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.
Chapter 322: Continuity - 322
By remembering that space dust always seemed to be around black holes, Zhou Fan came up with a theory.
'There's a possibility that when a black hole devours a certain amount of matter, it will spit the matter back out in the form of space dust.' Zhou Fan thought.
That made a lot more sense than assuming that black hole's completely destroyed everything they sucked in. If that was the case, then it would mean that the universe would eventually cease to exist as all the matter would be completely gone.
However, if the black holes expelled space dust in one way or another, then the universe was simply recycling the materials that would later create something new.
The new enlightenment seemed to stimulate Zhou Fan's understanding of creation. Before, the understanding of creation had focused on the aspect of life and permanently creating things.
With his new realization, the understanding of creation extended to things such as rebirth and continuity.
He suddenly felt as if he could destroy anything and create something else with its remains. He could crush a star only for it to be reborn in the next moment.
It didn't give Zhou Fan that much of a power boost since he could already destroy most things and create almost anything out of the remains, but it was a valuable comprehension he had made.
Seeing that star's creation was interesting to Zhou Fan, but it also gave him more questions.
How was a galaxy formed? What about a galaxy cluster? A supercluster? What about black holes? The universe itself?
He had always been curious, but had never really voiced his curiosity.
Then, Zhou Fan had a realization.
'Can I create black holes with my current power?' He asked himself.
Zhou Fan immediately tested it out. He waved his hand towards the star and manipulated some black hole Qi.
On the surface of the star that was millions of times bigger than Zhou Fan himself, a small black swirl no bigger than a human head appeared. In an instant, the nearby surface of the star began to be pulled.
As more and more of the star was sucked into the black hole, the black hole grew in size, not due to the star it was absorbing, but from the increasing amount of Zhou Fans Qi it was receiving. Soon, it was thousands of times bigger than Zhou Fan and halfway through absorbing the star.
Before long, the star was gone, replaced by a black hole a hundredth of its size. Surprisingly, Zhou Fan did not see the black hole expel any space dust.
However, in his mind he sensed that the black hole he had created was sending him some sort of signal.
The signal informed him of what was inside the black hole, which was almost an entire star of space dust.
Zhou Fan could freely move the space dust in or out at will since the gravitational pull of the black hole was controlled by him.
This was not the result that Zhou Fan wanted. As the black hole was created in a fashion similar to a technique, it was not a real black hole. Without Qi, it would eventually disperse.
Zhou Fan needed to use the understanding of creation to create an actual black hole in order to see its effects.
Zhou Fan took the space dust out of the black hole and had it shrink to its original size before dispersing the black hole.
Then, with the understanding of creation, he easily recreated the star forming process. The addition to the understanding of creation surprisingly helped a lot in the process.
Before long, an equally sized star was in the same place as before. Then, Zhou Fan waved his hand and another black hole appeared that looked exactly the same as the earlier one.
This black hole, however, was slightly different. It was created with Zhou Fan's understanding of creation. In other words, it was like a real black hole had just been created.
Unlike before, Zhou Fan got no feedback from the black hole and could not control its gravity through a direct connection. Of course, he could easily halt its gravitational pull with his own power.
The black hole was easy to create since it was so small, but it was also not very powerful at its size without Zhou Fan's Qi.
At best, it would be able to kill a lesser dao creation realm cultivator.
The black hole began to devour the star, but it was clearly slower compared to before. Still, before long, the star was gone and the black hole was a hundreth of the star's size.
Surprisingly, there was no release of space dust. Zhou Fan flew in space confused until he felt some fluctuations in the distance.
He looked to an area a hundred thousand lightyears away, which wasn't that much to him, and saw space warp for a second. Then, a small amount of space dust appeared. Zhou Fan's eyes widened as he realized what happened.
Before he could think, he felt more fluctuations and saw more space dust appear far away in different areas. After a week passed, Zhou Fan saw half of the matter that had been swallowed by the black hole expelled as space dust. The black hole had also gotten noticeably smaller.
Now, it showed no more signs of expelling any more space dust.
Zhou Fan was able to conclude how space dust was expelled from black holes. Teleportation. Somehow, black holes were able to teleport space dust away from their gravitational reach.
By expelling half of the space dust that the black hole devoured, the universe could continue growing. The matter that did not leave the black hole increased its size and would be released if something ever happened to the black hole, such as a collision with another black hole or being sucked in by a great attractor.
A lot was explained by the experiment, except for how the black hole was able to teleport the space dust. Zhou Fan decided to inspect the black hole.
Although the black hole looked 2D from the light it reflected, Zhou Fan had enough power to see that its true form a sphere.
Zhou Fan tried something he had never done, which was entering the black hole.
