Chapter 768 Hidden Seed Regeneration Root (1)
The multicolored light in his palm still flowed, but the newly formed golden mark was like a poisonous thorn, piercing deep into the consciousness of the fused entity.
She instinctively clenched her fist, trying to wrap the mark with the power of creation, but the mark was like a maggot clinging to a bone, blending into the light, and no matter how much energy she activated, she could not peel it off.
"Amalgamation, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Jin noticed her unusual behavior, and green life energy swirled around her again, but the fused entity subconsciously avoided it.
She could not allow anyone to get close. This new seed hidden in the power of creation was too strange; even the fragments of the original will had not noticed it. If it came into contact with the energy of other people, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I'm fine, I just expended too much energy fighting the Origin Messenger."
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, the fused being bent down to check Canglan's injuries.
"Just how many powerful beings from the Origin Universe did you encounter?"
The pale blue light stream of Canglan trembled slightly, and the silver spacetime energy fluctuated weakly: "There are at least five of them. The leader is a guy wearing dark gold armor. His energy fluctuations are even more bizarre than those of the Origin Messenger. He seems to be able to manipulate space fragments."
"They didn't destroy the core; they simply located precisely where the energy imprint of the initial void remnant was stored."
The golden light of the Order Origin Consciousness slowly rose, its tone full of doubt, "It's as if it knew the location of the mark all along, and its actions are incredibly fast."
The merged entity felt a chill run down its spine. The mark of the initial void remnant was personally sealed in the Ark's secret chamber by the Lord of Nothingness, and it was impossible for anyone outside of their core members to know about it.
She looked at the Void Lord lying to the side; the black light was dim and lifeless, and the power of the Void was barely perceptible.
She immediately released her primal purifying power, carefully injecting it into the void entity to help it organize its chaotic energy.
A moment later, the Lord of Nothingness slowly opened his eyes, a hint of fear flashing in the black light: "It's the 'Nothingness Hunter,' a powerful being from the Origin Universe who specializes in studying the power of nothingness. They can pinpoint the location of a mark through fluctuations in nothingness energy."
"But the mark is sealed layer by layer by your power of nothingness, how could they find it so easily?" Yan Jin asked, puzzled.
The Lord of Nothingness remained silent for a moment, then the black light surged violently: "When I sealed the mark, I left a thread of void energy to guide it, intending to check its status later. I never expected..."
"I didn't expect that the Origin Universe would detect this tether?"
The merged entity continued, but even greater doubts arose in its heart.
The Lord of Nothingness is always cautious in his actions, and it is impossible for him to leave such an obvious flaw, unless... a hidden danger has long been planted in his power of nothingness.
The moment the thought crossed her mind, the fusion body immediately suppressed it. She couldn't doubt her partner, but the golden mark on her palm was slightly burning hot, as if mocking her self-deception.
"Now is not the time to assign blame. We must repair the Ark defenses as soon as possible and find the whereabouts of the Origin Universe."
The fused entity stood up and said with feigned composure, "Yan Jin, continue healing everyone; Cang Lan, use spacetime energy to track the energy trajectory of the powerful beings from the Origin Universe; the three Origin Consciousnesses, immediately repair the core defensive barrier; Lord of Nothingness, come with me to the secret chamber, I need to understand the detailed information about the remnants of the Initial Nothingness."
No one objected, and they immediately got to work.
The fusion entity brought the Lord of Nothingness to the secret chamber at the bottom of the Ark. On the sealing platform in the center of the chamber, only a faint mark of nothingness energy remained. Where the mark was originally placed, a faint golden energy fluctuation remained.
"This is a 'tracing imprint' of the origin of the universe."
The black light of the Lord of Nothingness approached the sealing platform, his tone grave, "They deliberately left this mark so that we would follow the trail and set up an ambush."
The fused entity did not speak, but instead focused its consciousness into its body, carefully observing the golden mark hidden within the power of creation.
She discovered that the mark was slowly absorbing the power of creation. With each bit absorbed, the marks became clearer, and these marks bore a subtle resemblance to the tracking marks remaining on the sealing platform.
"What exactly is the use of the mark of the initial void remnant?" the fused entity suddenly asked.
The Lord of Nothingness paused for a moment, then explained, "The Primordial Void Remnant was formed from the void energy condensed at the beginning of the cosmic sea. Its imprint contains pure void rules. If it were to be mastered by the Origin Universe, they could break through the defenses of the void power and even manipulate void energy to attack us."
The fused being nodded, her unease growing stronger. She could sense an invisible connection between the golden mark within her and the tracking mark of the origin universe, like two seeds resonating with each other, ready to burst forth simultaneously once the time was right.
“We must find the hiding place of the Origin Universe as soon as possible and take it back before they break the mark,” the merged entity said, its gaze unconsciously drifting to the corner of the secret chamber, where the residual energy of the fragments of primordial will she had brought back from the forbidden space was stored.
She suddenly realized that the fragments of primordial will could purify the previous golden seed and perhaps also affect this new seed. She immediately mobilized the primordial will energy within her body and carefully approached the golden mark in the power of creation.
Just as the primordial will energy was about to come into contact with the mark, the mark suddenly erupted with a strong golden light. The golden light contained a strange devouring power, which directly devoured the primordial will energy.
The fused entity let out a muffled groan, a trace of residual energy spilling from the corner of its mouth, and its consciousness blurred for a moment.
This new seed is several times more powerful than the previous golden seed, and it specifically counters the energy of primordial will.
"Amalgamation, are you alright?" The Lord of Nothingness noticed her abnormality and quickly stepped forward.
"I am fine."
The fusion entity shook its head, forcing itself to stand up straight. "Let's go out first and see how Canglan's tracking is going."
When the two returned to the core area of the Ark, Canglan was frowning as he stared at the spacetime projection in front of him. In the projection, five golden streams of light were moving rapidly at the edge of the cosmic sea, flying towards an unknown nebula.
"They are very fast and keep using space debris to jump around. My spacetime energy can only barely lock onto their general direction."
Canglan said, "That nebula is the 'Chaotic Nebula,' where the energy is extremely chaotic and the space is extremely unstable, making it very difficult for us to track it in."
"Chaotic Nebula..."
The merged entity murmured to itself, recalling that the information left behind by the Balancing Chaos Entity mentioned that the Chaos Nebula was a buffer zone between the Cosmic Sea and the Origin Universe, containing many secrets from the beginning of the Cosmic Sea's birth.
"The Origin Universe chose to break the mark there because it saw the chaotic energy of the Chaos Nebula as a way to shield us from detection."
The primordial consciousness of order said, "We must catch up immediately. Once they break the mark, the consequences will be unimaginable."
The fused entity remained silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in its mind.
She knew that the golden mark within her body was a time bomb. If it suddenly exploded during the tracking process, it would not only drag everyone down, but it might also give the Origin Universe an opportunity to take advantage.
"Yan Jin, come with me to the Chaos Nebula," the fusion entity suddenly spoke. "Cang Lan, you stay on the Ark and continue monitoring the energy fluctuations of the Origin Universe."
The three primordial consciousnesses and the Lord of Nothingness, please repair the Ark's defenses as soon as possible, and at the same time research methods to counter the Void Hunters.
"Why can't I go with you? My spacetime energy can be used in the Chaos Nebula," Canglan asked, puzzled.
“The Ark needs someone to oversee it, and your injuries haven’t healed yet,” the fusion entity explained, but dared not meet Canglan’s gaze.
She knew the reason was far-fetched, but she couldn't let more people know the secret inside her body.
Yan Jin noticed her concerns and stepped forward, saying, "Don't worry, I will protect the fusion. If anything happens, we will send back a signal immediately."
The others stopped objecting and began preparing for their departure. The fused entity returned to its cabin alone to examine the golden mark within its body once more.
The markings were much clearer than before, and she could feel that the markings were transmitting energy fluctuations toward the Chaos Nebula through that invisible connection.
"Origin Messenger, what exactly do you want?" the fused entity roared inwardly, but was powerless to do anything about it.
Just then, a faint message flashed through her consciousness. It didn't come from the Balanced Chaos Entity, nor from the fragment of the Origin Will, but from that golden mark.
"Nothingness...betrayal..."
The information was extremely vague, yet it sent a shiver down the spine of the merged being. She suddenly remembered that in the forbidden space, the remnant soul of the Origin Messenger contained a void energy imprint similar to that of the Lord of Nothingness. Could it be... that the Lord of Nothingness had truly betrayed them?
The thought sent a chill down her spine. The Lord of Nothingness was one of their most trusted partners. If even he had betrayed them, then the Cosmic Sea would truly be doomed.
"Impossible! The Lord of Nothingness sacrificed so much to protect the Cosmic Sea, how could he betray us?"
The fusion entity shook its head vigorously, trying to dispel the terrifying thought, but the golden mark on its palm became hot again, as if confirming the authenticity of the information.
At this moment, Yan Jin knocked on the hatch: "Fusion body, are you ready? The probe ship has been debugged and can depart."
