Chapter 2932: Turned into Candlelight...
Jiangnan, who had invaded the Xing Kong World, changed his name to Candlelight and concealed his identity!
Jiangnan, in the crack of reality, was stunned, his eyes full of complexity!
He never imagined that in the original reality, he and the Black God would still meet this way. Although the process was different, the fates of the two were still intertwined!
Even more unexpected… he did not become the blazing sun, but instead became that faint candlelight in the darkness!
When he first entered the Xing Kong World, Jiangnan was shocked by its prosperity and brilliance, and at the same time oppressed by the power of the Saint Star and the Bose Clan!
Under the oppression of the Star Domain Overlord, what exactly had to be done to save the humans who had become slave races and fulfill everyone's expectations?
Jiangnan was not clear; he could only continue moving forward. As long as he lived, there would always be a way!
And Jiangnan, under the alias Candlelight, had been a star pirate, mercenary, assassin, smuggler, robber, and black-on-black was just a daily routine in the Xing Kong World!
The stage of the Xing Kong World was bigger, which also gave Jiangnan the opportunity to grow, and his explosive surge in strength occurred after entering the Xing Kong World!
In these repeated adventures, the friendship between the Black God and Jiangnan deepened further. The Black God understood Jiangnan's bumpy and tragic past, and Jiangnan also learned of the Black God's inner loneliness!
Thus, that agreement was still made. The Black God would act as Jiangnan's backer, helping humans escape the fate of being slave races, and Jiangnan would make the Dimensional Gap as prosperous as the Thousand Stars City!
The Black God… still became Jiangnan's greatest backer!
And during this time in the Xing Kong World, Jiangnan never gave up searching for news about the Blue Star Star Ruins and the whereabouts of his former friends!
Some of them were still alive, but they had become slave races, sold to various parts of the Xing Kong World. The reason they chose to cling to life was because they still harbored a faint hope in their hearts…
And the reality was… humans living as slave races in the Xing Kong World did not fare well. Because Jiang Fan had caused a ruckus in the Xing Kong World over three thousand years ago, all races had suffered losses!
Humans in the Xing Kong World were inherently unwelcome existences. If they had value, they could still be considered trainable slave races, but if not, they were worse than pigs and dogs!
There were even races that specifically bought human slave races to torture, beat, and humiliate just to vent the anger they had suffered from Jiang Fan back then…
Jiangnan even saw with his own eyes at an auction humans being sold in cages like livestock, barely clothed…
His heart felt like it was tearing with pain!
All of this was witnessed by Jiangnan. He could not act openly, nor could he expose his human identity, otherwise humans would surely suffer disaster!
After all, humans were now slave races, their lives and deaths completely in the hands of the Bose Clan!
But this did not stop Jiangnan from taking action. Those races that abused and humiliated humans would inevitably suffer disaster. Jiangnan was like the venomous snake hidden in the shadows!
He dragged these people into the darkness and tore them to shreds!
Like an indelible curse, like a nightmare!
And in this reality, Jiangnan met Qing Ke of the Star Farming Clan very early!
During an exploration of an ancient relic, other races tried to make a move on Qing Ke. Jiangnan originally wanted to warn her and conveniently save her, but in the end, it was Qing Ke who used her heaven-defying luck to kill all the bad guys and effortlessly obtained the inheritance of an ancient powerhouse…
The two thus became acquainted. Jiangnan envied Qing Ke's heaven-defying luck, with wishes coming true and everything going smoothly!
But Qing Ke smiled bitterly and shook her head. She instead envied the life of a normal person, saying that one day she would encounter great misfortune…
Jiangnan also learned the truth about the Child of Destiny and said that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely help her solve the luck problem!
And because he became friends with Qing Ke, with Qing Ke's addition, Jiangnan's journey in the Xing Kong World became much smoother!
Qing Ke was the type who could accidentally pick up a powerful inheritance while wandering around, or trip and find an eternal ancient treasure. Jiangnan followed Qing Ke to benefit from many powerful inheritances, and the Black God also helped Jiangnan plan the general direction!
Jiangnan's foundation grew thicker and thicker, and his strength grew stronger!
Thus, he also came into contact with the Star Farming Clan. The silly girl Qing Er, through her fate-sensing ability, felt that Jiangnan was the one destined to protect her!
She also gave Jiangnan the Life Source Seed!
Because of this matter, Jiangnan became very close to the Star Farming Clan and used the identity of the Star Farming Clan as cover to operate in the Xing Kong World!
As his strength grew, Jiangnan's ideas gradually became bolder!
He had not searched for a way to remove the slave mark. There was almost none! The Styx River was considered a shielding method, and it was because of this that Jiangnan came into contact with the Netherworld Race!
But to save all the humans still alive, the problem had to be solved at the root!
From very, very early on, Jiangnan had his sights set on the Star Sea Curse Source in the Starfall Round Hall!
But that alone was not enough. He also needed to withstand the retaliation of the Bose Clan and allow humans to develop long-term!
Jiangnan's thoughts gradually became mad, and he began his own layout!
He wanted to destroy the Star Sea Curse Source, liberate all slave races in the Xing Kong World, and save humanity. Then, using the Dimensional Gap as a base, he would lead the slave races and those races unwilling to be oppressed by the Bose Clan to overthrow the Thousand Stars Era, creating an era with no more slave races and making his own rules!
However, with Jiangnan's current level, he was far from achieving these things. He needed to become stronger and also develop his own power and alliance!
And in this reality, Jiangnan started from the lawless lands, slowly making a name for himself, saving slave races, uniting small clans, and accumulating strength!
Although he did not have systematic props, once Jiangnan entered the Xing Kong World, he was still formidable!
He had followed Qing Ke and benefited from too many powerful inheritances, and he also had the irresolvable method of Black Hole Devouring Star. Even under the oppression of the great clans, Jiangnan could withstand it!
Jiangnan worked hard, pushing himself to the limit!
Because he clearly understood: the slower his plan progressed, the longer humans would have to be slave races and suffer!
And in this process, Jiangnan inevitably used Black Hole Devouring Star again and again, balancing the oppression of the great clans, surviving in the cracks between the many great clans, and seizing every opportunity to strengthen himself!
The name Candlelight gradually became renowned in the Xing Kong World. Everyone in the world believed that Candlelight belonged to the Star Farming Clan!
No one knew that it was Jiangnan!
Although every time he used Black Hole Devouring Star, Jiangnan felt like something had been lost, he did not care, because he had no choice but to use it!
……
In the crack of reality, Jiangnan looked at this scene with tear-filled eyes, weakly patting the pages of the book, speaking almost pleadingly:
"Don't use it! You fool! You big fool! Don't use Black Hole Devouring Star anymore! You've already forgotten too many things! Quickly realize it!"
The original reality's Jiangnan, without the soul-locking method, and without the ease of the dream reality's Jiangnan!
Other than relying on Black Hole Devouring Star, what else could he rely on?
……
And due to Jiangnan's series of actions, it also led to the Star Farming Clan being targeted, but Jiangnan was not afraid, because the Dimensional Gap served as a retreat!
Jiangnan also continuously collected news of his old friends, and through various methods—auctions, robbery, kidnapping the families of slave owners, threats and bribes—he managed to save many humans and remove the slave marks from their bodies!
He settled them in the Star Farming Clan temporarily!
Wang Gang and the others were the ones Jiangnan managed to retrieve!
To achieve his goals, Jiangnan never stopped at any means!
Many old friends could not endure the dark life as slave races and did not survive until Jiangnan's rescue, dying in humiliation…
Jiangnan also found news of Li Bing!
She had been bought by the Silicon-based by chance, originally destined for the Creation Laboratory as a test subject!
But Li Bing did not give up on the possibility of survival. She showed extraordinary wisdom and creativity, even solving the perplexing Mother Vine genetic modification for the Silicon-based for a long time!
A talent like this would be wasted if used as a test subject!
She was directly entrusted with heavy responsibilities by the Silicon-based, responsible for multiple research projects in the Creation Laboratory, and was even given partial access to the Silicon-based technology database to support her research!
Li Bing naturally would not refuse, but instead continuously demonstrated her value, completing one experimental project after another for the Silicon-based and overcoming one difficulty after another!
Because only in this way could she have a chance to survive!
Li Bing had thought about death, but she always believed that Jiangnan would not give up on humanity. That little guy who once said in front of her that he would live the most exciting life did not know how to give up!
And her living was far more useful to humanity than dying!
Due to the extremely high talent she displayed, Li Bing's permissions became higher and higher, allowing her to access more knowledge, even touching part of the Silicon-based core technology!
Sure enough, after a long wait, she received contact from Jiangnan!
But with Jiangnan's current abilities, there was no way to guarantee he could retrieve Li Bing alive!
So he had to wait for the right moment!
As the top figure of the Creation Laboratory, the Silicon-based's control over her was extremely perverse, and saving her was not that easy!
Just the slave mark alone was already fatal!
But Li Bing did not care. As long as she heard the news that Jiangnan was still alive, she was already satisfied!
She had waited so long, so she did not mind waiting a bit longer. And she was secretly making preparations for the subsequent plan…
And Jiangnan urgently needed greater power!
Thus, the Black God suggested that Jiangnan absorb the Eternal Gale…
The things that were supposed to happen still happened!
Jiangnan was also preparing for this matter, but during this period, the feeling of having lost something became more and more serious!
He would often stand frozen in place for a long time, his eyes full of emptiness!
Until before he went to absorb the Eternal Gale, he subconsciously looked at the wolf tooth pendant and crimson bone ring on his wrist…
"Mila… where did this pendant of mine come from? Who gave it to me? And whose tooth mark is this? Strange…"
And Mila's face turned completely pale!
"You forgot? You forgot everything? How could you forget this?"
Jiangnan was stunned, his heart skipping a beat: "Did I… forget something?"
……
At this moment, Jiangnan in the crack of reality weakly clung to the pages of the book, as if all the strength in his body had been drained. He pressed his head against it, his eyes bloodshot!
"1728 times! Since mastering Black Hole Devouring Star, in all these years, you used it a total of 1728 times!"
"A lifetime of experiences and memories spanning only twenty or thirty years! How much do you have left? How could you forget Da Lang Mie? How could you forget her…"
"Why… is it like this… why is reality so cruel…"
