Survival in Sequences: Eighteen Years Old, Slaying Monsters Like Horses

Under Xu Si's gaze, Fu Xiaojian walked straight forward, bypassing everyone else.

The four-pronged scepter totem between his brows gleamed with a serene luster under the dark golden light.

His senses swept over everyone in the cave.

Hundreds of thousands of faces and hundreds of thousands of eyes seemed to realize something, and the scene fell silent.

He let out a long breath.

"I am Fu Xiaojian."

The sound, resonating through the laws of order, entered the consciousness of every individual, steady, solemn, and with an unparalleled power to move them.

"Many of you know me, and many of you don't. That doesn't matter. What matters is that from this moment on, we will face the most difficult journey together."

There was no commotion in the crowd, because they were already prepared.

"I know this journey will be far more difficult than anyone can imagine. Unknown, fear, hunger, loneliness, and even despair."

Perhaps we will never return to this land. Perhaps this is the last time we will breathe the air of this planet.

He paused, and the scepter totem between his eyebrows twitched slightly.

"But we have no choice. When we lack the power to resist, remember this feeling today!"

Tashan stood at the front of the crowd, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Su Su lowered her head, her expression equally cold.

Xiao He clung tightly to Xiao Shi's arm. Neither of the two children spoke, but tears were already silently streaming down their faces.

Xu Si stood three steps behind Fu Xiaojian, the web of fate deep within his starry eyes still slowly turning.

He watched Fu Xiaojian's retreating figure, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.

This guy is a born leader; he doesn't even need to learn.

Fu Xiaojian turned to the side, gesturing for Xu Si to step forward and say something as well.

But Xu Si rejected the idea with his eyes; he really wasn't suited for that kind of role.

"We are leaving not out of cowardice," Fu Xiaojian continued.

"We left because someone was buying us time, buying us a chance at a future. So from this moment on, no one has the right to give up on themselves."

At this moment, Fu Xiaojian felt that his own laws of order were about to erupt again.

At this moment, it seemed that everyone's beliefs were united.

"Remember today, remember why we are so powerless. When one of you—whoever it may be—becomes strong enough, come back. Come back and take back everything that belongs to humanity."

His gaze slowly swept across the crowd, as if he were taking attendance for the last time.

"Set off."

As soon as the two words were spoken, the crowd began to slowly disperse.

There was no pushing or shoving, no crying or shouting; the order was so perfect it was unsettling.

The long experience of the apocalypse has made everyone realize that tears are the most useless thing.

"Take care!" Xu Si's voice was filled with an indescribable solemnity, and these two words carried more of a trust.

Fu Xiaojian was silent for a moment, wanting to make one last attempt.

"You really aren't coming with us?"

"Perhaps your guess is wrong? Why would a deity target you?"

He himself didn't believe this, because Xu Si had never made a mistake in what he said.

Xu Si did not answer.

Nirvana had made its final preparations for departure. A tiny version of Nirvana, about the size of a dough ball, floated beside Xu Si, bidding him a final farewell.

"Take good care of them for me!" Xu Si asked as his last words.

"You really are a pushover, but you're also my master!" This was the first time Nirvana had ever complained to Xu Si.

Since becoming Oddity 001, Xu Si has never had time to get to know his partner again, and now he has even less time.

Please!

"..."

"Next time, I promise I won't neglect you!"

With their hearts connected, Xu Si could naturally sense Nirvana's subtle emotions.

"Alright, let's go!" Xu Si reached out and caught the small dough ball, which was only the size of an earphone.

"I will take good care of my people for my master," Nirvana said solemnly, as if bidding a final farewell.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Xu Si's body turned into light and disappeared, while Nirvana's appearance began to heat up slightly, with dark golden patterns flowing on its surface, a sign that the laws of space were operating at high speed.

The next instant, this grotto-heaven, which held the last spark of humanity, transformed.

With a muffled hum that even made the World Tree tremble, it completed its spatial jump and completely disappeared from Earth.

Xu Si looked up at the empty clouds and reached out to pinch Little Nirvana.

Earth was unusually quiet.

The World Tree still stands, the Myriad Things Return to Nothingness Formation still stands, and those survivors who refused to leave remain in their respective corners, some silent, some praying, and some experiencing their final moments of peace.

For Xu Si, this was the first time he was truly alone.

but.

Spring is still here. The Sword Demon Clan is still here. Yi Yi is still here.

There were also extraterrestrial visitors—Sizan, Guca, and Sola.

Nevertheless, a feeling of emptiness, like a tide, surged from all directions and enveloped him.

"Um! What are we eating today?" Jiao Jiao's voice echoed through the palace, making Xu Si think he was hallucinating.

Xu Si turned his head.

At the entrance of the palace, Jiao Jiao stood there, her ponytail had come undone at some point, with a few stray hairs sticking to her forehead.

She looked at Xu Si nervously, like a student awaiting admonishment.

"Why didn't you leave?" Xu Si frowned.

Jiao Jiao didn't reply, and hid behind a pillar, seemingly avoiding Xu Si's gaze.

"Didn't you say it was a voluntary choice? I choose to stay," she said, seemingly justified.

In reality, he was neither convinced of his own position nor assertive, and his guilty conscience was evident in his tone.

Xu Si's eyes turned cold.

He wasn't angry, but rather felt a rare sense of powerlessness.

He had gone to great lengths to revive her and didn't want her to make a pointless sacrifice.

Jiao Jiao stood behind the pillar, like a cat that knew it had done something wrong but refused to admit it. Half of her face was hidden in the shadows, and the half that was exposed was full of guilt, but she did not waver.

Xu Si's eyes softened immediately. Perhaps this was fate's arrangement?

He already had concerns about Jiao Jiao's position, so it's good that she's staying here!

"Does Su Su know?" Xu Si asked.

"Of course Auntie supports me!" Hearing Xu Si's words soften, Jiao Jiao gradually became bolder.

In the end times, there isn't much time left for us to spend together.

Accepting everything with equanimity and leaving no regrets may be the best choice for an individual.

Xu Si didn't chase Jiao Jiao away anymore, which made Jiao Jiao very happy.

Although she didn't know what she was going to face, even knowing that she had died once before, she was no longer afraid of anything.

Especially when she's alone with Xu Si, how can that not be considered a date?
