Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1162 - 614: A Hall

Upon stepping into the Space Gate, Su Yu found himself plunged into complete darkness.

Next, a profound sense of emptiness washed over him.

His body, spiritual energy, and all forms of matter appeared to dissolve away in that very moment.

Evidently, Su Yu had previously navigated the void beyond the Universe with ease.

Yet, this one Space Gate stripped him of every sensation.

To be precise, it was not mere loss of awareness; rather, existence itself had come to a halt.

Just his mind continued to function.

"Where am I now?"

Su Yu wondered silently within.

In that instant, thinking was his sole capability.

The moment this idea surfaced, the area around him abruptly lit up, revealing beams of light.

Light's presence brings forth space-time.

Still, this space-time remained hazy, and despite Su Yu's formidable power, he struggled to discern it sharply.

Little by little, the space-time sharpened into focus.

Eventually, Su Yu gained a clear view of what lay ahead.

A grand hall and an imposing throne came into sight.

The hall stood immense and spacious, capable of holding tens of thousands, yet Su Yu alone occupied its center in solitude.

Its walls, beams, and floors featured a design centered on deep gold tones, highlighted with dark motifs, exuding an air of opulence and majesty.

Deep within the hall sat a throne.

Towering at three meters high, this throne looked unsuitable for human occupants.

Crafted from solid golden alloy, it bore elaborate carvings of motifs and diverse beast visages.

The majority of those beast faces appeared grotesque, while the topmost section displayed a human likeness known to Su Yu.

Such craftsmanship not only suggested but boldly proclaimed humanity's supremacy over all creatures.

Beyond that, the hall held no other remarkable elements.

Su Yu held back from moving, instead vigilantly scanning the space to ensure safety before extending his holographic perception outward from the hall, aiming to pinpoint his whereabouts.

No sooner had his holographic perception breached the hall's boundaries than it slammed into a formidable mental force.

Bang!

Su Yu sensed his holographic perception striking an impenetrable barrier, prompting the signal to shift to protective stance, withdrawing fully into his consciousness without any trace escaping.

"What was that?"

Su Yu jolted in surprise; in that split second, had he glimpsed a silhouette?

That silhouette possessed overwhelming might, surpassing anything Su Yu could fathom.

Though his holographic perception reached River System Level, it faced near-instant repulsion from that entity.

Were it not for the backing from his Profession Panel, which granted it unique traits, enabling a timely defensive switch and total signal blackout, the entity might have traced and located Su Yu via the link.

Facing such a mighty entity immediately filled Su Yu with a weighty apprehension.

The God of Objects Candidate Trial proved far more challenging than he had anticipated.

Incidentally, Su Yu remained unclear on the precise nature of the trial process even now.

As Su Yu swiftly contemplated and assessed the circumstances, the hall's entrance swung open without warning.

A silhouette clad in dark gold armor strode in briskly from beyond.

Spotting this arrival, Su Yu's pulse quickened, identifying them as the potent force his holographic perception had brushed against moments before.

Their exact rank eluded him, yet their power radiated immense intensity, undoubtedly exceeding River System Level.

This entity's emergence stirred a faint discomfort in Su Yu.

Despite the swift response of his holographic perception signal, had this being tracked the link to reach him?

Su Yu heightened his alertness in secret, poised for battle whenever necessary.

Nevertheless, Su Yu refrained from hasty actions, opting to observe patiently and gauge the intentions of the dark gold armored powerhouse.

The dark gold armored figure halted short of Su Yu, then dropped to one knee at a distance, declaring with deference, "Great Emperor, what would you have me do?"

Hearing these words, Su Yu felt momentarily stunned. Great Emperor?

To whom did this individual direct such address? To him?

Su Yu glanced about, verifying that only they two occupied the hall.

The dark gold armored figure clearly spoke to Su Yu.

Su Yu instinctively eyed the Emperor’s Golden Armor adorning him, musing, "Could this individual be confusing me with the Emperor?"

"True, I do wear the Emperor’s Battle Armor, but that alone shouldn't cause this error. With their fearsome prowess, deception shouldn't come so easily..."

Su Yu's mind whirled rapidly, leading him to stay quiet and await the individual's next move.

Shortly after, the figure appeared to receive an unheard directive, inclined his head, and replied, "Yes, at the Emperor’s command."

With that, he rose, departed the hall, and sealed the door behind him.

Now, the hall contained Su Yu once more in isolation.

This turn of events left Su Yu somewhat bewildered. What exactly was unfolding?

Yet, with no immediate threat, Su Yu felt no urgency, preferring a measured investigation.

In truth, the candidate trial showed no apparent deadline, or at least none that Su Yu detected.

Currently, he saw no reason to exit the hall, especially with that formidable guardian stationed outside—who could predict the consequences of venturing forth?

Should that guardian realize Su Yu was not the purported Emperor, fly into a rage, and seek confrontation, matters would complicate severely.

Even staying put, Su Yu remained active.

Through repeated holographic perception sweeps of the hall, he collected details.

Simultaneously, he delved into dissecting the ongoing scenario.

"That entity just addressed me as Great Emperor, and it had a humanoid form. The sole Human Emperor is the Radiant Emperor."

"Hence, this chamber must lie within the Holy Imperial Palace on humanity's origin world, Zhendan?"

"And that throne serves as the Radiant Emperor's seat?"

With this realization striking him, Su Yu approached the throne, noting how its dimensions aligned ideally with his Emperor’s Golden Armor.

Augmented by data extracted from the hall's space-time foundation via holographic perception, Su Yu confirmed this as the Radiant Emperor’s Imperial Palace.

"Quite odd—the God of Objects Candidate Trial transported me here to the Radiant Emperor’s Imperial Palace. What's the intent? Is this realm authentic or some fabricated illusion?"

Perplexity stirred within Su Yu.

"Surprisingly, the Radiant Emperor’s Imperial Palace feels so plain, lacking the grandeur, splendor, and awe one might expect..."

Su Yu gazed upon the barren hall, letting out a quiet sigh inwardly.

While the hall projected luxury and solemnity, it fell short of befitting the Radiant Emperor's stature.

In Su Yu's view, the Radiant Emperor’s Imperial Palace ought to boast stellar luminaries as fixtures, galactic arms as supports, a cosmic vault forged from the Universe's essence, and laws woven into floor coverings...

Yet, the current unadorned chamber struck as excessively basic.

Just as these notions raced through Su Yu’s thoughts, an abrupt transformation seized the scene!

The hall, once fitted for ten thousand souls, abruptly swelled to galactic proportions.

The plain overhead swiftly morphed into a cluster of enormous stable stars, radiating boundless brilliance and warmth.

These stable stars coalesced into a galactic spiral overhead for Su Yu...
