# Chapter 3046: My Stars Will Guide Your Way...
All of Long Chen's being had transformed into that spatial star, hanging high in the starry night sky of Jiang Fan's constellation!
...
At this moment, within the Time Star, the future Jiang Fan watched this scene with a pained expression, clutching his hair with both hands, shaking his head continuously, tears welling in his eyes...
"No... don't, why did it have to be like this!"
He slammed his fist heavily against his own chest!
He wished he could kill himself right now!
An endless wave of regret spread through his heart. At this moment, Jiang Fan truly felt the weight of that spatial star!
It was Brother Long Chen's complete and total entrustment, not a tool, not that!
Yet that star... had been melted away by him, assimilated into the starry world, completely vanished...
A tearing pain tore through his heart, driving Jiang Fan nearly mad at this moment!
...
On the battlefield, the young Jiang Fan roared in fury, but it couldn't change the fact that Long Chen was dead!
Yue Lan held Jiang Fan tightly!
"Go! Go! Only by surviving is there hope!"
But the Bose leader let out a sneer!
"Go? Where to? Lan Xing is only so big, where can you possibly go?"
As he spoke, the Bose had already surrounded the two, their faces full of amusement!
The Bose leader raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on Jiang Fan!
"His ability... seems to have been transferred to you, hasn't it? Not just his... it seems the abilities of all those who have died have been transferred to you, right?"
"A time system, and an unknown ability? Rather interesting, eh?"
"Seize him!"
The Bose grinned maliciously, wielding their holy judgment blades, slashing straight toward the two!
With a "clang," Jiang Fan drew his sword, his aura surging wildly, murderous intent blazing in his eyes!
But Yue Lan grabbed him, holding him tightly in her embrace, activating a time-stopping light sphere!
Several high-dimensional slashes pierced into the time-stopping light sphere, slowly closing in on the two!
Yue Lan wasn't very strong, and the time-stopping sphere couldn't achieve complete stillness!
The high-dimensional slashes slowly penetrated the sphere, compressing their living space!
Yue Lan could only use all her strength to slow time as much as possible!
Jiang Fan's eyes were red: "Sister Lan, let go! Let me go! They killed Brother Long Chen, I want to—"
But Yue Lan shook her head: "Jiang Fan! Jiang Fan! Listen to me! Listen!"
"The gap is too great! Don't go and die for nothing. If even you die here, I truly don't know how humanity can continue!"
Jiang Fan looked at Yue Lan with unwilling eyes, tears streaming down like rain!
Yet Yue Lan was still smiling, a very warm smile, reaching out to wipe away Jiang Fan's tears:
"It's your sister who's useless. Your sister's rank is low, my cultivation is slow, too many restrictions, I can't change any of this!"
"But you can! You definitely can! You've already obtained Long Chen's spatial star, and with my time star, you will form your own system. The problems I couldn't solve, with those stars, you will definitely be able to solve them!"
"You will grow into the most dazzling existence among humanity! I, Yue Lan, won't misjudge; the man I've set my sights on will never disappoint me..."
Jiang Fan was utterly stunned, shaking his head continuously: "Sister Lan... what star of yours? What are you trying to do? No! I don't want this!"
"Let's survive together!"
But golden light particles were already precipitating from Yue Lan's body, floating toward Jiang Fan's starry night sky!
Jiang Fan cried, frantically grabbing at the golden light particles in the air!
"Don't! Sister Lan Lan! I beg you! Stop, okay? Except for this, I'll listen to everything else you say! Don't do this to me!"
"Why are you being so cruel to me? How am I supposed to live on after this!"
Yue Lan's eyes were full of pity, continuously wiping away Jiang Fan's tears:
"I'm sorry... I know, the one who survives is the one who suffers most. They have to bear the burden of the dead, carry the dreams of those who have passed..."
"It's your sister who's useless, making you bear all this alone. But under the current situation, only like this... can you survive, can you have a future, become the true hope of humanity!"
"I'm sorry, I love you... but I cannot walk into the future together with you..."
Jiang Fan cried, shaking his head continuously. He begged, but couldn't stop Yue Lan from giving everything she had to that night sky!
Yue Lan's appearance visibly aged at a visible rate!
"Sister Lan! Don't be like this! You said I was supposed to protect you! But you—"
Tears welled in Yue Lan's eyes too, yet she gently stroked Jiang Fan's cheek and kissed him deeply!
This kiss sealed Jiang Fan's lips, and also the words he was about to say!
Jiang Fan was completely frozen, his heart feeling as if it were being cut!
He could feel the life draining from Yue Lan, the Time Star gradually taking shape!
After the kiss, Yue Lan hugged Jiang Fan tightly, rested her chin on his shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes!
She whispered softly in his ear: "Live on... in my stead. Survive! Win! Win this war!"
"Your sister Lan hasn't disappeared... You know? After death, people turn into stars in the sky, and I too will become a star, always watching over you, accompanying you until the end of time... forever..."
"Becoming that star that belongs only to you! Loving you... is the luckiest thing I've ever experienced in my life!"
"Escape! Escape to the ends of the earth, find a way to survive by any means. Don't grieve for me. As long as you are well... I will be content..."
Jiang Fan's tears poured down like a torrent. He wanted to look at Yue Lan, but she held him tightly, preventing him from moving...
"Don't look at me. I want you to remember me forever as your youthful, beautiful Sister Lan... I don't want you to see me old and withered..."
Jiang Fan's heart bled, because he could see Yue Lan's golden hair turning white at a visible rate...
She had given everything to him...
At this moment, the white-haired Yue Lan gazed at the empty void, a smile on her face:
"Jiang Fan... Your future path may be very difficult, full of thorns and mud. Even you might lose your way one day..."
"If that day comes, look up at the stars in the sky. My star... will guide your way..."
"Complete it... Complete our shared dream. Take care of yourself... No matter what happens in the future, no matter where it leads... We... have never disappeared..."
As she spoke, Yue Lan exhausted her last bit of strength, slowly closing her eyes, still with a smile at the corners of her mouth!
Dying in the arms of the one she loved, she was already very satisfied!
And those last words she spoke—she had always been gazing at the empty void as she said them...
At this moment, the future Jiang Fan within the Time Star had nearly collapsed, tears blurring his vision!
He kept reaching out, trying to stop everything!
Even if it meant using this one and only chance!
If he could make Yue Lan live, change all this, even if it meant letting her live a little longer, accompany him a little further along the way!
But this was ultimately wishful thinking!
The Time Star was not under his control; he could only be a spectator, watching everything happen as it unfolded!
Witnessing the departure of his beloved with his own eyes!
Yue Lan was dead, died in his arms, buried in the past!
Once upon a time, the Divine Jiang Fan thought none of this mattered; he could calmly flip through the pages of the past without any emotional fluctuation!
But now, having been brought back to the past by the Time Star, witnessing everything firsthand, everything had become different. His heart ached as if being torn apart!
Jiang Fan understood clearly: these words were spoken by Yue Lan to the Jiang Fan of the past, and also to himself of the present!
The void she gazed at was precisely the direction of the Time Star!
She must have felt something, which was why she so resolutely chose to sacrifice herself, giving everything to him, turning into a star in the sky!
And the Time Star, spanning the long river of time, bringing him back here, was no coincidence!
Just as Yue Lan had said!
When you lose your way, look up at the stars in the sky. My star will guide your way!
And so... the Time Star brought Jiang Fan back here!
The future Jiang Fan had already sobbed uncontrollably!
Even though more than three thousand years had passed, were you still watching over me, caring for me, guiding my way?
Jiang Fan collapsed into the Time Star, nearly breaking down!
I... am not worthy of your trust, not worthy of being saved!
I melted away Brother Long Chen's spatial star, and even this Time Star—after this last time, it won't last either!
For my own sake, I destroyed all the stars. I destroyed them with my own hands!
They... are all gone now...
I am utterly and completely a bastard!
It's all because of me!
Jiang Fan clutched his head in self-blame, kneeling in the Time Star, curling into a ball...
The surging regret, self-blame, and guilt in his heart nearly drove Jiang Fan mad!
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry to all of you... I'm sorry... Sister Lan... I'm sorry..."
But countless apologies couldn't bring back those scattered stars!
...
Yue Lan died, died in Jiang Fan's arms!
But the eyes of the Bose lit up, looking at Jiang Fan as if they had discovered some rare treasure!
Even the Bose clan could only replicate two abilities at a time!
But they had witnessed with their own eyes Jiang Fan absorbing the abilities of Yue Lan and Long Chen, turning them into two stars!
"Tsk tsk tsk~ The abilities of humans are indeed varied, full of all sorts of strange and peculiar abilities. There are countless races in the starry sky, but this is the first time we've encountered something like this!"
"We've really struck gold this time. If my guess is correct, the gains from this will be enormous. Taking this human back to the clan for research—won't we all rise through the ranks, jump several levels?"
"Get him!"
Once Yue Lan died, the golden light sphere shattered, and high-dimensional slashes struck directly at Jiang Fan!
But having lost his beloved, Jiang Fan was already murderously mad!
Above his head, the starry night sky, a dozen stars lit up simultaneously!
Including the Time Star and the Space Star!
"Die!"
Jiang Fan's figure disappeared in an instant, appearing directly behind a Bose!
With time and space abilities combined, Jiang Fan's attack power reached a terrifying degree!
Under time-space stasis, even before the Bose could react, a sword sliced across its neck!
Its head flew up!
However, under the combined assault of several Bose, Jiang Fan could only evade!
The decapitated Bose flew into a rage, grabbing its head and putting it back on!
"You dare to wound me? Seems you need a lesson before you'll behave! Attack together!"
The Bose swarmed, trying to capture Jiang Fan alive, but he didn't flee!
Instead, he fought with all his might, wanting to avenge Yue Lan and Long Chen!
The murderers of his loved ones were right before his eyes. How could he look away!
But these Bose were far too strong for the current Jiang Fan to defeat!
He could only wound them, superficial injuries that the Bose didn't care about at all, still trying to capture Jiang Fan alive!
After obtaining the Time and Space ability stars, Jiang Fan's combat power when used together surpassed what the two had shown individually!
Yue Lan had to pay a price when using time abilities, but Jiang Fan could use substitute stars and other ability stars in combination, transferring the cost or reducing it to a bearable level!
These two abilities unleashed Jiang Fan's strongest combat power!
For the remaining soldiers on the battlefield, this was undoubtedly a ray of light in the darkness!
That Jiang Fan could actually wound the gods!
Long Chen had fallen, Yue Lan had fallen too, but Jiang Fan had risen!
It wasn't over yet!
But the battlefield's defenses had long been shattered by the beast tide!
Yet not a single soldier retreated. They all defended the Hengduan Mountain Range with their lives, protecting their homeland!
Every soldier, before dying, gave everything they had to Jiang Fan!
Some even self-destructed on the spot, just to give Jiang Fan a push!
"Kid! Charge! Kill those gods! Carry my star with you!"
"I can't live anyway. Count me in! Wipe them out!"
"Boom!"
"And mine too! Kid Jiang! Catch!"
"We will all become stars in the sky! Jiang Fan! Carry our dreams forward!"
Explosions of self-destruction echoed across the battlefield. Soldiers willingly died, turning into Jiang Fan's power!
Because he was worthy of their trust, he possessed the power to lead humanity into the future!
The more Jiang Fan fought, the redder his eyes became, screaming hysterically!
Don't! Don't do this to me!
I beg you!
The weight of life crushes me, I can't breathe!
Can I really win?
The more he fought, the more he felt the gap between himself and the Bose!
Reality was cruel!
In the end, all the soldiers on the battlefield were dead. There was no more roar of fury, no more sound of war drums!
With no obstacles left, the beast tide surged over the Hengduan Mountain Range, charging straight toward the lights of homes behind!
And in Jiang Fan's starry night sky, the number of ability stars had skyrocketed to over three thousand!
But he was still pushed to the limit by the Bose, bound and pinned down!
The Bose commander touched the sword wound on his face, looking disgusted:
"What a troublesome bastard. You'll soon know what hell is!"
"Take him back! Let's go!"
But Jiang Fan, with bloodshot eyes, stared fixedly at the Bose commander, murderous intent blazing!
"Hell? Hah~ I'm already in hell right now!"
"Wait! Just wait! Even if I die, I'll drag you all into hell with me! I'll make you feel the pain in my heart!"
"I'll return all this a thousandfold, ten thousandfold! Just wait!"
At this moment, Jiang Fan's aura grew increasingly dangerous!
Bose Commander: !!!
"Hey! Wait!"
But the next moment, Jiang Fan's body exploded violently, turning into blazing flames. The terrifying energy leveled half the battlefield!
He disappeared completely from the world!
The Bose Commander cursed in disgust: "Dead? What the hell were you lot doing? Couldn't stop him?"
The Bose underling's momentum faltered: "We... we tried to stop him, but it didn't work! Who knows how many weird abilities he had?"
The Bose Commander scolded: "Wasted! Who knows when we'll meet another one like this! Useless!"
The underling consoled him: "Eh~ Don't be angry, boss. Just a slave race. As long as Lan Xing Star Ruins develops successfully and breeds well, we can get whatever kind we want. This time, we've made a big contribution!"
"If there's one, there'll be a second, a third!"
The several Bose walked and talked, gradually disappearing from the battlefield, chasing after the beast tide!
These Bose had no idea that this "dead waste" they spoke of would, in the future, bring unimaginable trauma and stir up waves against the Bose clan, against the entire starry sky...
