Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1183 - 635: The Radiant Emperor’s Plot? Panel Awakening

Throughout these past ten millennia, Su Yu had been left wondering about the true whereabouts of the Radiant Emperor.

He frequently attempted to reach out by praying within his own consciousness, hoping to establish a connection with the figure.

In the end, the only answer he ever received was the echo of his own voice.

The reality had become clear: Su Yu was now the Radiant Emperor himself. Whenever anyone sent prayers to the Emperor, it was Su Yu who stood on the receiving end.

Even when he addressed the entity in his own prayers, the result remained identical.

It was as if the Radiant Emperor had never truly existed, and from start to finish, only Su Yu had ever occupied that space.

This existence left Su Yu feeling profoundly isolated and helpless.

It even caused him to entertain the possibility that the Radiant Emperor was a myth, and that he, Su Yu, had been the only one there all along.

Naturally, Su Yu quickly cast such doubts aside. His memories and his patterns of thought served as unshakable proof that he and the Radiant Emperor were, without question, two distinct beings.

Su Yu even attempted to utilize the Star Tower to scour the entirety of the universe for clues.

His efforts proved fruitless; there was not a trace of the Radiant Emperor to be discovered anywhere.

He checked the deepest corners of the Subspace, but that was just as futile; neither the golden figure nor his essence could be found within that realm.

It was only now that Su Yu finally realized the truth.

The Radiant Emperor had actually traveled to the Azure Star System ten thousand years into the future, effectively adopting Su Yu’s own persona.

He had usurped his identity and was living as him within the Azure Star System.

"What is his endgame in all of this?"

Su Yu felt both bewildered and deeply suspicious.

While he had remained trapped on the Golden Throne, enduring a decade of millennia as a withered husk, the Radiant Emperor had been roaming free, masquerading as him.

This reeked of a trap or a long-gestating conspiracy against him.

Though Su Yu was reluctant to paint the Radiant Emperor as a schemer, the evidence left him little room to believe otherwise.

The Radiant Emperor had rendered great service to the Human Empire, and he had certainly lent Su Yu a helping hand in the past.

Deep down, Su Yu still held a sense of reverence for him.

Nevertheless, if the Radiant Emperor had indeed spun a web of deceit intending to do him harm, Su Yu would not stand by as a passive victim.

"I have acted as your mummified shell for ten thousand years; whatever debt of gratitude I owed has been settled."

"If there is no proper justification coming my way, do not blame me for being ruthless..."

Su Yu murmured these silent warnings to himself.

During those ten thousand years, he never left the throne, finding himself in a constant battle against the daily corrosion of the twenty Princes. He lacked the means to purge their corrupting presence, and in reality, the erosion had only deepened with time.

However, this process had taken on a bidirectional nature.

While the twenty Princes chewed away at Su Yu’s Source of Cause and Effect, Su Yu had exerted his immense willpower to strike back, inversely eroding the power of the Princes themselves.

Currently, Su Yu had gained the ability to command a portion of that strength—a force sufficient to send shockwaves through the entire cosmos.

Su Yu surmised that even at the height of the Radiant Emperor’s power, he might not have attained such a level of strength.

If the Radiant Emperor truly held malicious intentions, he had better prepare himself to face the consequences of Su Yu’s retribution.

Despite this, Su Yu refrained from taking any impulsive action.

Powerful as he had become, his capabilities were tethered to significant limitations.

Over the past ten thousand years, whenever the Human Empire faced catastrophic events, Su Yu would project his power to fend off the threats.

The price for such intervention was an acceleration of that mutual erosion.

The ultimate fear was that Su Yu and the twenty Princes might eventually lose their individuality and merge into a singular, warped existence.

For the Princes, such a fate mattered little, as their Power of Mutation compelled them to survive at any cost, even if it meant shedding their original selves.

Su Yu, however, held no desire to fuse with those twenty monstrosities, and he had thus been extremely sparing with his interventions.

Though he now felt the itch to strike, he kept his impulses firmly under control.

Instead, he continued his surveillance through the Star Tower signal, determined to fully understand the Radiant Emperor’s true motives before committing to a course of action.

Su Yu watched from afar as the Radiant Emperor, residing in the Azure Star System, burned with a radiant golden light.

To the common eye, however, this glow was invisible, and they merely saw him as an ordinary person.

Following the path Su Yu once walked, the Radiant Emperor had opened a small, humble workshop for mechanical repairs.

Beside him stood an assistant—not Nuonuo, but a pitch-black Mechanical Creation that emanated an aura of terrifying intensity.

Su Yu wondered if the Radiant Emperor had successfully cleaved off his own dark half, the entity wielding the Power of Destruction.

Yet, this dark presence was also hidden from others, who saw nothing more than a standard mechanical helper.

And so, the man and his machine lived on, day after day, in their quiet seclusion.

Su Yu kept them under constant watch via the Star Tower. It served as a form of entertainment, a long-running broadcast he monitored simply because he had nothing else to occupy his time.

Strictly speaking, given the Radiant Emperor’s level of power, he should have been capable of detecting the Star Tower’s signal.

Yet, he never offered so much as a stray glance in Su Yu’s direction. It appeared he was either blissfully ignorant or putting on a masterful performance of feigned ignorance.

Time moved along rapidly, moving steadily toward another vital milestone.

This was the precise moment when Su Yu had originally awakened his Profession Panel.

Everything since then—his transition from a mere mortal to a formidable Transcendent—was about to be revisited.

Su Yu waited with bated breath to see if the Radiant Emperor would undergo any shift during this period.

Would he also attain a Profession Panel, or would he perhaps attempt to snatch Su Yu’s own?

Su Yu couldn't think of anything else in his possession worth plotting over, other than the mysterious Profession Panel.

Even his status as the Source of Cause and Effect felt like more of a liability than a prize; the ability to declare "I am your father" was hardly practical and mostly served to bring him unwanted notoriety.

The only anomaly was the Profession Panel.

Even now, Su Yu had yet to grasp the true nature or origin of that panel.

He had shattered and forged universes, built the Creation Machine, and stood as the Source of Cause and Effect, yet the secrets of the panel remained buried.

Throughout these last ten thousand years, it had remained dormant, untouched.

Today, Su Yu’s raw power far exceeded whatever systems the panel was built upon. Fifth or Sixth-Order classifications had no relevance to his current state.

Regardless, he could summon the interface at will; it arrived from the void and slipped back into nothingness.

The sheer hierarchy of the Profession Panel clearly existed on a level far beyond his initial expectations.

His lack of understanding, despite his current cosmic strength, proved its terrifying complexity.

Given such profound mystery, it was entirely logical that the Radiant Emperor would harbor a desire to possess it.

As the moment of the awakening arrived, Su Yu focused his spirit, eager to unravel whether the Radiant Emperor would manifest a panel of his own or attempt to plunder his.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the secrets of the panel were about to be unveiled.

Finally, the moment of his original awakening was upon them.
