Chapter 122: To Kill or Not To Kill - 122
Zhou Fan flew above the sun and looked for the center most point. He planned to create the grand hall directly above the center of the sun, yet far enough that it was hardly affected by the heat.
He wasn't sure how big he would make it, but it wouldn't be colossal. He didn't mind how big it was as long as it fulfilled its singular purpose. Being a meeting place.
It would serve as the place that all leaders of each of the hundred planets would gather in, much like the palace in the center of Zhou World.
Like usual, Zhou Fan got all the materials from the center of the Zhou world. This time, the strongest materials were at the tenth level of space shattering. As Zhou Fans cultivation increased and the Zhou World expanded, the materials it had also grew stronger.
Zhou Fan estimated that within the next two breakthroughs, materials at the lesser dao creation realm would start existing.
Zhou Fan essentially cleared out every bit of space shattering 10 material within the Zhou World and teleported back to the area that he wanted to create the palace in.
The palace would be square shaped and a hundreth of the size of the current Zhou world. It would have a flat area in the front with pillars connecting to an overhanging ceiling and giant doors that ensure even a hundred titanosaurs could get in at the same time.
The entire outside of the grand hall would be white like marble. As for the inside, it would have carpets and chairs that looked like thrones. It would have banners hanging from the ceiling representing each of the planets or powerful groups.
For example, the Zhou world would have a banner but there would also be banners representing the most powerful groups of the Zhou World like the celestials and the supreme beasts.
With everything planned out, Zhou Fan started creating the building. It only took an hour before the giant structure was finished and furnished. It looked even better than Zhou Fan initially thought it would.
On the inside were a hundred sections that represented the hundred planets lined up on the sides in the air and a carpet leading towards a carpeted area with a throne.
The throne would be sat on by the most powerful person in the Zhou solar system. As of right now, that would be Anna.
Zhou Fan walked down the carpeted walkway and reached the throne. He didn't sit on it but put a book on top of the throne. Once one of the powerful members of the Zhou World discovers the area and finds the book, they would know exactly what was to be done with it.
As Zhou Fan was placing the book, a meeting between the 4 rulers of the Zhou World was taking place. They had convened after seeing the major movement within the space around them.
Naturally, the movement and growth of planets and the sun hadn't gone unnoticed in the Zhou World. Even the dumbest of cultivators realized that something weird was going on when a sun appeared and new planets were seen at night.
For a long time, the rulers had been convening about the movements, starting from when Zhou Fan first replaced the moon.
"Recently, more and more planets have begun circling around the sun. I believe it won't be long before each of the nearest hundred planets are doing the same. While that alone is not exactly a threat, it remains a question as to what is going on and if it is a threat to us." Anna said at the start of the meeting. "We have also seen more and more evolutions from the 10 other planets with life on them. Luckily, it has only been non-sentient life forms, which pose no threat to us. However, they may soon gain sentient life that may feel the need to go to war with us. Therefore, a course of action needs to be discussed."
"I say we kill all the life on the other planets before something unexpected happens. Who knows if they will ever quickly grow under our noses and strike at us. It is not worth the risk it may bring." The dragon king said.
Although it sounded dark, what he said was the most logical course of action. Otherwise, unnecessary threats could be born.
"It is completely unethical to wipe out life that poses absolutely no threat to us. Although what you said could be true, the odds of someone talented enough to grow faster than us, and without us noticing, being born is incalculable. Instead of killing all of the life on the planets, I propose that we help it grow and increase our own powers in case a real threat ever reaches us. That way, we can avoid the evil act of masacre and instead bring us even more benefits than the massacre would." The monkey king said, arguing against the dragon king's cruel suggestion.
"I have no opinion on the matter and will follow whatever consensus you all come to." The titanosaur briefly said. He hadn't cared about things outside of the dinosaur lands for a long time.
"Although I too am mostly neutral, I believe that the monkey king's idea is better for everyone." Anna said. " It will also help us increase our power with very little chance of a threat. Remember, we always have a real threat hanging above our heads. We cannot get too caught up in possible threats when we can help alleviate a current threat."
Obviously, the threat she was talking about was the grim reaper. He had always been a real and threatening existence to the Zhou World.
"Does anyone have anything else to say on the matter?" Anna asked after seeing that no one started speaking.
Not a single person moved as they continued to look at her.
"In that case, Let's vote. Raise your hand if you believe that we should follow the monkey king's suggestion and help the life on the other planets grow."
Hearing her, everyone, including the titanosaur and the dragon king raised their hands.
"In that case, let's discuss how we should go about nurturing them." Anna said.
Chapter 123: Exploration - 123
After he placed the book on the throne, Zhou Fan teleported back to the Zhou world. Although he was ready to go back into cultivation, he needed to wait some years before the Zhou Solar System finished expanding.
Until that time, he would have to find something else to occupy him. Zhou Fan thought for a while, and since it would take the Zhou World more than fifty years to expand, he could go out and explore the galaxy again. With his current strength and speed, he would be able to travel around the full thing within fifty years even if he took it slowly.
In the past years, Zhou Fan had been able to observe and draw a map of much of the galaxy. He had come to the conclusion that it was in the shape of a spiraling circle.
The earth was somewhere in the middle section, in between the core section and the outer section of the galaxy. The Zhou Solar System was very close to the earth on the map, but they were still many many light-years away from each other.
Although he was somewhat curious about the state of the planet, Zhou Fan wanted to hold off his visit to earth for a bit longer. Perhaps he would visit after he broke through to the realm after lesser dao creation.
Until then, he decided to go outwards towards the edge of the galaxy and then circle the peripheral until he had gone around it. After that, he would sweep the entire area by going around until he finally reached the center of the galaxy and found what lies there.
At a speed that may have never been seen before in the universe, Zhou Fan flew off towards the edge of the galaxy. Everytime he found a solar system or a lone celestial body, he would stop, explore the area, and write it down on his map.
In just a month, Zhou Fan made it to the edge of the galaxy. Behind him was a field of stars and planets while in front of him was an endless darkness with the only thing past it being other galaxies.
For the first time, Zhou Fan was getting a clear and uninterrupted view of a galaxy. Just like Zhou Fan estimated his galaxy looked like, the galaxy was a spiral circle with countless stars.
One difference was that the other galaxy had an overall red hue to it while his galaxy had a purple hue to it. It was by far the most beautiful thing he had seen. There were also other galaxies within view, but the red one was the closest and most interesting looking.
Zhou Fan walked out of the boundary of the galaxy for the first time and felt an immense chill. It was as if his body was encased in absolute darkness, without light or warmth.
To Zhou Fan, it wasn't very hard to withstand, but it was still an uncomfortable and weird feeling. He estimated that someone would have to be at the lesser dao creation realm to even survive in the space between galaxies.
He didn't stay within the area too long before he went back inside the galaxy. Although the galaxy could be considered huge, the space in between them was much much bigger.
If you lined up Zhou Fans galaxy side by side in the direction of the nearest galaxy, it would take more than a thousand of them to reach the other galaxy. For that reason, Zhou Fan decided to stay within the bounds of his galaxy for a while. He was in no rush to explore the rest of the universe and as long as he kept getting stronger, he would be able to traverse its entirety in a snap.
After his encounter with the area in between the galaxies, Zhou Fan stayed within the galaxy and went around the outside edge. The entire trip took a year to complete and Zhou Fan could say that he had explored 5% of the outer galaxy.
After he reached the same place that he had left the galaxy at, he went inwards and explored the next section of the galaxy, writing the entire exploration down and creating a map.
After 25 years, Zhou Fan had finally finished exploring the outer section of the galaxy. He had seen many interesting things and even discovered a couple things no one had known existed.
Zhou Fan double checked to make sure he had covered the entire area of the outer galaxy and went to the middle section, the same area that earth and the Zhou Solar System existed in.
Although he would pass by earth, Zhou Fan decided to stay a thousand light years away from it at all times and even block his vision from seeing the area.
He truly wanted to have a surprise when he returned in the future. No spoilers could be allowed.
Zhou Fan then explored the entire middle area, discovering a few more new things and mapping the entire area. It took him 15 years to do so. Next was the core area.
The core area took up 5 thousand light years of the galaxy and was about 5% of the total area. Even so, Zhou Fan was most excited to explore it. He could feel that within the core area was the secret to how the galaxy was held together.
Unlike the solar systems, it wasn't held together by a sun, but by something producing much more gravity.
Zhou Fan slowly swept the outside of the core area and slowly rotated his way towards the center. He took much more time and mapped much more carefully.
The planets in the core area were much bigger than the planets in the other areas. Even the suns were much bigger on average. Although there was nothing the size of the Zhou World or its sun, there were some things that came pretty close.
After 7 years, Zhou Fan finally made his way to the center of the core area. Blocking his path was a field of debris similar to an asteroid belt but much thicker. It was so thick that he was unable to see past it.
