Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 698 The Balance Prophecy of Rune Awakening and the Shadow of the Dimensional Ghost (1)

Deep within the forbidden treasure vault of the interdimensional alliance, on the surface of the sealed Chaos Reincarnation Disc, the faint golden rune lit up once more.

This time, the runes did not extinguish quickly, but instead transformed into a stream of light, following the energy patterns of the sealing array, and flew towards the "prophecy crystal" in the center of the treasure vault.

The moment the crystal came into contact with the flowing light, it burst forth with intense rainbow light, and countless ancient prophetic texts quickly appeared on the surface of the crystal. This was the "Prophecy of Balance" that had been forgotten for hundreds of millions of years.

The vault's alarm system activated instantly, with red warning lights flashing in the passageway, and Alliance guards immediately assembled at the vault.

The Alliance Elder "Starfall," responsible for guarding the treasure vault, arrived first. His celestial form stared in shock as he looked at the words on the prophecy crystal:

"The Prophecy of Balance... it actually exists! According to ancient transdimensional texts, this is a prophecy left by the initial consciousness of the universe, which will only be awakened when 'the path of balance has a fork in the road', guiding the direction of ultimate balance."

The inscription on the prophetic crystal gradually stabilized, and Elder Starfall deciphered it word by word:

"'The Chaotic Cycle Conceals the Key to the Endgame, the Seed of Destruction Nurtures the Light of Balance, the Three Dimensional Hearts Gather the Power of Resonance, and the Shadow of the Traitor Conceals the Core of the Alliance.' What does this prophecy mean? The Key to the Endgame, the Light of Balance, the Dimensional Hearts, the Shadow of the Traitor... every keyword is shrouded in mystery."

Upon receiving the alarm, the merged entity and the gatekeeper immediately rushed to the Forbidden Treasury via a spatial teleportation channel.

The golden phantom of the fused entity approached the prophecy crystal, and its consciousness connected with the crystal:

“I can sense the energy guidance in the prophetic text. The ‘Heart of Dimensions’ are the crystallizations of three special dimensional energies, hidden in the ‘Elemental Dimension,’ ‘Spiritual Dimension,’ and ‘Time Dimension,’ respectively. Only by collecting all three Hearts of Dimensions can the ‘Key to the Endgame’ in the Chaos Reincarnation Disc be activated, and the specific path to ultimate balance be found.”

The gatekeeper's illusory consciousness stared thoughtfully at the phrase "The seed of destruction gives birth to the light of balance":

"Could it be that the seed of destruction within me is not merely a threat? Perhaps its symbiosis with the protective energy can transform into the 'Light of Balance' at a crucial moment, becoming a key link in unlocking the ultimate balance?"

Elder Starfall's light particles suddenly became denser:

"The most dangerous thing is the 'hidden shadow of the alliance's core, which means that there is a traitor hiding in the core management of the interdimensional alliance. The traitor is likely after the Chaos Reincarnation Disk or the Heart of the Dimension. Once he causes trouble at a critical moment, all our plans will be in vain."

The fusion entity immediately made arrangements: "Elder Starfall, you are responsible for strengthening the security of the alliance core, secretly investigating the energy fluctuations of all elders and high-level envoys, and finding clues about the traitor; Gatekeeper, you and I will split into two groups and go to the elemental dimension and the spiritual dimension respectively to find the dimensional heart; the dimensional heart of the time dimension is the most special, and Kong will lead an elite team there, as his cross-dimensional energy can better deal with the risk of time disorder."

Once the plan was finalized, everyone immediately took action. The fused entity arrived in the elemental dimension via a spatial teleportation channel.

Within this dimension, the energies of the four elements—fire, water, wind, and earth—intertwine to form a magnificent ocean of energy. Four enormous elemental crystal towers stand on the ground, each corresponding to one of the four elemental attributes.

According to the prophetic crystal's energy guidance, the Heart of the Elemental Dimension is hidden in the "Hall of Elemental Balance," which is the location of the energy core of the Elemental Dimension.

"Conscious entities in the elemental dimension are highly vigilant about the existence of external dimensions."

The fused entity released a friendly signal of consciousness and moved closer to the Hall of Elemental Balance.

"I need to prove my purpose and gain their trust, otherwise I will not be able to enter the Hall of Balance."

The guardian of the elemental dimension, "Flame Spirit," suddenly appeared before her. Flame Spirit's body was composed of fire energy, surrounded by scorching fire elements.

"Outsider, why have you intruded into the Elemental Dimension? The Hall of Balance is a sacred place in my dimension, and no external consciousness is allowed to approach it."

The merged entity informed Flame Spirit of the fragments of the balancing prophecy and the purpose of searching for the Heart of Dimensions:

"The Heart of the Elemental Dimension is the key to achieving the ultimate balance of the universe. Once the ultimate balance is achieved, the energy disorder problem of the Elemental Dimension can also be completely resolved, and it will no longer be eroded by chaotic energy. I swear in the name of the Guardian of Balance that after obtaining the Heart of the Dimension, I will never harm any consciousness in the Elemental Dimension."

Flame Spirit remained silent for a moment, then released fire elemental energy to conduct a "sincerity test" on the fusion entity. The blazing flames enveloped the golden phantom of the fusion entity, but were easily neutralized by her will to balance, without causing any damage to the phantom.

“Your will to balance is pure enough, I believe in you.” Flame Spirit led the fusion towards the Hall of Elemental Balance. “But the Heart of Dimension is protected by the ‘Elemental Guardian Array’ and can only be obtained by passing the tests of the four elements: fire, water, wind, and earth.”

Inside the Hall of Balance, the energy of the four elemental crystal towers converges to form a four-colored energy barrier. Floating in the center of the barrier is a colorful crystal, which is the Heart of the Elemental Dimension.

"The first test is the fire element test—resisting the erosion of a fire storm."

The Flame Spirit activated the trial, and suddenly a raging fire broke out in the hall, forming a storm that swept towards the fused entity.

The fused entity released a balancing will, and the twin primal energies transformed into a golden-white barrier, easily resisting the attack of the fire storm.

The subsequent tests of water, wind, and earth elements were also successfully passed, and the fusion body's balancing will was able to perfectly neutralize the impact of various elemental energies.

When the final earth elemental trial ended, the four-colored energy barrier dissipated, and the Heart of the Elemental Dimension fell into the hands of the merged entity. Just as she was about to leave the elemental dimension, an unusual energy fluctuation suddenly occurred within the dimension.

Someone is forcibly destroying the Elemental Crystal Tower in an attempt to cause dimensional energy disorder!

"There's a mole! He's trying to stop us from getting the Heart of Dimensions!"

The fusion entity immediately flew towards the area of ​​abnormal energy and saw a black figure attacking the crystal tower in the distance. The energy fluctuations of the figure contained traces of both the energy of the interdimensional alliance and chaotic energy.

The shadowy figure sensed the arrival of the merged entity, and without lingering in battle, it transformed into a streak of light and escaped through a spatial rift, leaving behind only a broken Alliance Envoy Token.

The merged entity picked up the token, which bore the mark of the Alliance's core envoy:

"This is the token of the core envoy 'Dark Dust'! Dark Dust is the envoy in charge of managing the interdimensional energy warehouse. I never expected him to be the mole!"

She immediately sent a mental signal to Elder Xingyun, informing him of the mole's identity, but found that the signal was being interfered with by an invisible energy and could not be transmitted. The mole had set up a signal shielding device at the core of the alliance!

The gatekeepers of the spiritual dimension are also facing a crisis. The spiritual dimension is a dimension composed of consciousness, and everything within it is shaped by the spiritual power of conscious entities. The "spiritual guardian beasts" here can sense the inner desires of conscious entities and attack their weaknesses with illusions.

While searching for the Heart of the Spiritual Dimension, the gatekeeper was trapped by the illusion of the Spiritual Guardian Beast, in which the illusion repeatedly showed the "fusion being harmed by an internal traitor."

The image of "multidimensional collapse" attempted to shake his will to protect.

"These are all illusions! My will to protect will not waver!"

Suddenly, the Seed of Destruction within the Gatekeeper released a wisp of energy, which merged with the Guardian Energy to form a blade of light interwoven with gold and black, severing the illusion.

Seeing that the illusion was ineffective, the guardian beast transformed into a pale purple consciousness and sent a friendly signal to the gatekeeper:

"Your will is strong enough to meet the criteria for a holder of the Heart of the Spiritual Dimension. The Heart of the Dimension is hidden in the 'Mind Crystal' of the 'Spiritual Sanctuary' and needs to be activated with pure guardianship consciousness."

The gatekeeper followed the spirit guardian beast to the spirit temple, activated the mind crystal, and obtained the Heart of the Spirit Dimension.

He sensed a fragment of a distress signal from the fused entity. Within the fragment, the fused entity was engaged in a fierce battle with the internal traitor, Dark Dust, and was running out of energy, finding itself in a predicament.

Without the slightest hesitation, the gatekeeper immediately used the spatial teleportation channel to speed towards the elemental dimension where the fusion body was located.
