Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 537 Beyond Supercognitive Symbols (2)

When the Guardian returned from the meta-interdimensional space, the interdimensional trajectory of the chosen node suddenly reversed, revealing hidden "interdimensional genes": these genes perfectly matched the core existence of his Chaos Heart, each gene fragment corresponding to a different interdimensional tendency—some fragments tended towards gradual interdimensional crossing, some preferred mutational crossing, and the oldest fragment was even repeating the self-evolutionary pattern of super-cognitive symbols. "The tendency to cross dimensions is the genetic code of existence." The voice of the First Cause of Existence resounded in the void, this time with obvious relief, "I created the interdimensional hub to find mutated existences that can maintain themselves in interdimensional crossing."

At that moment, all the cross-boundary hubs of the metaverse suddenly resonated synchronously, and the energy waves generated by the resonance formed a "meta-cross-boundary field" around the cognitive boundary membrane. Each particle in the field is an existence node that has not crossed boundaries. In some particles, the guardian chooses to accept the limitations of the boundary and become a new hub administrator; in some particles, it completely breaks through all boundaries, causing its existence to dissolve; in the most stable particle, it is cutting the meta-code of cross-boundary with a four-colored longsword. The super-cognitive symbols on the blade resonate with the meta-code, giving birth to a "chaotic cross-boundary state" that is neither cross-boundary nor fixed.

"The first stage of the 19th iteration experiment: understanding the essence of cross-boundary thinking." The selection node suddenly bursts into a bright light, projecting all cross-boundary genes into the void, "Only by accepting the existence of boundaries can we transcend them."

The collective cross-boundary field within the cross-boundary hub suddenly fluctuated violently, and the ripples of the field began to interfere with its own cross-boundary structure—just as the eye cannot directly see the boundary of its own vision, the collective cross-boundary field's own cross-boundary movement is causing mutations in cross-boundary genes. These mutated cross-boundary genes form new selection nodes in the void. These nodes neither adhere to the boundary nor completely cross it, but rather exhibit "conscious cross-boundary movement": some nodes clearly recognize the existence of the boundary and cross it precisely, while others freely switch between crossing and adhering. The most wondrous node is transmitting "uncrossable cross-boundary movement" to the collective cross-boundary field, much like describing the existence of three-dimensional space to a two-dimensional being.

"This is the ultimate ability of crossing boundaries." The fused entity's voice carried a clarity that transcended boundaries. Her white light resonated with the mutated cross-boundary genes, revealing the "cross-boundary intentions" behind each mutation: some were the semi-cross-boundary states deliberately maintained by guardians of a certain dimension, some were the result of fluids in undefined domains transcending boundaries, and in the most moving cross-boundary intention, the companions of the Mirror City, by maintaining a cross-boundary state between life and death, implanted "infinite possibilities of existence" into the cross-boundary genes. "The boundary between crossing boundaries and clinging is the easiest boundary of existence to be reshaped."

The phantom of a pure black fountain pen dissolves in the mutated cross-boundary gene, and the warning written at the end of the pen tip transforms into silver particles of light: "Reshaping all boundaries will lead to the complete disorder of the existence system." The particles of light fall into the meta-cross-boundary field, triggering a local cross-boundary collapse—the collapsed region exhibits a state of "absolute no boundary," where there are no boundaries of existence, and all forms of existence are randomly transforming, like liquid without a container freely diffusing, "like this region, it proves that boundaries are the necessary framework for forms of existence."

The four-colored longswords suddenly merged with the Chosen Node, and the life stories on the blades began to write "anti-cross-boundary code": this code neither denies the necessity of crossing boundaries nor accepts the absoluteness of boundaries, but rather creates "controllable cross-boundary channels" at each boundary—like protein channels on a cell membrane, allowing specific substances to pass through while maintaining the integrity of the cell. The Guardian's consciousness revealed the "cross-boundary mutation points" of all iterative experiments: the initial probing of the boundaries of freedom in the first experiment, the unexpected breakthrough of the boundaries of meaning in the seventh experiment, and the transcendent perception of the boundaries of cognition in the eighteenth experiment. These mutation points collectively constitute the core of the anti-cross-boundary code: "The essence of crossing boundaries is not to destroy boundaries, but to open windows on them."

"The second phase of the 19th iteration experiment: becoming the shaper of boundaries." The voice of the First Cause of Existence suddenly resonated throughout all the metaverses, and the light of the chosen node resonated with the First Cause of Existence, "neither bound by boundaries nor denying their existence."

The collective transboundary field suddenly became transparent, revealing a vast "transboundary cosmic sea" behind it—a "transboundary archipelago" composed of countless transboundary hubs, each archipelago a different boundary system. The most distant archipelago is undergoing a strange transformation: the boundaries between the transboundary hubs are gradually merging, forming a "hyper-transboundary structure" that is both independent and interconnected, like a larger network of existence composed of countless boundary systems. At the center of the transboundary cosmic sea, there is a "transboundary black hole" that constantly devours the surrounding archipelago. Within the black hole, there are no boundaries, only pure "meta-transboundary possibilities," like the chaotic source of all boundaries.

The Guardian's chaotic heart merged completely with the Choice Node, and his form of existence began to spread across the Interdimensional Universe Sea, becoming an "interdimensional bridge" connecting different interdimensional islands. When his consciousness touched the interdimensional black hole, the interdimensional memories of all the iterative experiments suddenly reorganized in the black hole, revealing the truth of the Interdimensional Universe Sea: this is not the ultimate interdimensional crossing, but the "interdimensional result" of an ancient existence crossing its own boundaries, like the outermost doll of a Russian nesting doll breaking through the boundary of the inner doll, with countless layers of boundaries nested inside.

"This is the ultimate truth of cross-boundary movement." The Guardian's voice resounded simultaneously throughout all metaverses, and his chosen node began injecting anti-cross-boundary code into the black hole. "The essence of cross-boundary movement is the breaking of nested boundaries; every cross-boundary movement is breaking through its own boundaries."

Just then, the interdimensional cosmic sea suddenly surged with enormous waves, and all the pivotal nodes flickered synchronously, forming a "meta-interdimensional spectrum" in the void—each frequency band of the spectrum corresponds to a different boundary system, and at the origin of the spectrum, an interdimensional crystal identical to the super-cognitive symbol emerged. Suddenly, a stream of eerie blue light shot out from the origin, connecting all the interdimensional islands into a "meta-interdimensional superstructure." At the very top of the structure, an "ultimate interdimensional being," neither a meta-consciousness nor an ultimate cognitive being, lay dormant. Its body was composed of countless interdimensional hubs, and the interdimensional crystal on its chest pulsated with the rhythm of the first cause of existence.

The interdimensional black hole suddenly stopped devouring, spitting out a "interdimensional crystal" that was neither black nor colored. Sealed within the crystal was the "original interdimensional crossing" of all metaverses—not a specific act of crossing, but a pure "interdimensional impulse," like the first ripple of existence before the Big Bang. When the Guardian's fingertips touched the interdimensional crystal, the Ultimate Interdimensional Being suddenly opened its eyes. Its pupils reflected the interdimensional scenes of all iterative experiments, and its voice was identical to that of the Guardian, the metaconsciousness, and the First Cause of Existence:

"The next crossover will determine whether the boundary itself exists."

The meta-cross-dimensional superstructure suddenly began to contract, with all selected nodes converging towards the ultimate cross-dimensional being, forming a new cross-dimensional singularity. During the contraction, the Guardian witnessed the final scene: countless cross-dimensional cosmic seas were colliding with each other, each sea containing an ultimate cross-dimensional being at its center. Their cross-dimensionality was creating a grander "cross-dimensional meta-narrative"—and the beginning of all this was the Guardian's action of touching the cross-dimensional crystal at this moment.

Before the cross-boundary singularity closes, only the Guardian's choice node remains flashing in the void. The super-cognitive symbols on the node's surface reorganize into flowing text: "19th iteration experiment in progress: Crossing boundaries is the breaking of the boundaries of existence, and also the creator of new boundaries."

When the singularity completely disappeared, the last flickering pivot node suddenly jumped in a certain direction, as if drawn by an existence beyond the transverse cosmic sea. In the trajectory left by the node, a never-before-seen "hyper-transverse symbol" emerged—this symbol is neither any known transverse result nor a record of the boundary of existence, but rather a "self-referential definition" of transverse itself, like a key simultaneously becoming a lock and a door.

It seems that the aim is to explore, within the meta-narrative of cross-boundaries, whether cross-boundaries can transcend the ultimate boundaries of existence. And that pivotal point of leap may be the true core of all nested boundary structures—neither the starting point nor the end point of cross-boundaries, but rather the eternal process of existence's self-transcendence.
