# Chapter 3062: Departure! Adventure Never Ends! (Grand Finale)
Kicking Yakeli flying with one foot, Jiang Nan finally managed to save face!
He couldn't help but clear his throat twice, his expression turning serious:
(｡･ˇกˇ･) "Everyone, since the Star Era has been established and everything has fallen into place, Grandpa Xiao has reached the Cosmos Realm, and Yakeli has also returned!"
"If I stay any longer, it would be impolite. It's time to go to other worlds, collect resentment value, and bring Lan Bao'er back. This matter has been weighing on my mind and hasn't let me rest!"
"Besides, the matter of the Boundless Great World should also be put on the agenda. Since I've decided to do it and be that pioneer, I need to do it well. The hardest thing about anything is the distance from zero to one. Once you start doing it, success isn't far away!"
Hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned, then helpless expressions appeared on their faces!
Everyone knew that Jiang Nan would eventually leave this place, but they didn't expect this day to come so soon!
Everyone understood that someone like Jiang Nan couldn't be confined to a single world!
Although the Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World was vast, to Jiang Nan, it was nothing more than a slightly larger bubble, a cage!
His path was destined to extend forward, to clear the way for everyone!
All they could do was stand behind him and silently wish him well...
Noah wiped his nose, his eyes dimming:
(◞‸◟) "Leaving just like that? Won't it be lonely?"
Odin swallowed his saliva, raising an eyebrow:
(๑•̌～•̑) "Then how about... a drink?"
Jiang Nan was stunned, then grinned:
(๑◔◡◔ิ๑) "A drink!"
Everyone nodded:
(｡･ˇ◠ˇ･) "A drink, a drink!"
"Let's go?"
"Let's go!"
And so, things were happily decided. A crowd of people swarmed straight into Jiang Nan's Boundless World!
They decided to drink at his place, since this was going to become the Boundless Great World in the future. Coming for a drink to consecrate it first meant that even if they came later, it would be a revisit to an old haunt!
Chong Feiyu stared at this scene, dumbfounded on the spot!
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
Was men's conversation always this concise?
And... it was just decided like that?
So the news that Jiang Nan was about to depart spread. He would host a banquet in the Boundless World. Hearing this, everyone dropped what they were doing!
They all went to the Boundless World to attend the banquet!
After all, opportunities to make Jiang Nan treat everyone were rare, so naturally, no one would miss it!
At the heart of the Boundless World!
A giant void platform was generated, on which beautiful scenery was manifested through the Force of Will!
Icebergs, grasslands, forests, snowfields, waterfalls, flowing rapids, steaming clouds—and above this beautiful scenery was the boundless, brilliant starry sky!
One could faintly see the existence of star world bubbles. Over the years, the number of star world bubbles in the Boundless World had grown to a hundred, and it was still increasing!
On the lush green grassland, huge banquet tables were set up!
Spatial gates appeared, and members of various races who had already moved into the Boundless World to develop began serving food!
These were the specialty dishes of each race!
More and more people came to attend the banquet!
Representatives of various races, Star Devourers, Star Breakers, Jiang Nan's acquaintances, old classmates, old friends, Wanxiang, Youming, Wuzui—they all came!
Everyone who could come came, gathering together happily, sitting cross-legged wherever they liked!
Little Carp and Star Cheng were already waiting nearby for the feast to start, drooling profusely!
But today, even if these two ate freely, Jiang Nan could afford it!
At this moment, Jiang Nan sat in the main seat, looking at the "fine wine and delicacies" on the banquet table, his face darkening!
(̿▀̿益▀̿̿|||)̄
There were things like braised screw caps and stir-fried wrenches—Metal Clan hard dishes; grilled insect eggs and fried slugs—Insect Race delicacies; Mumu sticky pudding—Lumu Race desserts; superconducting magnet salad—Magnet Mother Race specialties...
Looking at all the abundant dishes on the banquet table, Jiang Nan's mouth twitched!
(￢﹏￢٥) "Damn... it's a wonder we can all eat together! Ridiculous!"
Just how good did your teeth have to be, what kind of iron stomach did you need to eat all this without turning into a Spray Warrior?
When you did spray, it would probably clatter and bang, right?
Thankfully, there were still normal human dishes, otherwise, even as the invincible Cosmos Realm powerhouse, Jiang Nan couldn't chew this stuff!
Youming laughed heartily:
(°ꇴ°〃) "Who cares what the food is like? As long as the alcohol is strong enough! The one we're serving this time is the Star Farming Clan's specially brewed 'Knock You Out' brand flammable oolong tea liquor!"
"It'll definitely knock you out! Today, you won't be standing when you leave the table!"
Cups of strong liquor were poured out. The liquor was brown in color, and as soon as it was poured into the cup, it burst into flames, emitting intense high heat while a rich aroma of alcohol wafted through the air!
Qing Nong looked proudly at his creation and gave Jiang Nan a thumbs up!
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧
Jiang Nan covered his face. What the heck was flammable oolong tea?!
Since the Star Farming Clan took on the main task of researching and developing system props, their products had also become... unconventional!
Yakeli laughed heartily: "Everyone! Without further ado, let's first drink a toast with Brother Nan!"
"I wish Brother Nan a long life and many sons!"
Everyone stood up, raising their glasses. The flames rising from the flammable oolong tea lit up their faces red!
"Long life and many sons, woohoo!"
Jiang Nan also raised his glass, his face even darker:
(̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "Are you all really blessing me, or cursing me? Your old man here is a dignified Cosmos Realm powerhouse, invincible under heaven, and I'll only live to be a hundred? How much of a loss is that!"
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter!
Did he really need to keep emphasizing the invincible under heaven part? We've heard it so many times our ears have calluses!
Li Bing said teasingly:
(˵ಡꇴಡ˵) "We can ignore the long life part, but the many sons part can still be achieved through hard work, right~"
Hearing this, Jiang Nan's old face turned red!
Zhong Yingxue also blushed, and even Xia Yao looked a bit shy!
Jiang Nan cleared his throat, his face red:
"Hard work! I'll work hard! Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone downed the "oolite tea" in one go. As soon as it entered their stomachs, everyone's eyes widened, then they looked up to the sky and let out a super strong burp!
Flames shot three meters out of their mouths, the scene extremely lively!
Jiang Nan was dumbfounded. What the hell kind of alcohol was this, made from what ingredients? Did it have something like the Great Vertigo spell mixed in?
So strong? Even after one cup, he felt a slight dizziness!
Without using the power of rules, it was really hard not to get drunk!
Everyone also felt the intensity of the oolong tea, looking at Jiang Nan with shining eyes. It seemed there was still a chance to knock down South God!
Freya rolled up her sleeves, full of spirit:
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)☛ "Hey~ that invincible under heaven guy! Let's fight! Fight!"
Jiang Nan's forehead was covered in sweat. If he really fought Freya, he'd definitely be knocked flat on the spot. After all, she was the terrifying woman who could drink an entire lake!
(￢ก￢٥) "Ahem... no rush, no rush. Before that, I have an important friend to introduce to everyone!"
"You might not know him, not remember him, but that's okay. Today you'll get to see him!"
"This banquet today is not just to see me, Jiang Nan, off. It's also to celebrate the achievements of my brother!"
Everyone looked puzzled. What brother did Jiang Nan have that they didn't know? Did he bring someone from another world?
Yang Jian asked curiously: "Who... who is it?"
Jiang Nan grinned. The power of rules burst forth, and the Force of Will poured in! In the Boundless World, Jiang Nan made all the decisions!
The next moment, at the edge of the banquet table, light gathered!
A figure materialized from illusion to reality. It was none other than Zhang San!
Zhang San was only wearing a pair of Causality Source underpants, lying on the banquet table trying to smell a roast chicken. After all, since reaching the Star Devourer level, Zhang San couldn't eat anything, nor could he touch anything!
Now, Jiang Nan had directly materialized him using the world's rules!
Everyone could see him!
Countless gazes focused on Zhang San, all showing looks of fear. When did a guy only wearing underpants appear on the banquet table!
Zhang San's eyes widened!
(〃≥3≤) "Pfft~"
(유△유|||) "You... you can see me?"
His gaze fell on Jiang Nan!
Jiang Nan winked at Zhang San, a teasing look on his face:
(͡°̫͡°)✧
Zhang San's face turned green!
If you were going to introduce me, you should have said something in advance! I could have manifested a handsome suit and made myself look good!
Today, I only manifested a pair of Causality Source golden underpants!
Usually, since it was too much trouble, Zhang San just didn't wear anything, since no one could see him anyway!
Today at the banquet, Zhang San came to join the fun. Being naked wasn't good, so he made a pair of underpants to wear!
Good thing he wore that one piece, otherwise, they would have gotten quite a show!
Zhang San, face red, slowly climbed down from the banquet table!
Shyly scratching his head:
୧(๑⁼̴﹏⁼̴) "H-Hello everyone? Ahaha... ahahaha..."
Jiang Nan laughed: "This... is my third brother, the ghost who doesn't exist!"
As he spoke, Jiang Nan's Force of Will burst forth, transmitting everything Zhang San had done into everyone's minds!
At this moment, everyone truly understood who the nonexistent ghost really was!
And in that invisible darkness, how much he had done alone!
In that instant, everyone's gazes toward Zhang San changed!
They became reverent and respectful!
This was the real MVP!
If it hadn't been for Zhang San, the Starry Sky situation wouldn't have lasted until dawn!
Even Wanxiang was saved by him!
At that moment, Zhang San experienced the feeling of being the center of attention!
Goosebumps rose all over his body. A huge sense of satisfaction filled his heart!
Even his eyes reddened slightly, and he gave Jiang Nan a grateful look!
Jiang Nan just smiled, looking at this scene with relief!
Heroes should not be nameless! The deeds of Third Brother should be known to all!
Perhaps everyone would forget him afterward, but at least at this moment, Zhang San was everyone's hero!
(*꒦ິ口꒦ີ) "Th-Third Brother!"
At this moment, Li Si was already crying!
Zhang San's heart also trembled:
(;´༎ຶ口༎ຶ`) "Fourth Brother, damn it, you can finally see me now!"
The two looked at each other, then rushed over and hugged, their eyes full of excitement!
And just as they were warmly embracing, relieving their longing!
Wanxiang cried out, rushing over to hug Zhang San's thigh!
˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚ "Brother! You are my third brother! Benefactor! Life-saving benefactor! My second father!"
"Drink! We must drink!"
"Third Brother! I toast you! So awesome!"
"How did you endure that kind of pressure? Let's have a drink!"
Suddenly, everyone's enthusiasm made Zhang San a bit uncomfortable!
But he was still laughing!
Satisfied! So satisfied!
"Drink! We must drink! Normally I can't even taste anything. Having this opportunity, I must drink to my heart's content!"
The atmosphere was reignited, lively beyond words!
Zhang San attracted a lot of firepower for Jiang Nan, who breathed a sigh of relief!
But he couldn't escape. He was directly pulled away by Wuzui to drink!
The atmosphere at the banquet grew more and more lively. It seemed everyone had forgotten that Jiang Nan was about to leave!
At the banquet table, Iron Bull was arm wrestling with Wu Liang. The loser had to drink. Wu Liang never won...
Star Cheng and Little Carp were completely ignoring the outside world, focused only on eating!
Xiong Er and An Xiaoqi were already drinking cross-couple wine. Mila and Xiao Jiuwo were building Gundam with crab shells!
The pioneers from the nursing home, Grandpa Wang, Grandma Liu, Grandpa Zhu, were catching up with Xiao Chuihuo!
Baldr and Odin were competing to see who could spit flames farther after drinking!
Freya had completely let loose. She was causing a ruckus, and Cooper was watching with a smile!
The Star Devourers from various races were competing in drinking, seeing who could drink more!
Zhong Yingxue was gathered with Qian Benying, saying something unknown. Qian Benying's cheeks were red, nodding constantly!
Meanwhile, Xia Yao leaned over to Mi Ye, and the two chatted casually, occasionally glancing at Jiang Nan!
Mi Ye also stole a glance at Jiang Nan, her cheeks slightly red as she nodded!
"Alright! Then let's set off together!"
At this moment, Jiang Nan, who had finally knocked out Wuzui, staggered over to Shan Cat!
He grinned and squeezed beside Shan Cat!
Shan Cat kept pushing him away:
(￢～￢) "Hey~ why are you getting so close? You reek of alcohol!"
Jiang Nan chuckled:
(˵ಡ̫ಡ) "Sister Shanmiao? I'm about to leave. Won't you come with me?"
"There are many worlds, many civilizations. It'll definitely be interesting!"
Shan Cat tilted her head, looking serious:
(︶～︶〃) "I... still have my own work to do. And my family is still on Blue Star. My parents are getting older..."
"I still need to think about it..."
Jiang Nan looked disappointed:
(◞‸◟) "Huh? You... you're not coming with me? Then I'll have to..."
Shan Cat: ! ! !
(งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "I'm going! I'm going! I'll go with you!"
Jiang Nan's face was full of mischief, looking at Shan Cat with comical eyes. Shan Cat's face reddened, then she gritted her teeth, raised her fist, and hammered it down on Jiang Nan's crown!
Pounding him right under the table!
(◦`~´◦) "You're so bad!"
The banquet continued, the atmosphere growing more and more lively!
Taro directly punched Ta Yue Luo, shaking his head in frustration:
(◔益◔ิ(￢益￢)˘﹃˘)ᕤ
"Sleep, sleep, sleep~ still damn sleeping, get up and eat!"
"Not being active about eating means your mind has problems!"
Ta Yue Luo was punched awake, looking utterly confused!
(◔一◔ิ(￢皿￢)꒪3꒪(#)ᕤ
Do you think I want to sleep?
Can't even sleep peacefully, have to stay up to eat?
Taro opened all three mouths and chowed down. He was definitely getting his money's worth!
And So Na was directly doing an impromptu BOX on the dinner table, spittle flying everywhere, spraying into the dishes. Who knew if anyone else could still eat after that?
Jiang Nan looked at the warm and joyful scene before him, a bright smile appearing on his face!
This... isn't this exactly what I've always wanted?
Happiness and joy are the only themes!
Now... everything has been achieved!
Jiang Nan smiled, thinking that if only Lan Bao'er were here too!
[(˵¯͒〰¯͒˵) Are you missing this baby?]
Jiang Nan was stunned, then burst out laughing!
He then stood up and said: "Everyone, keep drinking. I'll go to the bathroom..."
With that, he took a step and disappeared...
Blue Star, Jingdu Square, under the Origin Monument!
Jiang Nan's figure suddenly appeared. He looked up at the names on the monument, finally settling on Li Mingshan's name!
His eyes were full of remembrance!
Then he took out three bottles of iced Red Star Erguotou from his pocket and placed them at the base of the monument!
"Uncle Li... everything you once hoped for has now been realized. Gaze upon this flourishing era, this brilliant prosperity!"
"I will continue to extend the path forward and will never stop moving..."
"Before I set off, I came to see you one last time. Next time I come to see you, I'll probably bring my own child, hehe~"
As he spoke, with a single grab of his hand, a bouquet of glass flowers made entirely of rule power condensed into being, was placed under the Origin Monument!
He patted the monument, took a step, and Jiang Nan had already disappeared!
When he appeared again, he was under the giant tree of Daoyi City!
Even though Daoyi City was now full of a technological feel and changing rapidly, this giant tree still stood here, silently watching everything!
Now, the Chen family was flourishing, with talents everywhere. Their footsteps were not limited to Blue Star; they even controlled many subordinate stars in the Starry Sky!
They were already one of the extremely prosperous prominent families among the human race!
Jiang Nan smiled, placed a few dishes under the tree, and grinned!
"Without you as a combat unit, it does feel a bit lonely!"
"I'm leaving, leaving here to set off for other worlds. The Chen family matters are in good hands. I won't forget what you entrusted to me!"
"Stand here, witness the passage of time, the changes of the world, and become the guardian deity of the Chen family, protecting everything you deeply love!"
Jiang Nan's big hand directly slapped onto the tree trunk. A massive amount of Life Essence and rule power surged in, condensing a life seed within the tree!
The entire giant tree radiated vigorous life energy!
Having been personally infused with power by Jiang Nan and condensed into a life seed, this giant tree was no longer an ordinary life form but had become a divine tree!
It wasn't that Jiang Nan didn't want to save him; he just couldn't bring him back!
Everything in the past within the time loop was unchangeable!
Their passing laid the foundation for the dream reality to be established!
They had already become the cornerstone of the dream reality, supporting all the beauty of the present!
Life always has various regrets. Even the dream reality personally shaped by Jiang Nan was no exception!
But it was precisely because of the existence of various regrets that beauty seemed more hard-won and made people cherish what was before them even more!
Jiang Nan patted the tree trunk, wiped his nose: "I'll come back to see you!"
Then he looked up at the Starry Sky, his expression serious: "Take good care of him!"
The Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World will trembled!
I hear Big Brother!
Rest assured!
Jiang Nan grinned, took a step, and his figure disappeared!
A gentle breeze blew, tree branches swayed. This towering tree seemed to be bidding farewell to Jiang Nan...
......
Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World, above Star City!
Jiang Nan casually pointed, and a black hole quietly appeared!
The banquet was over. Everyone had come to see Jiang Nan off!
Many people chose to set off with Jiang Nan, such as Li Bing, Qian Benying, Mi Ye, Shan Cat, and others!
Qing Ke was also there. Xiao Chuihuo would also leave with Jiang Nan! Not to mention Zhang San and Li Si!
True pioneers never stand still; they are always on the path forward!
Of course, Black God was also there!
He had wanted to set off long ago! Over the years, he had been urging Jiang Nan!
As the Starry Sky entertainer, Black God was exceptionally enthusiastic!
Yang Jian didn't choose to go with Jiang Nan but decided to stay!
Wanxiang went with Jiang Nan. He wanted to reach the Cosmos Realm and still relied on Jiang Nan's Realm Source Energy!
Jiang Nan looked back at everyone, a smile in his eyes:
(๑◔◡◔ิ) "Wuzui! You really won't come with me?"
Wuzui smiled:
(｡͡°◡͡°) "I won't go for now. I want to watch the Star Era fully grow before I feel at ease. Do you remember my former wish?"
"But rest assured, with the Boundless World Tower, we'll reunite in the Boundless World in the future!"
Jiang Nan's gaze shifted to Yakeli: "What about you? Not coming?"
Yakeli's face was full of bright smiles: "Brother Nan, you go first. My dream is here. I'm already very satisfied!"
"I will use my own strength to maintain the continuation of the Star Era and defend the Starry Sky Monument! If one day I get tired of it, I'll go to the Boundless World to find you!"
Jiang Nan grinned: "Got it. But don't fail to break through to the Cosmos Realm and be unable to come over!"
Yakeli's face darkened: (̿▀̿益▀̿̿)̄ "Just watch me!"
Yang Jian stepped forward and patted Jiang Nan's shoulder:
"Go all out and explore! But remember to come home and visit often. This will always be your homeland, your hometown!"
Jiang Nan's nose tingled. He sniffled and nodded heavily!
At this moment, Odin and Baldr also had red-rimmed eyes!
Jiang Nan took a deep breath and smiled:
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷ꇴᵒ̴̶̷) "Don't all look so sad! It's not like I'm never coming back?"
"Parting isn't an end; it's for a better reunion!"
"I will set off from here, begin a brand new adventure. You should all bless me!"
Odin smiled: "Safe journey. Wait for me to come find you, Big Brother!"
"Safe journey!"
"Safe journey..."
Jiang Nan smiled and waved his hand, taking everyone who planned to go with him into his internal Boundless World!
He turned to look at the black hole, his eyes full of infinite hope!
ﾚ(ﾟꇴﾟ˵)ﾍ "New adventures! Countless brilliant worlds! Jiang Nan is coming!"
He took a step and disappeared into the black hole, leaving the Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World, embarking once more!
With Jiang Nan's departure, the Starry Sky fell silent!
Wuzui, Yakeli, Odin, and the others couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears streamed down!
But the next moment, the Boundless World Tower suddenly lit up with brilliant light!
Jiang Nan's figure stepped out from the Boundless World Tower!
Everyone looked dumbfounded at Jiang Nan, who had emerged from the Boundless World Tower!
(´థ△థ)´థ△థ)´థ△థ)?
Yang Jian's mouth twitched:
(´-﹏-`；) "Although I told you to come home and visit often, damn it, isn't this too fast?"
Wasn't this wasting everyone's feelings?
Jiang Nan looked embarrassed:
୧(;⌒ㅂ⌒) "Ahaha~ I was just testing if the Boundless World Tower works. I'm going now. Really going this time!"
So he trotted over to the black hole, ready to dive in!
But he suddenly turned back and snickered:
(˵ಡლಡ˵) "Aiya~ everyone is crying! Shame! So Brother Jian's third eye on his forehead can also shed tears?"
Yang Jian: ? ? ?
Before he could speak, Jiang Nan had already drilled into the black hole and disappeared!
Yang Jian covered his face, then burst out laughing!
Jiang Nan... was still Jiang Nan!
And for Jiang Nan, a new journey had just begun!
......
Time flew by, no one knew how many years passed...
In the Celestial Palace Starry Sky World, the Dayan Era was already a thing of the past, buried in the distant past...
The current era was called the Celestial Palace Era, and it had already existed for who knows how many years!
And the one ruling the Celestial Palace Era had always been the Celestial Palace Dao Sect!
The former six Dao sects and the loose cultivator alliance had achieved great integration, transforming into the seven halls of the Celestial Palace Dao Sect!
And the Celestial Palace Dao Sect was the greatest transcendent immortal sect in the entire cultivation world!
It was a place that all cultivators yearned for!
The brilliance of the Celestial Palace Era far exceeded that of the Dayan Era!
All because of the existence of one person, the strongest in the entire cultivation world!
The Red Face Fairy, whose level had reached the Genesis Realm!
She had single-handedly broken through the sky curtain blockade, creating this brilliant and magnificent Celestial Palace Era!
But over the long years, no one had ever seen the true face of the Red Face Fairy!
She lived in seclusion in the Red Face Celestial Palace, rarely appearing in public!
The Seven Saints could occasionally see her!
......
In the core of the Celestial Palace Dao Sect, within the Red Face Celestial Palace!
Nian Hongyan stood alone in the hall, a light veil covering her face. She looked up at a painting hanging in the hall!
The painting had yellowed a bit from the baptism of time!
What was depicted in the painting was the scene from the Dayan Era when the Eight Saints saw off the Eternal Demon Lord!
But... that was an extremely long time ago, so long that people had forgotten the title of Eternal Demon Lord!
Nian Hongyan looked at the person in the painting, at his handsome face and brilliant smile...
She couldn't help but reach out to touch the person in the painting...
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷̥́～ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀)۶ "Jiang Nan... Jiang Nan... when will you come back? Have you forgotten the agreement between us?"
"Or... did you not succeed in your own world..."
"I did it... I successfully broke through to the Genesis Realm, reached an agreement with the Celestial Palace Starry Sky World, almost without suffering any losses, tore apart the sky curtain shackles, and established the Celestial Palace Era..."
"Senior... when will you come back to check my homework? Hongyan misses you... really misses you..."
"I've collected many interesting trinkets for you... please... come back and see..."
Nian Hongyan murmured to herself, her eyes reddening!
She had waited for endless years, and that Immortal Boat Star hadn't returned!
She didn't know that the Immortal Boat Star had long been smashed during the final battle...
Then, her gaze became resolute!
Since Jiang Nan wouldn't come, she would go find him. Travel through every world until she found him!
Even without her, the Celestial Palace Era World could continue to exist!
She... didn't want to wait any longer!
Just then, a maidservant walked over carrying a tray!
"Lady Hongyan, I've collected more of those interesting trinkets you asked for. See if they suit your taste..."
The maidservant presented the immortal tray, on which were many novel little gadgets. She didn't know why Lady Hongyan wanted to collect these things!
At Lady Hongyan's level, how could she possibly need these?
Nian Hongyan composed herself and looked at the tray. These things should all be liked by Jiang Nan, right?
But at that moment, Nian Hongyan was startled!
(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Th-this... what is the water in this transparent bottle? Some kind of potion?"
The maidservant quickly said: "Ah~ this? This is called Power Potion. I heard that drinking it makes you all muscles, and even turns you bald—the kind of bald head that actually glows!"
"Many sect disciples have bought this. After going bald, they complain quite a bit, with quite some resentment. Some even used it during the sect grand competition!"
"They tore their clothes on the spot, their bald heads shining, scaring the female disciples across from them into screaming. That disciple even won!"
"I thought it was quite interesting, so I bought some. It's not expensive!"
Nian Hongyan was stunned, her expression strange. What kind of potion was this?
"And what about this one?"
The maidservant quickly said: "This is called Vitality Small Ginseng, also sold by the same person who sells the Power Potion!"
"Recently, a strange person in unusual clothes appeared at the sect's market square, setting up a stall to sell goods! The items aren't expensive, but their effects are exceptionally powerful!"
"Many disciples have gone to buy them. I heard... well..."
Nian Hongyan frowned: (｡･ˇกˇ･) "Unusual clothes? Setting up a stall? Selling things? Did you check his background? He... hmm? What's wrong with you?"
At this moment, the maidservant was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the man in the painting!
☚(°△°|||) "La-Lady Hongyan, I think the man in this painting looks somewhat similar to the stall owner... maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks on me? I..."
Nian Hongyan's eyes widened sharply, her face flushed red, and she became extremely agitated!
(งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "Quick! Where is he? Take me to see him! Now!"
The maidservant was stunned. She had never seen Lady Hongyan so emotional!
What had happened?
Before she could react, she was urgently dragged away by Nian Hongyan!
......
At the market square of the Celestial Palace Dao Sect!
The place was packed with people, the scene exceptionally wildly popular. Those who came later couldn't even squeeze in!
By the side of the market street, there was a stall. On the stall were all kinds of strange and bizarre products!
And on the stall cloth, Jiang Nan, wearing big shorts, a short-sleeved shirt, and slippers, sat on a small stool, holding a large megaphone, shouting with passion!
Σ(((＞(≥ꇴ≤๑) "Selling Power! Selling Power! Street stall selling Power!"
"Delicious and affordable, economical and practical! Just bring the Power, and leave the rest to the miracle!"
"One bottle of Power only costs one immortal crystal! What are you waiting for? Missing out is a crime! Come and buy now!"
At this moment, Zhong Yingxue was also beside Jiang Nan:
(〃ﾟ～ﾟ)ﾂ "Come and look at this Vitality Small Ginseng! Can revive the dead, restore flesh and bones, an excellent blood tonic!"
Xia Yao was also hawking nonstop:
٩(°ꇴ°〃) "Walk around, take a look, folks!"
"Detoxifying Small Soybean! One bean down can cure all poisons! It's the perfect choice for secret realm training! Would you like one?"
The Dao Sect disciples were dumbfounded. What background did this mysterious street stall owner in strange clothes have!
They couldn't discern his aura at all!
And... these stunningly beautiful women who followed him to set up the stall were way too beautiful!
Such beauties, capable of toppling cities and nations, were actually setting up a street stall with him? What a waste!
It was simply enviable!
And even more frightening!
There was a muscular man beside him, his head glowing, wearing only shameful strips of cloth, standing there exceptionally fierce!
Wu Liang bellowed:
ᕦ凸(͡⚆͜ʖ͡⚆)凸ᕤ "If you bought Power, don't forget to get a Hulk Brand Shorts to prevent the risk of tearing your clothes in front of your junior sisters!"
"Hulk Brand Shorts! Guaranteed to hold!"
Some Dao Sect disciples were already covering their faces. This guy had no shame!
But with the blessing of the great beauties and the personal demonstrations, all kinds of small items were useful and not expensive. Business was booming!
Various props were flying off the shelves. Xiao Mila and Xiao Jiuwo were collecting money until their hands were sore!
Meanwhile, Xiong Er and Black God were madly shopping in the market!
Black God was generous, buying anything that interested him. He was now holding the latest model flying sword, drooling, wishing he could use it right now!
At the stall, Jiang Nan directly put his arm around a Dao Sect disciple's shoulder:
(￢̫￢)´-﹏-`；) "Young man, I see you have a remarkable bone structure. Big head, thick neck—you have the face of someone who'll make big money!"
"How about becoming my sect distributor? Buy a few thousand bottles of Power at once and sell them to your fellow disciples. You can also give some to your teachers and elders as gifts, showing your filial piety!"
"I'll give you the wholesale price!"
The Dao Sect disciple swallowed his saliva, looking tempted:
(๑◔﹏◔ิ) "B-but I don't have that many immortal crystals!"
Jiang Nan raised an eyebrow: (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "That doesn't matter! In business, the most important thing is to have fun. Just give me anything you've got. If I like it, we'll trade!"
The Dao Sect disciple hesitated for a long time, then pulled out an origami crane covered in runes from his pocket!
"Th-this... will this do? I found it in an ancient ruin. I don't know how to use it, but its grade is definitely not bad!"
Jiang Nan's eyes lit up. His hand moved like lightning, snatching the origami crane!
(︶.̮︶〃)ﾉ "Deal! Deal! Here are a thousand bottles of Power. Go sell them!"
The Dao Sect disciple's eyes widened:
∑(°口°๑) "A-a thousand bottles? This broken paper crane is worth a thousand bottles of Power? Re-really? No backing out!"
Jiang Nan grinned: "Of course, no backing out. In business, integrity is the foundation! Go on now!"
The Dao Sect disciple, full of excitement, hugged the Power and trotted away!
Jiang Nan and the others all watched the disciple leave with gratified expressions!
Hmm~ another promising resentment value refreshing machine, right?
Hopefully, he wouldn't get beaten too badly!
In his mind, the system subtitle suddenly appeared!
[Jiang Nan Gege, keep going! Just a tiny bit more~]
Jiang Nan smiled enchantingly:
↜(⃔っ՞ꇴ՞C)⃕ "Don't worry! Leave it to me!"
At this moment, the ultimate resentment value progress bar was nine-tenths full. Lan Bao'er's emotions had also mostly recovered!
It seemed that after running through a few more worlds, it would be full!
And now, Jiang Nan was studying the origami crane!
Xia Yao looked at the crane with great interest:
(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Let me see~"
Jiang Nan held the crane high:
(˵¯͒〰¯͒˵) "Hehe, no, no, no! Can't catch it!"
Xia Yao pouted: (◦`~´◦) "Hey~ just let me see it!"
Jiang Nan grinned mischievously:
(˵ಡꇴಡ˵) "Then I'll ask you a question. If you answer correctly, I'll give you the crane!"
"If you can't answer, hehehe~"
Xia Yao put her hands on her hips: (︶～︶✽) "Ask away! What doesn't this Big Lang Mie know?"
Jiang Nan cleared his throat:
(๑˘ก˘) "Ahem~ In our class, there was a guy called Glasses Brother, the one dating Du Yue. Remember him?"
"Question: What was Glasses Brother's name?"
Xia Yao scoffed: "That's it? Glasses Brother? I remember him! His name is... is... is..."
Xia Yao: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) Huh?
What was his name?
Jiang Nan smiled smugly:
(︶ꇴ︶〃) "Hehe~ Can't answer, can you?"
Because even I don't know what Glasses Brother's real name is!
Since I met him, I've always called him by his nickname!
Glasses Brother's name might be an unsolved mystery!
Just then, the exceptionally lively market square suddenly fell silent, followed by bursts of exclamations!
Everyone stared blankly at the red-dressed woman who had suddenly appeared in the market square, a light veil covering her face. She stood there, looking at Jiang Nan with tears in her eyes!
This... was this the Red Face Fairy?
Nian Hongyan's voice trembled:
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷̥́◠ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀) "It's really you... Senior..."
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nian Hongyan with a bright smile:
(๑⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)۶ "Yo~ Hongyan? Long time no see..."
(The End)
## Author's Afterword
The Power has ended. From the start of the book on June 15, 2020, to April 8, 2023—almost three years, over 8.8 million words. It really feels like a dream!
Although this is an ending note, it doesn't need to be too formal. Qingfeng will just chat casually here, talk about what's on my mind...
Actually, when I first started the book, I didn't think much about it. I just wanted to write a story that could make everyone happy. Life is already tiring enough. Reading novels is for relaxation. It should be joyful!
But making people laugh is really quite difficult. Yet when I was writing, I was also enjoying it!
Sometimes while writing, I would laugh along with the story, tears in my eyes from laughing~
Ahhh~ almost three years. Walking this path with everyone has been really enjoyable!
The Power was not completed by Qingfeng alone but was completed together with countless readers!
Your comments, book reviews, paragraph reviews—they were all the driving force for Qingfeng to move forward. The imaginative ideas and plot speculations also provided countless inspirations!
Everyone is really amazing. Without the support of my friends, Qingfeng couldn't have made it this far!
Your "hahahahahaha" is my favorite comment to see, hehe~
Along this journey, both the Power and even myself have faced a lot of doubt. Early, middle, and late stages, even now, doubts have always lingered...
Actually, I have a glass heart. I don't have some invulnerable strong heart. I do care, I do get sad. I think I haven't written well enough, haven't brought everyone the joy and pleasant experience they deserve!
But in reality, no one can write a work that everyone likes. Different strokes for different folks. In a thousand people's hearts, there are a thousand Hamlets!
Fortunately, with the support, care, and concern of my friends, Qingfeng managed to get through!
Really, really, it's been amazing!
I'm not a genius writer. I don't have much talent. I always feel I haven't done well enough, afraid I can't meet readers' expectations!
So all Qingfeng can do is give my all, 120% effort if I have 100%, to write and strive to do better!
Fortunately, the end result was good!
In my heart, this is the ending I wanted. There might be regrets, but regrets are also part of life, worth remembering!
I really enjoy the process of writing. I feel like I enter the world of the book, and the characters under my pen come alive!
I'm very reluctant to part with them, reluctant to part with every character, because I feel they truly live in my writing!
That's why I rarely kill characters...
Now, the story has ended. It's time to say goodbye. But it hasn't completely ended!
Jiang Nan is still setting off, taking everyone on a brand new adventure, embarking on a new journey. The story continues, just not written by me...
From an initial street stall youth to the Era Lord who suppressed the Starry Sky, and finally back to selling Power at a street stall. I guess this counts as echo and pointing out the theme, right?
Hahahahaha!
In the Power, Jiang Nan has been growing. He uses his own experiences to teach us some truths!
He is Jiang Nan, but at the same time... he is also myself!
And in our own lives, we are the protagonists of our own lives!
So... my friends, treat yourself well~
Always remember, in life~ happiness is the most important thing~
Over two years, Qingfeng has also experienced a lot. I got a cat named Glutinous Rice, a dog named Egg...
Celebrated birthdays, attended trainings, experienced the passing of loved ones, was hospitalized, took leave, missed updates...
I'm really grateful to my friends for never leaving me, silently supporting me and helping me reach today!
You're there when I'm happy, and you're there when I'm sad...
Companionship has always been the longest confession of love~
(ʃƪ˘ꇴ˘) Aiya~ Qingfeng is getting mushy too, hahaha!
But in these nearly three years, I've gained thirty pounds, and my health isn't as good as before!
After the Power ends, Qingfeng will rest for a few months, lose weight, exercise, get my body in shape, travel around the country, do some things I wanted to do but never had time for!
At the same time, I'll read more books, learn more. I need to input. These years writing the Power, I've been outputting at high intensity, but inputting little!
If this continues, I'll eventually be drained. So I need to learn, to settle, so I can produce better works and write better stories!
It won't be long before I start a new book. My friends, don't worry, hahahaha. After all, Qingfeng can't stand being idle!
But this time, I'm really exhausted. I need to rest for at least a few months. After all, health is the foundation, right?
As for the story of the new book? It will probably continue the previous style. Happiness is the most important thing. But I will bring new things, new stories, and step onto a new level!
I've had the idea for the new book for over a year now. I've just been polishing it, not implementing it, not having time to refine and work on it!
Now that the Power is finished, I'll polish it well, striving to write a story that more people like and enjoy!
My friends, look forward to it!
When I start the new book, I'll let everyone know. I'll announce it in the Power as well!
So even though the Power is finished, don't remove it from your bookshelf. Keep it there~ hehehe!
Oh, right, and remember to follow Qingfeng's author page so you can receive news of the new book in time!
This book, the Power, has some places where I feel the writing wasn't smooth. There are many shortcomings, mistakes, and less enjoyable parts!
Qingfeng also has his limits. I can't handle every detail perfectly!
But I am growing. Compared to when I first started, I've grown a lot!
I believe the story of the new book will be even more complete!
But there were also good parts, like the Moon Offensive and Defensive Battle, the Star Ruins War, the Sequence War, and the Time Loop. I think I wrote those quite well!
Hahahaha, let me praise myself!
Overall, in my heart, writing the Power to this day has left no regrets. Really, it's been good~
Actually, initially, I didn't plan to write the Power this long. I originally wanted to end it after the Star Ruins War. But I dug too many holes. Ending there would have been a real unfinished ending!
So I wrote the Starry Sky part. I actually had ideas for the Starry Sky part for a long time. But the worldview was too big, and I was afraid I couldn't control it, so I didn't want to write it at first!
But later, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and write it. And relatively well, I think the Starry Sky part was quite wonderful. I didn't mess it up. I think it was still quite interesting!
Hahahaha, I praised myself again. I'm really narcissistic!
Unconsciously, I've said so much, over two thousand words. I'm still a bit reluctant. Sigh~
I feel like crying a little. My nose is tingling!
Sniffle~
Alright, alright~ I'll stop here!
Just like Jiang Nan said, parting is for a better reunion. So don't be sad. Let's meet again in the new book!
Ehe~
Oh, right, one more thing, one more thing!
I currently have no plans to write side stories. I don't really want to write side stories. If I have ideas later, I'll post them on Douyin, in video format!
At the same time, during my break, I'll also update some Power fan art, daily life, and news about the new book on Douyin!
If you have any good ideas or suggestions for my new book, you can also comment on Douyin. Remember to follow my Douyin account~
Douyin ID: QFSM8888, username is "Tomato Novel author Yi Qingfeng". Search for the username to find it. Remember to follow, please~
As for various adaptations of the Power, you can also look forward to them. I'll notify everyone then. Good things take time!
Alright, alright. This time, really alright!
Finally, Qingfeng once again thanks my friends for three years of companionship. Thank you! Really, thank you!
90° bow of gratitude!
Then, let's meet again in the new book, reunite once more!
Qingfeng will not leave!
Finished, throw flowers!
Flowers~ *ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭*ੈ✩‧₊˚
