Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 909 Hidden Shadows (1)

Within the guardian base of the hyper-multiverse, golden primal light permeated the entire area, nourishing every wounded guardian like a warm stream.

The Lord of the Stars leaned against the energy crystal, his eyes slightly closed, the power of the stars slowly flowing around him, working in conjunction with the primal light of the fragments to gradually repair the damaged meridians within his body.

The remnant soul fragments within his body were firmly suppressed by the protective runes, and were unusually calm at the moment. Only a faint gray aura remained deep within his meridians, like a bone-deep ailment that was difficult to completely remove.

The remnant consciousness of the fused entity floated in a specially made energy barrier. Two fragments of the origin were attached to the surface of the barrier, and golden light continuously poured into her body, gradually solidifying her illusory form and stabilizing her aura.

After half a day of rest, she was finally able to barely mobilize her primal power to investigate the energy fluctuations around her. However, when she mentioned the black figure deep within the dimensional origin, a trace of fear still flashed in her eyes.

The Dimensional Origin Guardian was sitting beside the barrier, speaking in a low voice to two Origin Guardians who had regained their senses, their tone solemn.

They were reviewing the details of reinforcing the seal of the dark power, while also probing the eerie aura deep within the dimensional origin. However, no matter how they mobilized the power of the rules, they could not detect the slightest trace of the black figure, as if that figure had never appeared at all.

"That black figure is too strange. It can freely travel through the depths of the dimensional origin, hide its aura, and even possess a fragment of the origin. Its origin is definitely not simple."

"Moreover, its power far exceeds our understanding. If it returns to break the seal again, we may find it difficult to resist," a guardian of the source said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with worry.

The guardian of the dimensional origin nodded, his tone tinged with guilt and resolve: "It was all my negligence. I never noticed such a strange existence deep within the dimensional origin before. From now on, the three of us will take turns guarding it, investigating the movements deep within the origin day and night, and we will never allow anyone to approach the seal again."

"In addition, we must repair the original trajectory that has been eroded by the power of the dark side as soon as possible, strengthen the defense of the dimensional origin, and not give the black figure any opportunity to take advantage."

The two Origin Guardians nodded and immediately got up to go to the core area of ​​the Dimensional Origin to begin their guard and investigation. The Dimensional Origin Guardians stayed at the base to continue assisting the fusion in restoring its power.

On the other side, the Lord of Spiritual Origin, the Creator, and the Ancient Venerable of Creation were gathered around a dimensional map, carefully examining the energy fluctuations of various parallel dimensions in search of the remaining four fragments of origin.

On the map, countless faint points of light flickered, representing the coordinates of various parallel dimensions. Among them, four points of light emitted an aura similar to the fragments of the origin, but the aura was extremely weak and mixed with different degrees of strange energy fluctuations.

"According to the map, the four primordial fragments are hidden in the Shadow Dimension, the Dream Dimension, the Void Dimension, and the Ancient God Dimension, respectively."

The Lord of Spiritual Origin pointed to the four points of light on the map and said in a deep voice, "Among them, the fragment of the Shadow Dimension has the weakest aura and is mixed with a trace of strange energy similar to the black figure. It is likely that it has been targeted by the black figure or left with hidden dangers."

The Creator gripped the rune sword, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes: "The Shadow Dimension is the convergence point of all shadow energy. Its rules are chaotic, and it is full of unknown dangers. Moreover, the shadow creatures there are extremely susceptible to corruption by evil energy. Finding fragments there will be extremely difficult."

“What’s more dangerous is that the black figure may still be lurking near the Shadow Dimension. If we go there, we may fall into its trap.”

The Ancient Creator spoke slowly, ancient runes around him flickering slightly, "However, we cannot delay. The black figure already possesses some fragments. If it gathers all the fragments first and then breaks the seal of the dark power, the entire super-multiverse will be devoured."

“That’s right, we must take the initiative and find all the fragments as soon as possible.”

The Lord of Spiritual Origin nodded, his tone firm, "After discussion, we will stick to our previous division of labor. The Lord of the Starry Sky, the Fusion Lord, and the Guardian of the Dimensional Origin will form one group to go to the Shadow Dimension to find the fragments; I will form another group with the Creator and the Ancient Creator, and we will go to the Dream Dimension and the Void Dimension respectively. The remaining Ancient God Dimension will be taken by the Guardian who is recovering from his injuries."

"This way, we can speed up the search for the fragments and also support each other. If we encounter danger, we can send messages for support at any time."

At this moment, the Lord of the Stars slowly opened his eyes. The power of the Stars within his body had been mostly restored. He stood up, walked to the three of them, and said, "I have almost recovered. The Fusion Master can also barely accompany us. We can set off for the Shadow Dimension at any time."

Everyone turned to look and saw that the remnant soul of the fused entity had emerged from the energy barrier. Although her figure was still somewhat illusory, her aura had stabilized considerably. She held two fragments of origin in her hands, and golden light flowed around her.

"I can now draw upon a portion of my primal power, enough to assist you in finding the fragments and dealing with simple dangers."

The fusion entity said softly, its gaze turning towards the direction of the Shadow Dimension, a hint of solemnity flashing in its eyes, "Moreover, I can sense that the fragments of the Shadow Dimension not only contain strange energy, but also resonate slightly with the guardian runes of the First Guardian. Perhaps, there are secrets about the First Guardian and the black figure hidden there."

"The secret of the first guardian?"

Everyone was shocked, their eyes filled with astonishment. The first Guardian was the creator of the hyper-multiverse, protecting the dimensional balance, but he suddenly vanished tens of thousands of years ago, leaving behind only the Guardian Runes. His secrets have always been a mystery in the hearts of all Guardians.

"If we can find the secret of the first guardian, we might be able to know the origin of the black figure and find a way to fight it."

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Stars, and his tone was firm, "There is no time to lose. Let's set off for the Shadow Dimension now and try to find the fragments and uncover the secrets as soon as possible."

The Guardian of the Dimensional Origin nodded and said, "I have arranged for the guards to be stationed in the core area of ​​the Origin, and we can set off together now. In addition, I have infused the power of the rules into your bodies, which can temporarily resist the rule disorder and shadow energy erosion of the Shadow Dimension."

After speaking, the Guardian of the Dimensional Origin waved his hand, and three golden streams of rule light flowed into the bodies of the Star Lord, the Fusion Body, and himself, respectively. As the streams of light merged into their bodies, everyone instantly felt a warm power, and their auras became more stable.
