Heaven's Form - 208

Heaven stood there, floating, its form changing every single second. At one point, it seemed like a drop of water that had splattered on the ground, and at another, it had a human-like form.

Zhou Fan watched as it stood there in silence. After almost an entire minute, heaven's form stopped changing. 

It had settled into a somewhat familiar form. It had taken the form of an eye. The eye's color was blue, and it was huge. It would be about the size of Zhou Fan if it was vertical instead of horizontal.

"What do you think of my form father?" The eye asked.

Zhou Fan paused for a moment after hearing the question.

"To be honest. Kind of weird." He said honestly.

In just a moment, the entire scene turned awkward.

"Umm... I can change it if you really don't like it." Heaven said.

"No no. It's only weird because you're calling me father." Zhou Fan said while waving his hands.

"Here." Zhou Fan said as he pointed his finger towards heaven.

Next to heaven, a human body appeared. It wasn't made up of only living matter, but also some extremely strong materials that Zhou Fan threw together in an instant.

"What's that?" Heaven asked.

"A body for you. Only your soul form is an eye. You are yet to have a body form. This can be your body until you grow up. We can change it then." Zhou Fan explained.

"Alright. How do I get in?" Heaven asked.

"Just walk into it. You should feel something reach out towards you. Grab it when you feel it." Zhou Fan explained.

"The combination of your body and soul will also birth a brain. It won't have much use to you besides helping you control the body since you are already so powerful in soul form. But you will need to make sure it doesn't accidentally get harmed or you will be injured."

"Ok." Heaven said before he went inside of the body.

Zhou Fan watched closely as it happened. He wanted to make sure he understood everything about a new soul connecting to a body as well as possible.

As expected, heaven connected to the body smoothly and formed a brain. Once the body opened its eyes, Zhou Fan felt it was much more full of life.

"Hello again father." Heaven said.

Zhou Fan nodded before he decided to get down to business.

"Do you know why you were created?" He asked.

"No. I don't." Heaven answered.

"You were born to watch over and control this section of the mortal dao." Zhou Fan said. "You will ensure the development of all life and strive to keep this galaxy intact."

Heaven listened on patiently.

"You will almost never directly interfere, but you will make sure that nothing too evil or destructive plans to take over the galaxy. Or at least, you will do what you can without directly interfering." Zhou Fan explained.

Before he could continue further, heaven spoke.

"How would I do any of that without directly interfering?" Heaven asked.

"Good question." Zhou Fan said. "There are some ways to do it, but the most likely to succeed would be to create someone special. A hero specifically."

"You would help them chance upon powerful weapons or pills, and subtly help them speed up their cultivation as much as possible." He explained.

"However, that may not always be enough. Perhaps the leader of the evil is too powerful or talented. Then, you will give him bad luck and make sure he doesn't have too many good encounters." 

Heaven interrupted again. "And what if that doesn't work?"

"If even that doesn't work, I suppose it would be a situation you cannot deal with. While you are not evil yourself, you cannot simply go around purging all evil. Evil is necessary sometimes." Zhou Fan explained.

"If nothing else works, I will look over the situation personally and decide what to do next." He said.

"Wait. You said I should almost never use direct power to influence anything. In what case should I if even evil winning doesn't constitute it?" Heaven asked.

"The only situations you should use direct power in are, when someone directly challenges you and wants to destroy you, or when they have the ability to destroy nearly everything and plan on doing it." He said, making sure that heaven heard him.

Although there would always be unforeseen situations, these were the most likely and important ones to understand.

"I understand father." Heaven said. "But what is my power?" He asked.

"That would depend on your affinity." Zhou Fan answered. "Your power, or cultivation, will depend on the strength of those within the area you control and, of course, me."

Heaven's power would change depending on the number of people in each cultivation realm and the power that Zhou Fan deemed him necessary to have. There was a possibility that a single cultivator could gain strength above heaven since heavens power increase wouldn't be that much from one person, but such a situation was unlikely.

As of now, heaven's power depended solely upon the power that Zhou Fan gave him. His current power was at the 1st level of the inner world realm. 

It would be higher if Zhou Fan hadn't completely erased everything off of the fragment of his soul, but since he did, the fragments' cultivation was also completely erased.

Before he spoke further, Zhou Fan checked heavens affinity. It wasn't the same as Zhou Fans since, once again, he erased everything off of the soul fragment.

"Your affinity is lightning, life, and death." Zhou Fan said.

Heaven simply nodded as he didn't have much understanding of what lightning, life, and death were.

"Before I set you off on your own, I will explain some things and help you understand what you need to do to succeed." Zhou Fan said.

Zhou Fan then grabbed heaven by one of his arms and teleported above the first planet. Although heaven's power was enough to almost instantly travel around a single galaxy, Zhou Fan still dragged him around.

This planet should be pretty easy. You just need to give it some life rain and introduce cultivation to the life on the planets.

Your first goal should be to develop a humanoid or very intelligent species
