Chapter 182: Green Tiger - 182
The animal was in the shape of a cat-like or dog-like creature. It walked on four legs and had a tail, along with two eyes, a mouth, and a nose. It didn't have fur like cats or dogs, but its body bore some similarity with dirt.
At the very least, it had a dirt like color and what seemed like a dirt like texture. Along with its dirt colored body, it seemed to have lines of green flowing across its body. They seemed to be like veins. The green was very bright and could be described as neon.
It made the four legged animal go from dirt-like to mystical. He didn't know if this would change, but he was looking forward to finding out.
The animal didn't make too many movements since the life Qi was still flowing into it, so Zhou Fan was unaware of whether or not he was aggressive or peaceful.
After a bit longer, Zhou Fan sensed that the animal, or rather, beast now, had reached its final form.
Now, it was less in the shape of a cat or a dog and more in the shape of a lion or tiger. In fact, it was even bigger. Its height reached 8 feet and its length reached 25 feet. It was, without a doubt, a monstrosity worth fearing. In its current state, its power could hardly be called strong, but that was only because it had yet to start cultivating.
Its base strength was actually near the level of a foundation establishment human. Whether that was because of Zhou Fan's divinity or the cosmic dao was yet to be tested.
Zhou Fan looked at the beast in front of him as it slowly gained consciousness. At first, it looked at him confusedly. All of a sudden, it roared as loud as it could directly in front of his face. It didn't sound like the roar of a normal animal, but the roar of an angry giant.
Seeing that his roar didn't affect Zhou Fan, the beast attempted to leap towards him and bite his head off. As it flew towards him, Zhou Fan observed its new body. Instead of the dirt-like color with green veins, it could now be described as a green tiger. It had green fur and black stripes on its body.
Once the tiger got close enough, Zhou Fan moved his head to the left a fair amount. That caused the bite to miss, but the tiger didn't give up. With its head over Zhou Fan's shoulder, it tried to swing its head down and head bump Zhou Fan.
Once again, Zhou Fan dodged his move, this time by side stepping to the right, barely dodging the tigers blow.
Now, with Zhou Fan below the tiger body, the tiger jumped up 20 feet and fell back down with all four of its paws ready to land on Zhou Fan.
Like the past two times, Zhou Fan side stepped to the right and caused the tiger to hit the hard mountain top. Since the mountain was in a world with Zhou Fan's mortal dao, it was much stronger than the tiger, causing the tiger to splatter onto it painfully.
Luckily, it hadn't been moving with too much force. After a moment, it got back up and snarled at Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan was having fun playing with the aggressive tiger. It had been a while since something was so naturally aggressive.
As the tiger jumped towards him to attack again, he perfectly dodged the attack and sliced off half of one of its nails with his finger nails. The tiger didn't notice at first since the process was so smooth, but before it could attack again, it felt a slight pain in his right front paw.
As it held it up to look at it and noticed its missing nail, it roared at Zhou Fan louder than the first time. However, the roar was tinged with a slight bit of wariness.
That didn't stop it from attacking as it charged forwards in Zhou Fans direction. It reached him in a moment and seemed to attack him with a right paw swipe. Just as Zhou Fan was about to dodge it, however, the tiger stopped its attack and flipped around, attacking Zhou Fan from a different direction with one of its back paws.
Naturally, Zhou Fan saw it and ducked down, not forgetting to take another half of a different nail again.
The process repeated itself, with the tiger realizing it was missing a claw and roaring in rage.
The next time it attacked, Zhou Fan slapped away its paw and punched it in the chest, sending it flying backwards. Of course, he had held his strength back immensely. Still, the tiger struggled to get up. Finally, it was showing hints of fear.
Seeing the thought of giving up flashing past its eyes, Zhou Fan secretly increased its cultivation.
All of a sudden, the tiger felt an increase in strength that it couldn't describe even if it could speak. It went from an abnormally strong mortal tiger, to an abnormally strong tenth level core formation tiger.
It seemed to let out a little chuckle of arrogance as it once again charged towards Zhou Fan, this time simply attacking with a clumsy paw attack. This attack, however, was thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of times stronger and faster than his other attacks.
To its utter shock, the tiger watched as Zhou Fan once again dodged its attack, taking another two nails with him. The tiger, now down to 16 nails, suddenly felt much less arrogant and proud. Due to its high intelligence, it managed to realize that Zhou Fan was simply playing with it, not even taking it seriously.
It lowered its head and tried to limp off of the mountain top, but Zhou Fan didn't plan on letting him leave.
"Where do you think you're going fatso." Zhou Fan said, somewhat imitating the chicken.
Although it couldn't understand English, the tiger was able to feel the intent behind Zhou Fan's words.
Chapter 183: Second - 183
Hearing Zhou Fan's words, the tiger was conflicted. It was feeling both an immense amount of rage and an immense amount of anger.
Turning its head around, the tiger let out an extremely loud roar of rage. However, it did not fully turn around and run towards Zhou Fan.
Unwillingly, the tiger began to sprint towards the edge of the mountain top as fast as it could in order to get away from Zhou Fan.
Watching it try and leave, Zhou Fan couldn't help but feel disappointed. He didn't expect the tiger to give up already.
Since he was making his exit, Zhou Fan felt that he should at least give him a goodbye gift. Just as the green tiger made it to the edge of the flat mountain top, Zhou Fan appeared behind it and gave its behind a great kick, sending it flying to the distance.
By the time it landed, it would be halfway around the world. Zhou Fan did make sure it wouldn't die, however.
Since he was done with the tiger, Zhou Fan planned on leaving the planet. He also planned on postponing any more life creation experiments. It simply wasn't as fun or interesting as he had hoped it would be.
The life created by divinity seemed to be quite strong, but it still couldn't peak Zhou Fans interest. He didn't know how talented the tiger was, but he assumed that he would be able to at least reach the space shattering or the void traversing realm. Otherwise, it would really be an insult to him.
Regardless, it would likely die or be killed long before Zhou Fan ever saw him again. Luckily, he hadn't exactly left a good impression.
Zhou Fan flew out of the planet and left the galaxy it was in. He even began to leave the silver river galaxy cluster. After spending a fair amount of time playing around, it was time to go back to his spot in the middle of the three galaxy clusters and once again breakthrough.
On his way back, he began to think about how exhausting freedom is. He had to make all of his decisions for himself and couldn't simply go with the flow. Also, most of what he did didn't make too much of a difference. Of course, something like creating the Zhou World and giving life to so many planets was surely important, but he could have done it at any time and not much would have changed.
Even now, he could take a million year nap and nothing would change. In fact, even a hundred million year nap wasn't ridiculous.
'Having so many possibilities to choose from is truly exhausting.'
After a while, Zhou Fan reached his old spot. Naturally, nothing had changed. It would be really weird if something did change.
Zhou Fan sat down, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes.
---------------------
Ten million years later, Zhou Fan reached the halfway point.
'This is getting ridiculous.' He said to himself. He truly couldn't fathom how much time he was starting to spend in seclusion. How much longer would it be until he was spending a billion or a trillion years in seclusion at once.
It was hard for him to even think of how the universe would change in that time. Perhaps if he waited a trillion years now, there would be people in the inner world realm. As for the god realm, it was simply impossible.
Unless they had the same level of talent and had an affinity and divine physique similar to Zhou Fans, they would never be able to. Their entire cultivation journey had been laid out by Zhou Fan and they had never even experienced the difficulty of pioneering a new realm.
Even if they did reach god realm, trying to get to the 2nd level while Zhou Fan is on the first would be like going from level one difficulty to level 1,000,000,000 difficulty in an instant. They wouldn't even know where to start.
Even if they could magically find a way to go past Zhou Fan, the cultivation difficulty would go from walking down a road to building it.
In the end, it was better left to the professionals, or the professional.
After shaking his head to clear his mind, Zhou Fan continued cultivating.
----------------------------
Another ten million years later, Zhou Fan felt himself breaking through to the 2nd level of the god realm.
As he did, he felt his overall strength and his divinity's strength increase. It not only increased in amount in proportion to his Qi, but it became purer and more condensed. Zhou Fan assumed that this meant his divinity's effects would be better. If he made the green tiger now, it may have the strength of a foundation establishment cultivator from the moment it's born.
Of course, that was without Zhou Fans interference and simply letting it be born with only divinity and the cosmic dao. If he personally stepped in and changed its genes around like he had for the celestial race, it could be born with an even stronger strength.
The increase in divinity wasn't the only thing worth mentioning with his breakthrough. His overall strength and Qi increased by more than ten times in one go. He couldn't remember if he had ever had such an increase in strength from a single level. He would expect it, and even more, if he was breaking through a realm, but gaining so much strength from a single level was incredible.
Since he had just broken through, Zhou Fan didn't plan on immediately going back into seclusion. Twenty million years was simply too long to go without moving or doing anything. If he sat still and continued, he may actually turn into stone.
During his slight break, he planned on testing out his divinity more and trying to come up with more attacks, as well as delve into the arts such as formations, forging, arrays, and pills once again. It had been far too long since he had even thought of experimenting with those again. As for runes, he would slide some time in there for them.
