Chapter 812 Reincarnation Choice (1)
The figure of the Ruler gradually solidified amidst the seven-colored light. He looked at the rune fragments in the fused body's hand and the Dimensional Heart beside him, his eyes filled with vicissitudes and solemnity.
The tremors of the cosmic sea grew more and more intense, the signs of dimensional reincarnation became more and more obvious, distant stars disappeared one after another as if being wiped away by an invisible hand, and spatial rifts spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Once the cycle of dimensions begins, it cannot be reversed, unless..."
The rule envoy paused, his gaze falling on the fused entity, "Unless someone can completely merge their own origin with the Heart of the Dimension and the Origin Runes, becoming a new dimensional anchor point."
However, the price to pay is that the merger will forever lose its self-awareness, becoming part of the dimensional rules, eternally guarding the balance of the multidimensional world.
These words shocked everyone. The three original consciousnesses' expressions changed drastically, and Yan Jin said urgently, "No! Lord Fusion, we can't agree to him! We must have other ways!"
The fused being's hand, holding the rune fragment, trembled slightly. Looking at the dimensional beings around her, gripped by the panic caused by the dimensional cycle, and recalling the sacrifices made by Elder Vairocana and the dimensional guardians to protect the dimensions, she already had her answer.
Her eyes hardened with unwavering resolve: "I'm willing. What does losing my self-awareness matter if it's to stop the dimensional cycle and protect everyone's home?"
"Master Fusion!" the crowd cried out in unison, their eyes filled with reluctance and sorrow.
A flicker of emotion crossed the rule-maker's eyes: "Have you thought this through? Once you merge, you will no longer be yourself. Your memories, emotions, and consciousness will all vanish, leaving only your instincts as a dimensional anchor."
"I've made up my mind." The merged entity nodded and walked step by step toward the Heart of the Dimension. "Let's begin."
The Ruler sighed softly, waved his hand, and released silver energy, enveloping the fusion, rune fragments, and the Heart of Dimension within it.
Silver energy formed a giant cocoon of light. Inside the cocoon, golden runic light and the seven-colored light of the dimensional heart intertwined and continuously flowed into the fused body.
The fused entity felt a powerful force transforming her body and soul, and information from countless dimensional rules flooded into her mind, causing her excruciating headaches.
Her consciousness began to blur, and past memories flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern.
The scenes of first encounters with Yan Jin and Cang Lan, the thrilling battles against the Lord of the Outer Realms, the time spent fighting alongside the Dimensional Guardians... these memories are rapidly fading away.
"Don't...forget..." the fused entity murmured with its last bit of strength before its consciousness completely faded into darkness.
The cocoon of light suddenly burst forth with intense light, illuminating the entire cosmic ocean.
Amidst the light, the fused form gradually became transparent, eventually merging with the rune fragments and the Heart of Dimension, transforming into a massive, seven-colored pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
Golden runes surrounded the pillar of light, radiating a stabilizing dimensional power that was rapidly repairing the spatial rifts caused by dimensional cycles, and the vanished stars began to reappear.
"Success..." The rule envoy breathed a sigh of relief, a gratified smile appearing on his face.
Everyone stared at the seven-colored pillar of light, their eyes filled with tears and awe. Yan Jin clenched his fists, his voice choked with emotion: "Master of Fusion... thank you."
The seven-colored beam of light suddenly began to vibrate, its light became unstable, and the golden runes showed signs of distortion.
The rule-maker's expression changed drastically: "What's going on? Why is there an anomaly at the dimensional anchor point?"
Suddenly, a strong black energy fluctuation emanated from the pillar of light. This energy shared the same origin as the energy of the ancient dimensional lord, yet it was even more bizarre.
Immediately afterwards, the pillar of light began to be eroded by black energy, the seven-colored light was gradually replaced by black, and the golden runes turned dark gold, exuding an evil aura.
"Not good! This is a backup plan from the ancient dimensional lord!"
The Rule Messenger exclaimed, "He actually left a clone of his will in the Heart of the Dimension! After the consciousness of the merged entity dissipated, the clone seized the opportunity to take control of the dimensional anchor point!"
From within the black pillar of light came the arrogant laughter of the ancient dimensional lord: "Hahaha! Didn't expect this, did you! I foresaw this day! The Heart of the Dimension was created by my own hands back then, how could I not have left a backup plan! Now, the entire multidimensional world will become an extension of my will, and I will become the true ruler of the dimensions!"
The black beam of light released countless streams of black energy, shooting towards every corner of the cosmic sea.
The dimensional creature struck by the energy instantly lost consciousness, its eyes flashing red light, and became a puppet of the ancient dimensional lord.
Even Yan Jin, Cang Lan, and the others felt a powerful will invading their minds, trying to control their consciousness.
"Resist! Don't let him control you!" the Rule Messenger shouted, mobilizing all the silver energy within his body to form a protective barrier around everyone, blocking the invasion of the black energy.
An avatar of the ancient dimensional lord's will controlled a black pillar of light, which attacked the messenger of rules.
The black energy collided with the silver energy, and the Ruler was blasted away, spitting out silver blood as his aura rapidly weakened: "I alone am no match for him who controls the dimensional anchor..."
Just as everyone was in despair, a faint, multicolored light suddenly emanated from the black pillar of light.
Although the light was faint, it was exceptionally resilient, constantly resisting the erosion of the black energy.
A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the rule-maker: "It's the consciousness of the fused entity! She hasn't completely dissipated yet!"
It turns out that in the last moment before the consciousness of the merged entity dissipated, the memories that flashed through its mind turned into a wisp of obsession. This wisp of obsession stubbornly remained in the dimensional anchor point and was not devoured by the will of the ancient dimensional lord.
It was this obsession that sparked the resistance of the multicolored light.
"Master Fusion!" Yan Jin shouted, mobilizing the life energy within his body and shooting it towards the black pillar of light. "We're here to help you!"
Canglan and the three primordial consciousness entities also intervened, injecting their primordial energy into the black pillar of light. This energy resonated with the multicolored light, forming a powerful force that began to suppress the erosion of the black energy.
"You ants, do you think you can stop me like this?"
The will of the ancient dimensional lord roared, and the black pillar of light erupted with even more powerful energy, attempting to devour everyone's energy.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the cosmic sea.
A golden figure slowly emerged from the energy fluctuations; it was the phantom of the Dimensional Guardian.
He stared at the black pillar of light, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Ancient Lord, your conspiracy ends here! Although I am merely a phantom of consciousness, I am willing to burn myself to aid the fused entity!"
The phantom of the Dimensional Guardian transformed into a golden stream of light, which flowed into the black pillar of light.
The golden light merged with the multicolored light and the primal energy of everyone, forming a torrent of energy interwoven with gold and five colors, rushing towards the will avatar of the ancient dimensional lord.
"No! This is impossible!" The will clone let out a desperate roar, and the black energy quickly dissipated under the impact of the golden five-colored energy torrent.
In the end, the clone of will was completely destroyed, the black pillar of light returned to its seven colors, and the golden runes also regained their original radiance.
The figure of the fusion gradually appeared in the pillar of light. She slowly opened her eyes, which shimmered with a mixture of seven colors and gold. She possessed both the majesty of a dimensional anchor point and the consciousness belonging to the fusion.
"Master Fusion!" everyone shouted in surprise. It transformed into black energy and dissipated into the cosmic sea.
