Chapter 538: The Shield Crisis and Clues to its Origin
The fused entity, accompanied by golden light spots and golden-black fragments, swiftly traversed the chaotic void.
She could sense the direction of the new narrative shield, but she also noticed that the energy fluctuations of the shield were becoming weaker and weaker, as if it might break at any moment—that was the aftershock of the struggle between absolute nothingness and ancient consciousness, constantly impacting the structure of the shield.
"You must hold on!"
The fusion entity injected some white light into the golden-black fragment, attempting to accelerate its progress by leveraging the consciousness fluctuations of the guardian within the fragment. "Those who exist are too unconscious and still need the protection of the light shield. I cannot let the guardian's sacrifice be in vain!"
The fluctuations of consciousness within the fragment suddenly intensified, and a faint silver-gray ray of light shot out from the fragment, pointing towards a hidden node in the void—a "spatial shortcut" left by the Guardian, leading directly to the core of the new narrative shield and avoiding the residual black energy in the void.
Without hesitation, the merged entity followed the guidance of the silver-gray light and rushed towards the hidden node.
The moment her figure entered the node, the surrounding space suddenly distorted, and the next second, she appeared at the edge of the new narrative light shield—the scene before her made her heart sink instantly.
The surface of the light shield was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and countless streams of black energy seeped in from the cracks, slowly corroding the silver-gray energy of the light shield.
Inside the light shield, the originally stable parallel universe bubbles began to tremble irregularly, and black lines appeared on the surface of some bubbles, which were signs of being influenced by the consciousness of an ancient being.
"how so……"
The fused entity's voice trembled slightly. She could feel the core energy of the light shield rapidly dissipating. At this rate, the light shield would shatter completely in half an hour at most, exposing all parallel universes to the black energy in the void. "The guardians have clearly fought against the ancient beings, so why is the light shield still being corroded?"
Just then, the golden-black fragment suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, and the Primordial Origin Runes within the fragment began to flicker, resonating with the black energy in the cracks of the light shield.
A clear fragment of consciousness emanated from the fragments—the remnant consciousness of an ancient being, remotely manipulating the black energy in the void through runes to accelerate the shattering of the light shield.
"It's the Origin Rune from the fragment!"
The fusion entity immediately moved the fragment away from the light shield, and the resonance between the fragment and the black energy weakened instantly. The rate at which the cracks in the light shield expanded also slowed down significantly. "The consciousness of the ancient being was not completely devoured by the energy sphere. It is remotely controlling the black energy through the runes in the fragment, with the aim of completely destroying the New Narrative Devouring Light Shield!"
The fused entity looked at the fragment in its hand, caught in a dilemma—the fragment contained both the guardian's consciousness imprint, which could provide crucial clues, and the remnants of an ancient being's consciousness, which would accelerate the shattering of the light shield.
If the fragments are destroyed, the only clue to awakening the guardian will be lost; if the fragments are kept, the protective shield will eventually be corroded by the black energy, plunging all existence into crisis.
"We must find a way to extract the Origin Runes from the fragments."
The fusion entity placed the golden light spot at the core of the light shield. The energy in the light spot merged with the silver-gray energy of the light shield, temporarily stabilizing the expansion of the crack. "The golden light spot contains the memory of the 0th experiment. Perhaps it contains information about the Primordial Origin Rune, which can help me find a way to peel it off."
The fusion entity infused white light into the golden light spots, and countless memory images appeared on the surface of the light spots—these images were clearer than before, not only containing the process of the 0th experiment, but also recording the research of the 0th generation observers on the Taiwu Origin Rune: the energy of the Taiwu Origin Rune originated from the "Taiwu Origin Land". To remove the rune, it was necessary to wrap the rune with "Primal Taiwu Energy" to sever its connection with the ancient consciousness. The Primal Taiwu Energy was hidden in the laboratory ruins of the 0th experiment.
"The ruins of the laboratory for the 0th experiment..."
The fused entity's eyes suddenly lit up. She remembered the memory fragments she had seen in the Void Labyrinth—the laboratory of the 0th generation Observer was hidden in a "Forgotten Space" connected to the Void Core. That space was sealed in a corner of the void due to the explosion of the low-level 0 experiment. "As long as we find the Forgotten Space, we can obtain the Primal Primal Energy and peel off the Origin Runes from the fragments!"
Just then, a violent tremor came from inside the light shield.
The merged entity turned its head and saw that the guardian clones that had been following her had suddenly become abnormal—black patterns reappeared in their eyes, and their bodies began to move uncontrollably toward the cracks in the light shield, as if they wanted to actively break out of the light shield and merge into the black energy in the void.
"The clones have been controlled again!"
The fused entity immediately rushed towards the clones, injecting white light into their bodies in an attempt to dispel the black patterns. "The consciousness of the ancient being is not only manipulating the black energy, but also influencing the consciousness of the clones through the cracks in the light shield, turning them into tools to destroy the light shield!"
But this time, the effect of the white light was significantly weakened.
The black patterns in the clones' eyes only disappeared briefly before reappearing. Some clones even began attacking the fused entity, trying to prevent her from stabilizing the light shield.
"No, this is not the way to go."
While dodging the attacks of the clones, the fused entity pondered a countermeasure: "We must find the primordial primordial energy as soon as possible and extract the origin runes from the fragments, otherwise the clones will be completely controlled, and the light shield will be destroyed by them!"
The fused entity made a decision: she embedded the golden light spots into the core of the light shield, using the energy of the light spots to temporarily suppress the abnormality of the clone, while simultaneously setting up a protective array on the surface of the light shield to slow down the infiltration of black energy.
After doing all this, she gripped the golden-black fragment tightly and rushed towards the forgotten space in the void—the location she had found in the memories of the golden light, and her only hope at the moment.
On the way to the Forgotten Space, the black energy in the void grew increasingly dense, and countless black rays of light shot towards the fusion from all directions, attempting to stop her progress.
The fusion condensed the white light into a solid protective layer, while using the guardian's consciousness fluctuations within the fragments to avoid the attack of the black light—the guardian's consciousness imprint seemed to be able to sense the trajectory of the black light, opening a safe path for her.
After half an hour of travel, the fused entity finally arrived at the entrance to the Forgotten Space—a pale golden crack. The crack was filled with an aura similar to that of the Primordial Primordial Energy. The space around the crack was not corroded by the black energy, but instead presented a pure Primordial state. It was the Primordial Primordial Energy left over from the 0th experiment protecting the entrance.
"right here!"
The fused entity's voice carried a hint of excitement as she rushed into the pale golden crack without hesitation.
The moment they entered the rift, the surrounding space suddenly brightened. It was no longer a chaotic void, but a huge laboratory—the ruins of the laboratory for the 0th experiment. Countless runes of primordial nothingness were engraved on the walls of the laboratory, and fragments of instruments left over from the experiment were scattered on the ground. On the experimental table in the center, a faint trace of primordial primordial nothingness energy still remained.
The fused entity rushed toward the experimental table. She could sense the residual primordial primordial energy on the table. Although weak, it was purer than the energy in the pale golden crack, and it was the energy needed to strip away the primordial origin runes.
"Finally found!"
The fusion entity placed the golden-black fragment on the experimental table and enveloped it with the primordial primordial energy remaining on the table. The primordial origin runes within the fragment suddenly flickered violently, attempting to break free from the energy's envelopment and connect with the ancient consciousness in the void.
"Don't try to escape!"
The fusion injected more white light into the primordial primordial energy, and the area enveloped by the energy gradually expanded, completely severing the connection between the runes and the ancient consciousness.
The rune's flickering grew weaker and weaker until it finally transformed into a black dot of light, separating from the fragments and hovering above the experimental table.
The moment the runes were stripped away, the golden-black fragment burst forth with a dazzling silver-gray light, and the guardian's consciousness imprint within the fragment became clear—a complete fragment of consciousness emanated from the fragment, recording the method to awaken the guardian: all the consciousness fragments of the guardian's clones need to be collected, fused with the golden-black fragment, and then injected with primordial primordial energy, in order to reawaken the guardian's complete consciousness in the Land of Primordial Origin.
"To awaken the Guardians, we need to go to the Land of Nothingness..."
