Chapter 500 Photosynthesis
Xu Si reached out and took it; the life energy on it was so familiar.
"Is this the memento you left me?" Xu Si's gaze turned to the World Tree not far away.
The voice that once resonated in my heart never sounded again.
The World Tree did not answer.
The tree canopy swayed gently in the morning breeze, and the fluorescent green light flowing between the emerald leaves flickered.
Xu Si used sequence energy to bind the Torch Card numbered 000 and put it into his spatial cloak.
"The hunting team sent back news yesterday that there are two Level 6 Anomalies lurking in the nearby city, and there are probably more high-level Anomalies yet to be discovered. Chen Pei didn't dare to make any rash moves, and only cleared out some ordinary ones on the outskirts. Do you want to go take a look?"
Fu Xiaojian had shown Xu Si the strange hunting party's catches these past few days, but Xu Si didn't like them. Fu Xiaojian thought it was probably a matter of rank.
He wasn't asking Xu Si to do hard labor, but rather he wanted Xu Si to get some exercise, as staying with the World Tree all the time wasn't a solution.
Xu Si remained silent, his gaze still fixed on the World Tree, which was now more than twice the height of the city wall.
The emerald green canopy spread out like a giant umbrella under the blood-red sun, and fluorescent green light flowed down from between the leaves like a silent, never-ending meteor shower.
The roots have never stopped spreading underground.
He could feel it—those hair-thin roots had already traversed the entire basin, passed through the mountains on three sides, and were extending further into the distance.
At the tip of each root, a faint fluorescent green light flickered, like lamps shining from deep underground.
That is life energy being injected into the dead soil; perhaps once its roots have spread out, it will become the true master of this world.
That is, when world consciousness was born, as mentioned one by one.
"Go," Xu Si said.
These days he has been numbing himself by immersing himself in the illusion of the Black Building. His combat ability has been improving, but his mental state is getting worse and worse.
Fu Xiaojian glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to leave.
He didn't need to ask Xu Si too much.
Some understandings don't need words, just as some bonds can never be broken.
Xu Si stood under the World Tree, raised his hand, and placed his palm against the rough trunk.
"Yi-yi," he called out in his heart.
no respond.
But he could feel that familiar, warm energy surging from the tree trunk, flowing into his body along his palm, swirling once in the empty space deep within his heart, and then slowly receding.
Xu Si closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then turned around.
Then his figure rose from the center of the city, without relying on Nirvana, without relying on any external force, and without even calling upon sequence energy.
He stood straight up like a sword being slowly drawn from its scabbard.
He relied entirely on the level of life that Wan Liuchun mentioned, and during this period he really gradually achieved the adaptation that Wan Liuchun had mentioned.
The higher life levels gradually became clearer in his eyes.
The sausage was the only one who found him.
The little girl in the Wind Listener sequence was listening to Mi Jia tell stories about the pre-apocalyptic world in the school. Her ears twitched slightly, but she caught the sound of Xu Si taking off.
"Brother Dao..." she whispered, her lips moving as if she were speaking to herself.
"Chang Mingming! Listen carefully!" Mi Jia, a fairly gentle teacher, pulled Kaochang back to reality.
Her mind was in turmoil, but she didn't know how to express it. She was afraid that Brother Dao would leave without saying goodbye again, just like last time.

Xu Si traveled through the clouds.
As the altitude climbed to 3,000 meters, the clouds finally thinned out, and the sunlight of the blood-red sun peeked through the gaps, casting dappled shadows on him.
When he first climbed to this height, he felt warmth, not cold.
This altitude seems to have a particularly good effect on replenishing his blood-sun energy.
This is still a new discovery.
Xu Si lingered high in the sky for a moment, feeling the "favoritism" of the blood sun energy towards him.
The feeling was strange, as if someone had opened a previously undiscovered door inside him, and stellar energy surged out from the door, resonating and harmonizing with the light of the blood sun, and then slowly growing in the resonance.
The growth rate wasn't fast, but the familiar feeling made him unable to stop.
"The sequence process... is it moving?"
Xu Si's consciousness sank into the system panel, and his scarlet star-like eyes narrowed slightly.
The numbers for the sequence progress are slowly fluctuating—from 23% to 23.01%, and then to 23.02%.
It's not an illusion.
Why?
He understood that the high-level sequence could be improved by sunbathing on the day before, because there was a star anchor present.
However, since he was promoted to a higher rank, his progress in the sequence has not improved due to the Blood Sun.
Now, at an altitude of 3,000 meters, the blood sun energy has begun to take effect again.
Why is that?
Xu Si lingered high in the air for a few more moments, confirming that the sequence was indeed slowly growing before pulling himself back to reality.
Three thousand meters—this height is like a forgotten threshold; only after crossing it can the energy of the Blood Sun truly open up to him.
He didn't know if this was a common feature of Sequence 7 or a special characteristic of his own sequence path, but it was at least good news.
The clouds churned beneath my feet, and the gray-white sea of fog stretched all the way to the horizon.
The blood-red sun hung above the sea of fog, its dark red light turning the entire cloud layer into a patch of embers about to burn out.
Xu Si withdrew his gaze and began to descend from a height of three thousand meters.
The wind whistled past my ears.
At 2,500 meters, the sequence continues to advance bit by bit, and the effect remains.
Two kilometers, still the same.
The same thing happened at 1,500 meters.
It wasn't until Xu Si descended to a height where he could clearly see the World Tree that the replenishment of Blood Sun energy became almost imperceptible.
Is it the World Tree?
Xu Si stepped out of the World Tree's influence and climbed again.
1,500 meters? No.
Two kilometers, no.
Two thousand five hundred meters, no.
I still didn't get that feeling at 3,000 meters.
Xu Si smiled wryly, wondering if this was some kind of physical cheat code he'd been given.
Could it be that the World Tree, in its symbiotic state, enabled him to perform "photosynthesis"?
But why does it stop working when we leave the World Tree's range, and why does the effect decrease the closer we are to the World Tree?
Shouldn't the closer you are to the World Tree, the better the effect?
Xu Si lingered high in the air for a few more moments, trying several times before finally confirming the fact that left him both amused and exasperated.
The closer he gets to the World Tree, the weaker, or even nonexistent, the beneficial effect of the Blood Sun energy becomes.
This is completely contrary to common sense.
The World Tree is a symbol of life, the source of emerald green light, and the hope for the resurrection of the dead.
Its life energy is gentle, pure, and full of vitality, completely different from the intense and aggressive energy of the Blood Sun.
When the two energies met in his body, they did not merge, but rather canceled each other out.
"So... Yi-yi is helping me shield myself from the effects of the Blood Sun?" Xu Si muttered to himself.
Why would it do that?
Isn't the Blood Sun an energy source that can help him advance in rank?
The moment this thought popped into my head, many things I couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.
After the apocalypse, a blood-red sun hangs in the sky, and strange phenomena run rampant. Humans either awaken their potential or become food.
Previously, some people speculated that the power of the Sequence Extraordinary originated from the Blood Sun.
Yi-yi believes that this energy is not good for her.
Is that right?
So Yi Yi is helping me, protecting me?
Xu Si was a little dumbfounded. What should he say about anchoring to the Blood Sun?
