Chapter 2826: The Only Way Out!

As soon as Wang Youzhi said this, the eyes of all the Star Devourers from the various races lit up!
He is the Black God — he knows a lot!

(งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "What way out? Go on, tell us!"

Even Jiang Fan and Jiang Nan turned their gazes toward him.
Jiang Fan had reconfigured the types of stars in his arsenal, but even so, he wasn't strong enough to go head-to-head with Xun Zu directly.

Wang Youzhi squinted at the world bubble expanding from the Final Burial Ground, his gaze profound.

"The definition of the Cosmos Realm is having one's own complete world, a world with perfected laws, existing as a world will. As long as one is within that world, they are omnipotent and invincible."
"And right now, Xun Zu has only just begun shaping and evolving his world!"
"His world hasn't fully taken shape yet — far from reaching the heights that Lord Qingjie achieved back then."

Back then, Lord Qingjie withstood the laws of the Starry Sky World to create his Cosmos World, though it later became the Chuangjie Daxu.
Even though it was severed, the completion of his Cosmos World was already considerable.
As for Xun Zu's Eternal World, it's still just a prototype — not a complete Cosmos Realm.

Wang Youzhi continued: "All the power of the Cosmos Realm comes from the world they shape. The more complete the world, the stronger the power."
"So right now, Xun Zu isn't as strong as Lord Qingjie was back then."
"However, once his world bubble expands to the border of the Old Divine Burial, he will have laid the foundation of his world, and you will truly have nowhere left to retreat."
"The only reason you're still alive is that Xun Zu's world bubble hasn't expanded here yet."

Everyone's lips twitched. The Cosmos Realm is terrifying, isn't it?
Creating your own world and becoming an existence akin to the world's will?
If Xun Zu is already like this and still not as strong as Lord Qingjie…
Just how terrifying was Lord Qingjie back then?
And what method did the heroes of the world use to kill him?

Everyone couldn't help but look at the expanding world bubble, faintly seeing Xun Zu standing at the center like a god, coldly staring in their direction.
Xun Zu hadn't come over immediately to kill them — the world bubble was still expanding and shaping, requiring his oversight.
At this stage, Xun Zu couldn't abandon his world to come chase after Jiang Nan and the others.
That was why they were still alive.

As the world bubble expanded, the area it covered grew larger, but the expansion speed had slowed compared to before.
Wherever the world covered, the chaotic and disordered laws of the Old Divine Burial were reshaped.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Nan and the others were still within the Old Divine Burial, in the gap between the border and the world bubble.
But sooner or later, the world bubble would spread here, squeezing out their living space.
Time was running out.

Chen Mu covered his face: "Aren't we just turtles in a jar right now? Once the world bubble spreads over, we're dead, right?"

Noah said urgently, "You still haven't told us what the way out is!"

Wang Youzhi squinted. "The only way out is to find a way to collapse Xun Zu's world and destroy his source of power."
"Otherwise, even if you escape, what's the use? Xun Zu will still hunt you down one by one and turn you into nutrients for his world. If you want to live, you have to hold Xun Zu back here."
"His world hasn't fully taken shape yet — there's still a chance."

The Star Devourers' faces turned green, their heads aching. Collapse a world?
How?
Even if a Star Devourer's destructive power is immense, they can't shatter a world!

Jiang Nan's face was also full of difficulty.

Yuan Yi grinned awkwardly: "Does such a method really exist?"

"How could it not?"

Wang Youzhi sneered. Jiang Nan was startled, and both their eyes focused on Jiang Fan at the same time.

Jiang Fan frowned slightly: "You mean the Old Divine Burial?"

Wang Youzhi snapped his fingers. "Yes. That is indeed one of the ways out. But I'm not sure how far it can go."

The Old Divine Burial exists to make worlds collapse into disorder and chaos.
Collapsing the Starry Sky World is one thing; collapsing Xun Zu's Eternal World is the same.

Jiang Fan twisted his neck, his eyes full of eagerness to try.
"The Cosmos Realm, huh? Interesting. I like doing challenging things."
"Should we trigger the Old Divine Burial now?"

Wang Youzhi shook his head. "Too early. Wait until Xun Zu's Eternal World foundation is about to take shape, then trigger it. That way, he won't be able to turn back."
"Otherwise… the Old Divine Burial might not be effective."

Many Star Devourers were dumbfounded.
What did he mean? It sounded like Jiang Fan could control the Old Divine Burial!
This…
Sss~
Could the previous fluctuations from the Divine Burial have been Jiang Fan's doing?

Wang Youzhi clicked his tongue in admiration. "But I really didn't expect that the Creation Beast Lord Qingjie contracted back then could also reach this point."
"It seems he inherited quite a lot from Qingjie, didn't he?"

Everyone's eyes widened even more.
Damn!
Xun Zu's true identity is the Creation Beast?
No wonder he has three glazed horns!
He's an old-timer who's lived from the Eternal Era to the present!
And Creation Beasts have the innate ability to create spirit realms.
From the perspective of world creation, they might even have more talent than the Bose Clan.
This was earth-shattering news!

Yuan Yi gritted his teeth: "We have to wait until the world foundation is about to take shape? I'm afraid everyone won't be able to hold on until then!"

By that time, the world bubble would probably have already spread over!

Jiang Nan took a deep breath. "What's there to be afraid of? If being afraid were useful, I'd sit down and cry my eyes out on the spot!"
"The problem is right in front of us — we just need to find a way to solve it."
"Each of you is at the peak of the starry sky, standing at the top of the pyramid, having climbed up on the bones of countless people. Why should it all end here?"
"Think about your races. If you die here, your races will be wiped out by the Bose Clan. Then it's all over. Even if Xun Zu is an insurmountable mountain, we must cross him!"

The Star Devourers knew exactly how dire the situation was.
To survive, for their races, they had to endure.

The Silicon Lord looked at Jiang Nan with deep, mechanical eyes.
"You're ruthless enough — you've dragged the entire starry sky into this."

One could say that the current situation was almost entirely orchestrated by Jiang Nan — dragging everyone along to solve the Xun Zu problem, to break this deadlock together.
Otherwise, everyone dies anyway.
Better than the Carbon Alliance facing it alone.

Jiang Nan didn't refute, just said calmly: "I didn't think that far ahead. My head isn't as big as yours."
"It's just that the situation calls for it, and I go with the flow."

The Silicon Lord squinted. Who knows if Jiang Nan did it on purpose? Otherwise, why would he push the Bose Clan so hard, forcing them to flip the table at this time?
A real man is ruthless to the point of poison, huh?

Jiang Nan turned his head: "Carbon Alliance! Take all the buffs now. Otherwise, you might not get a chance to eat later."

To survive, to win, who cares about image or face anymore?
Eat! Living is better than anything!

The Star Devourers opened their backpack buffs and started chugging them one by one.

The Star Devourers of the Matter Alliance couldn't sit still anymore. Chuyang, Chen Mu, Mingquan, Liutie and the others all swallowed their saliva, their eyes darting but too embarrassed to ask.
After all, the two factions weren't on good terms.

Jiang Nan rolled his eyes: "What's there to be shy about? Eat! I've prepared some for you too."

With that, he pulled out several more backpacks of buffs from the Alternate Dimension and tossed them to the Matter Alliance Star Devourers.

Chuyang, Liutie and the others took them without saying thank you — they couldn't save face.
These backpacks contained enhancement items; they wouldn't be given artifacts like Lucky Little Cherry.

The Silicon Lord gritted his teeth. Damn it, Jiang Nan had planned this all along!
He even prepared the buff backpacks in advance. And considering how he let Chuyang, Jiran, and the others live during such a good opportunity earlier…
He must have foreseen this situation!
Having more Star Devourers means more combat power!
And you still say you didn't orchestrate this?

Jiang Nan handed Jiang Fan a string of buffs — Strongman Pill, Green Stick, and such.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)っ "Brother Fan, have some too? It'll be a guarantee when the fight starts later."

Jiang Fan's face darkened. He turned his head: "No. I don't need these things. I have confidence."

Jiang Nan quickly added: "Oh, come on, just have a little? Who doesn't want to be stronger?"

Jiang Fan's face grew even darker: "No. I have my principles."

Jiang Nan's expression became teasing: "Brother Fan? Could it be that you're afraid of turning into a cute guy after eating and ruining your image?"

Jiang Fan lifted his head and didn't say another word.
(*˘~˘)

It seemed that even if it killed him, he wasn't going to eat.

Jiang Nan didn't push: "Alright, alright. If you want some, just ask, okay?"

Jiang Fan said firmly: "Don't worry. That will never happen."

The Matter Alliance Star Devourers also started chugging.

The Demon Lord hesitated with a Strongman Pill and Green Stick in his hands: "Um… after we eat, you're not going to charge us for this, are you?"

As soon as he said it, Jing Ming, who was chugging a Green Stick, spat it out.
Liutie was also startled and started frantically trying to gag himself.
If he had to pay, he'd lose his entire fortune to Jiang Nan!

Jiang Nan rolled his eyes: "If you insist on paying, I'll take it."
"You all know I never do a losing deal. If these buffs can help you survive, then it's not a loss."

Hearing that, the Star Devourers breathed a sigh of relief.
In this matter, Jiang Nan was indeed generous enough.

Jing Ming immediately slurped back the drink he had just spat out.
Jiang Nan felt nauseated. This guy really doesn't waste a drop.

Just as everyone was frantically chugging their buffs, Jiang Fan and Jiang Nan's expressions suddenly changed.

Wen Fei shouted: "Watch out!"

The next moment, Xun Zu's figure suddenly appeared above everyone's heads.
His hand pressed down fiercely toward the crowd.

Jiang Nan whipped his head around. In the world bubble, Xun Zu's figure was still standing there!
How did he get over here?
Isn't it that during the world-shaping process, he can't leave the world bubble?
Then who is this?
A clone?

Xun Zu's icy voice echoed through the Old Divine Burial:

"World Annihilation!"
