Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1190 - 642: Chu Mu’s Past

This twenty-seventh prince goes by the name of "Chu Mu".

After the massive rebellion, the empire’s elite discovered him adrift in the vast universe—a forgotten prince.

How could someone of such exalted royal blood end up lost? It ties back to his very origins.

The offspring of the Radiant Emperor were all engineered in labs; in truth, they’re synthetic entities.

No soul knows the exact count of princes produced across the ages or the number of such facilities.

Countless labs remain ultra-classified, with scant few privy to their details.

At their core, these princes are fearsome Subspace entities masquerading in human form.

For instance, the infamous Prince of Brutal and the twenty rebels who sparked the great uprising were precisely that.

These experiments carry immense peril; a single loss of control could obliterate entire River Systems without a second thought.

Hence, the labs are tucked far from human Colonial Stars, in forsaken cosmic voids.

Moreover, the empire’s Technology Nobles employed advanced tech to conceal these sites, erase all traces of data, and seal off any knowledge.

Even the engineers who constructed them faced memory wipes to prevent any leaks.

The Subspace nature within these princes is so horrifying that simply knowing of them or holding memories could unleash catastrophe.

These labs had minimal contact with the outer world and stayed ignorant of broader events.

Should an experiment go awry, the facility would trigger self-destruction, claiming the staff and the prince alike.

With such ironclad secrecy, over time, only the Radiant Emperor held awareness of these labs.

The lab housing Prince Chu Mu mirrored this isolation.

Cultivated and birthed two millennia prior to the great rebellion, he endured countless tweaks within the facility.

Though his power hit River System Level just a century after emergence, no external command permitted his departure.

Despite his ability to shatter free, he remained dutifully confined for almost two thousand years.

What was dubbed a lab actually spanned the vastness of dozens of Constant Star Systems inside.

Thanks to the empire’s space-folding tech, this immense domain lurked within a mere speck of dust, wandering the cosmic abyss.

Across centuries of tedium, Prince Chu Mu relentlessly enlarged this lab’s expanse, pushing it close to River System scale.

The technicians’ lineage flourished and evolved inside this colossal River System-sized domain.

In over two thousand years, their progeny swelled to trillions, all loyally under Prince Chu Mu’s dominion, thriving in perfect harmony.

Endowed with profound intellect and might, Prince Chu Mu steered this lab civilization to robust growth, matching the outer empire’s quality of life.

He reveled in ruling this human society, finding deep personal fulfillment.

His leadership propelled the lab civilization ahead of the external empire in select tech domains.

After all, the empire’s sheer immensity entangled it in endless pursuits.

This lab realm functioned like a sovereign micro-nation, honing in on niche fields and outstripping the Human Empire there.

Naturally, it lagged in other arenas against the grand Human Empire.

That held true right up to the great rebellion’s outbreak.

As the rebellion raged alongside the Subspace Tide, the empire suffered devastating setbacks.

Though Su Yu’s Source of Cause and Effect banished ancient Subspace horrors like Saintly Sin, Evil Fate, and Desire Corpse,

fresh Subspace spawn fueled by human vices—greed, gluttony, envy—still wreaked havoc on a massive scale.

River System-scale Subspace gates yawned wide, spewing infinite Subspace Demons.

Consequently, the empire plunged into decay, shedding technologies, losing billions of lives, and watching citizens’ lives crumble.

This downturn formed part of "High-dimensional Destiny," which Su Yu’s comeback softened but couldn’t fully avert—still a brutal ordeal.

By then, Su Yu lay as a withered husk, powerless to act, forcing the empire to confront the calamity alone.

In this chaos, Prince Chu Mu’s lab emerged as a beacon, boasting superior tech and prosperity beyond the ravaged exterior.

Subspace Demons that dared assault fell swiftly to his dominance.

Amid these events, Zhang Long and the empire’s leaders pinpointed Chu Mu’s lab in the universe’s depths via Star Tower probes.

Initially, the twenty princes’ treachery had shattered faith in all royals among the elite.

Yet witnessing Chu Mu’s lab civilization flourish unbroken through the Subspace Tide gave them pause.

After a century of covert surveillance, they affirmed Prince Chu Mu’s uniqueness—no other prince matched his deep humanity, fierce devotion to mankind, and pride in his human roots.

At last, the upper echelons resolved to retrieve Prince Chu Mu, restoring the Radiant Emperor’s lineage to Zhendan Mother Star to lead the realm.

Zhang Long and his peers chose this path for three key motives.

Firstly, Chu Mu wields unmatched might, eclipsing even these elites—a vital force against looming threats.

Secondly, as the emperor’s direct heir, Chu Mu lends true legitimacy; the current rulers, though capable, lack that royal seal. Citizens crave the emperor’s line, and whispers of coup d’état plague Zhang Long’s group, risking fresh revolts if unaddressed.

Thirdly, Prince Chu Mu’s proven mastery in governance fills a desperate void. Overseeing a realm spanning billions of light-years demands handling tidal waves of data—overwhelming in peacetime, impossible now. Baffled by how the prior Radiant Emperor coped, they pinned hopes on Chu Mu’s imperial blood and talents to salvage the empire.

Weighing all this, Prince Chu Mu was ushered back to Zhendan Mother Star, endured another century under watch, and then formally enthroned as Regent Prince...
