Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 821 Cracks in the Seal (1)

The black rift deep within the cosmic sea continued to expand, and the faint fluctuations of the void power grew stronger and stronger. The surrounding stars began to dim under the influence of these fluctuations, and space itself began to distort slightly.

The Creator waved his hand, releasing a golden energy that temporarily suppressed the expansion of the rift. The energy was quickly devoured by the power of nothingness the moment it touched the rift.

"This can't go on; temporary suppression won't work at all."

Canglan frowned, spacetime energy swirling around his fingertips as he tried to freeze the space around the rift, only to find that the power of nothingness could penetrate the spacetime barrier, and the freezing effect was fleeting. "We must find a way to strengthen the seal as soon as possible."

The woman in the seven-colored armor pondered for a moment before speaking: "The ancient texts of the previous dimensional reincarnation recorded that the sealing of the power of nothingness requires the 'Three Original Hearts'—the Heart of Dimension, the Heart of Creation, and the Heart of Faith. Currently, the Heart of Dimension is in the Ark of Life, the Heart of Creation is the core of creation, but the Heart of Faith is nowhere to be found."

"What is the Heart of Faith?" Yan Jin asked, his life energy flowing around him as he remained vigilant about the changes in the rift.

"The Heart of Faith is a treasure formed from the beliefs of beings in all dimensions. It contains the purest protective power and is the key to fighting against the power of nothingness."

"The woman explained, "But the ancient texts don't record the exact location of the Heart of Faith; they only mention that it manifests at the most critical moments in a dimension."

A thoughtful look flashed in the Creator's eyes: "Perhaps the Heart of Faith is related to the Fusion. She is the dimensional anchor, bearing the beliefs of all dimensional beings. Her sacrifice may have caused the Heart of Faith to manifest, but we cannot currently sense its presence."

The dimensional anchor point suddenly burst forth with intense seven-colored light, and within the light, the phantom of the fused entity emerged.

Although the figure was blurry, it exuded a familiar aura, and she seemed to be holding something in her hand.

"Master Fusion!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.

The illusory form of the fused entity spoke, its voice carrying a hint of unreality: "I... I left a wisp of remnant will within the seal. The reason the seal of the power of nothingness has cracked is because before being sealed, the Lord of Nothingness injected a wisp of consciousness into the depths of the crack, which is constantly eroding the seal. To strengthen the seal, we must find the Heart of Faith, and the Heart of Faith... lies at the deepest part of the dimensional anchor point, requiring the faith of all dimensional beings to activate."

"The deepest part of the dimensional anchor point?" Everyone looked at the dimensional anchor point floating in the center of the cosmic sea. The anchor point emitted a seven-colored light, but no entrance could be seen.

"To reach the depths of the anchor point, the power of creation and the power of the Reincarnation Artifact must work together."

The illusory form of the fusion continued, "I will guide you, but time is limited. The consciousness of the Lord of Nothingness will soon break through the seal, and you must act quickly!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the illusory image of the fused entity transformed into a stream of seven-colored light and merged into the dimensional anchor point.

Countless runes appeared on the surface of the anchor point, forming a huge portal, which was the entrance to the depths of the anchor point.

"Let's go!" The Creator led the way and flew towards the portal, with Yan Jin, Cang Lan, and the others following closely behind.

The moment they entered the portal, the surrounding scenery suddenly became dazzling, with countless golden rays of faith dancing in the air, each ray representing the faith of a being from a different dimension.

Deep within the anchor point, a crystal radiating a soft golden light floats in the center, surrounded by the light of faith—the very heart of faith.

Beside the Heart of Faith stood a black figure, the very consciousness clone of the Lord of Nothingness.

"I never expected you guys would find this place!"

The consciousness clone sneered, its body surrounded by the power of nothingness.

"The power of conviction is the key to strengthening the seal. How could I let you succeed? Today, I will use the power of conviction to break through the seal completely!"

He reached out to grasp the Heart of Faith, but the Creator immediately mobilized the power of creation and attacked him:

"Don't even think about it!" The golden energy collided with the power of nothingness, and the consciousness clone was forced back several steps.

Yan Jin, Cang Lan, and the others immediately took action, launching an attack on the consciousness clone with vitality vines, time-space freeze, and elemental beams.

Although the consciousness clone was only a wisp of the Lord of Nothingness's consciousness, its power was still formidable. The power of nothingness erupted around him, neutralizing everyone's attacks one by one.

"With your meager strength, you think you can stop me?" the consciousness clone scoffed, waving his hand to unleash a massive shockwave of void power that hurtled towards the group.

The woman in the seven-colored armor immediately mobilized her seven-colored energy to construct a defensive barrier. The shockwave struck the barrier, causing it to shake violently, its seven-colored light flickering, as if it could shatter at any moment.

"Activate the Heart of Faith!" the Creator shouted, flying toward the Heart of Faith.

Upon seeing this, the consciousness clone immediately stepped in front of the Heart of Faith, engaging in a fierce battle with the Creator. The two were evenly matched, and the power of creation clashed with the power of nothingness, triggering a powerful energy storm deep within the anchor point.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yan Jin and the others flew towards the Heart of Faith, but the consciousness clone suddenly split into several ethereal power clones and attacked them.

Although these clones were weaker, their large numbers quickly entangled the group.

"This is not the way to go!"

Canglan said anxiously, as spacetime energy erupted around him, freezing several clones. "We must break through the clones' obstruction as soon as possible and activate the Heart of Faith!"

The voice of the fused entity suddenly rang out from deep within the anchor point: "Use the Reincarnation Artifact! The Reincarnation Artifact can suppress the power of nothingness!"

Yan Jin suddenly realized what was happening and immediately summoned the Reincarnation Artifact, unleashing a seven-colored sword light that slashed at the Void Power clone.

Wherever the sword light passed, the clones were destroyed, and the power of nothingness was purified by the sword light.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the group broke free from the clones' obstruction and flew towards the Heart of Faith.

Seeing this, the consciousness clone panicked and tried to break free from the Creator's grasp, but was firmly trapped. "No! You cannot activate the Heart of Faith!"

Yan Jin placed the Reincarnation Artifact next to the Heart of Faith. The seven-colored light merged with the golden light, and the Heart of Faith began to emit a strong light.

The light contained the pure power of conviction, and it surged toward the consciousness clone.

The consciousness clone let out a scream, and its body gradually melted away in the light.

With the consciousness clones resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The Creator stepped forward and connected the Heart of Faith with the energy of the Creation Core and the Heart of Dimensions.

The three cores resonated with each other, unleashing a powerful burst of golden, seven-colored light that formed a massive pillar of energy that shot towards the black rift deep within the cosmic sea.

The beam of light struck the rift, rapidly purifying the void within it, and the rift began to shrink gradually.

Finally, the rift closed completely, and the fluctuations of the power of nothingness disappeared.

As everyone stepped out of the dimensional anchor point and looked at the now calm cosmic sea, smiles of relief appeared on their faces.

"Finally... we succeeded," Yan Jin said weakly.

The Creator nodded, his eyes filled with emotion: "The sacrifice of the merged entity was not in vain. The dimension has finally escaped the fate of being manipulated and destroyed. From now on, the dimension will continue to evolve and develop according to the trajectory of natural evolution."

The woman in the seven-colored armor gazed at the cosmic sea and said softly, "The regrets of the previous dimensional reincarnation have finally been made up for in this one. My mission is complete, and it's time to return to the embrace of reincarnation."

"Are you leaving?" Canglan asked, her face full of reluctance.

The woman nodded, her body gradually becoming transparent: "I am but a remnant soul from the previous reincarnation. Now that the crisis has passed, it is time for me to dissipate. I hope you can protect this dimension and ensure its eternal peace and prosperity."
