**Chapter 2196: What Else Do You Have to Fear?**
Yakeli only knew that this was wrong, incorrect, but had never looked at the essence through the problem!
Such rules, such systems, might be the inevitable outcome of the starry sky's development!
If it were done all over again, it would probably still be the same!
He shouted that he wanted to change things, but didn't have the power, nor did he know what method to use!
Kill everyone in the world? Destroy everything?
Even if he really succeeded, what then? The same path would only be walked again, just like how rivers all flow to the same end—the sea!
Yakeli slumped to the ground in defeat, his face full of bitterness.
"Does the beautiful starry sky world I dream of really exist…?"
Jiangnan took a deep breath. "We only know that the slave system is wrong, a mistaken direction of development that has strangled too many possibilities. I don't know what the right direction is either!"
"It requires exploring little by little. Maybe the direction we find anew will also be wrong, but at least it's a change made to this world!"
"When you have the determination to change the world, you've already stood at the starting point. All that's left is for you to walk the rest of the way!"
"Perhaps when we stand at the peak of the starry sky, looking down upon the myriad races and all living beings, we will find that answer, and then we will have the power to change all of this."
Yakeli smiled bitterly. "Don't talk big there. Become the peak of the starry sky? Who among the world dares to claim they will definitely ascend to the ultimate peak?"
"The method you speak of is too difficult, too distant. How can one reach such a level?"
Jiangnan squinted. "If you don't even dare to think about it, how can you talk about doing it? You can't become fat by taking one bite!"
"This goal is indeed distant! So distant it can't even be seen. Then just walk step by step. Become the maker of rules, change the rules, negate this world!"
"Shape the world bit by bit into what you want it to be. The Holy Star must be eradicated! The countless Star Ruins inside the Starfall Round Hall must also be liberated!"
"At least on this matter, our interests and goals are aligned. So, are you willing to entrust your power to me? Give it a try! I'll give you back the world you want."
Yakeli's eyes narrowed, his brow's blood pupil staring intently at Jiangnan. The air in the prison cell was eerily silent.
Wang Youzhi looked at Jiangnan, his eyes shining brightly, the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifting.
He had to admit, Jiangnan's ambition was really great. Didn't like it? Then change it!
Negating this world required courage, and putting it into action required even more courage.
Although Jiangnan was still pathetically weak, what he wanted to change was the structure of the starry sky, the essence of the world!
He wasn't crushed by this goal, so vast it was out of reach; instead, he was full of motivation?
It seemed the road ahead would be very interesting. Thinking this, Wang Youzhi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Chong Feiyu tilted her head, looking at Jiangnan and Yakeli with confusion.
(๑•̌～•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
What were these two talking about? Making the world into what they wanted?
But Yakeli still shook his head. "This is too hard. I can't see any hope. It's no easier than my method of destroying the world! It's even harder!"
"If I follow you, what can I accomplish? In this starry sky filled with powerful beings, I, Yakeli, am too insignificant. I'm nothing... I..."
But Jiangnan's eyes sharpened. He leaned forward and slammed one hand heavily against the wall beside Yakeli's head.
*Thump*—directly cornered Yakeli against the wall!
Chong Feiyu's eyes sparkled: (ง✪⥎✪)ง
So juicy! Hehe～
Yakeli's pupils contracted sharply, while Jiangnan stared straight into his eyes.
"You damn well aren't even afraid of death! What else do you have to fear? Afraid you can't do it? Afraid all your efforts will come to nothing in the end?"
"You already have nothing! For the sake of this unrealistic ideal, you can even give up your life. What else can't you give up?"
"You have the courage to strike against this starry sky, even to destroy the world! But don't you have the courage to throw yourself into it, take the first step, and change the world?"
"Or are you just talking about it, and everything you've done is just to find psychological comfort for your own incompetence?"
Yakili gritted his steel teeth, glaring fiercely at Jiangnan. Their faces were almost touching.
"I am not! I'm serious! I can swear by my own name!"
Jiangnan used his forehead to push Yakili back directly.
"Then do it! Carry out your will and ideals to the end!"
"You have your story! I have my past! I'm not interested in learning about your history, but at least at this moment, our goals are aligned!"
"Give me everything you have! I'll give you back the world you want! Maybe this process will be very long!"
"But one day! I will accomplish it!"
Yakili glared hard at Jiangnan. "I don't trust you! I don't trust anyone! And I don't want to be a blade in your hand!"
Hearing this, Jiangnan laughed instead and stood up.
"You will think about it. I know you don't trust me, and you don't know if what I say is true or false."
"We can make a pact between us! You come with me! Listen to me! I won't ask you to help me with anything! You can watch and see if I'm worth trusting, if what I say is true!"
"If you don't think so, you can leave at any time and continue with your plan to kill everyone in the world. Of course, in that case, I won't sit idly by either, because you're someone I brought out, so I must be responsible for all your actions!"
"I'll send you back to Ming He Death Prison myself! But if you think I'm worth trusting, then become the blade in my hand! Cut through thorns and thistles for me, clear the obstacles, until the day we achieve our goal."
Yakili looked at Jiangnan, and the corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile.
"Are you so sure I'll come to trust you? Stop me? Send me back to Ming He Death Prison? Do you have what it takes?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll pretend to agree, then go back on my word once I'm out? Slaughter the starry sky? You can't control me."
Jiangnan smiled. "Since I want this blade, I naturally have to bear the risk of being cut by it."
"Of course! I'm confident I can handle you! The one who can bring you out of Minghe Star Domain can naturally send you back in!"
"So? Want to give it a try?"
As he spoke, he extended his fist toward Yakeli.
Yakeli's gaze flickered. Fine, I'll see if what you say is true or false, if you're worth entrusting myself to.
"If you lie to me, I'll kill you first, then kill everyone else. Don't think I can't do it."
Jiangnan smiled carefreely. "Suit yourself. If you can."
Yakeli took a deep breath. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he realized all four of his limbs had been smashed by Jiangnan.
His face darkened, but he struggled forward, slamming his forehead heavily against Jiangnan's fist!
"I'll go with you! Don't regret it!"
Jiangnan reached out and stuffed a handful of Small Ginseng into Yakeli's hand. "I haven't done anything I regret in my life."
In that instant, Yakeli's eyes flew wide open. His originally exhausted body surged with powerful strength, and his limbs regenerated from the broken ends!
His withered body visibly grew robust!
In an extremely short time, he returned to his peak state, rising from the ground.
His blood-colored crystal muscles, glowing with red light, looked like a perfect work of art.
(〃˘～˘) "So, how do we get out? Don't count on me to do any work."
Jiangnan rolled his eyes.
(꒪ั～꒪ั*) "I don't need you for that either. But let's get this straight: before you make your decision, you listen to me."
"I won't ask you to help; whether you act or not is entirely up to you! But without my permission, you can't just kill people randomly."
Yakili said impatiently, "Fine, fine."
Jiangnan didn't speak, but fixed a sharp gaze on Yakili.
Yakili's expression froze, and he muttered, "Okay."
Only then did Jiangnan grin, satisfied, and pat Yakili on the shoulder.
Chong Feiyu giggled.
(〃⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)۶ "Awesome! Crazy little bro +1! Little Ya, you've got potential, you know?"
As she spoke, she kept slapping Yakili on the back, even cracking his crystal muscles.
Yakili: (≖_≖ꐦ)…
Just wait until I get out. I'll have to properly deal with that swarm of yours!
Wang Youzhi grinned. The last passenger had boarded the bus. But whether it was a good blade or a ticking time bomb remained to be seen.
Still, given Jiangnan's skills, there seemed to be nothing to worry about.
Jiangnan turned and smiled. "Let's go～ We're going to kidnap Youming's goddaughter. We need a hostage to get us out."
"There's also some other preparations to make."
With that, he led Chong Feiyu and Yakeli out of the prison cell.
Meanwhile, Taro, Samo, Boden, Suona, Heigang, Damon, and the others had already assembled the Bully Gang underlings.
Men and women combined, close to ten thousand people!
All of them were good hands selected according to Jiangnan's standards during this period.
Some might not have been impressive inside Ming He Death Prison, but once out, with their shackles removed, they would be formidable fighters.
It was late at night. The crowd gathered densely in the Golden House and the corridors.
Everyone's heart was full of anticipation. Damon was a little nervous too.
Just then, Jiangnan arrived with Yakeli and the others to rendezvous.
As soon as they saw Yakeli, with his red-glowing, robust body, all the Bully Gang underlings gasped in shock, their eyes full of fear!
Samo and Boden leaped back and hugged Damon in a big jump! Suona and Taro hugged each other, trembling!
Heigang frantically looked for a corner to squat in. The rest of the underlings were almost pissing themselves in fear.
After all, during the riot, the Bully Gang underlings had done plenty of dirty tricks on Yakeli!
Especially Suona—the wiliest of them all!
Did Boss Nan Shen let Yakeli out too?
Suona stammered:
(♫☍﹏⁰) "B-B-Boss Nan Shen? He is…"
