Chapter 546
With the infusion of Xu Si's Law power, the World Tree's explosive growth showed no signs of stopping.
The fluorescent green light spread outward from the center of the tree canopy, like ever-expanding ripples, penetrating the branches, the air, the city walls and stone houses, enveloping the entire City of Fire in an almost blinding golden-green halo.
The tree trunk beneath his feet trembled, and that tremor traveled from Xu Si's palms up his arms, through his shoulders and chest, and finally resonated with the small world deep within his heart that was beating violently.
"What are you doing?!"
Wanliuchun's pupils suddenly contracted, her eyes surging with unprecedented horror.
She sensed that Xu Si's newly promoted rank was gradually dimming, and if this continued, there was even a risk of him being demoted.
Sword Eleven's blade trembled violently, its silvery-white edge drawing rapid arcs in the void.
He could also sense that the star power within Xu Si's body was being drained at an alarming rate. This drain was not a gradual consumption, but rather as if something was forcibly drawing it away, like a flood bursting forth from a dam.
"Master, your foundation of laws is cracking!" Jian Shiyi's voice was unusually urgent.
Xu Si did not answer; his feelings were naturally more genuine.
At the edge of his small world, fine cracks did appear in the newly formed and unstable law patterns, but he did not stop.
Everything is still under control.
His fingertips rested on the trunk of the World Tree, and star power flowed into its intricate textures like an unending river.
He could sense a dramatic transformation taking place inside the World Tree—the dormant, slowly circulating energy channels were being ignited, activated, and accelerated by his power of law, like a seedling that had been given a ripening spell, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The World Tree's trunk grew rapidly, and its canopy resembled a towering dark cloud, almost completely obscuring the light of the blood-red sun.
The fluorescent green light grew stronger and stronger, transforming from gauze into silk, from silk into armor, and from armor into an expanding fortress composed of pure life force.
……
City of Passing Down the Flame.
The team members, bathed in a rich golden-green fluorescent light, were the first to sense the anomaly.
A continuous, low tremor came from beneath my feet, as if something enormous was turning over underground.
A young soldier leaned against the crenellations of the city wall, peered down, and his gaze froze instantly.
The roots of the World Tree are breaking through the ground outside the city wall. Those thick, fluorescent green roots are like sleeping dragons awakening from the ground, pushing aside the rubble and soil along the way and extending towards the distant wasteland.
"Minister...Minister! Come quick!"
Tashan was standing on the city wall, watching the outside world turn into a complete mess, and for a moment he didn't know what had happened.
The changes within the city were minimal.
The newly joined, yet unawakened, residents of the city began to unlock their sequence abilities one by one.
They were ecstatic, tearful, and celebrating.
Those sequence extraordinary beings on the verge of breakthrough also naturally and uncontrollably began their advancement.
In the plantation, all the crops are ripe.
farm
Big Yellow happily surveyed the surroundings, and in just a short while, he had already devoured three fat chickens.
Fu Xiaojian and Zheng Fangzhou were also unaware of what had happened.
Zheng Fangzhou even ascended directly to the very top of the city center, ready for battle at any moment.
It was all for the sake of protecting this city, which I had only stayed in for a few days, but which I had already developed a deep affection for.
Crows circled high in the sky, and greenery surged as far as the eye could see.
"What's wrong with the World Tree?" Zhou Wan was the first to notice the abnormality of the World Tree.
The World Tree is simply too big and too tall, so some drastic changes are not so obvious on it.
However, Zhou Wan felt it the most deeply.
If the World Tree was like a candle flame in her sequence before, it is now like a bright sun.
In her perception of the sequence, the World Tree was going mad.
It was rising higher with every breath, expanding with every moment. The branches and leaves seemed to be lifted up by an invisible giant hand, climbing into the deep sky. The shadow of the canopy was devouring the wasteland outside the city at an incomprehensible speed.
"Old Xu... what exactly are you doing?" Fu Xiaojian murmured.
There's no doubt that only Xu Si could cause such a commotion.
However, even after copying the sausage sequence, he still didn't understand what Xu Si was doing.
Having advanced to Sequence Nine, Xu Si was no longer within the perception of any other sequence, something Xu Si himself was unaware of.
Jiao Jiao rushed out of the stone house, looked up at the giant tree that almost touched the sky, and reflected the rolling golden-green light in her gray-black eyes.
She could feel the dissipating starlight in the air, so familiar it made her teeth itch.
Of course, it wasn't that she could sense it, but rather that her sequence was too familiar.
"Redhead?" she murmured, then flashed away and sped towards the World Tree.
Su Su chased after her, looked at her back, glanced at the giant tree that was expanding, gritted her teeth, and had no choice but to follow.
No matter what Xu Si is doing, he can't let Jiao Jiao act recklessly.
"..."
The top of the World Tree.
Xu Si's eyes were now covered with fine, scarlet lines. These lines, like lightning, spread from the depths of his star-like pupils along the whites of his eyes outwards, each line glowing faintly.
He could no longer feel his fingertips.
He couldn't feel his arms, shoulders, or most of his body; his remaining strength was only enough to stabilize his broken power of laws.
His consciousness was being peeled away layer by layer, like an onion being peeled open piece by piece.
The most direct feeling is the loss of perception, starting with pain, then touch, and finally temperature, distance, and the concept of time.
Until finally, only one clear, burning, and fervent thought remained: Keep going!
"all."
He called out again in his heart.
This time, he sensed it; the World Tree responded.
It wasn't a sound, nor a thought, but a warm, verdant emotion.
Like a drop of dew sliding off the tip of a leaf, or a tiny wildflower quietly blooming in the palm of your hand.
The emotion was both strange and familiar, carrying a hint of grievance and dependence.
Xu Si smiled.
Just like Yi Yi who could only say "Yi Yi" at first, but that's enough.
"Xu Si! If you keep going like this, something really bad will happen!"
Wanliuchun finally couldn't bear to watch any longer and stomped her bare feet heavily in the void at the top of the World Tree.
Yi Yi seemed to be fully aware of Xu Si's situation.
A ball of golden-green energy enveloped Xu Si and forcefully rejected his infusion of laws through its consciousness.
"Alright, alright, I'm just a little tired, don't worry!" Xu Si comforted her.
As long as the laws don't collapse, he won't be in trouble.
