Su Yu grapples with the enigmatic revelations provided by the Radiant Emperor regarding high-dimensional destiny. To overcome the relentless erosion of the twenty Princes, he selects the new profession of Cause and Effect Singularity, gaining absolute control over the fundamental chains of causality. By stripping the Princes of their causal support, he successfully eradicates them and finally breaks free from his千年 mummified state. His sudden movement leaves the Imperial Guards in complete shock as he rises from the Golden Throne for the first time in millennia.

At this moment, as Su Yu pulled himself up, the entirety of Zhendan Planet and the encompassing Star System appeared to shudder in unison!

Golden radiance surged from the apex of the planet’s loftiest plateau, piercing the very heavens.

The word spread like wildfire: the Radiant Emperor, who had remained entombed upon his throne in a mummy-like state for ten millennia, had finally stirred!

In a heartbeat, countless members of the Radiant Imperial Guard, Technology Nobles, Galaxy Warriors, Spiritual Mechanics, and the Mechanical Divine Sect were moved to tears.

They collapsed into acts of worship, facing the Imperial Palace with hearts overflowing with a mix of wild joy and reverence.

This revelation traversed via Star Tower signals to the furthest reaches of the Universe, ensuring that even systems billions of light years distant received the alert at once.

Across that vast expanse, trillions of imperial citizens erupted in ecstasy!

Throughout the ages, even while Su Yu remained immobile, he had occasionally expended his essence to shepherd the empire through cataclysms.

Furthermore, the introduction of the Star Tower had granted the empire the capacity to navigate the cosmos even after the onset of subspace tides, preventing them from being lost to the chaotic environment.

Coupled with the empire’s persistent promotional efforts over the millennia, the populace now held the Radiant Emperor in god-like veneration.

Upon rising, Su Yu was immediately greeted by the cacophony of prayers, sounding like the roar of deep oceans and shifting mountains.

A formidable surge of Power of Faith flooded his spirit.

The sheer magnitude of belief from trillions of human souls slammed into Su Yu with incredible force.

Su Yu had once possessed believers, but they had been few and feeble, offering little more than a minor boost to his cultivation trajectory.

Back then, the impact of the Power of Faith on his consciousness had been negligible.

But now, with the prayers of trillions of citizens spanning billions of light-years crashing down simultaneously, even Su Yu’s iron-clad will wavered in a momentary trance.

Human faith contains not only pure spiritual energy but also intense, volatile emotional residue.

In isolation, the collective spiritual faith of even a hundred billion humans is merely a drop in the bucket.

Yet, at this moment, within an imperial territory spanning billions of light years, the sheer volume of belief from countless citizens was overwhelming!

The spiritual density contained within that influx was far too immense.

This tidal wave of emotional energy impacted Su Yu’s spirit with such violence that a mind weaker than his would likely have shattered or descended into madness.

However, Su Yu only faltered for a heartbeat.

Having spent eons meticulously constructing the Super Creation Machine entirely on his own, his mental age eclipsed the very duration of the universe.

Through such a boundless existence, he had tempered an unshakeable will; nothing external could truly deflect his path.

His fleeting disorientation was born only from the sudden, unprecedented density of the surging spiritual faith.

Simultaneously, Su Yu observed his panel, where the experience points for his newly acquired Cause and Effect Singularity profession were climbing at a frantic pace!

His system possessed a built-in mechanism to convert Power of Faith into Professional Experience, a tool he had frequently leveraged for his past upgrades.

Despite the high rank of the Cause and Effect Singularity class and its exorbitant experience requirements, the sheer volume of incoming faith caused his meter to skyrocket.

In reality, the empire’s population is colossal, a fact magnified by Su Yu’s previous interventions; by quelling rebellions millennia ago and deploying the Star Towers, he had drastically mitigated the empire’s losses during subspace tides.

Because of this, the worship of the Radiant Emperor had reached an zenith, granting Su Yu a flow of faith that was essentially inexhaustible.

"Such an immense Power of Faith... it seems the Cause and Effect Singularity’s level will be capped before long..."

Su Yu snapped out of his daze and reflected deeply.

"For ten thousand years, I never received such a flow. It is highly probable the twenty princes were intercepting it."

Su Yu had occupied the throne for ten millennia, yet his strength had remained stagnant; on one hand, he had been preoccupied with repelling the insidious erosion inflicted by the twenty princes.

On the other hand, the absence of such a blatant surge in the Power of Faith had left him puzzled until now.

It stood to reason that the princes had been siphoning it away.

Now that he had claimed the Cause and Effect Singularity, Su Yu held the power to manipulate causality, allowing him to erase the twenty princes entirely and reclaim this massive reservoir of faith as his own personal "Experience Pack."

With the twenty princes gone, Su Yu felt remarkably unburdened.

Previously, although Su Yu acted as the Source of Cause and Effect, he could not truly master this potent essence; it functioned like an autonomous instinct that he could only manipulate with great exertion.

Now, through the panel, Su Yu had formalized this essence into an Extraordinary Profession, turning a volatile force into a standardized, manageable skill.

While his core essence remained unchanged and his baseline power had not drastically increased after assuming the position, his new authority allowed him to instantaneously negate the twenty princes.

However, Su Yu felt a lingering intuition that the twenty princes had not been fully eradicated.

They appeared to be mutating, shifting into a state that no longer relied on causality for their existence.

Even if their Power of Mutation was anchored to Su Yu’s Source of Cause and Effect, they now somehow retained the ability to mutate independent of it.

Su Yu realized in that moment that those twenty princes surely possessed more than just the Infinite Mutation Power of the "Ultimate Savior."

They were also conduits for a fraction of "High-dimensional Destiny."

After all, monumental shifts—such as the rebellion, Su Yu being reduced to a mummy, and his persistent erosion—all required someone to carry out the whims of fate.

To fulfill these fated events, the twenty princes were granted sufficient power by the "High-dimensional Destiny" itself.

Without a source of power? Then destiny would simply bestow it upon them.

This was exactly why Su Yu had been eroded and relegated to a dusty throne for thousands of years.

High-dimensional Destiny is indeed both unfathomable and terrifyingly potent.

Under its influence, even without access to causality, the twenty princes remained in a state of suspended animation, capable of resurgence at any moment.

Until he could unravel the nature of this bizarre "High-dimensional Destiny," he remained tethered to the threat.

But Su Yu’s current awareness of this destiny was limited to a name and his grim personal experience; a definitive solution remained beyond his reach for now.

Fortunately, by leveraging the strength of the Source of Cause and Effect, he had successfully sealed the princes away.

They existed now on a dimension separate from his own, in a state that lacked any need for causality.

The two sides could neither perceive nor influence one another. For the time being, they would not jeopardize his plans.

Perhaps once he maximized the level of the Cause and Effect Singularity and secured his Core Specialization, he would find the means to settle this lingering danger once and for all.

While internalizing these shifts, Su Yu pondered his next moves.

All the while, golden light radiated from his frame, ascending into the firmament; it was his Emperor’s Golden Armor, reacting to the fluctuations of its master and stirring to life.

Just then, the rhythm of approaching footsteps resonated from the halls of the Imperial Palace.

With a mere thought, Su Yu identified the arrivals.

It was the prince who had served as regent for the past millennia, accompanied by his high ministers, coming to pay respects to the awakened Radiant Emperor.

Su Yu felt a sudden twinge in his temples.

Previously, the twenty princes had been obvious foes, simple enough to resolve with brute force.

This regent prince, however, was cunning and immensely gifted; he had governed the empire with a steady hand for ten thousand years, proving himself a true statesman.

Yet, theoretically, by stepping into the role of the Source of Cause and Effect, Su Yu had become his progenitor... the social dynamics were, to say the least, complicated. Was it best to acknowledge him, or simply remain silent?
