121 Sixty - 121

Without thinking too much, Zhou Fan started to input his power into the sun. He could tell that the process would be much harder than when he was connecting the planets.

While he was taking over the sun, the sun was also fighting back. Although it didn't have sentience, it was as if it was instinctually attacking.

Nevertheless, Zhou Fan easily took over the sun and connected it with his mortal dao. Like the Zhou World, the sun was directly connected to him. Therefore, it would grow much bigger than the other planets. Since it had already been so big, it will also grow bigger than the Zhou World.

If it wasn't directly connected to him and instead connected to the Zhou World, it would never be able to surpass it. With the addition of the growing sun, the solar system would soon be completely functional.

It would have no issues expanding as far as it needed to. As for the other suns, Zhou Fan had ideas for them later. Once he became stronger, he would use their essence to turn them into weapons.

The sun's essence was at its very center within the core. It was the main thing that Zhou Fan replaced when taking over the sun. The core was like the shell of the sun's essence.

Despite adding a sun to his mortal dao, Zhou Fan felt that he could add a couple more planets before he had to break through again. Zhou Fan went around the solar system and added ten more planets to the new solar system he was creating.

Now, there were twenty planets surrounding the sun. The next time he came out of seclusion, both the sun and the new planets would have grown as big as they could. Of course, they would also start expanding as soon as he came out of seclusion like the Zhou world was now.

While waiting for the Zhou World to finish expanding, Zhou Fan decided to name the solar system he was creating. It took mere seconds before he came up with the idea of the 'Zhou System'.

It is a basic and obvious name, but Zhou Fan felt it was fine. It also fit with just about everything else he had ever named.

Afterwards, Zhou Fan spent a few years floating in space while looking at the stars.

He had no idea what to do and felt too lazy to do the only things he could think of. He could bring the grim reaper out, but that was unnecessary and unproductive.

He could also add more opportunities, but he was drawing a blank. As more and more time passed, Zhou Fan started to think less and less.

After ten years, Zhou Fan fell asleep for the first time in tens of thousands of years. He didn't have a dream at all.

After a while, Zhou Fan opened his eyes. He felt as if he had time traveled. One moment he was floating in space and the next he was laying in some rock on an unidentifiable planet.

He quickly estimated that it had been a thousand years since he fell asleep. Although he was curious, all he had to do was use his divine sense to find out where he was.

He was on one of the planets that he had recently added to his connection. In the last thousand years, the planets and the sun Zhou Fan added had fully grown.

As expected, the sun was ten times bigger than the Zhou World. Compared to earth and its sun, the Zhou World and the sun didn't have that big of a difference.

Zhou Fan didn't stay on the planet for too long before he flew up and left towards the Zhou World. He had already sensed the entire area and knew that there was nothing special.

After making it back to the Zhou World, Zhou Fan looked around and saw that nothing much had changed. After all, it had only been a thousand years.

Since Zhou Fan was unable to connect any more planets to his mortal dao, he decided to go into seclusion and break through.

He teleported to his room in the floating palace and started to cultivate.

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

15,000 years passed and Zhou Fan quietly broke into the 7th level of the lesser dao creation realm.

Without sparing a second, he teleported to space and went to the closest unconnected planet.

As he connected it to his mortal dao, the Zhou World, the sun, and all the other planets within the Zhou solar system began to grow. He spent three days connecting planets to his mortal dao and by the end he had managed to connect 60 planets in total.

He then moved them around the sun which increased the size of the Zhou solar system. Zhou Fan was able to guess that with his next breakthrough, he would be able to connect the final forty planets to his mortal dao.

At that time, he would be ready to give life to all of the planets and create an ecosystem. Before he did that, he wanted to create one or two structures in the space above the sun.

Specifically, he wanted to create a grand hall. It would be a place where the most powerful people of the Zhou solar system would convene.

Since it would be in space without any barriers to provide air, only cultivators at the void traversing level would be able to enter.

However, void traversing cultivators would soon be the second highest strength within the Zhou solar system. Zhou Fan glanced at Anna and saw that she was extremely close to breaking into the space shattering realm.

At that time, her authority would be set in stone for years to come. The dragon king was now at the tenth level of void traversing, but it would take him much longer to break into space shattering. Even so, he would soon be in the space shattering realm.

As for the monkey king and the titanosaur, they may never break into the space shattering realm at all.
