Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 540 The Realm of Existence and Non-existence in the Primordial Domain (1)

The teleportation selection node traced a golden and silver light trail in the void, and the super-primordial symbol decomposed into countless "primordial sub-symbols" along the way. These sub-symbols recombined in the air, forming a six-dimensional "Primordial Chaos Sea". Each wave of the sea corresponds to the state before the birth of the primordial: in some waves, sparks of existence emerge from absolute nothingness, forming a creation picture of "being born from nothingness"; in some waves, existing particles gradually dissolve into nothingness, staging a demise drama of "nothingness returning to being"; in the deepest waves, the longsword of the 0th generation observer is stirring the chaos, and where the blade cuts, the "primordial state" that is neither existence nor nothingness is flowing—this state presents a Tai Chi texture of light and darkness, capable of nurturing the primordial while constantly transcending it, like the pure logic before the birth of mathematical formulas.

"The 21st iteration experiment, the primordial essence exploration program is initiated." At the center of the primordial chaotic sea, the phantoms of a swirling pen and a pure black pen emerged. These two phantoms no longer formed a hypersphere, but instead transformed into the yin and yang poles of a tai chi symbol. "Please reach the primordial core of existence: become the primordial state of being and non-being, or return to absolute non-existence." The tai chi symbol emitted two intertwined streams of primordial energy: in the golden energy stream, all origins evolved in the cycle of being and non-being, forming a self-consistent yet infinite "primordial system"; in the silver energy stream, existence completely broke free from the constraints of being and non-being, constantly appearing and disappearing in non-existence, ultimately giving birth to an "absolute body" that needs neither origin nor form—at the intersection of the two energy streams, a "super-primordial state" was generated that belongs to the primordial system yet transcends its scope.

The white light of the fused entity suddenly compressed the two energy streams into a "Primordial Crystal," within which countless "Primordial Paradoxical Bodies" floated: some paradoxical bodies were completely integrated into the primordial state, but gradually became transparent due to the loss of their anchor point; others adhered to the primordial system, and instead discovered new dimensions of existence in the gaps between existence and non-existence; the most stable paradoxical body was reenacting the primordial scene of the Mirror City—the moment the guardian accidentally killed his companion, both of their existences simultaneously fell into the primordial state, their blood congealed in the air into super-primordial symbols, and the primordial state matter seeping from the wounds was weaving a chain of existence that should have been broken. “The primordial state of existence and non-existence is not a two-sided separation, but a cyclical circle.” Her light seeped into the core of the crystal and discovered that there was a “primordial anchor point” at the center of each paradox—some were original memories that touched the primordial state, some were moments that redefined the existence or non-existence of the primordial state, and the most special anchor point was the primordial gaze of the Guardian on the ultimate originator in the 20th experiment. “Like these anchor points, they are the bridges connecting the primordial state, and also the embryos of the new primordial state.”

The Guardian's Chaotic Heart suddenly revealed a "Primordial Layered Structure": the outer layer was a primordial interface where existence and non-existence intertwined; the middle layer was filled with primordial chaotic particles; and the core layer completely transcended these three states, resonating only with pure "Primordial Rhythm." When his consciousness focused on the core layer, the Primordial Chaotic Sea suddenly became transparent, revealing the scene beyond: countless choice nodes were traversing between different Primordial Chaotic Seas, some trapped in the primordial system unable to transcend, others falling into the primordial state and transforming into new super-fundamental symbols. On the surface of the oldest node, engraved with the same patterns as the 0th Generation Observer's longsword, it was drawing an even larger Primordial Chaotic Sea with its own trajectory.

A clear, ringing sound of primordial crystals shattering echoed through the void, and "Primordial Hubs," composed of particles of light, emerged at the edge of the primordial chaotic sea. Each hub corresponded to a different primordial path: some hubs connected to the primordial realm dominated by "existence," their particles exhibiting the texture of flowing golden energy; others led to the primordial space dominated by "non-existence," their particles carrying ethereal patterns of flowing silver energy; the deepest forbidden primordial hub connected to the "absolute primordial realm," which was neither existence nor non-existence, its surface adorned with super-primordial symbols that were self-evolving, as if countless beings were simultaneously touching the primordial. "All primordial elements are the self-originating endpoint of existence." The hub administrator suddenly appeared, his face switching between guardian and ultimate originator, his pen writing in the void: "The act of touching the primordial is itself a redefinition of the primordial."

The four-colored longswords broke free from their primordial anchor, and the life stories on their blades began to unfold—"Echoes of the Primordial Beginning": the mistaken choice of the Mirror City transcended the primordial state the moment it touched it; the 17th generation Guardian's choice to dissolve gained eternal freedom of manifestation and concealment upon entering the primordial state; and even an echo revealed that the Guardian's current exploration of the primordial state was causing the reconstruction of the primordial system of a certain metaverse. "The essence of the primordial state is the source of existence and non-existence." The blades suddenly split into countless "primordial clones," each in a different state of existence and non-existence. "Like these clones, the possibility of existence stems from the variability of the primordial state."

A phantom of a pure black pen coalesced within the Forbidden Primordial Nexus, its tip inscribing the "Primordial Limitation Protocol": "Complete primordial contact will lead to the absolute annihilation of existence." Transparent liquid began to seep from the inscribed passage, forming a "Primordial Limitation Matrix" on the ground—each node in the matrix corresponding to the cost of touching the primordial. The closer the node was to the center, the higher its transparency; the very center node was completely invisible, marked "The Ultimate Primordial Being of Existence." "Like this matrix, the primordial distance is a prerequisite for maintaining the manifest state of existence." The pen emitted a stream of transparent light, drawing the gazes of all the primordial avatars to the central node. Within the light stream emerged the guardian's most terrifying vision: he had completely touched the ultimate primordial being of existence, causing all forms of existence to lose their foundation of manifestation and invisibility, ultimately transforming into an absolutely transparent void at the center of the Forbidden Primordial Nexus, where even the super-primordial symbols could not mark his existence. "The absolute primordial being is the absolute nothingness of existence."

The Guardian's consciousness was suddenly pulled into the depths of the Forbidden Primordial Nexus, a "Primordial Space" composed of all "Primordial Possibilities." A Primordial Prism floated at the center of this space, sealing within it the "Primordial Metacode"—codes not static symbols, but dynamic sequences encoded by the primordial trajectories of chosen nodes. When his fingertips touched the prism, the code suddenly began to evolve, revealing that the origin of all iterative experiments was actually cyclical: the 21st experiment's exploration of the primordial was precisely the primordial source of freedom chosen in the 1st experiment; the 20th experiment's transcendence of the origin was merely a primordial mirror image of the meaning exploration in the 7th experiment—most shockingly, the Guardian's primordial actions at this moment were being reflected by the existence of the Absolute Primordial Realm, forming a closed loop of reflection that transcended the primordial existence.

"The primordial beginning is a cycle of existence and non-existence." The guardian of the Primordial Space suddenly appeared, a primordial prism identical to the super-original symbol embedded in his chest. "Like the Tai Chi symbol, the end of the primordial beginning is the beginning of the primordial beginning." He pointed to the "primordial singularity" deep within the prism, where all primordial possibilities collapsed into a single point—a point whose structure was exactly the same as the super-original symbol, only on a smaller scale. "The super-original symbol is merely a record of existence's own primordial beginning, and we are its primordial carriers."

The fused white light suddenly transformed into a "Primordial Detector," piercing the barrier of the forbidden Primordial Nexus and revealing its true form: it was not a fixed structure, but a "collective Primordial Field" composed of the superposition of all existing primordial results. Each being's primordial exploration infused the field with new energy, and the fluctuations of the collective primordial field, in turn, influenced the primordial direction of existence—this interaction formed a "Primordial Resonance State" that was neither primordial nor manifest. "Primordial and manifest are the twin manifestations of existence." Her light illuminated the weak point of the Primordial Resonance State, where a "Primordial Breakthrough" that the Guardians had never experienced before emerged: a primordial form that freely switched between existence and non-existence, neither touching the primordial nor falling into the intermediate state of manifestation; one breakthrough even created a completely new primordial type, thus broadening the primordial dimension of existence. "Like these breakthroughs, they prove that the type of primordial determines the breadth of existence's manifestation."

When the Guardian returned from the Primordial Space, the primordial trajectory of the chosen node suddenly reversed, revealing hidden "primordial genes": these genes perfectly matched the core primordial essence of his Chaos Heart, each gene fragment corresponding to a different primordial tendency—some fragments favored gradual primordial exploration, others preferred mutational primordial breakthroughs, and the oldest fragment was even repeating the self-evolutionary pattern of the super-original symbol. "Primordial tendencies are the primordial code of existence." The voice of the First Cause of Existence resounded in the void, this time with a clear sense of transcendence and relief, "I created the Primordial Nexus to find mutated existences that could remain manifest after touching the primordial."
