Chapter 173: Seclusion - 173
After a while longer, Zhou Fan reached the point he had previously chosen. From any galaxy or galaxy cluster or space thing, this was the farthest point from everything. Although space was usually silent, Zhou Fan couldn't help but feel that the silence he was in was much more so.
Just a few feet ahead of Zhou Fan was the point he had chosen. Whether or not he cultivated directly in that spot didn't really matter as it wasn't special, but Zhou Fan wanted to sit exactly there.
He thought for a moment, and brought out the pagoda from his spatial ring and looked directly at it. It was something he had made within the Zhou solar system, and was by far his greatest creation. Even the manor wasn't built with half the effort. Only his sword could possibly compare.
Yet, after staring for just a moment, Zhou Fan squinted. In that second, the pagoda was decimated. Not even its ashes or debris remained.
'This will mark a new beginning. Nothing of the past will remain.'
At that thought, Zhou Fan took off his spatial ring and crushed it like the pagoda. All the materials and random things he had brought were crushed as a result, but his sword survived. It was floating directly in front of him.
He had some sentimental feelings about the sword as well, but after a moment, he crushed it into nothing. A slight explosion ensued, but Zhou Fan's gray clothes didn't even move.
Zhou Fan walked towards the point at the speed of a mortal. As he did, his clothes were instantly destroyed like the pagoda, the spatial ring, and his sword.
He stood naked in the point of emptiness he had chosen. He then sat down, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes.
---------------------------------------
500,000 years later, Zhou Fan broke into the 7th level of the inner world realm. Like it had every other time, his inner worlds strength increased greatly, along with its internal size.
Since he had just broken through, Zhou Fan decided to once again enter his inner world. He had only done it once ever since he broke through to the inner world realm, and he had no idea what its current state was.
When Zhou Fan went into the inner world, his body didn't change a bit. The inner world wasn't really that much of an independent space. It was actually quite similar to the mind in some ways.
Therefore, his mind and soul entered his inner world, but his body remained outside.
When Zhou Fan entered, he saw nothing but gray. It wasn't unexpected, but from the first view, it seemed that it hadn't changed at all.
Zhou Fan started flying in a random direction in order to try and reach the end of his inner world. He expected to reach it fairly quickly like last time, but he was sorely mistaken.
After an entire hour of flying, not a single thing had appeared to change. Although he found it weird, Zhou Fan continued forward without thinking too much.
After a day, however, Zhou Fan started to really think. He hadn't expected that his inner world had grown so much. He wasn't exactly moving at his top speed, but he was moving fast enough to go around an average star in a week. That meant that his inner world, the world inside of his small body, had become extremely huge.
Zhou Fan didn't move any faster in fear that using too much power would cause something to go wrong. In the end, it took a total of a week to reach a wall. It wasn't exactly a wall since he could see further, but he couldn't move any further. That didn't mean that his inner world was as big as an average star, but bigger. He assumed that he started at the center and moved straight towards the nearest wall.
If he thought of his inner world as a circle, its radius would be the size of an average star's circumference. If his math was correct, that meant that his inner world was six times bigger than an average star.
That was despite the fact that he hadn't even reached the highest level in the inner world realm.
Zhou Fan couldn't help but laugh as he left his inner world. He was way too powerful.
Once again, Zhou Fan went into seclusion.
-------------------------------------
600,000 years later, Zhou fan broke into the 8th level of the inner world realm. If his inner world was six times the size of an average star before, it was most likely at least three times that size. His power had increased greatly even if you only looked at the size.
His inner world had also increased in strength, not just size. And since the inner world was a part of him, his strength had increased greatly.
Zhou Fan didn't go into the inner world again and started cultivating.
----------------------------------------
750,000 years later, Zhou Fan broke into the 9th level of the inner world realm. His strength had increased greatly as usual.
As he took his slight break, he couldn't help but wonder how big the Zhou world, and all the other worlds he had added to his mortal dao, had become. Earth would have increased in size as well.
They surely hadn't reached the size of a galaxy, and probably wouldn't for many more breakthroughs, but Zhou Fan couldn't help but think of the huge issue they had.
Eventually, they would reach the black holes in their galaxies. By then, would they be able to resist? If black holes were just black holes, Zhou Fan could surely solve the problem with ease. However, there were the cosmic dao strands.
Zhou Fan didn't know if he would be able to handle the cosmic dao by the time his worlds reached the black holes. He also wasn't going to take the risk of going against a strand in hope that the cosmic dao's main body wouldn't retaliate.
It was, without a doubt, a sticky situation that Zhou Fan had to worry about.
Chapter 174: The God Realm - 174
Although it was a problem, it could only be solved once he was stronger. Zhou Fan stopped thinking about it and once again started cultivating.
--------------------
800,000 years later, Zhou Fan reached the tenth level of the inner world realm. The overall increase in power couldn't even be compared to the previous times he broke through. He was many times stronger.
Before he had reached the tenth level, he had hoped that it would give him a hint about the next realm.
Luckily, his expectations were met. As he reached the level, he felt something within his inner world change. It was hard to describe, but it felt more complete. More final. He wasn't sure why, but it gave off a familiar feeling.
He thought long and hard, but still struggled to remember. No matter how good his memory is, sifting through millions of years of existence was extremely difficult.
Finally, it clicked. He had felt a similar feeling in the core formation, nascent soul, and soul formation realms. His inner world was going to assimilate with him!
It was just like his soul had long ago. He wasn't sure if it was because of the decision he had made to keep his mind, body, and soul as one, but there was surely some reason.
Perhaps if he had chosen to not make his mind, body, and soul one, he would be able to take out his inner realm and have a whole world of chaos Qi with incredible power at his command.
He wasn't sure which would be better. Although his inner world could only be described as a part of him, it could still be distinguished. It was much like his heart was a part of him, but it was still a heart.
If he and his inner world truly became one, however, that would change everything. His inner worlds power would no longer grow, but Zhou Fan's power would.
The decision he had made long ago may have chosen his entire cultivation path.
Although Zhou Fan was able to deduce that his inner world would become one with him, he didn't believe that merging would be the only part of the new realm. It would be more like something that happened when he broke through. The new realm would be something else entirely.
He thought for a while, but he would likely only find out when he got there.
Zhou Fan then closed his eyes and fell back into cultivation, ready for the change.
-------------------
A million years later, Zhou Fan hadn't broken through.
'This is ridiculous.' He thought to himself. 'I've just reached the 10% point! My inner world has just begun to move. How long is this da*n realm going to hold me off.'
Despite it being his longest seclusion time ever, he had only reached the ten percent point of his breakthrough. Not only had his inner world not combined with him, it had just moved for the first time.
'Perhaps it is because such a large change is about to happen?' Zhou Fan thought. 'Whatever, I've got plenty of time to waste.'
Another million years later, Zhou Fan reached the 20% point. In the last million years, his inner world began to crack. It had started shaking and was being destroyed. Zhou Fan didn't know if everything was going ok, but he didn't plan on stopping.
500,000 years later, his inner world finally broke. The very essence of the Chaos Qi within it had begun to seep into his body. As it did, it became one with him. The power was slowly increasing his strength.
After another 3 million years, the Chaos Qi within his inner world was almost completely within him. His power had increased by more than ten times, and his breakthrough was only 55% over.
After 2 million more years, the Chaos Qi within the inner world had been completely absorbed by him. Now only its shell was left. Zhou Fan was confused as to how the breakthrough was only 75% finished, but he cultivated patiently.
He soon got the answer to his question. The shell, or walls, of the inner world began to collapse and be sucked into him. He felt his strength once again increasing.
2.5 million years later, the inner world was completely gone. Now, only Zhou Fan remained. He had completely become one with his inner world and it was no more.
However, his breakthrough wasn't finished. He had thought it would be over, but it seemed that he had miscalculated.
Before he could think for too long, a change happened within him. Like space Qi had, once he reached the void traversing realm long ago, he felt a new power being produced by him.
It filled his body, mind, and soul. Zhou Fan couldn't tell much about it, but he could tell that like every other thing about him, it was gray. It wasn't Chaos Qi, but it took the color of it due to his affinity.
It also gave him a feeling. It was a feeling of superiority, and he almost couldn't control it.
The only word he could think of was 'Divine'. It gave off a similar feeling to his divine sense. He decided to call the new power within him 'Divinity'. As he started looking at that power, he felt something else change. It was his realm.
He had finally broken through once the divinity spread through his entire existence. He didn't know why, but he started remembering the past. It was a weirdly specific memory.
He recalled the time when a war between the truth empire and the boundless empire was ongoing. He also remembered when he stepped in and ended the battle, although not with strength.
Out of everything he remembered, he recalled standing on the city walls and hearing the people in the battle say something. It was a name for him.
'God'.
Perhaps it was because of the divinity, but he felt that the name god was actually very good. Therefore, he decided to name the realm after it.
After breaking through, Zhou Fan reached the first level of the god realm.
