# Chapter 2062: The Thousand Stars Catastrophe
Everyone watched as Jiangnan's body slowly disintegrated, their hearts in their throats!
No one could figure out what state he was in right now!
Had he killed himself by using his Domain?
Zhong Yingxue was frantic, constantly swiping at the particles drifting into the air!
But she couldn't touch them, let alone intervene!
Di Chou stared wide-eyed, silently praying: Die! Just die!
Xia Yao urged anxiously: "Mila! Mila, go! Her ability might work!"
Without needing Xia Yao to say it, Lan was already carrying Mila over at full speed!
"Large-scale time reversal! Time-stop light sphere! Instant of time!"
A flood of time-based abilities were thrown, trying to stabilize Jiangnan's condition!
But Instant of Time failed — it couldn't latch onto Jiangnan at all!
Only the reversal beam and the stop sphere had some effect, but only barely!
The rate of Jiangnan's body disintegration slowed, but he was still decomposing!
His left arm, right leg, even his right hand had all dissolved into particles!
Mila cried in desperation: (#ᵒ̴̶̷̥́﹏ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀) "I feel like Brother Jiangnan isn't in front of me! What's going on?"
Black God's eyes flickered. Unsurprisingly, when Jiangnan used Black Hole Devouring Star and his body was at the very center of the black hole, his particles had been decomposed and elevated to a higher dimension!
Because his physical body couldn't exist inside the black hole's inner world!
Now that Jiangnan's will had returned, he needed to reconstitute his body, to reassemble the particles?
To burst back from a higher dimension to here!
But this process was clearly not easy — it was nothing to lose a few parts along the way!
And Jiangnan was using it for the first time, so he couldn't even figure out what state he was in!
...
Right now, Jiangnan felt like he was watching a giant holographic movie. He couldn't hear any sound. The world before his eyes was so real, and everything was happening for real!
But Jiangnan always felt like he couldn't integrate into it. He was like an observer, a viewer — he couldn't even hear what they were saying!
It was like there was an invisible, unbreakable film before his eyes, always preventing him from coming back!
So Jiangnan had been constantly clawing at it with his hands, trying to tear that film apart. But now he couldn't claw anymore!
His hands were gone, his legs were gone!
Jiangnan could feel that even his internal organs were dissolving. It didn't hurt, but it felt empty!
Seeing Mila crying in desperation, Jiangnan grew anxious too. His will to return became incredibly strong!
"Mila, don't cry! Big brother is coming back! Coming back to hold you!"
I belong here! Why won't you let me go home!
Enraged, Jiangnan slammed his head fiercely against that "film"!
It felt like he broke through some barrier in the void. His body stumbled forward two steps!
He pulled Mila into his arms. This hug was real, warm!
Now Jiangnan was no longer illusory!
Mila's eyes lit up with surprise: "Brother Jiangnan is back! You..."
Before she could finish, Jiangnan coughed up a mouthful of old blood, his face turning pale at a visible rate!
His left arm, right hand, right leg, and some internal organs were missing — the cuts were clean and smooth, blood gushing out wildly!
His aura was frighteningly chaotic, completely unrecognizable from the Dao Heaven Seven Stars level!
Mila was terrified: "I'll heal you right away! Single-target time reversal!"
Under the reversal beam, the gushing blood flowed back frantically, and the blood he'd coughed up was strangely swallowed back in!
But the missing parts showed no sign of growing back at all!
Mila was stunned. It didn't work?
"How can it not work?"
Xiao Chuihuo's mouth twitched: "This... this should be Dao Injury, right? What's gone is gone — it can't be healed, and it won't grow back!"
Xiao Chuihuo had a lot of experience with Dao Injuries. Back when he was Dao Heaven Two Stars, he forcibly used a Domain prototype!
He capsized, Dao Injury afflicted him, and that's how his leg was ruined!
Although Jiangnan was Dao Heaven Seven Stars, his Domain was too terrifying — very complete, almost fully formed!
For a Dao Heaven Rank to forcibly use it, the price was enormous!
Why was Transcendent Rank called Transcendent? It was because Odin felt that at that level, he had shed his mortal flesh, achieving an evolution in life form!
That's why he gave it that name!
If Jiangnan had used it at Transcendent Rank, the result might have been different. But it was uncertain whether his Domain would become even more terrifying!
After all, Jiangnan never cared about levels or anything — he just used it when he felt like it!
Black God rubbed his forehead: "You came back! But you're crippled now, right? That's fine too — why ask for a bicycle when you have this? That was a Black Hole!"
Jiangnan: ???
What do you mean, crippled? Can't grow back? One leg short, one long? No hands?
No, no, no!
I could accept everything else — missing some parts is no big deal!
But...
Jiangnan used his wrist to pull down the waistband of his pants, lowered his head, and peeked down!
(ଵ～ଵ‧̣̥̇)
(;´༎ຶ口༎ຶ`) "Ahhh—!"
A groundhog-like scream echoed through the starry sky. Jiangnan started crying on the spot!
Mila curiously tried to peek inside, but Zhong Yingxue immediately covered her eyes!
But she couldn't help sneaking a glance herself, her mouth twitching!
(⚆～⚆;)
Xia Yao swallowed: (งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "Is... is it still there?"
Could it be that some important parts were gone too?
Little Nan... he...
Everyone's expressions grew strange!
Black God casually waved his hand:
●ゞ "Ahhh, stop howling! Just find another one! I have many models in my collection!"
"Besides, didn't you tell me you were often insecure about that? Now it's gone — that's fine! What matters is that you're back!"
Wang Youzhi said reluctantly:
(｡･ˇ_ˇ･) "If it comes to it, I'll give you mine!"
Pang Badi covered his face: Would he even want that? Guys, we really need to have some self-awareness at a time like this!
Jiangnan panicked. What do you mean, it's gone?!
The price of using a Domain was too huge! Missing hands and feet was bad enough, but now he wasn't even complete?
He'd gone from being a "wood" to really being a "man"?!
Jiangnan's expression hardened. He immediately pulled out an Addictive Small Fire Jar and tossed it to Xia Yao!
(ಠĹ̯ಠ˵) "Pull! Pull it out! This star can't be given up!"
Xia Yao swallowed: (•︠﹏•︡) "For... for real? You're sure about this?"
Jiangnan nodded solemnly:
(˵ಠĹ̯ಠ˵) "Pull! For happiness!"
Zhong Yingxue nodded too:
(︶◠︶〃) "Pull it! Otherwise there's no future!"
Jiangnan: ???
Xia Yao hesitated no longer. She slammed the Small Fire Jar onto Jiangnan's back — Right Spin Star Severing!
In theory, Jiangnan's Dao Heaven Seven Stars were now crippled due to the Dao Injuries from using his Domain!
If he plucked this crippled star and dropped back to Dao Heaven Six, then Jiangnan would be whole again — it might even heal him!
After all, that was how Grandpa Xiao and the others had gotten through it!
With a "pop" sound, the Star Severing was complete. But the star that came out was extremely dim, gray and hazy!
Jiangnan ate a few Small Ginsengs and activated his Blood Drain ability fully!
Just as expected, his crippled body frantically repaired itself. His hands, feet, internal organs, and all missing parts grew back!
He recovered to his original state in an instant, though his aura weakened slightly — now at Dao Heaven Six Stars. But one star was nothing — he could cultivate it back!
Although he'd lost a star, Jiangnan felt completely at ease. At least he had survived!
He turned his head to look at Di Chou and the others, a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth!
Last time they met, the situation wasn't like this!
Back then, whatever they said, he could only bow his head and take it. But now it was different. He could stand tall and be a "wood" in front of all these Star Devourers!
Di Chou and the others, watching Jiangnan "come back to life" at the cost of one star, felt their hearts sink to the bottom of the abyss!
Jiangnan had to die! His Domain was no ordinary thing — his momentum was too strong. Given time, it wasn't impossible for him to surpass Jiang Fan!
Jiangnan stood in the Dimensional Gap, spreading his arms with a smile: "So? Do you like the big gift I gave you?"
"27 minutes! Humanity has written a miracle!"
Earlier, their minds had all been focused on killing Jiangnan!
Now Di Chou and the others finally had the attention to look at what had become of the Thousand Stars City!
But that single glance almost gave Di Chou a cerebral hemorrhage!
The four Space Wormhole gates were destroyed. A total of 41,722 stationed planets in the inner and outer rings of the central Thousand Stars Domain had been obliterated!
The Sacred Law Star Palace had been blown to the sky. On the northwest face of Wanxiang Star, there were giant craters like freckles and pockmarks!
Countless interstellar cities had been destroyed. Even though Wang Youzhi's ancestor army had retreated and the planet thrusters had been dismantled, Wanxiang Star was still circling through the Thousand Stars Domain due to inertia!
Throwing the entire Thousand Stars Domain into utter chaos!
The hardest hit was the central star domain. Almost none of the stationed planets of the Top Ten Sequences had escaped unscathed!
And even though the fighting had stopped, the hundred-million-strong Idiot Divine Machine Legion and the Idiot Divine Machine Star, reduced to half, were still diligently causing destruction everywhere, still in their Water-heating mode!
For all of this, Jiangnan had only used 27 minutes!
Not only had he torn the Thousand Stars City to shreds, he had even dug up the very foundation walls!
The casualties among the ten thousand races numbered in the billions. Floating planet fragments everywhere, billowing smoke everywhere — it was hard to imagine this was the center of stellar civilization!
This was far more severe than the Thousand Stars Rebellion over 3,000 years ago. He had perfectly demonstrated what it meant to use numbers to overwhelm!
The Star Devourers watched this scene, feeling the blood rush to their heads, nearly going berserk on the spot!
Noah twitched at the corner of his mouth too!
He had imagined what the Thousand Stars City might look like, but never this bad!
This place was like a Star River Graveyard, a junkyard of scrap — was this really that brilliant Thousand Stars City?
Jiangnan hadn't lied — demolition was truly his specialty!
He had pushed these two hands a bit too hard. What Jiangnan had given him was no longer a surprise but a shock!
And this event was destined to be remembered by all the races of the starry sky, written into the history of the stars!
