Chapter 475 Awakening of Divinity
Wan Chun didn't urge him, but waited with great interest.
She stood barefoot on the edge of the Nirvana roof, a rare, almost expectant expression on her exquisite, near-perfect face.
Yi Yi seemed to realize that something was wrong, and without restraint from keeping Chun present, she came directly from the depths of Xu Si's heart.
She looked at Xu Si with concern.
She sensed something too.
The feeling was hard to describe; it was as if something was awakening inside Xu Si's body, something she had never seen before.
"I knew my choice was right!" Wanliuchun said softly.
Yi Yi turned her head to look at her, her eyes filled with doubt.
"I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly!" Wan Liuchun clearly knew more.
She turned to look at him, but did not ask any questions.
She wasn't as curious as Xu Si; aside from Xu Si's safety, she didn't care about anything else.
"You little elf got a good deal!" Wanliuchun looked at Yiyi with a hint of envy.
Then her gaze turned to Xu Si. If it was really as she expected, then she would definitely benefit greatly.
-
Xu Si's consciousness was still sinking.
He didn't know how long he had been sinking, or where he had sunk to.
All around was boundless darkness, with no up or down, no left or right, no sound, no temperature, and nothing to refer to—it was even more terrifying than the nothingness inside the dark building.
The only thing that can be compared to it is the [Transformation Elixir] he had taken before.
But strangely, he wasn't afraid.
If it were him in the past, he would have felt a slight unease in such an absolutely empty environment.
This is something that anyone would feel when facing an unknown environment.
Because the unknown is the most primal source of human fear.
But now, that fear has completely disappeared.
It wasn't because he became stronger, but because he began to realize that this darkness might be the very essence of his own spirit.
It seems he is this darkness.
This darkness is also him.
This realization gave him a strange sense of peace, like a drop of water finally realizing that it belongs to the ocean, or a grain of sand finally understanding that it comes from the desert.
Xu Si "opened" his eyes in the darkness.
Of course, he can't open his eyes now; it's just a sense, a kind of awareness of waking up from a deep sleep.
Then, he saw countless stars.
He saw light emanating from his own body.
Scarlet, warm, like beating hearts.
He looked down at the light, trying to feel it carefully.
But he had no eyes at this moment, and those lights were not objects that could be captured by sight, but rather the essence that could only be touched by consciousness.
That is his sequence.
No, that's him.
He stretched out a "hand" to touch the stars and the light.
The light exploded the moment the fingertips touched it.
It's like blooming, like a flower completing the entire process from bud to full bloom to withering in a very short time.
But in this process, Xu Si saw countless torrents of information, which, like galaxies, completely illuminated the entire dark space.
Those torrents were not chaotic disorder, but rather living, structured, like trajectories of destiny.
Xu Si's consciousness was drawn into it; he felt himself being dismantled and then reassembled.
He witnessed the birth and destruction of a star.
In the endless void, dust and gas slowly gather under the influence of gravity, over millions, tens of millions, and hundreds of millions of years.
Time loses its meaning in this torrent.
Those substances heat up under pressure, ignite as they heat up, and burst forth with their first rays of light as they ignite.
That was Hengxing's first cry.
From icy cold to fiery heat, from nothingness to existence, from darkness to light.
This is not a gradual change, but an irreversible qualitative leap.
Just like the moment he awakened from an ordinary person to a sequence extraordinary.
Just like the moment he moved from sequence 6 to sequence 7.
Just like now, at this moment, from "human beings" to "some higher being".
Then, he saw the death of the stars.
Expansion, collapse, explosion.
Those stars that once illuminated the entire galaxy, at the end of their lives, tore themselves into countless fragments, scattering the heavy elements they had accumulated over billions of years to every corner of the universe.
Those fragments will become new dust, new gas, new stars, new planets, and new—life.
"Am I trapped in my own illusion?" Xu Si didn't know how to explain it all.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.
"So that's how it is," he murmured deep within his consciousness.
"So the sequence has no end!" Could what he just saw be what he experiences every moment?
And the disappearance of everything may just be the beginning of another kind of existence.
Xu Si's consciousness remained suspended in the darkness for an unknown period of time.
The images of stars being born and dying still linger in my mind, like a documentary that has been put on repeat.
He saw the embers of the supernova explosion drifting in the void, saw the drifting dust regrouping under the influence of gravity, and saw a new star opening its eyes amidst the ruins.
Life and death, destruction and creation, are never opposing ends in this boundless sea of stars, but rather two sides of the same coin.
It seems as if this scene is constantly playing out in the starry sky above us.
Xu Si had this thought for no apparent reason.
He finally understood.
Why did the sequence process remain unchanged after entering level 7? Why did the [Strange Corrosion Level] and [Mental Stability] on the system panel disappear? Why could his body turn into starlight and then reform?
It's not because the sequence stopped growing, but because the dimension of growth changed.
Sequences 1 to 6 represent the accumulation of quantity, the stacking of energy, and the iteration of tools.
Starting with Sequence 7, it represents a qualitative leap, a transcendence of life levels, and the budding of divinity.
"Divinity".
Everything in the darkness finally collapsed with a bang when Xu Si gained some insight.
The crimson starlight began to pulsate rhythmically within his "body," like a beating heart or a sophisticated reactor in operation.
Each pulse is accompanied by some deeper change.
His consciousness became clearer, more acute, and also more—calm.
That calmness is not the suppression of emotions, but rather an elevation of perspective.
It was as if he was looking down on his life from a higher dimension, seeing more clearly the people and things that had once made him angry, sad, and afraid.
Perhaps because he had worn the [Heart of the Ice Abyss] for a long time, he himself did not experience much emotional fluctuation.
However, he knew that everything seemed to have indeed changed.
This feeling was very similar to the perspective he had when he looked down at the water surface shattered by the battle from above the island in the middle of Jiangcheng Lake.
But it is higher and more profound than that.
"This is……"
Xu Si’s consciousness tried to capture the specific form of this change, but found that it was inherently formless and intangible, like the wind, like the light, like his own current way of being.
Starlight swirled slowly within his body, and at the center of that vortex, a purer light, distinct from scarlet, was gathering.
The light was not red, not gold, not any color he could describe in words.
If I had to describe it, it would be more like—empty.
A clarity so pure and clear, without any impurities, that it seems to reflect all things in the world.
