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.
Chapter 108: Break Time - 108
After searching for many hours, Zhou Fan found a place he considered suitable. There was a small city on the outskirts of the celestial lands that had a population of less than 500.
There was also not a single cultivator above foundation establishment in the village. Luckily, celestials were born with core formation bodies and could easily survive without cultivating even in a cultivation world.
Zhou Fan didn't think that the village was a suitable place because there was a secret or something special, but because of an idea he had.
When he made the trident and put it in the ground with the restrictions, he started thinking about doing it to other places as well. One difference, however, would be that he wouldn't make a legend saying the person that pulled it out was king.
Instead, he would allow the villagers to create their own legend about the weapon if they wanted one.
Zhou Fan walked to the center of the village and decided to place the weapon there. There were a couple villagers in the surroundings, so Zhou Fan decided to make a spectacle of placing the weapon.
He first temporarily made the area around him invisible, then pulled some rock from the earth and into the sky. He also flew to the sky and started to forge a weapon that would be placed in the rock.
Like the trident, Zhou Fan pulled gold from the deepest depths of the earth but shaped a sword. The trident and the sword would be made of the exact material.
Instead of giving it the power of water Qi and Gold Qi, Zhou Fan gave the sword the power of light Qi alone. He then put many formations on the sword that increased its overall stats and made it a growth weapon.
Finally, Zhou fan stabbed the sword into the stone, leaving out only the hilt and a bit of blade. He then added restrictions to who could pull the sword out, but they were different from the tridents.
First, the user had to have a high level of talent. Second, the user had to be good and pure of heart. Finally, the user had to have a light Qi affinity.
Although the requirements were high, only someone like that would be able to bring out the weapons full potential.
After he had completely finished forging the weapon, Zhou Fan stopped making the surrounding area invisible and instead only made himself invisible.
The villagers hadn't noticed the sword in the sky even after a few minutes, so Zhou fan created a light in the sky and the sword started descending to the ground, following a path of a pillar of light.
The unaware villagers quickly noticed the descending sword in stone and gathered around where it would land.
Before long, the sword had landed and the villagers stared at it in awe. Although they had seen many mystical things in their lives, they had only seen them from afar.
After only a minute, someone was trying to pull the sword out. Unfortunately, they completely failed to even budge it. After continuing to try for a while, they felt exhausted and gave up.
Someone else then went to try to pull the sword and the process of failing repeated until every single villager had tried.
In the meantime, Zhou Fan was making his way back to his palace. The world was still expanding and Zhou Fan had to wait it out somewhere.
Once he made it back to the palace, Zhou Fan changed his mind and descended to the ground, walking the path that previously led him to the village of beastmen.
Before long, he once again reached the village. Instead of only staying for moments before leaving, Zhou Fan decided he would leisurely spend the next few years there.
He first walked around the village, asking anybody about jobs, before he finally found one as a blacksmith's assistant. The pay would be 3 copper coins per hour, but Zhou Fan didn't mind. He had to start somewhere.
Time sped by and Zhou Fan quickly realized that the blacksmith was an extremely nice person, not only to him, but to everyone in the village regardless of looks or background.
Zhou Fan kept working as the blacksmith's assistant for a year before the blacksmith suddenly became bedridden.
Zhou Fan had visited him at the doctors many times, but it seemed he would die soon. Zhou Fan didn't interfere despite him being a nice person, letting him die peacefully and happily.
During the period of work, Zhou fan had long saved up a lot of money and now decided to buy a nice house with some of his savings.
After duplicating some coins and making himself 20 times richer than he was, Zhou Fan bought one of the nicest homes in the village, a two story manor with a balcony.
The rest of the money he had was more than enough to live peacefully for the next few years.
Like he planned, Zhou fan did live a great life for the next four years. As he was sitting in a reclining chair on the balcony while sipping a cold drink and wearing sunglasses, Zhou Fan felt the world finish expanding.
He stayed sitting and sighed before he reluctantly put his drink down and got up from his chair. He walked down the stairs and out of the house in the direction of the real estate company.
He put the house up for sale and it was sold in a matter of 2 days. Zhou Fan took his money and teleported back to the floating palace.
Below the palace, there were a group of people from each race trying to test their ability to move up.
Although Anna and the dragon king had stopped coming to the palace for a while, many others tried their luck and tested their strength with the stairs.
Zhou Fan went by them unnoticed and entered the palace. He then went to his room in the back and sat down in a meditative position.
