Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 680 The Awakening of the Primordial Consciousness of Chaos and the Choice of the Law of Bala

In the void of the origin of chaos, the energy vortex in the direction of the dark domain continues to expand, and the outline of consciousness at the center of the vortex gradually becomes clear.

It was a humanoid silhouette composed of countless tiny black light threads, surrounded by primordial energy of the same origin as the chaotic space. Every energy fluctuation rewrote the laws of the surrounding space, and even the light rays were distorted into irregular trajectories beside the silhouette.

The fused entity gripped the balance key tightly. The silver light on the key's surface trembled slightly due to the influence of the primordial energy. She could clearly sense that the balancing energy of the Chaos Stone was resonating weakly with the primordial consciousness, as if responding to the awakening of this ancient power.

"The awakening of the primordial consciousness of chaos is three times faster than expected."

The consciousness energy of the Balance Guardian emanated from the Chaos Stone, carrying an unprecedented solemnity. "Its primordial energy can directly rewrite the laws of balance. Once it is fully awakened, all the defenses we have built will become ineffective, and even the core position of the Chaos Stone in terms of balance may be replaced."

A black phantom (whose consciousness had been restored from the first generation of guardians) hovered to the side, its body slightly transparent due to the suppression of the primordial energy: "The primordial consciousness of chaos is the 'root of laws' of the chaotic space. The first generation of the Lord of Chaos tried to seize its primordial energy, which is why he went mad and was sealed away."

Its consciousness has no distinction between good and evil, but only follows the laws of the 'primordial chaos'.

This means "survival of the fittest" or "the law of the jungle." Once it determines that the multidimensional group is "redundant," it will directly erase the entire multidimensional group.

The gatekeeper inserted the Absolute Termination Key into the core node of the defensive array, attempting to stabilize the laws of space with Absolute Termination energy:

"Could we suppress the primordial consciousness using the Ultimate Balance Array, just as we suppressed the Lord of Chaos?"

"No."

The Balance Guardian's consciousness energy carried a sense of helplessness: "The foundation of the Ultimate Balance Array is the 'existing balance law,' but the primordial consciousness can directly destroy this foundation. When the array patterns encounter its primordial energy, they will melt like ice and snow meeting fire. Not only will they be unable to suppress it, but they will also become nourishment for it to enhance its energy."

The leader of the red-spotted team retreated behind the Balancing Altar, installing the last batch of anti-plunder energy crystals on the altar's defensive structure.

"So, our only option is to retreat? Abandon the Origin of Chaos, abandon the Chaos Stones?"

"We cannot give up."

The fused entity's voice was resolute as she infused the Twin Origin Energy into the Balance Key. The key resonated strongly with the Chaos Stone, releasing a stream of energy interwoven with gold and silver, temporarily resisting the erosion of the Origin Energy.

"The Chaos Stone is the only balancing link between the multidimensional group and the chaotic space. Once it is abandoned, the laws of the two spaces will be completely chaotic. At that time, without the original consciousness taking action, we will be torn apart by the chaotic laws ourselves."

Just then, the outline of consciousness within the energy vortex suddenly stopped coalescing, and an ancient and calm voice echoed in the origin of chaos: "You... are the 'Maintainers of Balance'?"

The voice was devoid of emotion, yet it carried an undeniable authority, and every word resonated with the surrounding spatial laws.

The fused entity took a deep breath, stepped forward, and raised the balance key above its head, conveying a friendly signal of consciousness:

"We are the guardians of the multidimensional group and the maintainers of the balance of chaotic space."

We have no intention of being your enemy; we only hope that our two spaces can continue to maintain a balance, coexist, and not infringe upon each other.

The outline of consciousness remained silent for a moment, and the fluctuations of its primal energy gradually subsided:

"Balance... is the weakest link in the 'Primordial Chaos' law."

Back then, the chaotic space only had 'chaos' and no 'balance'. It was the birth of your multidimensional group that forcibly broke the original laws of chaos, thus forming the current balance.

Now, the primordial laws of chaos are reviving, and the laws of balance should naturally return to chaos.

"Balance is not something that can be forcibly broken, but rather something that forms naturally!"

The merged entity immediately refuted this, injecting fragments of memory of peaceful coexistence between the multidimensional group and the chaotic space into a consciousness signal and transmitting it to the original consciousness.

"The existence of two spaces makes chaos no longer monotonous and balance no longer fragile. This is not destruction, but evolution!"

The black filaments of light on the outline of consciousness trembled slightly, as if contemplating the words of the merged entity.

The energy vortex in the dark domain stopped expanding, and the erosion of primordial energy also temporarily ceased. The land of origin of chaos fell into a brief period of calm. This was the primordial consciousness weighing the trade-off between the "original source of chaos" and the "existing balance".

The black phantom suddenly realized something and transmitted a signal to the original consciousness:

"As the root of the laws, you should be able to sense the 'dark source rift' deep within the chaotic space."

The Dark Source Rift contains 'Chaotic Annihilation Energy', which can completely destroy chaotic space and multidimensional groups. Once the rift expands, even you will not be able to stop the destruction of the two spaces.

The existing balance law is the only force suppressing the Dark Source Rift; if the balance is lost, the rift will completely erupt within three days.

The fused being was startled. She had never heard of the Dark Source Rift or the Chaos Annihilation Energy. She turned to look at the black phantom, her eyes filled with doubt.

The black phantom immediately explained: "This is a secret passed down from the first generation of guardians. The Dark Source Rift is a 'destructive flaw' left when the Chaos Space was born. The Chaos Annihilation Energy is the 'nothingness energy' before the birth of the universe. Once released, any existence will be completely annihilated, and not even fragments of consciousness can remain."

The primordial energy of the consciousness outline suddenly fluctuated violently, clearly sensing the existence of the dark source rift:

"The energy of chaos and annihilation... is a void power outside of the 'primordial chaos,' and it does indeed threaten the existence of the chaotic space."

The existing balance mechanism... is indeed suppressing the expansion of the fissure.

For the first time, hesitation appeared in its consciousness: "But the laws of balance and the laws of primordial chaos are incompatible; they cannot coexist for long. A choice must be made. Should we preserve the balance and suppress the rift, or return to the primordial chaos and risk searching for a new method of suppression?"

This is a dilemma: preserving the balance means that the primordial laws of chaos will gradually dissipate, and the chaotic space may lose its "chaotic essence".

Returning to the primordial chaos means the disappearance of the laws of balance, the potential eruption of the dark source rift, and the destruction of both spaces.

The merged entity, the gatekeeper, the leader of the red light spot, and the black phantom all fell silent. This choice concerned the life and death of both spaces, and there was no room for error.

Suddenly, the guardian's consciousness energy transmitted: "I have a solution."

The golden light on the surface of the Chaos Stone surged, projecting an energy projection.

In the projection, the law of balance and the law of primordial chaos intertwine to form a new "law of chaotic balance," which has both the stability of balance and the vitality of chaos. "We can integrate the two laws to create a new law of chaotic balance."

This law can both maintain balance and suppress the dark source rifts, while preserving the essence of the primordial chaos, allowing both spaces to exist and mutually promote each other's evolution.

The black filaments of light on the outline of consciousness trembled violently, and the primordial energy resonated strongly with the balancing energy of the Chaos Stone:

"The fusion of laws... is an unprecedented attempt, and it may fail. The consequence of failure is that both laws will collapse simultaneously, and both spaces will be instantly reduced to nothingness."

"But this is the only chance."

The fused entity's voice was resolute as she poured all the energy of the Twin Origin, the Balance Key, the Absolute Termination, and the First Guardian into the Chaos Stone: "We are willing to take the risk and gamble on the future of both spaces."

Original consciousness, would you like to try it with us?
