# Chapter 2793: Stars!
A Central Park covered in greenery!
Jiang Fan appeared abruptly, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at everything around him, his expression dazed...
Jiangnan followed closely, somewhat worried: "Brother Fan? You..."
Jiang Fan didn't turn around, only said lightly: "It's nothing... Just wanted to look around. I don't like environments with too many people. Don't worry about me..."
Jiangnan paused, then shrank his neck and said "Oh," his expression also becoming somewhat complicated!
Perhaps he could understand how Jiang Fan felt right now...
There would be an extremely strong sense of dissonance, right?
Having been trapped in the black hole all this time, over three thousand years had passed in the outside world. The Blue Star in his memory had long since ceased to exist, buried under the passage of time...
Looking around, there wasn't a single familiar thing. Everything had changed with the passage of time!
Furthermore, there were no people from the same era left. Jiang Fan was the only one who had survived from the era of the First Spiritual Energy Awakening to the present!
Thinking back to the past, there wasn't even anyone to share memories with!
This era was crowded with people, but at this moment, Jiang Fan was completely alone...
The time that once belonged to him had been buried in history!
Thinking about it a little, one might understand how Jiang Fan felt!
But there is never true empathy in this world because the one who experienced it all was never you!
This hurdle could only be crossed by Jiang Fan himself!
Jiangnan felt a little sad. He hadn't considered things properly. If he had known, he wouldn't have taken Jiang Fan to the Commemorative Square...
Jiang Fan looked at the unfamiliar scenery around him, desperately trying to find some traces of the old days...
But there was nothing that matched.
This was where he was born, the tribal city on the grasslands...
But it was no longer what it once was!
Jiang Fan's expression remained unchanged, only silent...
Without staying any longer, his figure disappeared again. Jiangnan followed once more!
He knew that at times like this, it was best to let Jiang Fan be alone to calm down. But when he wanted to say something, share something...
Jiangnan hoped to be by his side!
That way, maybe he wouldn't feel so lonely?
After all, among the humans of this generation, the only one Jiang Fan was relatively familiar with was Jiangnan himself...
Jiang Fan's figure flickered continuously across Blue Star, appearing on grasslands, in cities, at crossroads, on snowy mountains, at archaeological sites!
But he didn't stay long at any place...
Looking at the mountains, they were gone; looking at the waters, they had dried up. Time really was merciless...
Jiangnan knew in his heart that these were probably important places for Jiang Fan from the past...
Just like Jiang City, Pioneer Academy was for Jiangnan...
Finally, Jiang Fan arrived at a cliff, standing before the rock face!
This was a scenic uninhabited area. The cliff was covered with vines!
Jiang Fan pushed aside the vines, revealing a few shallow scratch marks on the rock face!
They had weathered and eroded to the point where almost no trace of artificial carving could be seen...
Jiang Fan's expression was calm. Tens of thousands of stars appeared, and the dim time star lit up. His fingertip gently brushed...
The time at the cliff began to crazily reverse and flow backward. The carvings on the rock face gradually became clear. Only then did Jiangnan see clearly!
What was carved on the stone wall was:
"If I cannot win, I would rather die with you!"
Although it was just a short sentence, Jiangnan could feel the determination, the gritted-teeth resolve to give everything, and the hatred!
Jiangnan recognized it at a glance. The handwriting was the same as the inscription on the monument. It was personally carved by Jiang Fan!
Over three thousand years ago, what kind of situation had caused Jiang Fan to carve such a sentence under this cliff?
Jiang Fan looked down at the carving, saying calmly: "This place... was once a battlefield. Many people died here, including my former beloved..."
"Only I survived. I should have gone to die with them, but I didn't. I couldn't..."
Jiangnan's heart clenched tightly. He just listened quietly!
"Back then, besides hating my own powerlessness, I could do nothing. So I carved these words..."
"Ridiculously, even now, I still haven't achieved it. But at least the result was good..."
As he spoke, time shattered, everything dissipated like a bubble. The words on the cliff also disappeared, reverting to those weathered shallow scratches...
Jiang Fan raised his hand and wiped. Stone powder from the cliff fell rustling, leaving no trace behind!
Jiangnan was stunned, about to say something, but Jiang Fan had already disappeared from beneath the cliff, without even a trace of reluctance...
Jiangnan could only follow again!
Above the Jiuxiao Archipelago, the two figures appeared. Jiang Fan stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the night sky, his expression unfamiliar...
"Even this starry sky is no longer what it once was..."
"I thought I would never return to Blue Star in my lifetime. I didn't expect to have such an opportunity!"
Jiangnan looked up at the starry sky. It was indeed no longer the same starry sky as before. The solar system was now placed in the dimensional gap!
What they saw was just the starry sky of the Dimensional Star City. It was more brilliant than before, but still lacked some familiarity...
Jiangnan took a deep breath: "Coming back... is good. Although the old friends are gone, and this is no longer the era that once belonged to you..."
"The people of today still remember you in their hearts. Being forgotten is the most sorrowful, isn't it?"
"You are here, right now. This era still has a place for you!"
Jiang Fan didn't follow Jiangnan's lead. He just looked up at the starry sky!
"Don't you want to know what my ability really is? I told you before. My ability is called Stars, remember?"
Jiangnan was stunned, then nodded. He had always been curious about Jiang Fan's abilities!
He had used too many abilities, and each one was extremely powerful. It wasn't something that could be achieved simply through ability association and derivation!
Jiang Fan said lightly: "Have you heard... the saying that after people die, they transform into stars, watching over you and protecting you from the night sky?"
Jiangnan nodded: "I've heard it, but it seems to be just a beautiful wish..."
Jiang Fan shook his head: "Not exactly. My ability is simple to explain but complex in practice. Specifically, I can absorb, devour, and inherit anyone's ability, condense it into a star, hang it high in the night sky, and use it permanently!"
"All the skills, domains, everything of the absorbed person becomes part of the star. If they have no domain or skills, I can also deeply cultivate that star, develop its domain, and add skills to it!"
"Thousands of stars are all at my disposal. I can be any kind of ability. As long as it exists under this starry sky, I almost have it..."
Jiangnan's mouth fell open, his face full of shock!
This... this was the true face of Stars?
It was too terrifying!
Being able to absorb anyone's ability, condense it into a star, and use it permanently?
Didn't this mean that Jiang Fan had countless abilities? He alone was humanity, he alone was the ten thousand races of the starry sky?
∑(°口°๑) "Th-this is so strong? Invincible, right?"
So the reason Jiang Fan could use time-type and space-type abilities was because he had condensed the corresponding ability stars and inherited them?
Jiang Fan shook his head, his gaze calm: "Very strong? Not really. In practice, there are many limitations. For example, I can't activate too many stars at once, or the starry sky can't bear it and collapses!"
"Also, for stars of the same type of ability, only one can exist in my starry sky. If I want to change it, I have to shatter the previous star and absorb a new one..."
"Moreover... you probably know the principle that being versatile is not being specialized. All these countless stars are abilities. You have to develop and cultivate each one. Progress becomes very slow. That's why my growth speed has never been very fast..."
Jiangnan swallowed hard: Σ(°△°|||) "But that's still impressive? This might be the most overpowered ability I've ever seen. No wonder the Bose bodies covet it so much!"
You know, even the two-horned upper-level Bose bodies can only replicate two abilities simultaneously and borrow them temporarily!
And that alone had already seated them on the throne of the starry sky overlords!
But Jiang Fan's Stars could absorb and inherit all abilities and use them permanently!
Time, space, gravity, all kinds...
Once he grew up, it would be invincible!
No wonder everyone found Jiang Fan difficult to deal with, even to the point where he successfully escaped from Black God's hands!
Black God had never told Jiangnan about Jiang Fan's ability. He was probably afraid that Jiangnan would feel inferior!
Because this was simply incomparable!
Jiang Fan waved his hand, scattering thousands of stars. Only a small patch of the starry sky lit up, just a few thousand stars!
This will-body had only brought a part. The rest were all with the main body, maintaining its existence!
For example, the time star had to stay with the main body. The space star had only brought half a star...
Jiang Fan looked up at the countless stars:
"Actually, initially, there were no stars in this starry sky. There are no innate strong people in this world..."
"I also didn't know how to use my ability. It wasn't until later that I discovered the method of use, and the stars in the night sky gradually increased..."
"But my strength wasn't very outstanding. I couldn't be in many places at once. The Stars ability wasn't very useful in the early stages. Only when the stars in this sky became more and more did I gradually grow, using different types of abilities to cooperate and cultivate, improving myself..."
"Do you remember? I said before that after death, people transform into stars in the sky, protecting you and watching over you..."
Jiangnan was stunned, his expression gradually becoming shocked...
Jiang Fan continued: "People whose abilities I absorb and inherit die... They become one star in my night sky, becoming part of me!"
"And I inherit everything from them and continue walking forward..."
"So... what do you think the countless stars in the night sky came from when I hadn't even left Blue Star yet?"
Jiangnan's goosebumps instantly rose, and he pressed his lips tightly...
Jiang Fan's gaze was deep: "Some came from enemies I killed, but more came from friends, brothers, comrades, elders, beloved, beauties, even strangers who entrusted their lives to me..."
"So that I... could become stronger!"
"This starry sky is filled with people from that era... They all transformed into these countless stars!"
