Chapter 410 plays a role
The night wind blew from the wasteland, gradually dispelling the lingering anxiety and unease in the camp.
Fu Xiaojian arranged for everyone to rest, and the number of people on night duty was reduced back to normal.
Nirvana stopped again in the center of the camp, and the red behemoth remained silent.
Xu Si returned to the roof of the car, and everyone felt relieved.
Nirvana also provided a detailed explanation of the announcement made at noon today to Xu Si.
Xu Si never expected that the wondrous object [Apollo] could reach such a level.
I just don't know what the Bright Team is relying on.
Since they had issued the call to action, Xu Si felt that their trump cards were at least no worse than his.
If they held back their combat power before the apocalypse, they might even be able to reach Sequence 8 or Sequence 9.
Perhaps we can actually build a human shelter.
There was no need to dwell on these things any longer; all the mysteries would be revealed when they met the Bright Team.
Xu Si began to make the most of his time to familiarize himself with his new sequence.
"Star Lord." He murmured the title, a beautiful smile curving his lips.
Previously, they were "Star Masters," like a child gazing at the starry sky, reaching out to touch those unreachable points of light.
Now he is the "Star Lord," and he himself has become a star, one of the myriad stars.
The star core quietly rotates deep within consciousness, and with each pulsation, a trace of pure energy flows throughout the body.
It felt like he had an extra heart, constantly supplying him with energy.
Yi Yi is still asleep deep in the heart, breathing steadily and long.
Xu Si did not disturb her, but only occasionally checked her condition to make sure everything was normal before withdrawing his attention.
Night fell quickly.
The stars lit up one by one, as if ignited one by one by an invisible hand, spreading across the entire sky.
The excitement and commotion brought about by Xu Si's return gradually subsided as the night deepened.
People dispersed in twos and threes, returning to their own vehicles and corners.
One by one, the emergency lights went out, and only the night watchmen remained vigilant, silently watching over the edge of the camp.
On the roof of the Nirvana vehicle, Xu Si sat cross-legged.
He didn't use any special abilities; he simply sat quietly, letting the starlight fall on him, feeling the photons from billions of kilometers away penetrate his skin, muscles, and bones, and ultimately be captured, absorbed, and transformed by the star core.
This is a completely new experience.
Before advancing to Sequence 6, he could only passively accept the gifts of the Blood Sun and Starlight, like a thirsty traveler greedily swallowing every drop of rain falling from the sky.
But now it's different.
The stellar core rotates within his body, like an insatiable black hole, actively drawing in the stellar energy that roams the heavens and earth.
They are no longer "gifts" but "prey".
Xu Si slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and opened his eyes.
Starry eyes glowed faintly in the night, and deep within the scarlet pupils, tiny specks of light slowly swirled, like a miniature galaxy.
His gaze swept across the camp.
Chen Pei was on night duty again tonight. He was sitting cross-legged on the top of the RV, surrounded by fine water droplets that glistened under the starlight, like a still sea of stars.
He also seemed to be working overtime to catch up with Xu Si's progress.
Although that is difficult.
Xu Si withdrew his gaze and did not disturb him.
Everyone has their own path to walk; he just happened to have a lucky break and progressed faster.
Xu Si checked the system panel and found that there were still quite a few purification points remaining.
Just as he was checking the system for any new potions, the system played a joke on him.
Surprisingly, there was no enhancement potion that matched sequence 6.
Does this mean the medicine is no longer effective on his current body?
Xu Si stared at the system panel for a long time to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
It really doesn't.
There wasn't a single Sequence 6 enhancement potion.
It's not that there aren't enough purification points, but that the system simply doesn't offer this option.
"What do you mean?"
He muttered to himself, his brows furrowing slightly.
The system did not respond.
He flipped through the potion list again—Transformation Potion, Divine Body Potion, Godhood Potion, General Enhancement Potion…
They're all still there, but most of them are marked with a status: "[Weak effect on the current sequence]".
Only the Divine Body Potion and the Divine Transformation Potion do not have this label.
So his next step should be to enhance his divinity and the strength of his divine body?
Xu Si fell into deep thought.
From Sequence 5 to Sequence 6, he relied on the Transcendental Elixir and the life energy feedback during each advancement to forcefully push the sequence progress past that threshold.
But what about sequences 6 to 7?
According to the system's logic, the potion is only an "assistance"; true advancement requires something he has not yet understood.
"Star Core".
He murmured the word; perhaps that was the key.
As consciousness sank into his body, the dark red sphere was quietly rotating in the void.
Xu Si sensed it for a long time and discovered that the thing's size was not fixed, but was slowly growing.
He finally confirmed a fact: the star core might be the key to advancing to a higher rank.
Therefore, it makes sense that the system no longer provides potions.
High-level sequences cannot be broken through by drugs.
The next morning, as the blood sun rose above the horizon, the camp was already bustling with activity.
Fu Xiaojian, unusually, did not urge everyone to break camp, but instead gave everyone a relatively relaxed morning.
Smoke rose from beside several vehicles, and the aroma of heated compressed biscuits and canned goods filled the air.
This stuff has been consumed for who knows how long, but the convoy still has half of it in stock.
Xu Si had even more inventory.
"Knife, dinner's ready." He showed great enthusiasm for Xu Si's return to Tashan, but didn't even ask where Fan Wanwan had gone.
Xu Si landed gracefully, took the bowl, and did not thank him.
The two stood side by side, just like when the team was first formed.
"What should we say today?" Tashan asked.
"Head southeast and meet up with the Guangming convoy first," Fu Xiaojian said.
"This journey may not be peaceful!" Shao Bing said with some concern.
After all, their convoy was going to cut straight through, which would significantly increase the danger level.
Fu Xiaojian then turned his attention to Xiao Luo, hoping that Xiao Luo could advance to Sequence 3 or even Sequence 4.
He looked at Xu Si but didn't say anything until his gaze fell on Fu Ruoxue.
This woman has not made any contributions since joining the team.
It would be a real waste to have such a talented pharmacist not put his skills to good use.
Before we reunite with the Bright Team, let's improve the team's strength first.
Fu Xiaojian secretly made his plans.
Fu Ruoxue also noticed Fu Xiaojian's gaze and seemed to understand something.
It was bound to happen sooner or later, so she didn't have any objections.
As the morning light deepened, the aroma of breakfast in the campsite was carried away by the wind.
Fu Xiaojian, holding the bowl, turned his gaze away from Fu Ruoxue and did not rush to speak.
Some things are not in a hurry.
