216 Exploration of the New Worlds - 216
Despite seeing many different races throughout their entire lives, the spider race was by far one of the few stuck in the beasts memory.
They were known for their cruel and downright disgusting methods. Examples were using corpses as incubation grounds, eating their own children, and generally depriving any area they were in of any sort of clean feeling.
A thousand years ago, the spider race was jointly exiled from the main area of any part of the beast world and pushed to a dangerous and desolate area by a combined army of many races.
That was how much the spider race was hated.
However, despite everything, the mysterious man called members of the spider race children.
While they knew that there was a 0% chance he was a member of the spider race as the spider race gave off an instinctively disgusting feeling, they still felt less reverence for the mysterious man after seeing him so affectionate with spiders.
As the beasts watched in silence, the mysterious man put his hand on the wall behind him and the wall, as well as the balcony, disappeared.
The mysterious man remained floating in the air before slowly lowering himself down. He then proceeded to walk forward.
In front of him were ten blue colored arrays with so many intricacies that it gave most of the beasts a slight headache.
Without words being shared, the ten spiders walked onto different arrays and stood still in the center.
"This will be the first demonstration of the teleportation arrays." He said as he sent a bit of Qi into the arrays.
They shone a space-like blue and the spiders disappeared in an instant. Turning back around, the mysterious man continued to speak.
"When they come back, they will inform us of what is on the other side. That way, the risk will be minimized."
Although the arrays couldn't be built by anybody, they could be activated by anyone above the nascent soul realm with permission of the owner. They could also simply overpower the owners Qi in the array, but in this instance it was naturally impossible.
After a minute passed, the arrays once again shone. The spiders once again appeared.
They didn't speak, but they seemed to have the ability to telepathically communicate with the mysterious man.
"Alright then, you ten are free to go." He said as he turned around once more, facing the beasts.
"As expected, an entirely new world, or should I say worlds, are on the other side." He stated.
For the first time since the spiders walked in, the beasts reacted. They remained silent, but the interest on their faces was obvious.
"Only the ten strongest will come with me into the first array. I will build nine arrays there and we will come back afterwards. As for the rest of you, enjoy the rooms in the building. I expect you all to stay here until business is finished." He said.
Soon, the ten strongest people were picked out. Each of them were in the void traversing realm.
A lion, a tiger, a bear, a shark, a whale, a dolphin, and four large birds of different colors. The weakest was in the 5th level of the void traversing realm, while the strongest were at the 9th level.
They entered the array and disappeared with a glow. As they were gone, the remaining people awkwardly stood around.
-----------------------------------------------------
In around 2 days, Tian Ren had finished setting up the nine arrays he needed to set up. Although all of them were nonfunctional as he had yet to build other arrays to connect them to, the first part was finished.
WIthout resting a moment, Tian Ren brought the heavenborns that had built a structure around the arrays while he was creating them and headed back to the heavenborn world.
On the other side of the galaxy, the beasts had just finished up the building around the arrays and the mysterious man had just finished up with the last array.
"You may be feeling some sort of fatigue, although I doubt it, but we must keep going until the starting process is done. I have an eerie feeling that we aren't the only ones exploring new worlds." The mysterious man said before he brought the beasts back through the teleportation array.
--------------------------------------------------
After 17 days, a day shorter than predicted due to the increased mastery of spatial arrays, both planets had finished putting arrays on the ten planets.
The next part was likely to be much more time consuming. They would have to spend a long time exploring the planet to continue forward.
The planet's sizes were no joke.
-------------------------------------------------
It took an entire three thousand years for the heavenborns to finish taking over the first ten planets. In that time much had changed, but the ambition to explore had never died down.
From the heaven world, more than the heavenborns began exploring and taking over land.
With a couple of treaties and agreements of peace, the beasts and supreme beasts of the heaven world had explored the worlds separately but on peaceful terms.
As for the beast world, similar changes had taken place. The supreme beasts that usually secluded themselves from the world as they belonged to no race had gotten wind of the other planets.
Despite having the title of supreme in front of their names, the supreme beasts could only be said to be inferior to the current beasts.
When their order of giving up the arrays didn't scare the beasts of the city away, they formed a very temporary alliance and charged in through the front gate.
They made it about a thousand feet into the city before an array activated and an unknown creature in black cloth appeared in the sky.
In an instant, a darkness seemed to envelop everything. A minute later, the darkness was removed, allowing anyone to see, and the supreme beasts had disappeared.
A couple years later, an alliance that seemed to be one member short and limping came back, negotiating a peace treaty in order to explore the new worlds.
Still wary of the feeling he had, the mysterious man agreed.
