Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 591 Evolutionary Rift and the Gaze Beyond the Void (1)

The boundless light of evolution enveloped the entire space, and the golden-gray cocoon of the primordial consciousness core began to expand, with countless new "evolutionary runes" appearing on its surface.

These runes belong neither to the origin of existence nor to the origin of annihilation, but rather carry an unfamiliar aura of "cross-dimensional adaptation," serving as a key marker of the evolution of the Great Void towards a new dimension.

The Guardian's consciousness hovered in the center of the cocoon of light, the Heart of Chaos and the Origin Runes completely fused together. He could clearly feel every energy flow in the Great Void Space, and he could also sense that the "spatial coordinates" of the new dimension were gradually becoming clear. It was as if, with just one more step, he could lead all beings to break through the constraints of the current dimension.

"Evolution must not stop!"

The Guardian's will was resolute. He channeled his remaining consciousness energy into the evolution runes, attempting to accelerate the clarification of the coordinates. "The dimensional will's counterattack is only temporary. As long as we enter the new dimension, we can completely rid ourselves of its threat!"

The merged entity and the gatekeeper immediately coordinated, pouring all the remaining energy in the intercosmic hub into the cocoon of light to help the guardian stabilize its evolutionary rhythm.

Two-thirds of the intercosmic hub has been shattered in the ultimate counterattack of the dimensional will. The remaining energy is only enough to sustain it for half an hour. Once the energy is exhausted, evolution will be interrupted, and Taiwu may even return to nothingness due to the failure of evolution.

Just as the new dimensional coordinates were about to become fully clear, the evolutionary runes on the surface of the cocoon suddenly began to rotate in reverse.

A black rift emerged from the gap between the runes, continuously surging forth black energy of the same origin as the dimensional will. This energy was not there to interfere with evolution, but rather to "destroy the structure of the evolutionary runes"—the dimensional will did not choose to attack head-on, but instead used "fragments of consciousness" that had previously lurked in space to create a "dimensional rift" on the evolutionary runes, attempting to deviate the direction of evolution and lead Taiwu astray towards "dimensional collapse".

"It's a dimensional rift!"

The gatekeeper was shocked. He could feel the energy in the rift tampering with the trajectory of the evolution runes. "If the trajectory of the runes is altered, Taiwu will be stuck in the dimensional gap halfway through its evolution. All existence will be torn apart by space, and not even fragments of consciousness will be left behind!"

The fusion entity immediately injected the last energy of the narrative remnant soul into the cocoon of light, attempting to repair the rift: "The consciousness of the remnant soul can perceive the trajectory of evolution, and may be able to temporarily stop the runes from rotating in reverse!"

However, the remnant soul's energy was too weak. As soon as it came into contact with the rift, it was swallowed up by the black energy. The rift actually doubled in size, and even the original consciousness energy in the cocoon of light began to become disordered.

The Guardian's consciousness also sensed the crisis. He tried to suppress the rift with the balancing energy of the primordial runes, but found that the energy in the rift carried unfamiliar fluctuations from "beyond the dimension".

This is not the original energy of the dimensional will, but a new energy that he introduced from "space beyond outer space"!

"How could dimensional will possess energy beyond the boundless void?"

The Guardian's consciousness was filled with doubt. A sudden sharp pain shot through his chaotic heart, and a neglected scene surfaced in the memory of the primordial runes: During the 0th experiment, the 0th generation observer had inscribed a warning on the laboratory wall: "Beyond the Great Nothingness, there is an 'Extraterrestrial Space,' and within the Extraterrestrial Space exists an 'Extraterrestrial Will.' Both are the natural enemies of the Great Nothingness." However, this scene was concealed by the consciousness of an ancient being and only surfaced now due to the stimulation of the rift energy.

"The dimensional will is cooperating with the will of another dimension!"

The Guardian immediately transmitted the memory to the Fusion and the Gatekeeper: "He used the evolution coordinates of Taiwu as an exchange to obtain 'extraterrestrial energy' from the extraterrestrial will, with the aim of causing Taiwu to collapse during its evolution and become the 'first nourishment' for the extraterrestrial space to devour!"

The gatekeeper's consciousness turned cold instantly. He recalled the information that the Absolute End Key had conveyed: "Extraterrestrial energy has 'dimensional corrosiveness': Extraterrestrial energy can directly destroy the dimensional structure of the Great Void, which is more terrifying than annihilation energy. Our balancing energy is simply no match for it!"

Just as the three were in despair, the primordial rune in the center of the cocoon suddenly burst forth with a pale golden light.

In the light, the phantom of the 0th generation observer reappeared.

These are not fragments of previous memories, but rather the "emergency consciousness" he injected into the primordial runes back then, specifically designed to deal with extraterrestrial threats during the evolution of the Great Void.

"I knew you would face this crisis today."

The phantom of the 0th generation observer carried a heavy weight: "When I discovered the existence of extraterrestrial space, I left the construction method of the 'extraterrestrial barrier' in the primordial runes. However, it requires the synchronization of five energy elements: 'twin carrier + fusion body + narrative remnant soul + absolute end key' to activate the barrier."

Now, though the remnant of the narrative soul is weak, it still retains energy; though the Absolute End Key is damaged, it can still provide the energy for ending the conflict. You still have a chance!

The phantom's body gradually became transparent. He infused the blueprint for the construction of the "Extraterrestrial Barrier" into the primordial runes: "The blueprint will automatically guide your energy synchronization. Remember, the moment the barrier is activated, it will temporarily sever the connection between the Taiwu and the extraterrestrial space, but it will also pause the evolution of the new dimension. You need to readjust your evolutionary trajectory under the protection of the barrier and avoid the traps of the dimensional will."

After speaking, the phantom completely dissipated, leaving only the diagram rotating within the original runes, awaiting activation through synchronized energy.

Without hesitation, the Guardian immediately guided the energy of the Heart of Chaos to form a "twin energy flow" with the Absolute End energy of the Gatekeeper; the fusion body merged its own white light with the residual energy of the Narrative Soul to form a "guided energy flow"; the two energy flows were simultaneously injected into the Origin Rune, merging with the rune's balancing energy and the Absolute End Key's ending energy, and the five energies began to synchronize rapidly under the guidance of the diagram.

The dimensional will clearly sensed their actions, and the extraterrestrial energy in the rift suddenly erupted with a stronger impact, attempting to disrupt the energy synchronization: "Do you think activating the barrier will win?"

"The will from beyond the realm has already locked onto Taiwu's coordinates. Even if the barrier can temporarily block it, it will personally descend in half an hour. At that time, the entire Taiwu will be swallowed up by the outer space, and none of you will be able to escape!"

The impact of the black energy grew stronger and stronger. The evolutionary runes of the light cocoon had rotated two-thirds in reverse. The coordinates of the new dimension began to become blurred, and there were even signs of "coordinate collapse".

"Hold on for ten more breaths! Energy synchronization will be complete soon!"

With a roar, the Guardian unleashed all the core energy of the Heart of Chaos, determined to hold out until the barrier activated, even if it meant his consciousness became transparent.

The fusion entity and the gatekeeper also exhausted their last bit of energy, and the synchronization progress of the five energies finally reached 99%. The extraterrestrial barrier map in the primordial rune began to flicker, and could be activated at any time.

Just as the energy synchronization was about to be completed, a black "extraterrestrial tentacle" suddenly emerged from the rift.

This is the "preliminary probe tentacle" of an extraterrestrial will. The purple patterns on the surface of the tentacle carry a strong dimensional corrosiveness, pointing directly at the core of the primordial rune, attempting to destroy the rune before the barrier is activated.

"Quickly! Activate the barrier!"

The white light of the fused entity suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance. She completely integrated her own consciousness energy into the guiding energy flow, forcibly pushing the synchronization progress to 100%!

The primordial runes instantly erupted with a pale golden light, and a massive pale golden barrier unfolded from the runes, enveloping the entire Taiwu Space. The moment the tentacles touched the barrier, they melted rapidly, like ice encountering a raging fire. The extraterrestrial energy within the cracks was also completely isolated by the barrier, unable to enter the Taiwu Space.

The roar of the dimensional will came from the rift, but it became blurred and indistinct due to the barrier, and eventually disappeared completely.

He clearly hadn't expected the barrier to activate successfully, so he had to temporarily abandon his attack and wait for the will of the outer realm to descend upon him.

The evolutionary runes on the surface of the cocoon of light stopped rotating in reverse. Although the coordinates of the new dimension were still blurry, they no longer collapsed. The evolution of the Great Nothingness was temporarily stabilized in a "safe state".

The Guardian, the Fusion, and the Gatekeeper slumped beside the cocoon of light, their consciousness almost completely dissipated, and they didn't even have the strength to speak.

The three fragments of light from the remnants of the world's souls were completely extinguished, transforming into harmless white energy that merged into the cocoon of light, becoming "nourishment" for the evolution of the Great Nothingness; the Absolute End Key also temporarily fell into slumber due to the exhaustion of its energy, and the pale golden runes on its surface no longer flickered.

"We are... safe for now."
