Chapter 335 Life Spirit
Xu Si's figure landed steadily on the roof of the Nirvana vehicle, his cloak fluttering gently in the gradually calming wind.
He drew his longsword and his gaze swept over every familiar face on the deck.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.
Xiao Luo couldn't make a sound, but he was so happy that tears streamed down his face.
Tashan grinned widely, punched Xu Si in the chest, and gave him a thumbs up.
Chen Pei stood at the edge of the crowd, a hint of relief flashing in his deep blue eyes.
"It's good that you're alright!"
Fu Xiaojian's tense shoulders finally relaxed, and he nodded slightly to him.
The deck instantly became lively.
Xu Si also looked at Nirvana's new form with some curiosity.
The noise on the deck continued for a while until Jiao Jiao crawled out of the chariot, stood at the edge of the crowd with her hands on her hips, and rolled her eyes at Xu Si with an expression that said, "I don't care to look at you."
"So what if I come back? What's the big deal?" she muttered softly, but she was unwilling to leave.
Xu Si heard it clearly but didn't argue with her; he simply nodded slightly.
The "humph" sound made Jiao Jiao blush inexplicably.
Xu Si's gaze then turned to Su Su, who was standing to the side.
After advancing to Sequence 4, her aura became even more profound. Standing on the deck, she resembled an ancient sword yet to be drawn, its sharpness restrained but impossible to ignore.
When those golden eyes swept over the crowd, they seemed to always carry an indescribable kingly demeanor.
Su Su's gaze also fell on Xu Si; this was a scrutiny between powerful individuals.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
No words were spoken, but a tacit understanding had been reached.
The team's top combat strength has been enhanced by another member.
Once the deck had calmed down, Fu Xiaojian walked to Xu Si's side and lowered his voice: "Was that monster level five? How is it?"
"It had too many ways to save itself, so it managed to escape by cutting off its tail," Xu Si replied briefly.
At this moment, Xu Si was unaware that the Crocodile Demon had been torn apart by the Crocodile Evil, and perhaps he never would.
Fu Xiaojian frowned slightly, then relaxed: "Being forced to cut off one's tail to survive is already quite remarkable. In that kind of environment, the outcome would be unpredictable for anyone else."
Xu Si didn't reply.
He couldn't help but recall the venom and mockery in those eerie green eyes when they looked at him for the last time; keeping that guy around would ultimately be a disaster.
But at this moment, what he cared about more was the cocoon of light deep within his sea of consciousness, which was still asleep.
He currently has over 200,000 purification points, but the system has not provided any relevant treatment prompts.
Even when Xu Si asked, the system remained silent.
Moreover, he didn't know if Yi Yi could still upgrade using the system.
Because all her outward appearances were far removed from those of a rare object.
Xu Si's gaze passed over the crowd on the deck and landed on the gradually dissipating clouds.
The turbid torrent shimmered with a dark red light under the blood-red sun, like a flowing sea of blood.
Nirvana floated quietly on the water, its massive body gently undulating with the ripples.
"Go back to your cabins," Fu Xiaojian's voice rang out on the deck.
"We'll figure out a way to land once the water recedes."
It is far more dangerous in the water than on land.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Xiao Luo turned back to look at him one last time and mouthed, "Brother Dao, get some rest."
Jiao Jiao walked at the back, paused for a moment as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just snorted and went back into the cabin.
Silence returned to the deck.
Xu Si also returned to the cockpit that Nirvana had separated.
Consciousness sank into the depths of the sea of consciousness.
The faint cocoon of light was now quietly suspended below the star anchor.
The slow, fluctuating rhythm, like the light of a breath, was unsettling.
"One by one," Xu Si called softly in his heart.
no respond.
He tried to probe the cocoon of light with a wisp of sequence energy, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea, with no response whatsoever.
That empty feeling gripped his heart again.
For now, Xu Si has no choice but to give it a try.
"System, upgrade using the Seed of Life and one-by-one adaptation!"
Xu Si had tried to activate the properties of this unranked artifact, but all attempts ended in failure.
Deep down, he had a feeling that this was the key to saving Yi Yi, and with plenty of purification points available now, he could take a gamble.
After all, Yi Yi's drowsiness was entirely due to her own momentary recklessness.
[Compatible artifact detected: Seed of Life]
[Compatible symbiote detected: Sanctuary Elf]
[Adaptation Solution: Using the Seed of Life as a medium, the Protector Spirit undergoes fundamental enhancement. Upon successful enhancement, the Protector Spirit will evolve into a higher life form and deeply activate its symbiotic characteristics.]
[Estimated Purification Points Consumption: 50000]
[Is compatibility confirmed?]
Xu Si was stunned.
Fifty thousand is alright; he can afford it and he's willing to part with it!
"Confirmed." Xu Si replied without the slightest hesitation.
[Purification Points -50000, Remaining Purification Points: 155770]
[Adaptation in progress...]
Estimated time: 2 hour.
The moment the words left his mouth, Xu Si felt a warm sensation between his brows.
The seed of life that had been dormant in the dimensional space suddenly surfaced in his sea of consciousness.
And that flickering cocoon of light now seemed to have become a real heart.
The Seed of Life is now slowly drifting toward the sleeping cocoon of light.
The moment it got close, the cocoon of light trembled violently.
The tremor was extremely faint, yet it made Xu Si's heart leap into his throat instantly.
"all……"
On the surface of the cocoon, the lines that had faded began to light up again.
At first, it was just a very faint glow, but then it spread rapidly like a spark that had been ignited, turning the entire cocoon of light into a warm, emerald green.
The seed of life is slowly disintegrating and merging into the cocoon of light.
There were no violent energy fluctuations, no dazzling bursts of light, only an extremely gentle and warm vitality, like a spring stream, slowly seeping into the sleeping cocoon of light.
The rhythm of the light cocoon's flickering began to change.
From a slow, unsettling pace, it gradually quickened, became stronger, and gradually...
puff.
puff.
puff.
Like a heartbeat.
Xu Si could clearly feel that Yi Yi's life force was recovering, rising, and transforming at a speed visible to the naked eye.
That's not just recovery, it's evolution.
The primal vitality contained within the seed of life is deeply merging with her, awakening her dormant consciousness, reshaping her body which is on the verge of collapse, and propelling her to a higher level of life.
Time passed in silence.
One minute.
ten minutes.
Thirty minutes.
……
Xu Si remained motionless, his consciousness fixed on the transforming cocoon of light.
He could feel the energy fluctuations inside the cocoon of light growing stronger and more stable, and that familiar, unique spirituality was slowly reviving.
finally--
Click.
An extremely faint cracking sound echoed in the sea of consciousness.
On the surface of the cocoon, the flickering patterns began to unfold, and Xu Si finally saw clearly that they were folded wings.
As the light cocoon gradually unfolds.
Emerald green light poured out from inside the cocoon of light, bathing the entire sea of consciousness in a warm and gentle glow.
And at the center of that light—
A small figure curled up and slowly opened its eyes.
Those eyes seemed to shimmer with the light of scattered stars, deep and bright.
She looked up at the familiar figure at the edge of her sea of consciousness.
"Xu Si..."
A faint yet incredibly clear call echoed deep within Xu Si's consciousness.
Xu Si's consciousness trembled violently.
"all."
He responded in his mind, but his voice trembled uncontrollably.
Finally, the emerald light receded slowly like the tide, eventually settling into its tiny body.
She stood in that void, her wings fluttering gently, each flap scattering specks of firefly light like stardust.
The small figure slowly stretched out its body, stood up from its curled-up state, and then rushed out of the sea of consciousness.
Xu Si's consciousness was also withdrawn.
She looked no different from before, still that tiny elf, with long emerald green hair, transparent wings, and delicate features.
But Xu Si could sense that she was different.
The difference isn't in appearance, but in essence.
She stood there, like a seedling just breaking through the soil, brimming with boundless vitality and potential.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yi Yi tilted her head, her voice still groggy from just waking up.
Xu Si was taken aback.
Although Yi-Yi could speak in the past, she didn't have such a rich intonation and vocabulary.
Xu Si felt that she seemed more human now.
He was communicating, exchanging ideas, and empathizing with a normal human being.
"Xu Si, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Did you think I wasn't going to wake up?"
She asked again, her voice carrying a hint of pride, a hint of coquetry, and a touch of liveliness that Xu Si had never heard before.
Xu Si remained silent for a very, very long time.
Yi Yi wasn't in a hurry. She just hovered in mid-air, tilting her head to look at him, and the corners of her mouth slowly curved into an arc.
"I'm sorry," Xu Si finally spoke, his voice hoarse.
Yi Yi was stunned.
She blinked, and the frequency of her wing flapping slowed down.
She was a little unsure how to respond.
"Why are you apologizing to me?" she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.
"It's my fault that you got into this mess!" Xu Si said, somewhat unable to look Yi Yi in the eye.
Then she suddenly laughed.
"What's there to apologize for? We have a symbiotic relationship. I am you, and you are me! It's all my fault. I should have been with you!" Yi Yi said a lot in one go.
"But……"
"But what 'but'?"
He interrupted him one by one, and with a flap of his wings, Xu Si could actually sense the complete emotions in his tone.
For a moment, he felt as if he were talking to Jiao Jiao, not Yi Yi.
What Xu Si didn't know was that Yi Yi had automatically adapted to the behavioral and communication patterns of the person who had the highest level of affection for him.
She hovered in front of Xu Si, tilting her head, her eyes curving into crescents.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xu Si was stunned.
It wasn't because of the individual changes, but because he could clearly sense that the symbiotic connection between them was now merging at an unprecedented depth.
It's no longer that ambiguous feeling of "you in me, me in you" that we had before.
It is a true and complete "oneness," just as she said, "I am you, and you are me."
Her heartbeat was in sync with his.
Her breathing resonated with his.
Her consciousness and his consciousness were like two converging rivers, indistinguishable from one another.
"System," Xu Si murmured to himself.
[Symbiote evolution complete detected]
[Current Symbiote: Life Spirit]
【Characteristics: "Praise of Life", "Affinity with All Things", "Shared Origin"】

Special State: Symbiosis
Description: The origin and end of life are profound and complex questions, the answers of which can only be found by yourself!
[Comment: True life begins from this moment.]
Xu Si's pupils contracted slightly.
It wasn't because of the numbers, but because of the last sentence.
True life.
He looked up at the small figure that was still only the size of a palm, but was now completely different.
The rare item label on her body seems to have disappeared; not only is there no ranking, but even the description of her characteristics is gone.
"Yi-yi, what are you doing now...?"
"What's wrong with me?"
They flew to him one by one, poked his forehead with their fingers, seemingly interacting with him playfully.
Xu Si didn't know what this meant, but it definitely meant something.
"I can sense what you're thinking."
She suddenly laughed, with a hint of slyness.
"You..." Xu Si rarely lost his composure, and he could also sense what Yi Yi was thinking.
The two truly understood each other perfectly.
She suddenly leaned closer, her small face almost touching Xu Si's nose.
"From now on, I'll protect you."
Xu Si was stunned.
Then, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
That was a genuine smile that had rarely appeared on his face since the end of the world.
"it is good."
At that very moment—
The system notification sounded again.
[A significant increase in host sequence processes was detected]
[Current Sequence: Astrologer (Fate Side)]
[Remaining Purification Points: 155770]
[Sequence Process: Level 4 48% → Level 4 87%]
[Increase in price: 39%]

[Special Spirit: None]

[Divine Position: None]
[Comment: The gears of fate are turning faster.]
At this moment, an unprecedentedly profound light was flowing in Xu Sixing's eyes.
It wasn't scarlet, but a pure, starry color like the night sky.
Can we keep upgrading it to improve the sequence process?
This is much faster than him taking drugs.
Xu Si nodded slightly.
He could feel the new life force flowing slowly within him, like a galaxy.
The sequence process has directly reached the edge where it can sprint to sequence 5.
This is not just a quantitative increase, but a qualitative transformation.
"Thank you, Yi-yi."
He looked at the small figure, his voice calm, yet carrying an unprecedented warmth.
Yi Yi paused for a moment, then turned her head away.
"Hmph, who needs your thanks?"
But the frequency of those wings flapping was noticeably faster.
