The eyes of everyone had temporarily changed into a myriad of colors due to the change in cultivation. Technically, anyone who had ever absorbed a tiny bit of Qi would experience this, and every living being naturally absorbed Qi, regardless of whether or not they cultivated.
For a moment, the entire heaven galaxy was silent. From within the river, Zhou Fan swiped his finger and wiped out all the cultivation of every member of the five races.
The only people that would not have their cultivation changed would be the beings born on the heaven world and the beast world.
It had taken some thought, but Zhou Fan felt that the cultivators of the five races had not spent enough time cultivating to really feel the effects.
He also just wanted to see pangu's growth after cultivation 1.0 was established.
While resetting every member of the 5 races cultivation sounded bad, it actually brought many major benefits. Those who had been stuck at the same realm would be able to recultivate and not make as many mistakes as before.
After resetting all members of the five races cultivation, Zhou Fan waited as cultivation 1.0 permeated throughout the heaven galaxy.
Replacing cultivation was not a simple process. It had taken more than a hundred thousand years to plan such a thing out, and that was after Zhou Fan had accumulated more than hundreds of thousands of years of knowledge.
At any moment, something could go horribly wrong, and Zhou Fan needed to stay alert for that very moment.
Luckily, he was a genius. For the next three days, everything went smoothly. On the dawn of the fourth day, the beings suspended in the air fell back down into their original positions. Many didn't even realize that something had happened until they checked their clocks and noticed the position of the sun.
Some people, those at the void traversing realm and above, were able to tell that something was about to happen moments before it did.
Despite that, they had no idea what had happened until they started cultivating. A difference could be felt immediately.
Naturally, this was the situation of those in the heaven world and the beast world. Members of the five races were facing a much bigger and more obvious problem.
Within a day of cultivation 1.0 being implemented, even mortals were aware that cultivation had been reset for everyone.
Some people felt burdened and saddened as they had to work many years and used to enjoy their superiority over those with more talent but less time to cultivate.
Many of the younger cultivators were overjoyed at the news, knowing they would no longer have to bow to anyone with lower talent than them.
Even pangu was thrilled hearing the news. He had been born late and was suppressed by others due to his talent, causing him to cultivate even slower than he should have.
He wasn't exactly looking for revenge as he wasn't directly suppressed and only lost opportunities and pills, but he was not going to let anyone get off scot free.
In the last day, Heaven had gotten his cultivation back and was going over the worlds within his galaxy. He did not enjoy the feeling of being a mortal.
While the five races' entire history had been overturned, the beast world and the heaven world were testing out the new cultivation, and heaven was enjoying being powerful again, Zhou Fan was thinking hard, still within the river of cultivation.
As of now, he was in a state of recovery. The entire process of changing cultivation had taken his Qi. He nearly fell into Qi exhaustion, but everything stopped before then.
Most of his thoughts were filled with heaven. Although he wasn't disappointed with heaven, he was disappointed with himself.
While Heaven had definitely been a partial success and was doing the best he could with what he had, he wasn't quite what Zhou Fan had originally wanted him to be.
To start off with, he had a personality. Zhou Fan had envisioned an indifferent, neutral, and almighty ruler.
Secondly, he was not powerful enough. Zhou Fan had wrongly assumed that Heaven would be able to completely see the entire galaxy at once.
Sadly, a major miscalculation was made. Heaven was not Zhou Fan. He had neither the talent of Zhou Fan nor the power.
If Zhou Fan was at the 1st level of the inner world realm, being able to fully see an entire galaxy at one would be no issue.
But, once again, heaven was not Zhou Fan. If Heaven was going to see the entire galaxy at once, he needed to at least be in the god realm.
As Zhou Fan was in the god realm, that was not possible.
It was annoying, disappointing, and could almost be considered a failure at testing a universal consciousness, but all the blame rested on Zhou Fan's shoulders.
He was too weak and too soft. At any moment he could have or could eliminate heavens personality and make him similar to a robot with a human mind. However, Zhou Fan hadn't thought of such a thing at the beginning, and liked heaven too much to do it now.
As for the lack of power, that should explain itself.
Zhou Fan sighed before standing up, fully recovered as his thoughts were spanned over multiple days.
The only course of action was to continue letting things play out and hopefully be surprised.
In the worst case scenario, he would make another heaven when he was stronger and make the current heaven his subordinate or something.
That was only in the absolute worst case.
As Zhou Fan exited the isolated space that the river of cultivation was contained in, he took in a deep breath of fresh space.
Although the new cultivation had zero effect on him, it was still pretty nice to be around it.
He would continue cultivating as normal since he obviously couldn't change cultivation on the same realm as himself. Even if he did, it would once again not affect him. He was one of the exceptions that he had told Heaven about over and over again.
Although not all exceptions would be able to bypass cultivation 1.0, there was a possibility of one being born.
