Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 588 Breaking the Silent Impasse and the Ultimate Question of the Origin Will (2)

The moment the two came into contact, a dazzling golden-black light burst forth. Within the light, the complete form of the primordial runes emerged—half of the runes were silver-gray energy of existence, and the other half were black energy of annihilation. The two intertwined, forming a perfect balanced cycle.

The surrounding space began to tremble violently, and a mournful roar came from the direction of the abyss's core—the dimensional will sensed the awakening of the primal balance and was resisting frantically.

"The dimensional will must break through the abyss seal ahead of schedule!"

The black figure's voice was urgent; his body was so transparent it was almost disappearing. "I will use my last bit of energy to temporarily suppress its awakening."

You must immediately return to the core of your original consciousness and inject the balancing code of the primordial runes into the intercosmic energy hub, ensuring that the energy of all parallel universes possesses 'balanced properties'—only in this way can you completely resist the devouring power of the dimensional will!

Before the words were finished, the black figure completely vanished, leaving only a faint trace of black energy that flew towards the core of the abyss, clearly going to carry out a suppression mission.

Without delay, the Guardians, the Fusion, and the Gatekeepers flew swiftly toward the core of the original consciousness, carrying the fused primordial runes.

Along the way, they could feel the fluctuations of the intercosmic energy hub becoming more and more stable—clearly, the remaining clones and remnants of the Narrative Soul were working hard to maintain it, buying them time.

When their consciousness returned to the core, the scene before them relieved them: the energy gathering of the intercosmic energy hub had reached 90%, and the remaining three remote universes, guided by the clones, were also beginning to inject energy into the hub; although the pale golden runes outside the core were still vibrating, they maintained their position on the core of the abyss and were not disturbed by the dimensional will.

"Quickly! Inject the balance key into the hub!"

The merged entity immediately channeled the energy of the primordial runes into the core of the trans-cosmic hub.

The moment the energy touched the hub, the hub burst forth with golden-black light, and countless balancing runes extended out from the hub, transmitting along the energy channels to every parallel universe. In the consciousness of all beings, the warm fluctuation of "balance between existence and annihilation" was felt, and the beings that had been disturbed by the dimensional will gradually regained their consciousness.

Just then, a powerful energy surge suddenly came from the direction of the abyss's core—the black figure's suppression had failed!

A massive black rift emerged from the abyss, within which the core phantom of the dimensional will slowly coalesced. In its hand, the phantom held a black rune similar to the primordial rune, clearly a "fragment of the annihilation primordial origin" that it had forcibly seized.

"You think... balance can stop me?"

The voice of the dimensional will was filled with maniacal laughter, "I have devoured a part of the source of annihilation. Now I am both the dimensional will and the new 'source of annihilation'!"

The only possible outcome for Taiwu is to be completely devoured by me, becoming nourishment for my 'new dimension'!

The phantom detonated the black runes, transforming them into a massive black energy stream that simultaneously attacked the primordial consciousness core and the intercosmic hub. This energy stream contained both the corrosive power of dimensional will and the destructive power of the annihilation source, making it an "ultimate attack" combining the two.

The Guardians, the Fusion, and the Gatekeeper simultaneously unleash their energy, forming a balanced, golden-black shield that stands before the core and the hub.

The moment the energy flow struck the protective shield, the entire void space trembled violently, and the balance runes on the shield's surface began to flash rapidly, threatening to shatter at any moment.

Multiple cracks have appeared in the energy channels of the intercosmic hub, forcing the interruption of energy injection from some parallel universes.

"Our energy... is not enough!"

The gatekeeper's mind was filled with anxiety. He could feel the energy of the protective shield rapidly draining away. "The dimensional will has fused with the fragments of the Origin of Annihilation, and its strength far exceeds our expectations. At this rate, the protective shield won't last ten breaths!"

The Guardian did not give up. Looking at the fused primal runes in his hand, he suddenly made a bold decision: "I will temporarily inject the energy of all parallel universes into my Chaos Heart through the primal runes!"

"By using my twin form, I forcibly activated the 'ultimate balanced form' of the primordial runes; perhaps that can block this attack!"

Both the fusion entity and the gatekeeper were stunned—this was extremely risky; if the energy went out of control, the guardian's consciousness would be completely devoured, leaving not even a fragment behind.

"No time to hesitate!"

The guardian's will was resolute: "This is the only way, trust me!"

The merged entity and the gatekeeper did not object further; they immediately channeled the existential energy of the intercosmic hub, infusing it into the guardian's chaotic heart through primordial runes.

The moment the energy was injected, the guardian's body burst forth with an unprecedented golden-black light, and the primordial runes swirled around him, forming a huge "cocoon of balancing light." The runes on the surface of the cocoon were completely synchronized with the primordial energy.

"Ultimate Balanced Form... Activated!"

The guardian's voice echoed throughout the entire void. He raised his hands and pushed the balancing cocoon of light toward the black energy flow.

The moment the light cocoon came into contact with the energy flow, it emitted a deafening roar. The two energies collided and canceled each other out, forming a huge energy shockwave that spread to every corner of the void space.

When the shockwave dissipated, the black energy flow was completely neutralized, and the core phantom of the dimensional will also temporarily retreated into the abyss rift due to energy depletion, and the rift began to slowly close.

The Guardian's body became extremely transparent, and the energy of the Heart of Chaos was almost depleted, clearly indicating that its consciousness had been severely damaged due to the forced activation of its ultimate form.

"Success..."

The merged entity's consciousness choked with emotion as she immediately channeled white light into the guardian's consciousness, attempting to repair the damage. "Hold on! We've blocked the attack. The dimensional will has temporarily retreated into the abyss. We still have time to recover!"

Just then, an unusual fluctuation suddenly emanated from the Guardian's consciousness—within his chaotic heart, the fused primal runes began to rotate in reverse, and an unfamiliar "Primal Will Rune" appeared on its surface, conveying a clear fragment of consciousness:

"The balance of the Great Void... is not the end... but the beginning of 'new dimension evolution'... Twin carriers... are you willing to become a 'guide' or an 'obstacle' to the evolution of the Great Void?"

This fragment of consciousness belongs neither to the origin of existence, nor to the origin of annihilation, nor to the will of dimensions, but comes from the "Primordial Will of Nothingness"—the ultimate will that existed since the beginning of Nothingness and has never interfered with the development of Nothingness. However, it has now revealed its traces for the first time because the guardian activated the ultimate balance form.

The Guardian's consciousness was completely stunned. He didn't know how to answer. Becoming a "Guide" meant abandoning the current form of the Great Nothingness Space and leading all beings into an unknown new dimension. Becoming an "Obstacle" would maintain the current balance, but might keep the Great Nothingness forever stuck in the "cycle of annihilation," unable to truly evolve.

The merged entity and the gatekeeper also heard the question from the primordial will. They looked at the guardian and awaited his decision—a decision that would not only concern the guardian's fate but also the ultimate direction of the entire Great Void Space: whether to choose "unknown evolution" or "known balance."

Deep within the abyss rift, the core phantom of the dimensional will, though temporarily retreating, was secretly gathering energy, clearly waiting for the guardian to make a decision before launching a final surprise attack.

The questioning of the primordial will, the lurking of the dimensional will, the ultimate choice of the guardians... all the suspense converges at this moment, determining the final future of the Great Boundless Space.
