Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 687 The Warning from the Interdimensional Messenger and the Crisis of the Balance Anchor (2)

"The core fragments of the Primordial Ruins were not destroyed, but were merely enveloped in void energy. My energy can help you locate the fragments."

The light particles of the Void Messenger extended toward the Dark Source Rift. "But the fragments deep within the Dark Source Rift are guarded by the 'Vanguard Erosion Entity of Dimensional Devouring Energy,' which is a consciousness clone released in advance by the devouring energy. Its energy intensity far exceeds that of all the enemies you have encountered before. You need to be fully prepared."

The law monitor suddenly issued a sharp alarm. The energy deviation of the law anchor point suddenly intensified, and the runes on the tower began to show signs of fading. In the star map projected by the Sky Messenger, a familiar black energy fluctuation suddenly appeared next to the trajectory of devouring energy. It was the residual fluctuation of the fragment of the Lord of Chaos's consciousness!

"What happened? Weren't the fragments of the Lord of Chaos completely purified?"

The fused entity's face instantly turned pale. She pulled up the energy source map of the anchor point and discovered that the energy deviation of the anchor point not only came from the signal of the Void Messenger, but also mixed with a deeply hidden annihilation energy.

"It's the 'residual imprint of consciousness' from the fragment! Before it was purified, it had already inscribed the imprint on the runes of the anchor point, and now it's been activated by the erosion signal of the devouring energy!"

The light particles of the Void Messenger fluctuated violently, releasing neutral, balanced energy in an attempt to suppress the annihilating energy of the Imprint:

"The residual imprint of consciousness and the erosion signal of the devouring energy have created a 'resonance.' This resonance will accelerate the damage to the anchor point. At most, the anchor point will completely collapse in half an hour, and the global sealing array will shrink by half its coverage area!"

The gatekeeper immediately fused the Absolute Termination Energy with the Law Energy, transforming it into a stream of golden-black light, which was then injected into the rune core of the anchor point:

"I will suppress the resonant energy. Fusion body, you use the energy of the Annihilation Sealing Stone to purify the residual imprints of consciousness! Origin consciousness, you mobilize the energy of the entire domain sealing array to stabilize the structure of the anchor point and prevent collapse!"

Everyone acted immediately, and the gatekeeper's golden-black light stream successfully suppressed the spread of the resonant energy.

The energy of the laws of primordial consciousness surged into the anchor point along the sealing array network, and the runic light on the tower gradually stabilized; the fused entity affixed the Annihilation Sealing Stone to the surface of the anchor point, and the pale golden purifying energy quickly cleared away the black residual marks of consciousness along the runic patterns.

Half an hour later, the residual imprint of consciousness was completely purified, the energy deviation of the law anchor point returned to normal, and the alarm of the monitoring device finally stopped.

However, no one relaxed in the slightest. The residual consciousness of the Lord of Chaos could resonate with the devoured energy, which meant that there was some unknown connection between the two. This undoubtedly laid a more dangerous foundation for the future crisis.

The light particles of the Void Messenger stabilized again, and he transmitted a clear message of consciousness to the fused entity, containing the precise coordinates of the primordial relic fragments and the energy method to resist the corrosive entity:

“I cannot linger in your dimensional cluster for too long. There are other dimensions in the interdimensional alliance that require our attention. These are the coordinates of the fragments and the defense methods. You need to gather two core fragments within three years to build the basic framework for the anti-devouring barrier. The eroding entities are not only protecting the fragments, but also secretly accelerating the accumulation of annihilation energy in the dark source rift. Your time is running out.”

The merged entity solemnly received the message and nodded deeply to the Sky Messenger:

"Thank you for your warning and help. We will remember the kindness of the Interdimensional Alliance. If you need help in the future, we will do our best to help you."

The light particles of the Void Messenger flickered slightly, transforming into a pale blue stream of light that drilled into the spatial rift and disappeared into the void.

The moment the spatial rift closed, he left behind his last conscious signal:

"Behind the absorption of energy lies an even more hidden manipulator. Once you find the core fragment, you will discover more truths about 'dimensional balance'..."

The merged entity and the gatekeeper exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with a heavy yet resolute resolve. The warning from the interdimensional messenger unveiled a greater crisis: energy devouring, corrosive entities, hidden manipulators… A battle concerning the survival of all dimensions had quietly begun.

Upon returning to the land of origin of chaos, the fusion entity immediately convened an emergency meeting with all core members.

During the meeting, she informed everyone of the warning from the interdimensional messengers and the information about the core fragments, causing everyone's consciousness to fall into a solemn state.

"We need to form a 'cross-dimensional exploration team' and split into two groups."

The fusion entity brought up maps of the Primordial Ruins and the Dark Source Rift. "One route is led by me and the Gatekeeper to the ruins of the Primordial Ruins to find the first fragment."

Another route, led by the Chaos Witness and the recovered fragments of the black phantom's consciousness, headed to the edge of the Dark Source Rift to monitor the movements of the corrupted entity, preparing for the subsequent search for the second fragment.

The gatekeeper added, "I will reinforce the law protection of the Primordial Ruins in advance to prevent interference from the void energy; at the same time, I will optimize the energy output of the Absolute End Key to ensure that it can deal with any traps that may remain in the ruins."

The golden-black outline of primordial consciousness floated in the center of the meeting:

"I will remain in the Land of Origin to monitor the status of the global sealing array and the law anchor points, while also studying the defensive methods left behind by the interdimensional messengers to provide energy support for the exploration team."

As everyone prepared to split up, the Chaos Stone suddenly trembled violently, and a blurry energy projection appeared on its surface.

In the projection, deep within the Dark Source Rift, a massive black figure was slowly awakening, surrounded by a mixture of annihilation and devouring energy—the very "Dimensional Devouring Energy Vanguard Erosion Body" mentioned by the Void Messenger.

Behind the eroded body, within the void energy of the Dark Source Rift, a larger phantom with an aura of "control" vaguely emerged, clearly just the tip of the iceberg of the "hidden manipulator" mentioned by the Sky Messenger.

A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the merged being as she gripped the Annihilation Sealing Stone tightly in her hand:

"The exploration team will depart first thing tomorrow morning. No matter how many dangers lie ahead, we must find the core fragment and build an anti-devouring barrier. For the sake of the multidimensional cluster, for the sake of chaotic space, and for the balance of all adjacent dimensions, we cannot fail!"

In the void of the origin of chaos, the golden and black light of the global sealing array still protects the balance between the two spaces.

But the corrosive entity and the phantom of the manipulator deep within the Dark Source Rift are like lurking behemoths, waiting for the best opportunity to strike.

The exploration team's path ahead is fraught with unknowns and dangers, and what they are about to uncover is not only the secret of the core fragments, but also the ultimate truth concerning the survival of all dimensions.

Just how powerful is the Corrupting Entity? What is the true purpose of the hidden manipulator?

What kind of disruptive impact will the "truth of dimensional balance" mentioned by the cross-dimensional messenger bring?

These questions, like heavy shackles, weighed on the hearts of every guardian, yet they also became the driving force for moving forward.

In this battle to protect this land that transcends dimensions, they have no choice but to face the unknown and dangers, uncover all the truths step by step, and safeguard this land of balance that they have won with their blood and sacrifices.
