Chapter 317: Mortal Dao Projection - 317
Zhou Fan, like he did with the rats, used his divine sense to find the most talented cats, give them temporary intelligence, guide them to using the technique, and created a place where they would feel the urge to cultivate until they reached a certain realm.
He then left the planet and went around the galaxy cluster looking for more. After around 5 years, he had repeated the process with almost 5,000 planets.
There were around 100,000 galaxies in the silver river galaxy cluster. Since Zhou Fan had helped almost 5,000 planets, that meant he had gone to almost 5,000 galaxies.
At first, his requirements were stricter, but he loosened them as time passed. That was the reason that so many planets had been affected.
Next, Zhou Fan wanted to do the same thing to the other three galaxy clusters.
However, instead of traveling there himself, he wanted to try a new idea that he had thought of.
Zhou Fan crossed his legs while floating in space and focused his mind on his mortal dao. As he connected with it, he felt all of the galaxies and planets within it.
Zhou Fan's idea was to create some sort of projection of himself in those areas. Like that, he would be able to affect all 3 galaxy clusters from anywhere.
Zhou Fan picked a planet that fulfilled his requirements and focused on it, wiping thoughts of all the other places out of his mind.
He then focused on the peak of the tallest mountain. It was as if he was seeing the world through a puddle of water.
Zhou Fan heavily focused in an attempt to move his mind to that mountain. He was trying to use the mortal dao's power to create a temporary body for himself that he could split his mind with.
The mortal dao's power reacted many times, but creating the form from so far away was extremely difficult.
'I couldn't have done this at the god realm.' Zhou Fan thought to himself before immediately wiping the thought from his mind so that he could focus.
After around ten thousand attempts, Zhou Fan successfully created a temporary body. It was much weaker than his normal self, equivalent to him at the inner world realm, but it would do for his purposes.
The body seemed like it was made of orange glass or energy. It was see-through, and at certain times some parts lost its form.
After creating the body, Zhou Fan easily split his attention and focused a bit of his thoughts on the body.
All of a sudden, a part of his vision changed. It was as if the part of him that had been looking in the third person view moved to the first person view.
Although it was slightly awkward, Zhou Fan managed to control both of his bodies at once. Unfortunately, the orange body was not able to hold on for long due to his power.
Zhou Fan quickly did what he needed to do on the world, just in time before the body broke down.
Zhou Fan's mind was once again one. Back in his body, he began to heavily pant.
'Even with all of my immense power, it seems I can still struggle.' Zhou Fan laughed to himself.
He quite enjoyed not being able to easily and instantly do something. Over the next few years, Zhou Fan repeated the same thing with all of the suitable planets in the three galaxy clusters.
It took him twenty years due to its difficulty, but as time had passed, Zhou Fan was much more proficient with the ability compared to his first attempt.
The body was still unstable and weak, but it could be formed with more ease and would last longer.
With that done, Zhou Fan floated through space as he considered his next actions. All of the life he was concerned with was dealt with for now.
Therefore, as far as Zhou Fan was concerned, there were two options.
One, go beyond the three galaxy clusters. There was much more to the universe, and he could now reach it within a reasonable amount of time. He did not know all of the things in the universe. Perhaps the three galaxy clusters were the most calm and normal part of the universe. He would not know until he found out himself.
Two, do something to increase his strength or experiment. This idea was more appealing to Zhou Fan. That was because he had an idea that he wanted to try out.
Zhou Fan decided to do the second option in order to fulfill his idea, and revisit the first option later.
In the silver river galaxy, Zhou Fan looked for a useless galaxy. A useless galaxy would be a small one with no planets currently capable of housing life.
Galaxies like that were rare in theory, but there were around a hundred that perfectly fit the description.
Zhou Fan found the closest one and went over to it. The galaxy was similar to the Zhou Galaxy with its purple color, but it was quite small and feeble.
Zhou Fan quickly made his way to the black hole. He quickly sealed off that section as it was not worth messing with anything related to the cosmic dao.
Next, Zhou Fan mapped out the entire galaxy on a fairly big circular piece of paper. The paper was as big as an average house of a mortal.
It did not take Zhou Fan long. Although the galaxy was not covered in his mortal dao since it did not have a planet capable of having life, that actually made Zhou Fan more comfortable.
Being around Chaos Qi always made Zhou Fan feel calmer and more relaxed. Other Qi's weren't annoying to be around, but they weren't pleasant either.
With his divine sense, the map of the galaxy was fully drawn. Zhou Fan paid attention to every celestial body. Not only the stars and planets, but even comets and asteroids. There was nothing really unusual in the small galaxy.
With the map in hand, Zhou Fan began his immensely difficult calculations.
Chapter 318: Galactic Array - 318
When it comes to array making, math is necessary. Every single angle and line needed to be completely calculated, from the width and density to the length.
Everything needed to fit together almost perfectly in order to get a satisfactory product. What Zhou Fan was doing was making an array.
A giant array. An array the size of a galaxy, powered by a galaxy, with the power of a galaxy, or even exceeding it if Zhou Fan did well.
Zhou Fan spent an entire year perfecting the array plan. Not only was he inventing an entirely new array, but it was also an unprecidentaly huge one.
While formations and arrays were very similar in terms of usage, the difference could be clearly seen now. Formations could not get very big. Even if Zhou Fan tried his hardest over a thousand years, he may only be able to create one the size of a house or a mansion.
An array, in comparison, could be as big as the creator's power would allow. If everything went well and Zhou Fan felt it could be bigger, he could also connect the array to other galaxies.
With the perfected array in hand, Zhou Fan began to go around the galaxy, leaving lines of Qi, among other things, in order to build the array. Planets, stars, and more planets were connected and interwoven by lines.
Everything in the galaxy had its own purpose. As Zhou Fan continued working, his mind seemed to fade and he found himself in a trance. As he set the array, it seemed as if he was dancing with the universe itself.
Every single movement was perfect, and by the time Zhou Fan noticed the passage of time, the array was finished.
'How pleasant.' Zhou Fan thought to himself as he looked below.
The entire galaxy was filled with lines, each serving their own purpose. In the center, four thick black lines seemed as if they were cut short just shy of the area where the black hole was sealed.
Although Zhou Fan didn't initially plan to incorporate the black hole, he had changed the plan in his immersed state.
Zhou Fan unsealed the black hole, freeing it from its cage. Nothing changed besides the fact that the path was open.
Zhou Fan carefully drew lines connecting the four lines to the black hole. The black hole tried to react to something touching it by bursting out with a power, but Zhou Fan released a pressure that instantly calmed it down.
Back in the lesser dao creation realm, the black holes could be seen as a threat. In the inner world realm, an exploding black hole could possibly be a threat.
In the god realm, it was not impossible to be injured by the collision of multiple black holes if they were huge.
In the true god realm, however, black holes were essentially irrelevant.
Zhou Fan drew multiple lines on the surface of the black hole, adding it to the array. Zhou Fan was wary of the cosmic dao, but not wary to the point of purposely weakening his array in fear.
Soon, the galactic array was fully completed. Its purpose was to send out a concentrated beam from the center. The power, which would be equivalent to the power of an entire galaxy and more, would be quite the thing to witness.
Zhou Fan estimated that it would reach the 1st level of the god realm. That was because it would instantly use up all of the energy in the galaxy, turning it lifeless. The only thing left would be a weak black hole floating in space.
Of course, the array itself also increased the power.
Zhou Fan flew out of the galaxy and stood in a certain position. Once the array was activated, it would charge up for 3 seconds. Then, it would directly launch its power at Zhou Fan.
Already having the goal of being hit, Zhou Fan had put in a part of the array that would manage to condense the power from the galaxy into a human sized beam.
Zhou Fan stood in the perfect position and sent some of his Qi into the array from afar.
Looking at the galaxy, it seemed as if the light from the edges was being pulled inwards. As the light from the outer part of the galaxy reached the center in the first second, the light from the rest of the galaxy, excluding the black hole, also moved to the center in the second second.
Finally, during the third second, the black hole's power charged up. As soon as the third second passed, a beam that instantly broke through space traveled at a speed impossible for anyone in the universe besides Zhou Fan himself to comprehend.
Zhou Fan held his arms out as if he was going to give a large hug as the beam hit him. The Qi of the entire galaxy traveled through his body for an entire second before disappearing.
Zhou Fan let out a large sigh of comfort. He had never been hit with such a strong attack. It almost reached the second level of the god realm. Unfortunately, the price to pay for the attack was quite high.
The entire galaxy, excluding the black hole, turned to dust within the next 5 minutes.
Zhou Fan was satisfied.
He considered spending time creating an array combining three galaxies, but that would take an extremely long time, and the power would not increase that much. If he was lucky, it would reach the third level of the god realm.
He would have to move multiple galaxies, which requires more than a wave of a hand for even him, and design an array based off of the one he had already created.
To him, it would feel more like work than fun at that point.
'Besides, I'm really itching to go beyond the three galaxy clusters.' Zhou Fan thought. He wanted to take his time and make the most of the exploration of the universe, but it was time to explore the next nearby region.
Zhou Fan looked outside of the silver river galaxy at his destination.
