Finally - 181

Although Zhou Fan was not blinded by the sudden light, he was unable to see through it for a moment.

He tried to use some power to see what was happening behind the light, but he could only see a blur despite him putting in an immense amount of effort.

Eventually, Zhou Fan gave up and watched the light shine. After around 20 seconds, the light started to recede. Zhou Fan felt that he could look through it now, but he decided to wait until it completely revealed itself.

As the light faded away, his divinity and the cosmic dao that had combined with it started to disperse into space and fade away as well.

After fading for a minute, the light finally cleared. Seeing what was behind it, Zhou Fan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

It was hard to see at first, but Zhou Fan couldn't have mistaken the feeling it gave off. it was undoubtedly a microscopic organism. It had died off in an instant from being in space, but what remained of it was still there.

After a moment, Zhou Fan realized that he had just created life. Although he relied on the help of the cosmic dao, it could still be considered his creation.

It was a pity that it died instantly, but Zhou Fan knew he could create many more in the future. In order to get a good testing environment, Zhou Fan started flying back to the silver river galaxy cluster. As he did, he observed his divinity reserves and discovered that it replenished one hundred times slower than his Qi.

Since his divinity reserves were as big as 1% of his Qi reserves, they replenished at the same rate in terms of percentage.

After thousands of years of flying, Zhou Fan reached the first galaxy on the edge of the silver river galaxy cluster. Coincidentally, it had a planet with potential for life in it. There, he would be able to better test his ability to create life.

Zhou Fan quickly made his way into the planet and settled atop a flat mountain peak. Due to his mortal dao, the planet was not only huge, but had an atmosphere and plants.

At the top of the mountain, he would be able to create some life without any sort of disturbance whatsoever, not that he would face any.

He had observed that this planet, like the last he had visited, had also only evolved some worm-like creatures, but it seemed that it was nearing the phase of creating insects and other tiny life.

It didn't matter all that much to Zhou Fan right now, however. Usually, he would be eager to look at how life was developing naturally. Now, however, he was able to create life.

Zhou Fan sat down and crossed his legs on top of the mountain peak. Since it had recovered during his travels, he once again released 50% of his divinity out into the area in front of him. One minor change he made was that he had confined it to a smaller area. The area was around the size of a small house.

As he released some of his divinity, the cosmic dao far outside of the planet began to make its way inwards. Usually, the cosmic dao left the area that Zhou Fan's mortal dao took up, staying an entire planet the same size and length away from the planet. It wasn't that it was running away, but that it instinctually moved out of the way when sensing another of its kind.

After all, the area his mortal dao took up was miniscule compared to the rest of the universe that the cosmic dao took up. It was equivalent to moving an inch out of the way when someone is walking by you.

Now, the cosmic dao sensed the divinity and made its way towards it despite the mortal daos existence. Zhou Fan wasn't 100% sure why the cosmic dao was attracted towards divinity, but he was not complaining. If it wasn't, he wouldn't be able to create life.

As the cosmic dao came closer, it began to become seeable to the naked eye. Usually, it was invisible.

By the time it reached the divinity, it was like a small, colorful waterfall pouring into it. Once they were completely intertwined, Zhou Fan started to condense them. He had no need to change the Qi's around him since they were already changed from Chaos Qi due to the mortal dao, so the process went smoothly.

Eventually, the divinity and the cosmic dao were condensed to the microscopic level and a bright light shone. Zhou Fan waited for it to disperse, which it did, and he saw the micro organism.

Surprisingly, it was different from last time. Instead of being blue, it was more of a brownish green. Zhou Fan was confused as to why for a while, but he soon realized why.

In space, the space Qi was most abundant. Therefore, when the divinity and the cosmic dao mixed, it took the form of the most common Qi. Now, however, earth Qi and rock Qi were the most common. Therefore, it was brown and green.

Zhou Fan decided to test that out further later to make sure it wasn't a coincidence. As for now, he was focused on the micro organism in front of him.

Even after looking at it for a while, nothing interesting seemed to happen. It was simply existing. After a while, he got tired of waiting and started heavily inputting life Qi into it. He made sure not to overdose it, but he gave it the most it could handle.

Quickly, the micro organism began to evolve and change. It grew from its micro size to the size of a fly. Now, it looked like a statue of dirt. Zhou Fan wasn't sure why it looked like that, but he simply shook his head and ignored it.

After more life Qi, the not so micro organism began to grow more. Soon, it reached the size of a rat. Now, Zhou Fan could see its form better.
