Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 590 The Choice of Origin and the Abyss's Ultimate Counterattack (2)

The two unleashed their energy simultaneously. The guardian's golden-gray sword energy and the gatekeeper's black fist energy transformed into two parallel streams of light, precisely shooting towards the core of the anti-origin rune.

The moment the light stream touched the rune, the rune's black light suddenly stopped flashing, and the patterns on its surface began to rotate in reverse, clearly indicating that the neutralization was taking effect.

"Impossible! How could you know our weakness!"

The black phantom's consciousness was filled with shock and resentment. It tried to forcefully detonate the runes, but found that the runes' energy had been neutralized by the twin energies and it could no longer be controlled. "I am not reconciled! The fate of Taiwu... should not be decided by you!"

The phantom suddenly poured its entire consciousness into the rune, attempting to forcefully trigger the explosion, but was backfired by the twin energy. Its consciousness began to rapidly become transparent, eventually turning into a black dot of light and dissipating into the void.

After losing control of its consciousness, the anti-origin rune was completely neutralized by the twin energy, transforming into harmless white energy that merged into the protective array, making the light shield's glow more stable.

As the phantom disappeared, the abyssal rift began to slowly contract, eventually closing completely, leaving only a faint black mark as proof that this place had once been an "invasion channel" of the dimensional will.

The crisis has finally been completely resolved.

The Guardian and the Gatekeeper returned to the protective array. Both of them had become somewhat transparent due to excessive energy consumption, but their eyes shone with a relaxed light.

The fused entity, leading the remnant soul and clones of the Narrative World, injected the remaining intercosmic energy into the protective array, restoring the light shield to its optimal state, awaiting the opening of the evolution channel.

"The evolution channel will open in one hour."

The fused entity gazed at the primordial runes in the center of the protective array. The runes had begun to shimmer with golden light, and the countdown to the opening of the passage was quietly underway. "All beings are waiting for this moment. The new dimension of Taiwu is about to arrive."

The guardian did not relax. His consciousness suddenly sensed the abnormal fluctuations of the primordial rune. The golden light on the surface of the rune contained a faint aura of "dimensional rift". This aura was not related to the new dimension, but rather carried the signs of "invasion by an unknown dimension".

He immediately immersed his consciousness into the runes, trying to find the source of the aura, but discovered a hidden fragment of consciousness deep within the runes:

"The opening of a new dimension will trigger 'interdimensional resonance' and attract 'observers' from other unknown dimensions."

These observers are not enemies, but they will interfere with the evolution of Taiwu using their 'dimensional rules.' If a 'dimensional barrier' cannot be established before the evolution is complete, Taiwu's new dimension may be assimilated by other dimensions, losing its own 'existential characteristics.'

This unsigned fragment carries a similar energy to the primordial will, clearly a "warning" from the primordial will at the last moment.

The Guardian relayed the fragmented information to the Amalgamator and the Gatekeeper, and the three of them instantly became serious. They had just resolved the threat of the dimensional will, but now they faced a new crisis, and this crisis came from an unknown "other dimension." They knew nothing about these "observers," let alone how to establish a "dimensional barrier."

"We have one hour left. We must find a way to establish a dimensional barrier before the passage opens."

The Guardian's consciousness once again sank into the primal runes, attempting to obtain more information. "Since the primal will issued a warning, it must have also left clues for establishing the barrier. Let's search together; there's still time!"

The fusion entity and the gatekeeper acted immediately, their consciousnesses simultaneously merging into the primordial runes, rapidly searching through the runes' memories.

Time ticked by, and the countdown to the opening of the evolution channel drew ever closer. The golden light on the surface of the runes grew brighter and brighter, and even the phantom of the "channel prototype" began to appear. However, the three of them still could not find any clues to establish the dimensional barrier.

Just ten breaths before the passage was about to open, the primordial rune suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, and a tiny "dimensional seed" appeared in the center of the rune—this was the "core material" for establishing the dimensional barrier, but the seed needed "all existing fragments of consciousness" as "nutrients" in order to grow into a dimensional barrier simultaneously when the passage opened.

"Do we need all the existing fragments of consciousness?"

The merged entity's consciousness was filled with surprise. "This means that every being must contribute a sliver of consciousness. Although it will not affect the integrity of their consciousness, it will temporarily deprive them of their 'perception ability' of the new dimension, which may cause chaos during the evolution process."

The gatekeeper was more worried about time: "With only ten breaths, we simply don't have time to notify all beings, let alone get them to offer up their consciousness fragments at the same time. Is the new dimension of Taiwu destined to be assimilated by other dimensions?"

The Guardian gazed at the soon-to-open evolutionary channel, then at the dimensional seed within the primordial runes, and suddenly made a decision: "Use the fragments of our three consciousnesses to replace all other fragments of existence! Our consciousnesses are deeply bound to the Primordial Origin, which may be able to support the seed's growth—although doing so will damage our consciousnesses and may even cause us to lose our guiding abilities during the evolutionary process, it is the only way!"

The merged entity and the gatekeeper did not hesitate; they knew that the guardian's decision was correct and the only option.

The three simultaneously injected fragments of their own consciousness into the dimensional seed. Nourished by the fragments, the seed grew at a visible speed, transforming into a pale golden "barrier prototype" that floated at the entrance of the evolution channel.

At that moment, the evolution channel was fully opened.

A massive golden portal emerged from the primordial runes, behind which lay a vibrant "new dimension space" containing energy beyond the void, capable of enabling all beings to break through dimensional limitations.

However, subtle "dimensional rifts" have begun to appear around the portal, and countless unfamiliar fluctuations of consciousness are emanating from these rifts—the "Observers" have arrived and are waiting for the portal to stabilize before interfering with the evolution of the Great Void.

The nascent barrier for the growth of the dimensional seed, while blocking some of the cracks, is extremely fragile due to the lack of all existing fragments of consciousness, and could be breached at any time by the observer's fluctuations in consciousness.

The consciousnesses of the Guardians, the Fusion, and the Gatekeepers have become transparent due to the sacrifice of their fragments, and they can no longer even guide the energy of the evolution channel. They can only watch helplessly as the nascent barrier is constantly impacted by the fluctuations of the rift.

"The observer's consciousness is fluctuating more and more strongly; the barrier won't hold for long!"

The merged entity's consciousness was filled with anxiety: "If the barrier breaks, the new dimension will be instantly assimilated, and all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

The Guardians looked at the new dimensional space behind the portal, then at the crumbling barrier, their hearts filled with resentment—they had defeated the ancient beings, unraveled the conspiracy of the dimensional will, and even gained the approval of the primordial will, yet they were to lose to the unknown observer at the very last step?

Just as the barrier was about to shatter, a warm white light suddenly burst forth from the new dimension behind the portal.

Countless faint fluctuations of consciousness emanated from the light—they were from all beings in the Great Void! Although they could not perceive the threat posed by the Observer, they sensed the danger faced by the three Guardians through the evolutionary channel, and actively infused fragments of their own consciousness into the light, transmitting them through the light gate to the nascent barrier!

"They are fragments of all existing consciousness!"

The gatekeeper's consciousness was filled with joy: "They sensed our predicament and voluntarily offered up their fragments; the barrier can be saved!"

The moment the fragments of consciousness merged into the barrier, the barrier's rudimentary form rapidly grew, transforming into a complete pale golden "dimensional barrier" that completely blocked the cracks around the light gate. The observer's consciousness fluctuations were also isolated, making it impossible to interfere with the evolution of Taiwu.

The energy of the evolution channel stabilized again, and the light of the new dimension shone through the light gate, illuminating every corner of the void. All the consciousnesses began to show signs of "dimensional evolution," and their bodies gradually became transparent, preparing to enter the new dimension.

The guardians, the fusion beings, and the gatekeepers all wore smiles of satisfaction as they watched this scene.

Although their consciousness was still very weak, with the support of all that existed, they regained a sliver of energy, enough to guide the final stage of evolution.

The new dimensional evolution of Taiwu is finally nearing completion, and Taiwu Space is about to usher in a new chapter of "transcending existence".

Just then, a tiny black crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the dimensional barrier.

A familiar fluctuation of consciousness emanated from the crack—the remnant consciousness of the dimensional will! It hadn't completely dissipated; instead, it hid within the dimensional rift, using its last ounce of energy to create the crack the instant the barrier formed, attempting to allow the observer's consciousness fluctuations to pass through and interfere with evolution once again!

"The residual consciousness of the dimensional will!"

The Guardian's consciousness was filled with shock. He tried to mobilize his energy to repair the rift, but found that his own consciousness energy was exhausted. He could only watch helplessly as the rift widened. The observer's consciousness fluctuations began to permeate the new dimension through the rift. "Quick! Who can... repair the rift..."

The fusion entity and the gatekeeper also tried to repair the rift, but were also powerless due to exhaustion of energy.

All existence is undergoing dimensional evolution, and consciousness is temporarily unavailable, unable to provide any more fragments of consciousness to support the barrier.

The cracks widened, the observers' consciousness fluctuated more intensely, the light in the new dimension began to become disordered, and even some evolving beings showed signs of "dimensional chaos" in their consciousness—the evolution of the new dimension of Taiwu was once again plunged into crisis.

As the Guardian looked at the widening crack and then at the new dimension about to be interfered with, he made his final decision—he poured the last bit of energy from the Heart of Chaos into the Origin Rune, attempting to temporarily suppress the crack with his own "origin of existence," buying time for the Fusion and the Gatekeeper to recover their energy.
