Chapter 320: Purple Planet - 320
After staring at the purple ball for a while, Zhou Fan decided to not go anywhere near it. He was not sure of its exact power, but he could sense that it was somewhere in the early levels of the true god realm.
He didn't think that it had the ability to kill him, but there was a good chance that it could injure him.
Along with that, there was likely nothing interesting about it besides what it was made of. Everything else in its vicinity had already been reduced to particles.
Zhou Fan added the purple ball to his mental map of the purple star sea and continued to wander around. His curiosity had been fulfilled, so he began to more thoroughly comb through the area.
After around 50 years, Zhou Fan had seen every part of the purple star sea. he had made a complete map in his mind, and could create a physical copy at any time.
The purple star sea consisted of an uncountable number of stars, the majority of which were purple.
There were also around 50 galaxies across the entire thing, which also meant 50 black holes. On average, the galaxies were bigger than 99% of the galaxies in the Zhou superclusters galaxy clusters, but they weren't exceedingly huge.
The 50 galaxies were mostly filled with stars, but there were also exactly 10 planets in each galaxy.
That meant that, across the entire purple star sea, there were only 500 planets.
Among the 500, not a single one was suitable for life. Of course, that did not matter much to Zhou Fan anymore.
He mainly worked with such planets in the Zhou supercluster, but he did not technically have to ever since he entered the god realm.
Zhou Fan planned on covering every single galaxy in the purple star sea with his mortal dao.
He would also make sure that all 500 planets could host life and would have life.
Why did Zhou Fan do it? Because the purple star sea was far too beautiful to ignore.
One could comb the entire Zhou supercluster and may only find a hundred spots as beautiful or peaceful as a random area in the purple star sea.
It was as if he was constantly surrounded by glowing butterflies and glowing trees. Many people in the Zhou supercluster would have dreams of such a place.
Coincidentally, Zhou Fan happened to be near a galaxy as he filled in the final part of the map.
It took no more than a day to arrive at the galaxy. The galaxy, like all of the others, was aimlessly floating through the purple star sea without any sort of cluster.
Zhou Fan covered the entire galaxy in his mortal dao without any response from the cosmic dao. As usual, the chaos Qi within instantly split into the myriad of Qi's.
Zhou Fan then entered the galaxy and soon came upon one of the planets. While the planet was devoid of life and unsuitable for life, it was no ball of dirt.
From afar, it seemed as beautiful as some of the stars. The ground was made with purple and pink crystal that gave off a light reflected from the nearest purple star. There was not a speck of dirt on or within the entire planet. Even non colorful metals only showed up at the deepest points.
If it had been before Zhou Fan entered the god realm, he would have been utterly helpless in the face of such a planet when it came to creating life.
Now, in the true god realm, it was a matter of waving a hand. With one movement, the uneven surface of the planet was transformed into a completely flat land.
With another wave, pink and purple trees with a slight bit of yellow burst out of the ground. They too were made of crystals.
With another wave, purple and pink water formed an ocean and rivers. With another wave, mountains were formed and valleys were dug.
Zhou Fan could have done everything with a single wave, but he wanted to see the process as it moved along in order to make any judgments.
The only remaining thing to add to the planet was an atmosphere and living creatures. Zhou Fan soon added the atmosphere before he began thinking of what life he wanted to create.
Matters of design were no issue. Only by giving a race innate talent or special characteristics would Zhou Fan need to spend some time working.
Soon, Zhou Fan decided to put three races on the planet. They would be born at the Qi gathering realm and have slightly above average intelligence for such species.
One was the crystal butterfly race. Unlike beings made of flesh and blood, the only thing the butterfly was made of was a crystal like material and a core at the center of its see-through body.
The core would function as a sort of heart as well as a cultivation core that all beasts had. Creating unconventional life was quite interesting to Zhou Fan. He began to wonder what all he could do, but that was for later.
The next race was the crystal firefly race. It was exactly the same as the crystal butterfly race, but with the shape of a firefly and the ability to create a bright glow.
Finally, the last race was the crystal fish race. The same as the other two, but a fish. None of the three race's had any real combat ability or great talent. The species were essentially designed to look pretty.
They were all born at the Qi gathering realm, which solved the food problem, although that was a little different for species without flesh or blood.
Soon, Zhou Fan set 10 of each race out across the world. In no time at all, they would reproduce and give birth to more and more of their kind.
As Zhou Fan wandered around the planet, he began to have an idea. He had many bases throughout the Zhou supercluster, but none in the purple star sea.
The planet he was on felt so much like a paradise that he decided to create a place for him there.
Different from the cold and empty void that he enjoyed, he felt a different kind of peace and solitude. He was the only being truly intelligent, but not the only being. The planet was also much more beautiful than the void in some ways.
Chapter 321: Space Dust - 321
Zhou Fan looked around the world for the best possible location. Before long, he discovered a beach area.
Calling it a beach area was a bit of a stretch since there was no sand and only finely crushed crystals, but sand was basically crushed rocks anyway. The biggest difference, besides the color, would be that stepping on the crushed crystals would actually hurt a bit to a mortal. It would be like stepping on glass.
'Since glass is just heated up sand, it may be closer to a beach than I thought.' Zhou Fan jested to himself.
While he was standing on the purple and pink sand, Zhou Fan stared out into the purple ocean. Coincidentally, a sunset was taking place, only adding to the planet's beauty.
It was hard to describe how beautiful the scene was, so Zhou Fan stopped thinking and enjoyed it.
Before long, the sunset was over and Zhou Fan was thinking of a house blueprint. He didn't want the house to be big at all and it would probably never be used. It was only there to fill the scene.
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Fan created a one story wooden house that was not too big. It was not luxurious or fancy, but fit perfectly with the atmosphere of the planet.
After creating the house, Zhou Fan did not even enter and created a lawn chair in front of the ocean.
Over the next few days, Zhou Fan silently laid down and stared at the ocean. The sight never got old no matter how much time passed. After a few days, Zhou Fan forced himself to get up and continue his mission with the planets of the purple star sea.
Before leaving the planet, he decided to claim it for himself.
'It's not likely that the life here will ever birth even a void traversing cultivator. Even if they do, it would be a once in a ten million years situation.' He thought to himself.
'Whatever. I'll make this planet mine and personally ensure that the life here can never exceed a certain strength or intelligence.' He thought.
With intelligence and power came conflict and destruction. Even for races like butterflies and fireflies that were supposed to be beautiful and peaceful.
By ensuring that the life only ever has an animal level of intelligence and, at most, a soul formation cultivation, the worry of his planet being destroyed would never happen.
After all, the race's he had created were naturally calm and peaceful race's.
Before long, there were two giant arrays surrounding the planet. One array was specially infused with Zhou Fan's power. It allowed the array to stop anyevek 10 soul formation realm beast from cultivating or even absorbing Qi beyond the point of replenishing themselves.
For a minute or two, Zhou Fan felt a little guilty at the idea of limiting an entire planet of species from experiencing all of cultivation, but then he realized that, not only would they never be so intelligent, but he was also their creator.
Without him, they wouldn't even be alive, much less be able to cultivate. In fact, without him, all life in the universe would be on a single planet. Earth. As far as he was aware at least.
A lot more conflicting idea's entered Zhou Fan's mind, but he shoved them away.
'Why should I be burdened with worry and guilt over these things.' He thought to himself as he completely ignored the matter.
The second array covering the planet was an array that stopped anything from entering or exiting. It would also provide an invincible defense against anything in the purple star sea besides the great attractor at its center.
Luckily, the galaxy was far enough away that it would not be an issue for an extremely long amount of time. An extremely long amount of time being at least a quadrillion years, likely more.
Movement on a space scale was extremely slow. Otherwise, all of the galaxies in a supercluster would quickly be devoured.
After enjoying a few more views, Zhou Fan left the planet. He was moving towards the nearest planet in the galaxy, when suddenly a bunch of space dust caught his attention.
Random space dust was common around galaxies and within superclusters. He had even seen many within the purple star sea. They were never attention grabbing or interesting. It was essentially dirt floating through space.
This space dust, however, was interesting. It was closely compacted and was moving together slowly. It seemed to be in its final stages of moving. Zhou Fan curiously watched on as the last bit of space dust moved in with the rest, forming a compact sphere.
Suddenly, the sphere of space dust let out an explosion that shocked Zhou Fan into moving a back a step.
The power of the explosion was nearly at the lesser dao creation realm. Very few people in the entire heaven galaxy would be able to survive such an explosion.
Yet the explosion had randomly occurred in space. After a moment, Zhou Fan realized that the explosion never calmed down. Instead, it seemed to be suspended in space.
All of a sudden, a heat began to come out of the sphere and Zhou Fan realized what had happened.
"Is that how a star is formed?!" He said out loud.
He had never even asked himself the question of how a star, or even planets or galaxies had formed.
But thinking of it, it had to come from somewhere. If it just randomly appeared from thin air, or thin space, that would be quite weird.
There was a lot of space dust throughout almost every area of the universe that Zhou Fan had been in. The only big exceptions would be the area in between the three galaxy clusters in the Zhou supercluster and the space outside of the Zhou supercluster and the purple star sea.
"I guess that explains a lot." Zhou Fan said to himself.
If stars were formed in such a way, then galaxies and planet's likely weren't very different.
Then, Zhou Fan remembered something he had always ignored.
'There seemed to always be space dust near the black hole's.' He thought.
