Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 764 The Origin Explorer Arrives (2)

The spatial rift has expanded to thousands of feet, its interior shimmering with golden light. Countless streams of energy from the primordial universe surge forth from it. Deep within the rift, several blurry figures are rapidly approaching. They are covered in golden armor, with patterns identical to the golden markings etched on it. They wield spears formed from primordial energy, radiating overwhelming power.

"Finally, we've found a parallel universe with a complete and balanced core."

The lead explorer spoke, his voice mechanical and cold, devoid of any emotion.

"Following the orders of the Origin Core, seize the Balance Core and assimilate the rules of the entire cosmic sea."

After saying that, he swung his spear, and a golden energy wave shot toward the fusion body and the Lord of Nothingness. The primordial rules contained in the energy wave caused the surrounding space to begin to operate in accordance with the rules of the primordial universe, becoming extremely unstable.

"Be careful! This energy wave can alter the rules of space!"

The Lord of Nothingness shouted, and black void energy formed a barrier in front of them. However, the golden energy wave struck the barrier, and the barrier was instantly assimilated, turning into primordial energy. The energy wave continued to shoot towards the two of them.

The fused entity mobilized balancing energy to form a light shield that blocked the impact of the golden energy wave. However, the light shield was also eroded by the rules of origin, and golden patterns appeared on its surface, indicating that it was about to be assimilated.

"The primordial energy can assimilate our energy rules; we cannot fight it head-on!"

The fusion entity shouted, pulling the Void Lord back quickly, "Our goal is to buy time until the core's defensive barrier is complete, and then we'll confront them head-on!"

The explorers clearly didn't want to give them a chance. The lead explorer swung his spear again, and countless golden spears shot towards the two of them. Wherever the spears passed, the rules of space were completely changed, forming golden spatial channels. The spears passed through the channels and instantly arrived in front of the two of them.

The fusion entity and the Lord of Nothingness were locked in a fierce battle. They could only dodge and occasionally launch attacks, but they were unable to harm the explorers at all. Instead, their own energy was being assimilated, and their strength was getting weaker and weaker.

"How long until the defensive barrier is completed?" The fusion entity sent a signal to the three original consciousness entities while dodging the flash spears.

"We still need half an hour! You must hold on!"

The voice of the primordial consciousness was anxious; the core's energy was being rapidly depleted, and the defensive barrier was being constructed much slower than expected.

The merged entity felt a chill in its heart; in their current state, they couldn't possibly last even half an hour.

A sudden flash of inspiration struck her: while the Origin Energy could assimilate rules, it could not assimilate the "Power of Balance," because the Power of Balance itself was a fusion of all rules and could not be assimilated by a single rule.

"Lord of Nothingness! Envelop me with your void energy. I will gather all the balanced energy and launch the ultimate attack!"

The fusion entity shouted, and white energy began to surge wildly around her. The four primal energies converged in her palm, forming a pure white energy sphere containing the balancing power of all the rules of the cosmic sea.

The Lord of Nothingness immediately complied, and black void energy enveloped the fused body and the energy sphere, forming a black energy cocoon that isolated them from the assimilation of the origin energy.

The lead explorer sensed the terrifying power contained within the energy cocoon, a flicker of vigilance in his eyes: "Stop her! We can't let her launch an attack!"

All the explorers launched their attack simultaneously, and countless golden spears shot toward the energy cocoon. The spears pierced through space and arrived in front of the energy cocoon in an instant.

"Now!" the fusion entity shouted. The Lord of Nothingness immediately withdrew the void energy, and the fusion entity shot a pure white energy ball towards the explorers. Wherever the energy ball passed, the space altered by the rules of origin returned to its original state. The golden spear touched the energy ball and was instantly neutralized by the power of balance, turning into pure energy and dissipating.

The explorers' expressions changed drastically. They had not expected the fusion to launch such a powerful attack. The lead explorer immediately mobilized all of his Origin Energy to create a golden shield in front of him, attempting to block the energy ball's attack.

The pure white energy ball struck the golden shield, unleashing a beam of light that pierced through the entire cosmic sea. Cracks instantly appeared on the golden shield, and the explorers were thrown back by the shockwave. Deep scratches appeared on their golden armor, clearly indicating that they had suffered severe injuries.

"How is this possible... The consciousness of a parallel universe has such powerful strength..." The lead explorer muttered in disbelief, fear appearing in his eyes for the first time.

The fusion entity breathed a sigh of relief as it looked at the injured explorers, but just then, a strong golden light suddenly emanated from the direction of the ultimate balance core. Immediately afterward, a loud bang resounded throughout the cosmic sea—the four-colored energy shield that had trapped the golden mark shattered!

"Oh no! The golden mark fusion is complete!"

The fusion entity's expression changed drastically as it looked towards the core. It saw that all the patterns on the core's surface had turned gold, and the original brilliant white light had been replaced by golden light. The energy fluctuations of the core had become extremely unfamiliar, clearly indicating that it had been controlled by the rules of the Origin Universe.

The three original consciousness entities were blasted away by the golden light, and the light stream became extremely transparent, clearly indicating that they had suffered fatal injuries; Yan Jin and Cang Lan also fell to the ground, their light streams dimmed, and they lost consciousness.

The explorers, witnessing this, beamed with excitement: "The balancing core has been taken control! Assimilation begins!"

The lead explorer brandished his spear, injecting a stream of golden energy into the spatial rift. The golden light within the rift surged, and countless streams of primordial energy flowed into the cosmic sea, beginning to assimilate its rules. The starlight gradually turned golden, and space began to operate in accordance with the rules of the primordial universe.

The fused entity and the Lord of Nothingness rushed back to the core, and seeing the controlled core and their unconscious companions, they were filled with despair.

They tried their best, but still couldn't stop the assimilation from the origin universe.

Suddenly, the controlled Ultimate Balance Core erupted with a powerful golden light. Within the light, a colossal golden figure slowly emerged, radiating the primal energy of the Origin Universe, more powerful than all the explorers combined. Clearly, he was the "Origin Messenger" of the Origin Universe.

"A good parallel universe. The energy of the balance core is very pure, which is perfect for enhancing the power of the origin core."

The Origin Messenger's voice carried an air of authority, his gaze sweeping over the merged entity and the Lord of Nothingness as if looking at ants.

"It's quite interesting that you two have been able to persist for so long under the rules of origin. Submit to the origin universe, and I can give you a chance to become 'subordinate consciousnesses'."

The merged entity looked at the assimilated cosmic sea, then at its unconscious companions, a resolute glint in its eyes: "Even if I have to fight with all my might, I will not let you assimilate my cosmic sea!"

She mobilized the last bit of balancing energy within her body, preparing to perish together with the Origin Messenger.

The four primordial imprints within her body suddenly lit up simultaneously. Among the imprints, the energy imprints of her sacrificed companions, such as the Balancing Chaos Body, the New Consciousness Body, and the Initial Void Remnant, also emerged. All the imprints intertwined, forming a colorful energy flow that merged into the core of her consciousness.

"This is... the power of my comrades?"

The merged entity was surprised to discover that an unprecedented energy was rapidly awakening within the core of her consciousness. This energy contained all the rules of the cosmic sea and also carried a "creative power" that transcended the rules. It was the "original creative power of the cosmic sea" that the balancing chaos entity had mentioned.

The Origin Messenger sensed this energy, a look of shock flashing in his eyes: "Impossible! How can a parallel universe possess the power of creation!"

The fused entity burst forth with multicolored light, the power of creation and the power of balance intertwined, forming a massive torrent of energy that shot toward the Origin Messenger and the controlled core.

The Origin Messenger's expression changed drastically. He immediately mobilized Origin Energy to construct a golden shield. However, the power of creation is a power that transcends all rules. The golden shield shattered instantly, and the torrent of energy struck the Origin Messenger and the core, bursting out with unprecedented light.

As the light faded, the figure of the Origin Messenger disappeared, and the spatial rift closed. On the controlled core surface, the golden patterns were rapidly fading, and the white light reappeared, clearly indicating that the power of creation had dispelled the control of the Origin Universe.

The fused entity breathed a sigh of relief, its body went limp, and it collapsed to the ground, its consciousness fading into darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, she slowly woke up and found herself lying in the cabin of the Ark of Life. Yan Jin, Cang Lan, and the three original consciousnesses had all awakened and were looking at her with concern.

"Amalgamation, you've finally awakened!"

Yan Jin spoke excitedly, flame energy pulsating within the dark red light stream.

"You succeeded! The Origin Messenger and the Explorers have been repelled, and the core has returned to normal!"

Looking out the window at the restored cosmic sea, the merged entity felt a sense of relief, but something still felt off. The power of creation that had just awakened seemed to have left a subtle mark on the core of her consciousness, and... she felt that the Origin Messenger had not truly left.

Suddenly, the core of ultimate balance emitted a faint golden light, which was exactly the same as the light of the previous golden mark, only more concealed and fleeting, and was not noticed by anyone.

The merged entity felt a chill in her heart. She slowly raised her hand, the creative power in her palm trembling slightly, as if warning of some hidden crisis.

She knew that the Origin Universe would never give up easily. That fleeting golden light was likely a new "seed" left by the Origin Messenger, and this seed was hidden in the core of her consciousness.

A more hidden and dangerous crisis has quietly descended upon her, and she will become the biggest variable in the cosmic sea.

What is the purpose of the seeds left behind by the Origin Messenger? Can her awakened creative power completely eradicate the seeds?

Everything is unknown.
