Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1191 - 643: The Prince’s Dilemma

Upon becoming the Regent Prince, Chu Mu swiftly unleashed his innate talents to the fullest.

Under his rule, the once chaotic Imperial regained substantial peace in merely a few hundred years.

Imperial subjects, learning of his bloodline from the Radiant Emperor, all bowed in submission.

Though some Star Cluster Governors rejected this prince at times, Chu Mu led the army himself to crush the revolts; rebels surrendered wherever his forces advanced, quelling uprisings without a single casualty.

Another few centuries flew by, and Prince Chu Mu now focused on reviving the fading Imperial.

Though it hadn't returned to its pre-rebellion glory, conditions had improved vastly from earlier.

Prince Chu Mu governed diligently and cherished his people like family, yet the Subspace tide's outbreak awakened countless Subspace Evil Gods, who endlessly lured Imperial subjects.

One careless moment or stray thought could draw an Evil God's attention, corrupting victims in secret to serve as its puppets.

Rebellions ended, but Evil God heresies surged repeatedly.

Thus, Prince Chu Mu proclaimed the Mechanical Sect as the National Religion, championing materialism and supreme faith in technology while opposing Subspace corruption.

Their worshipped entities were twofold: the Star Tower, and the Emperor's supreme creation, the "No Mechanic God."

This was none other than the Evil God Nono.

Summoned by Su Yu, Nono arrived, seizing part of the Mechanical God’s Divine Power and gaining the purest God of Objects form, which repelled nearly all Subspace energy. As Su Yu’s handiwork, its base was solid, making it Prince Chu Mu's choice for the National Religion's deity.

Nono neither accepted nor refused; in its core, only Su Yu mattered—other humans' fates, be they just or wicked, meant nothing. After Su Yu mummified and ceased all contact, Nono stood frozen by the throne for ten thousand years.

Even as the National Religion's god, beseeched by billions, it offered no reply.

This silence was exactly Chu Mu's aim; he refused any god looming over humanity.

Grasping Nono’s true nature allowed him to boldly install it as the National Religion's deity.

Though unresponsive to prayers, Nono's God of Objects essence subtly empowered believers, granting them partial resistance to Subspace.

This approach eased Subspace corrosion to some degree.

Yet its impact remained constrained.

Followers of Nono's God of Objects struggled to awaken Spiritual Energy or pursue Extraordinary Professions.

Thus, Mechanical Sect faithful were mostly common folk.

True Empire Soldiers shunned the Mechanical Sect.

Subspace erosion, however, lurked everywhere; without a mighty entity's shield, these soldiers still fell to corruption, morphing into Evil God heretics.

What they revered instead was... the Emperor!

Openly, Prince Chu Mu set the Mechanical Sect as National Religion, but covertly hailed the Radiant Emperor as the God of Radiance and God of Mankind.

This let Empire Soldiers with Spiritual Energy pray to the Emperor for safeguarding.

He chose secrecy over open deification because the Emperor had long banned divine worship, with the Imperial rejecting gods.

Left with no alternative, Prince Chu Mu proceeded discreetly.

After all, Emperor faith trumped Evil God allegiance.

As expected, soldiers' prayers to the Emperor silenced Subspace whispers dramatically, slashing heretic numbers.

Under the Emperor’s guard, Empire Soldiers battled fearlessly, dominating stars and purging heresies.

In truth, Su Yu heard nothing then; the Twenty Princes intercepted every prayer.

Yet soldiers truly gained protection.

This shield came from the Twenty Princes themselves.

Having rebelled, the princes lacked benevolence.

They merely siphoned faith to bolster their own might.

This proved beneficial, as their safeguards worked well, and their wicked essence made them superior at countering Subspace Evil Gods—even beyond Su Yu.

Moreover, Emperor faith among soldiers rapidly infected the masses.

Subjects wary of the Mechanical Sect swiftly turned to the Emperor.

Tens of billions now revered the Emperor, funneling all Power of Faith to the Twenty Princes, who grew ever stronger as Su Yu deteriorated further.

Chu Mu couldn't foresee this twist.

His initial scheme aimed vast faith at reviving the mummified Radiant Emperor.

Then he'd step down as Regent Prince, harboring little thirst for power—ruling was a passion, not a power grab.

With faith flowing yet no recovery, Chu Mu sighed helplessly, compelled to keep steering the Imperial.

Mechanical National Religion and Emperor faith slashed Evil God heresies sharply.

Some potent heretic factions lingered stubbornly.

These stemmed from top Evil Gods forged in humans' darkest emotions—greed, gluttony, slaughter, and more.

Though newly born, their power terrified, commanding billions of fanatic followers.

These devotees were irredeemable; neither National Religion nor Emperor faith swayed them.

They held huge swaths of territory, plotting assaults on mother planet Zhendan.

Against these foes, Prince Chu Mu unleashed epic strategies.

Leading armies into Subspace depths, he invaded mighty Evil Gods' realms; after a millennium of fierce war, blending might and cunning, he subdued and sealed them.

The grandest heretic threats thus vanished.

Imperial dominion solidified completely, catapulting Prince Chu Mu’s renown; masses hailed him "Second Emperor" and "Regent Emperor."

He transcended mere Regent Prince, becoming simply the "Emperor!"

No soul challenged his Regent Prince throne again.

Save... himself!

Deep in Chu Mu’s soul brewed doubt: was he truly the Emperor’s heir, truly human?

He knew his roots as a lab creation.

Yet his human essence outshone others, dwarfing fellow princes.

Kind, empathetic, even sentimental at heart.

Yet firm, logical, bold, and resolute too.

Genius intellect paired with whimsy, even eccentricity.

No one embodied humanity like him—not even the Radiant Emperor’s human facade.

Rumors swirled he wasn't machine-made but the true flesh-and-blood son of the Radiant Emperor and his consort!
