# Chapter 3040: Gods! Can They Also Feel Anger?
Xun Zu's death was not particularly conspicuous—one might even say it was merely incidental!
He perished under the collision of the two worlds, and compared to the violent clash of those two worlds, the scene of Xun Zu's Eternal World being shattered was utterly insignificant!
Lighter than a feather!
Jiang Fan did not stop. He continued to forcefully press down on his Starry World, as if determined to completely crush Jiangnan's Boundless World!
Jiangnan was stunned for a moment, but likewise showed no intention of backing down, lowering his head and charging forward!
Why the hell should I give in to you?
The collision between the two worlds grew increasingly intense. Everything around them had already collapsed into chaos!
The entire Ten Thousand Races Starry World trembled under this great heaven-and-earth clash!
Because either one of these two individuals was an existence capable of destroying it completely!
And now they were colliding *inside* it?
Wouldn't this arena get shattered to pieces?
As the rules of the two worlds clashed, it was like pouring a basin of cold water into a pot of boiling oil. The incompatible rules were squeezed to their limits, and then exploded with a deafening roar!
*BOOM!*
The divine might that burst forth forced both worlds back, tore through the Ten Thousand Races Starry World's fabric, and the world's barrier seemed on the verge of splitting open at any moment!
The Starry World and the Boundless World each shrank, transforming into world-bubbles!
Jiangnan and Jiang Fan's will-bodies manifested, standing opposite each other!
Jiang Fan raised his hand and grasped the Star Sword, its blade-light pointing directly at Jiangnan's brow, killing intent chilling to the bone!
Jiangnan squinted, a dimensional blade coalescing in his hand!
"What? Now that the Final Black Hole has jetted, your main body is out, Xun Zu is dead, and you've gotten what you wanted!"
"Everything is over, and you still want to fight?"
"Are you not satisfied unless you destroy this world? Is there no end to this?!"
The flames of rage blazed fiercely within Jiang Fan's chest. He had been completely consumed by anger!
"My main body is indeed out, but all the stars that have accompanied me until now—those stars from old friends—are gone!"
"Never to return!"
"If you hadn't been blocking me all along, the Final Plan would have been completed long ago! If you hadn't withdrawn into the Life Forbidden Zone, Xun Zu wouldn't have attacked the Accretion Disk, and I wouldn't have been forced to pour all my stars into it!"
"You've been stopping me every step of the way! And now I've lost everything—lost all my stars!"
"You, Jiangnan, must pay the price for this!"
When Jiangnan heard this, two veins bulged on his forehead!
"Pay the price? What, you want to kill me or something?"
"Now you're blaming me for stopping you? Fine! I should have just gone along with you from the start! When you first proposed the Final Plan, I should have rallied everyone to help you wholeheartedly!"
"Helped you collect starry matter, finish the Final Plan early, let the Final Black Hole jet, and let your main body out to deal with Xun Zu, right? That would have satisfied you, wouldn't it?"
"And then everyone would fucking die from the Final Black Hole's jet, the Ten Thousand Races Starry World would be destroyed, and only you, Jiang Fan, would be left—that's your Final Plan!"
"The black hole jet would kill everyone. No one would survive, not even humanity! By the time you came out to create a new world, it would already be too late—everyone would be dead!"
"So I'm not allowed to stop you? I have to help you make the Final Black Hole jet and destroy everything?"
"Jiang Fan! Let me ask you this: *why*? Why the fuck should I do this for you? You miscalculated the power of the Final Black Hole's jet! You got it wrong from the very beginning!"
"Your mistake—everyone has to bear the cost with their lives?!"
If Jiangnan hadn't blocked that strike with his own world, everything would have been over!
Jiang Fan gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot:
"I didn't know the jet would be this powerful! The future is blurry—growing blurrier and blurrier!"
"I just wanted to get out of the Life Forbidden Zone!"
Jiangnan roared with rage: "Did *I* stop you from getting out? From start to finish, I've been trying to figure out a way to free you!"
"Did I not try? To fish you out, I even charged into the Final Black Hole and got trapped there myself!"
"After you came out, you wouldn't listen to me at all! You didn't give me half a chance. You just looked straight at the future, strangled its possibilities, and saw all the way to the Final Black Hole's jet! I advised you, but did you listen?"
"Did you ever listen to me? You had already made up your mind to execute that damned Final Plan! To destroy the world, reboot the starry sky, and ruin everything!"
"So I'm supposed to listen to you, follow along and do it too? Now that all your stars are gone, you blame *us* for stopping you?"
"Your Final Plan was meant to destroy everything—how could we *not* stop you? Where in the world is there such logic?"
"Your stars were destroyed by *you*! Destroyed by your own arrogance! You destroyed them with your own hands!"
Jiang Fan's glare fixed on Jiangnan, his grip on the Star Sword tightening!
"Shut up! You have no right to comment on my stars!"
Jiangnan gritted his teeth: "I'm going to say it today! I don't want to accommodate you anymore, and I don't want to hold back anymore!"
"I know you care about humanity. I know your desire for humanity to survive. Without you, the situation wouldn't have lasted until today!"
"Without you, Jiang Fan, humanity would have no future. No one can deny the contributions you've made to humanity! But merit is merit, and fault is fault!"
"Following your Final Plan, the only outcome is destruction! And now you still want to destroy *me*, destroy the Ten Thousand Races, and ruin everything?"
"Jiang Fan! Have you ever truly examined yourself? You are powerful! You are proud! Your talent is number one in the entire starry sky! No one can surpass you! You are confident, proud, and arrogant!"
"Humanity survived and had a future because of you, Jiang Fan—we weren't turned into slave races from the very beginning. But humanity has also been paying for your mistakes, paying the price for your reckless actions!"
"I've seen your past! You had other choices! Back then, you weren't forced into a corner where you *had* to enter the Final Black Hole! But you still stepped in and chose the biggest one, because you thought you could conquer it—conquer the power of the black hole!"
"But you didn't! When you went in, did you ever think about the consequences? The Final Black Hole made you, but it also destroyed you! It erased the person you used to be!"
Jiang Fan's teeth ground together, his expression growing more ferocious:
"I told you to shut up! Can't you hear me?"
Jiangnan squinted: "Look at yourself now. Look at everything you're doing... Jiang Fan... Are you truly fulfilling the trust of your old friends? Are you living up to their expectations?"
"You view this world with divinity, making what you believe to be the most correct judgments. But have you ever turned your gaze upon yourself?"
Jiang Fan was furious, his aura blazing like wildfire!
"Stop talking! I told you to fucking stop!"
"I don't care what happens to this shitty world! I don't care if anyone else lives or dies!"
"All I know is that *my stars* are gone! They'll never come back! No one will watch over me silently from the starry sky anymore!"
"The pain in my chest, this rage, this thing that's almost burning me alive—I *have* to respond to it!"
"I *will* make you all pay the price! If you hadn't stopped me, they wouldn't have disappeared! Never!"
At this moment, Jiang Fan's roar carried a frantic, hysterical fury!
This version of Jiang Fan—no one had seen since his clone emerged from the Final Black Hole!
The usual Jiang Fan was calm, rational, viewing everything in this world with a divinity that towered above all else!
Perhaps Jiangnan had once stirred something in Jiang Fan, but in the end, Jiang Fan had washed it away, leaving only his divinity as the sole truth!
But not anymore!
Jiang Fan, now pure white and fully divine, had fallen into extreme rage because of the loss of his stars—the loss of his old friends' celestial bodies!
Consumed by anger, he had lost the rationality he once possessed as a god!
"Starfall Annihilation!"
In that moment, countless brilliant stars lit up within Jiang Fan's Starry World. The power of rules converged, and he unleashed the strongest strike he had ever made since creating his world!
It slashed straight toward Jiangnan!
But Jiangnan didn't dodge. Madness filled his eyes, and he let out a self-deprecating, manic laugh:
"So... even gods can feel anger?"
"You're just lashing out, putting your own mistakes on others. This feeling of being ruled by rage—it's been a while, hasn't it?"
"If you want to fight, then I'll fight you to the end!"
"Let's see who's stronger—you or me!"
Jiangnan gritted his teeth, his gaze flickering constantly.
Although Jiang Fan was now completely consumed by rage, in a way, this was a good thing for Jiangnan!
Now that Jiang Fan had emerged from the Life Forbidden Zone, there was no more Realm Source energy constantly wearing him down. Even if he drew out more Realm Source energy, it would be borne by his own world!
The bearing limit of a world was immense. As long as it kept evolving and expanding, the Realm Source energy couldn't be stored up, so the problem of attrition wouldn't arise again!
And now, Jiang Fan had lost all his old friends' stars. While this was a cruel blow to Jiang Fan, it was precisely because those stars had been lost that a crack had opened in the pure white divinity of Jiang Fan!
A touch of anger had been added to the pure white canvas!
Jiang Fan was no longer purely white. He now possessed rage, and he was being ruled by this singular emotion of fury—utterly insane!
This was a good start for Jiang Fan. It gave him the possibility of adding other colors to that blank canvas!
So what Jiangnan had to do was stoke the rare flame of anger that had been born in Jiang Fan's chest, and keep it burning!
Perhaps he could even drag Jiang Fan down from the emotionless, merciless throne of godhood!
From the very beginning, Jiangnan had never given up on Jiang Fan. Even now, that was still the case!
Jiangnan was still trying to add color to the pure white Jiang Fan—even if that color was born from anger directed at himself!
Then let's fight!
Let's have a full-blown battle!
Once, Jiang Fan had single-handedly tried to pull humanity out of the endless pitch-black abyss, attempting to achieve humanity's salvation!
And now, Jiangnan was trying to drag Jiang Fan down from that emotionless, merciless divine throne!
To complete Jiang Fan's redemption!
Jiangnan didn't know how it would end. He didn't even know if he would succeed!
But... it was worth a try!
Consider it repayment for everything Jiang Fan had done for humanity so far!
He wants to fight? Then I'll accompany him!
Don't suppress the anger in your chest! Aim it all at me!
I can take it!
"Come on! Is this all you've got?"
"Want me to pay the price? This isn't enough! Not nearly enough!"
"Jiang Fan! Did you skip a meal?"
