Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 264 Quantum Awakening

At the moment Li Zhao resolutely stepped into the portal, an irresistible force suddenly erupted.

This mysterious and violent energy is the legendary quantum turbulence!

It quickly wrapped up three people including Li Zhao, and mercilessly dragged them into an unprecedented, bizarre and strange world.

This world is constructed entirely of codes that emit dazzling light, like a dream city made of numbers and information.

Countless colorful neon-colored data streams flow freely in the endless void like a surging torrent.

These densely packed strings of data seem to have life, and each of them is constantly updating the ups and downs of fate in a parallel world in real time.

Some codes flashed happily, emitting a bright and warm light, as if telling people about the beautiful scenes of civilizations that are thriving and flourishing.

However, other codes appear dim and even continue to collapse and reorganize, like stars that are about to go out, symbolizing the tragic fate of universes heading towards destruction and end.

In the center of this dazzling ocean of data streams, the Arbitrator's cold and majestic mechanical head quietly floats.

His chest cavity suddenly opened up, revealing the beating baby's palm print at the core.

This strange palm print is like a miniature black hole, greedily devouring all the light around it, forming a dark and deep area around it, giving people a creepy feeling.

"Welcome to the mysterious and powerful heart of the law of cause and effect."

The arbitrator's cold and emotionless voice came, mixed with the noisy hum of a torrent of data and information.

The metallic robotic arm, which had originally been extremely hard and flashing with a cold light, suddenly began to tremble violently as if it had life, and then rapidly split into countless tiny nanorobots at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

These nanorobots seemed to be driven by some mysterious force, flying at high speed in the air and intertwining with each other, weaving out a series of extremely complex calculation formulas in an instant.

Suddenly, a clear and loud dragon roar was heard. It turned out that the ice blade in Su Mengyao's hand, which emitted a biting coldness, launched the first attack.

The half-black and half-white sharp sword energy was like a lightning that cut through the sky, rushing towards the arbitrator with a terrifying power that could destroy the world. Wherever it passed, even the surrounding space was cracked.

What was unexpected was that the moment such a powerful sword energy came into contact with the Arbitrator, it melted and disintegrated instantly like ice and snow encountering flames, and was decomposed into the most basic digital codes - 0 and 1. Then, these digital codes, like a group of well-trained soldiers, were uniformly integrated into the lines on the Arbitrator's body that shone with dazzling golden light.

The spiritual messenger beside her was not to be outdone. She held the staff inlaid with sparkling gems tightly in her hands and muttered something.

As a dazzling light flashed, a layer of beautiful rainbow barrier like a dream emerged out of thin air, protecting her and Su Mengyao firmly behind it.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. This seemingly indestructible rainbow barrier was completely vulnerable to the surging data flow. In the blink of an eye, it was completely devoured and eventually turned into strange energy as thick as a baby's palm print, which continuously flowed towards the arbitrator.

"No! He's madly absorbing the power of our attacks!"

The Spirit Envoy's beautiful eyes opened wide, her face filled with astonishment. Through the Eye of Samsara, she saw a horrifying and shocking scene: inside the Arbitrator's huge body, a faint shadow of a baby was waving its little hands wildly, greedily sucking on the powerful energy absorbed from the two of them.

With the injection of every bit of energy, the outline of the baby's body became clearer and clearer, and the aura emanating from its body became more and more terrifying, as if it was about to break out of its body and come into the world in the next second.

Li Zhao tightly grasped the crystal clear yet incomplete crystal fragment in his hand, and a strange and weak pulse was transmitted to his palm through his fingertips.

He held his breath and concentrated, carefully feeling the pulse. Gradually, he was surprised to find that it was exactly the same as the heartbeat frequency of a baby, as if there was some mysterious connection between the two, and they were echoing and resonating with each other in a wonderful way.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed through Li Zhao's mind like lightning. He suddenly realized it and shouted loudly: "We must not resort to offensive means. This will only make the situation worse! We must find a way to awaken the baby's autonomous consciousness!"

His voice was like a huge bell, stirring up ripples in the surging torrent of data and quickly producing a strong resonance effect.

The originally dense and rapidly flowing codes around were impacted by this powerful force and immediately scattered like a flock of frightened birds.

Hearing Li Zhao's cry, the other two immediately understood. They stopped the attacks they were launching without hesitation and instead poured all their strength into the crystal fragment.

In an instant, the crystal fragments seemed to be ignited, emitting a dazzling soft light.

These lights were like lively elves, jumping happily, interweaving and merging with each other, gradually outlining a vague human figure.

As the light grew brighter, the data stream began to change and reorganize dramatically.

They seem to have life, arranged and combined in an orderly manner according to certain specific rules.

Under the anxious and expectant gazes of the crowd, a clearly visible quantum form of a baby slowly emerged.

The huge mechanical body of the Arbitrator that had been blocking the way also began to shake abnormally and collapse.

There was a crackling sound, and the parts and armor on the mechanical shell fell off one after another, revealing a creepy body hidden underneath.

Although the body was wearing the same armor as Li Zhao's, the skin on the surface had long been rotten and peeled off in large chunks, exposing the constantly beating mechanical internal organs underneath.

Those metal organs flashed with a cold light and emitted a pungent smell of engine oil, which made people shudder.

“I’ve finally waited for this day!”

The rotten body suddenly opened its mouth, and a creepy, disgusting and sticky sound came out from its long-damaged vocal cords.

The voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, carrying with it endless resentment and pain.

"I am the first vessel of the God of Dimensions! Yet, I have been ruthlessly imprisoned in this cold and lifeless mechanical body, spending a long 7,200 reincarnations!"

As the words came out, the body began to tremble slightly, and foul-smelling liquid continued to drip from it, emitting bursts of pungent smell.

Li Zhao, standing nearby, was filled with astonishment. He stared wide-eyed at the terrifying and mysterious being before him, his lips slightly parted as he managed to utter a few words with difficulty, "Who...who are you?"

&34;I am Li Zhao No. 0.&34; The body's rotting lips split open, revealing metal dentures.&34;

In my first reincarnation, I chose to be a vessel, but was betrayed by the God of Dimension. It extracted my consciousness, trapped me in this body, and forced me to carry out its will.

The infant's quantum form suddenly shone with dazzling light, drawing the three into its consciousness. Li Zhao saw the truth of all reincarnations—each Li Zhao repeating the same choices, with the infant as the only variable. In one parallel world, he saw himself holding a crying baby, guarded by Su Mengyao and the Spirit Envoy. In another, he saw himself transformed into the Lord of Darkness, and the infant as the Holy Maiden of Light.

&34；打破循环的方法只有一个。&34； 第 0 号李昭的声音从虚空中传来，腐烂的躯体在数据流中若隐若现，&34；让婴儿选择自己的命运。&34；

Li Zhao handed the crystal fragment to the baby, and the spiral mark on the fragment resonated with the baby's palm prints.

A star map of all parallel worlds emerged in the baby's pupils, and his voice echoed across seven thousand time and space: "I choose to be a bridge."

The baby's body began to decompose, turning into countless points of light that merged into the entire universe.

In a world ruled by darkness, spots of light turned into seeds of hope, giving birth to new life where light and darkness coexist.

In a technologically advanced world, a point of light becomes the core of a quantum computer, ushering in a new era of consciousness uploading.

When Li Zhao and the other two returned to reality, they found that the palm prints of babies in all parallel worlds were emitting soft light.

The Arbitrator's mechanical head fell to the ground, and the baby's palm print at the core disappeared, leaving only a flickering quantum ghost.

"Success?" Su Mengyao gripped the ice blade tightly, and the outline of a baby emerged on the half-black and half-white sword.

Li Zhao shook his head, the crystal fragments burning in his palm: "The real balance has just begun."

Suddenly, all the babies in the parallel worlds opened their eyes at the same time, and the figures of Li Zhao and the other two appeared in their pupils. The voice of the God of Dimensions echoed throughout the multiverse: "The 7,202nd reincarnation has officially begun."

Li Zhao and the other two smiled at each other and stepped into the new portal. Behind them, the crying of a baby and the whisper of the God of Dimensions intertwined: "Remember, balance is an eternal game..."

As the portal closed, Li Zhao watched as the decaying body of Li Zhao No. 0 was consumed by the data stream. His final wisp of consciousness transformed into a pinprick of light, merging into the infant's quantum form. In a distant parallel world, a child was born. The lines of his palm shone with the images of Li Zhao and the other two, as well as the mechanical heart of Li Zhao No. 0...
