Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 743 Gray Light Sets the New Order (1)

The gray light that erupted from the Ultimate Balance Core swept across the surrounding cosmic space like a tidal wave.

The once brilliant stars lost their luster under the gray light, turning into dim specks of light, suspended in the desolate universe.

The Ark of Life was enveloped in gray light, the emerald green portholes completely lost their color, the warning lights inside the cabin stopped flashing, and all the instruments fell into an eerie state of stagnation.

The crimson light stream of Flame was the first to rush towards the hatch. The scorching flame energy stopped pulsating as soon as it touched the gray light, and his body froze in place.

"This gray energy can imprison the flow of energy!"

Yan Jin's voice was filled with shock. He desperately tried to mobilize his consciousness and energy, but the flames and light flowed like solidified magma, remaining completely still.

Canglan's pale blue light followed closely behind, attempting to envelop Yanjin with ocean energy and pull him back to a safe area.

But as soon as his energy was released, it was enveloped by gray light. Fine gray lines spread along the ocean energy and climbed up his light stream in a short moment, making his movements slow down.

"You can't force the energy to flow; you'll be assimilated by the gray light!"

The black and white light stream of the new consciousness retreated rapidly. He keenly sensed that the "balance and unity" energy contained in the gray light was trying to rewrite the properties of all the energy around him.

The initial wisps of fused light clung tightly to the cabin wall. The power of nothingness was adept at concealment, and at this moment he contracted his energy to the extreme, barely avoiding the direct erosion of the gray light, but he could still feel a powerful suppressive force, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

Everyone's gaze turned to the fusion entity in front of the core.

She hovered in the center of the gray light, her body enveloped in dense gray energy. The original six-colored light streams completely disappeared, replaced by wandering gray lines that moved across her body like living things.

Her eyes were closed, and her face was expressionless, as if she had lost her own consciousness, or as if she was making some kind of deep connection with the core.

"Amalgam! Can you hear us?"

Canglan tried to transmit his consciousness fluctuations, but as soon as his consciousness approached the gray light's range, it was bounced back by an invisible force, unable to even stir up a ripple.

Within the black and white light stream of the new consciousness, fragments of the first generation of memories circulated wildly, with records of the "balanced unity" energy flashing continuously in the images.

According to the earliest records, "balance and unity" is the original energy at the beginning of the birth of the cosmic sea, and order and chaos are derived from it.

The new consciousness's voice was solemn: "Once this energy awakens, it will re-merge order and chaos, reshaping the rules of the cosmic sea."

"Reshape the rules? What will happen to the current cosmic sea?"

Yan Jin's voice was filled with anxiety. He could feel the fire energy within his body slowly draining away, as if it were about to be completely drained by the gray light.

"All existing energy systems will be broken, whether it is ordered energy, chaotic energy, or the elemental energy we control, they will eventually be transformed into 'unified energy'."

The black and white light of the new consciousness entity dimmed a bit. "At that time, we will lose the ability to control energy, and even our ideology may be changed."

The primordial wisp of nothingness suddenly spoke, its voice tinged with uncertainty:

“I can sense that the consciousness of the fused entity has not disappeared, but has been enveloped by ‘unified energy’ and bound to the core consciousness.”

A thought struck everyone, and they all focused their minds to sense it.

Sure enough, deep within that dense gray energy, a faint, familiar fluctuation of consciousness could be detected—the aura of the fused entity. However, this aura was mixed with the ancient will of the core, making it exceptionally complex.

The fused entity suddenly opened its eyes.

Her pupils were no longer the six colors they once were, but had turned into a pure gray, as if they contained the secrets of the entire universe, and carried a kind of indifferent coldness.

She slowly raised her hand, and the gray light around her surged, forming energy vortexes that surrounded her.

"A fusion!" Yan Jin shouted excitedly, trying to awaken her self-awareness.

The fused entity merely glanced at him indifferently, offering no response whatsoever.

With a gentle clench of her hand, the gray light surrounding the Ark of Life suddenly contracted, and the previously stagnant Ark began to slowly move closer to the core, as if being pulled by an invisible force.

"She's going to pull the ark towards the core!"

Canglan's heart tightened, and he tried to control the Ark to break free, but the Ark's control system had already been invaded by the gray light and had completely lost its responsiveness.

The black and white light stream of the new consciousness suddenly lit up, and a forgotten memory of the first generation emerged:

"According to the first record, the controller of the 'Balance and Unity' energy will become the 'Balance Master' of the cosmic sea, possessing the power to formulate new rules. However, this control requires a process, and there is a possibility of awakening before the controller is completely integrated with the core."

"What is the method to awaken it?" Yan Jin hurriedly asked. He could see that the Ark was getting closer and closer to the core, and gray patterns had begun to appear on the surface of the hull, indicating that it was being assimilated.

"We need to find the purest part of the merged consciousness, stimulate it with the same source of consciousness energy, and break its bond with the core."

The new consciousness quickly explained, "The purest consciousness of the fused entity is her memory of fighting alongside us, and her obsession with protecting the balance of the cosmic sea."

Everyone immediately understood what he meant.

Yan Jin was the first to release a faint trace of consciousness energy, which carried his memories of fighting alongside the Fusion against the Lord of Reset, with a fiery intensity and unwavering determination.

Canglan followed closely behind, releasing the conscious energy containing the power to protect his companions and resist the chaotic memories, as gentle yet persistent as a calm ocean.

The new consciousness entity and the initial wisp of nothingness also released their consciousness energy. The four different energies of consciousness intertwined and transformed into a soft band of light, carefully approaching the consciousness fluctuations of the fused entity.

The gray light seemed to sense the threat and suddenly unleashed a strong repulsive force, attempting to block the approach of the light band.

The light band vibrated continuously under the influence of repulsive force, and could collapse at any time.

"Hold on! As long as we can touch the consciousness of the merged entity, we can awaken her!" The new consciousness gritted its teeth and persevered, continuously injecting more and more consciousness energy.

Just as the light band was about to be dispersed by the gray light, the consciousness fluctuations of the fused entity suddenly became slightly disordered.

Her brows furrowed slightly, the gray in her eyes seemed to fade a bit, and the gray light around her paused briefly.

"It works!" Canglan was overjoyed and immediately increased the output of his consciousness energy.

Seizing the opportunity, the light burst through the barrier of the gray light and accurately struck the core of the merged entity's consciousness.

The fused body trembled violently, a struggle flashing in its gray pupils. Countless memories of fighting alongside its companions flashed through its mind.
