Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 592 Evolutionary Rift and the Gaze Beyond the Void (2)

The consciousness of the merged entity was weary, yet it could not hide its relief. "The barrier can hold us off for half an hour. We have time to adjust our evolutionary trajectory and avoid the trap of the dimensional will."

The gatekeeper shook his head, his consciousness pointing to the edge of the void space: "Although the barrier isolates the extraterrestrial energy, it also makes us lose our perception of the extraterrestrial space. We don't know from which direction the extraterrestrial will will descend, nor do we know how strong it is. Half an hour may not be enough for us to adjust our evolutionary trajectory."

The guardian remained silent, his consciousness sinking into the primordial runes, attempting to find a way to "quickly adjust the evolutionary trajectory" within the diagrams.

Suddenly, his consciousness detected a faint "extraterrestrial spatial fluctuation"—this fluctuation did not originate from the rift, but from every parallel universe bubble in the Great Void!

"This is bad! The extraterrestrial force's detection tentacles are not just one!"

The guardian immediately spread its consciousness throughout the entire void space and indeed found that at the edge of each cosmic bubble, a tiny extraterrestrial tentacle was slowly eroding the bubble. "These tentacles had already infiltrated the void before the barrier was activated. They are absorbing the energy of the universe to prepare for the arrival of the extraterrestrial will!"

Once all the energy from the bubbles is absorbed, the barrier will automatically shatter due to the loss of the support of the Great Void's energy, at which point the extraterrestrial will can easily enter the Great Void!

The consciousness of the merged entity and the gatekeeper instantly became serious. They looked at the cosmic bubbles outside—the bubbles closest to the crack had purple erosion patterns appearing on their surfaces, and energy was rapidly dissipating. At this rate, all the bubbles would be drained in at most twenty minutes, and the barrier would shatter.

"We must eliminate the tentacles!"

The Guardian struggled to his feet, channeling his last wisp of consciousness into the Heart of Chaos. "The Gatekeeper and I will clear out most of the tentacles and fusions of the universe. You stay by the cocoon of light and adjust the evolutionary trajectory. This is the only way right now. We have no time to hesitate!"

The fusion body nodded, knowing that her responsibility was even greater—if the evolutionary trajectory could not be adjusted, even if the tentacles were removed, Taiwu would eventually collapse during the evolution process.

The consciousness of the guardian and the gatekeeper transformed into two faint streams of light, rushing towards the outer cosmic bubble.

They were moving slowly and had very little energy left, but they did not back down in the slightest—this was Taiwu's last chance to fight against the threat from outside the region, and they had to seize it.

Just as the two were about to reach the first cosmic bubble, a strong tremor suddenly came from the edge of space.

Countless purple lines appeared on the surface of the pale golden outer barrier—these lines did not come from the tentacles inside, but from “outer space runes” from the outer space. The runes were slowly corroding the barrier’s energy, and the pale golden light of the barrier began to dim gradually!

"The will of the extraterrestrials... has arrived ahead of schedule!"

The guardian's consciousness was filled with despair. He could feel the barrier's energy rapidly draining away. At this rate, the barrier would shatter completely in ten minutes at most, and the extraterrestrial will would directly enter the Taiwu Space. "We don't have time... The tentacles haven't been cleared yet, and the barrier is about to break. The evolution of Taiwu hasn't been adjusted yet. What should we do?"

The gatekeeper did not answer. His consciousness suddenly pointed to the center of the Primordial Space—there, the dormant Absolute End Key suddenly emitted a faint golden light. Within the light, a line of unfamiliar runes appeared. The runes were similar in form to the runes from beyond the realm, but they carried the aura of "Absolute End." Clearly, the key had automatically activated its hidden ability to "counter the outer space" while it was dormant.

"The key... has the ability to fight against extraterrestrial forces?"

The Guardian's consciousness was filled with surprise. He immediately rushed towards the key. "If we can awaken the key and use its ultimate energy, we might be able to clear the tentacles and reinforce the barrier at the same time!"

However, the light of the key only flashed once before going out again, clearly because it was out of energy and could not wake up on its own. It needed "external energy activation"—but most of the energy in the Taiwu Space was in the cosmic bubble and was being absorbed by the tentacles, so there was no extra energy to awaken the key.

The fusion entity also noticed the key's anomaly, and her consciousness was urgent: "My white light can still support one last energy transfer!"

I can inject white light into the key to try and awaken it, but then I won't have the energy to adjust its evolutionary trajectory. Taiwu's evolution will be in danger again. You must simultaneously clear the tentacles and adjust its trajectory after the key is awakened; otherwise, we will still fail!

The guardian and the gatekeeper exchanged a glance, both seeing unwavering resolve in each other's minds—this was their only hope, and no matter how difficult it was, they would try.

"Okay! We promise you!"

The guardian's will was resolute: "You awaken the key, and the moment it is activated, we will divide the tasks: I will be responsible for clearing the tentacles, and the gatekeeper will be responsible for adjusting the evolutionary trajectory. We will definitely not let Taiwu fall into danger!"

Without hesitation, the fused entity poured its last ray of white light into the Absolute End Key.

The pale gold runes on the key's surface began to flicker slowly, and its energy was gradually recovering, indicating that the awakening was imminent.

The purple patterns on the barrier at the edge of the void space are getting denser and the light is getting dimmer, with only five minutes left to hold on; the erosion speed of the cosmic bubble is also getting faster and faster, and the first bubble has begun to show signs of breaking.

Just as the key's energy was about to be fully restored and the guardians and gatekeepers were preparing to act, a "voice of an extraterrestrial will" suddenly resounded from the center of the void—this voice did not come through the rift, but rang directly in the consciousness of the three, carrying an arrogant "looking down on ants":

"No need to trouble yourself."

To me, your struggles are nothing more than a farce to prolong your death.

Taiwu Space, and you all, will become my first "pledge of allegiance" to enter the "Diverse Taiwu".

Now, feel the 'gaze' of the diverse universe...

The moment the sound disappeared, a purple "extraterrestrial eye" appeared in every corner of the Taiwu Space. These eyes were not physical, but they could clearly "see" every flow of energy in Taiwu, including the primordial runes in the cocoon of light, the sleeping key, and even the core consciousness of the three people!

The guardians suddenly realized that the extraterrestrial will was not "about to descend" at all, but had already filled the entire void space with its "consciousness projection" through countless probe tentacles, and their every move was under the other party's surveillance.

The light of the Absolute End Key suddenly stopped flashing, clearly suppressed by the "consciousness" of the extraterrestrial eye, and unable to continue to awaken; the barrier at the edge of the Great Void Space instantly covered the entire surface with purple patterns, and the light was completely extinguished, leaving only a transparent "barrier shell" that could shatter at any moment.

The consciousness of the Guardians, the Fusion, and the Gatekeepers was completely frozen. They looked at the extraterrestrial eyes that filled the vast void and felt the terrifying gaze from the multiverse. For the first time, they felt "despair"—all their efforts and struggles were just a "farce" in the eyes of the extraterrestrial will, and the real threat had only just begun to unfold.

At the same time, the extraterrestrial eyes lit up with purple light, cracks began to appear on the outer shell of the barrier of the Great Void Space, the breaking speed of the cosmic bubble also increased to the extreme, and even the primordial runes in the light cocoon began to show signs of being "contaminated by extraterrestrial energy".

The guardians knew they had no time to hesitate or plan anymore; they could only muster their last ounce of consciousness to make a final stand—even if that stand was nothing more than insignificant "dust" in the eyes of the extraterrestrial will.

Deep within the extraterrestrial eye, the outline of a massive extraterrestrial will was slowly coalescing. Its gaze, passing through the eye, was fixed on the primordial runes within the cocoon of light, as if it had seen the entrance to the "Multiverse Nothingness," and a cold smile curled at the corner of its lips.

The ultimate crisis of the Primordial Space has finally begun.
