It was done!
"Merge!!!"
A furious roar shook heaven and earth.
The entire rune-lit net, painstakingly woven, surged upward against the raging torrent of energy.
Warp threads, weft threads, shattered rune chains—they trembled and stretched like a mass of wildly dancing threads in the air.
Finally, when the rune-lit net was pushed level with the breach, both ends of the threads began to vibrate rapidly, producing a complex, chaotic resonance.
At that instant, the pale golden figure shot out tens of millions of rays. Every one of them struck a break in a length of thread, swiftly following those resonances to comb through them and reconnect the corresponding threads—
Connect!
Connect!
Connect again!
With every thread connected, the energy flowing across the barrier between heaven and earth surged through the successfully linked channels, spinning rapidly within the rune-lit net.
Ten threads, a hundred threads, a thousand threads... When a quarter of the connections had been completed, the entire rune-lit net was anchored to the barrier and could no longer be torn away.
When it reached halfway, the newly stitched rune-lit net began to glow, its color, brightness, and aura becoming increasingly similar to the original portions of the barrier.
When it reached three-quarters, the energy crashing through the rift had already dwindled, growing weaker and weaker.
It still roared unwillingly, tearing and clawing, but it could no longer rip apart the net or break through this newly patched section:
The warp threads flared brilliantly. Green, red, white, black, and yellow light circulated endlessly, forming an unceasing cycle of energy that began greedily devouring the incoming energy and matter, growing ever thicker and heavier.
Along the weft threads, runes such as "Seal," "Restrict," "Sever," and "Protect," which had once been scattered apart, resonated with one another, providing defense and protection for
