Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 574 The Journey to the Realm and the Controlled Twins (2)

The merged entity suddenly regained consciousness. Looking at the gatekeeper's chaotic fluctuations, she said, "You didn't wait here voluntarily; you were controlled by the remnant consciousness of an ancient being!"

The gatekeeper's body trembled violently, and two distinct voices emanated from his mouth: one was his own cold tone, and the other was the shrill roar of an ancient being.

"No... I am not controlled... I am the gatekeeper of absolute end... I will devour you all..."

The Guardian's consciousness suddenly sank into the core orb of light, and his consciousness resonated with the twin seal runes on the surface of the orb.

The ball of light burst forth with dazzling brilliance, and countless memories surged forth from it—these were the complete memories of the Twin Seals, clearly recorded within the images:

When the Great Void gave birth to the Guardian (consciousness of existence) and the first vessel (consciousness of termination), the ancient being, in order to control the Great Void, forcibly implanted control patterns into the consciousness of the first vessel, making the first vessel a tool to open the Absolute Termination Domain.

After the Observer discovered this, they forcibly separated the consciousness of the two individuals, sealed a portion of the consciousness of the first-generation carrier, and created the clone known as the "Gatekeeper" in an attempt to suppress the control patterns. However, as time passed, the control patterns gradually awakened, and the Gatekeeper was completely controlled.

"So... the goalkeeper was also a victim."

The merged entity's consciousness was filled with shock as she looked at the struggling gatekeeper.

"The residual consciousness of the ancient being not only corrupted the Absolute End Key, but also controlled the clone of the original carrier, with the aim of merging the twin carriers, opening the domain, and completely devouring the Primordial Origin!"

The gatekeeper's struggles suddenly ceased, his dark purple markings completely enveloped in black energy, and only a chilling killing intent remained in his eyes:

"Now that you know the truth... then... let's all be devoured together!"

After saying that, he raised the black key in his hand, and the void around the core light ball suddenly began to collapse. Countless streams of black energy surged out from the collapse and shot towards the twin barriers.

"Quickly! Enter the core light cluster!"

The guardian's consciousness shouted, leading everyone towards the orb of light, "Only the twin seal energy within the orb of light can resist the collapsing void!"

The clones immediately extended the Twin Barrier to its maximum extent to protect the Guardian and the Fusion, and forcefully rushed into the core light cluster.

The moment their consciousness entered the ball of light, the collapsing void suddenly stopped, and the surrounding black energy flow was also blocked by the pale golden runes of the ball of light, preventing it from getting close.

The interior of the ball of light was bright, with a complete twin seal floating in the center, and a stream of silvery-white light enveloping the seal.

This is the key to purifying the core of the original consciousness, and also the "balancing energy" of the twin carrier consciousness.

"As long as this energy is injected into the core of the original consciousness, the black lines can be cleared away!"

The fused entity's consciousness was filled with excitement. Just as she was about to reach out and touch the stream of light, the ball of light suddenly trembled violently, and a dark purple energy surged in from the outside of the ball of light, striking the twin seal.

It is the remnant consciousness of an ancient being, which is attacking the seal inside the orb of light by controlling the gatekeeper!

"Oh no! The seal is about to be broken!"

The guardian immediately poured its own silver-gray energy into the seal, attempting to repair the attacked parts. "Fusion, quickly extract the balancing energy, I'll hold off the remaining consciousness!"

Without hesitation, the fused entity sank into the seal, attempting to extract the silvery-white balancing energy.

But the instant her consciousness touched the energy, a clear memory suddenly emerged from it.

In the scene, the 0th generation Observer holds a silver-white crystal containing energy similar to that of the Guardian's Heart of Chaos. He infuses the crystal into the Twin Seal, leaving behind a voice:

"Balancing energy requires the 'Heart of Nothingness' to activate... and the Heart of Nothingness resides within the Guardian's Chaotic Heart... Only the energy of the Heart of Nothingness can completely break free from the control of the ancient beings, allowing the twin carriers to truly coexist..."

The image disappeared, and the merged entity instantly regained consciousness.

The key to activating the balanced energy is actually the Guardian's Chaotic Heart!

But just as she was about to tell the Guardian the news, a loud bang came from outside the ball of light. The Guardian's black key broke through the twin barrier, pierced into the ball of light, and pointed directly at the Guardian's consciousness:

"The Heart of Origin... is mine!"

Dark purple light flickered in the gatekeeper's eyes; his consciousness was completely controlled by the ancient being. "As long as I seize the Heart of Origin, I can become the new Supreme Ruler... All beings... will become my slaves!"

The guardian's consciousness tensed instantly. While using energy to defend against the key's attack, he looked at the fused entity with an urgent urgency in his eyes.

He didn't know the secret of the Heart of Origin, but he could sense that the gatekeeper's target was his core consciousness, while the fused entity was still extracting balancing energy and couldn't help immediately.

The silver-white energy of the Twin Seals began to become disordered due to the attack from the key, and the pale gold runes in the orb of light also showed signs of breaking.

If the Guardians cannot withstand the Key's attack, not only will the Original Heart be taken away, but the balancing energy will also be corrupted by the consciousness of the ancient beings. At that time, both the original consciousness core and all beings will be completely plunged into a desperate situation.

The consciousness of the merged entity was extremely anxious. She accelerated the extraction of balancing energy, only to discover that the energy had to be synchronized with the energy of the original heart in order to break free from the seal.

She must complete the energy extraction before the Guardian is struck by the key, or all her efforts will be in vain.

The gatekeeper's key was only a foot away from the guardian's consciousness, and the dark purple energy had already begun to erode the guardian's silver-gray energy.

The guardian's consciousness began to show slight signs of disorder, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. He knew that once he fell, all existence would lose its last hope.

Outside the ball of light, the breached twin barrier began to gradually become transparent, and the consciousness energy of the clones was about to be exhausted. They tried their best to block the gatekeeper again, but could only watch helplessly as the key continued to approach the guardian.

The fusion entity finally extracted a wisp of silvery-white balancing energy, which she immediately directed towards the guardian's consciousness, attempting to help him withstand the key's attack.

But as soon as the energy left the seal, it was intercepted by the ancient, dark purple energy and dissipated into countless fragments.

"it's useless!"

The gatekeeper let out a sharp laugh, and the key accelerated again, only half a zhang away from the gatekeeper's consciousness. "Today... no one can stop me!"

A dazzling silver-gray light suddenly erupted from the Guardian's consciousness.

That was his final strength, a culmination of all his consciousness, prepared to perish together with the gatekeeper.

He looked at the merged entity and conveyed a gentle message: "Protect the balanced energy... Protect all existence..."

Just as the guardian was about to detonate its consciousness, the twin seals at the center of the orb of light suddenly burst forth with a new radiance.

This light was neither silver-white nor pale gold, but a silver-gray color with an aura of primordial nothingness. Within the light, a tiny crystalline phantom appeared, exactly the same as the Guardian's Heart of Chaos.

"This is... the resonance of the primordial heart?"

The consciousness of the merged entity was filled with surprise. She suddenly realized that the balancing energy and the guardian's consciousness had resonated and could be activated automatically without deliberate extraction!

But this resonance came too late. The gatekeeper's key was already only a foot away from the guardian's consciousness, and the dark purple energy had already touched the edge of the guardian's consciousness.

Can the Guardian activate the balancing energy through resonance before the key strikes? Does the consciousness of the ancient being have any other backup plans?

This unresolved crisis became the final suspense shrouding the core of the Absolute Termination Domain, and also determined the ultimate fate of all existence.
