Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 260 Eternal Game

Li Zhao widened his eyes and stared intently at the slowly rotating spiral mark on his palm, as if it was a cosmic vortex containing endless mysteries.

At this moment, a strong feeling of dizziness suddenly hit him, like a sudden storm sweeping through his consciousness.

He just felt that the whole world began to spin wildly, with the sky and the earth turned upside down and intertwined, making him dizzy.

The lavender fragrance that had been lingering at the tip of my nose gradually dissipated, replaced by a pungent metallic smell - that was the unique scent of quantum tides.

The strange and shocking smell hit his nose and brain, making it almost impossible for him to think.

When Li Zhao finally opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that he was already on a magnificent rainbow bridge.

The bridge is like a colorful dragon winding in the void. The bridge deck is made up of countless colorful light bands, each of which flashes with mysterious light, as if they are channels connecting different parallel worlds.

Those light bands showed a variety of bright and dazzling colors, red, blue, purple, etc. blending with each other, flowing in the void into a dreamlike spectral ocean.

The entrance to each parallel world is like a shining pearl inlaid in this spectrum, emitting a charming halo.

"Welcome to the Samsara Council." A low and majestic voice came from the ethereal space.

Li Zhao looked in the direction of the voice and saw a mysterious old man in a black robe appearing under a huge Bodhi tree like a holographic projection.

The old man's face was obscured by shadows, and his true appearance could not be seen, but the powerful aura emanating from him was chilling.

"Now, you face the ultimate test—creating true balance."

The words of the mysterious old man echoed in the ears of Li Zhao and Su Mengyao like a huge bell.

Su Mengyao tightly grasped the ice blade in her hand, her beautiful eyes revealing determination and resoluteness.

She looked across the bridge at the world full of unknown dangers, and a sense of tension and worry welled up in her heart.

I saw hot black magma constantly gushing out from some entrances, as if the fire of hell was burning.

From other entrances, pure and flawless holy light pours down, just like the light of heaven illuminating the earth.

"Is this the place we are trying to save?"

Su Mengyao muttered to herself, the ice blade in her hand trembled slightly, and tiny ice dragons gradually emerged on the surface.

These ice dragons are lifelike and swim freely in the void, as if ready to rush towards the enemy and start a thrilling battle at any time.

"No, this isn't just about saving, it's about protecting!"

The old man was wearing a white robe, and the sleeves of his robe moved without wind, as if a mysterious power was surging in it.

The sleeves of the robe fluttered, and the faint and flowing light and dark energy underneath gradually appeared, which made people look sideways.

At this moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps, and then a figure staggered out from the red entrance.

This person was Li Zhao, who was holding a flaming sword. The armor he was wearing was covered with shocking cracks, and behind him, a strange black flame was burning.

"The world we live in is currently being ruthlessly devoured by the forces of darkness. The situation is extremely critical and we urgently need assistance!"

Li Zhao shouted at the top of his lungs, his eyes filled with despair and anxiety.

Almost at the same time, a deafening roar suddenly came from the blue entrance on the other side.

Suddenly, a nimble figure rushed out like lightning - it turned out to be Su Mengyao riding a huge mechanical dragon.

Her cold mechanical arms flashed with a chilling light, and behind her followed closely a large group of fully armed mechanical soldiers.

"Oh no! Those guys from the Order of Light are purging those so-called 'dissidents'. If we don't stop them quickly, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Su Mengyao shouted loudly and waved the mechanical spear in her hand, signaling everyone to act quickly.

After hearing the two people's reports, Li Zhao couldn't help but frowned and said in a deep voice:

"The Samsara Council's duty is to maintain the balance of all things in the world, not to directly intervene in conflicts between civilizations."

Facing Li Zhao's remarks, Li Zhao in flame form refuted without hesitation:

“However, some civilizations have now completely lost their balance, to the point where they are unable to save themselves by their own strength.

Take the world you live in, for example. If we don't help, it won't be long before it completely falls into darkness!"

After saying that, he suddenly turned the flaming sword in his hand and pointed it directly at Li Zhao.

The spirit user suddenly trembled, and her staff emitted a sharp scream: "There are powerful fluctuations in time and space, the remnants of the Samsara Administration!"

There was a loud "crack" sound, and a huge crack as black as ink appeared in the middle of the ancient stone bridge!

In an instant, the wind was howling, sand and rocks were flying, and it seemed as if the whole world was shaking.

A creepy figure slowly poked its head out from the crack—it was the cold-blooded arbitrator who controlled life and death!

Its mechanical head was flashing with a strange light, and its metal surface was covered with dense data streams, like twisting poisonous snakes, which was chilling.

Accompanied by a piercing electronic cacophony, the Arbitrator's cold voice suddenly rang out, "You ignorant fellows, do you really think you can escape this fateful cause and effect?"

It happened in a flash. Facing such a powerful enemy, Li Zhao was not afraid at all. He quickly embedded the crystal fragment in his hand into the ground.

In an instant, a dazzling golden barrier rose from the ground, like an indestructible wall, firmly blocking the black crack.

Su Mengyao, standing by, unleashed her unique skills without hesitation. With a soft shout and a wave of her hands, several incredibly sharp ice blades shot towards the crack like lightning.

On the other side, Li Zhao, who was surrounded by flames, held a long sword and swung it with all his might. A blazing sword energy cut through the sky and slashed straight towards the crack.

Unexpectedly, when their attacks touched the crack, it was as if they had hit an invisible wall of steel. An extremely powerful recoil force suddenly hit them, not only repelling Su Mengyao's ice blade and Li Zhao's flaming sword, but also causing the two of them to involuntarily step back several steps before they could barely stabilize their bodies.

"It's useless." The Arbiter's mechanical arm extended from the crack, each finger equipped with a causal weapon, "The causal weapon will reflect all attacks."

The Spirit Envoy suddenly closed her eyes, and her Eye of Samsara reappeared: "I see it—the Arbiter is using the Samsara Core to reshape itself. Beneath its mechanical shell lies the imprisoned cosmic consciousness."

Li Zhao had a flash of inspiration: "Since the law of cause and effect cannot be broken, then we can create new cause and effect!"

He distributed the crystal fragments to everyone, "Using the power of balance in each world, create a new chain of cause and effect!"

Su Mengyao's ice blade absorbed the dark elements and drew an ice dragon in the void; Li Zhao's sword of fire ignited the light energy and formed a phoenix.

The Spirit Envoy's staff condensed the power of the rainbow, weaving it into a net, while Li Zhao gathered all his power into the crystal fragments, forming a new balanced matrix.

"You are seeking death!" The Arbiter's mechanical body completely climbed out of the crack, fragments of the Samsara Core pulsing inside it.

The law of causality will not allow a new balance to exist! &34;

Just as the forces were about to collide, a mysterious old man suddenly stepped in. His white robe was torn apart by the energy storm, revealing a body covered in spiral marks underneath: "Stop!"

Everyone stared at the old man in shock. Light and dark energy flowed beneath his skin, and a miniature of the entire universe swirled in his pupils.

"Yes, I am the true creator of the Reincarnation Administration. But I am also just a pawn of a higher dimensional being."

The Arbitrator suddenly knelt on one knee: "Master, it is time to perform the final purification."

Li Zhao clenched the crystal: "What on earth do you want to do?"

The old man pointed to the sky, where a huge eyeball was suspended, with countless Li Zhaos reflected in its pupils:

"We are all just experiments by a higher-dimensional civilization. Now, they want to end the experiment."

Su Mengyao suddenly pointed her ice blade at the old man: "Then let's break this dimension!"

"Impossible." The old man shook his head, his body beginning to fade. "The dimensional barrier cannot be broken, but we can choose - to become part of the experiment, or to transform into a new dimensional seed."

Li Zhao looked at the spiral mark on his palm and suddenly understood something. He stabbed the crystal fragment into the ground and shouted: "Let's choose the third possibility!"

In an instant, the balancing forces of all parallel worlds gathered in Li Zhao's body.

His body began to swell, his skin cracking to reveal the galaxy spinning within.

Su Mengyao's ice blade, Li Zhao's flaming sword, and the spirit messenger's staff flew towards him at the same time and merged into his body.

"Li Zhao!" Su Mengyao wanted to stop him, but was stopped by the spiritual messenger.

"This is the only way." The spirit messenger said with tears in his eyes, "He will become the anchor of the new dimension."

At the center of the spiral, Li Zhao saw the truth: countless of himself were repeating the same reincarnation in different dimensions.

He poured all his strength into the crystal fragment and shouted: "In the name of the 7,201st reincarnation, I reshape the laws of the universe!"

In the violent explosion, before Li Zhao's consciousness dissipated, he saw a new universe - light and darkness were no longer opposing existences, but turned into flowing energy.

Every civilization grows freely in the interweaving of light and darkness: some worlds give birth to life where light and darkness coexist, some establish the Council of Balance, and some turn the Eye of Samsara into a guardian totem.

When Li Zhao opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the original grassland.

Su Mengyao and the spirit envoy stood beside him, their eyes of reincarnation had disappeared.

Lavender swayed gently in the breeze, and countless stars emitting soft light were suspended in the sky.

"Did it succeed?" Li Zhao asked.

Su Mengyao nodded, her ice blade becoming completely transparent: "You have created true balance."

The spirit messenger suddenly pointed to the distance: "Look! The new reincarnation executor is coming."

Li Zhao looked over and saw countless versions of himself walking across different rainbow bridges.

There is a spiral mark on the palm of each Li Zhao, and behind them follow different versions of Su Mengyao and the spirit messenger.

In higher dimensions, a huge spiral is slowly turning, which is the new core of the universe.

&34;The 7201st reincarnation ends.&34;

The voice of the mysterious old man came from the spiral, "Now, it's your turn to become an observer."

Li Zhao held Su Mengyao's hand tightly and gazed at the starry sky. In some distant corner, a baby was born, and a spiral mark shone in his palm.

In a higher dimension, a new civilization was observing this nascent universe. On their technology tree, spiral patterns identical to those of the Eye of Samsara were evident...
