
They looked somewhat humanoid, but their skin was gray and they were abnormally tall from birth. As a mortal adult, they would reach 15 feet in height. As they grew stronger, their heights would increase greatly.
Luckily, they would be able to control their height once they reached the void traversing realm.
Finally, they were born with an abnormal affinity to fiend Qi.
