Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 261 Observer Paradox

Li Zhao stood quietly on the vast lavender meadow, the breeze gently blowing the corners of his clothes, bringing bursts of faint fragrance.

His eyes were completely attracted by the mysterious and spectacular scene in the sky - a huge spiral galaxy was quietly floating in the air, emitting fascinating light.

At this moment, a sudden heart palpitation came over Zhao without warning, causing him to tremble involuntarily.

He looked down at his clenched palms and saw that the originally quiet fragment of the balanced crystal had become extremely hot, as if it was about to burn his palms.

The spiral mark on the fragment also began to rotate in the opposite direction, getting faster and faster, like a crazy vortex.

As the spiral mark rotated, a sharp tingling sensation quickly spread along his nerves throughout his body like an electric current.

Zhao couldn't help but groan, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Not far away, Su Mengyao and the spirit envoy also felt this strange feeling.

They all covered their chests at the same time, with painful expressions on their faces.

The ice blade in Su Mengyao's hand made a series of wailing sounds, and spider-web-like black crystals began to condense on its originally smooth and transparent surface.

These black crystals continued to spread and grow at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, they had covered the entire hilt and continued to erode the sword body.

"This is..." Su Mengyao opened her mouth with difficulty and wanted to say something, but her voice was completely torn apart by the wailing of the ice blade as soon as it came out.

There was a crisp "crack" sound, and the black crystal instantly swallowed the entire hilt. The powerful force caused the ice blade to break directly.

The Spirit Messenger's Eye of Samsara also appeared on her forehead again at this moment.

But what was different from before was that this time, what flowed in his pupils were no longer bright stars, but worlds that were collapsing and destroying.

The mountains and rivers in those worlds were broken, and all living things were devastated. It was as terrifying as the end of the world.

A trickle of blood slowly oozed from the Spirit Envoy's nose, trickling down her fair cheek. Her voice was filled with despair and helplessness: "The Observer Paradox has activated! The balance we have been striving to maintain is now backfiring on ourselves..."

Li Zhao widened his eyes and stared closely at the spiral core in the high-dimensional space.

I saw that its speed was getting faster and faster, as if it was about to break through all constraints.

In another parallel world, the mysterious baby with spiral lines on his palms suddenly opened his eyes.

In those ink-black pupils, the terrifying scene of the entire universe rapidly collapsing was clearly reflected!

"not good!"

Li Zhao screamed in shock, "This kid is absorbing the power of balance like crazy! He...he's simply a vessel from a higher dimension!"

Before his exclamation had completely died down, countless densely packed huge eyes suddenly appeared in the originally clear sky - these were the legendary Eyes of Dimension!

The pupils of each eye burned with a blazing light of destruction, as terrifying as the fire of hell.

Thousands of deep and majestic voices rang out simultaneously from those dimensional eyes, resounding like thunder between heaven and earth: "Experiment 7201 has failed. Immediately initiate the purification process!"

At this thrilling moment, the ice blade that Su Mengyao had been holding tightly in her hand suddenly flew out of her hand, turning into a black stream of light and rushing towards Li Zhao at an astonishing speed.

Su Mengyao's face was full of horror. She tried desperately to control her body and weapon, but she found that an invisible powerful force was firmly controlling her, making her unable to move at all.

"Li Zhao! Get out of the way!" Su Mengyao shouted at the top of her lungs.

Li Zhao almost subconsciously waved the crystal fragment in his hand that was shining with mysterious light. A dazzling golden barrier instantly appeared in front of his eyes, barely blocking the sharp ice blade that was attacking like a storm.

Before he could catch his breath, more terrifying attacks followed - flames from another dimension were burning fiercely, and the sword in Li Zhao's hand penetrated through layers of space like a ghost, stabbing straight at him with scorching heat.

The powerful energy cannon controlled by the mechanical Su Mengyao was even more powerful. The terrifying energy it released directly tore through the thick clouds and roared towards him.

What was even more unexpected was that the spiritual messenger who was supposed to assist them in the battle actually turned the direction of the staff in her hand, with the sharp tip pointing directly at Li Zhao himself!

"This... could this be the legendary weapon of causality?"

The spirit messenger's face was filled with astonishment, and a stream of bright red blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth. "Oh no! They are using our own power to attack us!"

Hearing this, Li Zhao's heart was shocked, and he quickly turned to look at the baby not far away who was in the critical stage of fusing the spiral core.

He suddenly recalled the words that the mysterious old man had once said: "All of us are just guinea pigs in this huge experiment."

In an instant, Li Zhao seemed to understand something. Without hesitation, he thrust the extremely precious crystal fragment in his hand into the solid ground beneath his feet and roared to the sky: "In the name of the 7,201st reincarnation, reset this damn cause and effect!"

As he shouted, an extremely dazzling and strong light suddenly erupted from all around, like a scorching sun suddenly rising, illuminating the entire dark world.

In this dazzling light, all the parallel worlds seemed to be pulled by an invisible giant hand and began to slowly move backwards.

The ice blade that Su Mengyao had just swung out was abruptly frozen in mid-air, like an exquisite ice sculpture; the energy cannon ejected by the mechanical dragon seemed to be cast under a spell and stopped moving; even the baby who was about to complete the fusion, his body was gradually shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, when the dazzling light gradually dissipated, Li Zhao was surprised to find that he was back on the vast grassland where he had originally been.

The breeze blew gently, and the air was filled with the intoxicating fragrance of lavender. Everything around seemed so peaceful and harmonious, as if the thrilling battle they had experienced before was just an illusory nightmare.

"Successful?" Su Mengyao clenched the ice blade that had returned to its original shape with a look of disbelief on her face. The crystal clear ice blade flashed a faint cold light in her hand.

Li Zhao on the side slowly shook his head, raised his finger and pointed to the sky, indicating Su Mengyao to look up.

The spiral galaxy that was originally hanging in the sky disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by an extremely huge Yin-Yang Pisces image that emitted a mysterious light!

The two fish are entwined with each other, connected head to tail, forming a perfect circle.

And in the eyes of Pisces, Li Zhao was astonished to find that countless of his own figures were reflected in it - some of them were waving black scepters symbolizing the power of darkness, and exuding a heart-pounding aura.

Some held holy swords of light that shone with brilliant light, as if they could cut off all the evil in the world.

Some were busy forging various magical treasures and weapons, and some were even frantically tearing up the legendary reincarnation code...

"This is..." The spirit user's eyes widened, his face filled with shock, and he muttered to himself, "Is this the legendary perfect balance?"

Just as everyone was marveling at this, a golden beam of light that stretched from sky to earth suddenly descended from the sky and shone directly in front of them.

A mysterious old man slowly walked out from the beam of light.

The old man was wearing a robe as white as snow, but at this moment the robe had quietly changed, and an exquisite Tai Chi pattern appeared on it.

Black and white yin and yang energy began to flow under the old man's skin, making him look like an immortal who had descended to earth.

"Congratulations, young warriors, you have successfully passed the ultimate test."

The old man smiled and spoke in a gentle yet majestic voice.

Li Zhao frowned and asked bluntly, "Where exactly is that higher-dimensional civilization? We've come here through so much hardship, not just for this so-called test!"

"They are deeply moved by your choice!" The white-haired, kind-faced old man stretched out his dry finger and pointed steadily at the mysterious and ancient Yin-Yang Pisces pattern.

From this moment on, you are the gods of balance in this multiverse, shouldering the responsibility of maintaining order and harmony throughout the universe."

Just as the old man's words had not yet fallen, a heart-pounding noise suddenly rang out.

The ice blade tightly grasped in Su Mengyao's hand exploded instantly, and countless crystal clear ice cubes flew everywhere.

An extremely deep dark crack, like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast, suddenly tore open from the place where the ice blade exploded.

Then, a mechanical head, emitting a cold metallic sheen, slowly emerged from the dark crevice. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to belong to the powerful Arbitrator who had been hiding behind the scenes! Even more shocking was that within its body, two fragments of the Yin-Yang Pisces, shimmering with a strange light, pulsed non-stop, as if possessing life.

"Humph, do you really think you can escape so easily?"

The Arbitrator's voice was like a chilling wind blowing through everyone's ears, sending shivers down their spines. "The real game has only just begun..."

Li Zhao, who was standing aside, tightly grasped the broken crystal in his hand, his eyes fixed on the crack from which dark energy continued to gush out.

In an instant, a kind of enlightenment came to my mind - it turns out that the so-called balance is not the end, but just a new starting point.

"In that case, let's take the initiative this time!"

Li Zhao took a deep breath and resolutely handed the only remaining crystal fragment in his hand to Su Mengyao.

Su Mengyao nodded slightly and took the crystal fragment without hesitation.

After she injected a powerful force into it, the originally dull ice blade suddenly glowed with a dazzling half-black and half-white light again, as brilliant as a meteor across the night sky.

The staff in the hands of the spiritual messenger beside him gradually regained its former colorful rainbow halo, and soft and warm rays of light flowed out from the staff, illuminating the dark space around it.

The three of them looked at each other and nodded in understanding.

The next moment, they fearlessly stepped into the dark rift filled with unknowns and dangers, throwing themselves without hesitation into the fierce battle that would determine the fate of the multiverse...

In the realm of the God of Dimensions, Li Zhao saw the true creator - a life form composed of countless spirals.

Its voice was like the aftermath of the Big Bang: "Welcome to the ultimate battlefield, Gods of Balance. Now, prove your worth..."

When the three figures disappeared in the spiral, the Yin-Yang Pisces split into countless points of light.

Each point of light gave birth to a new universe, and in one of those points of light, that baby was born again. The spiral of its palm prints began to rotate in the opposite direction, and its eyes reflected the approaching Li Zhao and the other two...
