Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1186 - 638: Su Yu’s Variable
Previously on Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic...
Upon finishing the dossier, Su Yu found himself unable to calm his racing heart for an extended period.
The subtle message the Radiant Emperor had conveyed during that fleeting moment of silence was truly earth-shattering.
According to the information provided, the "true infinite" nature of the Primordial Universe was not a metaphor, but a literal reality.
Infinite space-time, boundless cause and effect, bottomless pools of energy, and absolute power—every single concept held an infinite scope.
Because of this infinity, any conceivable outcome was destined to manifest somewhere in the cosmos, potentially repeating an infinite number of times.
Take the Human Empire, for instance; it appears unique, yet it is not.
Billions of light-years away, there might exist another version of the emperor, identical in every way.
Another duplicate Human Emperor.
Travel another few billion light-years, and you might find yet another Human Empire, perhaps existing under slightly altered circumstances.
This is not a matter of parallel dimensions or future possibilities.
Instead, it is a byproduct of infinite space-time, where even the most infinitesimal probability is bound to occur.
Usually, no two leaves are exactly alike.
However, once the sample pool is large enough, the appearance of identical leaves becomes a mathematical certainty; since the total atoms in a leaf are finite and their potential arrangements are likewise finite, infinity ensures that identical patterns must eventually recur.
It is precisely for this reason that across unfathomable distances, the birth of other empires—even countless ones—is inevitable.
Thus, it remains all-encompassing, all-existing, and all-powerful.
Furthermore...
Everything Su Yu had experienced until now remained within this "infinite" boundary of the Primordial Universe.
Even his creation of a Little Universe, his departure from the Primordial Universe, and his journey into the Nihility beyond were all contained within the vast confines of the truly infinite Big Universe.
The so-called universe outside, or the nihilism of causality, are merely fragments of the greater whole and have never truly allowed anyone to break free.
In other words, true detachment is fundamentally impossible!
The "Primordial Universe" that Su Yu previously perceived was not the genuine, infinite Big Universe, but merely a projection existing within a "smaller scope" of that overarching reality, visible only because it was within his reach.
This was the staggering truth Su Yu deciphered from the Radiant Emperor's insight!
It turns out that he had never truly departed; he had always been wandering within the same singular container.
Of course, all of this serves as a hypothesis formulated by the Radiant Emperor, and Su Yu lacks confirmation of its absolute truth.
In reality, many powerful entities within the cosmos have caught glimpses of this theory.
While some choose to believe, others remain deeply skeptical.
For many, the idea that their Primordial Universe—a complete reality boasting nearly infinite space-time—is merely a "small scope" projection of a larger whole is a truth they are unwilling to accept.
After all, if the Primordial Universe is just a projection, what then becomes of the status of those who currently dominate it?
Whether this theory holds water is something Su Yu will have to investigate as he grows in the future.
Beyond this, the Radiant Emperor shared additional secrets.
He revealed the true objective behind his own actions.
According to the Emperor, an even more terrifying and formidable force exists within the true infinite Big Universe.
It is a force that transcends fate and remains far more elusive than time itself.
Under its influence, even infinite possibilities are tightly constrained.
The Radiant Emperor himself remains firmly trapped by this authority.
No matter his efforts or struggles, he is perpetually forced down a predetermined path.
His empire is destined to crumble, his trusted subordinates are destined to betray him, and he is fated to rot as a mummy upon his throne for ten thousand years.
Everything appears to be manipulated by an unseen giant hand, meticulously arranging every event.
Despite the Radiant Emperor's countless attempts, he has never managed to escape that eerie, invisible grasp.
Determined to break free, he has tried many methods, and this was not the first time he had initiated a reboot of the universe.
Long before Su Yu arrived, the Radiant Emperor had utilized various techniques to reset the Primordial Universe multiple times.
Each rebooted universe, in his view, was merely another projection rather than the true infinite Big Universe.
His immense power had been largely amassed through these repeated cycles.
His true age vastly exceeds the duration of the Human Empire itself.
Furthermore, because of these cyclic reboots, the Radiant Emperor’s power has only grown, and with each iteration, the established Human Empire has also become more potent.
From an empire that could originally only claim a single River System, it has evolved over time to encompass a vast cosmic territory spanning hundreds of billions of light-years.
His strength has multiplied exponentially.
However, no matter how he rebooted or how much he and his empire improved, the outcome remained the same.
For a variety of reasons, the Human Empire and the Radiant Emperor were always forced back onto their original, tragic path.
Betrayal, decline, and death remained constant, unavoidable, and impossible to resist.
Over time, even the Radiant Emperor felt a sense of encroaching despair.
That was until he laid eyes on Su Yu.
The Radiant Emperor conducted deep studies, desperate to uncover a way to defy that eerie force.
He kept everything within the empire that was subject to that power under his watchful gaze.
Using the authority of the Star Tower, he maintained constant surveillance, hunting for a potential variable.
The Azure Star System was also one of the regions influenced by this mysterious force.
In every reboot, this Star System would succumb to the same fixed fate.
In the original trajectory, the Brutal Evil God would emerge and be sealed by Zhang Chenfeng.
Ten thousand years later, the seal would break, leading to the rise of Qi Chen, a cataclysmic battle, and the eventual destruction of the Azure Star System.
This was the set path.
But the moment Su Yu appeared, everything began to shift.
The Azure Star System ceased to follow its established course, and a series of bizarre deviations began to unfold.
These changes were significant enough to shock even the Radiant Emperor.
Never in all his universe reboots had he witnessed the Azure Star System follow such a route.
Consequently, from the moment Su Yu activated his panel and began his ascent on the Azure Star, the Radiant Emperor had been watching him in the shadows.
In all his previous reboots, there had never been a person known as Su Yu.
Once Su Yu gained Spiritual Energy and climbed to the pinnacle through the panel, the Radiant Emperor realized he had finally found the variable he sought.
Yet, the Radiant Emperor remained cautious, refusing to approach Su Yu prematurely, instead opting to wait for Su Yu to reach out.
Because his dark side—the "Dark Emperor"—wielded a destructive energy so aggressive, any being who communicated with him risked being annihilated by that power.
Back then, Su Yu was far too weak to withstand the Radiant Emperor's voice, and the Emperor did not want to destroy his hard-earned variable.
It was only when Su Yu created a Little Universe and departed from that projection that things changed.
At that exact moment, not only was the Radiant Emperor watching him, but other powerful beings in the cosmos took notice as well.
They too had uncovered this variable. Understanding this, the Radiant Emperor knew he could no longer afford to wait.
