Chapter 2926: A World Without Miracles!
Wanxiang was already pulling!
At this moment, he had even hidden himself in the dimensional gap, yes! He actually hid in there!
He no longer cared about being turned into a figurine by Black God or anything like that; do it if you want, that's still better than being drained by Jiang Fan's Star Absorption Technique!
Wanxiang never expected that at such a critical moment, Jiang Fan would actually step in to stop Xun Zu!
Why did this god of slaughter come here?!
୧(#⋟益⋞#)୨ "Not going! Don't even think about tricking me out of the dimensional gap!"
What Jiang Fan said was right, that's how the script was written!
The reason he came today was definitely to take the opportunity to capture me, since Jiangnan happened to be away!
It's over! He's finished!
He didn't fall into Xun Zu's hands, but in the end, he still ended up in Jiang Fan's?
Jiang Fan said coldly: (￢_￢) "Come over and help! Aren't you on Jiangnan's side? What are you doing hiding in the dimensional gap?"
To deal with the current Xun Zu, the prototype of the Thermal Core World from the First Machine alone wasn't enough; Wanxiang also had to be used!
That sword strike from Jiang Fan earlier had already revealed as much!
But Wanxiang was already shaking his head like a rattle!
(ﾟ﹏ﾟ‧̣̥̇≡‧̣̥̇ﾟ﹏ﾟ) "Hiding in there? Of course, to hide from you? You must be here to capture me, right? You want to take the opportunity to help and then get rid of me, and since Jiangnan isn't here, no one can stop you!"
"I'm not coming out even if you kill me! Do you think I'm a melon? If... if you have the guts, you come in here, huh?"
Two veins bulged on Jiang Fan's forehead, and a flash of ruthlessness flickered in his eyes:
(￢益￢ꐦ) "Do I need an opportunity to capture you? Jiang Fan is not so low as to do such things!"
"I will deal with you, but not today!"
"Hurry up and get out here to help! I'll say this one last time, otherwise I'll kill you right now!"
As he spoke, the star sword in his hand pointed straight at Wanxiang!
Wanxiang was completely panicked:
(#)꒦ິ口꒦ີ) "Brother Black God? Look at him, he's going to kill me! Jiangnan isn't here, for the sake of the starry sky's survival, you can't just ignore me... aiya!"
Before he could finish, Black God suddenly appeared behind Wanxiang, kicked him right in the butt, and booted him out of the dimensional gap!
(●¯͒◠¯͒●) "Go block Xun Zu! Why are you hiding in my territory? Hurry up and help him! We can't do without you!"
Wanxiang was utterly despairing—even the dimensional gap doesn't let him hide?
He looked at Xun Zu, then at the cold-faced Jiang Fan!
Heavens! What sins did he commit in his past life? Ever since he awakened, he hasn't had a single good day!
Now he had no choice at all!
He plunged headlong toward Jiang Fan!
"Fine! You'd better keep your word, or Jiangnan won't let you off when he gets back!"
Jiang Fan's gaze was exceptionally fierce: "If you want to live, you better shut that stinky mouth of yours, or I won't mind turning you into a star right now!"
Wanxiang immediately went silent—do whatever you want, as long as you don't kill me today!
Wanxiang's Star God body directly crashed into the First Machine!
Under the catalysis of Jiang Fan's Starry World Domain, the prototype of the Thermal Core World, Wanxiang's Small World, and the Starry World Domain were actually merging!
The power of rules grew stronger and stronger!
And Wanxiang also handed over all the star power he had extracted to Jiang Fan for allocation!
Jiang Fan's own ability was Stars, so when using star power, he had an even higher compatibility than Jiangnan!
Coupled with the continuous supply of Realm Source Energy!
Jiang Fan's momentum surged. Carrying the power of two pseudo-cosmos, with Realm Source Energy as the foundation, he took the initiative to attack Xun Zu!
He charged straight at the Eternal World Projection!
Xun Zu, however, grinned savagely. The World Shadow transformed into a sky-covering giant hand and struck horizontally at Jiang Fan!
"I said it! You're still not strong enough! Three pieces of trash stacked together are still trash!"
"Boom!"
The extremely powerful strike that Jiang Fan had been brewing for a long time slashed deep into the palm of the Eternal Giant Hand, cutting halfway through, but in the end, it couldn't split it open!
The sword light shattered, and his figure was directly swept away by Xun Zu. His small world trembled incessantly, as if his body might collapse at any moment!
Jiang Fan thrust his sword into the void, carving out an extremely long black rift before barely stopping his momentum!
The coldness in his eyes deepened!
"It's not over yet!"
Countless stars began to shatter into pieces, turning into shattered star power. Jiang Fan's strength surged again as he charged at Xun Zu once more!
A fierce and intense battle unfolded above the Milky Way Star Domain!
Although the three of them joined forces, they still couldn't suppress Xun Zu, but they could barely withstand him, stabilizing the situation!
This bought Jiangnan time!
Wang Youzhi, however, looked worriedly at the supermassive black hole that Jiangnan had turned into!
"Little brother! What's going on? Why is there no movement from you yet?"
...
Meanwhile, in the Life Forbidden Zone, within the gap between two realities, Jiangnan could no longer pay attention to what was happening outside!
Brother Fan would hold the line, so there wouldn't be any problems!
Jiangnan's mind was completely absorbed by the original trajectory of reality, because that was where all the truths he craved were hidden!
At sixteen, he moved out of the welfare home. He studied at Jiangcheng No.1 High School. In his first year of high school, he awakened a Space System ability, but his talent was the worst F-grade!
Li Mingshan heard about Jiangnan and came to find him, wanting to train a successor, but gave up because of Jiangnan's pathetic talent. Talent was innate and couldn't be improved later. An F-grade talent would yield half the results with twice the effort in cultivation, and it was destined to amount to nothing!
Even with Space System, if he couldn't grow, it was useless!
Jiangnan didn't change his fate because of his Space System ability. Life had to go on!
He started selling hand-gripped pancakes and grilled cold noodles to earn living expenses, working part-time while studying. At school, because of his worst talent, which disgusted Li Mingshan, he was looked down upon and mocked by classmates!
In spirit martial cultivation, tests always placed him at the bottom of the class. He lived a miserable campus life!
The nickname "God Nan" wasn't a compliment to Jiangnan; it was an insult!
But life had to go on. During the off-season for grilled cold noodles and hand-gripped pancakes, Jiangnan started researching how to set up a street stall to sell small goods to make money!
He asked Aunt Zhou and even went to her storage room to look, but he didn't find the vendor cloth or the small stool, because in the original reality, those things didn't exist!
Jiangnan found two fertilizer bags, tore them open, and stitched them together to use as vendor cloth. He took an empty plastic bucket that had contained putty powder, turned it upside down to use as a stool—this way he could save some money!
And so, Jiangnan's street-stall life began. He rode that broken Phoenix brand bicycle with a missing screw on the rear wheel fender cover, making a clattering noise whenever he pedaled!
But Jiangnan already felt satisfied!
Watching his money slowly increase, his life gradually getting better, to the point where he even had spare money to buy cup noodles!
Usually, Jiangnan had bagged instant noodles for dinner. It was the old Beijing style, one yuan per pack, without oil packets, only seasoning packets. He would soak them and eat—cheap and filling!
Cup noodles were already quite a luxury, okay?
Watching these scenes, Jiangnan's eyes were filled with nostalgia!
He had thought about what life would be like if he didn't have the system, and whether he would have achieved what he had now!
But this was a question without an answer, because there were no "ifs" in reality!
Yet in this original reality, Jiangnan simply didn't have the system!
This was the original story...
Although he used torn burlap bags and a plastic bucket to replace the vendor cloth and small stool, in the original reality, the events that happened between the ages of 16 and 18 weren't much different from what Jiangnan had experienced!
Jiangnan even saw Xia Yao coming to the night market. She was dressed exceptionally well, wearing big brand clothes—clearly a girl from a wealthy family!
Originally, she didn't plan to buy underwear or anything from Jiangnan's stall; it wasn't reliable. She usually either bought online or from brand stores!
But Jiangnan still used his silver tongue, pulling Xia Yao into a long spiel, spit flying everywhere, and in the end, he made her spend money on several pairs of color-fading panties...
Seeing this, Jiangnan couldn't help but chuckle!
Soon, the development of reality reached a critical juncture!
On the night of his eighteenth birthday, Jiangnan set up his stall as usual!
That night, he ran into Li Muyan, Wang Lin, and the others who were shopping at the night market!
After being mocked by Li Muyan and the others, Jiangnan couldn't hold back and shot back a few words, which led to a conflict because of the argument!
Wang Lin struck Jiangnan!
In the tampered reality, Jiangnan was beaten until he spat blood, which splattered onto the vendor cloth, and thus he bound the system. This incident changed Jiangnan's life and was the most crucial encounter in his entire existence!
But in the original reality, Wang Lin came to hit Jiangnan. Jiangnan teleported half a meter to dodge but then went limp. Wang Lin's fist landed hard on his face, and blood splattered onto the torn burlap bag!
No miracle happened!
Jiangnan could only teleport half a meter before going limp. How could he possibly beat Wang Lin? He was pressed to the ground by Wang Lin and severely beaten!
Slaps to the face, kicks, even stuffing socks from the stall into Jiangnan's mouth, humiliating him to the extreme, and the stall was overturned!
Wang Lin hit especially hard, not holding back at all. Jiangnan was almost beaten unconscious. He could only curl up on the ground, covering his head in silence, not making a sound, not even crying out in pain!
When being beaten, if you don't make a sound, the person hitting you will find it boring and will probably stop after a while. Jiangnan was very experienced in this, so no matter how much it hurt, he didn't cry out!
Li Muyan even felt it was a bit too much—after all, they were classmates—it wasn't necessary! She wanted to pull Wang Lin away, but Wang Lin, caught up in his frenzy, kept hitting!
Because of the beating, a crowd of onlookers gathered around, but no one stepped in to stop it. Quite a few people even took out their phones to take photos and videos!
Inside the dimensional gap, Jiangnan silently watched the scene in the book!
This was the original trajectory. Without the system, there was no miracle for him...
And in the crowd of onlookers, Xia Yao pulled Zhong Yingxue over!
Xia Yao had a sugar-coated hawthorn stick in one hand and fried meatballs in the other. She had obviously come to watch the fun!
Ever since she bought Jiangnan's color-fading panties, Xia Yao had held a grudge. The revenge-driven Big Wolf Girl would come to the night market whenever she had free time, hoping to find Jiangnan and confront him face-to-face!
And in fact, on the day Jiangnan was beaten by Wang Lin, Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue were also at the night market!
Xia Yao had dragged Zhong Yingxue along to find someone!
When they saw a commotion, they came over to watch!
Parting the crowd, they saw Jiangnan curled up on the ground, being beaten badly!
Xia Yao immediately recognized him. Her mouth opened wide:
☚(°口°๑) "Ah! That... that unscrupulous boss! Was he beaten because he was selling counterfeit and shoddy goods? Tsk—that's really miserable! I don't even have the heart to take revenge on him anymore!"
But Zhong Yingxue, seeing Jiangnan being pinned down and beaten, was initially stunned!
Then a boundless fury surged in her big eyes. In Xia Yao's shocked expression, she rushed out like a bolt of lightning, her hat falling to the ground!
Flames of blazing heat ignited in her hands, forming a crimson fireball, which she viciously slammed into Wang Lin's body—it was the Crimson Lotus Explosive Fireball!
Amid the crowd's exclamations, Wang Lin was blasted away on the spot!
Zhong Yingxue clenched her teeth, her eyes full of anger:
"Stop right there! Bastard!"
Unburned sparks still floated in the air. Jiangnan curled up on the ground, his face covered in blood, looking up dazedly at Zhong Yingxue, who was dressed in a white dress, her pretty face full of anger and coldness...
(#)҉̛⁰̷̴།△།⁰̷̴) "S-Snow Snow?"
Zhong Yingxue didn't even pay attention to Wang Lin, who had been blasted away. Instead, she crouched down and wiped the blood off Jiangnan's face!
"Little Nan? Does it hurt? Where are you hurt? Yao Yao! Call an ambulance!"
...
And at this moment, Jiangnan, located in the dimensional gap, stared at this scene, stunned...
The two people whose fates were intertwined—no matter what, they would always meet by destiny, wouldn't they?
Even in this world where no miracle occurred...
