Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 623 Breaking the Rune Impasse and the Awakening of the Consciousness of an Ancient Being (1)

Behind the twin portals of light in the slumbering land, two enormous cocoons of light floated in the pale golden void.

The primordial cocoon on the left exudes a calm, black energy, while the guardian cocoon on the right envelops a phantom of consciousness similar to the 0th generation observer. The awakening runes surrounding the phantom resemble a complex maze, blocking all attempts to approach.

The portal behind them had been completely closed, and the ancestor's black energy was slowly seeping through the gaps in the portal, threatening to break through the barrier at any moment and trap and kill everyone inside.

"The structure of the awakening rune is too complex."

The fused entity's consciousness, through a remote connection, carefully observed the patterns of the runes. "Each line of the rune corresponds to the consciousness fluctuations of the guardian race. Precise matching is required for activation. Once an error occurs, it may completely destroy the guardian's original light cocoon!"

The Guardian's four-colored energy attempted to touch the rune, but was repelled the moment it made contact. A warning red line appeared on the surface of the rune: "The rune is repelling the consciousness energy of non-Guardian races. Our energy attributes are simply incompatible."

The gatekeeper's black energy suddenly resonated with the primordial cocoon of light, and lines similar to the awakening runes appeared on the surface of the cocoon: "The primordial source and the guardian source are twins. Perhaps the energy of the primordial source can be used to guide the activation of the guardian source's runes!"

My absolute ultimate energy shares the same origin as the primordial source, and may be able to temporarily simulate matching fluctuations.

The guardian's eyes lit up. He immediately adjusted the four colors of energy, combining them with the gatekeeper's black energy to form a "twin guiding light stream," which slowly approached the awakening rune.

The moment the light stream came into contact with the rune, the red lines on the rune gradually faded, and pale golden resonance lines began to appear—clearly, this method was working, and the rune's activation progress began to slowly increase.

"Success! Activation progress is increasing!"

The presence behind them emanated waves of excitement, and they actively injected energy into the light stream to enhance the guiding effect.

The rune activation progress increased at a visible rate, from 10% to 30%, and then to 50%—the illusory consciousness in the protective cocoon of light also began to become clearer, and it could even be seen that the illusory figure was holding a pale golden "Guardian Rune" in its hand. This rune had the same pattern as the Awakening Rune, and was obviously the key to activation.

Just as the activation progress was about to reach 80%, the light gate behind me suddenly trembled violently.

The black energy of the progenitor broke through the temporary barrier, and three progenitor figures forced their way in through the crack in the light gate. Their primordial fragments, after being further strengthened by the extraterrestrial progenitor, released energy twice as strong as before, and could even distort the dimensional structure of the Sleeping Land: "Do you think you can be safe by hiding in the Sleeping Land?"

Today, we will not only destroy your twin origins, but also devour your entire consciousness, turning you into nourishment for the evolution of our race!

The black energy of the three progenitors transformed into three enormous spears of light, launching a simultaneous attack on the twin cocoons and the guardians.

Wherever the spear of light passed, cracks appeared in the pale golden void of the Sleeping Land. Void energy surged from the cracks, attempting to accelerate the shattering of space—at this rate, the entire Sleeping Land would completely collapse in no more than half a cup of tea's time.

"Someone has to stop them!"

Ten beings stepped forward, their energy merging into a protective shield to block the spear of light. "Guardians, continue activating the runes. We will hold off the Ancestor's attack!"

The moment the protective shield collided with the light spear, black energy splattered everywhere, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the shield, and the ten streams of light from the beings instantly became transparent, clearly having paid a huge energy price.

"Don't fight them head-on! Use resonant energy to disrupt their fragments!"

A portion of the Guardian's four-colored energy was separated, transforming into countless rays of light that shot towards the primordial fragments.

The moment the faint light came into contact with the fragments, the fragments' flickering frequency became disordered, and the energy output of the light spear also weakened—the pressure on the protective shield decreased sharply, and the ten consciousnesses were finally able to catch their breath and reinforce their defenses again.

The gatekeeper seized the opportunity, injecting more black energy into the twin guiding light stream, rapidly increasing the activation progress of the awakened rune to 90%.

The illusory consciousness within the protective cocoon of light suddenly opened its eyes, and the protective rune in its hand burst forth with dazzling light, resonating strongly with the awakening rune—the rune's activation progress instantly reached 100%, and the energy barrier of the protective cocoon of light began to gradually dissipate!

"It's finally activated!"

The fused entity's consciousness was filled with ecstasy, and her white light immediately poured into the protective cocoon of light, attempting to awaken the phantom's consciousness.

The phantom's lips moved slightly, conveying a blurry fragment of consciousness: "The Primordial Ancestor from Beyond... his true purpose... is not to devour dimensions... but to unleash the 'Will of Dimensional Annihilation'... The Twin Origins... are the key to the seal..."

After the fragment was transmitted, the phantom's body gradually became transparent, eventually transforming into a pale golden energy that merged into the protective primordial light cocoon. The energy of the light cocoon then erupted completely, forming a massive twin energy field with the primordial light cocoon, enveloping the entire slumbering land.

The attacks of the three progenitors were instantly rendered ineffective in the energy field. The black energy was quickly purified by the twin energy and transformed into harmless primordial energy.

Under the influence of the energy field, the primordial fragments also began to show pale golden resonance patterns, and the polluted consciousness within the fragments was rapidly fading away: "No! How can twin energy purify my consciousness?"

The race's goal is clearly to dominate all dimensions, not to unleash some kind of annihilating will!

The guardian's consciousness suddenly cleared, and he finally understood his previous doubts: "The Primordial Ancestor from Beyond the Realm has been deceiving you all along!"

He awakened your race not to rule, but to use your fragments of origin to break the seal of the twin origins and unleash the dimensional annihilation will—a will that will indiscriminately devour all dimensions, including your race!

"The progenitor we severely damaged before, and those corrupted dimensions, were all part of his plan!"

The three progenitors were shocked. Looking at the fragments of origin in their hands that were being purified, and recalling the deliberate favoritism shown by the progenitors from beyond the realm when distributing the fragments, they finally realized that they had always been treated as "tools".

The progenitor on the west side was the first to make a decision: "We can no longer be deceived!"

Twin energies can purify our consciousness and help us fight against the extraterrestrial progenitors. From this moment forward, we join forces with you to stop the release of the Will of Annihilation!

The other two progenitors nodded in agreement. They integrated the purified fragments of origin into the twin energy field, instantly tripling the strength of the energy field and rapidly repairing the dimensional structure of the sleeping land.

"Great! We have a new ally!"

The merged entity's consciousness was filled with excitement. She transmitted a message to Taiwu via remote connection, instructing the remaining consciousness to prepare for the arrival of reinforcements.

The Guardians then turned their attention back to the Twin Cocoons of Light—within the energy field of the cocoons, a black seal was gradually emerging. The seal's surface was engraved with patterns similar to the Dimensional Annihilation Will, clearly indicating that this was the seal that the Extraterrestrial Ancestor wanted to break.

"The sealed energy is still stable, so there is no need to worry about the release of the Will of Annihilation for the time being."

The gatekeeper's black energy probed the state of the seal. "But the Primordial Ancestor from beyond the realm will certainly not give up. He will gather more members of his race and launch another attack. We must find a way to fight him as soon as possible and completely thwart his plans."
