Background & History

During Humanity's first spiritual-energy awakening era, Jiang Fan fought at Hengduan Tianya alongside Yue Lan and Long Chen. Soldiers facing death entrusted their abilities to him, becoming Prosperous Stars within his personal starry sky. Yue Lan and Long Chen were among those lost in the battle; their abilities became his Time Star and Space Star respectively. 3045 3047

He survived the battle, buried the fallen, and continued alone as a hidden corpse collector on Blue Star, gathering the stars of the dead while avoiding Holy Star's attention. His strength grew alongside the losses he carried. 3048 After returning with more than ten thousand Prosperous Stars, he routed the Bose forces on Blue Star, absorbed their abilities and the Star Gathering Bead, and became a feared taboo throughout the Starry Sky. 3048 3049

Unable to simultaneously pursue peak strength and safeguard Blue Star, Jiang Fan orchestrated the first Thousand Star Great Tribulation as a compromise to restrain the Myriad Races. This led to the Ten Thousand Races Agreement: any race that violated it risked Jiang Fan appearing in its home Star Domain. He also concealed the Origin Fire Seed within the Moon as a safeguard for Humanity before leaving Blue Star. 2795 3049

At some point, Jiang Fan became trapped in the Absolute End Black Hole. He developed the God-Locking Technique to survive, but the ordeal damaged his memories and separated his will-avatar from his restrained true body. 2795 2859

Jiang Fan returned more than three thousand years later through Atiya's body. He destroyed the Angel Race, attacked the Bose Starfield in revenge, and fought Qian Li while the Myriad Races panicked at his reappearance. 2773 2776 2778 He subsequently met Jiangnan, accepted the name “Brother Fan,” and returned to Blue Star, where its unfamiliar prosperity emphasized how completely his own era had vanished. 2783 2793 2794

Personality

Jiang Fan is intensely self-reliant, direct, and confident. He spent much of his life fighting alone, believing that every battle was nourishment for his growth and refusing to stop even when the entire Starry Sky hunted him. 2795 3049

The loss of everyone from his era left him emotionally isolated. After emerging from the Absolute End Black Hole, he initially acted with an almost detached calmness; Jiangnan's companionship became one of the few connections pulling him back toward the present. 2794 2840

His determination can become ruthlessness. To free his true body, he was willing to trigger an Absolute End Black Hole jet despite its potential to destroy the Starry Sky world. 2866 However, reliving his past and confronting Jiangnan's refusal to abandon him ultimately forced Jiang Fan to acknowledge his grief, guilt, and remaining attachment to the people represented by his vanished stars. 3050 3052

• Jiang Fan can further cultivate a star, developing its domains and adding skills when its original owner lacked them. 2794

Major Arcs

Return from the Absolute End Black Hole

After losing his stars and falling into despair, Jiang Fan attempts suicide. Jiangnan preserves his collapsing Prosperous Star World and forces him to recognize that his departed companions still exist through his memories and past. 3052 Jiangnan forgives him personally but banishes him through a Black Hole rather than allowing him to remain among the Myriad Races. 3053
