Chapter 338: Meeting With Jack - 338
"What's brought you all the way out here?" Jack asked.
"I just happened to be in the area." Zhou Fan responded.
"Alright then." Jack said as he took a drink from his cup.
"I heard you lost to Ying Xiong." Zhou Fan said as he created a chair and sat down across from Jack.
"Indeed. And in just 3 moves." He said with a sigh.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Fan continued to speak.
"Are you gonna try and defeat him?" Zhou Fan asked.
"Why would I? There would be 0 chance of success. I'm so much older than him, yet I still lost in three moves. His talent is far too high." Jack said.
"Talent isn't everything, you know." Zhou Fan said.
"That's rich coming from you. Tell me, have you ever met anyone more talented than yourself?" Jack asked.
Zhou Fan didn't need to think of an answer, but he considered Jack's words.
"Of course I haven't." Zhou Fan said.
"Then how could you possibly understand the feeling of seeing someone work half as hard and get 10 times the results?" Jack asked.
"I couldn't understand, but I've seen someone far less talented than his worst enemy defeat him." Zhou Fan said.
"That's just it, I don't have that sort of motivation. Defeating Ying Xiong and becoming the strongest in the galaxy would be nice and all, but it would only be nice, nothing else. He is not my mortal enemy and I don't crave revenge." Jack said.
Zhou Fan nodded in understanding.
"My life has been a long one full of loss." Jack said. "First my race, then my pride as one of the strongest, and even my greatest comrade." Jack said as he held up his trident.
Zhou Fan didn't pay it any attention before, but there was a clear crack going down the trident's shaft.
Zhou Fan held his hand out and spoke. "Let me see that."
Jack nodded and handed it to him.
"It was cracked during my battle with Ying Xiong. He did not mean to do it, that much was clear. Afterwards, he even apologized and offered to repair it, but he could not. It was beyond him, and I figured that only the creator could possibly fix it." Jack said as he watched Zhou Fan.
"Couldn't this provide as motivation for defeating him?" Zhou Fan asked, although he already knew the answer.
"Motivation over a true accident? I am not so petty. Either way, defeating him would not fix my trident." Jack said.
After looking at it for a while, Zhou Fan waved his hand. The trident was repaired and its maximum level was upgraded to the inner world realm.
"Thank you." Jack said sincerely.
"It is not difficult for me." Zhou Fan said. "I do have an offer for you."
"What would that be?" Jack asked.
"I want to try out a possible technique. It would bind the soul of you and your weapon. If you died, so would your weapon, and if your weapon broke, you would die." Zhou Fan explained.
Jack put his hand on his chin as he thought.
"Of course, it is not a meaningless procedure. Your weapon would display much more power in the same realm and would even feel much more connected to you. Even if it was lost on the other side of the galaxy cluster, you would know where it is." Zhou Fan said.
Jack did not need to think much longer.
"That sounds good to me." Jack said.
Zhou Fan grabbed at Jack and took part of his soul. Since Jack's soul was much weaker than his, Jack did not even feel a thing.
Zhou Fan implanted his soul into the trident. It was almost as if he was creating life. It was also similar to the creation of Heaven.
Soon, as Zhou Fans hands moved, Jack felt like a string appeared, directly connecting him to his trident.
After a short amount of time, Zhou Fan took Jack's blood and smeared it on the trident.
He then handed it back to Jack.
"It won't have intelligence or anything, but it will now feel like an extra limb to you." Zhou Fan said.
"Thank you. Do you think this will allow me to defeat Ying Xiong?" Jack questioned.
"No. He is on an entirely different level in terms of talent. The words I spoke earlier were not completely false, but it would require a level of will that even I do not possess to catch up to him." Zhou Fan said.
The difference between Tian Fu and Yao Mun was one thing, but a much wider gap existed between Jack and Ying Xiong.
Even Pangu would find it nearly impossible to bridge the gap, though his talent was second only to Ying Xiong.
"Now, Jack, would you want me to recreate the mermaid race for you?" Zhou Fan asked.
This time, Jack looked at Zhou Fan suspiciously.
"Why are you offering me so much? I'm not in danger am I?" Jack asked jokingly.
"It doesn't take any effort from me. I'm just feeling nice I suppose." Zhou Fan said.
Zhou Fan thought to himself. 'I suppose that realizing the beasts were dead has caused me to be a little sad.'
"No, there is no need." Jack shook his head.
"Really. Are you sure?" Zhou Fan asked.
"The mermaid race perished long ago. Even if you brought them back, I would not be attached to them since everyone I know died. It's best to just let me live the rest of my life peacefully." Jack said.
Zhou Fan stood up with a smile. "I understand. I hope you manage to achieve that." Zhou Fan said as he turned around and walked out the cave.
Just before he left, he turned around.
"This may be the last time we meet. You are the oldest person I know that is alive as well. Goodbye Jack." Zhou Fan said with sincerity.
As he left, Jack mumbled goodbye as well.
As Zhou Fan stood in space once again, he looked upon the Zhou galaxy.
"It seems that once again, another thing connecting me to this place will soon be gone." Zhou Fan said to himself as he flew away.
Chapter 339: Robot Creation - 339
Zhou Fan flew just outside of the Zhou Galaxy. As he looked inside, a serious expression could be seen on his face.
"People are getting very strong. Even now, it would not be impossible to destroy the Zhou Galaxy, especially if they all teamed up." Zhou Fan said to himself.
Although they were not at his level when he was in the lesser dao creation realm, it was not impossible for a group of the lesser dao creation realm cultivators to destroy the Zhou Galaxy.
Of course, that was only if someone like Ying Xiong or Jack did not interfere.
The issue was that it was even possible. Although the galaxy had increased in size, it was still possible, although it may take a while.
To Zhou Fan, this warranted concern.
"This is the place where I was born. I cannot let it be destroyed too easily." He said to himself.
Even if the amount of lesser dao creation realm cultivators was low and there were people like Jack and Ying Xiong defending it, the future would be different.
What if, a long time in the future, a bunch of evil cultivators decided to combine their power and destroy, at the very least, a part of the galaxy.
It was simply not a good idea to let such a risk exist.
Although Zhou Fan may not care if there was the possibility in other galaxies, the Zhou Galaxy was named after him. It also contained earth, as well as the history of many of the people he knew.
Zhou Fan decided to put in a small counter measure. He waved his hand, and a humanoid figure appeared in front of him. It was a random cultivator from one of the many places in the Zhou Galaxy. He had no talent or motivation, and as far as Zhou Fan was concerned, no importance.
The man wanted to speak, but he was not even in the nascent soul realm. The space around him almost instantly killed him, although Zhou Fan interfered.
The man tried to speak again, but all of his memories were wiped in an instant. Essentially, he was dead.
Zhou Fan began to change the man's mind. Soon, the equivalent of a robot was in front of him. Zhou Fan elevated the man's strength to the peak of the inner world realm.
As the man's body was an insufficient material, it could not go any higher than that without augmentations, but it did not need to go any higher.
Zhou Fan placed the man above the galaxy and gave a powerful spear, along with a single directive.
"In the case that a person or group of people attempt to cause major destruction in the Zhou Galaxy, warn them, or eliminate them."
The man nodded and stood his post. With the amount of Qi he had, as long as he spent most of his time standing still, he would last nearly a trillion years. Of course, that was both because he could somewhat absorb Qi, and could also not be considered alive and therefore did not have a lifespan.
Zhou Fan soon left the Zhou Galaxy in a certain direction.
Unknown to him as he left, the random appearance of an imposing looking man standing still above the galaxy garnered the interest of many. Almost every single lesser dao creation realm cultivator appeared, and a few in the space shattering realm arrived at the top of the galaxy.
The man, who was dressed in an imposing robe with a mask, was just outside of the galaxy, while those who arrived were just inside it.
Soon, even Ying Xiong arrived.
At his arrival, everyone turned to him. He looked at the man, and immediately guessed the situation.
"I would recommend that we stay away from this. It doesn't seem alive, and it likely has no ill intentions for us. In fact, it may have even been placed here to help." Ying Xiong said to the crowd.
Most of the people there nodded and agreed with his words, but there were always a few that did not.
Among the few lesser dao creation realm cultivators that followed the demonic path, one stepped out and spoke.
"You're just saying that in order to take whatever opportunity that thing is for yourself. If your words are true, then why don't I go over and test the water?" The man asked.
"So even the darkness "immortal" has come." Ying Xiong mocked.
Like Zhou Fan, he too looked down upon those that dared to call themselves immortals.
"Please, by all means, go mess around and find out." Ying Xiong chuckled.
The darkness immortal seemed confused at his words, as if they were unexpected, but soon decided to move towards the man.
Although lesser dao creation realm cultivators could theoretically leave the galaxy, they rarely did so.
Not only was there no destination that they could realistically reach without many years of travel, but that feeling that space gave off outside of the galaxy was cold and desolate.
Most importantly, they could not use or absorb Qi from the surroundings.
Even demonic cultivators hesitated to leave under normal circumstances.
Perhaps only someone like Zhou Fan could leave the galaxy at the lesser dao creation realm without feeling a change.
The man left the galaxy and flew up to the man.
"Hey! Are you alive, or are you just some corpse?" The man asked.
After getting no response, the man assumed that the standing man was not alive.
He walked up to him, but as he looked in the man's helmet, a pair of red eyes met his. The demonic cultivator took a step back out of shock, but soon realized that the man appeared alive.
"Hey! You think you can just ignore me!" The man shouted.
Water Qi and Darkness Qi appeared in his hand, forming a wave of dark water.
"Pay for your disrespect!" The man shouted as he waved his hand and a giant wave of dark water appeared in space and quickly hit the man from the side.
The spear-wielding man stayed still even as the wave covered him and moved through the space.
