# Chapter 3047: An Era Supported by One Man, Walking Alone…
The night was as heavy as water, the full moon hung high, and the battlefield before the Broken Horizon Heaven was utterly silent!
Corpses littered the fields, beast carcasses piled up like mountains, blood had turned into streams that gurgled as they flowed, staining the earth beneath crimson red...
Only flocks of crows were gnawing at the corpses, their scarlet eyes fixed on the already shattered Broken Horizon Heaven!
And on the silent battlefield, under the starlight and moonlight, the endless blood converged, forming Jiang Fan's body...
He knelt on the ground, his face pale, coughing violently. The crows took flight in startled flocks...
Jiang Fan was not dead. With over three thousand stars and hundreds of life-saving methods, dying was difficult for him!
His self-destruction was merely a means of self-preservation. If he tried to flee, he could never escape the Holy Star's pursuit to the ends of the earth...
Only by living this way could he survive!
How Jiang Fan wished he could simply die, so he wouldn't have to face all this...
But he still chose to return, chose to continue walking forward!
He could not slack off, not even for a moment, because all the stars were watching him!
Jiang Fan turned to look at the battlefield covered in mutilated corpses, tears streaming from his eyes...
He casually picked up a broken sword from the battlefield and began digging graves on the spot, burying the cold, mutilated remains of the Xiaolong Iron Cavalry and the Golden Spear Camp soldiers!
He thrust the sword into the ground before each low grave mound, serving as a tombstone...
He had been entrusted with their stars, so he also had to bury their bodies...
On the silent battlefield, only Jiang Fan was busy. He buried until he was numb. Many soldiers' bodies were incomplete, some had no bodies at all...
He found Yuelan's corpse. The aged body was cold, with no warmth left, already gnawed and mutilated by spirit beasts, unrecognizable!
Jiang Fan wept, cradling Yuelan's cold body in his arms, holding it tightly, sobbing loudly!
On the battlefield, only Jiang Fan's cries echoed!
"Sister Lan... why... why did it have to come to this..."
But no matter what Jiang Fan did, his Sister Lan could not come back...
He held Yuelan's body until a hint of pale dawn appeared in the night sky...
He cut off a lock of his own black hair and tied it to Yuelan's blood-stained white hair!
It was a gesture of hair-binding...
Hair-bound... wife...
I cannot grow old together with you, there is no place for you in my future, but for the rest of my life, you are the only one I will love...
From then on, Jiang Fan never opened his heart to any other woman. Just one Yuelan had already filled his entire being!
Even though she was no longer there...
In the end, Jiang Fan buried her with his own hands!
Having dug who knows how many graves and buried countless bodies, Jiang Fan's fingers were dripping with blood!
He walked like this to the foot of the ruined Broken Horizon Heaven!
The morning sun rose, dawn arrived!
Warm sunlight spilled onto the battlefield. Jiang Fan turned back to look at the battlefield—the dense clusters of grave mounds, the countless broken sword tombstones casting long, narrow shadows under the morning sun!
And all those sword shadows pointed in one direction!
As if telling Jiang Fan... Move forward! Always move forward, never stop!
We have been buried in the past, but you... must step toward the future!
Jiang Fan's eyes streamed with hot tears. Standing beneath the Broken Horizon Heaven, he used his blood-stained hand to carve a passage into the stone wall of the cliff!
"If we do not triumph! I would rather die with you!"
After carving it, Jiang Fan did not look back. He crossed the Broken Horizon Heaven and walked toward the distance!
Under the dawn light, the young man began his own journey, a journey walked alone without companions!
His only company... was the starry sky above!
And within the Time Star, the future Jiang Fan's eyes were bloodshot. Trembling, he reached out his hand, wanting to touch the words on the cliff wall!
But unsurprisingly, his hand passed right through—this was not his own time!
Once before, when Jiang Fan's clone emerged from a black hole and returned to Blue Star, he had come here!
This place was already overgrown with vines; the natural barrier had become a low, collapsed cliff. Even the words on the stone wall had been blurred by wind and sand!
Back then... he had come here together with Jiangnan...
And he... had casually wiped away the words on the stone wall, thinking they were just words, just the immature scribbles of a young man discouraged after a setback, not worth preserving!
But no! That was not the case!
At this moment, Jiang Fan could feel the state of mind and determination he had when carving those words!
It was the direction pointed out by countless soldiers!
And he had wiped it away without even a second glance...
The future Jiang Fan looked at the countless grave mounds and cenotaphs on the battlefield. His heart ached so much he could barely breathe!
Because all the stars entrusted to him had vanished... he had lost them!
Jiang Fan clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with regret. He raised his large hand and slapped himself hard across the face, leaving his cheek red and his lips bloody!
Again and again, he slapped himself!
He did not hate anyone!
At this moment, he only hated himself!
The bastard that he was!
But even so, those stars would never return!
He knelt in the Time Star, looked up, and cried out loud, tears streaming endlessly, grief overwhelming him...
The Jiang Fan of the past had already left, but the Jiang Fan of the future remained here...
...
The Jiang Fan who walked out from the Broken Horizon Heaven battlefield saw only ruined cities with crumbling walls, rotting corpses, and ravaged farmland...
He wandered aimlessly until he reached the southern frontier garrison!
The Xiaolong Iron Cavalry, totaling 348,271 soldiers, had only Jiang Fan present...
After that, Jiang Fan did not appear in public view. Instead, he silently hid his identity, blending into the battlefields!
He had barely escaped the Holy Star's sight; he could not afford to be exposed yet. He was still not strong enough...
Long Chen was dead, Yuelan had passed. The Eastern Ancient Kingdom's situation was undoubtedly more desperate. But there was still Jiang Fan—the hope of all humanity!
He was secretly nurtured, working as a body collector, moving through various battlefields, collecting stars, growing silently, enduring!
He could not reveal himself. Even when he encountered battles he could have turned around, he could only watch helplessly as everything unfolded!
Jiang Fan carried more and more stars on his shoulders—from elders, close friends, brothers, and strangers he had never met!
Jiang Fan grew quickly, but his growth was always accompanied by the passing of those around him!
No one walked beside him on his path. His only companions were the stars scattered across the sky!
Matters like those on the Broken Horizon Heaven battlefield—Jiang Fan had experienced them countless times...
He even thought he had forgotten how to cry, for his tears had long dried up!
Thanks to his spatial star ability, Jiang Fan's footprints covered the entire Blue Star as he went everywhere collecting stars!
And by combining and deploying his stars, he formed his own unique cultivation system, his strength growing by leaps and bounds!
Upon him was gathered the brilliance of all humanity from the First Spiritual Energy Revival Era!
...
The future Jiang Fan did not leave either. Instead, he followed his past self, experiencing all of this together, feeling every emotion in his past self's heart...
The canvas... was no longer pure white!
It had been painted with colors of every hue!
He was no longer a god without emotion or nature, but had once again become human...
...
As time passed, the Holy Star decided it was time to proceed with the Star Ruins War!
It was time to turn humans into slave species and add another Star Ruins to the Star Fall Round Hall!
They even set up a starry sky livestream, wanting to show the entire cosmos the potential of humans, so they could sell them at a better price later!
With humanity's strength, there was no way they could win the Star Ruins War!
But they miscalculated!
The Jiang Fan they thought was dead had returned, bringing with him over ten thousand ability stars, returning with overwhelming force!
As soon as the battle began, he slaughtered the Bose bodies until they were in complete disarray!
Jiang Fan even absorbed the Bose bodies' abilities into his stars!
Even when the Bose bodies fled into the fourth dimension, they could not escape Jiang Fan's slashes!
He personally killed the Bose body that had forced Long Chen and Yuelan to their deaths on the Broken Horizon Heaven battlefield!
He tore its body into a thousand pieces, ground its bones to dust. Jiang Fan had kept his promise!
With the combination of time and space stars, plus the ability combinations from tens of thousands of stars,
ordinary Star-Breaker level Bose bodies could do nothing to Jiang Fan!
Jiang Fan even killed a Spiritual Medium Bose body on Blue Star, causing the triangular fatty to lose its master and become stranded on Blue Star!
This battle stunned the entire starry sky!
Because the starry sky had never seen such an abnormally talented existence!
Humans were directly rated as having Monarch-level talent!
But no matter how strong Jiang Fan was, in the end, he was only one person!
Yet he was facing the entire Bose race—the ruler of the starry sky, one of the four major factions: the Holy Star!
And how could the Holy Star allow itself to be defeated?
So they sent even more powerful beings, even bringing the Star Collection Bead. You're strong, are you? You have many abilities?
Then let's see who is stronger!
This time, even Jiang Fan barely held on. But countless humans on Blue Star became his strongest support!
Countless human strongmen sacrificed themselves, burning everything, giving all they had to Jiang Fan!
"Go! Go fight! Lead humanity toward the future!"
This was the common wish of all humans in that era. The stars Jiang Fan carried grew more and more numerous!
It was an extremely brutal battle. Human strongmen were nearly wiped out, all turning into Jiang Fan's stars!
And it pushed Jiang Fan to an even higher peak!
Jiang Fan survived that battle. More importantly, he even absorbed a wave of abilities from the Star Collection Bead, which contained abilities from the myriad races of the starry sky!
The Star Collection Bead was originally a war weapon created by the Bose race to conveniently absorb the abilities of various races. Now Jiang Fan had stumbled upon a huge fortune!
His combat power surged again. He killed so many Holy Star members that none dared step foot on Blue Star!
Even Planet Destroyer level existences died under Jiang Fan's blade!
His very name became an absolute taboo!
Just uttering his true name would make Jiang Fan sense it and come killing!
This battle stunned the entire starry sky, beat back the Holy Star, and made him the biggest dark horse!
However, this was an era propped up by Jiang Fan alone. All his companions had fallen along the way, leaving him to walk alone...
But it was precisely because of this battle that humans became the hottest commodity in the entire starry sky. Who wouldn't want such slave stock?
Countless races from all over the starry sky had their eyes fixed on a single tiny Blue Star!
Although the Holy Star had been beaten back, they were temporarily unable to strike again due to face concerns. Developing a Star Ruins was not something that required dispatching Star-Swallowing level beings. Besides, the Starry Sky Law still existed at that time, and developing Star Ruins had its rules!
The Holy Star's second wave of attacks had already violated the rules. The Sacred Law Council was internally divided, with some member races using this opportunity to stir up trouble, especially the Silicon group, who were unusually active!
This left the Holy Star in a mess!
Moreover, sending people to Blue Star rashly would only get them killed by Jiang Fan and made him stronger!
After beating back the Holy Star, Blue Star enjoyed a rare period of peace!
But Jiang Fan knew the peace was only temporary. They would eventually make a move on Blue Star. His current strength was far from enough!
His real enemy had always been the Holy Star, the ruler of the starry sky—the Bose race!
If he didn't truly become strong, he couldn't protect humanity or win this war!
And by now, Jiang Fan actually had little attachment left for Blue Star. Almost all of humanity's strongmen were dead. Friends, elders, brothers, comrades-in-arms—none remained. Almost all had turned into stars, becoming Jiang Fan's power!
Everyone who had walked with him along this journey was already gone...
For Jiang Fan, Blue Star was a place of heartache—just thinking about it brought pain...
So Jiang Fan decided to step into the starry sky, seek opportunities, and finally put an end to this war!
And so, carrying the endless stars, he alone set off into the starry sky...
With the stars for company, he was not lonely...
