Chapter 126: Completed - 126
Although the black hole was weaker than Zhou Fan overall, it had an amount of Qi similar to his. If Zhou Fan was able to collect most of the Qi the black hole was giving off, he would be able to completely power the array. However, taking too much Qi would weaken the gravity that the black hole gave off.
Therefore, Zhou Fan could only safely take away enough Qi to power half of the array. For the rest, he would have to find another source. Using his own Qi would be ridiculous as he would be constantly using at least a fourth of his reserves. That would slow down his cultivation speed and decrease his strength.
The only possibility would be to harness some of the Qi that the bit of cosmic dao was producing. Although it would be a bit complicated, Zhou Fan felt that it was very possible. The biggest difficulty would be getting the Qi out of the black hole. It was constantly sucking up every bit of Qi the bit of cosmic dao was producing, which was also the main reason the black hole was always expanding.
Zhou Fan thought for a while before he had a great idea. Instead of trying to drag the energy out of the black hole himself and risking the bit of cosmic dao attacking him, he could power up the formation with his own Qi and add a formation that would drag the Qi out of the bit of cosmic dao.
With the combination of the black holes Qi and the cosmic daos' Qi, the formation would power itself completely. Now that he had planned everything out, Zhou Fan started to inscribe formations on the four pillars. Along with the attack formations and the barrier formations, he added the Qi grabbing formation that would power the entire thing.
It took him many hours since he was focusing heavily, but Zhou Fan quickly got the job done. With the formations done, Zhou Fan placed the four pillars in the four directions around the black hole. He used his Qi to keep them in place until they were activated and Powered them up.
The four pillars all shined with a purple light that eventually covered every bit of them. With that, Zhou Fan let go of them and they floated without moving. After a moment, purple lightning shot out from the top of the four pillars towards the center point above the black hole and met. At the same time, the bottom of the four pillars shot out a streak of purple lightning that went under the black hole and met at the bottom.
Once the two points were there, the black hole seemed to have a four line cage covering it. The array wasn't completed, however, as from the two points of collision, four more vertical streaks of lightning covered the space in between the four lines, forming an eight line cage of purple lightning. Still, the formation wasn't finished.
From the sides of the four pillars, more purple lightning shot out and formed a horizontal circle around the black hole. Once that was done, an ethereal purple light filled the space untouched by lightning, creating a perfect barrier around the black hole.
Now, the attack section and the barrier section of the array were finished deploying. All that was left was the Qi gathering part. From the four pillars, a suction force grabbed hold of the black holes Qi. It made sure that it didn't touch enough to affect the gravity it gave off, but it grabbed every bit of energy that wasn't needed. From the same suction force, some Qi from the bit of cosmic dao was sucked into the array.
Zhou Fan stopped sending his Qi into the array and watched on as it functioned perfectly. After a while, Zhou Fan knew that it had worked. He happily sat down and meditated to quickly recover the Qi he used to activate the array.
After a while, he opened his eyes and once again looked at the black hole. It seemed like it would stay stable for a long time. Since there was nothing left to do, Zhou Fan checked his map and went back to the Zhou World. It had nearly been fifty years since he had left and it was time to go back.
He quickly returned and saw that nothing had changed while he was gone besides the size of the planets and the sun. He quickly made his way back to the floating palace and started cultivating. He was eager to break through so that he could finally finish adding all the planets to his mortal dao. After he did that, he would finally have a complete Zhou solar system.
-----------------
18,000 years passed and Zhou Fan broke into the 8th level of the lesser dao creation realm. He didn't stay in the floating palace but teleported out into space and started adding planets to his mortal dao. The process was very quick since he had long been used to it and soon, the Zhou Solar system had a hundred planets.
Zhou Fan moved the planets to circle around the sun. Looking at the hundred planets, Zhou Fan couldn't help but feel proud of himself. It took nearly a hundred thousand years of work, but he had done it.
The next step was giving life to the planets he had yet to mess with. Although he had done it to the first ten planets he added to the Zhou Solar System, he had decided to wait until he had gotten all the planets to add life to the rest. Speaking of life on the other planets, they were evolving quite well without his assistance.
Although they weren't exactly improving since they had come from the Zhou Worlds own living beings, they were starting to change in looks and gain their own distinct differences. Even so, none of it mattered until the planets gained a sentient race like the celestials or the humans.
Chapter 127: Crowning - 127
Although Zhou Fan would eventually help the life on the other planets evolve faster and gain a sentient race or two, he decided to first worry about giving the planets without any sort of life a way to gain life.
Zhou Fan first flew to the planet on the left of the Zhou World that didn't have any life. Starting there, he would give life to all the planets in the solar system.
Like before, Zhou Fan took an entire mountain from the Zhou World and gave the planet a layer of dirt, along with living animals and eventually an atmosphere.
He then went to the next planet and repeated the process. Due to the immense size of the Zhou world, a hundred mountains were barely noticeable. Therefore, Zhou Fan had no trouble filling up every planet in the solar system with dirt and life.
Some planets were ice planets, so instead of putting a bunch of dirt on it he simply melted away the ice and created a big water planet.
Afterwards, he took a bunch of water from the Zhou World and gave the dirt planets oceans and rivers.
Everything went so smoothly and Zhou Fan felt lucky that the planets were still so small compared to the Zhou World. All of them combined would only have the surface area of a thousandth of the Zhou world. However, that would eventually change as Zhou Fan broke through and the planets would one day become around half of the size of the Zhou World before staying at that mark.
After he gave each of the planets dirt, water, and life, Zhou Fan was ready to help the life on every planet in the solar system besides the Zhou World evolve.
Although he had done it before, Zhou Fan had never used life Qi on such a wide radius. In order to cover the expanded solar system completely, Zhou Fan would have to expend a lot of effort.
Even so, Zhou Fan felt that there was little to no difficulty in the process. Zhou Fan released a dome from his body that expanded throughout the entire solar system, excluding only the Zhou world and its sun.
After the dome covered everything else, Zhou Fan filled it up with all the life Qi he could produce. A green mist covered every single planet besides the Zhou world and all the life on those planets felt energized down to their cells. Changes quickly happened and Zhou Fan watched as life changed at a rapid rate.
After a year of constantly receiving life Qi, the life on the planets had changed rapidly. One of the planets had even shown signs of having sentient life. It was still too early to tell, but Zhou Fan had hope.
After five more years, the life had changed and grown even more. Now, 10 of the planets had gained sentient life. They mostly had humanoid features like the celestials and humans, but there were plenty of differences.
After ten more years, fifty of the hundred planets had gained some sort of sentient life. As more planets gained it, Zhou Fan saw many more variations exist. From one planet, there were bee looking beings that had become sentient. They were yellow with stingers, yet wore clothes and carried bags.
It was weird to even look at, but Zhou Fan quickly got over it. In the future, he guessed that much weirder life would appear.
After another twenty years, every single planet in the Zhou solar system had sentient life. The weirdest to Zhou Fan were still the bees, but there were plenty almost as weird.
In the last twenty years, the dragon king and the other rulers, besides Anna who was breaking through, had discovered that the planets had gained some sentient life. They were shocked as they expected it to be hundreds of thousands of years before such a thing happened, but they quickly started to venture out and meet the new species.
While they were doing that, Zhou Fan was looking at the deepest part of the Zhou World's ocean. Down there, a coronation ceremony was happening. On a throne made of gold sat a young looking mermaid male.
Zhou Fan decided to start calling male mermaids merman to avoid personal confusion.
An older merman was walking towards the young merman with a scepter while tens of thousands of other mermaids watched it happen in silence.
Once the older merman reached the boy, he knelt on the ground and held up a crown of pure gold inlaid with many rare jewels.
"Countless years have passed since our mermaid race was first born, yet we have stayed in our place without daring to go too far. We have long been too cowardly to explore the world and it has started to seep into our very bones. With you, however, we can enter a new era for the mermaid race. Finally, we have a king!" The old merman said while kneeling.
The surrounding mermaids erupted into a cheer after hearing the old mermans declaration. However, the young man suddenly stood up, silencing the crowd.
He took the crown from the old mermans hands and put it on his head. The boy picked up the golden trident standing against the throne and raised it up in the air.
"I solemnly swear that the mermaid race will never hide away at the bottom of the ocean again." He said with hope in his eyes.
The surrounding mermaids once again erupted in cheer. Eventually, they seemed to band together and started a chant.
"Long live the king! Long live the king! Long live the king!"
Their combined chants were so loud that the ocean floor shook and the ground above experienced slight movement.
If any of the rulers were still on the planet, or if Anna was paying any attention to the outside world, then they would have all felt the tremors and instantly understood what was going on. Coincidently, however, they were each occupied with their own business.
