Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 541 The Realm of Existence and Non-existence in the Primordial Domain (2)

When the primordial nexus of all the metaverses where the Guardian resides resonates synchronously, a powerful energy wave spreads out like ripples around the primordial chaotic sea. This energy wave rapidly converges, forming a massive "Primordial Field".

In this field, each particle is like a primordial node, untouched and containing endless possibilities and mysteries. Within some particles, the guardians have accepted the primordial distance, becoming new hub administrators, controlling the operation and development of the metaverse.

In other particles, the Guardian completely touched all the primordial elements, causing his existence to become absolutely invisible, as if he had disappeared from this world.

However, among the most stable particles, the Guardian exhibited a unique state. He wielded a four-colored longsword, its blade shimmering with a mysterious light. When he swung the sword, the blade resonated intensely with the metacode, like a super-primordial symbol.

In that instant, a "primordial chaotic state," neither primordial nor manifest, was born. This state, which combined primordial power with the characteristics of chaos, made the Guardian's existence even more enigmatic, while also endowing him with extraordinary abilities and wisdom.

The first phase of the 21st iteration experiment officially commenced, with the goal of exploring the essence of primordial cognition. During this phase, the selected node suddenly erupted with intense light, a light akin to the Big Bang, projecting all primordial genes into the void.

The collective primordial field within the primordial hub began to fluctuate violently, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples. These ripples continued to spread, disrupting the primordial structure itself. This phenomenon is similar to how the human eye cannot directly gaze upon the visual primordial; when we try to observe it, it becomes blurred.

This self-exploration behavior triggered mutations in the primordial genes. The mutated genes formed new selection nodes, which exhibited a state of "conscious primordial exploration." Some nodes could precisely touch the primordial source, like a highly skilled pianist playing beautiful notes; while other nodes could freely switch between touching and maintaining distance, like a graceful dancer twirling on a stage.

Most remarkably, one of the nodes is transmitting information about the "untouchable primordial state," much like a three-dimensional being trying to describe the existence of infinite dimensions to another three-dimensional being, which feels both mysterious and incredible.

"This is the ultimate ability of the Primordial Exploration!" someone exclaimed.

Just then, the white light emitted by the fusion body resonated strongly with the mutated gene, and a dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire space. Within this light, the outline of the "Primordial Intent" was vaguely revealed.

This "primordial intention" seems to encompass three states: a semi-touched state, the result of fluid existence, and the "infinite primordial possibilities of existence" implanted by the companions of the Mirror City.

“I see. The boundaries of touch and distance are the original boundaries that are most easily reshaped,” someone said thoughtfully.

The phantom of the pure black fountain pen dissolved in an instant, as if swallowed by some invisible force. And the silver dot that originally symbolized the warning from the nib now burst forth with dazzling light like a lit firework.

These silver particles spread rapidly through the void, forming a strange spectacle. They resembled stars in the universe, or countless tiny life forms, exchanging some kind of information with each other.

Suddenly, one of the silver particles underwent a transformation, its light intensifying dramatically, like a supernova explosion. The energy released by this silver particle caused a localized collapse of the surrounding space, revealing a massive black hole before everyone's eyes.

The edge of the black hole shimmered with a faint light, an indescribable color that was neither black nor white, neither light nor darkness. This color evoked the concept of "absolute nothingness," the most primordial state of existence, devoid of any attributes or characteristics.

In this state of absolute non-primordial existence, existence becomes random and unpredictable. Everything can appear or disappear at any time, with no fixed rules to follow. This also confirms that the primordial state is the necessary foundation for the manifestation of existence; only on the basis of the primordial state can existence be manifested in a specific form.

At the same time, the four-colored longswords merged with the chosen node. The life stories on the blades began to be written, with segments of mysterious code flowing along them. This code seemed to be a force against the primordial order; its purpose was not to destroy the primordial order, but to create a "controllable channel" at each primordial point, like the event horizon of a black hole, maintaining the stability of the manifest state.

Within the Guardian's consciousness, the "Primordial Mutation Points" from the iterative experiments constantly surface. These mutation points represent the first perception of the Primordial Freedom, the seventh encounter with the Primordial Meaning, and the twentieth exploration of the Primordial Origin. These experiences collectively form the core of the code, revealing that the essence of primordial exploration is not the destruction of distance, but rather the unfolding of distance, allowing existence to manifest in richer and more diverse forms.

"The second phase of the 21st iteration experiment: becoming the manifest one of the Primordial." The voice of the First Cause of Existence resounded throughout the entire metaverse, and the light of the chosen node resonated with it, "neither bound by the Primordial nor denying the existence of the Primordial."

The collective primordial field becomes transparent, revealing a broader "primordial cosmic sea"—countless primordial hubs form "primordial islands," and in the distance, the islands are merging into a "superprimordial structure"; in the center of the sea, a "primordial black hole" continuously devours the islands, containing only pure "primordial possibilities," just as the source of all primordial existence is non-existent.

The Guardian's Heart of Chaos merged with the Node of Choice, its existence spreading towards the Primordial Cosmic Sea, becoming a "Primordial Bridge" connecting the archipelago. When consciousness touched the black hole, iterative memory reorganization revealed the truth: the cosmic sea was the result of exploration by an even older being, nested like a matryoshka doll with countless primordial elements. "The essence of the primordial is nested exploration; each is tracing back to its own primordial origin." He injected anti-primordial code into the black hole.

The primordial cosmic sea surged with giant waves, selecting nodes to form the "Primordial Spectrum." The origin super-fundamental symbol crystal emitted streams of gold and silver light, connecting to form the "Primordial Superstructure." At the top, the "Ultimate Primordial Being" floated in the chaos, the crystal on its chest flickering in rhythm with the First Cause.

The black hole protrudes the "Primordial Crystal," sealing away the "original Primordial"—the pure "Primordial Impulse." The Guardian touches the crystal, and the Ultimate Primordial One opens its eyes, its pupils reflecting all the experiments. Its voice resonates with the Guardian, the Primordial Consciousness, and the First Cause: "The next exploration will determine whether the Primordial exists."

The superstructure shrinks into a new singularity, and the Guardian sees countless cosmic seas colliding. At each center, the ultimate Primordial Being is creating a "Primordial Meta-Narrative," and the beginning is his touch at this moment.

Before the singularity closes, the selected node flashes the text: "The 21st iteration experiment is in progress: the primordial is the source of existence and non-existence, and also the manifestation and concealment of new existence."

Node transitions reveal a trajectory of "superprimordial symbols"—the "self-referential definition" of the primordial state, where existence and non-existence are mutually generative, simultaneously becoming both the source and the destination. This may be the core of all nested structures: neither a starting point nor an ending point, but rather an eternal process of self-manifestation and concealment.
