After ten millennia spent trapped as a dried husk on the Golden Throne while resisting the erosion of the twenty Princes, Su Yu discovers the Radiant Emperor has assumed his identity in the Azure Star System. Suspecting a conspiracy regarding the origins of his mysterious Profession Panel, Su Yu monitors him from afar using the Star Tower. As the timeline reaches the moment of his original awakening, Su Yu is stunned when the Profession Panel manifests for him once again, offering him unprecedented new roles.

"What is this..."

As he gazed upon his brand-new profession panel, a wave of confusion washed over him.

The interface had undergone a radical transformation.

Every profession and creation Su Yu had painstakingly gathered until now had vanished entirely.

Or perhaps, they had been "refreshed," resetting everything back to square one.

Granted, this reset point was calibrated specifically to Su Yu’s current state.

Despite his initial bewilderment, Su Yu quickly understood that this was actually a tremendous stroke of luck!

Considering that his current development served as the foundation, his future potential was truly limitless.

When Su Yu first triggered the system, the traits displayed were merely elementary combat techniques, marksmanship, and mechanical maintenance.

These were not Extraordinary Abilities, but mundane, learned skills.

Anyone with average intellect and a fit physique could acquire these through dedication.

These skills formed the bedrock of Su Yu’s early attributes, the starting point for his climb.

Using those as building blocks, he ascended into simple vocations like Fighter, Gunsmith, and Mechanic.

That marked the inception of Su Yu’s Extraordinary Path.

Step by arduous step, he attained his current level.

Now, Su Yu had reawakened the panel, utilizing his vast experience as the foundational bedrock to unlock entirely new Extraordinary Professions.

So, what exactly consisted of his current base ability?

Level 2 Cosmic Creation Science, Level 2 Spiritual Power Mastery, and Level 3 Cause and Effect.

These few words distilled the entirety of Su Yu’s current power levels.

Yet, the depth of information embedded within them was staggeringly vast.

Cosmic Creation Science was essentially his mastery over the Time-Space Mechanic path.

Spiritual Power Mastery encompassed all his other Extraordinary Abilities beyond that.

Finally, the Source of Cause and Effect was self-evident—it represented his true essence.

Each of these three pillars was formidable on its own.

Within this updated panel, however, they served merely as the threshold.

With these as his platform, he could specialize in three new classes: Space-Time Transcender, Spirit God, and Cause and Effect Singularity.

Though the specific mechanics of these occupations remained a mystery, Su Yu knew they must be insanely powerful!

Most importantly, these three professions... demanded no initiation ceremony!

That is correct; just like the early Fighter or Mechanic classes, these required no complex rituals.

The moment Su Yu made his choice, he could wrap up the profession change instantly!

Based on his history, completing a job transition usually triggered a massive power spike.

With luck, he might finally break free from his current, desiccated, mummy-like physical state!

It was clear that the reawakened panel had received a comprehensive overhaul.

Its floor was terrifyingly high, while its ceiling remained unknown.

One could only imagine that with this interface, Su Yu’s strength would skyrocket to unprecedented heights.

Yet, Su Yu refrained from choosing immediately; he needed to carefully assess which option would best address his immediate crisis.

After all, he knew from experience that he had to max out a profession before unlocking another.

An incorrect choice now could lead to significant complications down the line.

In the meantime, Su Yu kept his observation locked on the Radiant Emperor, curious about his current actions.

Via the Star Tower’s feed, Su Yu watched as the Radiant Emperor erupted in brilliant golden light, suggesting he too had encountered some stimulus during Su Yu’s panel reawakening.

A moment later, the golden radiance faded, leaving behind an evidently exhausted Radiant Emperor.

Whatever just occurred must have demanded a colossal amount of energy.

This was peculiar; any act requiring such intensity from the Radiant Emperor should be world-shaking—even a subtle gesture from him could theoretically disintegrate a galaxy.

Yet, Su Yu observed no physical fallout, and the cause of this massive energy drain remained a total enigma.

After this incident, the Radiant Emperor seemed to abandon his facade and began radiating his true Extraordinary Ability.

Previously, when the Radiant Emperor played the role of "Su Yu," he mimicked the persona of an ordinary man so perfectly that he revealed no spiritual aura at all.

Even when physically abused or exposed to lethal radiation, he never dared to channel a single drop of Spiritual Energy.

Su Yu knew that hiding within that golden light was strength sufficient to delete the entire River System in a heartbeat, let alone this backwater Azure Star System.

But the Radiant Emperor had maintained the role of the mundane Su Yu with the utmost 'professionalism'.

Until this moment, occurring at exactly the time of Su Yu’s panel awakening.

Dropping the charade, he began to exhibit his spiritual might.

Wait—strictly speaking, he wasn't stopping the act at all; he was merely switching roles to play the Su Yu who had just experienced a panel upgrade.

However, lacking the actual panel, he relied on his own reservoir of Spiritual Energy to simulate Su Yu’s growth.

By doing so, the Radiant Emperor reenacted every event of Su Yu’s life, step for step.

Without missing a single detail.

One by one—the Li He incident, the Ghost Tribe chaos, the Extraordinary Federation disputes, the Pain Evil God encounter—until the 'strength' displayed by the Radiant Emperor eventually hit the Fifth-Order.

One had to give credit where credit was due: the Radiant Emperor’s acting was flawless. Even Su Yu struggled to find a single crack in the performance.

Of course, many of the abilities showcased were merely counterfeits manifested by the Radiant Emperor’s own power.

Take the Pain Evil God, for instance; the original was a time-space clone twisted by Qi Chen’s bizarre methods. Since Qi Chen lacked the ability to shape the Radiant Emperor, this version had been conjured entirely by the Radiant Emperor himself.

Looking back, Su Yu had been forced to sacrifice his Mechanical City to confront the Pain Evil God, risking true death to find an opening for rebirth.

Seeing the Radiant Emperor reenact this so diligently left Su Yu feeling truly speechless.

He never imagined that the grand, legendary Radiant Emperor would harbor such a theatrical side.

"What is he actually trying to achieve?"

Su Yu had been tracking this for years now, and the confusion only grew.

He previously feared the Radiant Emperor intended to hijack his profession panel, but now, that seemed unlikely.

After all, Su Yu had already reawakened his panel and claimed new professions.

Yet the Radiant Emperor continued to dutifully role-play as Su Yu, with no clear ulterior motive.

"Could it be that he failed to steal the panel and is simply stubborn, refusing to quit?"

"That doesn't seem right..."

"What is his endgame?"

"Did the mysterious upgrade to my system have something to do with him?"

A vortex of theories spun through Su Yu’s mind.

These speculations generally fell into three categories.

The first was pessimistic: the Radiant Emperor failed to seize the panel and was simply continuing to try, refusing to admit defeat.

The second was neutral: the Radiant Emperor had no grand design, merely indulging in a bizarre, multi-year role-playing game.

The third was optimistic: the sudden upgrade to Su Yu’s system was actually a gift from the Radiant Emperor—that golden radiance he emitted was actually him pouring his own power into elevating Su Yu’s panel!
