Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1160 - 612: The Emperor’s “Reply”
Previously on Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic...
Su Yu couldn't pinpoint the identity of the hidden watcher at this moment.
Except if he straight-up invoked the Radiant Emperor and inquired directly.
Yet Su Yu possessed alternative approaches in truth.
To put it simply, the figure he suspected as the hidden observer would indeed become that person.
If he steadfastly held the conviction that the Radiant Emperor was the one watching from the shadows, then it would truly manifest as the Radiant Emperor.
At minimum, the Radiant Emperor would pick up on the signal and detect the irregularity.
In essence, Su Yu was flipping the script by observing the Radiant Emperor, thereby shifting the Emperor's condition.
Even though the Radiant Emperor wielded immense might, this phenomenon of observation barely related to raw power.
The Universe stretches endlessly, yet the gaze of feeble beings can still alter its very fabric.
This fresh twist on the observer effect holds nightmarish potential if wielded wrongly.
Su Yu focused his mind briefly, striving to envision the Radiant Emperor within.
But mere moments into the effort, he halted.
Su Yu wasn't aiming to truly alter the Radiant Emperor's status; instead, he sought to signal the Emperor about the flaw in the Universe's quantum framework, to warn him.
Given the Radiant Emperor's vast abilities, the instant he noticed the anomaly, he could dive into an investigation and uncover the full truth.
Naturally, the Radiant Emperor might already be aware and require no such alert from Su Yu.
Still, issuing a heads-up carried no risk.
The Human Empire housed uncountable trillions of its people.
This breakdown in the quantum system across the Universe would undoubtedly wreak havoc on the Human Empire.
Any minor error could lead to the deaths of countless souls.
Thus, Su Yu deemed it essential to notify the Radiant Emperor, considering they shared humanity.
This form of observation avoided direct prayer linkage and thus shouldn't transmit any potential 'Yi', 'Ultimate Savior', or other corrupting influences that might cling to Su Yu.
Regarding the covert entity spying on Su Yu, he figured it wasn't pressing enough to dwell on yet.
Having grasped the observer effect, Su Yu could now self-observe to preserve his equilibrium, enabling him to fend off such stealthy surveillance.
Once the alert to the Radiant Emperor was sent, the next crucial matter demanded attention.
That pivotal query: should he step through the Material God Ceremony Trial Space Gate ahead?
The shadowy force obviously desired Su Yu to tackle the trial ritual.
However, Su Yu refused to be a puppet in their game.
Nevertheless, with the Universe's quantum system crumbling, without a fresh supreme consciousness arising promptly, total disarray loomed inevitable.
The Primordial Universe's will had been upholding order, but its endurance remained uncertain.
Viewed this way, undertaking the trial ceremony seemed the optimal path for Su Yu.
After all, it tied directly to the Universe's overall security.
Though Su Yu didn't see himself as a redeemer, the burden of Universe salvation had undeniably landed on him.
Trillions and trillions of lives throughout the Universe could vanish in this catastrophe.
Su Yu couldn't stand idle in the face of that.
Su Yu felt at a loss for words; what in the world had transpired?
He had only planned to collect some data and energy within the Primordial Universe prior to the Subspace tide's surge, bolstering his personal mini-universe.
How had he abruptly entangled himself in a Universe-spanning calamity, forced to rescue it all?
The scheming forces at play filled Su Yu with frustration; he yearned to escape, believing that upon his departure, another would surely step up to safeguard the Universe. Would the cosmos halt without a single Su Yu?
Yet upon deeper reflection, such an escape proved unfeasible. He was under clear scrutiny, and his mini-universe might face the same.
If escape was his goal, where exactly could he flee?
Furthermore, a chilling realization struck Su Yu.
Namely, his mini-universe actually relied on the Primordial Universe's quantum observation setup.
Upon its formation, the mini-universe featured solid frameworks for molecules, atoms, quanta, and similar elements.
Su Yu had viewed it as entirely ordinary back then.
Now, suspicions arose!
Absent a supreme consciousness, what sustained the mini-universe's quantum system?
Did it depend on the Creation Machine? Yet at that time, Su Yu lacked knowledge of supreme consciousness, so he hadn't incorporated any observer mechanism into the Creation Machine.
Despite this, the mini-universe's quantum operations had proceeded flawlessly stable.
This raised alarms; who served as the quantum observer for the mini-universe?
Su Yu pondered deeply, identifying two potential explanations.
The first scenario suggested the supreme consciousness's observation prowess was overwhelmingly potent, persisting even as a diminished shard beyond the Primordial Universe's bounds.
Hence, the supreme consciousness continually stabilized the mini-universe.
With the supreme consciousness now perished, the mini-universe's seed ought to descend into turmoil.
But that posed no grave issue; should chaos ensue, Su Yu could return and reset the universe, restoring the fallen.
A smaller vessel maneuvers more nimbly; given the mini-universe's compact scale, a reboot would prove effortless.
The second, more horrifying option was that from the mini-universe's inception, an unseen watcher had lurked, overseeing it covertly.
This watcher's purpose had preserved the mini-universe's quantum equilibrium.
The notion of a clandestine observer peering at him constantly sent shivers down Su Yu's spine, urging him to haul the intruder into the light right away.
Alas, lacking leads, even Su Yu's destiny-choosing power left him clueless on how to proceed.
'Never mind, I'll push forward with the Material God Trial Ceremony first...'
Su Yu muttered inwardly to himself.
He resolved to pass through the Space Gate, finish the trial, and ascend as the new supreme consciousness.
Clearly, he'd been marked for ages, and evasion wouldn't resolve the crisis.
Wearing a solemn look, he soared toward the Space Gate.
Unsure of the perils within the Space Gate, he resolved to stay vigilant and cautious.
At the same time, Su Yu reined in his thoughts, avoiding excessive speculation or unfounded fears.
Letting his imagination spiral could, via the observer effect, manifest those very perils inside the Space Gate, creating needless peril.
The moment Su Yu arrived at the Space Gate, poised to step in,
a abrupt shift unfolded!
Boom!
Su Yu's form abruptly erupted in boundless golden radiance.
A grand golden Mechanical Battle Armor materialized from thin air, encasing his frame.
This armor, boasting a robust and regal form, instantly conveyed the vast might it harbored and the exalted status of its bearer.
As the armor settled upon him, Su Yu sensed his strength surging without end, escalating swiftly from Constant Star Level to River System Level, and beyond.
'?!'
'Could this be... the Radiant Emperor, having caught my signal and replying?'
Su Yu jolted in surprise and swiftly pieced together the cause.
Plainly, the Radiant Emperor had intercepted Su Yu's observation, grasping the predicament.
In response, the Radiant Emperor observed Su Yu back, transforming his condition.
The Emperor's gaze triggered this transformation in Su Yu... the Emperor's Battle Armor!
