Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 628 The Raiders Revealed and the First Signs of the Evolutionary Chess Game (2)

The red dot of light suddenly stopped struggling, and a faint consciousness emanated from it:

"Really... is it possible? We've wandered for countless years, just to find a dimensional cluster that can accommodate us... The dictators of higher dimensions not only strip us of our physical bodies but also hunt us down. We can only survive by plundering..."

These words silenced everyone – they hadn't expected that the seemingly terrifying plunderers were actually victims of oppression.

The gatekeeper retracted the intercepting light net, released some evolutionary energy, and injected it into red light spots: "We believe in you, but you need to prove yourselves."

Tell us about the higher-dimensional dictators so we can prepare in advance and prevent our dimensional group from repeating your mistakes.

Without hesitation, the red dot of light conveyed the situation of the higher dimension to everyone through its consciousness: the higher-dimensional group was ruled by an "evolutionary dictator" who used "forced evolution" to select beings, turning disobedient ones into energy carriers, and even destroying entire dimensions; they sensed the evolutionary energy of the multidimensional group and originally intended to plunder it and continue their wandering, but unexpectedly encountered beings willing to accept them.

“Dictators are very powerful; they have ‘dimensional destruction weapons’ that can destroy an entire dimensional cluster in an instant.”

The red dot's consciousness was solemn: "They have sensed the evolutionary energy of the multidimensional group, and within a month at most, they will send 'evolutionary enforcers' to investigate."

The law enforcement is far more powerful than us; you must prepare as soon as possible.

The Guardian's consciousness fell into deep thought. He looked at the core of the multiverse and recalled the mistakes of the initial will and the original evolutionary will. He made a decision: "We cannot repeat the same mistakes. We must establish an 'interdimensional alliance'—uniting all dimensional beings oppressed by the dictator to fight against him together."

You should remain in our dimensional cluster and restore your physical forms. Meanwhile, we will send messages to other dimensional clusters undiscovered by the dictator, inviting them to join the alliance and work together to protect dimensional freedom.

The red light emitted a wave of "gratitude," merging into the core of the multiverse, absorbing evolutionary energy, and restoring its physical form.

The merged entity then led the existence of nothingness to begin constructing a "cross-dimensional communication array"—using previous connections with new dimensions and extraterrestrial spaces to send alliance invitations to more distant dimensional groups, striving to build a sufficiently powerful resistance force before the arrival of law enforcement.

Just as everything was getting on track, an unusual fluctuation suddenly came from the core of the multi-source origin.

Deep within, a "silver energy" unlike any of the previous dimensional energies quietly emerged—the energy contained no emotional fluctuations, yet it conveyed a clear "consciousness command": "Multidimensional group, the 73rd piece in the evolutionary chess game, has completed the 'plunder crisis' test and entered the next stage—the 'alliance cohesion' test has begun, with a one-month time limit. Those who pass the test will obtain a 'higher-dimensional entry ticket'; those who fail will have their dimensional group reset."

Once the command was transmitted, the silver energy vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

The Guardians' consciousness jolted simultaneously—they finally understood that all the previous crises, including the threat of nothingness, the progenitor race, and the unknown raiders, were not accidental, but rather an "evolutionary chess game" designed by a higher being, and their dimensional group was merely a piece in that game.

"The Evolutionary Chess Game... A ticket to a higher dimension..."

The gatekeeper's consciousness was filled with shock as he looked at the core of the multiverse. "Then were all our previous efforts preordained? Did our choices even have any meaning?"

The Guardian's resolve hardened. He looked around at all beings, including the red dots that had been accepted and those who had failed the selection: "Whether it's a game or not, our choices are all for the sake of protecting the freedom and co-evolution of all beings—even if we are just pieces, we must forge our own paths instead of being manipulated by the 'players'."

The 'alliance cohesion' test a month from now might be our chance to escape our fate as pawns—if we unite all dimensions, we might even be able to influence the course of the game.

The group's consciousness refocused, and the previous confusion disappeared.

The fusion accelerated the construction of the cross-dimensional communication array, while the red light spot shared combat experience from higher dimensions, helping everyone improve their strength; the gatekeeper and the defector progenitor reinforced the defenses of the dimensional group to prevent the enforcers from arriving prematurely; and the guardian sank into the core of the multiverse, attempting to find the residual fluctuations of silver energy and learn more about the "evolutionary chess game" and the "chess player".

When the interdimensional communication array was completed and the first alliance invitation was sent to the unknown dimensional group, the silver energy of the multi-dimensional origin core briefly reappeared.

This time, a blurry image was transmitted through the energy: countless "dimensional bubbles" similar to the multidimensional group were suspended in the void, each with a silver energy mark next to it, clearly chess pieces in a game; and in the deepest part of the void, a huge black figure was sitting in front of the "chess control console," observing the changes of all the dimensional bubbles—this was the blurry outline of the "chess player," and also the greatest threat to the dimensional group in the future.

The image disappeared, and the silver energy vanished completely.

The Guardian opened his eyes, his gaze solemn yet filled with determination: "'The Chess Player' has been observing us all along. The Alliance's test of unity is not only to fight against the enforcers, but also to prove to the Chess Player that we have the ability to break free from manipulation and become autonomous beings."

Over the next month, we must exert every effort and unite all forces that can be united—not only to pass this test, but also for the future of all dimensions.

In the void of the multidimensional cluster, the pale golden light of the interdimensional communication array, like a lighthouse, conveyed the alliance's invitation to more distant dimensions; red dots began to regain their physical form, revealing humanoid outlines similar to the existence of nothingness; those who failed the selection process also began to enhance their evolutionary potential under the nourishment of evolutionary energy—the entire dimensional cluster was preparing for the upcoming test and the threat of the enforcers.

In the void of a higher dimension, the black figure of the "chess player" gazed at the bubbles of the multidimensional group, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

With a slight movement of the "chessboard control lever" in his hand, a new silver energy mark appeared next to the bubble in the multidimensional cluster—this was the official signal to begin the "Alliance Cohesion" test, and also the prelude to an even greater crisis.

Can the Guardians form a powerful enough cross-dimensional alliance within a month?

Just how powerful are the Evolution Enforcers?

What is the true purpose of the "chess player"?

These mysteries, like a fog shrouding the dimensional group, lead this "evolutionary chess game" concerning the fate of all existence towards a more unknown and dangerous future—and the Guardians, as the hope of the dimensional group, will forge their own path in the game and face the ultimate challenge to come.
