# Chapter 2758: Witnessing All Glory! That Moment of Eternity...
Staring at the sky-covering giant hand smashing down from above, Jiangnan's face was filled with madness!
Countless two-dimensional fragments scattered in an instant—no longer necessary!
The energy within his body erupted once again beyond its peak, as if trying to burn Jiangnan himself to ashes!
His black hair flew wildly in the wind!
Jiangnan took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
"Boom!"
Infinite golden flames burst from his body. In this moment, Jiangnan shone as brilliantly as a blazing sun!
When he opened his eyes again, he looked up at the sky. There was nothing else in his gaze—only the descending sky-covering giant hand!
With one hand, he grasped, and a golden blade of will materialized in his palm.
"Then let's go again!"
In that instant, Jiangnan shot toward the sky like a golden meteor!
His tiny figure was so insignificant, yet it drew all eyes!
Like a mayfly trying to topple a tree, he slashed down at the world-destroying grasp!
"Slash!"
The word "slash" echoed through the gale—a roar from the depths of his heart that even the fierce wind could not shatter!
A golden blade light erupted in that instant, stretching infinitely across the horizon, blazing with extreme brilliance!
The sky-covering giant hand formed by the world-destroying grasp was split in two on the spot, and the blade light continued to extend!
As if trying to break through the blockade of the gale and cut into the starry sky itself!
Lin Qing, watching from the side, was astonished by this scene. She couldn't help but clap her hands and give Jiangnan a thumbs-up.
"That slash just now... very cool!"
"But... not enough!"
The world-destroying grasp, severed in two, dissipated into nothingness. But before Jiangnan could catch his breath—
Another sky-covering giant hand formed on the side, smashing horizontally toward Jiangnan!
Xu Pingsheng's eyes were fixed on Jiangnan, filled with wild arrogance!
Under the beating of the Eternal Heart, his voice seemed to echo right beside Jiangnan's ear, as if saying:
"Kid, don't underestimate me. I have journeyed through life, trampled over countless bones, cut through thorns, risen in chaotic times, and finally reached the foot of the summit—and died here in battle!"
"This strike is the last moment of my life—a strike where I gambled everything to achieve what I sought in my heart! Can the conviction in your heart truly surpass mine?"
"Do you have the qualification to bear the Eternal Heart? Are you truly ready? The weak... cannot witness eternity!"
In the blink of an eye, the world-destroying grasp smashed down again!
If its power hadn't been stripped away, Jiangnan would have died twice by now!
Jiangnan gritted his teeth and charged silently toward the world-destroying grasp once more.
Yeah? What right did he have to think that the conviction in his heart was greater than that of these predecessors' lingering shadows?
Every being that left a shadow in the eternal gale was an unparalleled genius—one in a billion!
At the last moment of their lives, how resolute was the conviction with which they gambled everything?
Jiangnan didn't know if he could surpass them.
But he knew even more clearly:
If you don't act, you achieve nothing!
The blade of will slashed out again, even fiercer than before by three degrees!
Yet still, it could not overcome the conviction contained within the world-destroying grasp!
The sky-covering giant hand formed again, slamming down at Jiangnan!
Time and again...
Jiangnan was almost completely worn down. Even the blade of will grew dimmer with each strike.
But he still couldn't win.
At this rate, being crushed to death was only a matter of time.
Lin Qing looked on with concern:
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷～ᵒ̴̶̷) "Should he continue? The height of this era is far below that of the Eternal Era!"
"This is like asking Jiangnan to compete with the peak existences of the late Eternal Era. Isn't it too unfair?"
"He hasn't fully matured yet. His potential is still sufficient. Maybe we should wait a little longer. I can hold out for a while..."
But Black God watched calmly as Jiangnan was thoroughly battered by the world-destroying grasp...
"There has never been fairness in this world since ancient times. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't, you can't..."
"Just watch. He can do it... If there were no dreams in his heart, Jiangnan wouldn't have come this far."
"Just like you once did..."
Lin Qing's gaze dimmed. She lowered her head to look at the crystal long flute tucked at Black God's waist and murmured:
"But my dream shattered... everything ended after all..."
Black God gazed into the infinite gale:
"But even at the last moment, you still held onto that naive dream, didn't you? At least you tried your best..."
"I didn't understand before—why do something when you already know the outcome? Now I understand... Life was never about living just to be alive."
"It's about living to chase dreams. Dreams give meaning to life."
The two of them sat together on a fragment of a shattered star, watching Jiangnan's solitary battle within the gale.
Their legs dangled, just like the Starry Night and Lin Qing of long ago...
Lin Qing smiled:
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷◡ᵒ̴̶̷) "It seems he taught you a lot..."
Black God remained silent, just watching quietly.
...
On the battlefield, Jiangnan's body emitted a pained groan of unbearable strain. Every cell was being squeezed dry, his will nearly shattered from the torment.
He could barely remember how many palm strikes he had endured.
And he felt all the more clearly the weight of Xu Pingsheng's conviction.
Demon Lord Clan? Among the ten thousand races of the starry sky, that race no longer existed. Everything had been ground away by the wheel of time!
Who among the living still remembered Xu Pingsheng—the one who once dominated the world, soaring across the starry sky, covering the sky with one hand?
But he too had existed, shone, and fought for what he sought in his heart!
Was all that past glory to be swept away by the wind?
Lin Qing didn't want that, and neither did Jiangnan!
Someone must remember it all, bear their convictions, and keep moving forward!
There was no time to stagnate!
In that moment, Jiangnan dropped all his defenses. He looked up at the wildly smashing world-destroying grasp and hoarsely murmured...
"You know? The conviction in my heart... is no weaker than yours..."
In that instant, the golden flame of will on Jiangnan's body suddenly transformed!
No longer gold, it turned into a brilliant, colorful radiance, beautiful as a colorful oil painting—that was the color of dreams!
The dream in his heart erupted. He had no reason to retreat here!
A blade of conviction formed in Jiangnan's hand. The moment it took shape, without any hesitation, he slashed down!
The blade light spilled like moonlight, drawing a gorgeous curtain of light, as if about to transform into a rainbow and fly away!
With one slash, the world-destroying grasp was severed in two, completely collapsing with no sign of reforming!
Xu Pingsheng's wind shadow looked at Jiangnan, the battle intent in his eyes gone.
He gave Jiangnan one deep, long look, and then the wind shadow itself dissipated.
A voice seemed to echo in Jiangnan's heart...
"Kid... I acknowledge you. This is everything I have left in this world. Take it well..."
"And then... walk on for me..."
"That was my final glory. Let that moment become eternity. Don't let it gather dust..."
"Thank you..."
Within the Eternal Heart, the last of Xu Pingsheng's will faded away. Countless chaotic thoughts surged into Jiangnan's mind, fragmentary images flashing past...
Jiangnan knew—that was Xu Pingsheng's story.
He finally understood the origin of this conviction!
During the Cosmic War, Xu Pingsheng stood at the front lines, with the myriad lights of the Demon Lord Clan behind him.
He could not lose—losing meant losing everything.
So in this battle, he had gambled everything, given his all!
That conviction was the determination to protect others!
That was why this strike was so heavy!
But he still lost. History has told us everything. The Demon Lord Clan no longer exists—they were ended in the Cosmic War.
No one remembers them...
Yet the brilliance of Xu Pingsheng's final moment was recorded by the eternal gale.
And now, it had fallen upon Jiangnan.
Within the Eternal Heart, the energy belonging to Xu Pingsheng surged forth, frantically pouring into Jiangnan, replenishing his energy and healing all his injuries!
That conviction also became Jiangnan's conviction, like adding a pot of hot oil to an already blazing fire!
Jiangnan's own willpower skyrocketed, burning like a blazing torch, dazzling and radiant!
Everything about the world-destroying grasp was now clearly understood by Jiangnan.
Just as Xu Pingsheng had said, he had entrusted everything he left in this world to Jiangnan.
Jiangnan would carry his share and walk on together.
Until eternity!
Jiangnan stood there frozen, tears unconsciously streaming down his cheeks, his nose stinging with bitterness.
He wiped the teardrops from his face...
Strange... This wasn't his story, yet why did it feel so familiar, as if he had experienced it himself?
Looking at the wind shadow that had dissipated into nothingness before him...
Jiangnan's chest felt tight.
And then, another wind shadow took shape, hands behind its back, looking toward Jiangnan!
The extreme gravity around it twisted, blurring its figure!
Lin Qing continued: "Yue Liang of the Stardust Clan, a cosmos-level figure, the center of the Eternal Era's storms!"
"He created Instant Eternity and was revered by the world as the Unfalling Pale Moon. He died in the Cosmic War!"
"Experience the conviction in his heart at the moment the pale moon fell!"
Jiangnan's scalp tingled. The Stardust Clan?
Even today, the Stardust Clan remains a colossus, occupying a top-ten sequence position!
One could imagine how overwhelmingly powerful their ancestors must have been during the Cosmic War to pave the way for future generations, laying the foundation that allowed the Stardust Clan to cross the Cosmic War and survive to this day!
Jiangnan composed himself, reigniting the battle intent in his eyes, gripping the blade of will tightly!
"Born in the Thousand Stars Era, as a junior—to have the opportunity to fight to my heart's content with the brilliant predecessors of the Eternal Era!"
"Blessed! Willing!"
"Let me witness all glory and behold the eternity of the final moments of our predecessors' lives!"
"I want to see, even more, how far the conviction in my heart can carry me!"
"Come! Let's fight!"
