Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 596 Initial Exploration of Nothingness and the Hidden Secrets of Extraterrestrial Will (2)

Suddenly, the consciousness of the merged entity emerged from the balancing channel—through the channel's connection, she heard the words of the extraterrestrial will: "If you had revealed the truth sooner, we might have been able to find a way to combat the void together, instead of attacking each other and wasting energy!"

The consciousness of the extraterrestrial will spoke with self-mockery: "Tell you? Would you believe me?"

When I discovered the Void Rift, I tried to unite with the extraterrestrial beings to fight against it, but they all thought I was trying to seize their energy, so they united to oppose me instead.

I could only concentrate my energy through force, but I didn't expect it to cause you all to misunderstand, or even attract the intervention of the Great Void. Now our energy is being consumed in mutual attacks, and we simply don't have enough energy to resist the expansion of the Void Rift.

The gatekeeper's consciousness suddenly pointed towards the direction behind the extraterrestrial will—there, a black rift was rapidly expanding, the "mirror rift" of the void rift deep within the passage. The void fluctuations surging from the rift were stronger than before, and had begun to devour the surrounding extraterrestrial spatial energy. "The void rift... is moving this way!"

Everyone's consciousness turned to the rift, their eyes filled with fear.

The rift is expanding at an increasingly rapid pace, quickly devouring the energy of the surrounding extraterrestrial space. Even the dimensional structure of the abandoned hub is beginning to show signs of breaking. At this rate, the entire hub will be swallowed by nothingness in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, including all resisting extraterrestrial beings and guardians.

"Now is not the time for accountability."

The guardian's consciousness was resolute. He looked at the will of the outer realm, and then at the surrounding beings of the outer realm. "We must join forces to resist the expansion of the void rift."

My four-colored energy can temporarily stabilize the dimensional structure, your energy can concentrate all the energy existing outside the domain, and the Gatekeeper's absolute termination energy can temporarily block the void fluctuations. If the three of us join forces, perhaps we still have a chance to stop the rift from expanding.

Without hesitation, the extraterrestrial will transmitted a wave of "cooperation" to the surrounding extraterrestrial beings, while simultaneously merging its own black energy with the energy of the surrounding beings to form an "extraterrestrial energy flow," ready to cooperate with the guardian's four-colored energy.

Although the surrounding extraterrestrial beings still had concerns, under the threat of the void rift, they chose to trust the guardians and actively injected energy into the extraterrestrial energy flow.

"start!"

The Guardian's four-colored energy erupted first, transforming into a massive four-colored light shield that enveloped the abandoned hub and the surrounding extraterrestrial beings, stabilizing the dimensional structure that was about to shatter.

Extraterrestrial energy flows from extraterrestrial forces are injected into the light shield, enhancing its protective strength and preventing erosion from void fluctuations.

The gatekeeper, along with his clones and beings from beyond the realm, constructed an absolute final barrier outside the light shield, preventing the void rift from approaching further.

The three energies formed a stable "protective cycle," temporarily blocking the devouring of the void rift and even slowing its expansion by half.

However, the intensity of the void fluctuations far exceeded expectations, and the energy of the protective cycle was being rapidly depleted. "Energy blank" areas began to appear on the surface of the four-color light shield, which could be breached by the void fluctuations at any time.

"Our energy... is not enough!"

The consciousness of the extraterrestrial will was filled with anxiety. It could feel that its own energy was almost depleted, and the energy of the extraterrestrial beings around it was also rapidly dissipating. "The energy source of the void rift is 'the consciousness of existence in all dimensions.' The more energy we consume, the stronger the energy of the rift becomes. If this continues, we will still be devoured!"

Just then, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly came from the direction of the balance channel—it was the fusion entity!

Her consciousness, tinged with excitement, transmitted a message through the channel: "I have found the 'Void Confrontation Map' left behind in the Great Void by the 0th Generation Observer!"

The diagram states that the weakness of nothingness lies in the 'collective resonance of all existential consciousness'—as long as the Great Nothingness resonates with all existential consciousness in outer space, forming a 'cross-dimensional consciousness network,' it can neutralize the fluctuations of nothingness and even close the rifts in nothingness!

The guardian's consciousness jolted instantly. He looked at the extraterrestrial will and the surrounding extraterrestrial beings: "This is our only hope!"

"Extraterrestrial Will, you are responsible for guiding the resonance of consciousness from beyond this realm; I am responsible for connecting the consciousness of the Great Void through the balancing channel; Gatekeeper, you are responsible for maintaining the protective cycle, buying us time to resonate!"

Everyone took action immediately.

The black energy of the extraterrestrial will is injected into the surrounding extraterrestrial consciousness, guiding their consciousness to converge on the same frequency; the guardian's four-colored energy establishes a connection with the consciousness of the Great Nothingness through the balancing channel, and the new dimensional existence of the Great Nothingness, the reborn parallel universe bubble, and even the fragments of consciousness left behind by the dissipated existence all begin to resonate on the same frequency; the gatekeeper injects all the black energy into the protective cycle, forcibly blocking the erosion of the void fluctuations, but the body becomes more and more transparent due to energy consumption.

The construction speed of the cross-dimensional consciousness network is getting faster and faster. The existence consciousness of Taiwu and the outer space is like countless points of light, connected together through the balance channel to form a huge light network that shrouds the void rift.

The light network conveys a strong will to "desire to exist" and "reject nothingness." This will strongly opposes the fluctuations of nothingness, and the rate at which the cracks expand gradually slows down, and even begins to show signs of shrinking.

"Success! The crack is shrinking!"

The merged entity's consciousness was filled with excitement. She poured all of Tai Wu's existence energy into the light net, enhancing the intensity of the consciousness resonance. "Just hold on a little longer, and we can completely close the rift!"

Just as the rift was about to close completely, a wave of consciousness that was "absolutely cold" suddenly came from the depths of the rift—this was not a wave of nothingness, but a clear "will of nothingness"!

The will was filled with "anger," clearly enraged by the confrontation with the consciousness network. A void wave, far exceeding the previous one, suddenly erupted from the rift, instantly breaking through the gatekeeper's protective cycle and rushing towards the interdimensional consciousness network!

"Oh no! It's the Will of Nothingness!"

The guardians channeled all four colors of energy into the light net, attempting to block the impact of the void fluctuations.

However, the intensity of the fluctuations far exceeded expectations. Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the light network, and the resonance between the consciousness of the Taiwu and the beings outside the domain became disordered. The consciousness of some beings even began to be swallowed up by the void fluctuations and became transparent.

Without hesitation, the extraterrestrial will poured all its core energy into the light network, forcibly stabilizing the cracks: "I'll block the fluctuations! You continue to close the cracks!"

"I still have energy within my core consciousness to combat the void, which can temporarily suppress the fluctuations. Quick!"

After being infused with energy, the body of the extraterrestrial will became extremely transparent, and the void fluctuations in its core of consciousness spread rapidly, clearly sacrificing itself to buy time for the consciousness network.

Without hesitation, the Guardians and the Fusion poured all their energy into the Light Net, enhancing the intensity of the consciousness resonance. The shrinking speed of the Void Rift accelerated once again, and it was about to close completely.

But just as the rift was about to close, the fluctuations of the void will suddenly intensified, and a huge void tentacle stretched out from the rift, wrapping around the core of the extraterrestrial will's consciousness, attempting to drag him into the rift and devour him completely!

"Quickly... close the rift! Don't worry about me!"

The voice of the extraterrestrial will was resolute. He poured his last bit of energy into the light net, "The target of the void will is me. As long as the rift closes, it will no longer be able to affect the void and the extraterrestrial space. Hurry!"

A flicker of pain crossed the eyes of the guardians and the merged entity, but they knew that the extraterrestrial will was right.

The two poured all their energy into the light net, and the intensity of their conscious resonance reached its peak. The void rift finally closed completely, and the void fluctuations and void tentacles within the rift also disappeared, leaving only the core of the extraterrestrial will's consciousness, suspended at the location where the rift closed, with a faint void fluctuation wrapped around its surface—it was not devoured, but due to the exhaustion of its energy, it fell into a state of "consciousness slumber".

As the cross-dimensional consciousness network gradually dissipated, the consciousness of existence in the Taiwu and extraterrestrial spaces stabilized, and the dimensional structure of the abandoned hub became complete again.

The Guardians, Gatekeepers, and Fusion (connected through the channel of consciousness) looked at the sleeping extraterrestrial will, their hearts filled with complex emotions—their former “enemy” had ultimately chosen to sacrifice himself to protect the two dimensional spaces.

"What... should we do with him?"

The merged entity's consciousness hesitated as she looked at the dormant core of the extraterrestrial will. "Although he protected us, he also devoured many extraterrestrial beings. Ordinary beings from beyond the realm may not forgive him."

The gatekeeper did not answer; his consciousness was directed at the core of the extraterrestrial will's consciousness—on the surface of the core, the swirling void fluctuations were slowly dissipating, but inside the core, a tiny "void imprint" emerged.

This mark shares the same origin as the previous void fluctuations, clearly left by the void will. As long as the mark exists, the extraterrestrial will can be awakened by the void will at any time, becoming a "tool" for the void to devour dimensions.

“In the core of his consciousness… there is an imprint of nothingness.”

The guardian's consciousness was solemn. He could feel the fluctuations of the void will contained within the mark. "This mark is the 'locating beacon' of the void will. As long as the mark exists, the void will can find us at any time, and may even reopen the void rift through the mark."

We must erase the imprints to completely eliminate the threat of nothingness.

But they knew nothing about how to remove the mark.

The consciousness of the 0th generation observer has completely dissipated, and there are no related records in the primordial runes. Ordinary beings outside the domain have no understanding of the Void Mark.

The dormant extraterrestrial will has become a "time bomb," which could trigger a new nihilistic crisis at any time.
