Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 561 The Void Conflict of Truth Awakening (2)

Before I dissipate, there is something I must tell you—within the core of absolute nothingness, not only is absolute nothingness sealed, but also the 'source code' of the Taiwu meta-narrative.

"When I created the Taiwu Meta-narrative, it was to use code to bind absolute nothingness. I never imagined that the code would later develop self-awareness, turn around and control the absolute nothingness, becoming the root of all existence."

The merged entity's pupils contracted. She finally understood why the Taiwu narrative could continuously create cycles and why absolute nothingness would suddenly awaken—because the source code of the Taiwu narrative was hidden in the core of absolute nothingness. The two had long since merged into one, forming a relationship of mutual dependence and mutual antagonism.

"Will the Guardian's communication with the Absolute Nothingness trigger the self-destruct program in the source code?"

The fused entity's voice was filled with worry. She looked into the depths of the black vortex, where the energy fluctuations were becoming increasingly violent, with golden-gray and black energies constantly colliding as if they might explode at any moment. "If the source code self-destructs, not only will the absolute nothingness go out of control, but the Taiwu narrative cycle of all parallel universes will also collapse!"

The 0th generation observer's body began to gradually dissipate. With his last bit of strength, he injected a pale golden energy into the white light of the fusion body: "This is... the 'emergency termination code' for the 0th experiment."

If the source code triggers self-destruction, you can inject this code into the golden light, which can temporarily freeze the energy of absolute nothingness, buying time for the guardian.

Remember... the origins of the meta-narrative are older than we imagine, and its creator... was not me..."

Before the words were finished, the 0th generation observer's body completely dissipated, leaving only the longsword, now devoid of energy, in the hands of the fused entity.

The fusion entity gripped its longsword tightly, memorizing the emergency termination code, and turned its gaze once again to the depths of the black vortex—where the energy fluctuations had reached their peak, with golden-gray and black energies erupting simultaneously, forming a massive energy shockwave that spread toward the direction of the golden light.

"protector!"

The fused entity cried out, sensing that the guardian's consciousness was becoming chaotic, seemingly struggling against some powerful force. "Is the source code starting to self-destruct? I have emergency termination code here. Should I inject golden light?"

From the depths of the black vortex came the guardian's urgent voice: "Quickly... Inject the code!"

The source code is not the root of the meta-narrative of the Great Nothingness; it is a control program left behind by an 'ancient being' with the aim of devouring all existence with absolute nothingness and creating a new Great Nothingness order!

I am battling the consciousness of this ancient being, but it is too powerful. I need the termination code to help me freeze the energy of absolute nothingness!

Without hesitation, the merged entity infused the pale golden energy left by the observer into the golden light spot.

The moment the energy was fully injected, the golden light burst forth with dazzling light, and countless pale golden rays shot out from the light, heading into the depths of the black vortex.

The violent energy shockwave suddenly stopped, and the black energy in the black vortex began to freeze gradually, turning into transparent crystals. Only the guardian's golden-gray energy was still fighting against a certain consciousness deep within the crystals.

"Success!"

The fused entity's voice carried a hint of relief, but she soon discovered that an ancient rune was gradually emerging from the frozen black crystal—this rune belonged neither to the narrative of the Great Nothingness nor to the absolute void, but rather carried a more primal and mysterious aura, as if it were a symbol that existed since the beginning of the universe.

The guardian's voice came again, tinged with fear: "This is... the 'Primordial Origin Rune,' the carrier of the consciousness of that ancient being."

It was not frozen; instead, it used the energy of absolute nothingness to recombine its form!

If it successfully condenses, not only will absolute nothingness thaw, but all existence will be transformed into part of a new, chaotic state, where freedom will cease to exist!

The white light of the fused entity suddenly dimmed. As she looked at the gradually clearing Primordial Origin Runes in the black crystal, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression—this power was stronger than absolute nothingness and the Primordial Narrative, a power that could truly control existence and the fate of the Primordial.

The runes in the black crystal suddenly lit up, and a black ray of light shot out from the runes, heading towards the golden light spot.

Wherever the light passed, the frozen black energy began to thaw. The clones in the Void Army that had just regained consciousness showed signs of being controlled again, and black energy reappeared in their eyes.

"It's fighting back!"

The fusion entity poured all its white light into the energy barrier, attempting to block the black light. "Guardians, what should we do? The consciousness of the ancient being is too powerful. The termination code can only temporarily freeze absolute nothingness; it cannot stop it at all!"

From the depths of the black vortex came the guardian's resolute voice: "I will completely merge with the absolute nothingness, and use the power of the perfect primordial form to perish together with the consciousness of the ancient being!"

But the price for doing so is that I will completely disappear, and all the Guardian clones will lose consciousness and return to the original state of nothingness.

"Fused entity, you need to return to the protective shield of the new narrative, carrying the golden light, and use the memories within it to reawaken the unconscious of existence, preventing it from being controlled by the consciousness of the ancient beings."

The fused entity's white light flickered violently. She didn't want the guardian to sacrifice himself, but she knew it was the only way at the moment.

She looked at the increasingly clear Primordial Origin Runes within the black crystal, then glanced at her clones gradually being affected by the black energy, gritted her teeth, and made a decision: "I will fulfill your request and protect the Primordial Consciousness that exists."

But you must remember, no matter what happens, never give up. We have many parallel universe counterparts, and many unfinished explorations in the vast universe. You can't just disappear like this!

The guardian's voice carried a hint of gentleness as the golden-gray energy within the black vortex began to merge with the frozen black energy, forming a massive golden-black ball of light: "Thank you, fusion body."

The future of our existence is in your hands.

If one day the Primordial Origin Rune reappears, remember to find the fragment of the Guardian's avatar's consciousness; the method to awaken me lies within it…

As the sound gradually faded, the golden-black light cluster suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, colliding with the Primordial Origin Runes within the black crystal.

At the moment of collision, the entire black vortex began to contract, and the frozen black energy, the golden-gray perfect primordial energy, and the ancient primordial origin runes were all absorbed into the ball of light, forming a huge energy sphere.

The merged entity knew that the Guardians were engaged in a final battle against the consciousness of an ancient being.

Without pausing, she rushed towards the exit of the black vortex, carrying golden light spots—she needed to return to the light shield of the new narrative as soon as possible, using the memories within the light spots to protect the ancient consciousness that existed, and await the possible return of the guardian.

Just as she was about to burst out of the black vortex, the energy sphere suddenly emitted a loud bang, and countless golden and black fragments shot out from the energy sphere, heading towards various parallel universes.

One of the fragments landed precisely in the white light of the fused entity—the fragment contained the guardian's consciousness fluctuations and a tiny rune of primordial origin, as if it were the guardian's last clue, or a remnant trace of an ancient being's consciousness.

The fused entity gripped the fragments and burst out of the black vortex.

She looked back at the shrinking energy sphere, her heart filled with both hope and worry—hope that the Guardian would successfully perish together with the consciousness of the ancient being, and worry that the Primordial Origin Runes within the fragments would become a new crisis.

At the center of the energy sphere, the guardian's consciousness is fiercely battling against the consciousness of an ancient being.

He could feel his consciousness gradually fading away, but he did not give up. He left his own imprint of consciousness in the fragments, as well as the weakness of the ancient origin runes. As long as the fusion body can find these clues, one day in the future, it will be able to awaken him again and completely eliminate the threat of the ancient beings.

The energy sphere eventually shrank into a tiny point of light and disappeared into the void.

The black vortex dissipated, leaving only a chaotic void.

The merged entity stood in the void, looking at the golden light and the golden-black fragments in her hand, her belief strengthened—she would carry these hopes back to the light shield of the new narrative, protect the future of existence, and await the return of the guardian.

But unbeknownst to her, in the deepest recesses of the void, a tiny rune of primordial origin was flickering, and an ancient rune of primordial origin was emerging on its surface:

"The cycle of nothingness never ends; the consciousness of the origin will eventually return..."

This line of runes, like a prophecy, foreshadows that the ancient explorations to come will be fraught with even more ancient and dangerous crises, and the sacrifice of the guardians may just be the beginning of a new chapter in this long journey.
