Chapter 315: True God Realm - 315
The butterfly, without any manipulation from Zhou Fan besides its creation, was already at the foundation establishment realm.
And that was without fully using the power of divinity. It was just a casual use.
The new divinity that Zhou Fan had was much better at creating and enhancing life compared to before. Overall, it had received major upgrades.
Zhou Fan destroyed the butterfly and moved on from divinity.
Next, he wanted to test his strength. He didn't plan on causing any wide scale destruction since there was no target.
Zhou Fan held out his palm and clenched his fist as hard as he could. Instantly, the space surrounding him shattered and all that remained was the final layer of space.
Zhou Fan looked closely and noticed that the final layer of space seemed to be shaking.
"That is a serious issue." He said aloud.
If he could already shake the final layer of space, then he may be able to break it without even using Chaos Qi in 2 or 3 more realms.
If he wanted to increase the power and durability of the space, then he needed to expand the influence of his mortal dao, but he was not sure how much the cosmic dao would let him do.
At the very least, there was no chance he could cover all three galaxy clusters and the space between them entirely.
Zhou Fan would do his best to expand his mortal dao and promote the growth of life, but it would take a lot of time to expand his mortal dao a major amount.
Next, Zhou Fan decided to think of a name for his new realm. Since it was not much of a change from the god realm, Zhou Fan considered naming it the supreme god realm, similar to the meridian rank.
After a moment of thinking, Zhou Fan decided against it. Getting to name a realm was not that common. Especially in recent years.
Zhou Fan decided to name the realm, the True God realm.
After he finished naming the realm, Zhou Fan flew away from his spot. The speed at which he flew was incomparable to before. Just by flying at his full speed, the space around him was shattered. It didn't reach the final layer, but a few layers were broken.
In 5 years, Zhou Fan arrived at the silver river galaxy cluster. The silver river galaxy cluster was the one that showed the least development. The Zhou Fan galaxy cluster contained the Zhou galaxy, while the tree-like galaxy cluster contained the Heaven galaxy. The best that the silver river galaxy cluster had was a planet full of plants.
Many of the galaxies in the silver river galaxy cluster were enshrouded by Zhou Fans mortal dao, but not many of them had much life.
Zhou Fan flew through the galaxy cluster at a high speed and looked around. Soon, he stumbled upon an unexpected location.
In front of him was an entire planet covered by worms. Half of them were mortals, but some had cultivation. Among them, there was a surprisingly high level cultivator. It was at the 10th level of the space shattering realm, and it seemed on the verge of advancing to the lesser dao creation realm.
The planet was by far the most advanced in the silver river galaxy cluster, comparable only to the plant world.
"Worms seem to be a common occurence nowadays. Is there something special about them?" Zhou Fan mumbled to himself.
He spent a few moments trying to remember the planet and if he had ever encountered it before.
After a moment, he had a realization.
'Isn't this where I first tested divinity long ago?' He thought to himself.
The memories were somewhat blurry, but he could recall imbuing a worm with divinity and discarding it. He also remembered that the planet had worm creatures on it due to his mortal dao long ago. It was one of the fastest planets at creating life.
It was no wonder that he felt that the worm seemed familiar. It contained traces of his divinity's influence. Now, it seemed to be undergoing an evolution of some sort, likely caused by his breakthrough and change in divinity.
It was currently in a glowing cocoon no bigger than a normal worm, but what came out would likely be one of the most advanced lifeforms in the universe.
Zhou Fan did not set foot on the planet as it was literally covered by worms that had evolved to survive with only air and Qi.
Zhou Fan soon flew away from the planet. His goal was to help contribute to the growth of life, not interfere with already flourishing life. Who knew, soon, the worms might begin conquering other planets or their entire galaxy.
Life in the Heaven galaxy didn't often leave the planets due to the size of the planets and how far away others would be.
Heaven had moved the planets he was not using to the outer edges of the galaxy, which helped to keep cultivators on the planets.
In comparison, the worms were about to have a lesser dao creation realm cultivator. The worm would be able to easily move throughout the galaxy if it wanted to.
Zhou Fan flew out of the galaxy and continued observing the galaxies of the silver river galaxy cluster. He had obviously lowered his speed in order to not destroy anything.
Soon, Zhou Fan arrived at the center of the galaxy cluster. There, a high concentration of galaxies were slowly moving inward. Zhou Fan was tempted to go in and see how powerful he was in comparison to the center of galaxy clusters, but he decided against it soon.
'No point in risking my life for something I will inevitably surpass.' He thought.
He continued to fly around before finally deciding on a suitable planet. It had minor signs of life, but was still one of the worst planets in the galaxy cluster that had life.
Zhou Fan did not plan on influencing things on a galactic scale. He had already been there and done that with the Heaven galaxy.
Chapter 316: Rats and Cats - 316
Zhou Fan descended to the planet's surface. He floated a few feet above the ground and sent out his divine sense. He instantly got all of the information he needed.
'The most advanced lifeforms here are rat-like creatures.' He thought to himself.
This rat species usually had gray fur with spots of different colors. Some had red spots, while some had yellow spots, and others had green spots. There were also a few with rarer colors.
Zhou Fan guessed that it was related to their affinity, and upon examination, he was correct. Those with brown spots had an earth affinity. Those with blue spots had a water affinity, and so on.
Some interesting ones that Zhou Fan found were two rats with space-like spots. The spots were deep blue with white dots. They had a space affinity.
Upon further examination, Zhou Fan found that the rats would only have one color or design no matter how many affinities they had. It seemed the most compatible affinity would show as a color.
The strongest rat was only at the earlier levels of the foundation establishment realm. In other words, it could be considered a mortal planet.
Even earth when Zhou Fan was young was a stronger force in terms of overall combat ability thanks to weapons and higher intelligence.
It didn't take long for Zhou Fan to decide to make the rat race the greatest race of the planet. The other species would follow later.
Zhou Fan's divine sense quickly checked the talent of all the rats on the planet and brought the most talented hundred to him. Unsurprisingly, the two rats with a space affinity were present.
There was no rat with a particularly high talent, but one had king rank meridians. It really wasn't much, but it would at least lay the foundation for the more talented ones to come after.
Although beasts didn't technically need a cultivation technique to cultivate, it was much more efficient if they had one.
Zhou Fan used the technique that he had specially created for beasts, supreme beasts, and other non-humanoid creatures, the technique that all beasts throughout the universe used to cultivate, much like the humanoid species used Zhou Fans technique.
The beast technique was just the counterpart to Zhou Fan's cultivation technique, so there was no difference in effectiveness.
Although there was once a surge of other cultivation techniques on the Zhou world, it was quickly realized how inferior they were in every possible way and they were no longer used.
Zhou Fan didn't need to directly impart the cultivation technique since all beings in his mortal dao would automatically have it in their minds, but he needed to temporarily give the rats higher intelligence so that they could actually use it.
Usually, they would have slowly evolved to be able to understand and use the technique, but Zhou Fan was skipping that step. Once they grew in power, their descendants would have higher intelligence. Soon, the entire rat-like race would naturally understand and be able to use the technique.
Zhou Fan raised the rats' intelligence and focused their thoughts to the technique in their minds rather than the world which they had previously unthinkingly lived in.
At about the same time, all of the rats understood the technique. Zhou Fan took away their intelligence and threw them in a man made cave he had quickly created.
In that cave, due to many arrays, the urge to cultivate overwhelmed them. Zhou Fan created a tunnel in the cave that led to the outside, but the rats would continue to non-stop cultivate until they reached at least the nascent soul realm. Only then would they have a good amount of intelligence, which they needed to grow as a species.
After creating the cave and the tunnel, Zhou Fan set off to look for another planet. The rats were set to grow at a much faster pace due to Zhou Fan's casual intervention. Doing any more for them would require personally sculpting their growth, and Zhou Fan had enough fun with the Zhou world and the Heaven galaxy.
Zhou Fan wandered around the galaxy cluster for a while before finding another planet similar to the rat world. Instead of rats being the most advanced lifeform, cats were.
'If they ever meet, will they be natural enemies?' Zhou Fan thought to himself as he landed on a mountain.
Below the mountain was the most dense group of cats. While the cats were much more intelligent than the rats, they were still in the stage of animal intelligence. Cultivating wasn't something they understood.
As a result, the strongest cat in the world was only in the middle levels of the foundation establishment realm. Like the strongest rat from before, it had naturally grown stronger by absorbing the Qi unconsciously. It was a feature that Zhou Fan was a little jealous of.
Of course, he could probably figure out a way to give himself that feature, but there were a few reasons he did not.
First, the human body was not naturally suitable for such a thing. Although Zhou Fan's body, mind, and soul had far surpassed what could be described as human, his foundation's blueprint was the same. His meridians were as well.
Secondly, it would be an annoying amount of work. He would have to mess with life concepts and creation techniques. It would probably take millions of years if he wanted to permanently alter his body so that he could absorb Qi naturally.
Finally, it would have a very tiny effect. The effectiveness of naturally absorbing Qi to absorbing Qi when cultivating was around 1 to 100. In other words, a hundred million years of floating around doing nothing would be equal to a million years of actual cultivation. There would also be no boost while cultivating.
Although small things could add up to help, it was ridiculously unnecessary. Zhou Fan rarely went a long time without cultivating anyway.
Zhou Fan stopped thinking about altering his body, which had remained fairly similar to how it was since he turned 100 or so, and focused on the cats.
