Chapter 160: Starfield - 160
Despite helping so many planets in so many galaxies, there were some that Zhou Fan avoided.
Those were the galaxies closest to the center. They were so close and piled up that Zhou Fan couldn't even see beyond them. Of course, that wasn't all they were doing. Zhou Fan could normally see through any solid object with either his divine sense or just his normal eyes.
However, there was a force blocking either thing from seeing past the galaxies. It didn't feel intentional. Instead, it felt as if whatever was behind the galaxies held so much power that he wasn't worthy of even seeing it.
Zhou Fan had pondered over what it could be. The biggest possibility would be the cosmic dao. The great dao. But that seemed unlikely the more Zhou Fan thought about it.
With his comprehension, Zhou Fan had a feeling that he would at least be able to somewhat sense the cosmic dao. However, he didn't exactly feel that from within the galaxies. He did feel something like the cosmic dao, but it gave off a feeling similar to the strands within black holes.
Perhaps the strand was the cause of the galaxy cluster, or perhaps it was simply coincidently there. Regardless, Zhou Fan would only know in the future.
After lingering near the wall of galaxies for a while longer, Zhou Fan left the packed together area. Although he couldn't enter the center of the cluster of galaxies, Zhou Fan wasn't forced to stop doing things until he was strong enough to.
Zhou Fan flew to the clearest place he had found so far and looked upon the many existences. Far away, there were other galaxy clusters and even things bigger than that. Farther away, there were things bigger than the things bigger than the galaxy cluster Zhou Fan was in.
His galaxy cluster consisted of many galaxies, but a single percent of some of the things far away may consist of more galaxies.
He wasn't sure if they were galaxy clusters, or clusters of galaxy clusters, or anything else. All that mattered was that there is more.
Even with Zhou Fan's strength, the universe could only be called infinite. He had been focusing on a small group of things, but there were many more out there.
Although some spots in the universe seemed empty, Zhou Fan knew that even more lied beyond the darkness. He wasn't sure quite how long it would take, but Zhou Fan knew that, unless he died, he would transcend all of it.
After thinking, Zhou Fan decided to fly to the nearest thing. Otherwise, he would spend millions of years traveling.
With his full speed, Zhou Fan flew to what seemed like a field of stars.
------------------
10,000 years later, Zhou Fan reached the 10% point between the field of stars and the galaxy cluster. Although the distance was far, Zhou Fan didn't mind.
-----------------------
90,000 years later, Zhou Fan reached the entryway to what he had named the starfield.
Ahead, Zhou Fan only saw a mixture of gasses and stars. It seemed that there were no black holes, planets, or galaxies within the entire thing.
Zhou Fan could only guess that the starfield was held together by the stars within it. The star's gravity acted as a chain that connected to other stars, stopping them from moving away.
As for what was in the middle, Zhou Fan would only find out by going in.
After entering, Zhou Fan felt the difference from the empty void. Without being within a galaxy, everything was colder and darker. Now that he had entered a starfield, Zhou Fan felt better. It seemed to share some of the same effects as a galaxy.
As Zhou Fan ventured through the starfield, he came across many unique things he had never seen before. The first was a pink star. The second was a green star. The third was a weirdly shaped star. It slightly resembled a snake or tube.
As he continued to move towards the center of the starfield, Zhou Fan saw more and more weird stars. Overall, the amount of normal stars still outnumbered the weird stars by a lot.
After a year of travel, Zhou Fan felt that he was getting closer to the center. Although the starfield was small to him, it was still bigger than many galaxies combined.
Before long, Zhou Fan saw what was in the center of the star field. In front of him, a giant red star much bigger than any other he had ever seen was floating in space.
Its gravity was the main reason why the entire starfield was held together. To put it into perspective, if the Zhou solar system's star was multiplied by a thousand times and put next to the star in front of him, it would barely reach 1% of its size.
Even Zhou Fan almost felt himself being affected by the gravity despite being more than a lightyear away from the star.
It was burning with a heat that Zhou Fan was unconfident in resisting. The giant star completely outclassed the current Zhou Fan. He didn't even have the guts to get too close to it without using Chaos Qi, which he couldn't do.
Once again, Zhou Fan felt just how weak he was compared to something in the universe. After admiring the star for a bit longer Zhou Fan used his comprehension of the cosmic dao to look at the space around him.
With it, he was able to see how the gravity of all the stars linked up and formed a chain. As for the big star, it was the main link. It personally connected to the gravity field of more than ten thousand stars.
As for the others, it still affected them in some ways. The giant star acted as the ruler of all the other stars within the star field. Zhou Fan couldn't help but admire it more than he feared it. After all, his fear was nearly non-existent.
As long as he stayed away, the star wouldn't harm him at all.
Chapter 161: Tree-Like Galaxy Cluster - 161
Eventually, Zhou Fans' admiration died down. Although it was great, it was only a star. It would not grow and it would eventually die. That didn't make it less great, but it couldn't be compared to someone like Zhou Fan.
After exploring the rest of the starfield and making sure he hadn't missed anything, Zhou Fan left. He headed in the direction of another interesting thing.
He wasn't quite sure what it was, but it looked like a golden tree from where Zhou Fan looked. It was likely a coincidence, but Zhou Fan still wanted to check it out.
Luckily, it was one of the closer things to Zhou Fan. After only ten thousand years of travel, Zhou Fan reached it. As he had gotten closer, he had realized that it was another galaxy cluster. Unlike the other galaxy cluster that looked yellow from afar but contained many different looking galaxies, the tree shaped galaxy cluster only had golden and yellow galaxies.
When Zhou Fan first saw them, he felt amazed. He hadn't seen so much gold and yellow since the time he had visited the gautama kingdom.
The galaxies gave off the feeling of elegance and royalty. If there was ever a cluster of galaxies solely for the rich in the future, this would undoubtedly be it.
After getting used to its looks, Zhou Fan started to explore it. Compared to the other galaxy cluster, it was much smaller. Zhou Fan estimated that it contained only 100,000 galaxies in total. Since they were all so close together, the galaxy cluster barely reached 30 billion lightyears in size. Although difficult for others to traverse, Zhou Fan had long reached an ungodly speed.
It only took him ten years to explore the entire thing. Of course, that also included the time it took to connect the planets with potential for life and their suns to his mortal dao.
Even after he had finished, Zhou Fan didn't leave. The galaxy cluster was so beautiful, he wanted to create a base. Although he couldn't do it in the center since whatever held the galaxy together was there, he could settle for a branch of the tree-like galaxy cluster.
Like his galaxy cluster, the attractor in the center of the tree-like galaxy cluster was covered by a thick layer of galaxies. He had also avoided them in order to stay safe.
Compared to the amount of galaxies that covered the great attractor in his galaxy cluster, the amount covering the attractor in the tree-like galaxy cluster was very small. Zhou Fan estimated that it was only covered by 5,000 galaxies.
As for his galaxy cluster's great attractor, it was covered by more than a hundred thousand. More galaxies than the entire tree-like galaxy cluster had.
That was why he only called whatever was in the center of the tree-like galaxy cluster an attractor, while he called the thing in the center of his galaxy cluster the great attractor.
After looking for a bit, Zhou Fan decided to make his base in the center of one of the galaxies on the very edge of the tree-like galaxy cluster.
Since it didn't have any planets with potential for life, Zhou Fan assumed that it would remain untouched for a very long period of time.
After all, Zhou Fan was the only person who had the ability to even leave a galaxy, much less go to another one.
It would be many millions or even billions of years before any sort of life explored beyond galaxies. Although one could leave a galaxy at the lesser dao creation realm, they wouldn't be able to reach another one without many years of travel in normal circumstances.
The red galaxy and the Zhou galaxy were exceptions since they were much closer than ordinary galaxies.
The distance between the galaxy he chose and every other galaxy was many times bigger than the distance between even normal galaxies, much less close galaxies like the Zhou Galaxy and the red galaxy.
Zhou Fan quickly reached the galaxy he had chosen and went to its center. Naturally, there was a black hole. Zhou Fan planned on building his residence over it.
He got the materials from a couple thousand nearby planets. He compressed them all, although not to the same density as his sword, and increased their level.
After getting a few more thousand of such planets, Zhou Fan had enough materials to build a good residence. Although he had focused on single building houses in the past, Zhou Fan decided to build more of a manor instead. It would still be one structure, but it would contain many side buildings and land.
Zhou Fan first started with the array to prevent his manor from being sucked in by the black hole. It was pretty important in the construction process.
After he had completed it, Zhou Fan went ahead and created attack and defense arrays around the place his house would be.
Once all the arrays were finished, Zhou Fan started with the actual construction. He started with the foundation. He used dirt and grass, shaping them into a square. The square was fairly large, although miniscule when compared to the black hole, and 50 feet deep.
Next, Zhou Fan used wood and stone for the buildings. In the center of one of the sides, he built a small house with only a bedroom and a small living room.
After the main building was done, Zhou Fan created paths and other buildings within the space of the dirt square. He had a small creek, a waterfall, and even a couple living trees.
By the time he was done with construction, he had a garden, a small pond with a waterfall flowing into it, three side buildings, and a tiny cave. Decorated with plants he had evolved, the place was quite good looking. Of course, he had created a bubble to keep air in for the plants.
The next thing he needed to do was make a way the place could stay nice and clean while he was gone.
