Chapter 505 Who should we pick here?
【Molten Prison Sniper】’s dark yellow vertical pupils were full of resentment, but it still opened its mouth.
A strange core, about the size of a fist, interwoven with dark red and black, slowly emerged from its mouth, its surface shimmering with lava-like patterns of light, bearing some resemblance to Xu Si's Starburst.
Xu Si reached out and grasped it, feeling the scalding heat in his palm.
He glanced at the [Molten Prison Sniper] crouching on the ruins, its size now reduced to that of a domestic dog. Its dark yellow vertical pupils were staring unblinkingly at the core in his hand, indicating that it still harbored some resentment.
"Has your contract really been dissolved?" Even though he already had the answer in his heart, Xu Si still had to ask.
【Melting Prison Sniper】 paused for a moment, then nodded. They realized that this guy had beaten them up like this just to ask a question.
Why don't you just ask directly?
Xu Si's expression froze for a moment, but he didn't say anything more.
"I need you for something, and if you dare to turn against me, you'll know the consequences."
Xu Si's voice was calm, but the body of [Molten Prison Sniper] visibly trembled. It had no doubt about Xu Si's methods, especially since its core was still in Xu Si's hands!
Xu Si's body stiffened, and then he looked at the energy core in his hand.
If he and the [Molten Prison Sniper] are beings of the same life level, then logically he should also have an energy core.
He did have a star core before advancing to the higher sequence, but after advancing to the higher sequence...
The star core has been completely integrated into his body, but what about his energy core?
Is there any connection between these?
"Do you have this?" Xu Si then showed the strange core in his hand to Wan Liuchun and Jian Gui.
Wanliuchun rolled her eyes at Xu Si and then hid in the dark building.
This question is a bit too pointed!
Who should we order from here?
Xu Si looked completely bewildered.
"Yes and no!" Jian Shiyi didn't hide anything.
"What do you mean?"
Jian Shiyi was clearly unsure how to explain, hesitating over how to phrase it.
There is a fundamental difference between level seven and level eight life forms; advancing in life level is the process of completely erasing one's own weaknesses.
Jian Shiyi didn't explain it very clearly, but Xu Si understood.
Just like when he advanced from Sequence Six to Sequence Seven and integrated the Star Core into his body, it was about eliminating weaknesses.
The "weirdness" step is only taken when a level seven weirdness advances to level eight weirdness.
No!
That is, Xu Si's current situation.
Xu Si seemed to have grasped something. Could this be the key to his advancement to Sequence 8?
"Then what does 'have' mean?" Xu Si asked.
"Just make one yourself!" Jian Shiyi said.
Erasing one's own weaknesses is extremely difficult.
Exposing one's weaknesses is a fairly easy thing to do, but probably no one would do that.
This is also why the higher the life level, the harder it is to kill.
"Make one again?"
He murmured Jian Shiyi's words repeatedly, something slowly and stubbornly emerging in his mind.
Jian Shiyi didn't say anything more, quietly floating aside to protect her.
【Melting Prison Sniper】quickly shut his mouth and huddled to the side, reflecting on why he had gone out today.
Xu Si closed his eyes.
Consciousness sank into the body, past the surging star power, past the flesh and bones that had been strengthened to the extreme, all the way to the deepest part.
Heart Source Space.
He had always treated this place as Yi Yi's bedroom and had never paid much attention to it.
But now that I think about it, there was a reason why Yi Yi stayed here.
Xu Si's consciousness lingered in the Mind Source Space for a long time.
This area still retains its original appearance.
The boundless crimson void stretched outwards in all directions, with no end in sight and no boundary in touch.
He remembered that when Yi Yi was still here, the room was always bathed in a warm, emerald-green light, like a room that was forever illuminated by the spring sunshine.
Now that light is gone, and it has returned to its original, flat state.
Is this his true core?
Xu Si's consciousness continued to sink.
He wanted to find the feeling that Jian XI had described—to create a new energy core.
But it's easier said than done.
The energy core is not a clay figure created out of thin air, but rather the condensation of the essence of life, the crystallization of sequential energy, and the manifestation of the fire of the soul.
It requires not only strength, but also a complete understanding and absolute control over oneself.
Wan Liuchun said he needed to "adapt" to the higher life levels.
Sword Eleven states that the process of advancing in life level is the process of eliminating weaknesses.
So, does creating an energy core mean condensing all one's power, all one's characteristics, and all one's ways of existence into a single point?
It's like squeezing a drop of water into an ocean.
Xu Si closed his eyes.
Within the space of his heart, crimson star power surged from all directions, condensing, rotating, and compressing around him, like a collapsing nebula.
He tried to draw the star power inward, converging it towards the core point deep within his heart.
That point is very small.
So small that Xu Si could barely sense his presence.
But it is also very large, so large that it seems boundless. As long as Xu Si continues to gather star power, that point can become infinitely large.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xu Si's forehead.
It felt strange, like turning my whole body inside out, or like folding a piece of sky into a box.
There was no intense pain, but rather a profound sense of unease.
Xu Si felt that his body was not himself, his soul was not himself, and everything about him seemed to appear and disappear intermittently.
While he was conducting experiments deep within his heart, he did not notice that the sequence process on the system panel was rushing forward at an alarming speed.
[Sequence progress: 24%...27%...31%...]
Deep within the heart, the crimson stellar energy continued to collapse inward, converging towards that core point.
Each compression was accompanied by a subtle tremor that spread outward from the depths of his heart, through his stellar veins, through his flesh and blood, through his bones, rippling throughout his body like waves.
Like a star that is being conceived.
Of course, Xu Si couldn't possibly create a new weakness for himself.
He was simply getting used to his perfect control over himself.
Just as that point began to take shape, Xu Si casually dissipated it.
The dissipated star power washed over Xu Si's body again at an explosive speed.
[Sequence progress: 47%...53%...61%...]
Xu Siyou felt it wasn't enough, so he re-condensed the star power before it dissipated.
The feeling of being completely in control was so wonderful that Xu Si couldn't help but want to try it a few more times.
He always felt that this was absolutely the key to his promotion to Sequence Eight.
And that is indeed the case.
As he gradually gained control over the levels of life, his sequence progress finally reached the boundary of a breakthrough.
Outsiders were astonished, as they tried to persuade Chunhe and Jian Shiyi to stay.
What happened?
