Chapter 510 Still refusing to see me?
The two opposing consciousnesses, which had been locked in a standoff for an unknown period of time, vanished simultaneously after that sound, like two wisps of smoke scattered by the wind, leaving no trace.
But these words, like thunder rolling across the void, reached Xu Si's ears through the countless stars.
At this moment, fate cracked open.
Xu Si didn't know whether they said it unintentionally or deliberately to him.
But he finally found an answer in his heart.
He didn't know whose voice was the last one, but he knew whose voice was the other one.
Wonderful.
The sister he had searched for countless days and nights, the sister he only had time to say two words to.
So it turns out that she was the one who had been protecting me all along?
Xu Si looked at the system panel, and finally, everything became clear!
The note was still there—【Is it finally time?】
He didn't understand the meaning of that sentence before.
Waiting for what? Who is waiting? Why "finally"? And why is it a question?
Now he understands everything.
His own sister was actually the chosen one—the God of Creation.
That's why he had the system.
That's why he was regarded as God's chosen one.
"I know you're here! You've always been here!"
Xu Si didn't know whether he was speaking to the system or to Him.
An unprecedented sense of loss completely enveloped him.
The system did not respond, nor did it provide any other response.
Even the wind disappears at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
"Are you still going to hide from me? How long are you going to keep hiding from me?" Xu Si took out the [Star Whisper Throat] from his spatial cloak.
The whispers of blood were always present but remained inactive, as if they were constantly mocking him.
How could it be activated?
Perhaps she hasn't figured out how to face herself yet?
Xu Si twisted the boundless star power in his right hand, and cracks appeared in the hands of this 124th ranked rare item.
Then, with a "bang," it transformed into a sky full of stars.
Xu Si is forcing her to show herself.
Ten thousand meters in the air, loneliness enveloped him once again.
The blood-red sun hung behind him, casting his dark red light into a straight, lonely silhouette.
The shattered fragments of the Star Voice Throat drifted in the air like a silent, reversed rain, gradually moving away from his palm, away from his sight, and finally merging into the light of the blood sun, never to be seen again.
The system did not respond.
The void did not respond.
There was nothing there.
Xu Si was suspended 10,000 meters in the air, his right hand still in a loose clenched position.
He waited.
A few breaths.
A dozen or so breaths.
Thirty breaths.
Time seemed to stretch out, and Wan Liuchun seemed to sense that something was wrong with Xu Si. She hid in the dark building and secretly became a bystander. Naturally, she did not hear that conversation.
"...Still won't you see me?" His voice was like the screeching of glass, not in tone but carrying an indescribable emotion.
Perhaps it was anger, perhaps it was sadness, or perhaps it was a chilling weariness that seeped from the very core of one's being.
He imagined many scenarios of reuniting with his sister.
But it turned out to be just a deception.
If your sister is a deity, then what is real?
Is everything he experienced in the past true?
Is she really his sister?
Why him?
Why choose him?
"I only have one question, and you're unwilling to answer it?"
Xu Si's voice sounded as if it had been tempered by the [Heart of the Ice Abyss].
The solitude at 10,000 meters altitude was like a transparent cocoon, separating him from the whole world.
The light of the blood-red sun poured down from behind him, casting an infinitely long shadow in front of him that seemed to stretch to the very edge of the earth.
He waited.
The text on the system panel finally began to change slowly, one character at a time.
【…】
【……no.】
Only two words.
It's not that I'm unwilling to meet, it's not that I'm unwilling to answer, it's just that—no.
Xu Si stared at those two words, his body trembling, his starry pupils slightly contracting.
"Not what?" His voice rose slightly, like a sharp blade being drawn from its sheath, its edge gradually exposed to the air.
He was probably the answer in his heart.
This is not deception.
The text on the panel changed again, this time at a faster pace.
Xu Si was stunned.
"I only have one question: Are you really my sister?"
Actually, Xu Si had many questions he wanted to ask, such as whether she was the God of Creation.
For example, her real name?
For example, how are my parents doing?
such as……
But he ultimately chose this question anyway.
He was afraid. He was afraid that all of this was fabricated by the so-called gods, that it was all a complete conspiracy in the end.
There was another long silence, just as Xu Si came to terms with reality and stopped hoping for an answer.
"elder brother!"
The familiar voice finally rang in his mind again.
That cry of "Brother" was like a red-hot iron awl, piercing straight into his heart from ten thousand meters in the sky, piercing through all the frozen, numb, and feigned indifference.
Xu Si's tears fell without warning.
It wasn't silent tears, but a release that had been suppressed for too long and finally found an outlet.
The light of the blood-red sun enveloped him, turning his tears into dark red, scalding stars that slid down his cheeks, solidified in the void, and then shattered and dissipated.
"...Miaomiao," he called out.
When those two words were squeezed out of his throat, they sounded like a blade being sharpened on sandpaper.
【……elder brother.】
The voice echoed in my mind once more.
Xu Si reached out and grabbed at the void haphazardly, as if trying to pass through that invisible barrier and touch the figure hidden in some unknown space.
"Why don't you—" His voice trailed off.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why don't you show up?
Why did it take me so long to find this?
Why couldn't he say a word when he watched me struggle through the apocalypse, watched Jiao Jiao die in front of me, and watched Yi Yi leave me?
These questions were like a pack of wild beasts trapped in a cage, rampaging through his body, yet not a single word could escape.
He wanted to ask her why she initiated this divine selection; they should have had a bright future together.
But he couldn't ask; he knew she must have endured far more than he had.
[...After awakening in the apocalypse, I learned my true identity; I didn't mean to deceive my brother.]
But she still explained.
Xu Si's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
"And now? What are you now? A god? Or my sister?"
silence.
【...all of them.】
"All of them?" Xu Si's voice carried an almost cruel sarcasm.
【elder brother.】
That call reminded Xu Si of his younger sister's previous coquettish apology.
There are some things I can't tell you right now. I really can't. The only thing I can tell you is to be careful of Hades, and become a god as soon as possible. After that, I can no longer help you, brother. You are the most powerful god-king...
The system panel disappeared little by little under Xu Si's gaze, just like that voice.
Everything returned to silence.
