Chapter 407 Sequence 6 - Star Lord
The light emanating from Yi Yi grew stronger and stronger, gradually changing from a bright green to a deep emerald green, and then from emerald green to a color that was almost transparent, existing between existence and non-existence.
Her body began to change.
It's not just growing up, it's also growing up.
However, I'm more inclined to believe in some kind of fundamental change.
The transparent wings began to solidify, with fine golden patterns appearing along their edges.
Her hair gradually changed from light gold to silver-white, swaying gently in the night breeze, each strand gleaming with a faint, cold light.
A small, vertical mark was slowly emerging between her eyebrows—like a leaf, or a drop of water, or some kind of symbol that Xu Si had never seen before.
And her true form is almost as big as Yao Yao.
[Awakening Progress: 89%...94%...98%...]
Xu Si grew increasingly nervous as he waited.
He could sense that Yi Yi's life energy was still growing at an incredible rate.
Promotion Completed
[Current Symbiote: Life Spirit King (Awakening)]
【New Features: Hymn of Life, Life Affinity, Royal Intimidation】
[Description: The royal bloodline has awakened, but its true power still needs time to develop. She is a darling of life, yet also a heretic in this apocalyptic world.]
Yi Yi slowly opened her eyes.
Those eyes have changed.
No longer the innocent, sparkling eyes of before, but deeper, calmer, like a bottomless lake.
Deep within the pupils, fine golden lines flowed slowly, echoing the mark between the eyebrows.
She looked at Xu Si.
Xu Si looked at her.
silence.
Then, they all smiled.
The smile was the same as before, with crescent-shaped eyes and small dimples, carrying a sweetness that softened people's hearts.
But Xu Si could sense that something was different; the smile was mostly filled with bitterness and grievance.
"Xu Si, all my people are gone."
She spoke, her voice still the same, soft and sweet, with a touch of childishness, but as she pouted, tears streamed down her face.
It seems that while this girl was promoted, she also inherited more memories.
"It's alright, it's alright!" Xu Si bent down and hugged Yi Yi, who was now the size of a child, to comfort her.
Yi Yi leaned on Xu Si's shoulder and cried for a long time.
Tears streamed down her face, dripping onto Xu Si's collar, each drop carrying a faint, shimmering green light.
The light fell on the fabric, but instead of soaking it, it rolled like dewdrops before silently dissipating into the air.
Xu Si did not move.
He simply stood quietly, supporting Yi Yi's small body with one hand and gently patting her back with the other.
She cried until she was exhausted, then shyly hid deep within Xu Si's heart.
At the same time, Xu Si actually felt an unprecedented surge of life energy.
At this moment, Yi-Yi is like a moving, inexhaustible source of life.
[Sequence Process: Level 5, 61.2%]
In the blink of an eye, it became 61.7%.
62.1%.
63.4%.
64.0%.
……
It's still rising.
Slow, continuous, and unstoppable like a tide.
The life energy overflowing from Yi-yi is continuously flowing into his body through the symbiotic connection.
It's not about strengthening the body or healing injuries, but about advancing the sequence process from its very source.
Xu Si took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged again, and began to carefully digest this life energy.
The system panel flickered in my mind, and the numbers were jumping faster and faster.
64.0%.
66.7%.
69.2%.
72.1%.
……
The numbers on the system panel jumped, each change accompanied by a subtle tremor in the stellar veins within the body.
Those invisible networks are expanding, extending, and reconstructing, like a tree taking root in the darkness, like a river changing its course in the wasteland.
And some kind of constraint is loosening.
The transition from sequence 5 to sequence 6 is not an accumulation of quantity, but a qualitative leap.
Upon advancing to Sequence 5, he gained "Starfall"—the power to summon meteors from outer space.
That was an outward, destructive violence that unleashed the power of the stars onto humanity.
As for Sequence 6, he vaguely sensed that it would be inward.
The stellar veins spread silently within the body, penetrating muscles, bones, and fascia, piercing through every inch of the body repeatedly strengthened by the drug, extending deeper and deeper.
A new star was born there.
It's not a star in the sky, but a star within his body.
Xu Si had always known that his sequence energy came from the starry sky, from the blood sun, and from some external force that he had not yet understood.
But at this moment, driven by that life energy, he clearly perceived it for the first time.
Once those powers enter the body, they are not simply stored or consumed, but rather condensed at a certain point, waiting to erupt.
"Star Core"
The word surfaced from the depths of his consciousness, not as a system prompt, but as a kind of almost instinctive cognition.
Is the essence of Sequence 6 the condensation of a stellar core within the body?
Instead of drawing strength from the outside, we should become the source of our own strength.
Xu Si took a deep breath and focused all his attention on the star core that was condensing.
-
The wind on the wasteland has stopped.
As the blood-red sun rose and set, Xu Si seemed to hear Nirvana's announcement, but he had no time to pay attention to anything else.
At the top of that solitary hill, Xu Si sat cross-legged, motionless.
Yi Yi has returned to the depths of his heart and fallen into slumber; the awakening of her royal bloodline has consumed too much of her energy.
She needs time to adjust to her new body and memories.
Xu Si is undergoing the longest transformation since he was promoted.
The numbers on the system panel have stopped changing.
89.3%.
It's not a standstill, but rather the beginning of a slower, more fundamental process.
The life energy flowing into each one no longer directly pushes up the numbers in the sequence process.
Instead, it is absorbed, compressed, and purified by the star core, becoming fuel for the star core's condensation.
Xu Si's consciousness sank into a void.
There was no light, no sound, and no direction.
Unlike the void I experienced when I took the [Divine Elixir], there were no stars, no galaxies, nothing at all.
There is only one star core.
It floated in the center of the void, as quiet as an unlit star.
Xu Si "looked" at it, feeling its pulse—slow, heavy, like the heartbeat of an ancient behemoth.
With each pulse, a wisp of energy overflows from the star core, spreading along the star veins throughout the body, then flows back, overflows again, and flows back again.
This is a cycle that repeats itself again and again.
A self-perfecting, self-reinforcing cycle.
Xu Si suddenly understood.
He is undergoing a fundamental transformation.
-
Time loses its meaning in the void.
Xu Si didn't know how long he had been in the darkness.
It might be a day, it might be a year, it might just be a moment.
All he remembered was that the pulsation of the star core grew stronger and faster, from the initial slow and heavy to the later rapid and powerful, like a burning heart pushing light and heat into every corner of the void.
Then--
The star core suddenly took shape and began to rotate in the void.
At the same time, faint, tentative fluorescent light burst forth from the star's core, instantly filling the entire void.
Xu Si's consciousness was engulfed by the light.
He sensed it.
A transformation of pure essence.
Those rays of light pierced his consciousness, his body, and every inch of him, awakening something deeper and more essential.
Xu Si opened his eyes.
The blood-red sun hung in the midday sky, and the wind on the wasteland began to flow again.
He looked down at his hands.
It's still the same hands, unchanged.
But he could sense that something was different.
The system panel appeared in my mind, and the numbers had stopped jumping.
[Current Sequence: Star Lord (Destiny Side)]
[Sequence Process: Level 6, 0.17%]
Xu Si was shocked. He thought it would take some time before he reached Sequence 6, but he didn't expect to achieve it today.
He's also living off Yi Yi's money.
