Chapter 2904: He Overthrew This Era!

All mother source runes were destroyed, the entire rune system completely collapsed!
The radiance of the entire Bose Clan seemed to dim considerably!
And all products derived from runes, such as Star Gates, star charts, and the like, were all invalidated!
Although the Bose Clan could still rely on dimensional crossing to achieve long-distance travel, this could not change the fact that the Bose Clan had lost the Star Path!
That single strike of Jiangnan's had brutally cut into the foundation of the Bose Clan!
A colossus like the Bose Clan would begin to crumble from this moment onward!
But as long as Xun Zu stood firm for one day, this great edifice would still not topple!
Xun Zu watched this scene unfold before his own eyes, but had no way to stop it!
He never imagined that even after ascending to Cosmos and standing at the pinnacle of the starry sky, he could still feel such a sense of powerlessness!
It's over... it's all over...
Xun Zu stared blankly into the vast starry sky, feeling as if a lifetime had passed...
And with the complete collapse of the rune system, all rune forms inscribed throughout the starry sky shattered, scattering into points of spiritual light!
These spiritual lights drifted, converged, and turned into shimmering ribbons, resplendent star rivers, flickering as they floated toward the depths of the starry sky!
Born from the world, ultimately returning to the world...
If one observed the starry sky world from a god's perspective, they could see fireflies drifting out from the Sea of Stars everywhere, beautiful and enchanting, peerless like a mortal paradise...
At the Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang, countless slave races covered in black dust and stone slag, their bodies drenched with sweat, stopped working!
They stared in shock as the Slave Marks on their bodies dissipated, turning into spiritual light flying toward the starry sky!
Ten marks, a hundred, countless...
They gazed blankly at this sight. A gaunt Jinyan Clan youth stood in the mine pit, his thin frame unable to straighten under the weight of a huge raw ore, his body trembling slightly!
In his eyes, there had long been no sparkle!
But his gaze caught the fireflies floating up to the starry sky!
He put down the massive ore boulder; it slammed into the ground with a heavy, dull thud!
On his chest, the Slave Mark dissolved into spiritual light and vanished, flying toward the starry sky like fireflies!
The youth subconsciously reached out to grab it, but grasped only emptiness!
He didn't know what this meant. This mark had been with him since the day he was born; he was supposed to spend his life digging in the mine pit until he died!
The Jinyan Clan had lived like this for generations!
But at this moment, the youth felt that the shackles on his body had been broken. It was just one mark missing, yet he felt his body had become much lighter!
For some reason, tears glistened at the corners of his eyes!
At this moment, the youth looked up at the starry sky, his eyes full of starlight...
Not just here, but in every Xing Xu across the entire starry sky—flower houses, assassin training camps, arenas, slave markets, production factories...
Too many places. All the slave races stared blankly as their Slave Marks disappeared into nothingness, then looked up at the starry sky!
Under the starry sky, the number of slave races was immense, scattered in every corner. People could only see the ten thousand races of the starry sky, the brilliance under the spotlight!
But they completely failed to see the countless billions of slave races in the dark corners, who had propped up the prosperity of the entire Thousand Stars Era!
The entire starry sky world seemed to fall silent because of the disappearance of the Slave Marks!
Then, a wave of uneasy agitation followed!
In the mine, the Jinyan Clan slave races stopped working one by one, looking up at the dazzling star river!
The scene suddenly became extremely quiet!
And at that moment, a mine foreman erupted with a terrifying aura, his killing intent as solid as substance!
Rolling might pressed down over the whole area!
[Furious face] "Who the hell told you to stop? Want to die, huh?"
"Anyone who dares to leave this area, just try it!"
Under his might, fear filled the eyes of every slave race!
Then, Jiangnan's voice suddenly echoed throughout the starry sky, clearly resounding in everyone's ears!
Without any hesitation, Jiangnan pulled out the War Horn right in front of Xun Zu, activated the world loudspeaker mode, and addressed the entire starry sky!
"People of the ten thousand races! Every single one of you! Listen up! I am Jiangnan!"
"From today onward, there will be no more slave race system in this starry sky! No more slave races, no more Xing Xu! The entire starry sky rune system has collapsed, and Slave Marks will never exist again! I, Jiangnan, did this!"
"If anyone dares to stop them from leaving, restrict their freedom, or commit acts of coercion or harm against them, touch even a single hair on their heads, you will be regarded as my lifelong enemy!"
"I will surely destroy this body of yours, send your soul back to the heavens, exterminate your race, and crush everything you take pride in!"
"Whoever you are, whatever background you have, whatever backing—no matter how strong, you can't be stronger than me, Jiangnan!"
"Where my blade points, all stars fall silent! I, Jiangnan, mean what I say! Did everyone hear that clearly?"
Jiangnan's voice echoed throughout the entire starry sky, resolute and murderous, each word sharp!
This was a threat from Jiangnan, a naked threat!
Whoever dares to touch this red line, die!
Even just hearing his voice, one could feel the chill in his words!
In the mine, the foreman's words that had just reached his mouth were forced back, his face turning pale with fright!
[Pale face] Jiangnan! That's Jiangnan!
Just these two words alone carried enough weight!
He was truly at the pinnacle, the very center of the storm—how could a mere mine foreman afford to provoke him?
Not just him—across the entire starry sky, how many people dared to provoke Jiangnan?
Jiangnan's reputation was forged through battle, through slaughter!
Jiangnan continued:
"All slave races across the starry sky, listen! Do not be afraid, do not be confused. Look up at the starry sky! Nothing can bind your souls yearning for freedom anymore!"
"Wherever starlight twinkles, that is fertile ground you can set foot on. From today, each of your destinies is in your own hands!"
"Life and death are fated, wealth and honor depend on heaven. Opportunity lies hidden among the twinkling stars. Discover it, seize it! The ark of fate sails wherever you decide!"
"The shackles are broken... You are free!"
Jiangnan's voice clearly echoed in the ears of every slave race, piercing into their hearts!
As soon as he finished, countless cheers rang out from every corner of the starry sky!
The sound shook the Sea of Stars, spreading across the world!
Cheers surged like rolling waves, one after another, higher and higher!
They celebrated, raised their arms and shouted!
Countless slave races roared with flushed faces, venting the emotions pent up in their hearts!
Some slave races knelt on the ground, sobbing bitterly, tears falling like pearls!
"Dad! Mom! Did you see? I'm free! Our entire clan is free! We don't have to do these rotten things anymore. We can do what we want! If only... if only you were still alive, wuwu—"
"We made it through! We made it through! Young master Nan—Young master Nan has taken charge for us! Clan leader, you can rest in peace!"
"Young master Nan! Wuwu... wuwah!"
"Daughter! I'm going to find my daughter! You were sold off since childhood. I think of you during the day, I dream of you at night. I must find you, I must!"
Countless people called out Jiangnan's name. For all the slave races across the entire starry sky, this day was one to remember for a lifetime, to be recorded in history!
Because their fate was changed by Jiangnan, stepping into a new chapter!
And Jiangnan's name was carved into their bones, passed down through generations!
For all slave races, this was a great kindness that could never be repaid!
They couldn't do anything for Jiangnan, except shout his name!
At this moment, the starry sky world belonged to Jiangnan, a brilliant moment unique to him!
In the mine, the Jinyan Clan youth knelt on the ground, letting tears flow, but with a smile on his face!
He looked up at the starry sky, reaching out to touch it!
Though the starry sky was vast and boundless,
for him at this moment, it might no longer be so unreachable!
"Jiangnan... Jiangnan..."
He repeated this name over and over, the name that changed his life!
And Jiangnan became his aspiration, his longing!
Jiangnan's voice once again rang through the starry sky!
"The Slave Mark is gone, no more binds on this body! If any powerful race dares to capture, enslave, or trade you again, just call out the name of the Southern God!"
"I will surely kill my way over and cut them down with my blade! I can do it! The Thousand Stars Era has already fallen! Anyone who dares to engage in the trade of slave races again, first ask my blade, Jiangnan!"
"In this world, no one protects you—I, Jiangnan, will protect you! No one speaks for you—I, Jiangnan, will speak for you! No one dares to do what must be done—I, Jiangnan, dare to do it!"
"Let me see who dares to say no to me! The starry sky is vast—where cannot be home? If you have no safe harbor, the gates of the Human Race's Milky Way Star Domain are always open to you!"
"Once upon a time, no one held an umbrella for me, Jiangnan! Now I stand tall in the forest of the world—I will hold an umbrella for you!"
The clear voice echoed, like a needle steadying the sea, removing all worries about the future from the hearts of every slave race, filling them with a full sense of security!
The name of the Southern God—to others, it might be the embodiment of a demon, the synonym of a calamity!
But to these newly liberated slave races, it was their guardian deity!
And Jiangnan was not just boasting. If in the future any powerful clan secretly captured or traded slave races again,
as long as they called out "Southern God", it would naturally create a causal line with Jiangnan, and following that line, Jiangnan would be able to find them!
Just as the name "Jiang Fan" had become a taboo in the starry sky, the name of the Southern God would become the protective charm and umbrella for all slave races!
And Jiangnan had already laid down the law, which was also a powerful deterrent to the ten thousand races of the starry sky!
If anyone dared to do that, they'd better see if they could withstand Jiangnan's blade first!
