Despite helping so many planets in so many galaxies, there were some that Zhou Fan avoided.
Those were the galaxies closest to the center. They were so close and piled up that Zhou Fan couldn't even see beyond them. Of course, that wasn't all they were doing. Zhou Fan could normally see through any solid object with either his divine sense or just his normal eyes.
However, there was a force blocking either thing from seeing past the galaxies. It didn't feel intentional. Instead, it felt as if whatever was behind the galaxies held so much power that he wasn't worthy of even seeing it.
Zhou Fan had pondered over what it could be. The biggest possibility would be the cosmic dao. The great dao. But that seemed unlikely the more Zhou Fan thought about it.
With his comprehension, Zhou Fan had a feeling that he would at least be able to somewhat sense the cosmic dao. However, he didn't exactly feel that from within the galaxies. He did feel something like the cosmic dao, but it gave off a feeling similar to the strands within black holes.
Perhaps the strand was the cause of the galaxy cluster, or perhaps it was simply coincidently there. Regardless, Zhou Fan would only know in the future.
After lingering near the wall of galaxies for a while longer, Zhou Fan left the packed together area. Although he couldn't enter the center of the cluster of galaxies, Zhou Fan wasn't forced to stop doing things until he was strong enough to.
Zhou Fan flew to the clearest place he had found so far and looked upon the many existences. Far away, there were other galaxy clusters and even things bigger than that. Farther away, there were things bigger than the things bigger than the galaxy cluster Zhou Fan was in.
His galaxy cluster consisted of many galaxies, but a single percent of some of the things far away may consist of more galaxies.
He wasn't sure if they were galaxy clusters, or clusters of galaxy clusters, or anything else. All that mattered was that there is more.
Even with Zhou Fan's strength, the universe could only be called infinite. He had been focusing on a small group of things, but there were many more out there.
Although some spots in the universe seemed empty, Zhou Fan knew that even more lied beyond the darkness. He wasn't sure quite how long it would take, but Zhou Fan knew that, unless he died, he would transcend all of it.
After thinking, Zhou Fan decided to fly to the nearest thing. Otherwise, he would spend millions of years traveling.
With his full speed, Zhou Fan flew to what seemed like a field of stars.
10,000 years later, Zhou Fan reached the 10% point between the field of stars and the galaxy cluster. Although the distance was far, Zhou Fan didn't mind.
-----------------------
90,000 years later, Zhou Fan reached the entryway to what he had named the starfield.
Ahead, Zhou Fan only saw a mixture of gasses and stars. It seemed that there were no black holes, planets, or galaxies within the entire thing.
Zhou Fan could only guess that the starfield was held together by the stars within it. The star's gravity acted as a chain that connected to other stars, stopping them from moving away.
As for what was in the middle, Zhou Fan would only find out by going in.
After entering, Zhou Fan felt the difference from the empty void. Without being within a galaxy, everything was colder and darker. Now that he had entered a starfield, Zhou Fan felt better. It seemed to share some of the same effects as a galaxy.
As Zhou Fan ventured through the starfield, he came across many unique things he had never seen before. The first was a pink star. The second was a green star. The third was a weirdly shaped star. It slightly resembled a snake or tube.
As he continued to move towards the center of the starfield, Zhou Fan saw more and more weird stars. Overall, the amount of normal stars still outnumbered the weird stars by a lot.
After a year of travel, Zhou Fan felt that he was getting closer to the center. Although the starfield was small to him, it was still bigger than many galaxies combined.
Before long, Zhou Fan saw what was in the center of the star field. In front of him, a giant red star much bigger than any other he had ever seen was floating in space.
Its gravity was the main reason why the entire starfield was held together. To put it into perspective, if the Zhou solar system's star was multiplied by a thousand times and put next to the star in front of him, it would barely reach 1% of its size.
Even Zhou Fan almost felt himself being affected by the gravity despite being more than a lightyear away from the star.
It was burning with a heat that Zhou Fan was unconfident in resisting. The giant star completely outclassed the current Zhou Fan. He didn't even have the guts to get too close to it without using Chaos Qi, which he couldn't do.
Once again, Zhou Fan felt just how weak he was compared to something in the universe. After admiring the star for a bit longer Zhou Fan used his comprehension of the cosmic dao to look at the space around him.
With it, he was able to see how the gravity of all the stars linked up and formed a chain. As for the big star, it was the main link. It personally connected to the gravity field of more than ten thousand stars.
As for the others, it still affected them in some ways. The giant star acted as the ruler of all the other stars within the star field. Zhou Fan couldn't help but admire it more than he feared it. After all, his fear was nearly non-existent.
As long as he stayed away, the star wouldn't harm him at all.
