Chapter 327: Star Creation Array - 327
After finishing putting hiding arrays, Zhou Fan began to create more arrays behind the hiding arrays.
The arrays he was creating now were new inventions by him that hadn't existed before. Zhou Fan would create ten arrays in a circle. All of them would be altered teleportation arrays.
When someone, most likely a star god, flew through the dark mist, they would eventually find themselves in another galaxy. That was the way that intergalactic travel would be done.
When Zhou Fan was done placing arrays, they would randomly lead to different galaxies. There would be no way to specifically enter the galaxy that you wanted to enter other than by chance.
It would be annoying, but that was the price to pay for such a convenient moving ability.
After Zhou Fan was finished placing teleportation arrays, he began to create arrays that would take the Qi away from stars and use it to power the teleportation array. Although there were many stars in the purple star sea, they were not infinite.
When a star supernovas, it would disperse its Qi and space dust over a long distance. In that way, it was easier for a star to be born from that exploded star.
In comparison, when Zhou Fan or an array took the Qi from a star, causing it to die off, it would be many times harder for another star to form.
Luckily, Zhou Fan had a 2 part plan. The first part was to use his understanding of creation to create an array that would be able to create stars from the space dust they left behind after their Qi was drawn out.
The issue with that was where to get the Qi to power such an incredible array. Zhou Fan would definitely not support such an array on his own constantly.
That would be far too much expenditure. The only other thing in the purple star sea that could compare to Zhou Fan was the great attractor at the center.
Zhou Fan felt that there was a good chance he could create an array that would take the excess Qi it was giving off and use it to power the star creation array.
Zhou Fan moved as fast as he could and eventually arrived in front of the great attractor. He planned on going closer than before in order to see the range that it began to attack at.
Soon, Zhou Fan was three galaxy lengths away from the great attractor. He could feel its power seem to sense him, but it did nothing. As Zhou Fan reached 2 galaxy lengths away, it finally acted.
A giant bolt of what appeared to be purple lightning shattered space as it shot towards Zhou Fan. Zhou Fan barely had time to react, but with a slap of his palm, the purple lightning dispersed.
Zhou Fan was not a normal true god realm cultivator. Like in all the previous realms, his battle strength was multiple times higher than a normal persons would be.
Zhou Fan turned around in order to go away, but the giant purple ball seemed to take his casual dispersion of its attack as a threatening maneuver.
Another purple lightning bolt shot at him. The lighting bolt was 5 times stronger than the last one. It was clear that the great attractor was fully displaying its strength.
Zhou Fan turned around and flicked his finger. His attack used his full strength, except Chaos Qi and his divine physique.
A flaming arrow shot out from his finger and instantly destroyed the lightning bolt before continuing on even faster than the lightning bolt had.
In almost an instant, the flaming arrow hit the great attractor and greatly distorted it. A large amount of Qi rushed out in order to defend the purple ball, but each bit was thoroughly crushed before the flaming arrow finally stopped due to Zhou Fans command.
"Know your place, ball." Zhou Fan said as he began to walk away again. This time, no lightning bolt shot out at him.
The great attractor had instantly changed its aggressive attitude.
Of course, it didn't actually have enough intelligence to understand what was going on, but it had enough instincts to let Zhou Fan go.
Zhou Fan began to set up the Qi gathering array 4 galaxy lengths away from the great attractor. At that distance, the purple ball would completely ignore the arrays and the efficiency of gathering the great attractors Qi would not diminish much.
Although Zhou Fan was stronger than the great attractor, they had a similar amount of Qi. If anything, the purple ball had more.
Therefore, the excess Qi that flowed away from its body as a result of it not properly controlling it was about a tenth of Zhou Fans Qi reserves.
It would very likely be more than enough to power the star creation array as long as the amount of stars being created was somewhat low.
On his way back to the first galaxy, Zhou Fan grabbed some stars by covering them entirely with his Qi.
Moving galaxies was annoying, but moving stars was easy enough. Zhou Fan brought a hundred stars with him and placed them outside of where the galaxy would eventually expand. They were hidden behind the dark mist from the view within the galaxy.
Zhou Fan then started with the harder part, infusing his understanding of creation into an array.
He wasn't sure if it was possible at all. Possible for him now at least. Anything was possible.
Zhou Fan planned out the array from scratch. It was by far the most complicated array he had ever created. For a second, he was worried that he would have to input some understanding of creation everytime it was activated, but he quickly realized that he could simply create the foundation of the array with his understanding of creation and that problem would be solved.
After an entire year of planning and creation, a giant array, powered by a giant line that extended into the distance, was locked in place under a hundred stars. The stars were also locked in place, and even the space dust would stay still once the Qi was extracted from the stars.
Chapter 328: The Ten Star Gods - 328
The only thing left to do was to test out the array. Zhou Fan sent a bit of his Qi in to activate it, and a burst of Qi quickly came from the great attractor.
The hundred stars floating in space suddenly had all of their Qi drawn out of them and pushed into an area next to the array. Since the array had yet to be connected to what it would power, the Qi was just pushed aside without being used.
The stars very quickly collapsed into space dust. The Qi received from the great attractor then activated the array under the stars. In just a few seconds, the hundred stars were exactly how they were before.
Unsurprisingly, the Qi from the great attractor had not been completely used. 5 more cycles followed before more Qi was needed from the great attractor. Regardless, Zhou Fan stopped there. He was simply testing it. Any more would be pointless.
The amount of Qi being taken from the great attractor each time was a very small amount compared to its total, so it would not be hard for the great attractor to support the process thousands of times.
Now that Zhou Fan knew the array worked as planned, the next issue was doing something similar to the other 49 galaxies.
Yet, Zhou Fan did not plan to do that. Creating a star creation array was an annoying and tedious process, and the great attractor may not be able to constantly support 50 of them being used at the same time.
Therefore, Zhou Fan decided to do the obvious. He would simply directly connect the great attractors Qi to the teleportation arrays.
It was absolutely unnecessary to create a star creation array to power the teleportation arrays. Zhou Fan had merely done it for fun and out of a slight interest.
Before doing such a thing with the other galaxies, Zhou Fan decided to wait until they finished moving. In the meantime, he would fully finish setting up the first galaxy.
Zhou Fan took the array line that would direct the Qi taken from the stars and dragged it with him to the inside of his mortal dao, where the galaxy had yet to expand to.
Inside the black mist, Zhou Fan connected the line to the ten teleportation arrays forming a circle.
The next time that someone attempted to pass through the circle of teleportation arrays, the teleportation arrays would activate and be powered by the Qi of the stars.
Of course, that was not all that Zhou Fan had planned. Everything he had created was still hidden by the hiding arrays, so no person or star god would be able to find anything. Of course, the black mist was also impossible to see through.
Next, Zhou Fan created confusion arrays that would directly stun the mind, misdirection arrays that would take advantage of the confusion and lead the traveler in circles or in random directions, and finally, a mind attack array.
Not just anyone would be allowed to travel through the black mist. At the very least, they would have to be at the tenth level of the space shattering realm, while having a mind that was above average compared to most in the same realm.
Luckily for the star gods, they were born with very strong minds.
Afterwards, Zhou Fan created an array outside the area covered by his mortal dao that would drag new stars from outside of the galaxy that would replace the stars that were used to birth star gods.
Only after a while was Zhou Fan done. Despite the time he had spent creating the arrays, the moving galaxies had not yet reached their positions. Therefore, Zhou Fan went ahead and created the ten star gods in the first galaxy. Only in the future, when they achieved greater strength, would they be able to enter other galaxies.
With a single wave of his hand, the pre-prepared star gods officially came into existence.
Ten beings the size of stars appeared in front of Zhou Fan. In order to communicate with them, Zhou Fan increased the size of his body until he was towering over them.
Despite just being born, the star gods did not give off a childish feeling.
They had humanoid figures, but from head to toe their bodies looked like the purple star sea from afar. It was as if they were made of stars, which they were. The star gods eyes were completely purple with a tinge of pink.
Like butterflies and fireflies, star gods were a peaceful race. As the only humanoid race in the purple star sea, there was no need for fights or war. The star gods would simply keep the peace of the 50 galaxies.
What implications that had would be a matter for the future to deal with.
Only a few minutes after being born did the star gods look at Zhou Fan. The first thing they noticed was how different Zhou Fan looked compared to them.
He wore gray clothes and had white skin. It was very easy for anyone to spot the difference between them.
The star gods could not speak with their mouths, but Zhou Fan felt transmissions coming towards his head. He did not stop them and allowed them to enter his mind.
"Are you our creator?" The voices all asked at the same time.
"Yes." Zhou Fan responded.
Different from the star gods, he used his voice to speak and his words rang throughout the entire galaxy.
"Why have you appeared in front of us?" The star gods asked.
Zhou Fan pointed his giant finger beyond the galaxy, towards a place that the star gods could not see.
"Far from here lies a black mist. Beyond the mist lies a whole new world. When the time comes, traverse that mist." Zhou Fan declared, his voice echoing for dramatic effect.
"I understand." The star gods replied.
Zhou Fan disppeared, leaving the star gods to their own devices.
He spent the next few years watching them from afar, his body back to normal size.
Before long, the other 49 galaxies reached their positions.
