Chapter 207: Heaven - 207
The second planet was so similar to a wasteland that Zhou Fan had to use his divine sense to find any living creatures. The only animal level race was a large group of mole-like animals deep below the surface.
They survived off of the sole body of water on the entire planet. Just using his divine sense, he was able to find out everything about the mole like creatures and their home.
The mole-like creatures were surprisingly intelligent for non-humanoid creatures. They had managed to develop basic architecture skills.
The mole-like creatures lived in individual caves that were extremely small, but they seemed to be contained to a certain area solely for housing.
The cave they lived in gave Zhou Fan a slight sense of deja vu. It seemed quite similar to the caves back on earth that contained the many races.
On the ceiling of the cave was not one big crystal, but a bunch of small, yellow rocks that glowed.
After processing the rest of the information, Zhou Fan took his divine sense off of the mole-like creature's cave.
In just a moment, he developed a plan to bring life to the entire universe. First however, he would deal with the mini consciousness.
Zhou Fan flew outside the edge of the galaxy and stood above it. It was hard to tell even for him, but there was a clear dome of light orange covering the entire galaxy.
First, Zhou Fan connected to that dome, which was his mortal dao. Then, he split his own consciousness, or soul, into two. The two parts were not even, but the part that had been chipped off was about one percent of his consciousness.
If it had been split in two equal parts, Zhou Fan would likely die, or some other unforeseen event would happen. Regardless, he was not stupid enough to carelessly mess around with his consciousness.
If he wanted to test theories about it, he would use other people first.
Despite his high cultivation, Zhou Fan felt an immense amount of pain as the consciousness was cut off. Luckily, he had become strong enough to heal most wounds to his soul without consequence.
Fighting through the pain, Zhou Fan grabbed the cut off part of his consciousness and wrapped it in his Qi, preventing it from dissipating.
He kept it in a non moving state until the wound to his soul had been fully healed. Luckily, there was no issue and he could continue on as normal.
Zhou Fan closely examined the part of consciousness in his hand. It was completely gray without any hint of another color.
Such a color was normal to Zhou Fan since it was based off of his Chaos Qi affinity, but he needed the small bit of consciousness to be completely wiped.
He mobilzed all of his power and instantly crushed the bit of will in the bit of consciousness, causing a bit more pain to him, but not as much as last time.
Next, he wiped the fragments' memories, intelligence, and every other thing about it related to Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan luckily did not lose any memories or anything. The bit of consciousness was so small that his mind had no issue ignoring the fact that it was gone, except for the pain.
Once Zhou Fan was done clearing the bit of his consciousness, it became a completely white color without any sort of blemishes. It was by far the purest white Zhou Fan had ever seen.
Although it may not work on a universal scale, cutting off a bit of his consciousness would be enough to make a mini consciousness that covered a galaxy.
Still holding the white consciousness, Zhou Fan imprinted a seal onto it. The seal was a completely gray circle, representing Zhou Fan. It did not affect the white consciousness in any way besides giving Zhou Fan complete control over it.
Next, Zhou Fan was going to try and separate the mortal dao covering the galaxy from the rest of his mortal dao. That would cause the chain between all the areas of his mortal dao to be broken, but they would heal in an instant.
It was a momentary struggle, but Zhou Fan was able to easily cut off the section of mortal dao from the rest once he understood what he needed to do. The next part was the real challenge.
Zhou Fan was planning to make the disconnected section of his mortal dao have a sub owner. That sub owner would be the white soul.
It would have complete control over the mortal dao, minus a very small amount of features.
1. It wouldn't be able to change the mortal dao's size. That meant that it could not expand or shrink the mortal dao like Zhou Fan could.
2. Its powers could be taken away by Zhou Fan in a single instant.
Those were the main and most important differences in control between the white soul and Zhou Fan.
In order to appoint the white soul as a sub owner, it needed some sort of knowledge or intelligence. Since Zhou Fan had been covering it in Qi, it had not experienced anything at all.
Zhou Fan gathered his power over the section of the mortal dao into a circle with an empty space in the middle. He then threw the white soul into the empty spot.
In an instant, the slight orange glow of the mortal dao shined bright and became visible to anything or anyone looking at it.
As it glowed, Zhou Fan stepped back into the galaxy and the mortal dao. Just a second after entering, a small white glow about the shape of a human shined in front of Zhou Fan.
It seemed to imitate his appearance.
Then, it suddenly spoke.
"You... Are you my father." It said in words no language covered.
Zhou Fan managed to understand the light despite that.
"I suppose I am." He said in english.
"And who am I?" It asked in no language.
"That makes you my child. Does it not?"
"Yes..... But who am I?"
That question made Zhou Fan think for a moment. He was no newcomer to making names.
"You are....." Zhou Fan said, contemplating a name.
"Heaven."
Chapter 208: Heaven's Form - 208
Heaven stood there, floating, its form changing every single second. At one point, it seemed like a drop of water that had splattered on the ground, and at another, it had a human-like form.
Zhou Fan watched as it stood there in silence. After almost an entire minute, heaven's form stopped changing.
It had settled into a somewhat familiar form. It had taken the form of an eye. The eye's color was blue, and it was huge. It would be about the size of Zhou Fan if it was vertical instead of horizontal.
"What do you think of my form father?" The eye asked.
Zhou Fan paused for a moment after hearing the question.
"To be honest. Kind of weird." He said honestly.
In just a moment, the entire scene turned awkward.
"Umm... I can change it if you really don't like it." Heaven said.
"No no. It's only weird because you're calling me father." Zhou Fan said while waving his hands.
"Here." Zhou Fan said as he pointed his finger towards heaven.
Next to heaven, a human body appeared. It wasn't made up of only living matter, but also some extremely strong materials that Zhou Fan threw together in an instant.
"What's that?" Heaven asked.
"A body for you. Only your soul form is an eye. You are yet to have a body form. This can be your body until you grow up. We can change it then." Zhou Fan explained.
"Alright. How do I get in?" Heaven asked.
"Just walk into it. You should feel something reach out towards you. Grab it when you feel it." Zhou Fan explained.
"The combination of your body and soul will also birth a brain. It won't have much use to you besides helping you control the body since you are already so powerful in soul form. But you will need to make sure it doesn't accidentally get harmed or you will be injured."
"Ok." Heaven said before he went inside of the body.
Zhou Fan watched closely as it happened. He wanted to make sure he understood everything about a new soul connecting to a body as well as possible.
As expected, heaven connected to the body smoothly and formed a brain. Once the body opened its eyes, Zhou Fan felt it was much more full of life.
"Hello again father." Heaven said.
Zhou Fan nodded before he decided to get down to business.
"Do you know why you were created?" He asked.
"No. I don't." Heaven answered.
"You were born to watch over and control this section of the mortal dao." Zhou Fan said. "You will ensure the development of all life and strive to keep this galaxy intact."
Heaven listened on patiently.
"You will almost never directly interfere, but you will make sure that nothing too evil or destructive plans to take over the galaxy. Or at least, you will do what you can without directly interfering." Zhou Fan explained.
Before he could continue further, heaven spoke.
"How would I do any of that without directly interfering?" Heaven asked.
"Good question." Zhou Fan said. "There are some ways to do it, but the most likely to succeed would be to create someone special. A hero specifically."
"You would help them chance upon powerful weapons or pills, and subtly help them speed up their cultivation as much as possible." He explained.
"However, that may not always be enough. Perhaps the leader of the evil is too powerful or talented. Then, you will give him bad luck and make sure he doesn't have too many good encounters."
Heaven interrupted again. "And what if that doesn't work?"
"If even that doesn't work, I suppose it would be a situation you cannot deal with. While you are not evil yourself, you cannot simply go around purging all evil. Evil is necessary sometimes." Zhou Fan explained.
"If nothing else works, I will look over the situation personally and decide what to do next." He said.
"Wait. You said I should almost never use direct power to influence anything. In what case should I if even evil winning doesn't constitute it?" Heaven asked.
"The only situations you should use direct power in are, when someone directly challenges you and wants to destroy you, or when they have the ability to destroy nearly everything and plan on doing it." He said, making sure that heaven heard him.
Although there would always be unforeseen situations, these were the most likely and important ones to understand.
"I understand father." Heaven said. "But what is my power?" He asked.
"That would depend on your affinity." Zhou Fan answered. "Your power, or cultivation, will depend on the strength of those within the area you control and, of course, me."
Heaven's power would change depending on the number of people in each cultivation realm and the power that Zhou Fan deemed him necessary to have. There was a possibility that a single cultivator could gain strength above heaven since heavens power increase wouldn't be that much from one person, but such a situation was unlikely.
As of now, heaven's power depended solely upon the power that Zhou Fan gave him. His current power was at the 1st level of the inner world realm.
It would be higher if Zhou Fan hadn't completely erased everything off of the fragment of his soul, but since he did, the fragments' cultivation was also completely erased.
Before he spoke further, Zhou Fan checked heavens affinity. It wasn't the same as Zhou Fans since, once again, he erased everything off of the soul fragment.
"Your affinity is lightning, life, and death." Zhou Fan said.
Heaven simply nodded as he didn't have much understanding of what lightning, life, and death were.
"Before I set you off on your own, I will explain some things and help you understand what you need to do to succeed." Zhou Fan said.
Zhou Fan then grabbed heaven by one of his arms and teleported above the first planet. Although heaven's power was enough to almost instantly travel around a single galaxy, Zhou Fan still dragged him around.
This planet should be pretty easy. You just need to give it some life rain and introduce cultivation to the life on the planets.
Your first goal should be to develop a humanoid or very intelligent species
