Chapter 536 Lord of the World
Chapter 536 Lord of the World
Xu Si's brows furrowed even more.
He opened his palm again, and the star power surged from the depths of his heart once more, gathering, condensing, and collapsing in his palm. But this time, he did not rush to make it take shape.
He simply let the stellar energy float in his palm, like a nascent nebula, like the beginning of a planet.
Meanwhile, the World Tree's fluorescent green light flowed down from its branches and leaves, landing on the ball of star power in his palm, like a very thin layer of mist, slowly seeping in and permeating it.
Xu Si's breath hitched slightly for a moment.
He "saw" that after the fluorescent green light merged with the star power, the 'nebula' in his palm seemed to have changed. It seemed to have undergone a slight natural evolution, completely independent of Xu Si's natural evolution.
Xu Si's starry pupils suddenly contracted.
What is the World Tree doing?
Or is she responding to him one by one?
He tried to inject more star power into his palm, while actively guiding the fluorescent green light to participate in the construction of the star embryo.
This time, the point of light was no longer just spinning.
It began to try to "breathe," contracting, expanding, contracting again, and expanding again at an extremely slow, almost imperceptible rhythm, like an embryo learning how to move rhythmically in the womb.
Xu Si's breathing also slowed down in sync with that rhythm.
The evolution of the light spots in the palm mirrors his own nature.
He seemed to be able to vaguely sense that the essence of his sequence was being deciphered little by little.
Although there is no progress yet, this path should be the right one.
He looked up at the top of the World Tree.
The tree canopy, like emerald, spread quietly in the night, without any sign of anything amiss, without any response.
But the corners of Xu Si's mouth still curved up slightly.
Thanks.
Unexpectedly, in the end, I was able to answer all his questions one by one.
The light spot in his palm jumped twice more, then gradually calmed down. Xu Si then cut off the supply of star power, letting it evolve on its own instincts.
Under the gaze of Star Eyes, Xu Si seemed to be watching the birth of a planet, but the duration was not long, it could even be said to be very short, only a few breaths, and the point of light disappeared on its own.
However, Xu Si was not discouraged, because he discovered something even more interesting.
He might actually be able to create a planet, or perhaps it is a planet in itself.
From point to line, from line to surface, it seems he can do more than that.
Is this what they call control?
Xu Si felt that he had been using the sequence haphazardly all along.
The true value of sequences seems to lie in these infinite possibilities.
Xu Si opened his palm again.
This time, he didn't rush to condense star power, but instead first sensed the origin and rhythm of that star power.
It felt strange; he had a strange feeling that it was him, but he knew it wasn't.
Xu Si saw himself in those tiny specks of starlight.
As the light spot grew larger and Xu Si's involvement decreased, the light spot began to change and balance in a strange way.
Isn't this the essence of his sequence?
Xu Si felt as if he had vaguely touched upon something.
He dispersed the starlight in his hand and activated his star power again, but this time, he did not try to create a star embryo out of thin air.
Instead, they thought of it differently: if those starlight were his blood, then every breath he took was a breath of the stars.
He began to adjust his breathing rhythm, trying to build a star with himself as the center.
He knew he was being a bit too hasty, but the urgency to discover new things made it impossible for him to resist.
Moreover, given his current physical strength, even if he were to be shattered into pieces, his life would not be in danger.
That's why he dared to try it so roughly.
But the process was far more difficult than he had imagined.
Extremely slow, extremely deep, extremely long, the concepts of time and space gradually disappeared from his body, and he felt as if he were a black hole.
A sleeping star slowly expands and contracts within it.
At the same time, his stellar power did not circulate outwards, but flowed within his body, along the stellar veins, flesh, bones, every meridian and every inch of skin, coming and going like the tides.
Sensing something, Chun couldn't sit still any longer and came straight out of the dark building.
Then, she saw Xu Si's figure dissipating, or rather, countless starlight began to dissipate from the surface of his skin.
First, the back, where the light shines brightest on both sides of the spine, like two miniature galaxies extending from the shoulder blades all the way to the coccyx.
Then, on the chest, the starlight arranged in fine arcs along the ribs, like a skeleton made of stars carved into the skin.
Finally, there is the head, where stellar energy gathers, condenses, and flows in front of the forehead, like an eye slowly opening.
Then Xu Si opened his eyes.
The world changed completely at that moment.
He saw those firefly-like starlight rising from every corner of the city, turning into dark red particles by the blood moon, slowly and silently converging towards him.
He saw that every leaf at the top of the World Tree was emitting a fine glow. Within that glow was the star power he had just absorbed, which was flowing back along the veins of the leaves, descending along the trunk, and then being transported back to the depths of the earth by the roots.
He saw the blood moonlight in the sky undergoing strange refraction and scattering as it passed through the atmosphere—every texture, every frequency, and every deflection after colliding with dust particles was like an opened river, unfolding before his eyes.
At this moment, he seemed to have broken free from the limitations of Earth, and he no longer possessed the perspective of the Star Mirror.
It's more like an alien star that has arrived on Earth, and is not subject to Earth's control.
He slowly raised his right hand, looked down at his chest, and gently traced a line on his chest with his index finger.
Where his fingertips traced, no flesh exploded; his body was as if the surface of water had been sliced open, leaving an extremely thin scratch that emitted a scarlet glow.
The scratch did not disappear; instead, it appeared on his chest, and there was only emptiness inside the scratch.
Xu Si knew that the space inside was waiting to be filled, and it was different from the spaces of the [Black Building] and the [Space Cloak].
Inside are newly born stars, a newly born little world.
It's just not complete yet, and it's not stable.
Xu Si smiled; he knew he had taken a crucial step.
Although this is far from the star-making technique he is pursuing, he has already vaguely sensed the outline of that path.
He is not the Star Emperor, he is the Lord of the World, and this is not an exaggeration.
"Perhaps I'll become world consciousness before you do?"
He seemed to be speaking to the World Tree, but also to himself.
In the darkness, the fluorescent green light seemed to intensify.
Just then, he seemed to sense something and looked towards the far south.
A surge of spiritual energy rushed in, like a giant whale rising from the deep sea—massive, composed, and unhurried, yet carrying an undeniable pressure.
Xu Si's starry eyes narrowed slightly; he could actually sense someone coming.
Or perhaps fate told him that someone was coming toward him.
Could this be some kind of preordained connection?
If the system were still operational, it might have alerted him that he had stolen the authority of the gods.
He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and with a flick of his finger, Nirvana, which was still eating, returned to his feet.
"You're quite the glutton."
Half a city actually propelled [Nirvana]'s ranking from 67th to 43rd.
He couldn't imagine whether Rank 001 would still be worthy of this guy if he devoured all the remaining ruins of the apocalypse.
However, his characteristics haven't changed much; they should have been strengthened accordingly!
"Not bad, we've both gotten an upgrade!"
