Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1156 - 608: The Path of the God of Objects, the Power of Choice

Yet, the killing intent flashing in Su Yu’s gaze surged forth and then receded swiftly, for he had no idea who the true culprit behind it all was—aiming that hostility toward empty space would achieve nothing.

Su Yu mulled it over briefly before questioning the Mechanical God: “Does this mark come with only disadvantages and no upsides?”

The Mechanical God paused to consider, responding in a tone that carried an odd note: “Maybe... there could indeed be an advantage to it.”

“Back during the era when the God of Objects dominated the Universe, life and societies thrived across the cosmos too. They stood no chance against the overwhelming might of the God of Objects, so they revered him as the ultimate deity. Certain individuals among them earned his blessing and gained profoundly sophisticated technological insights, propelling their societies to swift prosperity.”

“In those days, neither Spiritual Energy nor Subspace existed—only raw material-based technology prevailed.”

“Once these societies advanced to a particular stage, further growth stalled, as pure material technology reached its boundary, defined by the Cosmic Rules under the God of Objects’ command.”

“No amount of development in mortal tech could ever exceed the God of Objects himself, who embodied those very rules.”

“By then, these mortal societies had ascended to their zenith, wielding tremendous power. They grew dissatisfied with mere devotion to the God of Objects and yearned to stand as equals beside him—or even eclipse his supremacy.”

“Thus, these societies covertly allied and hatched a scheme: they aimed to assassinate the God!”

“Their hypothesis suggested that utterly destroying the God of Objects would empty the seat of the Cosmic Rules, enabling fresh entities to claim dominion.”

“In essence, they sought to ascend as the genuine God of Objects...”

The Mechanical God halted his words at that point.

Su Yu urged him onward: “What came next?”

The Mechanical God continued: “A divine conflict then exploded into being, and these societies were wiped out by the shockwaves of the gods’ clash before they could execute their plot.”

Su Yu found himself at a loss for words upon hearing this.

Still, he picked up on the implication in the Mechanical God’s incomplete story.

The idea was that slaying the God of Objects might open a path to inheriting his role as the new God of Objects.

And Su Yu stood as that god-slayer, already bearing the mark.

Should the ancient societies’ ideas hold true, Su Yu now tread the road toward becoming the God of Objects.

Yet, the way forward on this road remained unknown, or even if such a road truly lay ahead at all.

That said, witnessing how the Cultivator Civilization managed to plunder the Spiral Power from the Mechanical God hinted that it could well be feasible.

This might just represent the “benefit.”

“Become the God of Objects?”

Su Yu gave a faint shake of his head; no matter the credibility of this intel, he held zero desire to claim godhood over the Primordial Universe.

He already possessed his own Little Universe, and getting tangled in the Primordial Universe’s constraints—rivaling those bizarre entities in Subspace—offered no appeal.

Still, Su Yu wondered why, given his current strength, he’d managed to forge his own Little Universe and break free into independence.

For entities on the level of Saintly Sin and Evil Fate, pulling off such a creation would pose no challenge.

So why did they linger in the Primordial Universe—what goals drove them?

“Maybe, their immense power makes this the prime arena, brimming with the richest resources.”

“Looks like my old habit of always plotting an escape was off the mark.”

After thorough reflection, Su Yu realized his earlier outlook had likely been flawed.

Though his Little Universe served as a vital safeguard, ditching the Primordial Universe entirely wasn’t an option.

This boundless cosmos brimmed with endless vitality and boundless prospects.

Only within it could he pursue growth without limits.

Earlier, Su Yu had eyed departure from the Primordial Universe because of its deadly hazards, where even his might couldn’t ensure survival.

But now, it appeared pointless to dwell on fleeing; he simply had to grasp chances to bolster his power, and once strong enough, he could perhaps secure perpetual dominion in Subspace, akin to those three Supreme entities.

From this angle, eliminating the Supreme Consciousness might unlock just such a chance.

The issue lay in figuring out how to grasp it—Su Yu remained clueless.

Without hints or leads, mere guesses and deductions would lead nowhere.

Yet Su Yu possessed ways to uncover solid details, even absent any trails.

Destiny Prophecy!

Since assuming the mantle of Time-Space Mechanic, this power had grown more potent.

If Su Yu had truly gained the shot at becoming the God of Objects, his destiny would have shifted accordingly.

He tried invoking this skill to check for any fresh destinies unfolding for him.

Suddenly, a series of images materialized in Su Yu’s mind.

In the first image, a tear ripped through the Universe’s fabric, unleashing a horrifying Subspace beast that thrust out a massive claw toward Su Yu.

The view shifted, revealing another scene.

Here, colossal creatures the size of worlds feasted on a Constant Star, and Su Yu, passing nearby, found himself encircled by the horde.

Another flicker brought yet more: Su Yu floated adrift in the cosmos, stumbling upon a swarm of unseen Deep Space Ghosts. These weren’t Subspace Demons or Material Universe natives; they wandered the void, and upon spotting a Life Planet, they descended to consume every soul across it.

Now, trillions of these Sub-Deep Space Ghosts swarmed Su Yu, turning him into their prey.

The vision changed once more; a colossal armada materialized ahead of Su Yu via hyperspace leaps, boxing him in as myriad superweapons locked on and powered up. Moments later, an onslaught of endless firepower erupted.

After that, the images raced on...

One peril after another flooded Su Yu’s sight, each showing him ambushed amid the cosmos by diverse mighty foes.

This relentless barrage of prophecies left Su Yu drenched in cold sweat.

He’d figured his strength made him quite robust, safe enough if he avoided stirring up Subspace domain holders.

But the Material Universe proved far deadlier than imagined, teeming with threats potent enough to endanger his existence.

Furthermore, per the cosmic principle of unavoidable fate, wouldn’t these perils inevitably strike Su Yu?

What’s going on? Su Yu reeled in confusion; what streak of misfortune had drawn all these odd horrors his way?

Still, these prophetic glimpses only captured the brink of attacks, withholding whether Su Yu met his end in them.

By logic, he surely survived; else, the subsequent prophecies wouldn’t manifest.

But those threats loomed so dire for Su Yu, potentially irreversible even with revival—how did he endure?

“Maybe these fate visions aren’t fixed outcomes but options—I decide which ones play out and which fade away.”

“The choice rests in my hands!”

“This marks the real boon from the seal after destroying the Supreme Consciousness!”

A sudden realization struck deep within Su Yu.

“Hold on— if I ascend to godhood and flee alongside the Cosmic Rules, couldn’t I channel that vast might into my Little Universe?”
