Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 739 Turbulent Currents Conceal Mysteries (1)

The Ark of Life's energy engine roared shrilly due to the gravitational field of the spacetime turbulence ahead, and the emerald green porthole was covered with fine energy patterns, each one trembling slightly under the pull of the turbulence.

Inside the capsule, nearly half of the fused entity's six-colored light stream had been invaded by black patterns, and the light of the Ultimate Balance Key was as dim as a flickering candle, shining and dimming with the rise and fall of her consciousness. The cold laughter of the chaotic remnant soul echoed in everyone's consciousness, carrying a teasing tone like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Walking into our trap? You think you can stop us with just a remnant soul?" Yan Jin's dark red light slammed into the cabin wall, leaving scorched marks on the metal surface with its scorching energy. "Even if there are ten remnant souls hidden inside, we will crush them all!"

His fiery energy surged violently, but he deliberately restrained the temperature as he approached the fusion body, afraid of disturbing the fragile balance within her body.

A pale blue light stream from Canglan slowly rotated around the fused entity, ocean energy transforming into fine threads of light that attempted to entangle the black patterns, but each time they were corroded and dissolved by chaotic energy. "Impulsiveness won't solve anything."

His voice carried a restrained urgency, "The remnant soul of chaos is clearly stalling for time, and the erosion of the fused entity's consciousness is accelerating. We must find the origin of spacetime within half an hour, otherwise..."

He swallowed the rest of his sentence, but everyone in the cabin understood what it meant.

The black and white light stream of the new consciousness suddenly burst into tiny specks of light, and fragments of the first Lord of Chaos's memories flowed around the cabin like a revolving lantern.

In the scene, before the spacetime balance of the universe collapsed, the silver spacetime origin and the golden order origin intertwined at the core of the universe, forming two intertwined bands of light. "There is still missing information in the first generation's memories."

His voice suddenly became clear: "The origin of spacetime and the origin of order come from the same source, both originating from the initial energy of the ultimate balance core, and there is a 'resonance effect' between them."

The initial ethereal remnant of the merged light stream immediately approached the screen, bringing up the scan data of the spacetime turbulence.

On the screen, there were indeed scattered silver energy spots in the turbulence, but these spots were shrouded in black chaotic energy, making them appear and disappear intermittently.

"Are these fragments of the origin of spacetime?" His light gently touched the screen. "But they are shielded by chaotic energy, so we cannot locate the complete origin at all."

Just then, the fusion body suddenly let out a low groan, and the six-colored light stream contracted violently. Everyone turned to look and saw that the black patterns on the key were beginning to spread into the cabin. Wherever it passed, the metal cabin walls emitted a "sizzling" corrosion sound and wisps of black smoke.

The chaotic remnant soul's consciousness fluctuations resounded again, tinged with obvious smugness: "It's useless. The origin of spacetime has long been corrupted by me. Finding it will only accelerate your assimilation. You might as well obediently let me take over this body and suffer less pain."

"Shut up!" The initial void remnant suddenly released a strong energy fluctuation, and the void power pierced the chaotic remnant soul in the fused body like a sharp blade.

The fused entity's light stream trembled violently, and the black patterns temporarily stopped spreading, but her consciousness became even more blurred, and she almost let go of the key in her hand.

Before the balanced chaotic body dissipated, the three-colored energy that had merged into the key suddenly lit up, intertwining with the six-colored light of the key to form a faint light shield, barely blocking the spread of the chaotic energy.

The black and white light stream of the new consciousness suddenly froze, and a blurry scene in the first generation's memory became clear—the first Chaos Lord held the key of balance, injecting his own energy into the origin of spacetime, purifying the chaotic pollution within.

"I understand!" He suddenly became excited. "The Balance Key can activate the purification mechanism of the origin of spacetime, but it requires someone to guide the energy resonance. This person must be able to control both the key and their own energy at the same time and cannot be corrupted by chaos."

Silence fell instantly inside the cabin. Only the fused entity could control the balance key, but she was currently being parasitized by the remnant soul of chaos.

While others could control their own energy, they couldn't establish a connection with the key. Yan Jin was about to speak when Cang Lan stopped him with a look—he knew what Yan Jin wanted to say, but forcing someone who hadn't been corrupted to touch the key would only repeat the previous rejection.

The merged entity's consciousness suddenly cleared for a moment. She gripped the key and injected a wisp of six-colored energy into the light stream of the new consciousness.

“The first generation’s memories… and records about the remnants of chaotic souls.” Her voice was broken. “The remnants of souls cannot be separated from their hosts for too long, and two remnants of souls will attract each other… If we can lure the remnants of souls in the turbulent currents to appear, we might be able to find a weakness.”

The remnant soul of chaos seemed to sense her intention and suddenly intensified its corrosive power.

The light stream of the fused entity was instantly submerged by the black patterns, and the key nearly slipped from her hand. Canglan immediately mobilized all the ocean's energy to construct layers of water curtain barriers around the fused entity, attempting to block the spread of chaotic energy.

Yan Jin transformed his flame energy into spikes, constantly piercing the black patterns, forcing the chaotic remnant soul to divert its attention to defense.

"There's no time to hesitate."

The new consciousness suddenly made a decision, and the black and white light stream rushed towards the Ark control panel. "The Ark is activating the 'Energy Decoy Project' to simulate chaotic fluctuations with the energy of the initial void remnants and lure the remnant souls in the turbulence to appear."

"Fused entity, concentrate on guarding your core consciousness. Once the remnant soul approaches, use the key to trigger resonance."

Without hesitation, the initial void remnant injected its energy into the Ark's signal transmitter. Soon, a wave remarkably similar to chaotic energy emanated from the Ark, spreading towards the spacetime turbulence.

Everyone inside the cabin held their breath, their eyes glued to the energy detection curve on the screen.

In a short while, a powerful energy reaction suddenly appeared on the screen. A stream of black light was hurtling towards them from the depths of the spacetime turbulence, and wherever it passed, the silver fragments of spacetime origin scattered in its wake. "It's here!"

The initial ethereal wisp of light fluctuated violently, "its energy intensity is three times stronger than the remnant soul within the fused body!"

The black light stream arrived in an instant, transforming into a gigantic tentacle that slammed towards the ark. Flame and Azure Wave simultaneously released their energy, the flames and ocean energy intertwining to form a two-colored barrier. With a deafening bang, the barrier trembled violently, countless cracks spreading like a spiderweb.

The black tentacles seized the opportunity to release a large amount of chaotic energy, which flowed into the cabin along the cracks in the barrier.

"Now!" the new consciousness shouted. The fused entity endured the excruciating pain of its consciousness being torn apart, channeling all its mental energy into the Ultimate Balance Key.

Suddenly, the six-colored light burst forth with dazzling brilliance, and a silver rune appeared at the top of the key, resonating strongly with the silver energy spots in the spacetime turbulence.

The black light stream in the turbulent currents paused noticeably, seemingly not expecting a counterattack.

The chaotic remnant soul within the fused body suddenly became restless, its black patterns twisting wildly as it tried to break free of the key's restraints and merge with the remnant souls outside.

The energy fluctuations of the two remnant souls resonated with each other, forming an invisible energy bond, and at the center of this bond were the fragments of the origin of spacetime that were encased within it.

"found it!"

The light stream of the new consciousness points to the energy convergence point on the screen, "The origin of spacetime lies between the two remnant souls!"
