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.
Chapter 162: Stupid Chicken - 162
Zhou Fan first thought of an array, but that would be so complicated it wouldn't even be worth it. A better idea that he had was to create some sort of robot or puppet to do it. It would have basic intelligence and would be able to deal with unforeseen situations.
In order to keep his manor natural, Zhou Fan used some of the dirt from the ground and shaped it into a human looking sculpture. As he was no newbie, he quickly gave it slight intelligence and a basic set of rules to follow.
The gist of the rules was, keep the place in a state similar to how it is now. With its commands and its low intelligence, the manor was as good as preserved. Zhou Fan didn't feel that the thing in front of him fit the description of life, so he decided to call it a golem.
It wasn't mechanical, so it wasn't a robot, and it wasn't directly under his control, so it wasn't a puppet.
He had seen some things like robots and puppets being developed on earth and in the Zhou solar system before he left, but they were basically useless for any sort of advanced task. Perhaps they would have perfected the art by the time he returned.
The golem was basically a dirt sculpture that could move and do actions. Gaining intelligence didn't affect its looks at all. Since Zhou Fan had used very strong dirt, it would be able to exist without interference for many millions of years.
Still, Zhou Fan created an array that would heal it whenever it was injured or decayed. After that, the manor was officially complete. Although he wouldn't stay for too long, he had no plans to instantly abandon the manor he had just created.
For the first time in a while, Zhou Fan slept. He didn't need to, just like he didn't need to eat or drink, but he did anyway. Otherwise, he would have made a bed for no reason.
The bed he had made was white and comfortable. If a mortal slept on it, he may die from how comfortable it was. The reason it was so comfortable was the material it was made out of. It was made out of feathers from an extremely powerful chicken. Zhou Fan had created it when he first started adding plants to the manor.
It had normal intelligence at first, but it quickly became smarter as its cultivation increased. By the time Zhou Fan had finished with it, it had reached the 5th level of void traversing. Without a doubt, it was the 2nd strongest existence within the tree-like galaxy cluster. It was also the only other existence with any sort of cultivation within it.
As Zhou Fan stayed at the manor, he and the chicken had actually started talking.
In the middle of his second night, the white feathered chicken burst through the door, startling Zhou Fan.
"Brother Fan! Brother Fan!" He squaked urgently.
"What?" Zhou Fan asked, confused.
"Some punk stole my spot at the waterfall and won't give it back!" He clucked.
"Have you considered beating him up?"
"I would, but it's a girl." The chicken said with a conflicted face.
"So beat her up?" Zhou Fan said, wondering what he meant.
"You said It isn't good to hit girls unless they are really rude." The chicken responded innocently.
"She sounds like she's being rude."
"Yes, but she's really pretty." The chicken responded.
Zhou Fan couldn't help but wonder to himself why such a strong chicken was so stupid.
"Fine, lead me there." He said.
The chicken waddled out of Zhou Fan's bedroom and led him down the path towards the waterfall. Despite its cultivation, it still traveled like a mortal chicken. Perhaps that was due to the size of the manor.
Soon, Zhou Fan and the chicken arrived. The chicken stepped out of his way and moved one of his wings in a 'go ahead' gesture.
Zhou Fan looked where his wing was pointing and saw a red fox curled up on a rock in the middle of the small pond.
As soon as she sensed Zhou Fan and the chicken, she opened her eyes and looked at them before hissing in a fox's language.
Because Zhou Fan was so powerful, he understood her words.
"Did you bring your dad to get me out of the way fatty?" She said spitefully.
Zhou Fan was stunned by her rude words.
"He's not my dad, he is my brother. He created you punk!" The chicken said.
"And? I'll beat him up too." The red fox said.
'You let this mortal fox beat you up?' Zhou Fan said in his head while looking at the chicken. 'At least I know you're not violent.'
"She seems pretty strong. I would just give her the spot." Zhou Fan said to the chicken.
The chicken looked at him, feeling betrayed.
"Fine, since you have abandoned your own brother, I'll deal with her myself." The chicken said as he walked towards the water.
If he had sleeves, he would undoubtedly be rolling them up as he walked forward.
Just as he reached the edge of the pond, he stopped and turned around to Zhou Fan.
"I can't swim, can you help me?" He said with a sad face.
Zhou Fan was unable to stop himself from kicking the chicken in its behind.
"You're more powerful than a planet! If you can't swim, I'm a dog! Stop shaming me!"
The stupid chicken flew above the pond and landed on the rock as a result of Zhou Fan's kick. He also landed on the fox, who proceeded to beat him up and throw him off the rock.
Eventually, Zhou Fan had to help the chicken out of the water as he looked like he was actually going to drown.
The fox once again curled on top of the rock. As Zhou Fan followed behind the defeated chicken, he secretly gave the fox some cultivation, although he stopped at the 5th level of space shattering. He also upgraded the chicken's cultivation to space shattering 5.
