Due to his recent boredom, Zhou Fan decided to take a couple thousand years to fully master runes before he continued traveling.
7,000 years later, Zhou Fan was finished. Both the strength of the runes and the speed at which he created them had increased drastically in the last seven thousand years.
He had also discovered more runes during the time.
Since he had done all he could do with runes for now, Zhou Fan continued traveling towards the cluster of galaxies.
After a thousand years, Zhou Fan felt some progress. He had helped an uncountable number of planets evolve life and let that life cultivate.
After so long, Zhou Fan felt that he had traveled at least 5% of the journey. Still, he had a lot of traveling ahead of him.
After 10,000 years, Zhou Fan confirmed that he had reached the halfway point. Now, the cluster of galaxies had become much bigger and clearer.
He had long lost count of how many planets he had helped. He only knew that it surpassed ten thousand. Despite that, it would take a while for the planets to gain true sentient life that could actually cultivate.
Without stopping, Zhou Fan continued forward.
After another ten thousand years, Zhou Fan had finally reached the cluster of galaxies. Although he called it a cluster, the galaxies were not directly next to each other. They only looked that way from far away.
However, the galaxies were extremely close compared to other galaxies. The average distance was the same as the distance between Zhou Fans galaxy and the red galaxy.
The craziest part was that he hadn't even reached the center point. He had only arrived at one of the many legs of the main part of the galaxy cluster.
At the main part, the galaxies would be much closer. Perhaps some would have even collided.
Zhou Fan was excited to see such a spectacle once he arrived. Therefore, he didn't stop despite reaching the lesser part of the cluster. Instead, he followed along the leg.
During the travel towards the main body that took 3 thousand years, Zhou Fan helped more planets then he had on his entire earlier journey.
Soon, he had arrived at the main part. As expected, the place was chaotic. Everywhere you looked, there was another galaxy. Even colliding galaxies were not uncommon.
After looking around for a bit, Zhou Fan saw two galaxies that had been colliding for a while.
The collisions were not a quick process, but one that took hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years.
However, the collision in front of him was at its peak stage. Zhou Fan estimated that the black holes in the center of the galaxies would collide in the next thousand years.
Despite being curious about the rest of the galaxy cluster, he couldn't help but want to see the collision of black holes.
Since he was unsure how dangerous the collision would be, Zhou Fan stayed extremely far away. He was so far away that a thousand galaxies could fit between him and the galaxies he was watching.
In fact, three galaxies were actually in that space. Luckily, Zhou Fan could see through them.
After a hundred years of watching them get closer, Zhou Fan realized that they were speeding up. The black hole's gravities must have touched each other, causing them to pull towards each other.
After 200 years, the galaxies were moments away from colliding. The rest of the black holes galaxies were in shambles. Half of each of the galaxies were already destroyed in the process of the black holes simply moving towards each other.
After just a couple seconds, it happened.
The moments the black holes touched each other, they moved at a speed that exceeded even Zhou Fans in an instant. They fully collided and an enormous wave of energy and Black hole Qi shot out from it.
Instantly, the rest of the two colliding galaxies remaining stars and planets were disintegrated. In fact, all the galaxies within a million lightyears, were instantly destroyed.
Even from farther away, Zhou Fan felt the impact shake his body and injure him. Although he may be able to destroy a galaxy, he did not have the durability of one.
He instantly spat out a large amount of blood and shot away. He traveled at extreme speeds before he collided with a planet in a galaxy millions of lightyears away from the explosion.
After the planet was destroyed by his body, he stopped flying backwards and floated in space. In just a minute, he had healed himself back to nearly full health.
Although he was heavily injured by the impact of energy and the black hole Qi, it was nothing too major. Unless his entire body and soul were destroyed, he would be able to quickly heal.
Still, he was very close to death for a moment. He had luckily shielded himself with chaos Qi, causing most of the damage to be blocked. However, the slight amount that got through was able to do that to him.
Looking at where the black holes collided, Zhou Fan saw a new one, much bigger than the other two. Zhou Fan was able to quickly understand what had happened.
The two cosmic dao strands, along with the black hole's power, had instantly attacked each other with their full power. During the attack, the two black holes, as well as the cosmic dao strands, merged, causing the ensuing explosion.
Zhou Fan estimated that the power of the explosion reached either the 10th level of the inner world realm, or a whole new realm.
After seeing it happen and being injured by it, Zhou Fan decided to put off visiting the center of the galaxy cluster. Just the power of two colliding galaxies was more than enough to kill him. If he found something dangerous at the center, he may not even know how he died.
Despite everything that happened, the collision of the black holes gave him a couple new ideas for the future.
