Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 724 Signs of a Reset Appear (1)

The balancing energy pillar at the origin of chaos emitted a soft golden light, and the golden and black light stream of the fused entity floated beside the pillar, with energy resonating with the balancing core swirling around the fingertips.

Despite having just resolved the erosion crisis, the message from the initial will—that of the "Lord of Reset"—still kept her consciousness on edge.

That silvery-gray "reset energy" was like a lurking venomous snake, ready to strike at any moment.

"Amalgam, are you worried about the Lord of Reset?"

The black and white light of the new consciousness slowly approached, and fragments of the first Lord of Chaos's memories flickered faintly within his body.

“I searched through all the forbidden memories but found no detailed records about the Lord of Reset. It only mentioned that ‘Reset energy can erase all existence, and only the original imprint of the initial will can temporarily resist it.’”

A wary ripple spreads within the gatekeeper's golden-black energy, and the seed of destruction resonates with the pillar of balancing energy:

"The energy fluctuations in the core dimension have returned to normal, but I still feel that something is not right."

In the unknown realms at the edge of the universe, an invisible force seems to be pulling at the balance of energy.

A pale blue stream of light, initially ethereal and ethereal, circled the memory crystal tower, and the memory energy resonated with the crystals within the tower:

"I found a broken video in the memory crystal. The video mentioned that 'the Lord of Reset awakens once every billion years and resets three universes that have reached the peak of balance.'"

Our universe is one of the three universes chosen this time.

A hint of seriousness flashed in the merged entity's eyes: "Three universes? That means there are two other universes also facing a reset crisis?"

"Yes."

The initial void remnant brought up a damaged image, in which the outlines of two other universes could be vaguely seen, one covered by pale blue ocean energy, and the other shrouded in dark red flame energy.

"These two universes are the 'Ocean Balance Universe' and the 'Flame Balance Universe,' and their balancing energies are similar to our universe. Both are targets of the Lord of Reset."

Just then, the balancing energy pillar suddenly burst out with a chaotic light, and the runes on the pillar began to flash rapidly, displaying energy images of the edge of the universe.

In the image, the silver-gray energy of the unknown domain is condensing into a huge energy vortex. At the center of the vortex, a blurry silver-gray figure is slowly opening its eyes. It is the Lord of Reset.

"The Lord of Reset is about to awaken!"

The fused golden and black energy instantly coalesced. "We must immediately find the balance guardians of the other two universes, unite their power, and perhaps we will still have a chance to fight against the Reset Lord!"

The initial wisp of nothingness immediately mobilized memory energy to construct a trans-universe channel in the void:

“Memory energy can locate the coordinates of two other universes, but the inter-universe channel can only be maintained for one hour. We must set off as soon as possible.”

Without hesitation, the four entered the inter-universe passage one by one.

Inside the passage, energy fluctuations were intense, and cosmic energies of various colors intertwined to form dazzling bands of light.

After half an hour of travel, they finally arrived at the Ocean Balance Universe.

The scenery here is completely different from their universe. The entire universe is covered by a pale blue ocean, with countless water columns shuttling through the void, forming a unique ocean energy system.

In the distance, a colossal palace made of crystal floats in the center of the ocean; it is the core of the Ocean Balance Universe, the Ocean Balance Palace.

Before the palace, a pale blue stream of light floated silently, radiating a rich energy of ocean balance—the very guardian of the ocean's balanced universe, Canglan.

Upon seeing the four arrive, Canglan's light flow slowly turned around, his eyes filled with wariness:

Who are you? Why have you intruded into my universe?

"We are the balance guardians from the Balance Universe, and we have come to warn you of the crisis facing the Lord of Reset."

The fusion released golden-black energy, demonstrating its balanced properties.

"The Lord of Reset is about to awaken. He will reset all universes that have reached the pinnacle of balance. We need to unite to fight him."

A hint of surprise flashed in Canglan's eyes, and energy fluctuations rippled within the pale blue light stream:

"The Lord of Reset? I also sensed the abnormal energy in the unknown domain, but I thought it was just my imagination. I didn't expect it to be a real crisis."

He led the four into the Ocean Balance Hall, where the crystal walls displayed a map of the ocean's cosmic energy distribution.

“My Ocean Balance Core can resonate with your Initial Balance Source Core, but to unite the power of the three universes, we still need to find Flame Ember, the guardian of the Flame Balance Universe.”

Canglan mobilized ocean energy to construct a passage within the palace leading to a universe of balanced flames:

"The environment of the Flame Balance Universe is extremely harsh, filled with erupting volcanoes and flowing lava. Be careful."

The four thanked Canglan and entered a new inter-universe passage.

This time, the passage was filled with scorching energy, and the surrounding space rippled with distortion.

As soon as I stepped out of the passage, a strong wave of heat hit me.

As Canglan had predicted, the Flame Balance Universe was indeed covered by dark red magma, with countless volcanic eruptions forming a rain of fire in the void, the temperature high enough to melt ordinary consciousness.

At the heart of the Flame Balance Universe is an erupting supervolcano. At the volcano's summit, a dark red stream of light floats amidst the flames, surrounded by Flame Balance energy—this is the guardian, Flame Ember.

He sensed the arrival of the four people, and a wary flame flickered within the dark red light:

"Outsider, leave my universe!"

"Ember Guardians, we've come to join you in fighting against the Lord of Reset!"

The fused entity released golden-black energy to resist the surrounding high temperature. "The Lord of Reset is about to awaken. He will reset our universe. Only by uniting the power of the three universes can we have a chance to stop him!"

The flames of Flame Ember paused slightly, clearly aware of the presence of the Lord of Reset:

“I sensed the threat from the unknown domain long ago, but the energy of the Flame Balance Universe can only operate in high-temperature environments and cannot leave my universe. Even if we unite, it won’t be of much help.”

"No, our core energies can merge."

The fused entity extracted the initial equilibrium source core, and the golden-black energy emitted a soft glow.

"Your Flame Balance Core, Canglan's Ocean Balance Core, and my Initial Balance Source Core, when combined, can form the 'Three-Color Balance Seal,' which may be able to temporarily resist the Reset Lord's Resetting Energy."

After a moment of contemplation, Yan Jin sent a stream of dark red light toward the core of fire balance at the top of the volcano:

“Alright, I believe you. But the Flame Balance Core will weaken rapidly once it leaves the high-temperature environment. We must return to your universe as soon as possible and build the Three-Color Balance Seal there.”

Yan Jin took out the Flame Balance Core, a crystal burning with dark red flames and radiating scorching energy.

The five immediately returned to the Balanced Universe through the inter-universe portal, with only a quarter of an hour remaining before the initial portal closed.

Returning to the origin of chaos, Canglan also arrived through the passage.

The three guardians placed their core energy in front of the balancing energy pillar, and the gold-black, light blue, and dark red energies intertwined to form a huge energy seal.

On the seal, runes of three colors flashed continuously, radiating a powerful balancing energy.

"The Three-Color Balance Seal can only temporarily resist the Lord of Reset, but cannot completely eliminate him."

The pale blue light stream from Canglan carried a hint of worry.

"The essence of resetting energy is 'erasing existence'."

Our balancing energy can only delay, not stop.

The dark red light stream of Yan Jin also turned solemn:

"My fire energy can burn all energy, but it can only be slowly erased when faced with reset energy. It seems we can only prepare for the worst."

Just then, the balancing energy pillar suddenly burst forth with a strong silver-gray light, and the runes on the pillar revealed images of an unknown domain.

The Lord of Reset has fully awakened. The silver-gray energy vortex has expanded to tens of thousands of kilometers, and a huge silver-gray energy beam shoots out from the vortex, heading towards the Balanced Universe.

"The energy beam resets! Activate the three-color balance seal immediately!"
