Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 773 Mystery Unveiled in the Secret Realm (1)

The fused entity suddenly sat up, its forehead covered in beads of energy sweat. The aura of that dark figure was too strange, carrying both the sense of destruction of the origin universe and a trace of the primordial fluctuations of the cosmic sea. The two completely different energies intertwined, forming a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Amalgamation, are you alright?"

Yan Jin quickly stepped forward, and green life energy gently enveloped her.

"The passage has been closed, and the aura of the Origin Will has disappeared. You can rest now."

The fusion entity shook its head, looking solemnly at everyone: "I just saw a dark figure in my consciousness, right here in the Origin Secret Realm. There were energy fluctuations from the Origin Universe on its body."

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and the Wheel of Order in the hand of the Origin Consciousness trembled slightly: "The Origin Secret Realm is the core of the Cosmic Sea, how could it contain the aura of the Origin Universe? Could it be that the Origin Universe has already infiltrated it?"

"Impossible. The Origin Secret Realm is guarded by four guardian beasts, making it impossible for people from the Origin Universe to enter."

The voice of the Lord of Nothingness came through the communicator. He had just broken free from the control of the Origin Universe and was on his way back to the Ark. "Unless... that dark figure is not from the Origin Universe."

"Not a being from the origin of the universe, yet possessing the energy of the origin of the universe?"

Canglan frowned, silver spacetime energy dancing at his fingertips. "This is too strange."

The fusion entity remained silent for a moment, then suddenly recalled the record in the "Record of the Origin of the Universe": "The scroll says that the Origin Secret Realm contains all the secrets of the birth of the Cosmic Sea, and perhaps that dark shadow is related to the origin of the Cosmic Sea."

"Whatever it is, we must enter the Origin Realm as soon as possible to find out."

The primordial consciousness of order stated firmly, "Now that the Chaos Stone has been retrieved and the Ring of Nothingness will soon be found, once we have gathered the four primordial tokens, we will immediately open the secret realm."

Everyone nodded in agreement and began preparations to open the secret realm. The fused entity returned to its chamber and checked the golden seed within its body once more.

The seed had become dull and lifeless, and the aura of the Origin Will had vanished, yet she still felt that things weren't so simple. The appearance of that dark figure intensified her unease.

Three days later, the Lord of Nothingness returned to the Ark with the Ring of Nothingness. The four primal artifacts were finally gathered and neatly arranged on the table in the core energy chamber.

The Wheel of Order radiated golden light, the Sands of Time flowed with silver halos, the Stone of Chaos shimmered with gray dim light, and the Ring of Nothingness was surrounded by black energy. The four energies resonated with each other, exuding a powerful aura.

"Now, we will begin to open the Origin Realm."

The primordial consciousness of order picked up the Wheel of Order, and golden light flowed into it. "Everyone infused their own primordial power into the tokens, guiding them to resonate."

Everyone immediately did as instructed. Yan Jin stayed by the fused body's side, constantly monitoring her condition.

Canglan, the Lord of Nothingness, and the other two primordial consciousness entities each picked up the Sands of Time and Space, the Ring of Nothingness, and the Stone of Chaos, respectively, and infused them with primordial power.

The energy of the four tokens grew stronger and stronger, intertwining to form a colorful beam of light that shot straight to the top of the ark. The ark's protective shield instantly opened, and the beam of light pierced through the shield, shooting straight into the deepest part of the cosmic sea.

In the sky, a huge spatial rift slowly opened, emanating an ancient and pure primordial aura, which was the entrance to the Primordial Secret Realm.

"The entrance to the secret realm has opened!" the Chaos Origin Consciousness shouted excitedly. "Let's go in quickly!"

"and many more!"

The fused entity suddenly spoke, and she could sense a faint shadowy aura mixed in with the primordial energy at the entrance to the secret realm. "There may be danger inside. We must proceed with caution."

Everyone nodded, and Yan Jin released his life energy, creating an energy shield around them: "I'll take care of the defense, everyone follow behind me."

The group flew towards the entrance of the secret realm. After entering the rift, the scene before them suddenly opened up. It was a vast grassland covered with golden grass, and the air was filled with rich primal energy.

In the distance, four enormous mountain peaks stood there, each atop which sat a gigantic divine beast—the four guardian beasts that protected the secret realm.

"Welcome to the Primal Realm."

An aged voice rang out, and the four guardian beasts opened their eyes simultaneously, their gazes falling on the group. "You are the first group to gather the four primordial tokens and enter this place. Tell me your purpose."

The consciousness of the origin of order stepped forward and said respectfully, "Respected guardian beast, we have come to find the heart of the origin of the universe in order to fight against the invasion of the origin universe."

The four guardian beasts exchanged glances, and the leading Azure Dragon guardian beast spoke up: "The Heart of the Universe's Origin is the core of the secret realm, hidden in its deepest part. But to obtain it, one must pass our test."

"What kind of test?" Canglan asked.

"Each person must pass the test of a mountain peak alone. Only by passing all of them can one reach the deepest part of the secret realm."

The White Tiger guardian beast said, "The content of the test varies from person to person, depending on your deepest obsession."

Without hesitation, everyone flew towards their respective peaks. The fused entity was assigned to the peak guarded by the Vermilion Bird, while Yan Jin was assigned to the peak guarded by the Black Tortoise.

The fused entity arrived at the foot of Mount Suzaku, where flames covered the peak and the air was filled with a scorching heat.

The voice of the Vermilion Bird guardian beast came: "Your test is to face your inner fear. Only by overcoming your fear can you pass the test."

The fusion entity took a deep breath and began climbing towards the summit. Just as it reached the halfway point, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed; the flames vanished, replaced by complete darkness.

Countless golden seeds appeared before her eyes, each radiating the aura of the primordial universe, rushing towards her.

"Is this my inner fear?" the fusion body murmured to herself. She knew that what she feared most was being controlled by the Origin Universe again and becoming an accomplice in the destruction of the cosmic sea.

The golden seed drew ever closer, yet the fusion did not retreat. She mobilized the power of creation and balance within her, silently reciting, "I am not a destroyer, I am the guardian of the cosmic sea."

A burst of multicolored light erupted instantly, dispersing the golden seed.

The surrounding darkness vanished, and she returned to the mountain peak. A hint of approval flashed in the eyes of the Vermilion Bird guardian beast: "You have passed the test. Go."

The merged entity flew towards the mountaintop to reunite with the other test-takers.

Everyone looked exhausted; the test was clearly not easy.

"Now, we can go to the deepest part of the secret realm to find the heart of the universe's origin."

The Azure Dragon Guardian said, waving its claws, and a rift opened in the space in front of it, "Pass through here, and you will reach the core area of ​​the secret realm."
