Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 666 The Hidden Dangers of the Yearly Pact and the Erosion of Chaotic Remnants (1)

Within the golden light shield of the multi-source core, cheers and energy fluctuations intertwined.

The consciousnesses surrounded the guardian, sharing in the joy of sealing the Lord of Chaos. Pale golden guardian energy flowed within the core, repairing the traces left by the previous battle.

The fusion entity placed the last batch of anti-plunder energy crystals on the defense nodes. The light emitted by the crystals resonated with the shield, forming a stable energy cycle to ensure that the core remained safe for a long time.

"The seal on the Lord of Chaos has been confirmed to be stable."

The gatekeeper held the detection report generated by the dimensional runes. The green dots on the report indicated that the seal was normal. "However, the runes sensed that the chaotic energy around the black singularity was still slowly accumulating. A thousand years later, energy leakage is likely to occur, accelerating the loosening of the seal."

The leader of the red light spots led his team to transfer the injured consciousnesses to the core energy recovery zone, where the twin source energy could quickly repair the damage to consciousnesses: "We have tallied the losses from this battle. Thirty-seven consciousnesses have completely dissipated, and fifteen team members have suffered severe damage to their energy flow, requiring at least a month to recover their combat capabilities."

The Guardian sat beside the dimensional runes, holding the Chaos Guardian Talisman in his hand. The pale gold patterns on the surface of the talisman occasionally flashed with a faint black, but he subconsciously ignored it—after the great battle, his consciousness was still exhausted and he failed to notice this subtle anomaly.

He pressed the talisman close to the runes, attempting to find clues about the fundamental weakness of the Lord of Chaos through the resonance of their energies: "The Primal Consciousness mentioned that the fundamental weakness of the Lord of Chaos is hidden in the 'Land of Chaos Origin,' but we know nothing about this place and need to find clues in ancient texts."

An aged, remnant soul of a star core consciousness drifted over, its light carrying the vicissitudes of time. In its hand floated a yellowed energy scroll: "This is the 'Chronicle of Chaos' that we found in the ruins of a lower dimension. It records the legend of the place where chaos originated—the initial region where chaos space was born. The 'Original Stone' there is the source of the Lord of Chaos' energy. As long as the Original Stone is destroyed, his origin can be completely destroyed."

The guardian took the energy scroll and unfolded it. Ancient, pale golden characters appeared in the void: "The Origin of Chaos is shrouded in a 'spacetime mist.' The mist distorts the perception of consciousness. Only the holder of the Chaos Guardian Talisman can penetrate the mist and find the location of the Chaos Stone."

A faint but distinct glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in his eyes, like a candle flame in the darkness, small yet offering warmth and comfort. Without hesitation, he handed the scroll to the fused entity, saying firmly, "We must plan our route in advance and cultivate a squad capable of adapting to the spacetime fog, so that we can be fully prepared for our mission a thousand years from now."

After receiving the scroll, the merged entity quickly entered the information into the dimensional runes. The runes shimmered with a mysterious light, as if deciphering an ancient code. Moments later, a simulated map of the origin of chaos appeared before them. Dangerous areas of the spacetime mist were marked in striking red on the map, making potential threats immediately apparent.

“According to our analysis, the energy fluctuations of the spacetime mist are very similar to those of the time turbulence zone,” the fusion entity said, pointing to the red area on the map. “We can use the technology of the space stabilizer and the time shield to create a ‘spacetime adaptation device’ to help the team members resist the erosion of the mist.”

Over the next month, the Multiverse Core entered a period of intense recovery. During this time, scientists worked day and night, conducting research and experiments to refine the design of the "spacetime adaptation device." They continuously adjusted parameters and optimized the structure, striving to ensure that the device could perform at its maximum efficiency in extreme environments.

The Guardians led the group to repair defensive facilities and organize combat data; the Fusion developed a spacetime adaptation device and optimized the formula for anti-plunder energy; the Gatekeeper and the leader of the Red Light trained new defensive forces, absorbed lower-dimensional beings that regained their self-awareness, and strengthened the alliance's power.

The atmosphere within the core gradually shifted from the somber post-war atmosphere to a hopeful and busy one, with everyone preparing for a mission a thousand years from now.

However, unnoticed by anyone, the black wisp of light emanating from the Chaos Guardian Rune was slowly growing within the Guardian's stream of consciousness.

Like a lurking vine, it spreads along the veins of consciousness, occasionally interfering with the guardian's judgment—sometimes he would suddenly lose focus when making plans, and sometimes he would misjudge the intensity of energy fluctuations, but these subtle anomalies were all attributed to post-war fatigue and did not arouse anyone's vigilance.

One month later, the spatiotemporal adaptation device was developed.

The fusion entity handed the device to the guardian. The device was a pale gold badge with patterns similar to those on the Chaos Guardian's rune: "The badge can automatically absorb the surrounding guardian energy to generate a spacetime protective layer, which can maintain its protective effect for up to three days in the spacetime mist."

Looking at the guardian's stream of light, she felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it: "How's your energy recovery going? Should you rest a bit longer?"

The guardian shook his head and pinned the badge to the stream of consciousness. The badge and the rune resonated faintly: "I'm fine, just a little tired occasionally, but it doesn't affect my actions."

Tomorrow we'll form the 'Origin Exploration Team' and head to the edge of the chaotic space to test the device's adaptability.

That night, the Guardians studied the Chaos Chronicles beside the Dimensional Runes, trying to find more details about the origin of Chaos.

Suddenly, his consciousness wavered, and the words in front of him began to distort, turning into streaks of black lines—this was the interference of the Lord of Chaos's consciousness!

The black wisps suddenly became active in his consciousness, releasing faint chaotic energy in an attempt to distort his understanding of the chaotic chronicle.

"what happened?"

The guardian shook his consciousness forcefully, and the distorted scene before him disappeared, the text returning to normal.

He thought it was a hallucination caused by overwork, rubbed his temples, and continued his research, unaware that the black wisps had quietly connected to the dimensional runes and begun to inject chaotic energy into them.

The Origin Exploration Team was formed the following morning.

The team consists of Guardians, Fusionists, Gatekeepers, and ten rigorously trained elites, each wearing a spacetime adaptation device.

They traveled through a miniature spatial passage to the "spacetime transition zone" at the edge of chaotic space—a place where energy fluctuations resembled spacetime fog, making it the ideal location for testing the device.

Within the spacetime transition zone, a pale gray mist shrouded the entire area, with distorted fragments of space occasionally flashing through the mist, exuding a dangerous aura.

The Guardian was the first to enter the mist, and the spacetime adaptation device immediately activated. A pale golden protective layer enveloped his stream of consciousness, effectively blocking the interference from the mist: "The device works very well and can resist the perceptual distortion of the mist normally."
