Chapter 424: 1st Stage Complete - 424
Zhou Fan looked away and stood up. It had been an interesting scene to watch with even Heaven participating.
He was also surprised that Yao Mun had the ability to come back after being dead, even if it was by using a bunch of tricks. He was really talented.
Zhou Fan wasn't concerned about the matter. As long as the creation of worlds was not majorly affected, he would not get personally involved.
Zhou Fan looked at Ying Xiong from where he stood. Ying Xiong was a pitiful person, even if he did not realize it yet.
The Buddha's main message had been to escape a "cycle of reincarnation", even if it hadn't actually existed, yet Ying Xiong had gone the opposite direction without even thinking about it.
Zhou Fan had even given him a hint by telling him that its name was "the path of rebirth".
In the far future, Ying Xiong would understand why the Buddha sought to escape the "cycle of reincarnation", especially since he would keep some of his memories.
Zhou Fan returned to the empty space he usually sat in and looked around. The Zhou filament was filled with vibrancy and colors. There were countless creations built up over countless years.
Zhou Fan decided to speed the process up a bit. He waved his hand, and a screen appeared in front of him. At the same time, all living beings with a cultivation of the inner world realm or above had a screen pop up in front of them.
"I, the Origin God, hereby declare that, in response to the large-scale wars between true gods, all conflicts involving cultivators at the inner world realm or above are to be ceased until the initial stage of the creation of worlds is complete. Anyone who violates this will be punished severely."
When he finished speaking, the screens disappeared. Although Zhou Fan felt a little overbearing for ordering cultivators around like that and even stating that he would punish them for disobeying, he had given all of the true gods, excluding Ying Xiong, the cultivation that they had today.
Whether it was from the era of infinite growth or the true god ascension arena, they were all him. In fact, upon thinking further, even Ying Xiong's meridians and path of rebirth were something given by him.
Nobody had a right to complain for countless reasons, the biggest of which being the fact that earth would be the only place with life in the entire universe if not for him.
As the screens disappeared in front of countless people, all conflicts ceased. What followed would be a period of great growth. During the next quadrillions of years, even the destruction race went out and created things. Inner world cultivators were low level laymen, while god realm cultivators were small scale supervisors. Only true gods could plan out and put into action a plan for a large creation.
Zhou Fan silently watched everything below him as time passed quickly. He himself began to create things to speed up the process, though he limited himself greatly.
If he simply wanted to fill empty space, then it would not take him more than a few trillion years to fill the entire Zhou filament.
However, he wanted various creations made with countless ideas. No matter how strong a person became, they could not think of absolutely everything. It would take many people with great creativity to create a truly interesting universe.
250 quadrillion years later, Zhou Fan stood in an empty region of space. Behind him were countless cultivators ranging from the True God realm to the Lesser Dao Creation realm.
Leaf was wrapped around Zhou Fan's waist as Zhou Fan pointed out with a finger. In the empty region of space, a giant plant pot appeared.
Zhou Fan looked at Leaf. "When I leave to breakthrough, I'll leave you here in case of accidents. You won't be able to withstand our power and I might not be able to protect you."
Leaf wiggled in acknowledgement.
Zhou Fan turned around and looked at the cultivators. There were humans, celestials, beasts, elves, demons, fiendcelestials, the destruction race, supreme beasts, and countless other race's that had been born over the many years.
"The first stage of the creation of worlds has been finished. In a trillion years, restrictions against conflicts will be broken, though I still want the creation of worlds to continue. This time, the goal is to spread life to all creations that can hold it. Contribution points will be doubled in this period." Zhou Fan said as he disappeared.
During the second stage, he planned on interfering more. Life would naturally diversify as time passed. Of course, he would still make various creatures attuned to different environments. He was also the only one who could affect life in terms of cultivation or talent, so he would have to personally do a lot more, though everyone else participating would still give ideas and suggestions on their own creations.
In the second stage, cultivators would get contribution points for either creating life, although few would succeed and would take a long time just to create a mediocre race, or moving life from different areas like Zhou Fan had done in the past.
Since there was a lot less creativity necessary, this stage would hopefully take way less time.
Unfortunately, with the restrictions on fighting removed, it could be expected that massive battles would take place, many of them destroying creations.
Although he had not spent all of his time cultivating, Ying Xiong had reached the 6th level of the true god realm. It was more difficult for him since he would not use the contribution points method of obtaining a higher cultivation level. That would affect him once he tried to cultivate higher.
On the other hand, after spending a large amount of the destruction race's contribution points, Yao Mun had reached the 5th level of the true god realm.
Increasing cultivation level with contribution points got more and more expensive as the level increased, which was why Yao Mun's cultivation was lower than Ying Xiong's.
Zhou Fan found an empty space and sat in it. Although the creation of worlds had created a lot, he had purposefully left vast empty spaces.
Zhou Fan planned on waiting until conflicts shot up and died down before continuing to the second stage of the creation of worlds.
Chapter 425: Twins - 425
As the trillion years before the restrictions were lifted finally passed by, there was no obvious movement from the destruction race.
On the other hand, the righteous faction moved out in full force. Plans set up over hundreds of quadrillions of years were played out as they hunted down members of the destruction race.
Although the righteous faction managed to kill billions of destruction race members and cultivators who were working with them, no gods or true gods of the destruction race were killed.
If the righteous faction could think of a plan, so could the destruction race.
While the members of the righteous faction were out searching, millions of explosions took place, wiping out large areas and many people.
However, this was the only movement from the destruction race.
The righteous faction was completely unaware of the internal conflict that had been going on within the destruction race. As the restrictions fell, chaos broke out in the destruction race.
It was all on account of the two new true gods not ascended from the true god ascension arena. They had cultivated to the true god realm by themselves, and as a result, could go even further, just like Ying Xiong.
These two were living beings with immortal godking rank 10 meridians. They were two twins who went by the names Lin and Zhenwu, the children of the king of the destruction race.
They had arrived long ago, and Zhou Fan's order had allowed them to reveal themselves without being killed or even harmed in any way.
Yao Mun had simply watched as allegiances changed. After all, the two were the rightful leaders of the destruction race. They even have off a pressure similar to the king of the destruction race's, though it was much weaker and did not demand complete subservience like Lin Zhenwu's had.
In Yao Mun's mind, it didn't matter what the twins did. Once the restriction fell, he would simply kill them. It would not be difficult. He was at the 5th level of the true god realm, while both of them were only at the 2nd level of the true god realm.
Even if they were a level above him, it would not take that much effort to kill them.
However, when the restrictions had passed, Yao Mun found that they had suddenly disappeared along with almost half of the destruction race.
Only 10 of the 21 destruction lords had stayed behind, with the high lord of arrays being one of them.
When Yao Mun discovered this, he laughed. While he went out to search for them, he did not try too hard. Still, many plans could no longer be put into motion.
"Dogs can run away, but whether or not they can seek revenge is another question." Yao Mun had stated.
He did not take them seriously at all.
The biggest loss was the high lord of thought. He had been a very valuable asset, but the high lord of arrays was even more so.
The entire destruction race was intelligent, not just the high lord of thought. The only people who could not be replaced was Yao Mun and the high lord of arrays.
Yao Mun would need to spend a while changing things, and the righteous faction experienced a nice moment of peace, though that made them feel even warier despite not knowing anything.
It was hard to operate in the open when the enemy could hide in the dark. During the 250 quadrillion years, there had been 50 true gods raised by the true god ascension arena.
Along with them, there had been two beings born with immortal godking rank meridians. One had immortal godking rank 10 meridians, while the other had immortal godking rank 9 meridians.
They had already cultivated to the 2nd level of the true god realm by themselves. They were also the disciples of Ying Xiong.
Zhou Fan looked down, and around him was leaf as usual. Leaf was now at the 5th level of the space shattering realm.
Zhou Fan was not fazed by the fact that he had only increased by a realm and 5 levels in around 300 quadrillion years, or by the fact that a space shattering realm cultivator had lived for more than 300 quadrillion years, but he was shocked by the fact that Leaf had not gained too much intelligence.
While his thinking capacity was similar to a childs, he was still a plant and lived like it. He was content around Zhou Fan or swaying in the wind.
Zhou Fan had no idea how powerful Leaf was and never bothered finding out. As long as he was alive, Leaf would never need to fight unless he wanted to.
After all, Leaf was his greatest disciple. Even Heaven could not compare in his opinion.
Thinking of Heaven, Zhou Fan's idea for a universal consciousness had not changed. He still wanted it to happen, but he had decided to postpone it until the fight against the cosmic dao.
He had wasted so much time he could have spent cultivating just sitting around and honing himself in preparation for the battle. He had created countless techniques in addition to his previously countless techniques.
Unfortunately, he had no clue what he was going up against. The cosmic dao was not some beast or humanoid creature. It was an existence that had likely existed since the creation of the universe, and he had no clue what form it would take.
He also had no clue if it could even think.
It was a complicated thing to think about, and Zhou Fan was not a member of the destruction race. He did not like plotting or planning for battles or against others. His only planning was put into the creation of worlds.
Once again changing his thought process to the creation of worlds, Zhou Fan felt like it was time to move to the second stage on account of the righteous faction's inability to find any major members of the destruction race and the destruction race's internal conflict.
