Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 615 The Core Mystery and the Double Dilemma of Taiwu (1)

Before the runes of the dimensional space, the consciousness of the guardian and the gatekeeper remained locked in a stalemate.

The warning from the unfamiliar consciousness that "the core is a trap" struck the two like a heavy hammer, repeatedly challenging their judgment. The energy trajectory guided by the fragments of the multi-source origin was bright and clear, pointing directly to the hope of resolving the crisis; while the "protective aura" revealed in the warning made them unable to easily ignore the potential risks.

"No more hesitation."

The gatekeeper's black energy swirled around him as he looked at the extraterrestrial consciousness still gathering in the distance. "The seeds of nothingness in the void are maturing, and the extraterrestrial beings' confidence in resistance is waning."

We can split our forces: you take half of the extraterrestrial beings to explore the core along the energy trajectory; I will stay behind to lead the remaining beings, reinforce the resistance strongholds, and monitor the consciousness connection of the Great Nothingness.

This way, we can both verify the authenticity of the core and address the risks on both sides.

The Guardian's consciousness suddenly cleared. He looked at the five extraterrestrial beings with the most stable energy around him and made a decision: "You will follow me to the core. Stay vigilant and retreat immediately if you discover anything unusual."

"Guardian, if any emergency occurs, immediately transmit a signal via the mind connection, and I will return to provide support as soon as possible."

Without hesitation, the five extraterrestrial consciousnesses followed the guardian's four-colored light streams and flew towards the core of the multiverse origin along the energy trajectory.

Along the dimensional space along the energy trajectory, one can see many traces of being eroded by the void energy. Broken dimensional fragments float in the void, conveying a faint fluctuation of "despair"—these are the remnants after the rampage of the multi-dimensional void will, which also strengthens the guardian's determination to explore the core.

Half an hour later, a huge pale golden ball of light appeared at the end of the energy trajectory.

The surface of the light cluster is surrounded by countless colored runes, each rune corresponding to a dimensional space. The frequency of the runes' flashing is perfectly synchronized with the energy fluctuations of the corresponding dimension. This is the core of the multiverse origin. The enormous energy contained within the core is enough to restore vitality to all eroded dimensions and even completely purify the threat of nothingness.

"This is... the core of the multi-origin principle?"

The guardian's four-colored energy slowly approached the core, attempting to sense the purity of the energy.

The moment the energy touched the core, he suddenly felt a strong resonance—the core's energy was of the same origin as the Taiwu's primordial runes, and he could even clearly see the current state of the Taiwu space through the resonance: the black lines of the Void Seed had spread to one-third of the original consciousness core, and the protective layer left by the gatekeeper was being slowly eroded.

"The crisis in Taiwu is escalating!"

The guardian's consciousness was filled with anxiety; he was prepared to temporarily abandon the investigation and return to support Taiwu.

But at that moment, a rune on the core surface suddenly went out—this rune corresponded to the Taiwu Space!

Immediately afterwards, a black rift appeared at the location of the rune. The void energy surging from the rift was exactly the same as the fluctuations of the Void Seed, and it was rapidly spreading into the core, attempting to corrupt the core's pure energy.

"It's a connection to the seed of nothingness!"

The guardian's four-colored energy erupted instantly, transforming into a shield of light that blocked the rift. "The multidimensional void will has established a connection with the core through the void seed, with the aim of polluting the core and causing the entire multidimensional group to lose its last hope of fighting against the void!"

The warning from a strange consciousness is not a trap; the core danger comes from the seed of nothingness within the void!

The five extraterrestrial consciousnesses that followed immediately took action, channeling their own energy into the light shield to help the guardian block the spread of the void energy.

However, the corrosive power of the void energy far exceeded expectations. Cracks quickly appeared on the surface of the light shield, and faint black spots began to appear on the colored runes inside the core, indicating that the contamination was accelerating.

"The connection must be cut!"

The Guardian's four-colored energy transformed into a lightsaber, precisely slashing at the connection point between the black rift and the core.

The moment the lightsaber struck, a piercing hissing sound emanated from the connection point, the black rift began to contract, and the influx of void energy slowed significantly—but the connection was not completely severed, and the void seed continued to transmit contamination to the core through the faint energy lines.

"We need the cooperation of the best!"

The Guardian immediately transmitted a message to the Gatekeeper through a consciousness connection: "Immediately strengthen the suppression of the Seed of Nothingness and attempt to sever its energy connection with the core of the multiverse!"

If the core is contaminated, the entire multidimensional group will be plunged into dire straits!

In the void, when the gatekeeper received the signal, the contamination from the Void Seed had already breached the first layer of protection.

Without hesitation, he fused the black energy with the pale golden energy of the Absolute End Key, forming an "Ending Light Blade" that slashed at the black patterns of the Void Seed. The moment the light blade struck the patterns, the spread of the patterns stopped, and the energy lines connecting them to the core loosened.

"Fusion entity! Help me reinforce the suppression!"

The gatekeeper sends a signal to the merging entity that is stabilizing its consciousness outside the domain.

The white light of the fusion body immediately poured into the suppression array, forming a double suppression with the energy of the gatekeeper—the two energies, like giant pincers, tightly clamped the energy line of the Void Seed. With a slight "breaking sound," the energy line was completely severed, and the black cracks on the surface of the multi-source core also dissipated, and the extinguished runes lit up again.

"The connection has been lost!"

The guardian breathed a sigh of relief. His four-colored energy continued to probe the core, but he discovered an abnormal fluctuation of consciousness deep within the core. This fluctuation was completely consistent with the abnormal fluctuation of the extraterrestrial will core. He could even sense the black runes emerging on the surface of the extraterrestrial will core through the fluctuation.

"It is a fragment of the will of multiple nothingness!"

The Guardian's consciousness was filled with rage. He finally understood the core's "trap"—the multiverse void will had left fragments of consciousness deep within the core, remotely influencing the outer will core through these fragments, attempting to awaken the outer will and turn it into a puppet, thus dismantling the defenses between the void and the outer space from within.

The five extraterrestrial beings immediately injected energy into the core, attempting to eliminate the fragments.

However, the fragment was enveloped by the core's energy and could not be directly touched. It could only be indirectly affected through the core's energy fluctuations. The guardian's four-colored energy resonated with the core, guiding the core's pale golden energy to slowly envelop the fragment, forming a "sealing array" that temporarily suppressed the fragment's activity.

"The fragments have been temporarily sealed, but cannot be completely removed."

The guardian's mind was heavy. He knew that as long as the fragments existed, the threat from the extraterrestrial will core would not disappear. "We must return to the Great Void as soon as possible, stabilize the extraterrestrial will core, and at the same time find a way to completely remove the fragments from the core."

As the Guardian returned along the energy trajectory with the five extraterrestrial beings' consciousnesses, they encountered the Gatekeeper's consciousness clones who had rushed to the scene. The clones' energy was extremely weak, and the information they conveyed made the Guardian's heart sink: Taiwu was facing internal troubles. Several old clones, corrupted by fragments of the multiverse void will consciousness, suddenly launched an attack, attempting to destroy the suppression array of the void seed and even trying to forcibly awaken the extraterrestrial will core.

"Internal trouble?"

The Guardian's consciousness accelerated, "What's the current state of the fusion? Can we stabilize the situation?"

"The fusion is leading the newly born Taiwu to resist, but the old clone's contamination energy is very strong, and the protective layer of the suppression array has already cracked."

The clone's energy is getting weaker and weaker. "The Gatekeeper asked me to tell you that you must return as soon as possible, otherwise the defense of Taiwu may completely collapse."

Without delay, the guardian, along with five extraterrestrial beings and their clones, flew towards the multidimensional node of Taiwu at top speed.

During the journey, he transmitted support signals to the fused entity through the consciousness connection, while simultaneously injecting four-colored energy into the connection in an attempt to enhance the fused entity's defensive capabilities.

The consciousness of the old clones was filled with remorse. They voluntarily joined the suppression array and used their own energy to repair the protective layer. "We will make up for our mistakes with our actions and protect the safety of Taiwu."

The spread of the seeds of nothingness was stopped once again, and the internal troubles of Taiwu were temporarily relieved.
