All Thanks to My Own Efforts

After locking onto the Cyberus star system, Jiang Han felt no fear whatsoever; instead, he felt an unprecedented and absolute confidence.

This is a mysterious intuition that arises after entering the realm of the divine.

As if reading a pre-written script, he was certain that his future was already predetermined, and no matter how tortuous the road ahead, he would eventually reach the end called "eternity".

All the scenery along the way is merely embellishment.

Since the outcome is already decided, we should enjoy the process as much as possible.

A slight smile appeared on Jiang Han's lips.

Before heading to that "tech graveyard," he decided to sort through the spoils he had plundered from the Land of Fallen Gods.

With a thought, he returned to the Divine Realm Mirror World.

The spirits and fairytale creatures who were having a party immediately fell silent upon seeing him return, standing ramrod straight and not daring to utter a sound.

Jiang Han ignored them and, as if cleaning up clutter, poured out a large pile of divine objects that would trigger a war of annihilation in the outside world from his mustard seed space.

"This is a Divine Essence Crystal, right? The energy is quite pure, but there's too much of it, it takes up too much space."

Jiang Han weighed a crystal the size of a human head, radiating seven-colored light, and casually tossed it into the nearby Sea of ​​Return to Nothingness.

With a "plop," the crystal sank into the black seawater and disappeared.

"Just think of it as a perpetual refrigerator, used to store energy and avoid waste."

He then picked up a piece of metal that was as black as ink and incredibly heavy.

"Primordial Black Iron? It seems to be a material used to forge divine weapons."

He glanced at the Qin Dynasty craftsman named Gongshu Ban, who had been awakened from the Eclipse Cauldron, and who was staring at him blankly.

"Hey, you old man."

Jiang Han called out.

Gongshu Ban jumped in surprise and rushed over, bowing respectfully: "Your Majesty, your guilty subject is here."

"Here, take this and play with it as a toy."

Jiang Han casually tossed the piece of Primordial Black Iron over.

Gongshu Ban hurriedly caught it, and when he saw what it was, he began to tremble and became so excited that he couldn't speak coherently.

"This...this is...the legendary Primordial Black Iron! And such a huge piece! Your Majesty! Such a divine object, this sinful subject...this sinful subject..."

"Alright, stop arguing."

Jiang Han waved his hand impatiently, his gaze then falling on the other spoils of war.

The Great Qin Demon-Suppressing Ring, which he had snatched from some unlucky fellow in the Big Dipper Star Region, was transformed into a bracelet-sized ring with a casual flick of his wrist and slipped onto his wrist.

"That's right, it's both a decoration and, in a pinch, a brick to throw at someone."

He repaired the dilapidated Qin Dynasty dragon bone ship and then threw it into a newly opened ocean in the north of the Divine Realm, where it drifted with the current.

He personally planted the ancient tree of immortal medicine, which had been uprooted from the land of the fallen gods, on the central island of the divine realm.

The moment the ancient tree touched the ground, a surge of vital energy burst forth, causing a surge in the spiritual energy concentration of the entire divine realm.

A group of fairies dressed in pink palace dresses flew out of the palace, led by the peach spirit Tao Yao.

Upon seeing the ancient tree of immortal medicine, they immediately cheered and jumped for joy, singing and dancing around Jiang Han, instantly turning the atmosphere into a joyful one.

"Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal, for bestowing upon us this divine tree!"

Jiang Han was getting a headache from their noise, so he waved them off to play by themselves.

Finally, he took out the tattered copy of "The Record of Ascension to Immortality".

He picked up the broken vermilion judge's pen, and with a flourish, wrote the names of Frost Prison White Tiger Yueyao and Mortal Python Kraken on it.

As for whether they live or die, whether they become immortals or demons, it all depends on their own destiny.

"I'm only responsible for providing opportunities; whether you seize them or not is up to you."

This is a domineering and irresponsible "gift," full of Jiang Han's unique perverse sense of humor.

Far away on the other side of the divine realm, Yueyao, who was bragging to a few dwarves, and Kraken, who was sleeping in the deep sea, simultaneously felt a strange connection and shackles deep in their souls, and their emotions were complicated.

After doing all this, Jiang Han felt a little bored.

He took a step forward and appeared on the canopy of the Jianmu Divine Remains, where he sat cross-legged and began his cultivation.

A realm between heaven and man, where the spirit roams the vast void.

He only entered a brief meditative state to sense the flow of the laws of the universe.

When he opened his eyes, a month had passed in the outside world.

"Time knows no bounds in spiritual practice."

Jiang Han stretched and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"I almost forgot, my main job is 'adventure streamer,' not a cultivation otaku."

He climbed down from the treetop and connected to the ghost network.

As expected, the internet is filled with cries of despair.

[If Jiang Shen doesn't come out soon, I'm going to die! I'm really going to die without watching Jiang Shen's live stream!]

[I hereby declare that, from this day forward, Jiang Han is the God of Pigeons!]

[Are you out of your mind? Watch out, Jiang Shen might climb over the internet cable and beat you up!]

Jiang Han found these ridiculous comments somewhat amusing.

He glanced at it and casually posted a message.

"The location for this exploration has been chosen; we're about to witness different civilizations within the starry sea!"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The moment the post was published, the Ghost Network's traffic was overloaded, and countless civilizations' servers instantly burned out.

The wailing crowd instantly turned into ecstatic joy.

Then came the furious吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online criticism or rant) about the word "immediately".

How long is your "immediately"? Is it a month?

Don't believe him! Last time he said he'd be right away, but he stood us up for a whole day!

Jiang Han glanced at it a few times, then ignored it.

Amidst the online frenzy and criticism, he ignored everyone's attempts to persuade him to stay and their persistent questions.

He held the small Qin Dynasty dragon bone boat in his hand, took a step out of the Divine Realm Mirror World, and his figure disappeared into the star gate.

……

After making audiences across the universe wait for a full twenty-seven hours, Jiang Han's figure finally appeared in the depths of a cold, desolate, dark universe.

This is the vicinity of the target star system he arrived at via the ancient stargate jump route.

He leisurely released the Great Qin Dragonbone Ship. The white Candle Dragon cub, as if alive, skillfully coiled around the bow of the ship, curiously surveying this unfamiliar void.

At the same time, Jiang Han started a live stream.

The next second, the live stream was instantly overwhelmed by a barrage of long-simmering, ridiculous comments.

Do you know how I survived those 97200 seconds?! You don't know, you only know about admiring the starry sky alone! You completely ignore how I survived!
