Chapter 2329: I Am Spokesperson Sakura! I Speak for Jiangnan!
With the release of Black Hole Devouring Star, Jiangnan’s will once again arrived at that familiar sea of energy!
Counting this time, this was already his third visit!
Above the sea of energy, countless possibilities of the past, present, and future coexisted simultaneously, like a revolving kaleidoscope, pages of a book dancing!
If the four-dimensional world was a thick book threaded together by a timeline, able to be flipped through freely,
Then this place was an entire bookshelf—countless different choices creating countless different pasts, presents, and futures, spawning countless books!
However, the reality that truly existed in the three-dimensional world, Jiangnan’s present, was only one!
Jiangnan forcefully resisted the urge to look at the pages of the future, because that could very well kill off future possibilities!
But since he had come all this way, he couldn’t just leave empty-handed, could he?
Since he couldn’t easily peek into the future, what about looking at the past belonging to his own reality?
The past was already fixed—real events that had happened. Looking at it once shouldn’t have any effect, right?
Thinking about it, Jiangnan couldn’t help but feel a little excited!
After finding the page belonging to his own reality, he went wild reading backward along this line!
There had always been a regret in Jiangnan’s heart, one he rarely brought up in front of others, always keeping a smile on his face.
He wanted to see who his parents were and why they had left him at the orphanage’s doorstep.
Why they didn’t want him…
He was outstanding—so outstanding that countless people envied him, a child any parent would be proud of.
Why had they abandoned him? What was wrong with him?
His surname Jiang came from Jiangcheng, and Nan was because he was a boy.
He didn’t even know his father’s surname…
Jiangnan searched forward relentlessly, determined to see why he had been abandoned back then.
Who his parents were!
Finally, Jiangnan found the page belonging to the past.
It was a winter night. In front of the orphanage sat a cardboard box, inside of which was a tiny Nan wrapped in a thin cotton quilt.
At that moment, tiny Nan was crying loudly, chubby little hands grabbing randomly at the air. The winter night was cold; even his crying breath came out as white mist. The street was empty, with few people.
The cries echoed in front of the silent orphanage, and the bitten-off pacifier had fallen aside…
Soon, an aunt in pajamas rushed out of the orphanage in a hurry!
She picked up tiny Nan from the cardboard box and wrapped him tightly in the cotton quilt.
"Oh~ oh~ oh~ don’t cry, don’t cry, okay~ good baby, good baby!"
While soothing the tiny Nan in her arms, she craned her neck to look out at the street.
"How could they be parents? Dumping their own child here in the dead of winter in the middle of the night? Lucky I heard the crying and woke up, or he’d freeze to death by morning."
"Ah~ poor little one~ your mom and dad don’t want you anymore, but Auntie does, Auntie does, okay! Don’t cry, don’t cry!"
Jiangnan watched this scene quietly. He remembered this aunt who had held him—Aunt Liu. When he was a kid and got into trouble, Aunt Liu was strict with him! She even rapped his knuckles…
If he flipped back one more page, he could see who his parents were.
He could…
He could what?
In the end, Jiangnan’s gaze didn’t go back any further. Not because he couldn’t see, but because he suddenly didn’t want to know anymore…
If he knew who his parents were, then what?
Find them and ask them why they hadn’t wanted him back then? Make them regret abandoning him?
Call two strangers Dad and Mom? How would he face them? They might not even be alive anymore…
Maybe they abandoned him because the family was too poor to raise him, maybe his birth was an accident, maybe…
No matter what, it didn’t matter anymore. Jiangnan had long stopped hoping for even a shred of love from his parents. The past was the past!
He now had friends, brothers, elders who cared about him, and a girl he liked…
He was already very happy. Why bother dwelling on the past and making himself miserable?
Faced with the myriad races of the starry sky and several Star-Swallowing powerhouses, this Nan who had never backed down couldn’t muster the courage when it came to his own background and his parents’ issues.
In the end, Jiangnan didn’t look at the preceding pages anymore. In the future… he probably wouldn’t think about it again.
Instead, he turned his gaze to a different time!
Jiangnan still had a question. That was before the Thousand Star Calamity, when he had knelt in front of the Star Source Stele, crying sadly with Uncle Li.
At that time, he had been lost, confused about whether to fight or not, whether to tear down the Thousand Stars City. To fight or accept his fate.
And a voice had told him,
Saying, "If you want to do it, just do it! As long as you want to, you can accomplish anything…"
Jiangnan remembered clearly—someone must have said that to him.
But when he looked back, no one was there.
Jiangnan wanted to see what really happened that day.
He smoothly found the page from that moment in the past.
He was leaning his head against the stele, crying sorrowfully. Suddenly, he turned his head sharply, only to see Da Lang Mie approaching.
She pushed him down and kissed him…
After carefully watching the entire process, Jiangnan was confused. There was no one!
No one had spoken to him! No figure of anyone!
Then who had said that sentence to him? Was it his illusion? How was that possible?
After checking out the past, Jiangnan was even more baffled. He wanted to look some more, but was suddenly jolted awake!
Not good, not good. His will was already showing signs of dissipating. He couldn’t stay in the sea of energy too long!
He would die!
Without hesitation, Jiangnan dove straight toward his own reality!
In the end, Jiangnan still couldn’t figure out who said that sentence, and the doubt in his heart only grew larger.
……
Above the Northern Crown Star Capital, within the static black hole that had been motionless, two red lights finally flickered to life!
Zhong Yingxue and Wang Youzhi also breathed a sigh of relief. This meant the black hole had awakened—Jiangnan’s will had returned!
The black hole, as if activating a sprint, directly accelerated from a stationary state to an terrifyingly fast speed!
It charged straight toward the Northern Crown Star in the very center of the Northern Crown Star Capital!
As soon as it touched the energy shield of the Northern Crown Star Capital—a shield capable of withstanding attacks from a Half-Step Star Devourer—the shield was instantly torn to shreds by the black hole’s gravitational field!
Like a fragile eggshell, it provided no protection at all!
Thus, it violently broke through the defense and fell directly into the Northern Crown Star Capital!
The powerful gravitational field pulled the enormous Northern Crown Star out of its orbit!
More than a dozen surrounding planets were all dragged over by the black hole, including two nearby stars!
As soon as the black hole moved, it caused such a big commotion!
Those stragglers from the Northern Crown who had already escaped the area had their eyes nearly popping out!
Σ(꒪ͦ口꒪ͦ|||) Holy crap!
What kind of world-destroying operation was this? Black Hole Devouring Star? You’re really going to devour it?
During the Thousand Star Calamity, Jiangnan’s black hole had only existed for a short while before disappearing.
Now it not only existed, but it could also move?
At this moment, even the people watching from the dimensional gap through the void hole were scared to death!
Pang Badi grabbed his head, his hair standing on end:
୧(Ŏ口Ŏ|||)୨ "Goodness! What kind of freak domain is this? Is Nan Shen trying to defy the heavens or what?"
Wu Liang’s mouth twitched: "Attacking more than a dozen planets at once—is this really just a Planet Destroyer?"
Wang Youzhi was holding a basket of snacks—sunflower seeds, drinks, mineral water—and handing them out to everyone!
٩(°ꇴ°〃) "Don’t just watch! Have some snacks, too? The exciting part is still to come! Hehehe~"
"I think Jiangnan wants to gather an accretion disk and try out a Black Hole Jet! The Black Hole Devouring Star domain isn’t just limited to this kind of use!"
Everyone looked at the snacks in their hands, utterly speechless. Boss Nan Shen was out there wrecking the Northern Crown Star Capital, and they were here as guests watching the show, which was bad enough.
Eating snacks was going too far!
Chong Feiyu hesitated: (๑◔～◔ิ) "Is… is this really okay for us to do?"
Wang Youzhi stuffed a handful of popcorn into his mouth and said vaguely:
(。ˇ〰ˇ。) "If you want, you can go out and help him wreck it. You’re a Star Devourer after all! It wouldn’t be that easy to get killed in an eight-against-one!"
Chong Feiyu shuddered hard, looked at the rampaging black hole, and turned pale.
(̿▀̿̿﹏▀̿̿٥)̄ "Forget it. It’s better to watch the show!"
Eight against one? Chong Feiyu knew her own limits—she couldn’t take that!
"Boom! Rumble!"
The Northern Crown Star was directly torn apart by the powerful tidal forces, the celestial body collapsing!
The surface shattered, magma erupted—let alone the buildings on top!
Even the stars were dragged over and torn apart by the black hole, pulling crimson high-temperature plasma currents that spun endlessly around the black hole!
More than a dozen planets were torn to pieces in an instant by Jiangnan, compressed into dense matter by the powerful gravity!
They formed an accretion disk orbiting the black hole. Because two stars had been torn apart, the accretion disk was tinged with a ring of orange-red light!
Extremely spectacular!
But just this accretion disk alone was far from enough for a Black Hole Jet!
Jiangnan wasn’t satisfied. He started moving to the left, extremely fast!
The accretion disk didn’t make the black hole bloated or hard to move—in fact, it made it even faster, and its power increased significantly!
Just as Jiangnan was about to take a spin around the Northern Crown Star Capital and tear through it,
Di Chou, Yu Gen, Noah, Gu Ruide, and others arrived one after another!
Noah widened his eyes and couldn’t help but clap his hands:
(*ﾟﾛﾟ)!! "Oh? It’s gotten this big? It’s more than ten times bigger than the one at Thousand Stars City! And it can move? Hmm~"
Even Noah couldn’t help but marvel at Jiangnan’s terrifying growth speed!
How long had it been? And Jiangnan had been locked up in the Ming He Death Prison for three months!
Di Chou was furious: (damnꐦ) "Jiangnan! F**king stop right now! Dimensional Annihilation!"
A highly concentrated Dimensional Annihilation blasted into the black hole, but the black hole was perfectly fine, still sucking away!
Four-dimensional descent? It was no match for a black hole!
Just then, Qian Benying gathered her courage and shouted loudly:
|∗ᵒ̶̶̷̀﹏˂̶́)ﾉ "Yo… yo~ little bro! I told you we’d meet again!"
"Didn’t you want to know what kind of tricks I had? Now you’ve seen them, haven’t you?"
"Satisfied? If you have the ability, come and stop me! What’s the use of just yelling? Hmph! You’re nothing!"
Di Chou!!! The killing intent in his gaze was almost tangible!
(ꐦ◣益◢)☛ "You dead pink-haired girl! Say that again if you dare?"
Qian Benying was directly scared stiff by Di Chou’s glare, turned into cherry blossoms, and scattered away!
୧(☍﹏⁰❀)୨ "Jiangnan! Jiangnan told me to say it! I am Spokesperson Sakura! I speak for Jiangnan!"
"If you want to vent, go find Jiangnan! It has nothing to do with me! Also… I don’t have a pair! I won’t say it a second time!"
Di Chou was furious: (ꐦథ益థ)σ "You motherf***er…"
Was that what being a spokesperson meant?
