Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1163 - 615: The True Meaning of the Trial

Once the immense galaxy shaped into a ceiling, stellar rivers tumbled down resembling waterfalls, forming splendid pillars inside the chamber.

Next, the floor started shifting too, evolving from a mysterious stone surface into a majestic shield interlaced with endless threads of Cosmic Rules.

Through this translucent shield, the turbulent Subspace lay visible beneath.

Myriad Demons, Evil Gods, and bizarre creatures extended their warped tendrils, relentlessly hammering at the shield, striving to invade the Material Universe and claim the souls of innumerable beings—a scene that stunned deeply.

However, the shield held them back solidly, preventing any progress whatsoever.

All of this matched exactly what Su Yu had pictured earlier: the Constant Star serving as a light, the River System as supports, the cosmic night sky solidified into a dome, and the rules intertwined into a foundation...

Su Yu's earlier whimsical ideas had now become tangible in a flash!

The whole world, the entire Universe, enormous galaxies, appeared compressed right here in this chamber.

Despite Su Yu’s immense power, he found no traces of deception. Neither his Holographic Perception, Space-Time Control, nor the scanning capabilities of the Emperor’s Golden Armor revealed any imperfections.

All of it felt utterly genuine!

Su Yu gazed upon this “cosmic chamber” in speechless awe, pondering what sort of grand creation it represented.

Just then, a voice echoed from beyond the door:

“Emperor, what’s going on?”

Hearing that, Su Yu jolted, and the scene before him snapped back to its plain, everyday form—an ordinary chamber.

It looked like the previous spectacle had been mere imagination.

Yet Su Yu knew without doubt that he hadn’t imagined it; what occurred was absolutely authentic.

After all, as a mighty existence with substantial might and the Emperor’s Golden Armor protecting him, how could he fall prey to such a simple delusion?

But if it was genuine, why did it vanish so abruptly?

Regardless of Su Yu’s probes, this remained a plain chamber, built from commonplace minerals and metals, not even Extraordinary Spiritual Materials.

This puzzled Su Yu greatly.

Moreover, the warrior outside, clad in Dark Gold Battle Armor, continued asking, apparently sensing the recent shifts.

But Su Yu had no idea what to say, so he stayed quiet.

Shortly after, though, the warrior in Dark Gold Battle Armor appeared to catch some signal and responded, “Understood, yes!”

Then, silence fell.

It was as if he had gotten a response from the Radiant Emperor.

But Su Yu had remained inside the chamber the entire time—where could such a response have come from?

“Either that warrior has lost his sanity, his mind unsteady.”

“Or something’s off with me; perhaps I believe I didn’t reply, but he heard it anyway.”

“Right now, things defy normal logic...”

Su Yu sank into contemplation.

He reflected on the sudden transformations, how the chamber had morphed into his envisioned form.

This resembled an observer effect.

But the intensity of this effect was overwhelming. With just a fleeting idea, Su Yu had shrunk the whole Universe into this chamber—utterly astonishing.

“Could this be the assessment rite for a God of Objects [Supreme Consciousness] candidate?”

“Bestowing upon me such extraordinary observational power, allowing me to perceive the entire Universe...”

Su Yu couldn’t resist theorizing.

Maybe this formed the core essence of his assessment.

Currently, he had gained early access to the formidable ability of the [Supreme Consciousness], empowering his mind to freely modify and reconstruct the whole Universe!

Earlier, Su Yu hadn’t uttered a word, but the warrior in Dark Gold Battle Armor acted as if he’d received orders—likely because Su Yu’s subconscious desired his swift departure without interruption.

That desire, via the observer effect, turned into actuality.

Thus, the Golden Armor Warrior genuinely perceived the Radiant Emperor’s directive, detecting nothing amiss.

Though the Golden Armor Warrior was powerful, he appeared feeble against a force that reshaped the Universe.

This represented a terrifyingly potent energy, yet Su Yu felt no joy in it.

For it was equally a perilously hazardous force.

If Su Yu pondered excessively, might the entire Universe crumble in a heartbeat?

As that notion crossed his mind, Su Yu abruptly saw darkness engulf him, a chilling premonition of peril surging in his chest.

“Danger!”

Su Yu hastily steadied himself, reining in his mind.

Soon after, illumination returned to his environment, and normalcy resumed.

But Su Yu realized that, in that brief moment, the Universe had possibly met its end once.

Luckily, Su Yu acted fast and brought the Universe back.

“This is far too risky; one stray thought could erase the Universe...”

Su Yu sensed growing discomfort.

This capacity to wipe out the Universe with a mere whim sounded impressive and gratifying.

Yet practically, it proved impossible to manage.

A fleeting idea or even an unconscious impulse from Su Yu might doom the entire Primordial Universe.

And should the Universe vanish instantly, Su Yu would perish with it.

Facing destruction on that vast level, Su Yu doubted his ability to resurrect afterward.

Thankfully, his quick response had returned the Universe to how it was.

Still, this approach didn’t seem sustainable over time.

For just previously, as Su Yu’s mind wavered, the Universe had flickered unstably, hinting at imminent ruin.

While Su Yu excelled at mastering his thoughts, the Universe reacted with extreme sensitivity to his intentions.

An idea sparking in the tiniest sliver of time could unleash colossal shifts across the Universe.

Su Yu could only strive to confine his thoughts to a limited scope, specifically this chamber.

Whatever changes he made would impact only the chamber, leaving everything else intact.

This demanded immense difficulty, calling for supreme command over one’s cognition.

Su Yu possessed great strength, with thoughts racing at incredible speeds, generating billions of concepts each moment, complicating the exact governance of each.

In the end, he was human, full of emotions and impulses, not an emotionless automaton.

“Might this be the real purpose of the assessment? To purge all feelings and stray ideas, concentrating purely on mastering my mind to preserve the Universe’s balance?”

A revelation dawned in Su Yu’s mind.

He at last grasped the nature of this assessment rite.

Simultaneously, he comprehended why the Mechanical God had described the [Supreme Consciousness] as so reserved.

It appeared there was little option but to stay reserved. Constantly observing the Universe without distraction each day, with the peril of cosmic annihilation from any error, made stirring up issues out of the question.

“Evidently, serving as the Supreme Consciousness isn’t an enjoyable position. Sustaining this for eons could prove more tedious than dying.”

“Hold on, did the Supreme Consciousness intentionally court death? Then dragging me in as a replacement?”

“Was it the departed Supreme Consciousness who targeted me?”

A flash of insight hit Su Yu, leading him to uncover a truth.
