Divinity - 175

Although he had planned to remain in seclusion for a long time, he felt it would be a waste to not explore the god realm.

It gave off a much different feeling compared to the inner world realm. Even if one ignored the obvious gain of divinity, the powers he could exert changed.

He decided to go and test his new strength and power out somewhere else. If he did anything too crazy in his spot, he would disturb its peacefulness that had lasted for so long.

After thinking, he felt the best option would be to go to a galaxy cluster. Not one of the ones too far away, but one of the three he had already been to.

Out of the three, the least important to Zhou Fan was the silver river galaxy cluster. He didn't wait long before he flew off towards it.

As he flew there at speeds that exceeded any speed he had ever gone before, he created more clothes out of chaos Qi. Although Chaos Qi was dangerous, Zhou Fan felt that he could at least make himself some clothes from it.

The clothes were gray and looked like normal pieces of clothing. Most people wouldn't be able to tell them apart from any other piece of clothing.

With his breakthrough to the god realm, Zhou Fan's speed was many many times faster. Reaching the galaxy cluster was a matter of less than ten thousand years.

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

7,000 years later, Zhou Fan arrived at the silver river galaxy cluster. It hadn't changed much despite all of the time he had been away.

Zhou Fan didn't worry about it too much. He continued flying into the silver river galaxy cluster. He planned to perform his tests around a fourth of the way through it. That way, he was both far away from the entrance and far away from the center of the galaxy cluster.

In what felt like a short time, he reached his destination. There was nothing familiar around since he had simply chosen a random area, but there weren't that many galaxies around. As usual, the galaxies within the silver river galaxy cluster were mostly silver.

Now that he had reached a fairly good place, Zhou Fan began to experiment. First, he had felt that he could use his divinity, but he wasn't quite sure how.

He tried grabbing onto it with his Qi and dragging it out of his body, but it didn't work. Next, he tried a more patient approach. He sat on the ground and crossed his legs. He then closed his eyes and tried to sense the divinity within him and focus on it. While the divinity was technically taking up his entire existence, it could only be found in a small area within his body.

After just a moment, Zhou Fan was able to focus on it. Drawing it out was likely to be similar to trying to learn how to use a new body part. Zhou Fan tried many things to get it to move once he focused on it, but none of them worked.

After around a hundred attempts, Zhou Fan finally felt it move a little bit. He remembered the exact sensation and tried it again. Once more, the divinity moved.

After he was sure that he had full control over the feeling, Zhou Fan dragged some of the divinity within him out of him. The area he had dragged it out on was his palm.

The divinity seemed very similar to Qi, but it had a few different properties that made it something slightly different. Still, it bore a 99% similarity to Qi, so Zhou Fan felt that there wasn't any need to worry about the 1% too much.

Zhou Fan tossed the divinity around on his palm for a little bit before he threw it out into space. It had no reaction whatsoever, so Zhou Fan brought it back to him.

He really couldn't figure out the use for the divinity. After a couple more experiments, Zhou Fan chose to try a different approach. Perhaps the divinity would have more of an effect on life.

It just so happened that he was near one of the galaxies with a planet with potential for life. Zhou Fan quickly flew over there and arrived at the planet with potential for life.

Actually, it should just be called a planet with life now. Looking down, Zhou Fan saw a couple of small things moving around. Although the most advanced life on the planet was worms, it had life at least.

Zhou Fan flew down to the planet and landed next to one of the worms. Not only was it not big, but it was even smaller than a common worm back on earth.

Still, life was life. If it affected non sentient life like the worm, then his divinity should affect sentient life such as celestials or humans. At the very least, it was worth a try.

Zhou Fan picked up the worm and let it move around on his palm. As it was doing so, Zhou Fan covered it with some of his divinity.

After a minute, Zhou Fan stopped and observed the worm. First, its color had slightly changed. Instead of just being the brownish pink it was before, it now had some lines of gray on it. The lines were extremely bright and eye-catching. They were also very rectangular and uniform.

As for its behavior, it seemed to stop mindlessly moving around. It raised its upper body and looked around, seemingly observing its surroundings.

Seeing it, Zhou Fan couldn't help but be disappointed.

'This breakthrough is hardly for me. Others won't have Chaos Qi and can't really change or affect life too much, but this divinity gives them the ability to start messing with life. In other words, this divinity may be useless to me.' Zhou Fan thought.

He was hoping that there were other uses, but it didn't seem likely. Zhou Fan threw the worm back on the ground and flew back to space. He still had more to do before he started to purely cultivate again.
