Chapter 509 Just what I wanted!
With the blood-red sun like a cage, Xu Si, who was already able to draw upon its energy to a certain extent, set his sights on the 'Star Mirror'.
He didn't use this feature much, or even very little, and before, it was almost always a premonition; he didn't fully activate it.
星鑒
Description: With the stars as eyes, peering into the workings of the world, secrets will no longer be secrets, concealment will no longer be concealment; where the stars shine, nothing will be able to hide.
Previously, Xu Si's control over the stars was not enough for him to perfectly utilize this characteristic, but when he just invoked the blood sun energy, Xu Si felt it was worth a try.
As long as his younger sister is in a place illuminated by the blood sun, she will definitely be captured by his "Star Mirror".
As long as he knows where his younger sister is, he can fly there even if he has to.
Xu Si was suspended 10,000 meters in the air, with the blood sun hanging behind him like a huge dark red millstone, casting his figure as an elongated silhouette that almost blended into the sky.
He felt that the blood-red sun was both so close and so far away from him.
"What's wrong?" Wan Liuchun asked, puzzled as she saw Xu Si still making movements.
Jian Shiyi waited quietly to the side.
"It's nothing!" Xu Si wasn't entirely sure and didn't want to talk about it.
He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the depths of the star anchor, into the chain connected to the blood-red sun.
This time, it's not about absorbing energy, but about borrowing a path—borrowing the light of the blood-red sun as pupils and the brilliance of the stars as eyes, projecting perception to every corner of the earth.
The properties of the Star Mirror were activated to their fullest extent within him.
The feeling was strange, like being disintegrated into billions of points of light, which were then scattered across the earth along with the light of the blood-red sun.
Every beam of light is his eye, and every inch of the illuminated land is an extension of his perception.
Mountains, wastelands, ruins, dried-up riverbeds, collapsed cities—all the corners covered by the blood-red sunlight unfolded in his consciousness, like a boundless map that was constantly being updated.
Wanliuchun peeked half her face out from the dark building, her bare feet dangling in mid-air, her amber eyes reflecting the increasingly intense scarlet light emanating from Xu Si.
Despite being at the same level of life, she sensed a huge difference between the two.
Moreover, Xu Si had only recently advanced in his cultivation level, and his control over his own strength was far less refined than hers.
But what he could do was something she could never achieve.
Sword Eleven's blade trembled slightly, its silvery-white light gleaming with a cold, sharp edge under the blood-red sun.
It seemed to be able to sense what Xu Si was doing at that moment.
That feeling made the blade of his sword, the [Sword of Kingship], tremble.
Xu Si's consciousness swept across the earth.
He "saw" the City of Fire, where the emerald green World Tree spread its enormous canopy in the center of the city. It seemed to have grown more than twice as tall as when he left, and it seemed to be growing even taller.
The fluorescent green light and the dark red of the blood sun intertwined to create a unique scene.
He "saw" Chen Pei leading the hunting team to diligently clear away the strange creatures lurking outside the city.
He "saw" that Tashan was raising and reinforcing the city walls, and that everyone was strengthening the city's defenses.
He continued sweeping outwards.
Beyond the basin, among the mountains, on the wasteland, deep within the ruins.
One by one, the lights of the survivors were gradually lit up in his perception. Several convoys were actually very close to the City of Fire and were heading towards it. It must have been Fu Xiaojian who took the initiative to report the location of the City of Fire.
Many of the survivors either formed small teams to traverse the wasteland with difficulty, or they took up weapons and fought strange battles.
Xu Si also saw those high-level anomalies that had lost their territorial restrictions. Their psionic fluctuations appeared like dark vortexes in the Star Mirror's vision, slowly and irreversibly spreading further and further away.
Xu Si did not linger on these images.
His consciousness traversed mountains, wilderness, and the fragmented ruins of cities, extending further and further, searching inch by inch for the figure of someone.
The Star Mirror's field of vision continued to expand, from a radius of a hundred miles to a radius of a thousand miles, and then to a radius of ten thousand miles. Wherever the light of the blood sun shone, its perception could extend to that area.
He saw the sea.
It wasn't the azure, shimmering sea of the pre-apocalyptic world, but a dark, murky body of water with a dark red sheen, like a mirror soaked in the light of a blood-red sun.
Several collapsed city ruins lie on the beach, the tide lapping against their foundations with a dull thud.
He saw the snow-capped mountains.
The snow on the mountaintop gleamed with a dark red luster under the blood-red sun, like a mountain that was bleeding.
At the foot of the mountain lies a wasteland covered by frozen soil, with huge skeletal remains scattered across it, the origin of which is unknown.
His vision stretched ever farther and wider.
But that familiar figure never appeared in his sight.
Xu Si frowned slightly.
The Star Mirror's perception range has covered most of Earth. It can even sense survivors hidden in underground bunkers at great depths, strange psionic cores entrenched in the depths of ruins, and enormous creatures slowly swimming in the depths of the ocean.
But he couldn't detect any psionic fluctuations from Miao Miao, not even a trace of them.
Therefore, there are only three possibilities.
Either Miaomiao isn't in a place where the Blood Sun can shine—like the back of Earth, the deepest underground, or certain areas shrouded by special forces.
Either Miao Miao's aura was concealed in some way, and the method of concealment was so sophisticated that even the Star Mirror could not penetrate it.
Or perhaps it really is as I suspected...
He searched the area illuminated by the blood-red sun again and again, and finally had to accept this reality.
"Is it really you?"
Xu Si recalled the past and looked up at the void.
In the void where there is no direction and no time.
Two consciousnesses converged here.
"Is this one of His backup plans? The despicable nature of humanity truly remains unchanged throughout history!"
"You are clearly afraid! Afraid that He will return and settle scores with you for your past sins!"
"Why would I fear Him? Even if He is invincible throughout the ages, I have already caused His downfall once, and I can slay Him a second time!"
"How can you be so sure that the current game of chess between heaven and earth wasn't something He deliberately lured you into?"
The divine voice on the other side suddenly froze, and the surge of divine power became sluggish.
"So what! I'll sit here and wait for Him to return in triumph!"
"If you have nothing to fear, why bother with so many underhanded tricks?"
"Hahaha—this is the ultimate principle of your human race! nip all potential threats in the bud!"
"Unfortunately, despite your cunning schemes, you've only allowed Him to grow naturally. What can you do now?"
"The cycle of fate is endless; the outcome is still undecided, and the final result remains to be seen!"
"By the way, at the front lines, Severn is probably struggling alone now. Pass on a message to Him—tell Him to be careful in all things!"
"You'd better take care of yourself! You've smuggled yourself out of the front lines; aren't you afraid the Chaos Rift will collapse from where you're stationed?"
"That... is exactly what I wanted!"
