Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 803 Ancient Awakening (1)

A golden beam of light pierced the darkness of the cosmic sea, like the dawn breaking through the gloom.

The enormous figure within the pillar of light gradually became clear. It was composed entirely of brilliant primordial energy, its body covered with ancient golden runes, its face blurred yet exuding an aura of majesty and holiness. The energy fluctuations emanating from its body even resonated faintly with the fragments of the dimensional origin runes.

The members of the combined fleet held their breath, forgetting the onslaught of the decaying warships before them.

"What exactly is that?" Yan Jin murmured to himself, his life energy unconsciously flowing around him, both wary and curious.

The fused entity gripped the rune fragment tightly in its hand, clearly sensing the affinity rather than hostility emanating from it.

Before she could think it through, the decaying warship fleet suddenly launched a frenzied attack, with countless black energy cannons bombarding the combined fleet, while some energy cannons were also aimed at the golden beam of light.

"Block the attack first!" The fusion entity regained its senses and immediately manipulated the energy of the rune fragments to expand the golden shield, covering the entire combined fleet.

The black energy cannon struck the golden shield with a deafening roar. The shield trembled violently, and the golden light flickered, but it never shattered.

After absorbing the two fragments, the energy intensity of the rune fragments far exceeded that of before.

Taking advantage of the situation, Canglan manipulated spacetime energy, freezing the trajectory of some of the decaying energy cannons and buying the fleet a chance to breathe: "Master Fusion, the energy fluctuations of that figure are very pure, it doesn't seem like an enemy!"

“I sensed it too.” The fusion entity nodded, its gaze fixed on the figure within the pillar of light. “But we cannot let our guard down. Let’s deal with the decaying fleet in front of us first.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a golden pillar of light suddenly erupted, and a huge golden energy wave swept towards the decaying warship fleet.

Wherever the energy wave passed, the decaying warships disintegrated like paper. The black, decaying energy vanished instantly under the impact of the golden energy, leaving no trace.

With a single strike, half of the decaying warships were destroyed. Upon seeing this, the remaining warships immediately turned around and tried to escape the battlefield.

"Trying to run?" A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Nothingness. He immediately manipulated the power of nothingness to construct a massive void barrier in front of the decaying warships, blocking their path.

The Magic Queen and the Elemental Elders also attacked simultaneously, their magical and elemental energies intertwining to form a net that enveloped the remaining decaying warships.

The decaying warship was trapped between the barrier and the energy network, like a turtle in a jar, and was quickly and completely destroyed.

After dealing with the decaying fleet, everyone's attention once again focused on the golden pillar of light.

The pillar of light slowly contracted, and the enormous figure was finally fully revealed. It was thousands of feet tall, like an ancient god looking down on all living beings. The golden runes around it shimmered with mysterious light, exuding an aura of control over the rules of dimensions.

"I am the guardian of the dimensions, slumbering for billions of years, and today I awaken in response to the call of the runes."

An ancient and profound voice echoed in the cosmic sea, making everyone's eardrums buzz, but there was no sense of oppression. Instead, it aroused a strange sense of awe in people's hearts.

The merged entity had a sudden thought and raised the rune fragment in its hand: "Guardian, was it the Dimensional Origin Rune Fragment that awakened you?"

The Dimensional Guardian nodded slowly, his gaze falling on the rune fragments, a gentle glint in his eyes: "Indeed. The rune fragments contain the power of the dimensional origin. When two fragments meet, the resulting resonance will be enough to break my slumbering seal."

"Then do you know anything about the Decaying Dimension?"

The fusion entity hurriedly asked, "Their army is about to attack, wanting to devour the origin core of the multidimensional world."

Mentioning the Decay Dimension, the Dimension Guardian's eyes instantly turned cold: "The Decay Dimension is the dark side that existed since the beginning of the dimension, representing destruction and decay, and is incompatible with the multidimensional world. Billions of years ago, I fought a great battle with the ruler of the Decay Dimension and sealed it deep in the dimensional rift. I never expected that the seal would loosen and that they would come back again."

“I see.” The fused entity suddenly realized. “Then how should we deal with this? We only have two rune fragments now, which is no match for the army of the decaying dimension.”

"Rune shards are key."

The Dimensional Guardian said, "Once all the rune fragments are collected, the complete Dimensional Origin Rune can be activated. With the power of the rune, not only can the corrupted dimension be completely sealed, but the dimensional balance can also be reshaped, allowing the multidimensional world to return to its former order."

"But we don't know where the remaining rune fragments are."

Canglan said, his face full of worry, "Moreover, the Ark of Life is still in danger, and we must get there as soon as possible."

The Dimensional Guardian's gaze swept across a certain direction in the cosmic sea, precisely where the Ark of Life was located:

"The Ark of Life is temporarily unharmed. I can sense a protective array left by the original consciousness there. Although it has been eroded by decaying energy, it can still hold on for a while."

"As for the whereabouts of the rune fragments, I can guide you in the right direction."

It raised its hand and waved, and a golden beam of light shot out from its fingertip, landing on the rune fragment in the fused body's hand.

The rune fragments instantly burst forth with intense light, projecting a three-dimensional cosmic star map into the air. The star map contained multiple flashing red dots, which marked the locations of the remaining rune fragments.

"These red dots are where the rune fragments are located."

The Dimensional Guardian said, "The closest one to us is in the 'Netherworld Dead Zone.' It is one of the most dangerous areas in the Cosmic Sea, filled with death energy and ancient resentment, as well as many powerful undead creatures and fragments of guardians."

The fused entity looked at the red dot on the star map and felt somewhat reassured: "Thank you for your guidance, Guardian. We will now head to the Netherworld to find the fragments."

"Wait a minute." The Dimensional Guardian suddenly spoke up, "The Netherworld Death Domain is not only dangerous, but it is also intricately connected to the Decaying Dimension. The messengers of the Decaying Dimension probably already know the location of the fragments, and you will inevitably encounter obstacles on your journey."

It raised its hand and condensed a golden ball of light, which flew towards the fused entity: "This is a wisp of my original power. It can be used in critical moments to help you withstand a fatal attack and temporarily suppress decaying energy."

The fused entity reached out and took the golden ball of light. The ball of light felt warm to the touch, and a powerful energy instantly surged into its body, rapidly healing the injuries sustained in the previous battle: "Thank you, Guardian!"

"I will remain in the cosmic sea to reinforce the defenses of the primordial core and halt the advance of the corrupt dimensional army," said the Dimensional Guardian. "You must gather the rune fragments as quickly as possible; this is the only hope for saving the multiverse."

After speaking, its figure slowly rose into the air and flew towards the center of the cosmic sea. The golden runes around it continuously released energy, building a huge defensive barrier above the cosmic sea to block the decaying energy surging out from the spatial rift.

The combined fleet immediately changed course and sped toward the Netherworld Death Zone.

The Netherworld Death Zone is located on the edge of the cosmic sea. From a distance, it appears as a pitch-black area, devoid of any starlight. Only dense death energy, like black mist, shrouds the entire area, exuding a chilling aura.

As the fleet approached the edge of the Netherworld Dead Zone, countless red dots appeared on the radar screen: "Lord Fusion, a large number of undead creatures have been detected ahead, as well as... warships from the Decaying Dimension!"

The fused entity's eyes narrowed. Just as the dimensional guardian had said, the messenger of the decaying dimension had already arrived here.
