Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 865 Backlash from the Origin (1)

A stream of purple light, carrying the terrifying aura of dimensional collapse, grazed past the illusory image of the fused entity, exploding into a bottomless dimensional rift at the edge of the hyper-multiverse. The chaotic energy surging from the rift instantly tore apart nebulae several light-years away, and countless planets disintegrated under gravitational distortion, turning into dust.

The fused entity staggered backward, its five-colored light dimming considerably. She could clearly sense that the purple figure's power had long surpassed the scope of the "laws of the universe," and with each breath it was devouring the surrounding dimensional energy, the origin of the hyper-multiverse was being lost at a visible rate.

"Who exactly are you? Why are you attacking our universe?" The Lord of the Stars, despite his injuries, re-condensed the Star Blade in his palm, his tone filled with determination.

A purple figure landed slowly, runes swirling on his purple-gold armor, his blurred face appearing and disappearing in the light. He swept his gaze across the ravaged battlefield, his voice carrying a chilling indifference that pierced the soul: "My name is Zi Yuan, Dimensional Overseer. The Hyper-Multiverse has broken the boundaries of the Ancient Covenant, touching upon dimensional taboos. I have come today to execute dimensional judgment."

"Dimensional Judgment? Ancient Covenant?" The Ancient Creator's expression changed drastically as he struggled to sit up. "The 'dimensional taboos' recorded in ancient texts, could they refer to... the primordial evolution of the hyper-multiverse?"

“Exactly.” Zi Yuan nodded slightly, the purple energy around him growing stronger. “In ancient times, the various dimensional universes reached an alliance not to excessively catalyze the evolution of their origins, otherwise it would trigger a chain reaction of dimensional collapse. But you have not only integrated multiple origins such as balance, nothingness, and annihilation, but also awakened the light of origin, which has already exceeded the bottom line of the alliance.”

The Lord of Spiritual Essence frowned: "But we have never broken any alliance! All our evolutions are for the purpose of resisting external enemies and protecting our homeland!"

"An alliance is an alliance, regardless of any reason." Zi Yuan's tone was icy as he raised his hand and conjured a purple spear of light. "Today, I will strip away the core origin of the super-multiverse and return it to its original state as a warning to others."

The moment the spear of light took shape, the surrounding spacetime froze completely. Yan Jin roared and channeled his life force, causing green vines to grow wildly and try to entwine the spear of light, only to turn to ashes the instant they touched the purple energy. Cang Lan tried to teleport away with the last bit of his spacetime power, but found his body firmly bound, unable to move even his fingertips.

"The gap is too big..." Blood spilled from Canglan's lips, and despair appeared in his eyes for the first time. This was not a difference in strength, but a crushing defeat on a dimensional level. All their methods seemed utterly insignificant in front of Ziyuan.

The fused entity took a deep breath, completely fusing the power of the Origin Light and the Symbiotic Treasure, and the six-colored light surged once more: "Even if you are a Dimensional Overseer, you cannot trample on everything we protect! The fate of the Hyper-Multiverse is in our own hands!"

Six-colored light blades coalesced, carrying the power of faith from all living beings, and slashed towards Zi Yuan. This strike gathered all the hope of the entire multiverse; wherever the light blades passed, cracks appeared in the solidified spacetime, and the lost primordial power was temporarily forcibly pulled back.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zi Yuan's eyes, but he quickly regained his indifference: "Interesting. It actually managed to break through my dimensional barrier. Unfortunately, it was all for naught."

He raised his hand and waved, a purple dimensional wall blocking his way. The six-colored light blade struck the wall, unleashing a deafening roar. Only a small crack appeared in the purple dimensional wall, while the six-colored light blade instantly disintegrated. The fused body was blasted away by the aftershock, spitting out a mouthful of golden blood into the void.

Zi Yuan pressed forward relentlessly, his purple energy surging like a tide, completely surrounding the fused beings: "Give up the resistance, and I can spare your lives, allowing you to become guardians of the primordial universe."

"Don't even think about it!" The fused entity struggled to its feet, six-colored light re-condensing in its palm. "As long as we have a breath left, we will never let you harm the Hyper-Multiverse!"

The Ancient Creator suddenly shouted: "Fusion body, use the Light of Origin to communicate with the ancient altar of the multiverse! Ancient texts record that the altar contains the original copy of the covenant signed between the ancient creator and the dimensional observer. Perhaps we can find evidence to refute him!"

The merged entity's mind stirred, and it immediately mobilized the power of the Origin Light, flying towards the core region of the Hyper-Multiverse. There, an altar constructed of ancient runes floated in the nebula, the very ancient altar spoken of by the Primordial Creator.

Zi Yuan frowned slightly but did not stop him, seemingly convinced that the fusion could not change the outcome. The purple energy around him surged again, and he began to forcibly strip away the origin of the super-multiverse. Countless golden streams of origin light poured out from various universes and converged on his palm.

The power of the Light of Origin fell upon the ancient altar, instantly unleashing a golden glow. Countless ancient runes swirled in the air, eventually converging into an ancient image of a covenant. In the image, the ancient creator signed a covenant with a dimensional observer clad in purple armor. The core content was: "Each dimensional universe can evolve autonomously. Dimensional observers will only intervene when the evolution of a universe causes dimensional collapse, and must not interfere without cause."

"Just as I thought!" A glint flashed in the fused entity's eyes. "Zi Yuan, you're not carrying out any dimensional judgment at all! You're abusing your power, trying to plunder the origin of the super-multiverse!"

Zi Yuan's expression changed slightly, then he snorted coldly: "It's no use in trying to argue! Your evolution has already caused dimensional fluctuations, and everything I have done is a reasonable judgment."

"A reasonable judgment?" An aged voice suddenly came from the altar, and the phantom of an ancient creator clad in golden armor slowly appeared. "Zi Yuan, you have violated the original intention of the covenant, and you still dare to argue?"

"An ancient remnant of creation?" A hint of apprehension flashed in Zi Yuan's eyes. "I didn't expect that after so long, you could still retain your consciousness."

"I have been upholding this covenant to prevent people like you from abusing your power," said the phantom of the ancient creator. "The primal evolution of the hyper-multiverse did not cause dimensional collapse. Your so-called 'judgment' is nothing more than an excuse to plunder the origin and enhance your own power!"

The image suddenly shifted, revealing Zi Yuan secretly absorbing the essence of other dimensions. It turned out that Zi Yuan had long since betrayed his duty as a dimensional observer, using "judgment" as a pretext for years to plunder various dimensional universes that had evolved to a certain stage, converting their essence into his own power.

"You're talking nonsense!" Zi Yuan was enraged, his purple energy surging as he attacked the phantom of the ancient creator. "Today, I will not only plunder the origin of the super-multiverse, but also completely erase your existence!"
