Chapter 476 Divinity - Exquisite
"Divinity—Exquisite." This word inexplicably appeared in Xu Si's mind.
There was no origin, no explanation, just as the seed had been buried deep within his consciousness, waiting only for this moment to sprout.
The sword demons, far away on Sword Mountain, seemed to have sensed something and looked straight toward Xu Si's camp.
He didn't know why the boy had changed so much in such a short time. He had only been promoted to a high-ranking position a few days ago, and this was something that others could only dream of.
Why does God show such favoritism towards humanity?
Wanliuchun laughed, her gaze fixed on the direction of Jianshan. "So you dare to look down on me?"
Sometimes, the choice you make is more important than your efforts.
Yi Yi couldn't understand the smile on Wan Liu Chun's face; he was only concerned about when his own Xu Si would wake up.
When Xu Si regained consciousness, the sky was filled with endless stars.
The sky was completely cloudless, and the stars seemed to be falling directly onto Xu Si's head.
It gave Xu Si the feeling that he could reach out and pick it.
His own changes were even more obvious.
That change was not a sudden increase in power, nor an expansion of perception, but a fundamental transformation.
Just like a piece of ore being smelted into steel, the same mass and the same volume, but the internal molecular structure has been completely reorganized.
He opened his eyes.
A crimson glimmer emanated from the depths of his pupils for a fleeting moment, then receded, like a lamp whose light had been dimmed.
The star pupil was still rotating, but at a much slower speed than before, slow and steady, like the rotation of a star.
"How long has it been?" he asked, his voice calmer than he had expected.
"Not long, just one day." Wanliuchun skipped a few steps barefoot on the roof of the Nirvana vehicle, looking somewhat excited.
"I thought it would take you at least a few days."
"You know?"
Xu Si's gaze fell on the system interface, where a new item had indeed been added: [Divinity - Exquisite].
The other interfaces remained unchanged.
Even the sequence process remains at level 7, 1.23%.
"That's a really good thing. If you have that, you've got a ticket to be chosen by the gods of this world!" Fan Wanwan rarely explained to Xu Si.
Xu Si thought of what Fan Wanwan had told him: This apocalypse is a process of elimination, a selection process to choose new gods.
He is now eligible to enter the main competition.
Is that right?
"Maybe you'll be the first to possess that thing? If you go even further, you might be able to surpass all your kind and claim the divine throne!" Wan Liuchun said, becoming more and more excited.
What is a divine position?
Although the system interface also had this term, Xu Si had only just heard it from someone else.
The wind on Kenzan has never been so gentle.
The silver-gray stone swords gleamed with a cold luster under the starlight, like a sleeping metal forest.
Xu Si sat cross-legged on the roof of the Nirvana Chariot, with the Sword of Kingship lying horizontally on his lap. The dark golden light of the sword intertwined with the starlight above his head to form a flowing halo.
Wanliuchun suddenly lost her smile, her bare feet stopped at the edge of Nirvana, and she turned her head to look in the direction of Sword Mountain. Perhaps she really had to help, after all, Xu Si was a hot commodity now.
"We have guests," she said.
Xu Si also sensed it.
It wasn't a perception from the celestial veins, but something more mysterious, related to the divine "exquisite," more like a premonition, yet different.
Finally, the silver-white figure appeared at the edge of Xu Si's camp.
It's not the sword demon that Xu Si battles every day, but the complete sword demon called Sequence 8.
Its armor had not faded; the silver-white armor gleamed with a cold metallic luster under the starlight, and there were two raised, sword-like decorations on the shoulder armor, like two inverted short swords.
"Human." The voice still had a metallic resonance, but it was more profound than any of the sword demons Xu Si had ever heard, like the lingering sound of a bronze bell being struck.
"You're not him?" Wanliuchun said in a low voice, his tone unusually devoid of teasing. This was not the previous Sequence 8.
Is there more than one sequence 8 here?
"No, I am him and yet I am not him," the Sword Demon said.
Xu Si and Wan Liuchun both frowned.
"My Sword Demon clan possesses the characteristic of being imbued with sword intent, so we are only temporarily borrowing the bodies of our clansmen!" the Sword Demon said.
"You guys?" Xu Si realized that there seemed to be more than one sword spirit possessing his body.
"Yes, Sword Three, Sword Five, Sword Six, Sword Seven, Sword Nine, and Sword Eleven, which you all know," Sword Ghost said.
So Xu Si is talking to the six sword demons right now?
Xu Si stood up from the top of the Nirvana Cart. The Sword of Kingship was unsheathed on its own and hung at his side, its tip trembling slightly and emitting a clear sword sound.
"What advice do you esteemed seniors have for me?"
"I dare not presume to offer guidance. My Sword Demon clan also aspires to become a servant race of the Master, just like the Infatuated Demon!"
"You old bastard, come on, I'll fight you to the death, you shameless scoundrel!"
Before Xu Si could understand what Jian Gui was saying, Chi Xin Gui became anxious.
"Young man, your reaction is far too much. You wouldn't...?"
Jian Gui's voice still resonated with a metallic quality, but there was a hint of laughter and speculation in his tone.
"Come on, let's fight now. You really think I'm afraid of you?" Wan Liuchun cut him off.
Her exquisitely beautiful face was now filled with undisguised anger.
How could she let someone else reap the rewards?
Although before she simply wanted to see the world because it was so big, how could things be the same now!
Trying to take her place? That's wishful thinking.
"Since the Foolish Ghost has not become a member of the adult's race, my Sword Ghost clan is willing to swear allegiance to the death, and will not regret it even if the gods perish!" the Sword Ghost said again.
Clearly, the old guys had already figured out the essence of it.
Clearly, they didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Meanwhile, a little guy hiding in Xu Si's shadow was trembling with fear.
Chi Xin Gui was seething with hatred at this moment, but she knew that she couldn't possibly be a match for Jian Shiyi, who was empowered by the sword intent of so many old guys.
So all she did was make a lot of noise but did little, and she didn't actually take any action.
Xu Si, however, had many questions to ask.
For example, what is a "familiar"? Why would the Sword Demon Clan want to become his "familiar"?
"What is a family member?" he finally asked, voicing his first question.
Sword Demon was silent for a moment.
The silver-white figure stood at the edge of the camp, the sword-shaped decorations on the shoulder armor casting two slender shadows under the starlight, like two sharp swords hanging at its sides.
"Does Your Excellency not know?"
"I don't know."
Xu Si's answer was concise and frank. He genuinely didn't know.
Since the end of the world, he has climbed all the way from Sequence 1 to Sequence 7, and the information he has come into contact with is fragmented.
Although he was able to piece together a rough outline of the story through the system and other serendipitous encounters, he still didn't know the specifics or whether it was true or false.
Sword Demon leaned forward slightly, and as the crack on his face opened and closed, silvery-white light surged out like a tide, dyeing the ground several feet around him a cold metallic color.
"The retinue are the followers of the gods, the extension of authority, and the embodiment of will—"
It paused, seemingly considering its words.
Xu Si roughly understood.
