153 Red Galaxy - 153

Hearing Zhou Fan's words, the beasts turned serious.

"Why?" Xiaolong asked after a moment of silence.

"Staying here will only hold me back and hinder my cultivation. Also, I want to explore the rest of the universe." Zhou Fan said.

Worrying about the beasts and the rulers and the solar systems was causing Zhou Fan to cultivate less and have more interruptions.

Although he never planned to stay in seclusion forever, he would like to cultivate longer.

"I suppose you aren't going to change your mind. At least you've said goodbye." Xiaolong said.

After giving the beasts hugs and telling them he would be back eventually, Zhou Fan left earth and flew towards his pagoda. Before he officially left, there were some things he needed to do.

After entering the pagoda, Zhou Fan went to the top floor and released the grim reaper. Before he left, he wanted to give the grim reaper consciousness. That way, he could still be a threat to the Zhou world.

However, there were also some things he needed to do in order to make sure that he would never become too weak or too strong for the people of the Zhou Solar system.

First, he sent a message to Xiaolong and the others, asking them to not interfere with the grim reaper.

Next, he made a tool and put it in the grim reaper's heart. The tool would scan the Zhou solar system and detect the strongest person in it.

After it sensed the strongest person, it would automatically upgrade the grim reaper's strength. The tool was no weak or simple tool. Since Zhou Fan had made it with a lot of Qi, it would be able to upgrade the grim reaper until the 7th level of the lesser dao creation realm, although it would likely never get to that point.

Depending on the Zhou solar system's strength, the tool would either give the grim reaper the same level or a cultivation one level higher.

If the grim reaper were to somehow be completely killed, the tool would disintegrate into dust.

After he was finished giving the grim reaper the tool and intelligence, Zhou Fan sent it out into the Zhou solar system. From now on, it would no longer appear then disappear, but make its own place to stay. There may even be a huge war involving the entire Zhou solar system.

Sadly, Zhou Fan wouldn't be there to see that.

Since he was done with the grim reaper, Zhou Fan was ready to upgrade the pagoda. With the use of spatial rings, Zhou Fan would be able to take it with him. It was even easier with the ones he could make with his new strength.

As for a separate space that could be used without the ring, Zhou Fan felt that he could do it, he just didn't see a point in doing it. It's not like the ring is going to fall off or be destroyed.

After a couple hours, the pagoda was fully upgraded and ready to go. Zhou Fan put it in his spatial ring and flew to the top of the grand hall. Even after thinking for a while, Zhou Fan couldn't think of anything else he needed to do.

After so long, the cold sword that Zhou Fan had created had been picked up by someone. It was a talented person from a small village that chanced upon the sword.

"Goodbye." Zhou Fan said to no one in particular, before flying off towards the nearest galaxy.

--------------------------

Although Zhou Fan hadn't been moving at full speed, he reached the end of his galaxy in seconds.

He stopped at the edge once again and started to look out at the clear space ahead. In his opinion, the nearly empty void with the occasional galaxy was much more beautiful than the normal view of space.

Of course, there were many things that Zhou Fan couldn't even recognize farther back, but the galaxies were his main focus.

After all, a galaxy was the sign of a black hole, which Zhou Fan was still interested in.

After looking for a while, Zhou Fan flew towards the nearest galaxy, a red one similar to his, at full speed.

Despite the fact that he could travel through the entire galaxy in a second at his current speed, he was still a distance away from the galaxy after a minute.

Luckily, the coldness couldn't affect him whatsoever.

After five minutes of flying, Zhou Fan reached the boundary of the red galaxy. From what he could tell, it was at least twice as big as his galaxy.

There were still many different colors of stars, but the very space seemed to give off a red glow, although just slightly.

Still, the slight red glow was enough to affect how the galaxy looked from far away, just like his galaxy's purple glow was enough to change the way it looked from far away.

After looking at it for a while, Zhou Fan entered. Despite the difference in looks, the galaxy gave off the same feeling as his.

He wasn't quite sure what to do, so he went to the center of the galaxy. As expected, there was a black hole. Like the black hole in his galaxy, there was a bit of cosmic dao in it.

In fact, with his new strength, Zhou Fan was able to tell that the bits of the cosmic dao were more like strands of Qi.

However, the Qi was so powerful that it was able to give off mystical effects. Still, it could only be called a bit of the cosmic dao.

Zhou Fan was also able to tell that the black hole was slowly devouring the galaxy. This time, Zhou Fan didn't plan on stopping it. He had already covered the entire galaxy with his divine sense and was able to tell that there were no planets with life on them.

Therefore, he had very little interest in this galaxy.

However, there was a planet that seemed to have the potential for life. It was similar to the Zhou world before Zhou Fan transformed it.
