Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1171 - 623: 10,000 Years
Previously on Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic...
Su Yu took a moment to reflect, systematically piecing together his recent, fragmented experiences.
He had retreated from the Little Universe back to the Primordial Universe, stumbled into the Cultivation Civilization, faced unwarranted hostility, and ultimately engaged in direct combat.
Amidst that clash, Su Yu successfully eradicated the remnant of Supreme Consciousness concealed deep within the collective psyche of the Cultivator Civilization.
Because this was the terminal fragment, Su Yu’s strike rendered the entire Universe devoid of Supreme Consciousness, triggering the catastrophic failure of the Quantum Observation System.
This event naturally drew the gaze of formidable entities lurking within the depths of Subspace.
Provoked by this unwanted attention, Su Yu abandoned his concealment, choosing instead to plunge into Subspace to uncover the truth.
There, he discovered a myriad of Dust Universes scattered throughout Subspace, each serving as a demonic hive for the torment of captive souls.
Fueled by righteous fury, Su Yu obliterated many of these Dust Universes.
However, he was left dumbfounded upon realizing that he was the original architect of these very realms!
He had traversed back in time through the Space Gate during the candidate ceremony, halted the flow of time, spent eons in research, and ultimately engineered the Super Creation Machine.
That machine was随后 dismantled and woven into the very fabric of the Universe, effectively becoming the foundational root of those Dust Universes.
Ultimately, Su Yu realized he was the genesis of this entire cycle.
"Is this truly some sort of temporal paradox or a closed loop?"
Su Yu found himself struggling to comprehend the complexity of the situation.
While he had navigated numerous standard time loops and Paradoxes in the past, this scenario seemed to transcend his entire understanding of reality.
The sheer magnitude of this loop involved the total annihilation and subsequent reboot of the Primordial Universe itself.
Since the destruction and rebirth of the Universe reset the timeline entirely, how could such a complex, cross-era paradox exist?
"Perhaps these Dust Universes relied on external forces or different power sources before I intervened, only shifting their dependency to the Creation Machine once it was finished and the Universe rebooted."
"Or maybe they lacked any origin at all until the Creation Machine materialized..."
After deliberating for some time, Su Yu arrived at a tentative explanation.
Regardless, these hypotheses could no longer be verified; the shadowy figures pulling the strings would certainly offer no clarification.
As of now, Su Yu found no indication that he could simply return to the timeline ten thousand years in the future.
His only hope would be to utilize his Power of Time, though the potential for a catastrophic temporal backlash remained an unknown variable.
Su Yu quickly arrived at a harsh reality: there is no "ten thousand years later" waiting for him.
The Universe has successfully rebooted, anchoring his existence in the "now." The future he remembers is merely a prospective illusion that has yet to unfold.
Consequently, returning to that destination is impossible.
Furthermore, Su Yu attempted to establish contact with his Little Universe and failed entirely.
The reboot of the Primordial Universe had apparently rippled outward, affecting even the domains within Nihility.
Because it is currently ten thousand years in the past, the Little Universe has yet to be forged. Naturally, it remains beyond his reach.
In the same vein, the humans and the Mechanical God he held dear have ceased to exist in their current forms.
Most have yet to be born, or at the very least, they possess no memory of Su Yu.
By surviving the reboot, Su Yu had truly undergone a genuine shift through time.
In his past trials, no matter how he employed the Power of Time, the integrity of the "past" and "present" remained largely absolute.
Even when he exerted his influence through abilities like Time Retrospection, his control was confined to a single Constant Star System.
Even the formidable Supreme Three Evil Gods likely lacked the capacity to forcibly unravel the entire timeline of the Primordial Universe by ten thousand years.
More importantly, such influence should have remained within the bounds of the Universe, leaving the external Little Universe untouched.
Now, however, the landscape of his existence has fundamentally shifted.
Across all dimensions, regardless of the timeline or his location, Su Yu has been cast back to the era of the Imperial rebellion.
This is his new present.
All his past memories—his struggles in the Azure Star System and his life in the Little Universe—are now merely fragments of a "future" that has yet to manifest.
This is not to say he is perennially trapped; he could, theoretically, wait out the ten millennia until he returns to his original temporal coordinate.
Yet, the uncertainty of what that path holds is immense.
He cannot be certain that the same trials and acquaintances will reappear when that time finally comes.
"What is the true underlying principle here?"
Even though he was the architect of this current reality, Su Yu remained baffled, unable to grasp the deeper logic behind his situation.
"Could this be what is meant by transcending the limit?"
A sudden realization occurred to him.
He recalled his previous discovery of the 'Limit Attribute', which hinted that he possessed an essence unbound by traditional constraints.
It stood to reason that these mysterious entities sought his participation in the creation of the machine precisely because of this unique potential.
It now appeared that the machine he built didn't just reboot the Universe; it allowed the Universe to transcend its conventional limits, unmooring it from the rigid flow of the standard timeline.
Simultaneously, the timeline of the Primordial Universe gained the capacity to exert influence over the Little Universe as well.
This represented an undeniable defiance of the original rules.
"It seems those higher entities intended not only to ensure the stability of the Universe but to push it beyond its initial boundaries. Has this finally been achieved? Is this what they pursued?"
Su Yu contemplated these possibilities in silence.
The trial to determine the God of Objects was cloaked in layers of secrecy, and despite his deep involvement, the total truth remained elusive.
His speculations remained just that—guesses—with likely even darker truths hidden from his view.
Since the complete truth remained out of reach, Su Yu ceased his brooding and turned his attention to his current standing.
What tangible advantages had he gained from this event?
The gains were substantial.
The profound insights harvested from his eons of researching the Creation Machine were invaluable in themselves.
Furthermore, now that the Creation Machine had integrated into the very marrow of the Primordial Universe, Su Yu found he maintained a subtle, innate connection to it.
This link was permanent; he could potentially use it as a beacon to perceive the entire expanse of reality.
Previously, his Holographic Perception was restricted to a range of a thousand light years.
Now, the signal of the Creation Machine permeated the entirety of the Universe and potentially even extended beyond it.
With a bit of cultivation and familiarization, Su Yu would possess the ability to scan the entire cosmos.
Besides this, the Emperor’s Golden Armor still granted him immense strength, serving as yet another boon from this incident.
He faced a long journey of ten thousand years in this epoch before he could naturally return to his original point in time.
However, one glaring question remained.
"Where is the Radiant Emperor of this specific timeline?"
"Am I truly expected to masquerade as this Emperor for the next ten millennia?"
A peculiar thought crossed Su Yu’s mind.
