After another 8,000 years had passed, Zhou Fan finally felt a change within him. The separate space, which hadn't stopped growing in power for the last 58,000 years, suddenly stopped.
Then, a sound that could only be described as the distortion of space sounded out. Hearing it, Zhou Fan widened his eyes. He had a bad feeling about the next few seconds. As expected, his premonition was right.
From the ball of gray light within the space of his soul, an immense amount of power shot out. Instantly, Zhou Fan knew he had no ability to stop it.
A gray shockwave poured out from his body like an atomic bomb and instantly destroyed the pagoda he had worked hard to create, before reaching the barrier and instantly going through it as if it was air.
Everything the explosion passed by was crumbled to atoms immediately. As it went past the barrier, it quickly expanded, covering the entire sun and nearly destroying it in seconds.
Luckily, Zhou Fan had been able to move some of his power in order to prevent the sun from facing complete destruction.
Still the shockwave continued outwards, absolutely decimating the space it passed by and heading towards the hundred worlds.
It was at that point that Zhou Fan got angry. For the first time in a long, long time, Zhou Fan was genuinely angry.
How dare his own power destroy his own creations. Right before the explosion reached the hundred planets, Zhou Fan roared out and used 100% of his Qi and power, which now exceeded the lesser dao creation realm, in order to lock down the explosion.
Immediately, gray chains covered the entire surface of the explosion, not only stopping it from advancing, but rapidly pulling it back towards Zhou Fan.
As it did so, Zhou Fan instinctually used some of his new power in order to repair the destruction caused by it, which included the very fabric of space, the sun, the barrier, and even the pagoda, before Zhou Fan forced it back into his separate space, ending the entire fiasco.
As soon as the explosion was contained, Zhou Fan sprawled out on the floor, panting. He had never put so much effort into something as he just had. He had also never used such an incredible amount of power before. Naturally, that power came from his increase in cultivation. Although he had no idea what it did or what to name it, he could clearly feel that he had broken through to the next realm.
After regaining his Qi and his stamina, Zhou Fan observed the separate space within him. Surprisingly, it had not changed from before the explosion. It was still a ball of gray light. However, Zhou Fan could feel that the ball of gray light was a separate space that could now be entered.
Therefore, Zhou Fan entered it. Inside, there was no space or skies or ground or life, but simply an endless gray. It was as if nothing existed but the gray light.
Like the entire universe untouched by Zhou Fan, the space only had Chaos Qi. Unlike the entire universe, there was nothing else, besides Zhou Fan himself.
Despite that, Zhou Fan felt that he could draw enormous power out from his separate space. Actually, Zhou Fan felt that he should call it an inner world, a world inside him.
After he thought that, Zhou Fan even decided to name the realm after it.
He would call it the Inner World Realm. After thinking for a while, Zhou Fan came to the conclusion that this was his inner world, and the grayness would not change as he cultivated.
He guessed that the reason it was like this was due to his affinity with Chaos Qi. if someone else were to reach the realm, they may actually have some sort of system happening.
For example, a person with only a fire Qi affinity may have infinite flames filling up their inner world, or someone with only a water affinity may have endless water filling up their realm.
Perhaps someone with many affinities could organize their inner world to form an actual planet. In fact, Zhou Fan could do that, but why would he?
He could already tell that no life would be able to live in his inner space no matter what he did.
If someone with a life Qi affinity were to form an inner world, they wouldn't be able to actually have life either.
Although he had only had it for moments, Zhou Fan could tell that an inner world was not meant to share. Instead, it was for a single person's use and only a single person.
Although Zhou Fan could change his inner world by splitting chaos Qi, he would absolutely not do that. Despite all he had done, he had always felt the most comfortable within Chaos Qi.
As for splitting the Chaos Qi in the solar system, that was for the benefit of the life within it, which Zhou Fan kind of considered his children.
Still, he would always surround himself in Chaos Qi. After taking another look at the inner world of chaos Qi, Zhou Fan found that there was actually a limit to the inner world's size. At some point, he could only stop moving.
Although there was only Chaos Qi in front of him, he couldn't actually move forward. It was as if the chaos Qi was forming a wall to stop him.
Soon, Zhou Fan left his inner world. He knew that as he cultivated, his inner world would expand and the power he could draw from it would increase.
Despite the aspect of drawing power, the inner world was one with him like his body and soul. It was similar to how he drew Qi out from himself, except he was drawing it out from his inner world.
Now that Zhou Fan had broken into the first level of the inner world realm, he could check up on the Zhou solar system's progress, and also finally visit earth to see how it had grown without him.
For the first time in more than 100,000 years, Zhou Fan stood up. After taking a couple of deep breaths and stretching, he teleported outside of the sun.
As he took his first look at the solar system in more than a hundred thousand years, Zhou Fan couldn't help but be slightly disappointed. From his single look, he could tell that no extreme progress had been made by the habitants of the Zhou Solar system.
At the very least, there were no new structures like the grand hall that were visible within the solar system. Still, Zhou Fan couldn't say whether or not there had been zero progress until he expanded his divine sense around the entire solar system, which he promptly did.
Instantly, Zhou Fan caught sight of all the rulers and Jack, along with a couple thousand others, all gathered within the grand hall.
After the explosion had torn apart much of the sun and the space around it, including the grand hall, before it receded and everything went back to normal, every void traversing cultivator within the Zhou Solar system ran to the grand hall as fast as possible.
Since Zhou Fan had spent a while recovering, most of them had been able to reach it before his divine sense expanded. The only ones that didn't were those at the first and second level of the void traversing realm, although they were still rushing.
Inside the grand hall, everyone was looking at the figure on the throne. Even after a hundred thousand years, Anna was still sitting on it. Now, she had reached the 3rd level of the space shattering realm.
As for the dragon king and the other original four rulers, the dragon king had reached the second level of the space shattering realm, while the titanosaur and the monkey king were stuck at the tenth level of void traversing.
Surprisingly, Jack was only watching from the sides, in one of the hundred viewing boxes. A cloak covered his body as if he didn't want anyone knowing of his existence.
After so much time, Jack had led the mermaid race to become the fifth land of the Zhou world. Despite that, everyone was under the impression that he was at the same level as the monkey king and the titanosaur.
It seemed that after a hundred thousand years, Jack had become somewhat of a hidden master. He only revealed enough of his strength to deter others from looking down upon him or his race.
What the others in the room, besides Anna who kept quiet after sensing his strength, didn't know was that Jack had reached the 2nd level of space shattering. Based on his talent, he was even stronger than the dragon king!
For the first time since the creation of the Zhou world, the second place position had been switched! What was even crazier was that not a single person besides Anna seemed to even notice the change in hierarchy.
As for why Anna kept quiet, she simply didn't want to offend Jack. From what she had seen, his talent was at the very least equal to hers. In fact, there was a good chance his talent was higher.
Therefore, it would be foolish to antagonize him by revealing his secrets.
As for killing jack before he overtook her in strength, such a thought never crossed the righteous annas mind.
After a moment of waiting, Anna spoke.
"People of the Zhou World, you may be under the impression that I know something you all do not. Unfortunately, I must admit that I am as clueless as you all are as to what happened." She said. "If it was just an explosion, we could attribute it to a reaction from the sun, but what followed is unexplainable."
Around her, every single person was silent.
"Therefore, I can only assume that this was some mystical event. Perhaps it was some sort of reaction from the galaxy, or even the universe itself. Regardless, there is no point in trying to figure it out. Let's just be grateful we are alive." She said before standing up and teleporting to her room within the grand hall.
After the grim reaper battle long ago, she and the other rulers had managed to recreate teleportation, along with other techniques like the soul escaping technique and the soul trapping technique.
After Anna left the main area of the grand hall, the room was filled with voices. Despite Anna saying that there was no point in talking about it, they couldn't help themselves.
Still, some disappeared after Anna did. Among them was Jack, the titanosaur, the monkey king, and the dragon king, who had attended with his son.
The son the dragon king had brought with him wasn't his first child. In fact, the child had hundreds of older brothers and sisters. The problem was that none of them had enough talent.
Even breaking into the space shattering realm within ten million years would be a miracle for any of them. Luckily, the dragon king had finally gotten a good heir just a hundred years ago.
His talent was one rank higher than his fathers at immortal king 6. Although he would never surpass Anna or Jack, he would surpass his father and likely become a better king, while the dragon king could just hang back and spend his years relaxing.
The dragon king's son, Ao Tu, was also a dragon like his father, but slightly different. While his father could be called a demonic dragon, Ao tu was a pure fire dragon.
As of now, he was at the void traversing realm. It would take him a while, but it was inevitable that he would reach the space shattering realm.
Besides the changes in the important people of the Zhou solar system, there were also changes at the lower levels, along with changes in the lands.
Within the Zhou Solar system, there were now 10,000 void traversing realm cultivators. 9,000 were within the first three levels, 800 were at the fourth to sixth levels, 195 were at the seventh through ninth levels, and five were at the tenth.
As for space shattering cultivators, Jack was the only new addition.
