Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 674 The Mission of the Balance Guardians and the Undercurrents of Fragments of Consciousness

Beside the Altar of Balance at the Origin of Chaos, a pale golden energy flowed gently around the Chaos Stone like a tender stream.

The merged entity reached out and gently touched the energy flow, clearly sensing the guardian's consciousness contained within it.

It was that familiar warmth and steadfastness, as if it had never left.

The gatekeeper placed the Absolute End Key on the altar. The key resonated faintly with the Balance Key, releasing black and white intertwined energy that reinforced the seal around the Primal Stone.

"He truly became a guardian of balance."

The leader of the red dots spoke with relief, but also with a hint of melancholy: "From now on, we can no longer fight side by side like before."

The Chaos Witness floated to the Chaos Stone, a complex light flashing in his eyes: "Becoming the Balance Guardian is his destiny, and also the fortune of the multidimensional group."

But you must remember that balance is not permanent and needs to be maintained.

The fragments of the Lord of Chaos's consciousness still slumber deep within the primordial stone, ready to awaken again at the slightest chance, while the energy of the Balance Key will slowly dissipate over time.

The fusion entity infused the Twin Origin Energy into the Balance Key, causing the silver light on the key's surface to intensify slightly: "I will come regularly to replenish the Balance Key's energy to ensure it can maintain the stability of the seal."

Furthermore, we can set up defensive devices in the Origin of Chaos to monitor the energy fluctuations of the Primal Stones, so that any anomalies can be detected immediately.

The gatekeeper nodded and began to inscribe defensive runes around the altar: "These runes can sense fluctuations in chaotic energy. Once the fragments of consciousness show signs of awakening, they will sound an alarm and activate a protective barrier to temporarily suppress the energy of the fragments."

Over the next three days, the group set up a simple monitoring station in the land of chaos origin, connecting the defensive runes with the dimensional runes of the multi-source core to achieve real-time transmission of energy fluctuations.

The leader of the red light spots led his team to clear away the remaining space predators in the spacetime mist, creating a safe passage for the team that would later replenish the energy of the balance key.

With everything prepared, the group stood before the portal and bid farewell to the witnesses of chaos.

"If you encounter an insurmountable crisis, you can contact me through the Balance Key."

The voice of the witness to chaos carried a reminder: "I will always remain at the origin of chaos, guarding this balance."

Everyone nodded, turned around, and passed through the spatial gate into the safe passage of the spacetime mist, returning towards the core of the multiverse.

In the mist, a pale golden energy flow guided the way, and the previous dangers seemed to have all dissipated, leaving only peace and tranquility.

This is the power of the Balance Guardians, dispelling the threats in the mist for them.

Five days later, everyone finally returned to the core of the multiverse.

Inside the core, the uncontaminated consciousnesses were already waiting in front of the golden light shield. Seeing them return safely, they all emitted joyful fluctuations of consciousness.

The merged entity informed everyone about the situation of the Chaos Stone and the news that the Guardian had become the Balance Guardian. The emotions of the consciousnesses shifted from joy to admiration, and they all sent out signals of gratitude towards the place of origin of chaos.

In the following month, the core of the multi-source origin entered a phase of comprehensive reconstruction.

The merged entity became the core temporary commander, responsible for coordinating the repair of defensive facilities and the placement of consciousness entities; the gatekeepers focused on studying the characteristics of chaotic energy, attempting to develop a device that could provide early warning of the awakening of the Chaos Lord's consciousness fragments; the leader of the red light spots led his team to retrain the defensive forces, absorb new consciousness entities, and strengthen the alliance's power.

The atmosphere within the core gradually returned to its former vitality, but no one forgot the potential crisis—the fragments of the Chaos Lord's consciousness were like time bombs, ready to explode at any moment; the energy of the Balance Key needed to be replenished regularly, allowing no room for negligence; and although the Mother Nest and the Chaos Devourer were injured in the previous battle, they still lurked in some corner of the Chaos Space, waiting for a chance to make a comeback.

A month later, the fusion entity prepared to travel to the Origin of Chaos to replenish the energy of the Balance Key.

The gatekeeper handed her a newly developed "fragment monitor." The display screen on the surface of the device could show the energy fluctuations of the consciousness fragments inside the Chaos Stone in real time: "As long as the energy of the fragments exceeds the safety threshold, the device will issue an alarm. You can decide whether you need to return to the core in advance and gather power to suppress the fragments based on the intensity of the alarm."

The leader of the red light spots prepared ample anti-plunder energy crystals and spacetime adaptation devices for her: "The spatial energy in the spacetime fog has been somewhat abnormal recently, and new space predators may appear. These devices will ensure your safety."

The merged entity nodded, put away the monitoring equipment and gear, and flew towards the origin of chaos through the micro-space channel.

Inside the passage, she occasionally sensed the fluctuations of the Balance Guardian's consciousness, which, like gentle encouragement, gradually calmed her initially tense mood.

Two days later, the fusion arrived at the origin of chaos.

Beside the Altar of Balance, the Witness of Chaos hovered in front of the Chaos Stone, solemnly observing the energy fluctuations of the stone.

Upon seeing the fusion arrive, he immediately sent out an urgent consciousness signal: "Something's wrong. The energy fluctuations of the consciousness fragments are much stronger than before, and the frequency of the fluctuations is very regular, as if it is resonating with some kind of energy in the outside world."

The merged entity felt a chill and immediately took out the fragment monitoring device. On the device's display screen, the red pointer representing the fragment energy was slowly rising, approaching the edge of the safety threshold, and the pointer's jumping frequency was exactly the same as that described by the Chaos Witness.

"External energy resonance?"

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the merged entity. She sank her consciousness into the balance key, trying to sense the energy fluctuations in the outside world through the key. Soon, she sensed a faint purple energy fluctuation coming from the direction of the chaotic space. The frequency of the fluctuation was exactly the same as that of the consciousness fragment. It was the siphon energy of the mother nest!

"It's the mother nest!"

The fused entity's voice was filled with anger, "She's trying to awaken the fragments of consciousness and weaken the seal by siphoning energy and resonating with them!"

The Chaos Witness's face turned pale instantly: "The siphon energy of the Mother Nest can transmit the consciousness signal of the Lord of Chaos. Once the fragment establishes a stable connection with the signal, even without the guidance of the Lord of Chaos's main consciousness, the fragment can awaken on its own. At that time, the seal of the Chaos Origin Stone will be completely loosened, and it may even collapse prematurely!"

The fused entity immediately injected the twin primordial energy into the Balance Key, causing the silver light on the key's surface to surge. It then injected the Chaos Stone in an attempt to suppress the energy fluctuations of the consciousness fragments: "I will now strengthen the sealing power and, at the same time, contact the Balance Guardian through the Balance Key to request his help."

Just as the Balance Key established a consciousness connection with the Balance Guardian, a powerful siphon energy wave suddenly came from the direction of the Chaos Space, directly hitting the Chaos Origin Stone. The sealing light on the surface of the Origin Stone dimmed instantly, the energy fluctuations of the consciousness fragments rose sharply, the alarm of the monitor sounded instantly, and the red pointer broke through the safety threshold, pointing straight to the danger zone!

"Oh no! The energy wave from the Mother Nest has activated a portion of the fragment's consciousness!"
