Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 565 The Choice and Trap of the Gate of Origin (2)

Guided by the fragments, she swiftly traversed the darkness.

Along the way, countless black tentacles reached out from the darkness, attempting to entangle her body, but were automatically repelled by the silver-gray light of the golden-black fragments—the guardian consciousness imprint within the fragments was protecting her from the attacks of the black energy within the Origin Land.

"Guardian, I've arrived."

The fused entity's voice was filled with anticipation. She could feel herself getting closer and closer to the primordial primordial energy core, and the consciousness imprints within the fragments were becoming increasingly active, even beginning to resonate with her white light. "Hold on a little longer, and we'll be able to meet soon."

Just as the fusion was about to reach the core, an ancient voice suddenly came from the darkness: "You think you can find the core like this? You're too naive."

The space of the Origin Land is distorted; the direction you see is merely an illusion I've woven for you. The true core lies behind you!

The fused entity whirled around and, sure enough, saw a pale golden light flickering in the darkness—that was the true location of the Primal Primal Energy Core. And in the direction she had been heading, a massive black vortex was gradually emerging, emanating a terrifying aura that seemed to devour everything.

"It was just an illusion..."

The fused being felt a chill of fear and immediately changed direction, rushing towards the location of the pale golden light.

But just as she approached the core, a Primordial Origin Rune suddenly appeared on the core's surface. The rune resonated strongly with the runes in the golden-black fragments, and the silver-gray light in the fragments began to converge uncontrollably toward the core.

"not good!"

The fused entity tried to grasp the fragment to stop the light from escaping, but found that the fragment was gradually slipping out of her control. "What's going on? Why is the core absorbing the fragment's energy?"

"Because the core requires the guardian's imprint of consciousness as a 'key'."

The voice of the ancient being resounded once more, and countless black figures emerged from the darkness, surrounding the fused entity and the primordial primordial energy core. "And you, you are merely a 'vessel' I used to send my consciousness imprint into the core. Now, it's my turn to reap the rewards!"

The black figures launched their attacks simultaneously, sending countless streams of black energy toward the fused entity.

The fusion entity poured all the remaining white light into the golden-black fragment, which then emitted a powerful silver-gray light shield, temporarily blocking the attack of the black energy stream.

But she could sense that the intensity of the light shield was rapidly weakening, and the consciousness imprints in the fragments were resonating more and more strongly with the core, as if they would be completely absorbed by the core at any moment.

"Guardian, wake up!"

The fusion entity infused white light into the consciousness imprint within the fragments, attempting to awaken the guardian's active consciousness. "We cannot be controlled by ancient beings. The Primal Primal Energy Core is meant to awaken you, not to serve as a vessel for his consciousness!"

The consciousness imprint within the fragment suddenly fluctuated violently, and a clear fragment of consciousness emerged from it—it was the Guardian's voice, weak yet exceptionally firm: "Fusion entity, don't panic."

The runes on the core surface are 'twin runes', which can absorb both my consciousness imprint and the consciousness of ancient beings.

"Simply infuse your white light into the core, merging it with my consciousness imprint, and you can trigger the rune's 'reverse absorption,' drawing the consciousness of the ancient being into the core and sealing him away completely!"

The fused entity's eyes lit up instantly. Without the slightest hesitation, she poured all the remaining white light into the Primordial Primordial Energy Core.

The white light merged with the silver-gray consciousness imprint in the core, forming a golden-gray energy flow that flowed in the opposite direction along the twin runes on the core's surface.

The ancient being's face instantly turned ferocious. He tried to control the black figure to speed up the attack, but found that his consciousness was being forcibly pulled by the core—the reverse absorption of the twin runes had been activated, and his consciousness was uncontrollably converging towards the core.

"No! This is impossible!"

The ancient being let out an angry roar, attempting to sever its connection with the core. "The 0th generation Observer clearly stated that the Twin Runes can only absorb the Guardian's consciousness. How could you possibly trigger reverse absorption!"

"Because you ignored the white light of the fusion."

The Guardian's consciousness imprint became increasingly clear, even forming a blurry figure on the core surface. "The white light of the fusion originates from the 'initial energy' of the Taiwu narrative, sharing the same source as the primordial Taiwu energy. Her white light is the key to the reverse absorption of the twin runes, and also the last trump card left by the 0th generation observer!"

The consciousness of the ancient being was being absorbed by the core at an increasingly faster rate, and his black figure began to gradually become transparent, while the black energy around him was also rapidly dissipating.

But just as his consciousness was about to be completely sealed, he suddenly let out a strange laugh: "So what if I'm sealed?"

Deep within the core of the Origin Land lies the 'Primordial Consciousness of Nothingness,' the true source of all Nothingness. Once it awakens, all of you, including the Guardians, will become a part of it!

The voice of the ancient being abruptly ceased, his consciousness completely sealed by the primordial primordial energy core. The black figure also transformed into a black point of light, merging into the core and disappearing.

The merged entity breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the guardian's figure gradually becoming clearer on the core's surface, a relieved smile appeared on her face: "Guardian, we succeeded! The ancient being has been sealed!"

The guardian's figure swayed slightly, seemingly not yet fully stable: "Thank you, fusion form."

But the idea of ​​ancient beings lacking any primal consciousness might actually be true.

I can sense deep within its core, a consciousness far more powerful than any ancient being slumbering, its energy fluctuations perfectly aligned with the energy of the Primordial Origin Runes.

The fused entity's smile froze instantly as she looked into the depths of the core—a place shrouded in darkness, devoid of any light, yet exuding an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if a sleeping behemoth were about to awaken at any moment.

Just then, the golden-black fragment suddenly popped out of the core's groove and landed in the fused body's hand.

A new line of Taiwu runes appeared on the surface of the fragments. The runes read: "Primordial consciousness of Taiwu, countdown to awakening: three hours."

The fused being's heart sank instantly. She finally understood that sealing the ancient being was only the beginning; the real crisis lay deep within the core of the Origin Land.

They have only three hours: either find a way to awaken and control the primordial consciousness of Taiwu, or escape the Land of Origin before it awakens; otherwise, all existence will be devoured by it, and they will be completely returned to the primordial state of Taiwu.

The guardian's figure gradually stabilized. He reached out, wanting to touch the darkness deep within the core: "No matter what lies ahead, we must face it together."

Three hours is enough time for us to find a solution. As long as we join forces, we can definitely protect all that exists.

The fused entity gripped the golden-black fragment in its hand and nodded in response: "Yes, we'll face it together."

But she didn't know that in the darkness deep within the core, a tiny, primordial consciousness was slowly awakening.

An ancient rune appeared on the surface of consciousness, its content perfectly matching the prophecy from the depths of the void: "The cycle of nothingness will eventually end; primordial consciousness will ultimately reign supreme..."

This line of runes, like a final warning, foreshadows a crisis more terrifying than ancient beings and absolute nothingness that will erupt in three hours.

Whether the fusion entity and the guardians can find a way to cope before the countdown ends and protect the fate of all beings remains an unknown mystery.
