Chapter 106: Afterwards - 106
Despite the fact that the battle lasted less than an hour, the damage done had exceeded the last battle by a large amount.
Many mountains had been destroyed and there were plenty of holes and cracks in the ground. During the entire battle, the ground had shook enough to kill many core formation cultivators in minutes.
Luckily, the only people who came were nascent soul cultivators and above and they had even managed to get far away from the battle. Only the minorest of injuries were sustained by them.
The main four battlers, however, suffered some major injuries. Especially the dragon king who was heavily injured during the very beginning of the battle.
At first, the soul formation cultivators who had attended the meeting had tried to assist in the battle, but they instantly realized that they would only be killed if they were near it.
Therefore, the void traversing cultivators blocked the shockwaves and escorted them away. The void traversing cultivators didn't even have time to return before the battle was over.
Although it could be said to be a victory, no lasting damage was done to the grim reaper while the four rulers all had some sort of injuries.
The monkey king, who had summoned the buddha, was now laying on the ground in a comatose state. The battle had taken a lot out of him and caused him to be depleted of all his Qi.
Luckily, he would not die. Instead, he would likely wake up in less than a week at full strength.
On the other side of the Zhou World, Zhou Fan stared at a new area being formed. The expansion of the world had already started, and Zhou Fan estimated it would take 5 years to finish.
As he watched the terrain change, Zhou Fan started to think of ideas to increase the vitality of the universe. He had remembered the other planets in the solar system that the Zhou world existed in and considered giving life to them as well.
He could create another new humanoid race like demons or even just recreate humans. However, he wanted to first be able to connect them to his mortal Dao. If he could form a sort of chain that connected all the planets through his mortal Dao, giving life to the worlds would give him many benefits.
Unfortunately, such a thing was too complicated for him right now. He would consider trying again once his cultivation reached the 5th level of lesser Dao creation.
The expansion of the world would take a bit longer to complete, so Zhou Fan decided to add some more opportunities. He checked earlier and as expected, both opportunities were still there.
The sword in the ravine had not been found at all, and the shield protected by challenges had only been recently discovered.
A couple dinosaurs had attempted the challenge, but none had gotten past the 3rd level. Zhou Fan estimated that within the next ten thousand years, challenging the cave would be a dinosaur tradition.
After all, the people who had made it through the first level had received rewards. Even if they didn't plan on telling anybody, it would be revealed eventually.
After increasing the strength of the formations surrounding the challenge, Zhou Fan went away in order to place a new opportunity.
He moved along the Zhou World until he came across an ocean. It was huge and extended farther than the eye could see.
Zhou Fan considered putting an opportunity there. However, he had no idea what opportunity would fit the ocean.
After thinking for a bit, he chose to make a special whip. He would place it in the deepest area of the ocean and put deadly formations around it. He would still leave a path through, but it would be invisible and one would need to be extremely lucky to get it.
Once they got their hands on the whip, they would be able to pass through the formations unharmed. Therefore, they could also use it to hide if they were in trouble.
After confirming the idea, Zhou Fan started to move towards the deepest part of the ocean. It was many miles away and Zhou Fan had to look for a while before he found it.
The point was 200,000 feet deep and the pressure would be unbearable to anyone below foundation establishment. In fact, even 10th level foundation establishment cultivators would struggle to survive so deep. The only way they would be able to is if they had a water affinity.
Zhou Fan continued towards the sea floor, but just as he was about to touch it, his foot fell right through it. Surprisingly, what he thought was a sea floor was actually a layer of dust and debris.
When Zhou Fan got below the layer, he saw something incredible. There were glowing lights and swimming fish everywhere. The pressure was still incredible, but they were moving around as if it was nothing.
They weren't even cultivators! The most common sight was worms of different shapes, sizes, and colors.
Some were blue and gave off electricity while some were yellow and hid under rocks. There was also coral and unmoving life throughout the area. Some of the things at the bottom even seemed edible and even delicious. Overall, it was as if there was another world at the bottom of the ocean.
Zhou Fan started to move around the area in curiosity and found many more interesting things. One finding in particular gave Zhou Fan an immense shock.
There was a fishlike being that had a head similar to a humans swimming by. It had a tail of a fish but the upper body of a human.
Zhou Fan instantly scanned it and was disappointed to find out that it had little to no intelligence.
However, that was something that could be fixed. Zhou Fan decided that before he created an opportunity, he would give the being that swam past him intelligence and make it a new race.
Chapter 107: New Race - 107
Zhou Fan followed the fish-like creature as it swam away. It didn't use its arms to swim and instead flapped its tail like a fish with its arms by its side. The creature continued to swim in a certain direction until it suddenly went downwards.
Zhou Fan went to the spot where it descended and found a cave entrance. Zhou Fan went down into it and saw a series of tunnels. Zhou Fan released his divine sense in order to find out where it went and followed it through the tunnels.
After swimming for ten minutes, the creature finally exited the group of tunnels and entered a large underwater cave. Zhou Fan entered behind it and was surprised to see such a big place so deep.
Zhou Fan even had to change his previous estimate of the deepest spot in the ocean to this cave.
As Zhou Fan looked around the cave, he realized that there were many more fish-like creatures in the cave. In fact, there were hundreds.
Clearly, this was not a unique animal similar to a supreme beast, but an entire race. Zhou Fan thought for a while and decided to call them mermaids.
They slept in the wide open and didn't build any structures whatsoever, proving to Zhou Fan once again that they were not an intelligent race.
Zhou Fan grabbed the mermaid he followed down to the cave with Qi and dragged him over to him. He also freezed all of his movement so that he would stay still.
Zhou Fan put his thumb on the mermaid's head and started to tinker with its brain. He first gave it a bit of his intelligence to essentially start the brain up, then he started to connect what could only be called wires in the beings brain.
After basically remodeling the entire brain, Zhou Fan finally finished. The mermaid that had previously swam around instinctually, not following any rules or having any ideas, now stood in front of Zhou Fan with curious eyes.
Zhou Fan quickly let it go as it did its own thing. It swam around like a newborn, since it literally was, and studied everything it came across.
After he finished the first one, Zhou Fan was able to quickly do the same to the other hundred mermaids that lived in the cave.
Luckily, the cave was huge. Even if the mermaid population increased to a hundred thousand, they would still have some moving room. Of course, they would have to live close together like it's an overpopulated city.
After giving them intelligence, Zhou Fan decided not to mess with them anymore. He would let them develop on their own and evolve without assistance or guidance.
Next on the list was creating an opportunity. At first, Zhou Fan had decided to make a whip, but he changed his mind after seeing what he saw today.
Instead, he would now make a trident. The sole condition to obtain it would be a high talent. The talent requirement would be to have talent at or near the same level of annas. Naturally, it would also accept talent above hers.
Zhou Fan grabbed some gold deep in the center of the Zhou World and shaped it into a trident. The gold was a Qi material and was at the level of void traversing, almost reaching the level of space shattering. It was without a doubt, one of the greatest ores in the Zhou World and even the universe.
Zhou Fan didn't stop after shaping it, and infused many types of Qi into it, making it much much stronger than it already was.
He added gold Qi and water Qi the most. It was already a weapon fit for a king or an emperor, but Zhou Fan also added formations onto it, making it a growth weapon and a weapon fit for a god.
Zhou Fan had to take a break and look at the weapon for a moment after he finished. It was definitely one of the strongest and most beautiful weapons he had ever made. As per usual, it was a growth weapon.
The only weapon that may be able to compete is the sword Zhou Fan made from an entire planet.
Although the trident was strong, it wouldn't immediately make the user the strongest. Its full strength could only be unveiled by someone at the space shattering realm. Of course, if they exceeded that one day, the weapon would become stronger and still be the best of its level.
With the trident finished, all Zhou Fan had to do was place it somewhere and put restrictions on it that ensured only someone extremely talented could get it.
Zhou Fan went to the north part of the cave and found a nice area. There, he stabbed the trident into the ground and put talent restrictions over it.
Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Fan decided to put some words down on a stone tablet that he made next to the trident.
It read : He who pulls the trident from its place shall be the king of the ocean, not to be harmed by any of his subjects or the wrath of God shall descend.
He made it because he was worried that some greedy cultivator would kill the person who took it so that they could own it, although that wouldn't give them ownership and the trident would only return to its place.
Zhou Fan also added a restriction that only mermaids could pull the trident. Otherwise, Anna could simply waltz over and steal a god-level weapon.
After finishing that, Zhou Fan left the cave and flew back to the ocean surface. He considered the journey a fruitful one, but wanted to add one more opportunity before he went back to seclusion.
As he was looking around for a place to put an opportunity, Zhou Fan checked the fortune space. As expected, it had been discovered and many beings had gotten a fruit by either luck or strength.
Anna and the dragon king had teamed up multiple times to take the fruit from the white tiger, but had only succeeded a handful of times. Zhou Fan was glad that his idea was working properly and continued to look for a place to put an opportunity.
