Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 696 The Prologue to the End of Reincarnation and the Mystery of the Path to Balance (1)

Beneath the balanced celestial canopy of the land of origin of chaos, the golden phantom of the fused entity floats between the primordial core of the universe and the Chaos Primordial Stone.

The golden light net formed by the two core energies is repairing the last spatial damage of the multidimensional group at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The elders of the interdimensional alliance sat around the altar, discussing the path to achieving "ultimate balance" with solemn expressions.

"According to the records of the transdimensional archives, the ultimate balance is not a balance of a single dimension, but an 'energy resonance balance' of all adjacent dimensions."

The light particles of the Alliance Elder shimmered with ancient patterns. “We need to unite consciousness from all dimensions to build a ‘cross-dimensional balance alliance’ and share energy fluctuation data in order to find the critical point of resonance.”

The consciousness of the merged entity is deeply connected to the core, sensing the cycle time limit ten thousand years from now: "Ten thousand years seems long, but it is actually short."

The multidimensional group currently has thirty-seven dimensions, each with a completely different energy system. To achieve resonance and balance, it would take at least five thousand years of adjustment.

We must act now and advance the alliance's construction in phases.

Kong volunteered to lead a team of cross-dimensional envoys to various dimensions to lobby:

"I will prioritize visiting dimensions with energy systems similar to ours, and strive to complete the gathering of the first batch of alliance members within three years."

The remaining dimensions will be the responsibility of other envoys, ensuring full dimensional coverage is achieved within ten years.

Just as the plan was progressing steadily, an emergency signal came from the core of the multi-source origin.

The remnant soul of the Star Core consciousness discovered that the "Forgotten Dimension" at the edge of the multidimensional group suddenly showed abnormal energy fluctuations. This dimension had long been abandoned and neglected due to being eroded by chaotic energy over the years, but now it was frequently sending out signals of "consciousness awakening".

"Within the energy fluctuations of the forgotten dimension, there are remnants of the gatekeeper's consciousness!"

The golden phantom of the fusion instantly became excited, and she immediately retrieved the coordinates of that dimension.

"There are also remnants of the initial void consciousness fluctuating. The two remnants have actually formed a 'symbiotic resonance' in the dimension of oblivion. This is incredible!"

The Grand Elder of the Alliance's light particle form suddenly became alert:

"Symbiotic resonance is a special fusion of creating and protecting energy. Although rare, it contains enormous risks."

The destructive properties of the initial ethereal remnants may gradually devour the guardian's protective consciousness, eventually forming a new 'Destructive Guardian Body' with power far exceeding the original eroding body.

Without the slightest hesitation, the merged entity said, "I must go and see the forgotten dimension."

The gatekeeper sacrificed himself to protect the universe; I cannot allow his consciousness to be consumed by the destructive force and become a new threat.

Even if there are risks, I will try to awaken his sense of self.

Kong, accompanied by three elite envoys, and the group traveled through a spatial teleportation channel to the edge of the Forgotten Dimension.

Within the dimension, hazy chaotic energy intertwines with pale creative energy, forming a distorted energy turbulence.

On the ground, countless fragmented streams of consciousness floated and sank in the turbulent currents. These were the consciousnesses trapped in the forgotten dimension. Their consciousnesses had long since become blurred, retaining only the most primitive survival instincts.

"The remnants of the gatekeeper's consciousness are inside the 'Memory Crystal Tower' at the center of the dimension!"

The fusion entity released a probe filament, accurately locating the target position. "However, the crystal tower is surrounded by a 'chaotic memory fog,' which will tamper with the consciousness's memories, trapping it in an eternal illusion of memories."

The void released transdimensional energy, constructing a "memory shield" around everyone:

"This barrier can temporarily resist the erosion of the memory fog, but it can only last for half an hour."

We must find the remaining thread of the gatekeeper within half an hour and awaken his consciousness.

The group navigated through the turbulent energy flow and arrived at the memory crystal tower.

The tower soared into the clouds, its surface covered with blurred memory runes, each rune playing out the once-prosperous scenes of the forgotten dimension.

This place was once one of the most developed dimensions in the multidimensional group, but it collapsed and became a wasteland due to excessive research into chaotic energy.

Inside the tower, two intertwined filaments of light floated in the center. The pale golden remnant of the gatekeeper and the grayish-white remnant of the primordial nothingness were intertwined. The golden part was being eroded by the grayish-white at an extremely slow speed, but it still stubbornly shone with the light of the protective energy.

The surrounding fog of memories surged toward the light filaments, attempting to completely envelop them.

"Balance your will, awaken it!"

The fusion entity injected the twin primordial energy into the probe filament, which transformed into a golden-white stream of light that struck the symbiotic node of the two remaining filaments.

The remaining threads trembled violently, and the guardian's voice came intermittently: "Fusion...fusion...don't...don't come closer...I...can't control...destructive energy..."

The initial wisp of nothingness seemed to be enraged, its grayish-white energy surging as it attacked the fused entity.

Kong immediately led the messengers to release interdimensional energy, constructing an energy cage to temporarily trap the remaining threads:

"Fusion entity, quickly use the creative energy of the primordial core of the universe to purify the destructive properties of the remaining threads!"

We can only hold out for ten minutes at most. After ten minutes, the energy cage will be destroyed and corroded by energy!

The fusion entity infused the seven-colored energy of the universe's primordial core into the remaining threads, creating a resonance between the energy and the guardian's protective energy. The pale golden light gradually suppressed the grayish-white destructive energy.

The initial wisp of nothingness let out a painful roar, yet it still refused to give up, attempting to continue devouring the gatekeeper's consciousness.

"Goalkeeper, remember our oath! Remember the teammates who sacrificed themselves to maintain balance!"

The merged entity's voice was filled with emotion: "Your will to protect is stronger than the destructive energy. Don't let it control you, wake up! We still need you, the multidimensional sphere still needs you!"

Suddenly, the remnant of the gatekeeper burst forth with a strong golden light. The protective energy instantly devoured the destructive attribute of the initial void remnant. The two remnants separated—the grayish-white remnant transformed into a stream of light and flew out of the dimension, clearly afraid of being completely purified.

The pale golden wisps gradually coalesced, forming a blurry phantom image of the gatekeeper's consciousness.

"I...I'm back..."

The gatekeeper's illusory consciousness, though weary, remained resolute. "Thank you, fusion entity. It was your protective will that awakened me."

Although the initial wisp of nothingness escaped, its destructive energy has left a 'seed' within me, which may lead to future mutations.

Before everyone could celebrate, the light from the memory shield suddenly flickered violently, and the half-hour time limit had expired.

The fog of memory began to erode the barrier, and the memory runes within the tower went berserk, releasing distorted illusory energy.

"Evacuate immediately! The memory fog is about to erupt completely!"

Kong led the group, protecting the gatekeeper's illusory consciousness, and quickly flew out of the dimension.
