After so much time, a few of the Sages now had descendants. With the bloodline system in place, there were some events of success in passing down talents and techniques, though there had yet to be a successful passing down of a Divine Physique.
The most likely descendants to inherit something were the direct descendants of the Sage themself. Going down the lineage, the odds of inheriting something decreased.
In other words, the children were most likely to inherit something, the grandchildren were less likely, the great grandchildren even more unlikely.
This would continue as the family tree branched out until either a new sage was born in the family line, or the bloodline inheritance completely faded away.
In addition to the passing down of innate talents, Divine Physiques, and techniques, the descendants of powerful cultivators were already likely to have higher talent.
Still, due to the sheer majority of living beings, it was unlikely for a descendant of a Sage to truly be the most talented of their time.
However, it was likely that as time passed, there would be a higher and higher importance on bloodline.
Zhou Fan could foresee internal problems of the cultivation world with this, but it wasn't his problem. Everything would solve itself.
Zhou Fan stopped looking at the universe and simply sat under Leaf while waiting.
A few septillion years later, Zhou Fan was surprised to learn that the Buddha had half crippled the high sage realm cultivator.
Apparently, he had become extremely arrogant and even attacked the Buddha. After all, nobody knew of the Buddha's strength besides Zhou Fan.
With his injuries, the High Sage only had the strength of a Sage. This would probably be a permanent injury. While this event shocked the cultivation universe, many began to understand that there were beings among them that surpassed all known strength.
Nobody understood that the Buddha wasn't even a cultivator.
Later, Yoha found the Buddha and had a conversation with him. It seemed that Yoha had come prepared to fight, but left with everything seemingly resolved. That was Yoha's first real chat with the Buddha, and they came to learn that both had interacted with Zhou Fan.
Neither felt the need to fight, and considering a fight would destroy the universe without Zhou Fan's intervention, neither thought it was a good idea.
In Zhou Fan's residence, Monty woke up for the first time in a while. He slithered around Zhou Fan for a moment before looking him in the eye.
At this point, Monty was more or less Zhou Fan's pet.
"Do you want to go out for a bit?" Zhou Fan asked.
Monty nodded its head.
"That's ok, but don't devour too much or kill too many."
Monty agreed and left through a circle.
As soon as he left the residence, his body enlarged by countless times. Replacing the sky, his body blocked out the view of countless stars from countless places.
His body was as long as the universe itself. He instantly attracted the attention of many, including the Buddha and Yoha, who was out of the Mini universe at this time.
Monty's body had changed a bit since he was brought to the residence. He was very similar to a normal garden snake from afar, but with his size, nobody could focus on how harmless he looked.
Yoha and the Buddha immediately prepared to fight if necessary, but Monty just looked around curiously. Everything was smaller than it remembered.
Monty's gaze was attracted to the Black Hole Qi being. The Black Hole Qi being remembered Monty very clearly.
Monty's tongue flickered, and the Black Hole Qi being entered its mouth. After chewing for a while, it spit it out.
Even that didn't taste good anymore.
Next, Monty looked at the Greatest attractor. It quickly stopped caring about it as well.
Finally, Monty noticed the Buddha and Yoha. Recognizing Yoha, it got closer and sniffed.
Yoha suddenly remembered the snake-like creature on Zhou Fan and relaxed a bit. He pet Monty, though Monty threw him away unharmed.
Monty sniffed the Buddha as well, his tongue reaching out and licking him. The Buddha simply let it happen.
After all this, Monty lost interest and returned to the residence. Countless beings had felt extreme fear, but it was over just as quickly as it happened.
When Monty returned, he wrapped around Zhou Fan and fell into a deep sleep again.
Zhou Fan continued to sit under Leaf as time passed. The Universe constantly changed, but none of it affected Zhou Fan. This was until one day when a unique being was born. It initially did not have a form, but as it gained consciousness, it was in a human world. Instinctively, it took a human form and lived as a human.
However, this being was unique throughout the whole universe. It was seen as a defective offspring of a powerful non-humanoid race and cast far away through a tear in space.
Unbeknownst to those that had cast it away, it was not defective, but an evolution.
This being lived as a human. It started at the age of four. It was an orphan from the start, being brought to an orphanage by a passing couple.
This being grew up in the orphanage. After a long time, it participated in a mandatory talent testing, but found that it had absolutely no talent for cultivation. Among humans, this was more shocking than if it had godly talent. However, living in a small area, it was simply seen as defective once again and ignored.
Like many other humans, it grew and lived as a mortal. This was until it reached the age of 20 and adopted a stray cat into its home.
This was the first time that the being had felt love. The cat relied on it, and as it did so, an unseeable golden thread left the cat and entered the body of the being.
This was where Zhou Fan started paying attention. That golden thread was a part of the beings path, something it had unknowingly created.
Days after the golden thread entered the body of the being, it felt its strength increase. It was as if he had become a cultivator, but he had no cultivation.
Still, with his newfound strength that reached the peak of his mortal area, he found an even greater job. Things started looking up for him.
