Chapter 331: True God 3 - 331
It was Zhou Fans first time ever feeling such a thing. He had destroyed space beyond recognition many times, but the current space seemed like an endless maze.
It was as if it was jumbled up and mixed together, with only a few parts actually being considered broken.
Before long, Zhou Fan was 4 galaxy lengths away from the black hole. In the same second that he took a step, a great suction force focused on him. Even with his power, he felt as if it almost couldn't be resisted.
Only after his body burst out with Qi was he able to resist the great attractor. As if it took offense to his actions, an orange and black bolt struck at him. It was similar to the previous great attractor's attack, but also much different.
Zhou Fan crossed his arms and covered them with Qi as the bolt hit him. His Qi was pierced and his clothes were torn through, but only a slight redness was visible on his arms.
Despite the attack seeming similar to a lightning bolt, it did not have any of a lightning bolts properties. They just had the same shape.
When he was hit, Zhou Fan felt like he was being hit with a blunt force, before it started to pull at him.
If he took it with his bare body, he may not be able to stand without injuries. Despite likely being in danger, Zhou Fan felt excited at the prospect of a powerful attack.
Besides Chaos Qi and his divine physique, Zhou Fan began to use all of his power. An amount of Qi that could instantly cover multiple galaxies burst out of his body and formed around his finger.
As he pointed it at the great attractor, the great attractor formed 9 bolts that hit each other before turning into a single bolt that struck towards him.
'Dao Finger.' Zhou Fan thought as a multi-colored finger many times bigger than himself formed and moved straight forward.
The Dao Finger and the great attractors bolt collided, but the Dao Finger was not a casual attack. Out of all of Zhou Fans martial arts and techniques, it was the strongest without using Chaos Qi.
The Dao Finger was only halted for half a second before it continued forward. A few more bolts shot towards it, including two as strong as the first, but it barely slowed down and only slightly dimmed as it hit the great attractor that resembled a black hole.
Zhou Fan saw some of the Qi on the outer layer of the Dao Finger being redirected by the black hole's gravitational pull, but it barely reduced the power of the attack by 10%. It was simply too powerful.
The Dao Finger struck the great attractor, causing it to move back an entire galaxy length, as well as twist and turn, before the Dao Finger dispersed.
Zhou Fan was surprised that it had managed to survive his attack without his interference.
"Well done." He said out loud, although the black hole did not respond.
No more action came from the black hole, that was all there was to it. Zhou Fan was satisfied, so he turned around and walked away. Over the next 30 or so years, he explored every area of the place.
Nothing was present except for black holes and twisted space, along with the occasional space dust that soon disappeared.
Zhou Fan considered taking on the challenge of creating life that could fit in the area, but he didn't believe that he could do it. His life creating abilities were incredible, but not quite creating a race that can survive black holes incredible.
Once he was done mapping out the place, Zhou Fan decided to officially name it. Based on its contents, he felt that the name "Forbidden Land", fit it well.
After all, to anyone except him, entering was a death sentence.
Soon afterwards, Zhou Fan left the forbidden land. He did not go anywhere else, but floated above the barrier on top of the forbidden land.
Although the two areas similar to the forbidden land and the purple star sea seemed interesting, Zhou Fan had set his sights on another area. Unfortunately, that area was a bit out of his reach.
It would take too long to be worth it if he tried to make that journey. Therefore, he decided to breakthrough a bit.
He crossed his legs while floating in space and began to draw in Chaos Qi.
350 million years later, he broke into the 2nd level of the true god realm.
He sighed as it seemed the length of time had reached an unreasonable amount again. In that single span of time, who knows what changes could have happened.
By the time he reached the third level, all space shattering realm cultivators who had not reached the lesser dao creation realm would have died from lifespan issues.
That meant that, besides a very select few, all the life in the universe had just reset.
Only at the lesser dao creation realm did lifespan truly begin to increase incredibly.
At the lesser dao creation realm, the lifespan was 50 billion years. At the inner world realm, it was 5 trillion years.
It continued to increase greatly from there. 500 million years was a lot for any cultivator, so if one could not reach the lesser dao creation realm in that time, it was not unreasonable to die.
All Zhou Fan surely knew was that Ying Xiong was at the lesser dao creation realm, and probably in the upper levels. Going to the next realm would pose a problem, but if he could not do it, nobody could.
After 450 million years, Zhou Fan broke into the 3rd level of the true god realm and stopped there.
'The increase in speed should be enough.' He thought.
After a thousand years, Zhou Fan stopped in front of the barrier leading to his destination. Not too far ahead were twenty giant balls of dirt that could hardly be described as planets.
Chapter 332: Great Earth Area - 332
The area in front of Zhou Fan was half the size of the purple star sea. In front of him were 20 giant balls of dirt so big that even the biggest galaxy he had ever seen could not compare.
There was a large amount of space between each ball, but each one was a tenth the size of a galaxy cluster.
In the center, there was another ball of dirt that didn't seem different from the rest, but it gave off the distinct feeling of a great attractor, though all the balls of dirt seemed to attract in one way or another.
Even from afar, Zhou Fan could see large amounts of dust and debris being sucked onto the balls.
Despite being in the shape of a sphere, they really could not be called planets. Each one was simply a ball of dirt with nothing else. There was no grass or atmosphere. Nothing.
Zhou Fan quickly flew onto the closest "planet" and checked it out. The moment that he landed on it, he could feel a large gravity bear down on him. It was a hundred times the gravity of normal planets like earth.
There was also a formless suction that reached out from the planet and brought any space dust or floating dirt down to the planet and layered it on the rest.
Based on the rates that the planets were growing, they were likely ancient. Each one should be as old as earth, if not older.
Zhou Fan had yet to see anything in the universe that had been in existence that much longer than earth, leading him to believe that the universe was fairly new. That would also explain why there was no other life.
Zhou Fan covered the entire planet in his divine sense, but it truly was nothing more than a clump of dirt pushed together by gravity for many years.
Zhou Fan could not cover such a large landmass that was bigger than any galaxy with his mortal dao, but the 20 planets had much potential in Zhou Fan's eyes.
It did not take him long to come to a decision.
'When I break into a new realm, I will come back here and cover all of these planets in my mortal dao.' He declared.
Zhou Fan flew around the entire area that contained 20 planets, but there was nothing unexpected. Every now and then there was a star, but no other planets.
After just a year, Zhou Fan flew to the center planet. He got the same feeling of power as the great attractor in the purple star sea, but he was not attacked no matter how close he came to the planet.
When he landed on it, he realized that the great attractor was at the core of the planet. He flew down, and soon came upon an empty space.
Not far away, in the center of the space, was a large clump of dirt. Zhou Fan could tell that it was the great attractor. This one bore the appearance of a planet.
Despite coming close to it, it still did not attack. Only when Zhou Fan touched it with his hand did a spike of earth shoot at him. Zhou Fan dodged and backed off. Since the great attractor did not seem to want any trouble and acted like a turtle, Zhou Fan left it alone and flew away.
He soon left the center planet, and before long, the large area that he had named the Great Earth Area.
Off to the side was another large area. Zhou Fan decided to create a map of all of the surrounding areas.
The closest area seemed like a rainbow river. As Zhou Fan entered and investigated, he discovered that the river-like scene was made from flowing energies. The entire area was covered in soft and colorful energy that acted like water but was more or less a liquid form of stars.
He decided to name it the rainbow river.
Near to that was another dark area that seemed to be in the shape of a horse. It was like the purple star sea but with black stars, and interesting sight to see.
Over the next 800,000 years, Zhou Fan explored many large areas in the universe. Some were the size of the Zhou supercluster, while some were ten times smaller, and others were twice bigger.
Zhou Fan wanted to see if they would stop at some point and there would be a large gap like at the end of galaxy clusters, but there were far too many places to explore.
Even on the map, there was a large to be continued area. Zhou Fan had explored in a cube around the Zhou supercluster, and in total had went through 163 of such areas, each one having a great attractor, though none was more powerful than the one in the forbidden land and there was no area with 3 like the Zhou supercluster.
Zhou Fan floated above the Zhou supercluster as he looked around. Now, everything did not seem so unfamiliar. Unlike before, when he looked into the sky, names would appear in his mind and he would think of the interior of those areas.
From his searches, he had discovered that great attractors essentially embodied the area they were in. Some looked like giant balls of magma, while others took the shape of a cylinder or black hole.
While they were not fixed to look like sphere's, they definitely seemed to lean towards such a configuration.
Now, with all of his exploration done, the Zhou supercluster could be considered the most unexplored area in the surroundings since he had never seen its great attractors.
Now, Zhou Fan was ready. He had seen many other great attractors, but never the ones he was born closest to.
He hoped nothing bad happened, but in the absolute worst case scenario, such as the great attractors exploding, Zhou Fan would protect the surrounding areas.
At the very least, he would not be harmed. Zhou Fan stopped sitting and flew straight down, in the direction of the tree-like galaxy.
