Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 839 Undercurrents (1)

The figure of the Hyper-Multiverse Alliance hovered beside the crack, and the laws of unknown dimensions spread like ripples. The ultimate spacetime barrier of the Hyper-Multiverse even rippled slightly under this aura.

The fused entity, surrounded by golden and blue light, protected Yan Jin, Cang Lan, and the Creator behind it, its voice firm: "Our multiverse has never been subordinate to any power, nor will it become an appendage of others."

The blurry figure let out a low laugh, and the fluctuations of the laws around it grew stronger: "Interesting backbone."

But did you know that the Ultra Multiverse Alliance controls thousands of ultra-multiverses like yours?

Joining the Alliance will grant you access to higher-level knowledge of laws and resources; refusing will result in the Alliance's 'purification'—similar to how they dealt with disobedient lower-dimensional universes.

"Purification? It's nothing but an excuse for destruction!"

Yan Jin roared, his life force gathering around him, "We have survived countless crises and never thought of depending on others! If you want to destroy the multiverse, you'll have to step over our corpses first!"

“Impulsiveness won’t solve anything.” The Creator pressed down on Yan Jin’s shoulder, looking at the figure with a solemn gaze. “The Alliance’s strength far exceeds our imagination. A head-on confrontation will only plunge the multiverse into destruction. We need time to consider this. We will give you an answer in three days.”

The figure was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Okay. But remember, if you don't get a satisfactory answer in three days, you'll bear the consequences."

After speaking, his figure transformed into a stream of unknown law light and retreated into the crack. The crack also shrank, leaving only a tiny gap that exuded an unfamiliar aura.

The crisis was temporarily averted, but no one dared to relax for a moment.

The fusion entity summoned the core members of the hyper-multiverse to the council hall of the Hyperdimensional Guardian Academy, including two ancient reincarnation guardians and outstanding student representatives from the Hyperdimensional Guardian Academy.

The atmosphere in the council chamber was heavy, and everyone's face was filled with worry.

"The threat from the alliance is imminent, what should we do?" a student representative asked anxiously.

Canglan brought up the spacetime monitoring screen, which showed the flow of unknown laws around the crack:

"Judging from the fluctuations in the laws we've monitored, the Alliance's power is at least a hundred times greater than ours, and we have no chance of winning in a direct confrontation. But if we join the Alliance, we will lose our independent sovereignty over the multiverse and become their vassal."

"Perhaps we can feign joining while secretly accumulating strength?" another student representative suggested.

“No.” The fusion entity shook its head. “The Alliance can control thousands of multiverses, so it must have strict monitoring methods. If we are discovered to have joined under false pretenses, the consequences will be even more serious.”

From their words, one could sense that their control over the subordinate universe was extremely strict, leaving absolutely no opportunity to accumulate power.

The two ancient guardians of reincarnation exchanged a glance and said, "We heard of the existence of the Hyper-Multiverse in ancient times. It is said that the Alliance is not a monolithic entity, but is divided into the 'Hegemony Faction' and the 'Coexistence Faction.' The Hegemony Faction advocates controlling lower-dimensional universes by force, while the Coexistence Faction advocates equal exchange. Perhaps we can find the Coexistence Faction and seek their help."

“But we have no idea how to contact the coexistence faction, or even if they really exist,” Yan Jin said, frowning.

The Creator gathered primordial runes at his fingertips, which formed the general outline of an alliance in the air:

“I can try to use the power of creation to deduce information about the alliance, and perhaps find clues about the coexistence faction. But this will take time, at least two days.”

"Then I'll leave it to the Creator!" the fusion entity said. "Yan Jin, you lead the students to strengthen the defenses of the super multiverse."

"Canglan, continue monitoring the rift's movements and report any anomalies immediately. Guardians, you are responsible for compiling ancient data on the hyper-multiverse to see if you can find any other clues."

Everyone immediately sprang into action. The Creator constructed a Creation Calculation Array in the center of the council hall and began calculating the alliance's information.

Yan Jin led his students to set up multiple defensive fortifications at the edge of the hyper-multiverse.

Canglan stood guard beside the time-space monitoring device, keeping a close eye on the changes in the cracks.

The two guardians then entered the database of the dimensional anchor point and browsed through ancient records.

As the days passed, the Creator's deductions finally yielded results on the evening of the second day.

He opened his eyes wearily, his power of creation dimming: "Found it! The coexistence faction does exist. Their leader is the 'Lord of the Stars,' who advocates for the equal coexistence of all super-multiverses and has sharp conflicts with the hegemony faction. But to contact him, we must go through the 'hyperdimensional information channel,' and the entrance to the channel is near the singularity of rules we visited before."

"Great! Let's go to the Singularity of Rules now!" Yan Jin said excitedly.

"Wait." Canglan suddenly spoke, and an abnormal fluctuation appeared on the spacetime monitoring device. "The unknown laws at the rift have suddenly strengthened, and the Alliance may appear at any time! We cannot all leave; we must leave some people behind to protect the super multiverse."

The fusion entity made a decision: "The Creator and I will go to the Singularity of Rules to contact the Lord of the Stars. Yan Jin, Cang Lan, and the two Guardians will stay behind to protect the Alliance. Remember, unless absolutely necessary, do not engage in conflict with the Alliance."

The two immediately set off, flying towards the singularity of rules. The multidimensional core rules surrounding the singularity remained stable, and the Creator mobilized the power of creation to construct an entrance to a hyperdimensional information channel beside the singularity.

The entrance opened, revealing a passageway filled with the aura of the stars.

The two entered the passage, which was filled with cosmic runes that guided their way.

At the end of the passage was a space composed of countless stars, with a huge cosmic crystal suspended in the center.

The Creator infused the deduced information into the crystal, which then burst forth with intense starlight. A figure clad in silver starlight armor emerged from the light—the Lord of the Stars.

"A messenger from a low-dimensional super-multiverse?"

The Lord of the Stars spoke, his voice as ethereal as the movement of stars, "I know why you've come. The Hegemonic Faction has extended an invitation for you to join, hasn't it?"

The merged entity nodded and explained the situation and threats facing the multiverse.

After listening, the Lord of the Stars frowned: "The Hegemony Faction is currently expanding its power and has already destroyed several low-dimensional universes that refused to join. If you want to refuse to join, you must join our Coexistence Faction and work with us to fight against the Hegemony Faction."

"We're willing to join the coexistence faction!" the amalgamator agreed without hesitation. "But our power is limited; how can we be of any help?"

"Your hypermultiverse has just experienced multiple crises, and its primordial power contains a powerful 'law of resilience,' which can play a key role in resisting attacks from hegemonic forces."

The Lord of the Stars said, "I will send an envoy to accompany you back to help you build the 'Star Defense Array' and strengthen the defense of the super multiverse."

I will contact other coexisting factions in the multiverse to prepare for a united front against the hegemonic faction.

The Lord of the Stars waved his hand, releasing a stream of starlight that condensed into an envoy dressed in a starlight robe.

"This is the Star Envoy, who will assist you. When the Hegemony faction arrives again in three days, you should use the Star Defense Array to demonstrate your strength and show your determination to join the Coexistence Faction. The Hegemony faction will not take action against the Coexistence Faction's universe for the time being."

The merged entity and the creator thanked the Lord of the Stars and returned to the Hyper-Multiverse with the Star Evolution Messenger.

When they returned to the Superdimensional Guardian Academy, they found the academy in chaos, with Yan Jin and the others engaged in a fierce battle with a stream of black light—the remnant soul of the Dimensional Lord!

"Lord of Dimensions! You're still alive!"

The fused entity was shocked and immediately mobilized the power of its multi-dimensional origins to attack the remnant soul.

The remnant soul sneered, its body transforming into countless black threads of light to evade the attack: "If I die, how can I witness the spectacle of the multiverse in crisis? I have already sent a message to the Hegemony Faction, telling them that you are contacting the Coexistence Faction, and that they will arrive in three days with even greater power to utterly destroy you!"
