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.
The water was dark, so it was hard to see what was happening inside, but Ying Xiong could make out a shadow of a man standing absolutely still.
It was at this exact time that Jack arrived. He had gotten the news as well. He looked up just as the wave ended and the spear-wielding man appeared once again, completely uninjured by the attack.
Even Ying Xiongs face changed. He would have to use Qi to resist the attack at least, but the spear-wielding man simply stood there.
The darkness immortal felt a cold sweat cover his entire body as the spear-wielding man moved for the first time.
"Threat detected. Self-defense protocols activated." A robotic voice sounded out.
The spear in the man's hand was simply waved at the darkness immortal, yet the moment that the spear completed its movement, a horrifying amount of Qi shot out and formed a giant black spear.
The spear moved just like the man's real spear, and a large amount of Darkness Qi instantly obliterated the space outside the galaxy. The destruction only stopped moving when it reached the entrance to the galaxy.
The darkness cleared and the space slowly healed. Soon, a robot-like man could be seen standing the same as before, but no trace of the darkness immortal remained.
There was no lack of shock from any person that had watched the scene. Even Ying Xiong could not help but feel that he would lose in a fight against the man.
Among the crowd, only two people could guess where the robot-like man came from.
—--------------------------------
'I should probably cultivate to the next realm soon.' Zhou Fan thought to himself.
There was not much left that he could do in the true god realm. Only in the next realm would things really have a possibility of changing.
Before that, Zhou Fan wanted to mess with cultivation 1.0. It would not take Ying Xiong long to break into the 1st level of the inner world realm, and that is where he would stay unless cultivation 1.0 upgraded.
Zhou Fan had thought of many possible additions and changes he could make, but actually adding and changing things would take a very long time.
In the millions of years at least.
Luckily, Zhou Fan did not have much to attend to at the moment.
Zhou Fan flew to the river of cultivation and began to make changes to it. Those changes would heavily affect the future.
—-----------------------------------------
350 million years later, Zhou Fan was still making changes.
However, in the Zhou galaxy, a grand event was taking place. To mortals, this was a once in a million generation spectacle. To cultivators, it was no less incredible.
At the top of the Zhou Galaxy, far below the robot-like man, a group of lesser dao creation realm cultivators, space shattering cultivators, void traversing cultivators, and even a few cultivators at lower realms who had powerful relatives or backers were standing far away from a single man cultivating in space.
For the first time in the history of the universe, as far as the general galaxy was aware, a cultivator was attempting to break through to the realm after the lesser dao creation realm.
Although they had never seen or heard of a cultivator on that level, they all instinctively knew the name of the next realm. The inner world realm. As for what that meant, only the man in front of them would know, if he successfully broke through of course.
Even Jack watched from afar with an accepting expression on his face. He had accepted his inferiority long ago.
After an entire year of waiting, movement could be seen around Ying Xiong, a sign that he was breaking through.
Due to Zhou Fans river of cultivation, breakthroughs no longer caused damage to the area around the person breaking through, no matter the realm.
Still, faint bits of Qi could be seen moving around Ying Xiong.
After 5 years of watching, a miniscule amount of time to almost any cultivator, Ying Xiong stood up.
The moment that he did, a horrifying pressure burst out of his body. It did not cause any sort of damage, but the vast difference in strength was clearly displayed just by the amount of Qi he possessed.
The pressure only lasted a second before it disappeared, and the bald Ying Xiong smiled at those around him.
"Since everyone is here, please listen to my announcement. I will be leaving the galaxy soon. I leave the buddhist sect to my disciple. I will return, but it may be far in the future. Please, out of respect for me, do not move against the buddhist sect." Ying Xiong said, the threat behind his tone clear.
Not a single person around dared to act pompously around Ying Xiong even before, but especially now that he was an entire realm above them.
Be it demonic cultivators or righteous cultivators, or even Jack, every single person's head lowered as they stated their agreement.
It could be said that at this time, nothing could stop Ying Xiong from killing everyone present in an instant.
After 100,000 years passed, Ying Xiong departed from the galaxy. He had hesitated for a while, but he eventually gave in. His disciple was at the lesser dao creation realm, and he had many allies that would help defend the buddhist sect, as well as earth.
Not only had he repaid the past actions of the people who helped him, but he had done it with high interest.
There was absolutely nothing tying Ying Xiong to the galaxy. Only his own emotions attempted to.
Surprisingly, the thing that gave him the final push was Zhou Fan's words. The feeling of hearing someone call you a bug, and knowing that they are absolutely right was a feeling not easily forgotten.
Ying Xiong decided that he would prove Zhou Fan wrong. He too would become someone so legendary that their name was not even recorded in history.
The biggest hurdle would be the fact that he could feel he could no longer increase his cultivation, but he would either wait for something to change, or change it himself!
The second biggest hurdle was that, outside the galaxy and the reaches of Zhou Fans mortal dao, Qi could no longer be absorbed. Only the Qi previously stored inside the body would remain, so he would have to hop from galaxy to galaxy that Zhou Fan had covered with his mortal dao.
