RBCT Chapter 511 is too irresponsible.
Chapter 511 is too irresponsible.
"fine!"
"Really, it's great!"
Xu Si couldn't quite describe his feelings.
The system panel has disappeared.
The voice disappeared.
Loneliness enveloped him once more, this time more thoroughly and without reservation than before.
Xu Si looked down at his hands.
Those hands, no longer made of human flesh and blood, gleamed like starlight under the blood-red sun. Each finger seemed to be pieced together from fragments of stars, yet it was so real it couldn't be more real.
Gods!
So they really were gods!
Then he won't have any worries!
At this moment, Xu Si just wanted to end all of this as soon as possible.
Hades.
Xu Si silently recited the name in his heart, as if chewing on a red-hot iron.
When the apocalypse came, he thought it was a natural disaster.
Later, he thought it was a game of the gods, a destiny for humanity to be chosen.
Later he discovered that it was just a very simple conspiracy.
Now he finally understands—this is war.
It has been from the very beginning.
It has been like this since the end times began.
The war began the moment the Chosen Ones took place.
Before this, he had many fantasies about gods.
But now all those illusions have been shattered.
Even so, he still wanted to see what the view was like from the highest point.
"The King of Gods?"
"It seems pretty good!"
Xu Si's eyes were cold and sharp.
Xu Si turned around and plummeted from a height of ten thousand meters.
The wind whistled in his ears, and the blood-red sun's rays poured down from behind, dragging his figure into a burning meteor.
He did not deliberately control his speed, letting gravity pull him toward the earth.
Stellar energy surged within him, and the heat generated by its friction with the air formed a dark red halo on his skin, like a suit of armor being tempered.
He smashed the clouds.
The gray-white sea of mist tore apart, churned, and receded beneath him, revealing a vast, desolate land stained dark red by the blood-red sun.
The outline of the city of torches emerges on the horizon.
The emerald green World Tree seemed to open its arms to embrace it, its fluorescent green light standing out against the dark red of the blood sun, like an oasis forgotten in the desert.
Xu Si's speed suddenly stopped when he was a hundred meters away from the World Tree.
From extreme motion to extreme stillness, there is no buffer, no deceleration process, like a sword cleaving down from the sky being firmly grasped by an invisible hand at the last moment before it hits its target.
A visible ripple of air exploded beneath him, spreading outwards and causing the treetops of the World Tree to rustle.
The members of the convoy guarding the city wall looked up and saw the figure floating in mid-air. After a brief moment of surprise, they all nodded in acknowledgment.
"Lord Xu Si has returned!"
Xu Si didn't look at them. His gaze went over the city wall, over the busy caravan members, over the lush botanical garden, and landed on the verdant World Tree in the center of the city.
The World Tree has grown more than twice its height since he left.
The emerald green canopy gleamed with a warm luster under the blood-red sun, and fluorescent green light flowed down from between the leaves like a silent, never-ending meteor shower.
How long has it been?
Perhaps it's because the source of the plague was removed, and the World Tree was no longer restrained?
That's probably it.
Xu Si turned his gaze into the city and was surprised to find that the City of Fire had many unfamiliar faces.
It looks like they are other new team members.
Fu Xiaojian was more efficient than he had expected.
Dozens of miles away from the city gate, a small convoy was heading towards the City of Fire.
Xu Si stopped paying attention.
His figure vanished from mid-air and appeared beneath the World Tree the next moment.
He reached out and pressed his palm against the rough tree trunk.
The rough bark felt cool to the touch, and its fine texture resembled someone's still-developing eyebrows and eyes.
"Yi-yi," he called out in his heart.
no respond.
But that familiar, warm energy surged from the tree trunk, flowed into his body along his palm, swirled once in the empty space deep within his heart, and then slowly receded.
It sounded like he was trying to comfort her.
Xu Si felt that the emptiness in his heart had not been filled, but had become even deeper.
He took a deep breath, withdrew his hands, and turned to walk towards the city lord's mansion.
Along the way, he saw many changes.
The city wall has been raised and reinforced by at least two times. It can no longer be called a city wall, but more like a high wall. Xu Si felt that the tower was built entirely according to the height of the World Tree.
The city's defense system has been further improved, and the defensive forces on the city walls have been greatly increased. Xu Si even saw Master Wei's figure. It seems that everyone is being put to good use.
Zhou Wan rose from the lush greenery, watched Xu Si's departing figure, and then squatted down again to examine her treasures.
City Lord's Mansion
Fu Xiaojian was sitting on that hard white jade chair, with a thick stack of documents spread out in front of him.
Paper documents are generally used for important records, such as the sequence information of team members.
This was also one of the conditions under which Fu Xiaojian agreed to allow other teams to enter the city.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up and his gaze lingered on Xu Si's face for a moment.
"Are you sure?"
"Um."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaojian became less anxious.
As he frowned and pondered, he suddenly realized that Xu Si gave him a different feeling.
Xu Si sat down opposite him, leaning back in his chair. Even though his body had reached the point where he didn't need to rest anymore, he still felt extremely tired.
But at this moment, there is another guy who is even more tired than him.
That is the [Melting Prison Sniper], it's not physically tiring, but mentally exhausting.
The human, clutching his own bizarre core, simply left without returning to retrieve him.
It's incredibly irresponsible to just say you don't want it anymore.
It could only rush wildly toward its own core, causing the strange creatures along the way to scatter and flee.
This distance is just a matter of blinks for Xu Si now, but for the [Melting Prison Sniper], it is like an insurmountable chasm, making it keep sticking out its tongue as it runs.
But it can't stay put. If that human gets angry and destroys its core, then it's really doomed.
It ran while cursing under its breath.
I shouldn't have gone out in the first place, I shouldn't have been greedy enough to eat those low-level weird things, and I shouldn't have lingered in those ruins.
"We're here...almost here..." it kept reassuring itself.
Inside the city lord's mansion, Xu Si leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, longing to take a nap.
Fu Xiaojian didn't say anything more.
He could tell that Xu Si didn't want to talk right now.
He could sense the deep-seated weariness emanating from Xu Si.
"By the way, there's something I need to tell you." There was only one thing Fu Xiaojian absolutely had to say.
"What is it!"
"Shortly after you left, the World Tree began to grow wildly. Zhou Wan sensed that the area where the World Tree had been activated had far exceeded the city, and even exceeded this basin! In other words, the area we can cultivate is enough to feed tens of thousands of people, but we don't have that many seeds right now!"
"We shouldn't have to worry about food anymore!"
Fu Xiaojian thought this was good news, at least it would be of some use to Xu Si.
If the World Tree grows up, will Yi-Yi come back?
