# Chapter 3048: A War Fought Alone!
After entering the starry sky, Jiang Fan truly entered his period of explosive growth!
The starry sky was a larger stage with more opportunities. Every one of the ten thousand races possessed unique abilities!
All of these would become nourishment for Jiang Fan!
But Jiang Fan still found that his strength was insufficient—insufficient to protect Blue Star, insufficient to protect humanity!
Facing the profound heritage of the Bose Clan and a behemoth like Holy Star!
Jiang Fan couldn't grow at full capacity, charge toward the peak, and simultaneously protect Blue Star and prevent humanity from being extinguished!
You can't have your cake and eat it too!
Countless gazes were fixed on Blue Star. Even if Holy Star held back for now, other races would still make their move!
And a single small mistake would lead to Blue Star's annihilation, ceasing to exist entirely!
So... Jiang Fan thought of a compromise!
Thus, the First Thousand Stars Great Calamity occurred!
Jiang Fan, alone, gave it his all, nearly dismantling half of the Thousand Stars City, which symbolized starry sky civilization, leaving countless dead and wounded!
This was his revenge against Holy Star and the Bose Clan, but also his roar of defiance against the unjust rules of the era!
In this battle, the Sacred Law Council even deployed Star Devourer-level experts, hoping to completely crush Jiang Fan!
If they didn't act now, they feared they might never have another chance!
Yet even Star Devourer experts couldn't do anything to Jiang Fan!
Jiang Fan couldn't defeat a Star Devourer, but a Star Devourer couldn't kill him either!
That day, Jiang Fan became the calamity of starry sky civilization!
The Sacred Law Council even wanted to directly strike at humanity, using Blue Star's continued existence as leverage!
But Jiang Fan coldly replied:
"You can do that. You can destroy Blue Star. But if you do, calamities like the Thousand Stars Great Calamity will unfold in every major city across the starry sky and in every race's home star domain!"
"I, Jiang Fan, will then have no restraints whatsoever. You will have lost all means to control me. I will take revenge on every race, one by one, slaughtering without mercy!"
"If you cannot kill me, any form of assassination will only make me stronger! I will become the nightmare of all of you! The calamity of an entire era!"
In the end, the Sacred Law Council compromised. They did not want the Thousand Stars Great Calamity to happen a second time!
Stabilize Jiang Fan first, and deal with the rest later!
And Jiang Fan, likewise, made his own concessions; otherwise, Blue Star simply couldn't survive!
Thus, between Jiang Fan and the Sacred Law Council, the Ten Thousand Races Accord was born!
All spiritual power across Blue Star was sealed off, and the surrounding star domain was sealed. No race or individual could enter the sealed star domain in any form or disturb Blue Star's normal development process!
Otherwise, Jiang Fan would break the agreement and unleash a calamity as great as the Thousand Stars Great Calamity!
Of course, those being protected did not include Jiang Fan himself!
During the period the Ten Thousand Races Accord was in effect, Jiang Fan could not destroy any race's home star domain or major cities; otherwise, the agreement would be void!
Furthermore, Jiang Fan had to constantly endure attacks from the Sacred Law Council and the ten thousand races of the starry sky!
If Jiang Fan couldn't hold on and died, then the Ten Thousand Races Accord would naturally become void!
The Sacred Law Council dreamed day and night of finishing off Jiang Fan; they would never let him go!
After the Thousand Stars Great Calamity, Blue Star finally had the capital to survive, no longer needing to worry about some expert suddenly striking and wiping it out!
But the前提 was that Jiang Fan had to hold on and survive!
And even Jiang Fan himself didn't know if he could hold on. If he died in the starry sky, what would happen to humanity...?
So he made his own preparations. He snatched a massive amount of Origin Stones from the Sacred Law Council, compressed them into the Origin Spark, and hid it within the Moon's core!
He also erected a monument at the Moon's core and left behind that message...
If one day he was no longer around, the Blue Star Star Ruins Project could be restarted. With that, humanity might still have a chance...
Jiang Fan never wanted this Origin Spark to be ignited, because that would mean something had happened to him...
But if one day, this Origin Spark was truly ignited by future generations, would the Moon turn blue?
When that time comes... perhaps he would no longer be there. And this blue moon would be his gift to humanity, to Yue Lan...
Yue Lan... Yue Lan...
Jiang Fan ultimately left. From then on, until he entered the Final Black Hole, he never returned to Blue Star...
He faced the Sacred Law Council and the assassination attempts of the entire ten thousand races alone!
The endless pursuit was a war against the entire world!
If one day Jiang Fan couldn't hold on and was killed, that would be the end of Blue Star and humanity!
Alone, he withstood all the storms for humanity in the starry sky!
Fight, flee, fight again, flee again!
Any battle that couldn't kill Jiang Fan only made him stronger!
He was like a brilliant star shining in the starry sky, as if no one could extinguish his light!
Jiang Fan's name became the top spot on the bounty list, with a reward of +∞. He was hated and resented by all the ten thousand races, seen as a calamity, a formidable enemy!
He was forced into dimensional gaps, encountered the Black God, fought the Black God, barely escaped with his life, and was also forced into the Minghe Star Domain's eight million light-year Stygian River!
He blinded one of Nether's eyes!
Ever since leaving Blue Star, Jiang Fan had been fighting and fleeing, never daring to rest for a moment!
Because he knew that if he died, the Ten Thousand Races Accord would become void. So he had to hold on, no matter what!
Yet because of Jiang Fan's power, his name even became a taboo in the starry sky. No one dared to speak his true name, not even Star Devourer-level existences!
But the Sacred Law Council would never let Jiang Fan go. He had to die. In this era, anyone who dared to challenge the laws of the starry sky would come to no good end!
The great encirclement that changed Jiang Fan's fate still happened. All member races of the Sacred Law Council had Star Devourers participating in the encirclement, and each race dispatched a large number of troops!
They vowed to make Jiang Fan disappear from the starry sky entirely!
With nowhere left to turn, Jiang Fan was forced into the Final Star Domain. Desperate to become stronger and change this situation, Jiang Fan's gaze fell upon the largest Final Black Hole!
Jiang Fan knew that no one in the starry sky could shake the Final Black Hole!
If he once grasped its power, no one would be able to suppress him anymore!
If this continued, Jiang Fan didn't know when he would die—today, tomorrow, or in the next battle!
The Ten Thousand Races Accord might not last forever. Relying on it, he couldn't win this war, couldn't fulfill the expectations and entrustments of countless old friends and stars!
Though the Final Black Hole was terrifying beyond measure, with ten thousand stars accompanying me, what did I, Jiang Fan, have to fear?
This time, things would surely go smoothly, just like always!
If even I cannot conquer this black hole, then no one in this world can ever covet its power!
And so, under the pressure of the great encirclement!
Jiang Fan resolutely stepped toward the Final Black Hole, his eyes filled with confidence and the light of anticipated victory!
"Sister Lan... wait for me! Wait for me! Victory is within reach, wait for me..."
But at this moment, the future Jiang Fan within the Time Star completely lost control!
He frantically reached for his past self, screaming hysterically:
"No! Don't! Don't go in! You have other choices! You don't have to go in! Face the encirclement! Fight! Battle!"
"Don't enter the Final Black Hole! You can't conquer it! It will take everything from you! It will make you lose everything!"
"You bastard! Fool! Complete fool! Don't go in! Don't!"
The future Jiang Fan, eyes red, desperately tried to stop him, but the Time Star did not obey him. His body passed through his past self over and over again...
This... was still not his time!
Jiang Fan... ultimately stepped into the Final Black Hole, full of hope, leaving that silhouette on the event horizon!
That silhouette later seen by Mountain Cat and the others...
At this moment, the future Jiang Fan within the Time Star knelt in the void, pounding his thighs in regret, his fingernails digging into his palms...
"Why... why couldn't you consider the consequences? The consequences of not conquering the Final Black Hole..."
"You lost everyone, every star!"
"You bastard... you absolute bastard!"
"No... you... are me! I am the one who is the bastard!"
The future Jiang Fan curled up within the Time Star, the self-blame and regret almost completely devouring him...
He wished he could just disappear entirely!
If he hadn't chosen to enter the Final Black Hole back then, none of this would have happened!
Perhaps he could have survived one encirclement after another, grown to the peak of the starry sky, truly brought humanity onto the starry sky stage, won this war, and rewritten the rules of this era...
But... the cruel reality was that there were no "ifs"!
Choosing to enter the Final Black Hole had both made Jiang Fan and utterly destroyed everything...
The future Jiang Fan's heart ached so much he couldn't breathe...
"I was wrong... wrong... I'm sorry, Sister Lan... I'm sorry..."
One wrong step, and Jiang Fan fell into the bottomless abyss called the Final Black Hole!
......
After the great encirclement, Jiang Fan disappeared from the starry sky. No one knew where he had gone, whether he was still alive, and no one knew he had entered the Final Black Hole!
But even though Jiang Fan had vanished without a trace, his fearsome reputation still shook the starry sky!
The Ten Thousand Races Accord established back then was still in effect, because the Sacred Law Council didn't want to take any more risks. What if Jiang Fan wasn't dead and suddenly popped up again one day?
What if they provoked another troublesome character like Jiang Fan?
Even Holy Star didn't dare to defy the will of the world and openly attack Blue Star anymore!
After all, the Sacred Law Council wasn't solely the Bose Clan's domain!
Compared to the benefits of turning humanity into slave species, the risk of suffering Jiang Fan's revenge was far greater!
So even in the three thousand years after Jiang Fan's disappearance, the unyielding Holy Star only dared to act covertly under the Ten Thousand Races Accord, never daring to make a big commotion...
The name Jiang Fan was a mountain weighing down on everyone's heads!
......
In the lonely starry sky, within the Time Star, Jiang Fan, filled with endless regret and self-blame, wept!
This feeling was even more agonizing than death itself!
Because even this last Time Star left to him by Sister Lan could not be preserved. This time travel would drain all the Time Star's power!
Eventually, it would completely disappear before his eyes...
The Time Star fluctuated, but the starlight it emitted still shone upon Jiang Fan!
And now, the Time Star, with little power remaining, was no longer out of control but was once again governed by Jiang Fan himself!
All because the Time Star had completed its mission, already showing Jiang Fan the way forward!
But even so, the Time Star's disappearance was still inevitable...
Jiang Fan's eyes were tearful: "Even this last star... is going to leave me?"
"Sister Lan... are you leaving me too?"
"I can't blame anyone else... I can only blame myself. It's all my fault..."
At this moment, Jiang Fan couldn't help but clench his fists, watching helplessly as the power within the Time Star slowly drained away...
His gaze gradually grew complicated:
"No... I don't want that! There's still a chance! A chance to reclaim every star..."
