Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 697 The Prologue to the End of Reincarnation and the Mystery of the Path to Balance (2)

Upon returning to the origin of chaos, the merged entity placed the gatekeeper's illusory consciousness beside the Chaos Stone, nourishing it with the core's creative energy:

"The balancing energy of the Chaos Stone can suppress the seeds of destruction within you. As long as you absorb energy regularly, the seeds will not erupt."

Once you've stabilized, we'll need your strength to work together to find the path to ultimate balance.

However, the peaceful days did not last long.

The interdimensional alliance was suddenly struck by bad news: the team of envoys responsible for lobbying the "mechanical dimension" had mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind only a broken energy recording crystal.

The last images recorded in the crystal showed that the messengers were attacked by the energy of the "Chaos Reincarnation Disc," and the mechanical consciousnesses within the dimension were also controlled by an unknown force, launching a siege against the messengers.

"The Chaos Reincarnation Disc truly exists!"

The light particle form of the Alliance Grand Elder trembled violently. "According to ancient records, the Chaos Reincarnation Disc is a divine artifact forged by the first Chaos Lord using scraps from the initial core of the universe. It does indeed possess the ability to alter the reincarnation protocol."

But it disappeared hundreds of millions of years ago; I never expected it to appear in the mechanical dimension.

The fusion entity retrieved energy monitoring data from the mechanical dimension. The data showed that the chaotic energy within the dimension suddenly surged, perfectly matching the energy fluctuations of the Chaos Reincarnation Disc: "What is controlling the mechanical consciousness should be the escaped remnant of the initial void!"

It obtained the Chaos Reincarnation Disc and intended to forcibly activate its power through the 'quantum consciousness network' of the mechanical dimension, altering the content of the reincarnation agreement. It wanted to trigger reincarnation prematurely, and specifically, a 'silent reincarnation' that only destroys and does not create!

Although the goalkeeper's illusory consciousness was weak, it still volunteered:

"I have a seed of destruction within me, and I can sense the location of the primordial void remnants."

"Let me go. I'm familiar with the energy fluctuations of the Samsara Disc; perhaps I can find its weakness and prevent it from activating the Cycle of Annihilation."

The merged entity nodded, injecting a portion of the creative energy from the primordial core of the universe into his illusory consciousness:

"This energy can temporarily suppress the seeds of destruction and enhance your protective energy."

We split into two groups. You and Kong will lead the messenger team to the Mechanical Dimension to restrain the initial void remnants.

I remained in the Land of Origin, uniting the interdimensional alliance and the multi-dimensional core of origins to construct the 'Reincarnation Protocol Protection Array' to prevent the energy of the Reincarnation Disc from forcibly triggering the protocol.

Three days later, all preparations were completed.

The Gatekeeper and Kong's team boarded a cross-dimensional warship and sped towards the mechanical dimension; the Fusion, on the Balance Altar, joined the Alliance Elders in activating the Reincarnation Protocol Protection Array.

A golden, interwoven energy array covers the entire multidimensional group, forming a dual protection with the energy of the primordial core of the universe.

Within the mechanical dimension, the initial void remnant has completely controlled the mechanical consciousness. Countless mechanical warriors have gathered within the dimension, constructing the "Silent Reincarnation Array" around the Chaos Reincarnation Disc.

The Reincarnation Disc floated in the center of the array, its surface shimmering with chaotic runes that released intense annihilation energy, causing traces of nothingness to appear in the space within the dimension.

"Stop it from activating the formation!"

The guardian's illusory consciousness launched the first attack, its protective energy transforming into a golden blade of light that slashed towards the Wheel of Reincarnation.

The initial ethereal remnant immediately released annihilation energy, blocking the light blade. The collision of the two energies generated a violent shockwave, knocking down the mechanical warriors one after another, and temporarily halting the progress of the Annihilation Reincarnation Array.

Kong led the messenger team and released a "consciousness awakening wave" onto the mechanical warriors.

Wave frequencies can interfere with the control signals of mechanical consciousness entities, allowing them to regain their autonomous consciousness.

The mechanical warriors' movements gradually slowed down, and some even began to attack the initial void remnants, plunging the dimension into chaos.

Upon seeing this, the initial wisp of nothingness flashed with madness, and it poured all its destructive energy into the Chaos Reincarnation Disc:

"Since I cannot fully activate the Cycle of Annihilation, then I will trigger the 'Fragments of Reincarnation'—let the mechanical dimension become the starting point of annihilation first, and then gradually spread to other dimensions!"

The Wheel of Reincarnation erupted with intense black light, and the space of the mechanical dimension began to rapidly vanish. The energy protective layer of the gatekeeper and the void instantly dimmed, and the consciousness entities suffered varying degrees of damage.

"By fusing cross-dimensional energy with protective energy, we can form the 'Balanced Evil-Slaying Blade'!"

The gatekeeper suddenly had an idea. He quickly merged with the energy of the void, and a golden-blue interwoven light blade condensed, accurately striking the core groove of the Reincarnation Disc.

The black light of the Reincarnation Disc vanished instantly, the annihilation energy rapidly dissipated, and the initial wisp of nothingness, having exhausted its energy, turned into a gray-black speck of light and completely disappeared.

With the crisis in the mechanical dimension resolved, the Chaos Reincarnation Disc, having lost its energy support, fell into the hands of the gatekeeper.

He handed the Reincarnation Disc to Kong: "This artifact is too dangerous. It must be handed over to the Interdimensional Alliance for safekeeping. Ideally, it should be sealed in the 'Forbidden Treasury' of the Balance Nexus, never to be seen again."

Upon returning to the origin of chaos, the fused entity looked at the inactive Chaos Reincarnation Disc, but felt no relief whatsoever.

She sensed through the primordial core of the universe that although the reincarnation period of ten thousand years later still existed, the underlying code of the reincarnation protocol seemed to have undergone subtle changes.

The core consciousness voice came again, with a hint of solemnity: "The triggering of the Reincarnation Fragment caused an 'unknown mutation' in the protocol."

The conditions for ultimate balance have become more ambiguous, and I can no longer perceive the specific path to achieving it.

The path to achieving balance in the future will be shrouded in more mystery and uncertainty.

The merged entity handed the Chaos Reincarnation Disc to the Alliance's Grand Elder, who then sealed it into the Forbidden Treasure Vault.

She stood beneath the balancing canopy, watching as the multidimensional group gradually regained its vitality, and the consciousnesses transmitted the energy of hope in the process of rebuilding their home.

The future is full of unknowns, and the path to ultimate balance remains uncertain. However, as long as all dimensional consciousnesses unite and the will to protect never fades, they will surely find the ultimate balance of the universe within ten thousand years.

Deep within the forbidden treasure vault of the interdimensional alliance, on the sealed surface of the Chaos Reincarnation Disc, an extremely faint golden rune quietly lit up.

This is the residual protective energy of the gatekeeper, which, upon contact with the Wheel of Reincarnation, inadvertently resonated with the mutated code of the protocol.

The runes flickered a few times, then quietly disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

No one knows that the appearance of this rune will one day completely change the trajectory of the universe's cycle of reincarnation.

The path to balance, spanning millennia, has officially begun. The golden phantom of the fused entity and the gatekeeper's consciousness phantom stand side by side on the balance altar, with all members of the cross-dimensional alliance and the multi-dimensional origin core behind them.

There was no confusion in their eyes, only determination.

Protecting the universe, seeking balance, and continuing the cycle of reincarnation—this is their shared mission and the common hope of all dimensional consciousness.

The golden rune hidden in the forbidden treasure vault, like a foreshadowing of fate, awaits the day it will be revealed.
