Zhou Fan watched as the snake-like creature continued to grow and evolve at a rapid pace.
From his observations, it seemed that most paths were created on accident or through chance. Only the Buddha had actually intentionally made his own path.
Even Zhou Fan had not created his own path consciously. Zhou Fan did not fully understand what this could mean. He needed to see more paths in order to understand everything clearly.
The snake-like creature smoothly grew without much interference. After all, there wasn't too much fighting in this era. Even the destruction race had kept to their own domain.
It would be different if the snake-like creature was involved with a group of other creatures or lived in some sort of domain, but it minded its own business and moved around. The only beings it affected were those that it devoured.
After a long time, Zhou Fan watched it face its next big challenge, devouring a black hole. This was something extremely difficult for the snake-like creature, and it only had confidence after a long time.
Eventually, the snake-like creature devoured a black hole. This caused it to enter an extremely deep sleep for a long time. When it woke up, it had a new ability that perfectly complimented it. After all, like the snake-like creature, black holes also devoured.
Now, the snake-like creature could use some sort of gravitational pull in order to attract the things around it. This increased its devouring ability and could even be used to devour more living things.
As the snake-like creature continued on its travels, it unknowingly entered the domain of one of the Qi beings.
It noticed a stark difference almost immediately. There was no variability here. Everything seemed the same. Everything was white and puffy.
After all, it had entered the domain of the Cloud Qi being.
Regardless of how everything looked, the snake-like creature devoured it. It quickly evolved, gaining cloud patterns on its body and even gaining the ability to create clouds to conceal itself.
At some point, the Cloud Qi being noticed it. After all, what creature dared to do anything in the Cloud Qi domain? This was the first time something of the sort had ever happened.
The Cloud Qi being was about to move towards the snake-like creature when it received a message from the Great Dao.
Nodding, it stopped and simply watched the snake-like creature from afar, wondering why the Great Dao was protecting it.
The snake-like creature continued to devour things in the Cloud Qi domain, even being noticed by some of the beings that lived there.
However, the snake-like creature soon left. After a few thousand years, it was slowly becoming too cloud-like. It stopped devouring anything to do with Cloud Qi and left the Cloud Qi domain.
As it entered the normal universe once again, the snake-like creature happily devoured rocks, stars, and black holes.
Entire solar systems were gulped up in a single bite.
After spending so long in the Cloud Qi domain, its strength had increased a lot.
After many many years, the snake-like creature ended up entering the domain of another Qi being.
It was able to tell immediately. This time, it had entered the domain of the Sand Qi being.
It once again devoured countless things that existed within the Sand Qi domain.
It naturally attracted the attention of the Sand Qi being. This once again forced the Great Dao to stop it from doing anything to the snake-like creature.
At this point, the Sand Qi being communicated with other Qi beings. With the Cloud Qi being seconding it, all Qi beings soon learned of a snake-like creature protected by the Great Dao.
After a while, the snake-like creature left the Sand Qi domain for the same reason that it left the Cloud Qi domain, there was not enough variety.
It didn't mind devouring the same thing over and over again, but it instinctively felt as if it was evolving into something too focused.
Entering the normal universe, the snake-like creature devoured more and more.
At this point, its strength was equivalent to that of an Inner world realm cultivator, and an extremely powerful one at that. It wouldn't be long before it reached God realm strength. With this, it began to attract the attention of some existences.
It was just a small bit, but it was slowly becoming a known existence within the universe.
After a while, the snake-like creature evolved once again. At this point, it reached god realm level strength. The snake finally had the confidence to devour something even greater than a black hole. After slowly snacking on an entire galaxy, all that remained was the great attractor in its center. Chomping through black holes, the snake-like creature soon saw it.
It was in a 7 sided shape and did not resemble anything natural. The snake-like creature opened its mouth and ate it with a chomp.
As the Great attractor was slowly devoured, it released a tremendous amount of power.
The snake-like creature quickly spit it out, realizing that it had underestimated the power of a Great Attractor.
It would have been at least severely injured if it had not evolved the inside of its body to be able to resist powerful things.
Leaving behind only the Great attractor remaining in this galaxy, the snake-like creature continued on its way.
It often devoured galaxies, rarely running into any trouble. There had been a dragon that had chased it away once, but it had survived.
After devouring so many galaxies, the snake-like creature had become known in its area. Even True Gods paid attention to it.
The snake-like creature was growing quickly, and with its tendencies, some started to fear it.
Some even considered gathering to kill it before it grew up, but the snake-like creature soon entered the domain of a Qi being.
This stopped anyone from even paying attention to it any longer.
This time, the snake-like creature entered the domain of the Death Qi being. This was one of the most feared Qi beings out of them all.
Like in all of the Qi domains, the life in this area had changed when the Death Qi being descended. All of the celestial bodies in this area were dark and shrouded in Death Qi, while the only life here were living skeletons.
The snake-like creature instinctually tensed up as it entered. After all, it was life, and the opposite of life was death.
Still, it did what it had always done. As it passed by celestial bodies, it used its gravitational pull to suck everything into its mouth and devour it.
Like always, the snake evolved.
After waking up from a particularly deep sleep, the snake-like creature felt something on its back. Looking, it saw a creature shrouded in Death Qi.
As it always did, it launched at the creature to take a bite. However, it suddenly felt itself unable to move.
This creature looked humanoid. It held in its hand a scythe that instilled fear into the snake-like creature.
This was the Death Qi being, the being that resembled a humanoid creature the most. It took the form of the grim reaper from long ago, just much more powerful and much more intimidating.
The creature stood on top of its slanted scythe as it looked at the snake-like being.
"I've heard about you before. A being that grows through devouring, without ever touching cultivation. You are very valuable, you know."
The snake-like creature was powerful enough to transcend language, and it understood everything. However, it didn't care too much. It was feeling enough fear to simply hope to survive.
The Death Qi being was a curious one, perhaps as a result of it taking a more humanoid form. Seeing no response from the snake-like being, the Death Qi being soon left.
The snake-like creature heaved a sigh of relief. Then, it began to devour everything once again.
More important than fear was the feeling to devour.
Nom Nom Nom.
The snake-like creature soon forgot about its encounter with the Death Qi being and continued to eat.
It stayed in the Death Qi domain for a long time before leaving. It had nearly eaten a hundreth of the vast Death Qi domain, attracting even more attention than before.
Many were curious as to why this was allowed by the Qi beings.
Some even thought that the Qi beings were misunderstood and did not care about their territory. This misunderstanding was quickly resolved when a few beings were erased from existence.
This led others to questioning what was special about the snake-like creature. However, seeing as it was treated highly, nobody who knew about it did anything to it.
The snake-like creature's strength had once again grown tremendously, and it now had dark patterns on its body.
It had True God realm strength now, and with its speed, it could easily seek out other Qi domains.
From afar, the snake-like creature spotted another Qi domain. It slithered towards it.
Before long, the snake-like creature arrived. This was the Qi domain of the Life Qi being. It was the opposite of the Death Qi domain.
The snake-like creature once again began devouring, without any interference whatsoever. In such a place, countless living beings were devoured. The snake-like creature tasted a variety like never before. From a bunch of all you can eat buffets with only one food, it suddenly found one with every food. Of course, Life Qi was still abundant here, but the snake-like creature felt that the life here was more devourable than the life Qi.
Like in all other Qi domains, the snake-like creature stayed for a long time. It stayed far longer than it did in the Death Qi domain.
Although the snake-like creature was not evil, it was not good either. It simply existed to devour, and devour it did.
After eating a fifth of the entire Life Qi domain, the snake-like creature finally had its fill.
It soon found another, the Yin Qi domain. This felt similar to the Death Qi domain, but it was also different. The snake-like creature stayed for a while before leaving.
It traveled around the universe, devouring everything in sight. After a while, it was known to every powerful being. It was a terrifying creature with the sole intent to devour.
Before long, it was at the peak of the Outer World realm.
If the Chaos it caused before was bad, then this was disastrous. It began to devour great attractors, gaining many new abilities.
Those such as the Buddha, Ying Xiong, and Heaven, even considered stepping in. It was around this time that the snake-like being entered the Qi domain that suited it most.
This was the Black Hole Qi domain, and the snake-like creature was ecstatic.
It rampaged around, wildly devouring. This domain was also the home of the destruction race, and they were very unhappy to see the snake-like creature. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do to stop it. Even the Outer World realm member of the destruction race was helpless against the snake-like creature.
It devoured countless Black Holes before falling into a deep sleep. When it woke up, it was at a completely different level.
Its size had also drastically changed. It began to devour everything in sight. It reached the 10% point, and the 20% point. The Black Hole Qi being was watching, and expected it to stop there, but it didn't.
The snake-like creature continued. 30% of the Black Hole Qi domain vanished, then 40%. The Black Hole Qi being was confused.
He looked to the Great Dao for answers. The being was not angry. It did not care for its domain, it was simply something it was supposed to set up. Instead, it was confused.
The Great Dao simply told it to wait.
After a while, nearly the entire Black Hole Qi domain was devoured. All that remained was in the center, where the Black Hole Qi being resided.
Fearlessly, the snake-like creature barged in. The living beings that were under the teachings of the Black Hole Qi being were confused, but the Black Hole Qi being teleported them back to where they came from and simply watched.
