Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 704 The Secrets of Extraterrestrial Runes (1)

The golden light of the fusion hovered in front of the memory crystal tower, and the initial balance energy gathered at its fingertips was slowly flowing along the barrier's patterns.

When she was building the barrier, she clearly sensed the strangeness of the corrosive runes.

Those dark purple patterns, seemingly suppressed, were actually quietly weaving new designs inside the barrier, like vines entwining the energy veins of the crystal tower.

"The flow rate of the initial equilibrium energy is slowing down."

The gatekeeper's illusory consciousness approached the barrier, and the seed of destruction within its body emitted rapid tremors.

“My seeds can sense that the runes are absorbing the energy of the surrounding space; they are trying to break through the energy nodes of the barrier.”

The black and white light of the new consciousness slowly enveloped the crystal tower, and the creative attribute of the initial consciousness intertwined with the destructive attribute of the first Chaos Lord, forming a probing light net.

The moment the light net touched the rune, the violent energy rebound caused ripples to spread across his stream of light:

“These runes are not static; they are ‘energy messengers’ from outer space, and each rune transmits coordinate information from outer space.”

If left unchecked, within three days, extraterrestrial entities will be able to locate our universe through runes.

The initial, ethereal, grayish-white light stream drifted to the top of the crystal tower. It had concealed the creative attributes of the initial consciousness and had a keen perception of energy disguise.

At this moment, the creative energy it released transformed into fine filaments of light, drilling into the gaps in the crystal tower:

"Within the memory core of the crystal tower, there remain the energy imprint of the chaotic final consciousness."

The runes used these markings to construct miniature energy channels within the tower. We must first remove the markings to sever the runes' connection to the outer space.

The merged entity nodded and injected the energy of the three dimensional hearts into the barrier.

The golden and white energy seeped into the crystal tower along the barrier's patterns, forming an energy vortex within the tower:

"I use the energy of the Heart of Dimension to restrain the runes, Gatekeeper, you use the Light of Balance to purify the imprint of the Memory Core, and the Remnants of the Primordial Void are responsible for protecting your safety."

Once the mark is removed, we will completely seal the rune with the initial balanced energy.

The gatekeeper's illusory consciousness transformed into a stream of golden-black light, piercing through the barrier and entering the crystal tower.

The memory crystals inside the tower emit a pale blue light, and each crystal records historical fragments of a multidimensional group.

However, at this moment, dark purple erosion runes have spread across the surface of the crystal, distorting the originally clear memory images and even revealing the desolate landscape of outer space.

The shattered planet floated in the darkness, all its energy swallowed by a dark purple mist, leaving only a lifeless void.

"These runes are altering the contents of the memory crystal."

The gatekeeper released a balancing light, a golden-black glow covering the crystal surface.

"If the altered memories are allowed to spread to other dimensions, the consciousnesses will mistakenly believe that outer space is a 'new equilibrium state,' and our universe will fall into chaos without the outer space actively invading."

The crystal tower trembled violently the instant the light of balance collided with the runes.

The runes on the tower walls lit up simultaneously, releasing a dark purple energy shockwave.

The gatekeeper was struck by the shockwave, cracks appeared in his stream of consciousness, and the Seed of Destruction within him resonated strongly with the runes. A wisp of dark purple energy seeped into his consciousness along the seed's energy channels.

"Oh no, the runes are using the energy of the Seed of Destruction to retaliate!"

The fusion entity outside the tower sensed the anomaly and immediately increased the energy output of the Dimensional Heart.

The barrier's golden-white light surged, temporarily suppressing the energy fluctuations of the runes:

"Gatekeeper, leave the Crystal Tower immediately! Your Seed of Destruction originates from the same source as Chaos Energy, and the runes can influence your consciousness through the seed!"

Just as the gatekeeper was about to retreat, the memory core suddenly erupted with a blinding dark purple light.

The chaotic finality consciousness imprint, originally hidden deep within the core, condensed into a black phantom under the nourishment of the runes.

The illusory figure lacked a complete consciousness, yet it possessed the destructive instinct of a chaotic end-of-life consciousness. It waved its hand, releasing black energy that blocked the gatekeeper's escape route.

"Initial Void Remnant, quickly use creative energy to support the gatekeeper!"

The fused entity's voice was filled with anxiety. She tried to mobilize more energy from the Dimensional Heart, but found that the runes inside the barrier suddenly accelerated their writhing, and dark purple energy began to erode the energy channels of the Dimensional Heart. "Damn it, the runes are interfering with the energy output of the Dimensional Heart!"

The initial ethereal, grayish-white light stream transformed into a beam of light, piercing through the barrier and shooting into the crystal tower.

The moment the creative energy struck the black phantom, the phantom suddenly split into countless tiny black light particles, which merged into the memory crystal.

Immediately afterwards, all the crystals covered by runes lit up simultaneously, releasing distorted waves of consciousness.

These fluctuations transformed into countless black light blades, attacking the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper was forced to unleash the full power of his Balance Light, and a shield of golden-black light formed in front of him.

However, as the number of light blades increased, the light of the defensive shield gradually dimmed, and dark purple corrosive energy seeped into his consciousness along the cracks in the shield:

"My consciousness is fading... The seed of destruction is guiding me to unleash destructive energy..."

Just then, the black and white light stream of the new consciousness suddenly merged into the barrier.

The creative energy of the initial consciousness intertwined with the destructive energy of the first Chaos Lord, forming a unique energy wave.

This energy wave is not offensive, but it can temporarily neutralize the effects of corrosive energy.

The black light blades inside the crystal tower froze instantly, and the blurriness in the gatekeeper's consciousness also lessened.

"This is the 'neutral energy' resulting from the fusion of initial consciousness and chaotic consciousness."

The new consciousness's voice was weary, "It can temporarily suppress the corrosive energy, but it can't last long."

"Goalkeeper, you'd better get out of here quickly; we must change our plans."

The gatekeeper nodded and transformed into a stream of golden-black light, rushing out of the crystal tower.

As soon as he left the tower, he collapsed beside the barrier, cracks flashing on the stream of consciousness, with dark purple corrosive energy coursing through them.

"The energy of runes is more bizarre than we imagine; they can use any energy related to chaos to grow themselves."

Continuing to forcibly purify with the Light of Balance will only cause the rune to absorb more energy.

The fused entity crouched down and injected the initial balancing energy into the guardian's stream of consciousness.

The corrosive energy within the crack, upon encountering the initial equilibrium energy, immediately dissipated as wisps of blue smoke.

"It seems we can't rely on confrontation; we must find the runes' weakness. Initial Void Remnant, when you infiltrated the Crystal Tower, did you discover the runes' energy source?"

The initial, ethereal, grayish-white light stream slowly rotated, its consciousness immersed in the memories of its previous exploration:

“Deep within the core of my memory, I sensed a faint spatial fluctuation. That fluctuation was completely different from the spatial energy of our universe; it was more like… a connection point between two spaces. The energy of the runes came from that connection point.”

"Connection point?"

The black and white light of the new consciousness trembled slightly. "Could it be that the extraterrestrial space has already opened a miniature spatial channel in our universe? If that's the case, the runes are just the 'guardians' of the channel; the real threat lies on the other side."

The fused entity stood up, its gaze fixed on the top of the memory crystal tower:

“Regardless of whether the passage exists, we must enter the memory core. Initial Void Remnant, can you infiltrate the crystal tower again and locate the connection point? This time, the new consciousness and I will use neutralizing energy to cover you and ensure that the runes cannot interfere with your actions.”

The initial ethereal remnant nodded, and the grayish-white light stream became more condensed:

"My creative energy originates from the same source as the initial balanced energy, and the runes have a weaker perception of creative energy. As long as there is neutral energy to cover me, I can locate the connection point within ten minutes."

The new consciousness infused neutralizing energy into the barrier, and the black and white energy formed a protective film on the barrier's surface:

"I will maintain the output of neutralizing energy to buy you time. Once the connection point is found, mark it immediately with creative energy. Do not attempt to destroy it, lest it trigger a spatial collapse."

The initial ethereal wisp of light transformed into a grayish-white lightning bolt, piercing through the barrier and entering the crystal tower.

This time, the neutralizing energy formed an energy shield around it, and although the dark purple runes still flickered, they were unable to release energy attacks.

It swiftly moves between the memory crystals, creating energy that transforms into fine filaments of light, constantly probing the energy fluctuations of the memory core.

Outside the tower, the merged entity and the new consciousness stared intently at the barrier.

Suddenly, the runes on the inner side of the barrier began to flicker violently, and dark purple energy condensed into a huge runic pattern, attempting to break through the neutralizing energy's protection:

"The outer space has detected it! They are increasing the energy output of the runes, trying to stop the remnants of the primordial void!"

The black and white light of the new consciousness rippled, and he poured more neutralizing energy into the barrier:

"I can't hold on much longer! How much longer will the Initial Void Remnant last?"
