Chapter 507 The Source of the Plague
Countless fragments flashed through Xu Si's mind: after the apocalypse, a blood-red sun hung in the sky, the soil died, crops failed, and strange things ran rampant...
Everything seems to be inextricably linked to the "Blood Sun".
Or rather, it has some connection with this strange object.
"What's wrong?" Wanliuchun noticed Xu Si's unusual behavior, and with her bare feet, she lightly touched the air and floated to his side.
Xu Si did not answer immediately.
His consciousness still lingered in the blood-red sun, trying to perceive the full picture of that strange object more deeply.
But whenever his senses touched the surface of the Blood Sun, they were repelled by an invisible force.
It's not that I'm rejecting his exploration.
More like a warning.
"There's something hidden in the blood-red sun," Xu Si finally spoke, his tone extremely stiff.
As Wanliuchun said, this divine selection was full of strangeness. Could the strangeness be hidden in the blood sun?
Wanliuchun's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a strange light flashed in her amber eyes.
"What is it?"
"A strange object, ranked 004, is called the Source of Plague. Do you know it?"
Wan Liuchun's expression changed instantly.
"This must be the work of the God of Plague," Wan Liuchun thought to herself.
"You know what this is?"
"I'm not sure if it's the one I know, but if it really is... then everything makes sense."
"What do you mean?"
"The source of the plague, a tool used by the god of creation to cleanse the old world, was later chosen by the gods and obtained by Hades. He used it to eliminate all his opponents and ascend to the position of god of plague."
"Hades... God of Plague." Xu Si repeated the name, and it seemed as if he recalled the only sentence or word he had said to his sister: "Brother, plague..."
Now that I think about it, my little sister must have told me to "beware of the plague god," but how did she come into contact with the plague god?
All of this felt like a red-hot branding iron, making his temples throb.
"So, the apocalypse, the blood-red sun hanging in the sky, the soil dying, crops failing, and even Earth itself dying... all because of this thing?"
Xu Si's voice grew softer and softer, and endless rage surged in his scarlet eyes.
Xu Si's gaze was fixed on that blood-red sun.
Looking at it now, it's no longer the sun; it's clearly a massive, meticulously crafted source of pollution, exuding a putrid stench.
Xu Si slowly clenched his fist at his side, his knuckles making a cracking sound.
Now he knew that Earth had not "become" a dead star, but rather had been "turned" into a dead star.
Someone stuffed the source of the plague into the Blood Sun, using its power to poison the entire small world little by little, continuously and irreversibly.
Earth's entire ecosystem is like a body being slowly injected with venom, beginning to necrotize, turn black, and rot from the extremities.
Earth, on the other hand, can only wait to die.
"What's wrong?" Wanliuchun's voice came from beside her, tinged with unease.
She had never seen Xu Si show such an expression before.
It wasn't anger, nor sadness, but a cold, almost cruel calm.
It was like the silence before a storm.
Xu Si did not answer. Wan Liuchun's pupils contracted slightly; it was the first time she had ever seen Xu Si with such an expression.
"Do you have a way to remove it?" She guessed what Xu Si was going to do.
"I don't know," Xu Si said.
"But I'll give it a try."
His figure disappeared from the spot.
Wanliuchun and Jian Shiyi exchanged a glance and followed at the same time.
Only [Molten Hell Sniper] remained in place, letting out a slow breath, but it certainly wouldn't dare to run away.

Xu Si's ascent was far faster than ever before.
Stellar energy surged wildly within him, like a slowly rotating galaxy, propelling his body into the boundless starry sky.
The blood-red sunlight poured down from above, enveloping him entirely in crimson light.
In the past, this light would make him feel warm and comfortable, and even bring about the growth of the sequence process.
But now, knowing the true nature of that light, that "warmth" becomes nauseating.
Three thousand meters.
Five thousand meters.
8,000 meters.
Xu Si's ascent did not slow down at all.
The air was so thin it was almost nonexistent, but he didn't need to breathe now.
The higher-level life sequence freed him from too many of the physical rules that had once bound him.
In the starlight's pupils, the outline of the blood-red sun became increasingly clear.
It was no longer the blurry, haloed disc seen on the ground, but a huge sphere radiating strange rules.
The closer he got, the more clearly Xu Si could sense the existence of the source of the plague.
It is not seen with the eyes, but perceived with one's own senses.
That kind of pure, undisguised malice, corruption, and disease.
"Xu Si!" Wan Liuchun's voice came from behind, carrying an unusual urgency.
"Don't come any closer!" The scorching heat of the blood-red sun was extremely harmful to Wanliuchun, a half-spirit.
However, they are extremely special beings for a race like Sword Eleven.
Xu Si did not stop.
He had to take this thing away no matter what, otherwise even with the World Tree, Earth would have a hard time recovering.
The altitude had exceeded 10,000 meters, the air had completely disappeared, and in its place was a thin, unknown stream of particles flowing silently around him.
The light of the blood sun changed from scarlet to dark red, and from dark red to a deep red that was almost black, like congealed blood or a dying ember.
Xu Si's star-like eyes have completely adapted to this brightness.
He could even see the details on the surface of the blood sun—those seemingly uniform rays of light were actually composed of countless fine lines, like some kind of ancient language, or like some kind of deliberately carved seal.
The scent of the source of the plague is becoming increasingly clear.
It lies hidden at the heart of the Blood Sun, like a malignant tumor wrapped in layers, constantly releasing corrupt and deadly energy.
The energy, following the light of the blood-red sun, poured onto the earth, seeping into the soil, water, and air, slowly turning a vibrant planet into a dead one.
"Xu Si! Don't come any closer, or you'll—" Wan Liuchun's voice came again, this time with obvious anxiety.
Her figure became somewhat unstable in the light of the blood-red sun, like a wisp of smoke blown away by the wind.
As a half-spirit, the high temperature and radiation of the Blood Sun caused her real and continuous damage.
The silver-white blade of Sword Eleven shone even brighter in the blood-red light, as if it were absorbing some kind of energy.
Xu Si did not answer.
He continued to climb.
The gravitational field of the Blood Sun began to truly take effect.
That wasn't ordinary celestial gravity, but a selective, willful pull.
It was refusing to let Xu Si get close, like an invisible hand pushing against his chest, trying to push him away from this airspace.
Xu Si mobilized his star power to resist the thrust.
Then, he was surprised to find that he could actually use this power for his own purposes.
Is it a star anchor?
Xu Si was uncertain.
