Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 567 Existence, Resonance, and the Whispers of the Origin (2)

"This is 'existential resonance'!"

The Guardian's figure burst out of the darkness, surrounded by energy interwoven with silver-gray and pale gold. "The research notes of the 0th generation observer state that the primordial consciousness is not the enemy, but the 'original will' of the Great Nothingness. Its agitation is due to being contaminated by the residual consciousness of an ancient being."

Only by resonating with the fundamental will of all existence can pollution be purified and primordial consciousness restored to peace.

The consciousness of the merged entity gradually regained clarity under the nourishment of the resonant light.

She could feel that the consciousness fluctuations of the external clones had become strong again, and even the clones that had already dissipated had left behind a faint fragment of consciousness, which was gathered into the core through the resonant light.

The patterns of the guiding array no longer needed her white light to maintain them, but were driven by the energy of the resonant light, making them operate more stably on their own.

The darkness deep within began to fade, replaced by a soft white light.

Within the light, the outline of the primordial consciousness gradually became clear—it was not a terrifying monster, but a ball of light without a physical form. The black patterns that occasionally flashed across the surface of the ball of light were the remnants of the consciousness of an ancient being.

When the resonant light touched the light cluster, the black lines began to fade gradually, and the energy released by the light cluster changed from destructive black to nourishing white.

"Success?"

The fused entity's voice carried a hint of disbelief as she watched the primal consciousness gradually regain its composure and the external light shield signal stabilize again, a sense of relief welling up within her.

But the guardian's expression did not relax; instead, it became even more solemn. He stared intently at the ball of light of the primordial consciousness, as if he were on guard against something.

"not yet."

The guardian's voice carried a hint of seriousness, "Resonance can only temporarily purify the surface pollution; the ancient remnants of consciousness deep within the primordial consciousness require the 'Guiding Core' to be completely eradicated."

And this guiding core must be the entity with the deepest connection to the primordial void—that is, you and me.

The fused being's body stiffened instantly, and she finally understood the reason for the guardian's solemnity: guiding the core meant that they needed to deeply merge their own consciousness with the original consciousness, using their own consciousness as a "purification medium."

During this process, they may lose their independent consciousness, become part of the primitive consciousness, and never be able to return to their original form.

Is this the only way?

The fused entity's voice trembled slightly as she looked at the Guardians, then at the gradually stabilizing parallel universe bubbles outside—those were the things they had fought so hard to protect. She didn't want to lose consciousness like this, to lose the chance to fight alongside the Guardians.

The guardian did not answer, but simply reached out and grasped the fused body's hand.

A warm, pale golden energy emanated from his palm, carrying a resolute wave of consciousness: "No matter the outcome, we will face it together."

Even if we become part of the original consciousness, our consciousness will forever protect these beings and prevent them from being harmed again.

The merged entity nodded, took a deep breath, and merged its own consciousness with that of the guardian.

When the two consciousnesses were simultaneously injected into the ball of light of the primordial consciousness, the ball of light suddenly burst out with a dazzling white light. Within the light, the residual consciousness of the ancient being was completely forced out, turning into a black dot of light that dissipated into the void of the land of origin.

The primordial consciousness finally returned to its pure white state. It slowly rotated, releasing gentle energy that nourished every corner of the land of origin.

Just when the merged entity thought the crisis was finally over, a strange fluctuation of consciousness suddenly emanated from the orb of primordial consciousness—it wasn't the fluctuation of the original will, but a fluctuation carrying a "command," repeating the same sentence: "Purification complete, guiding core activation, the reshaping of the Primordial Order begins..."

The faces of the merged entity and the guardian turned pale at the same time. They suddenly realized that they had overlooked a crucial issue: the research notes of the 0th generation observer only described the method of purification, but not the "consequences" of purification.

What exactly does the "reconstruction of primordial disorder" mean? Does it mean returning all existence to its primordial state, or completely changing its current form of existence?

What terrifies them even more is that their consciousness has become deeply integrated with their original consciousness, making it impossible for them to break free on their own.

The ball of light began to slowly shrink, pulling their consciousness deeper into its core. They could feel their memories gradually fading, and those experiences of exploring the Great Void and the scenes of fighting alongside their clones were disappearing little by little.

"Something's not right... This isn't the normal state after purification!"

The guardian's voice carried a hint of struggle as he tried to mobilize the energy of the Primal Chaos Energy Core to prevent the disappearance of consciousness. "Someone has altered the instructions of the Primal Consciousness. 'Reshaping the Primal Chaos' is a trap!"

The merged entity also sensed the anomaly. She could clearly see a tiny, pale golden rune deep within the primordial consciousness orb—the rune of the 0th generation observer, yet carrying a “cycle command” similar to that of the ancient beings.

Clearly, the 0th generation observers left behind a contingency plan when they left the purification method, and this contingency plan is now being activated by some unknown force.

Just as their consciousness was about to completely disappear, a familiar wave of consciousness suddenly emanated from the entrance to the Land of Origin—it was the residual consciousness of the 0th generation observer!

Amidst the fluctuations, the voice of the Generation 0 Observer carried a hint of guilt: "I'm sorry, this is the only way to free Taiwu from the cycle... The price of reshaping is far heavier than you can imagine..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and the contraction speed of the primordial consciousness light cluster suddenly accelerated.

The consciousness of the merged entity and the guardian was completely pulled into the depths of the orb of light. They lost all perception of the outside world, leaving only one last thought: What exactly is the 0th generation observer's "backup plan"? What will be the true price of the "reconstruction of utter disorder," and what fate will all beings face?

Outside the entrance to the Land of Origin, the already stable new narrative shield suddenly began to rotate in reverse, and the shape of the parallel universe bubble gradually became transparent.

Those beings who had just escaped the threat of the black energy, before they could even regain their senses, found themselves transforming into "Tai Wu Yuan" – they were losing their physical form and becoming pure consciousness energy, converging towards the place of origin.

No one knows whether this seemingly successful purification is the end of an endless cycle of exploration or the beginning of an even more terrifying one.

Whether the merged entity and guardians, who have been pulled into the core of the original consciousness, can find a way to break the "reconstruction command" before their consciousness completely dissipates, and once again protect the fate of all beings, remains an unknown mystery hanging over all consciousness.
