Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 600 Core Mysteries and the Dual Crisis of Taiwu (1)

Before the runes of the dimensional space, the streams of consciousness of the guardians and gatekeepers stagnated.

The message from the stranger's consciousness that "the core is a trap" weighed heavily on their hearts like a boulder.

The energy trajectory guided by the fragments of the multiverse was as clear and bright as the brightest star in the night sky, seemingly telling them that "hope to resolve the crisis" was just ahead. However, in stark contrast to this hopeful energy trajectory was a warning from unfamiliar information. This warning, like a thunderclap, exploded in their ears, suggesting that the direction they were pursuing might be a "trap of no return."

These two completely contradictory signals have plunged them into an unprecedentedly difficult choice. Which one should they believe? Should they follow the seemingly hopeful energy trajectory, or heed the chilling warning and abandon this path?

Just as everyone hesitated, the gatekeeper's consciousness broke the silence. His voice resounded in everyone's minds, carrying an undeniable firmness: "We cannot easily abandon the core."

The gatekeeper's consciousness stared at the bright energy trajectory, but the crisis in the Primordial Space involuntarily came to mind. The Seed of Nothingness in the Primordial Space was gradually maturing, and the core of the extraterrestrial will was also showing abnormalities. Time was of the essence; they had no more time to find other methods.

The fragments of the multiple origins were left behind by the 0th generation observers; their guidance must have a basis. The unfamiliar information might be a trick by the will of the multiple void, intended to delay our progress.

The guardian did not immediately agree; his consciousness once again sank into the runes, trying to capture the residual fluctuations of that unfamiliar consciousness.

The fluctuations lacked the corrosive nature of nihilistic energy; instead, they carried a warm aura of "protection," bearing a slight resemblance to the consciousness fluctuations of the first guardian—this consciousness was most likely not a disguise of the multiverse's nihilistic will, but rather a being genuinely concerned with the safety of dimensions.

"This fluctuation of unfamiliar consciousness is unusually pure, without the slightest impurity, and doesn't seem like some kind of trick at all." The Guardian's consciousness was filled with vigilance, carefully analyzing the characteristics of this fluctuation, not letting go of any detail.

However, despite this, it did not easily lower its guard. After all, in this multi-dimensional world full of unknowns and dangers, any negligence could lead to catastrophic consequences.

“Although this fluctuation seems pure, we absolutely cannot take this warning at face value,” the Guardian continued. “The core may indeed be facing some kind of danger, but at the same time, it may also contain key clues to resolving the current crisis.”

After a moment's thought, the gatekeeper nodded in agreement. It also believed that it was premature to draw conclusions about this strange fluctuation of consciousness without further evidence.

“Then let’s follow the energy path first, while remaining highly vigilant,” the Guardian suggested. “If we discover anything unusual, we must retreat immediately and not take any risks. In this way, we will not give up hope of finding a solution to the crisis, but we can also effectively avoid potential risks.”

The gatekeeper nodded again, indicating his agreement with the plan. Then, their consciousness streams, like two bright bolts of lightning, followed the energy trajectory and slowly flew into the depths of the multidimensional group.

The energy trajectory resembled a pale golden ribbon, weaving through intersecting dimensional channels. Along the way, one could see many abandoned dimensions eroded by the void energy. The spatial structures of these dimensions were shattered, leaving only scattered fragments of consciousness floating in the void, conveying waves of despair.

"These dimensions... were all devoured by the will of the multiverse!" The gatekeeper's consciousness seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure, revealing an indescribable heaviness. He stared at the shattered fragments of dimensions, as if he could feel the endless pain and despair contained within them.

"If we cannot successfully stop the will of the multiverse, the void and the outer space will likely suffer the same fate sooner or later." The gatekeeper's voice echoed in the void, filled with deep worry and fear.

However, the Guardian did not respond to his words, but silently increased his pace. His four-colored energy acted like sensitive antennae, constantly sensing the dimensional fluctuations around him. Every subtle change did not escape his notice, and once he detected the slightest trace of the will of the multiverse, he could immediately sound an alarm to alert everyone.

Half an hour later, a dazzling pale golden light appeared at the end of the energy trajectory – this was the core of the multiverse. The surface of the light was surrounded by countless colorful dimensional runes, each rune representing a dimensional space. The frequency of the runes' flashing was completely synchronized with the energy fluctuations of the corresponding dimension.

"This is... the core of multiple origins."

The Guardian's consciousness was filled with shock. He could feel the immense energy contained within the core, energy powerful enough to purify all void threats and even enable all dimensions to evolve freely. "The core's energy is pure, without any signs of traps. The warning from the strange consciousness... Could it really be a misunderstanding?"

Just as the two were about to approach the core, a rune on the surface of the core suddenly went out—this rune corresponded to the Taiwu Space!

Immediately afterwards, a black crack appeared at the location of the rune, and energy similar to that of the Tai Wu Xu Zi surged out from the crack, rapidly spreading into the core and attempting to corrupt the core's pure energy.

"It is the seed of nothingness from the Great Void!"

The Guardian's consciousness was filled with shock: "The Multiverse Will of Nothingness has established a connection with the Core through the Seed of Nothingness, attempting to corrupt the Core!"

The warning from the unfamiliar consciousness is not a trap; the core danger comes from the seed of nothingness within the vast emptiness. Once the seed matures, the core will be contaminated, and the entire multidimensional group will be swallowed by nothingness!

The gatekeeper reacted immediately, condensing black energy into a barrier to block the spread of the void energy in front of the crack: "We must sever the connection immediately!"

Otherwise, once the seed of nothingness fully matures, the connection will become even more stable, and at that point, even if we wanted to sever it, we would be powerless to do so!

Without hesitation, the guardian infused the four-colored energy into the core, attempting to find the connection point between the Seed of Nothingness and the core.

A clear energy network emerged from the core, and within this network, a black energy line extended from the rune corresponding to the Taiwu to the depths of the core—this was the connection point.

The Guardian's four-colored energy transformed into a lightsaber, precisely slashing at the black energy line—the instant the energy line broke, the corresponding runes of Taiwu lit up again, the void energy in the crack dissipated, and the core returned to stability.

"Connection successfully disconnected!"

The gatekeeper breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the core, then remembered the crisis of Taiwu. "But Taiwu's Void Seed is still there. We must return as soon as possible, otherwise, once the seed matures, it will re-establish the connection and may even directly devour Taiwu."

The guardian nodded, his consciousness preparing to leave, but was suddenly drawn to a fluctuation of consciousness deep within the core—this fluctuation was exactly the same as the abnormal fluctuation of the extraterrestrial will core!

He immediately injected the four-colored energy deep into his core, attempting to investigate the source of the fluctuations.

A black fragment of consciousness emerged from the core, its surface entwined with runes similar to those of the extraterrestrial will core. It was this fragment that was constantly transmitting abnormal signals to the extraterrestrial will core.

"This is... a fragment left in the core by the will of the multiverse!"

The guardian's consciousness was filled with rage: "Through this fragment, it remotely influenced the core of the extraterrestrial will, aiming to awaken the extraterrestrial will and make it its puppet, thus destroying the defenses of the Great Void and the extraterrestrial space from within!"

The gatekeeper immediately sealed the fragment with black energy, preventing it from transmitting signals: "We must return to the Great Void as soon as possible, eliminate the Seed of Nothingness, and stabilize the core of the extraterrestrial will!"

The core threat has been temporarily averted. Once we resolve the crisis of the Great Nothingness, we can return and utilize the core's energy to completely confront the multi-dimensional will of nothingness!

Without further delay, the two focused their consciousness on the energy trajectory and quickly returned to the multidimensional nodes of Taiwu.

During the journey, the Guardian attempted to transmit information through the weak conscious connection previously established with the merged entity, only to find that the connection was blocked by an unfamiliar energy—this energy was not void energy, but rather originated from within the Great Void. Clearly, in addition to the crisis of the Void Seed and the core of the extraterrestrial will, the Great Void space had encountered new problems.

"The connection to the consciousness of the Taiwu has been blocked."

The guardian's consciousness was filled with anxiety: "The shielding energy is coming from within, which means that Taiwu is facing internal troubles. Someone is preventing us from contacting the fusion entity, and may even be trying to destroy Taiwu's defenses!"

The gatekeeper's consciousness also grew heavy. He recalled that among the beings reborn from the void, some had been corrupted by fragments of the dimensional will's consciousness. Although they appeared to have returned to normal, they might be activated at crucial moments, becoming an internal threat: "Perhaps the corrupted beings have awakened, and they are cooperating with the dimensional void will to destroy the void from within!"

The two quickened their pace and finally arrived at the multidimensional node half an hour later.

The node's energy fluctuations were extremely chaotic, and black patterns appeared on its surface, clearly indicating that it had been contaminated by void energy. However, the contamination had been removed, leaving obvious traces—the fusion entity had fought a battle here against internal troubles to maintain the node's stability.

"The fusion entity must be in danger!"

Without hesitation, the guardian's consciousness surged into the node and flew rapidly toward the void.

The energy channels within the node have stabilized, clearly repaired by the fusion entity after the battle. White light energy and black contaminated energy remain on the channel walls, the intertwined traces of the two energies proving that the battle was extremely intense.

When their consciousness broke through the node and returned to the void, the scene before them made their hearts sink.
