The birth of zero talents within the heavenborn race had been worrying to Heaven for a long time.
If a thousand years, or ten thousand years had passed before someone with talent was born, then he could understand it, or at least accept it.
However, it had been much more than ten thousand, or even a hundred thousands years since the heavenborn race was created.
After a certain amount of time, Heaven began to feel that either his luck was the worst in the entire universe, or there was something wrong with the genetics of the heavenborn race.
Therefore, hoping that his luck wasn't that bad, heaven began to search for anything in the heavenborns genetics that prevented them from giving birth to those with talent.
Unfortunately, even after searching through every individual gene with all his might, he was unable to find any issue with the heavenborns races genetics.
In the end, he sighed with resignation and began to walk towards the edge of the galaxy. Since he was unable to find any issues, he needed to go talk to the big boss in charge.
On his way, he remembered to grab a heavenborn so that Zhou Fan could see the full genetics.
The heavenborn remained alive, but in a sleeping state.
It didn't take long for heaven to reach the edge of the universe and knock on Zhou Fan's shack door.
"Who is it?" Zhou Fan jokingly asked before unlocking the door with Qi.
As heaven entered, he saw Zhou Fan sitting on the floor, surrounded by an endless number of papers and scrolls that seemed to fill the room up to his chest.
"Sorry about the mess, my spatial pocket was getting too messy with all of the papers, so I had to leave some of them out." He said as he waved his hand and put them in his spatial pocket.
"Is something wrong?" Zhou Fan asked.
"Yes. The heavenborn race has still not produced a talent like Tian Ren after so long. I was going to ask if you could take a look at their genetics and see if I did something wrong." Heaven answered.
Heaven then exited the shack and came back in with the body of a heavenborn.
"Here." Heaven said as he handed the heavenborn to Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan covered the heavenborn in his Qi and had him float in front of him as he looked over the heavenborn with his divine sense.
After a preliminary examination, he used his understanding of creation to help him out some more.
Before long, he was able to spot the issue.
"I almost forgot that you have never seen the genetics of a human. That is what I had based the celestial race upon, only making slight changes to enhance the genes that made humans so great and changing the appearance. Since you had no such reference point, you ended up removing the most important genes in all living things." Zhou Fan said as he looked at heaven.
"It is this tiny gene that allows all living things to be born with infinite potential and talent." Zhou Fan said as he created a gene and showed it to heaven.
"While the gene may sound powerful, it is essentially useless on its own. Everything needs to be connected and resonate in order to connect living things with talent. By removing such a gene from the equation, you have limited the potential of the heavenborn race." Zhou Fan explained, taking the opportunity to teach heaven something.
"In simpler terms, no Heavenborn is able to have talent surpassing that of Tian Rens without this gene. Go ahead and fix that." Zhou Fan said, shooing heaven away before he could respond along with the heavenborn.
As heaven was about to say thank you, the door closed.
'Well, at least it wasn't bad luck.' Heaven said to himself as he walked back to the heaven world, Heavenborn in tow.
It wasn't long before the heavenborn race was changed. It would still be a bit longer before any super talents were born, but heaven was willing to wait knowing that it was going to happen.
In the meantime, he turned his gaze back to the 5 new races.
Now, they were developing their first form of government, which was really just a king ruling over people deemed lesser, but everyone started somewhere.
After a long period of development, they would have overthrowings and democracy, until cultivation became much bigger and took over the world.
As for now, it was still in its starting stages of development. The strongest person of most races was at the first level of the foundation establishment stage.
While they followed a general trend, one could easily see the differences in races. The demons were extremely cruel, while the elves were extremely kind.
The barbarians were the ones who believed that strength decided all, despite the importance of cultivation being relatively low to them. Once they discovered body cultivation, that would all change pretty quickly.
As for the spirit race, they barely had a government at all. It was more like a super strong spirit commanding a few others every now and then, but most were roaming around the world with little intelligence.
Finally, the fiendcelestial race. They had reached their limit of 3000 despite the low birth rate.
While fights were common, they were never fatal. They all lived together between a mountain range that fully surrounded them, and they were much more advanced than any of the other races.
The strongest member of the fiendcelestial race was at the 10th level of foundation establishment, but he was one of the few that discovered the usefulness of cultivation first.
As they had skipped the tyranny era and the major war era due to low numbers, the fiendcelestials were all friendly and welcoming, despite their slightly evil looking appearances.
Heaven had his eye on one fiendcelestial in particular. He seemed to have incredible talent in just about everything cultivation wise.
It took a little bit, but heaven was able to recall his name.
'It was Pangu, right?'
The fiendcelestial named pangu had actually been born later than all of the other fiendcelestials.
However, despite being only seven years old and starting cultivation just a month ago, he had managed to reach the first level of the foundation establishment realm.
Due to everything Zhou Fan had set up within the mortal dao, such a speed of advancement had never been seen before in heavens galaxy.
Speaking of setting up things within the mortal dao, Zhou Fan was actually starting to work on an outline for cultivation.
As it currently is, cultivation is unpredictable and it was hard to tell if reaching the foundation establishment realm in a month was even impressive.
Therefore, he was setting up the outline.
By the time he was done, everyone would keep their current cultivations, but future cultivation would be very different.
This was the first step to setting up a universal consciousness. Bringing order to the most important thing in the universe, cultivation.
Otherwise, unpredictable changes would occur that would likely end up causing mass destruction.
Once he was finished, the first era of true cultivation would be unleashed upon the universe. Before that, he would need to test it out on heavens galaxy.
Naturally, nobody else knew about such changes happening. Even heaven himself had ended up being kept in the dark. Zhou Fan decided to only tell him once the outline was actually complete as he had no idea how long such a thing would take.
For the next five years, Heaven continued to watch the five races develop, while still keeping an eye on the heavenborn race and the beast race.
In those five years, not much had happened with the races as a whole, but Heaven was still paying attention to pangu.
Now, Pangu had reached the age of 12. Just a year ago, he had decided to use an axe as his main weapon. Heaven felt that it was weird that he didn't choose a sword like most people, but he felt that he must have had his reasons.
In those five years, pangu had also reached the 5th level of the nascent soul realm, once again proving the chaotic state of the current path of cultivation.
Even at a glance, Zhou Fan could tell that his talent was higher than Anna's from long ago, yet he took much longer than her to cultivate.
It was as if cultivation speed was based on pure chance with little regard to talent.
Zhou Fan had also taken an interest in pangu, but it was mostly to help him progress in his building of the outline of cultivation.
Pangu could be used as a reference for extremely talented cultivators. Of course, the speed of cultivation would be nowhere near the same.
Zhou Fan felt that reaching such a high level in only five years was a little unnatural for multiple reasons.
In order to bring order to cultivation, he would need to make it slow and steady for everyone, with talented people only being somewhat faster than everyone else, but not reaching the nascent soul realm in five years fast.
The exact speed would have to be decided later, but the observation of Pangu would surely help.
After another 5 years, Pangu was able to break into the 10th level of the soul formation realm.
According to the previous experiences, the difficulty of cultivation would increase greatly and the journey from void traversing and upwards would be hundreds of thousands of times longer.
This was the prime example of what Zhou Fan wanted to avoid. From nascent soul to the tenth level of the soul formation realm in just five years was ridiculous.
At that point, Zhou Fan stopped paying attention to pangu. Any further growth would take extremely long and he wanted to focus his efforts on fixing cultivation.
Heaven also stopped paying much attention to pangu, as well as the rest of the races. He knew that getting a space shattering cultivator would take an extremely long time and he could do many more things instead of lazily watching.
He didn't have that much interest in pangu anyway.
'How could someone like him possibly reach the same level as me.' Heaven thought to himself.
As everyone focused on their own things, ten thousand years passed quickly. Even now, none of the five races had a space shattering realm cultivator. Pangu was the closest at the 7th level of void traversing, and the other 4 races all had someone at the 3rd or 4th level.
Within the final world, Tian Ren and Bi Chong had started to slowly expand their territories after fully occupying them. They were going so slow that it would take a million years for them to occupy another ten percent of the world, but they were satisfied knowing that progress was taking place.
Both Bi Chong and Tian Ren were at the 10th level of the space shattering realm. Despite the much lower requirements to reach the lesser dao creation realm, it was still no easy feat at all. It would likely take them at least 500,000 years.
Zhou Fan and heaven were still doing their own things, hardly affecting much on the surface, but below it, major changes were brewing.
Unknown to anyone besides Zhou Fan himself, the greatest change that had ever happened since the birth of the universe and the birth of Zhou Fan was about to finish.
Naturally, it was caused by Zhou Fan's outline of cultivation. For millions of years, the universe and cultivation itself had been in a chaotic state with little order.
The universe had some order due to the cosmic dao, but it rarely changed anything whatsoever.
As for cultivation, Zhou Fan was the first one to embark upon it, and he was going to be the first to change it.
With his knowledge of cultivation, the universe would experience great change. Even Zhou Fan was unaware of how big that change may be.
Finally, the Chaos era was ending.
