Chapter 75: Life? - 75
Each of the stars were bigger than any other he had ever seen. In total, there were 15 stars.
Shared between those stars were a hundred planets. Although none of them seemed habitable, there may still be some surprises.
Zhou Fan continued on and made it to the star cluster in less than a minute. The stars were of many different colors. There were 5 orange, 5 red, 4 yellow, and a blue star.
Each one of them towered over him like an unending mountain. His divine sense could barely cover even a single one.
Zhou Fan didn't pay too much attention to them as he went to the planets. There were a hundred of them forming a circle. The distance between them wasn't even 1000 miles.
Zhou Fan looked at them and decided to explore one of the medium sized planets. He didn't use his divine sense as he wanted to be surprised.
He had chosen the planet because it was a multitude of colors. From space, there seemed to be more than a hundred different colored spaces covering the entire area.
Zhou Fan descended upon one of the brown areas of the world. As soon as he broke through the sky, he noticed that the entire area was a mountain range.
In fact, it was eerily similar to earth's mountain range, with the only difference being the lack of green. Zhou Fan flew down to the highest mountain and overviewed the entire area.
As far as the naked eye could see, there were only mountains. Since the planet was much bigger than earth, Zhou Fan didn't find it weird.
Zhou Fan grabbed his sword that had been floating around him since he forged it, and used it with sword Qi in order to cut open some of the mountains. He didn't move from his spot on the highest peak and instead sent waves of sword Qi to cut them open.
Like earth, there were various metals inside. This planet was by far the most earth-like that Zhou Fan had seen. He even found iron and diamonds after digging deeper.
After cutting and digging, Zhou Fan left the mountain range. There wasn't much there to look at.
The next place he arrived at was a desert. There were no interesting sites. Just sand, sand, and sand.
He didn't spend long there before moving on. The next place he made it to was a wasteland. The ground was dry and there were cracks throughout the area. At one point, Zhou Fan even came upon a crack that extended miles into the ground and was almost 1000 feet wide.
As he made it to the end of the wasteland, Zhou Fan saw an incredible sight.
Directly on the other side of the wasteland, an entire biome of ice existed. The sight of broken and bland dirt meeting with ice was an unnatural fusion.
If he was on earth, he would have never seen such a sight. Seeing the ice got Zhou Fan thinking.
'If there is ice, shouldn't there be water?' He asked himself.
Eager to answer his own question, Zhou Fan dug under the wonderland of ice. He went down a thousand miles before the ice came to a halt. Right below it, there was a cave.
In that cave, there was a huge lake. It was an underground lake!
Water was something he had only found twice in his entire journey. The first time was on earth. This time, he found it in a cave.
'Perhaps there is life on this planet?' Zhou Fan thought.
In his excitement, Zhou Fan stopped restricting himself and let his divine sense out freely. It immediately covered the planet, but Zhou Fan was left disappointed.
After scanning, he discovered that there was no life on the planet. With disappointment visible on his face, Zhou Fan took a closer look at the water.
He looked at it with all of his power, including the power of the Dao. He looked deeper and deeper until he finally saw something.
Zhou Fan saw microscopic organisms! They were tiny, but they were life nonetheless. Zhou Fan knew that if such a discovery were to happen on earth, the scientific community would be thrown into a frenzy.
'Since there are microscopic organisms in water, are they everywhere?' Zhou Fan asked himself.
Such a question sent him on a journey around the world, looking at everything in order to find other such organisms. However, throughout the entire world, there were no other such things. Even in the ice above the lake, there were no signs of life.
Even so, Zhou Fan wasn't disappointed. There was still technically life on the planet.
In that case, he may be able to transform the planet. Like he previously said, Zhou Fan was unable to create life.
But since life was already on the planet, he simply had to help it evolve and grow. It may take a while, but he could essentially create his own race.
With his knowledge of the Dao, he would be able to change their genetics and traits however he wanted. He may be able to even make them more talented.
Increasing their talent may be a bit of a stretch. Either way, this planet could serve as the basis for the next race in the universe.
Zhou Fan immediately got to work. He transformed the broken, dried up dirt into soil filled with vitality. From that soil, he grew trees and plants. The entire process only took him a few hours.
Next, he melted the ice and transformed the terrain it was once upon. Now, it was a great ocean. He also took some of the surrounding areas and transformed them to make the ocean bigger.
Next, he made the microscopic organisms reproduce at insane rates. Although that process would still take a while, it wouldn't be long before the entire ocean was filled with them.
In the meantime, Zhou Fan transformed the entire world, bringing fire, lightning, clouds, and rain.
It took 5 years before the ocean was filled with microscopic organisms. By now, the entire planet was filled to the brim with vitality.
