# Chapter 2881: The Abyss of Time!
Thanks to the beating experience obtained from Liumai, Chenmu and Liusu managed to endure the vicious beatings and survive through the most intense phase!
The Kuangkang Beating Group led by Jiangnan had a good satisfying round!
Only then did they stop!
Mainly because the Stardust Clan seemed to have become numb to their own Star Devourer being beaten, and the resentment value was no longer accumulating as intensely as at the beginning, entering a fatigue phase!
Beating further would be meaningless, just a waste of energy!
Jiangnan knew it was time to switch to another clan!
He stood up, took a deep suck of his Dudu pacifier, and exhaled a rich milky fragrance!
As the saying goes, a smoke after work is better than being an immortal!
Xuexue wouldn't let him smoke, but a pacifier wasn't bad either~
Jiangnan smacked his lips:
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)✧ "Good feel, indeed a pleasant experience, not a wasted trip!"
"Brothers? Let's go, let's go—let's take a spin through the Chaos Clan and see how their Star Devourer feels?"
"Hahaha~ This is truly something to look forward to~"
With that, he directly led the Kuangkang Beating Group away, each face wearing a satisfied expression!
Their faces were covered in the sweat of hard labor, shining with a charming radiance under the starlight!
Only Chenmu and Liusu, who had been beaten to a pulp, were left lying in the starry sky, utterly disheveled!
Cold tears streamed freely down their faces!
꒰#҉̛)꒪ͦཀ҉̛꒪ͦ(#҉̛꒱꒰#)҉̛ཀ҉̛益ཀ҉̛(#꒱
Wuwu~ That Jiang bully isn't human! Beats us and just leaves?
You've had your fun, but what about us?
What's the difference between this and a scumbag who wrecks someone and then abandons them?
Ptoo! Scumbag Jiang!
The psychological trauma left in our hearts by such behavior might never heal!
But Jiangnan did keep his word—he didn't do much to the Stardust Clan, just beat them and left!
ƪ꒰꒪口҉̛꒪ͦ(#҉̛꒱ "Puh-wah~ Don't leave yet! At least remove the Stygian energy for us? Hey, hey, hey~"
But Jiangnan was already far away!
...
At this moment, within the Chaos Clan's home star domain, everything was in a complete mess!
After all, Jiangnan had just announced that he would come to the Chaos Clan to hold a beating session!
Having personally witnessed the miserable state of Chenmu and Liusu!
How could Chuyang and Jiran stay calm? They had already been disciplined by Jiangnan during the Apex War!
And Jiangnan was even stronger now than he was back then!
The two were going crazy with anxiety!
Chuyang ground his teeth:
꒰⸝⸝￢益￢⸝⸝꒱ "Xuansi? Are you bullshitting us? Is this really going to work?"
Xuansi said urgently:
꒰ง⸝⸝⁰̷̴益⁰̷̴⸝⸝꒱ง "You two old farts... er... just trust me, ancestors!"
"From my understanding of the Southern God, as long as you do this, he absolutely won't be able to attack—after all, you don't hit a smiling face!"
"Even if he does hit, it'll be lighter than what the other clans get. Given the current situation, do we have a choice?"
"Surrender from the start, accept fate, and get beaten less!"
Chuyang said with a dark face: ꒰⸝⸝▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿⸝⸝꒱ "But... but isn't this too shameful?"
Xuansi said with frustration:
꒰⸝⸝≖益≖⸝⸝꒱ "What shame is there left? Getting beaten will also be shameful—what's the difference? Trust me! Trust me, damn it!"
Jiran gritted his teeth: "Let's trust him once; we have no other choice anyway!"
Just then, Xuansi suddenly flinched: "They're coming, they're coming! Quickly, go!"
Sure enough, the Kuangkang Beating Group was strolling over!
Chuyang and Jiran exchanged glances, their eyes full of determination, nodded, and directly rushed out of the star system!
They directly cupped their fists in salute to Jiangnan!
In unison they said: "Welcome to the Southern God's visit to our clan to hold the beating session! We, Chuyang and Jiran, sincerely thank the Southern God for taking time out of his busy schedule to beat us!"
"The venue and victims are both prepared, guaranteeing you the most enjoyable beating experience!"
"Please, Southern God, begin!"
The clear voices echoed through the starry sky, directly stunning the Star Devourers of other races!
Jiangnan also froze in place, completely dumbfounded!
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
Xuansi, on the other hand, put his hands on his hips and grinned smugly!
꒰⸝⸝⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴⸝⸝꒱
We're this cooperative—no way the Southern God can lay a hand on us now!
Noah's forehead was covered in cold sweat:
(•́ω•̀٥) "Do they... have some kind of brain disease? This is the first time I've seen someone so eager to get beaten!"
"They... they're being really proactive, huh?"
At this moment, Chuyang and Jiran's hearts were also full of anxiety—face didn't matter, as long as it worked!
Jiangnan grinned:
୧(〃⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴) "Haha! Didn't expect you two to be so cooperative! Since that's the case, I can't spoil your enthusiasm!"
"Let's do a few extra rounds to commend your awareness! Everyone, attack together!"
Xuansi's expression instantly froze, petrified on the spot!
꒰⸝⸝°△°⸝⸝꒱ This is not how I imagined it going!
With that, Jiangnan directly led the Kuangkang Beating Group swarming forward, immediately subjecting the two to a brutal beating!
Chuyang and Jiran were beaten senseless instantly!
We're this cooperative, and you still do extra rounds?!
That bastard Xuansi—he tricked us both!
୧꒰#)≥҉̛益≤(#҉̛꒱୨ "Aaaaah! Xuansi! You bastard! Are you trying to get us killed so you can take the opportunity to rise to power?"
"Someone! Drag Xuansi down and beat him! He has to be beaten worse than us!"
Xuansi was immediately dragged down!
He was still struggling:
꒰⸝⸝ﾟ口ﾟ⸝⸝꒱ "No! This isn't right! Something must have gone wrong! My analysis was correct!"
"It must be because you two old farts have dark faces and old grudges—it's definitely not my fault!"
Xuansi cried. The one time he actually convinced the clan, and it ended in such a complete failure!
The Southern man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!
Actually, if it weren't for collecting resentment value, Jiangnan might have felt a bit reluctant to hit such cooperative people. He might have just let it slide and moved on to the next one!
But given the special circumstances, Jiangnan had no choice but to stop being a decent person!
The grand tour of beating sessions across the entire starry sky was still in full swing—this was only just the beginning!
And today was destined to be the start of the nightmarish suffering for the Matter Alliance!
...
Jiangnan's actions and the strength he displayed directly caused an earthquake throughout the starry sky, attracting the attention of countless eyes!
Everyone felt threatened!
Among them were naturally the Silicon-Based and Bose Races!
Although the unlucky ones were from the Matter Alliance, that didn't mean the flames of war wouldn't spread to the other two factions!
After all, when Jiangnan disappeared and the Carbon Alliance was weak, the Silicon-Based and Bose had done plenty of kicking while they were down!
After finishing with the Matter Alliance, the next target might well be the other two!
The Primordial Machine was currently stationed in the Guangke Star Domain, frantically analyzing all of Jiangnan's battle footage!
Its mechanical eyes kept staring at the silver radiance!
Dayan said anxiously:
[┐≖益≖┌] "Silicon Lord, have you analyzed any weaknesses? Is there any possibility of suppressing him?"
The Silicon Lord shook his head:
[┐˘益˘┌] "Very troublesome. Jiangnan's strength stems entirely from that Realm Source Energy!"
"After data collection and analysis, this Realm Source Energy is of great origin—completely incomparable to realm force!"
"Such energy shouldn't even exist in a world after its creation. It's the energy and nourishment that all pseudo-cosmos, and even cosmos-level beings, dream of!"
"The current Jiangnan can even go toe-to-toe with a pseudo-cosmos like Wanxiang, or even suppress him head-on. The Primordial Machine has no chance of suppressing him..."
Dayan's CPU was starting to smoke!
"The situation is tough now. We can't rule out the possibility of Jiangnan targeting the Silicon-Based! Once a direct conflict occurs and the Primordial Machine can't suppress him, the losses will be enormous!"
"Can we use the Ultimate Star Weapon to threaten to bomb the Carbon Alliance's home star domain? To force Jiangnan to back off?"
The Silicon Lord shook his head: "That might have some effect, but for Jiangnan with Realm Source Energy, the threat is no longer significant. The cost would outweigh the benefit!"
"We can't let this continue. We must strike first!"
"Jiangnan's sudden surge in strength has seriously threatened everyone's interests. It's a matter of survival!"
"If necessary, we can contact Xun Zu, Wanxiang, and the Primordial Machine to jointly suppress Jiangnan. I don't believe Jiangnan has any way to resist!"
Dayan was stunned: [┐°口°┌] "Cooperate with Xun Zu?"
The Silicon Lord squinted: [┐￢_￢┌] "Why not? Remember, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. All actions must ensure the survival and development of the Silicon-Based!"
"But Jiangnan's strength has increased to this level. Don't forget, the Carbon Alliance still has that surnamed Jiang. If he..."
Before he could finish, the Primordial Machine suddenly stood up, its mechanical eyes shooting out fierce red light!
Its crimson plasma wings spread, the thermal core activated, and it instantly disappeared from its spot!
Dayan was stunned:
└[°口°┌] "Silicon Lord? Where are you going? What's wrong?"
The Primordial Machine was actually being deployed directly!
The Silicon Lord's voice echoed through the void!
"The main terminal! Something has happened..."
...
Eastern part of the starry sky world, the Abyss of Time. This was also one of the forbidden zones of the starry sky!
Its danger level was such that even Star Devourer experts were reluctant to touch it!
It was a naturally formed spatial chasm, incredibly vast and bottomless!
Even super-large star systems appeared insignificant before the Abyss of Time!
There were stars inside the Abyss of Time as well!
But these stars appeared and disappeared, sometimes living out their entire lives in an instant, turning to ash and dust, or sometimes forming from dust into planets!
There were even supernova explosions, but they were completely frozen, as if time had stopped!
It was called the Abyss of Time because it was filled with undetectable time turbulence, a naturally formed forbidden zone!
Time could flow faster, stop, or even reverse—all sorts of bizarre phenomena could occur!
Almost no one could fully penetrate the Abyss of Time and come out alive. They would be forever trapped inside, or instantly turned to bone, or even regressed back to an embryo!
Because of its extreme danger, it had become a forgotten existence!
And at the deepest part of the Abyss of Time, in a zone where time had stopped!
The Silicon-Based's cube-shaped main terminal stood here!
Below the main terminal was a ring of golden light, surrounded by floating clock modules to stabilize the frozen time in this area!
And right here, in this untouchable forbidden zone of time!
Jiang Fan's figure appeared in this place. Above his head were countless stars, and within the starry sky surged brilliant silver starlight!
He stood casually on the edge of the main terminal's top!
He sat down on it casually, raised his hand, and knocked on the terminal body!
"Hey~ Wake up. A guest has arrived—don't you know how to welcome me?"
Inside the main terminal, a red light flickered...
