Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1193 - 645: The "Recognizing Father" Ceremony

Right now, Prince Chu Mu had already transmitted a message seeking entry.

With just a single thought from Su Yu, the majestic door swung open.

Prince Chu Mu entered by himself; he had inquiries he preferred to keep private from others.

He halted a hundred meters away from Su Yu and gazed upward at the throne's figure, only to be dazzled by the radiant golden glow, preventing a clear view.

Bowing his head in deep respect, he declared, "Emperor, you have awakened..."

His voice carried a hint of excitement as he narrated the events of the last ten thousand years, the Empire's progress, and more...

After listening, Su Yu gave a faint nod. "Your efforts over these ten thousand years are truly praiseworthy!"

At those words, Prince Chu Mu's eyes unexpectedly welled up with tears.

With his profound sense of humanity, receiving praise from the Emperor he idolized filled him with immense joy.

After a brief pause, he drew a deep breath to steady himself and continued, "Emperor, there is a matter I must inquire about..."

He posed the question that had haunted him for ten thousand years: Was he genuinely the Emperor’s own son? Was he truly human?

Upon hearing it, Su Yu mused inwardly: Here it comes!

Su Yu prepared to respond mentally.

Yet right before he could voice it, a subtle tension gripped Su Yu’s heart.

He noticed that the primordial chaos inside Prince Chu Mu had apparently shifted somehow.

Faintly, shadowy and warped tentacles stretched out from behind him, burrowing into the ground, plunging into the Zhendan Mother Star, toward the depths of time and space, into the Subspace Deep Layer...

On the surface, Prince Chu Mu gazed at Su Yu with eager anticipation for his reply.

But through Su Yu’s eyes, a colossal being, dwarfing entire River Systems by hundreds or thousands of times, fixed him with myriad twisted eyes in icy detachment, awaiting his words.

This marked the chaotic origin of Prince Chu Mu, hungering for a response.

Was he human, or merely a monster disguised in human flesh?

Su Yu’s heart raced as he pondered in silence:

"The primordial chaos possesses a singular nature, probably with lie-detecting capabilities, so lying won’t work, yet revealing the truth is impossible..."

Su Yu’s mind whirled rapidly, and rather than reply, his form quivered, releasing an unusual aura.

This aura stood out as extraordinarily rare, manifesting solely during the universe’s birth and demise; it was... the primordial chaos!

In that fleeting instant, by scrutinizing Prince Chu Mu, Su Yu forged a causal link between himself and the primordial chaos, positioning himself as its origin.

This, in truth, held validity.

Su Yu had crafted the Creation Machine and reset the universe, birthing the primordial chaos through his actions.

Exploiting this causal bond, Su Yu infused a trace of primordial chaos aura into himself.

Thus, should anyone with Su Yu’s causal sight observe, faint shadowy tentacles would appear lurking behind him...

After posing his question, Prince Chu Mu waited anxiously for an answer, yet silence prevailed.

Perplexed, he detected an odd aura nonetheless.

On instinct, Prince Chu Mu lifted his gaze to behold a churning mass of distorted chaos, wildly contorted, with tentacle shapes writhing ceaselessly—a vision that stirred the soul.

Yet this haunting display evoked in Prince Chu Mu an intense familiarity, as if those sinister twisted tentacles formed his very roots, his bloodline.

Soon after, that dark chaotic mass abruptly scattered, condensing into a tangible shape.

That shape, enveloped in golden radiance, proved to be the revered Human Emperor!

"I see..."

Even without a single word from the Emperor, Prince Chu Mu sensed profound understanding.

He and the Emperor shared the same chaotic origin; he was truly the Emperor’s descendant!

With the millennia-old doubt finally dispelled, Prince Chu Mu let out a long breath, a wave of profound relief washing over him.

At that juncture, the primordial chaos within him began to fade subtly, fully solidifying into human form.

Simultaneously, Prince Chu Mu’s power surged unnoticed; evidently, affirming his human nature had stabilized his being, enabling greater command over his primal strength.

Seeing this unfold, Su Yu released a quiet breath of relief.

Fortune favored him; he had successfully bluffed his way through.

He had no desire for this deeply humane prince to abruptly transform into a horrifying, limitless Evil God.

Still, Su Yu viewed his maneuver as simple "bluffing," since he hadn’t outright claimed Chu Mu as his son.

Primarily, Su Yu couldn’t stomach saying it; Chu Mu excelled, faithfully governing the Empire for tens of thousands of years with outstanding results.

Confronted by such a figure, blurting "I’m your father" struck Su Yu as somewhat unethical...

Though had Su Yu spoken it, Prince Chu Mu would have rejoiced immensely.

Yet Su Yu refused; he upheld his principles.

Against foes, Su Yu would eagerly deploy such tactics to deceive.

But Chu Mu posed no threat, rendering it unnecessary.

Crucially, Prince Chu Mu’s core was primordial chaos, inherently unique.

Forcing a paternal causal tie upon him might alert Chu Mu to inconsistencies, prompting identity crises and rejection of his humanity—catastrophic consequences.

Considering Prince Chu Mu’s fundamental nature, any self-doubt could unleash mutations far deadlier than those of the twenty prior rebel princes.

None of the princes forged by the Radiant Emperor proved simple adversaries.

Thus, Su Yu merely wove his causality with the primordial chaos, radiating its essence, allowing Prince Chu Mu to infer his own truth.

After all, Su Yu spoke no words, told no lies.

Should suspicions arise later in Prince Chu Mu, Su Yu retained plausible deniability.

Through this method, he navigated the "acknowledgment of paternity" ordeal unscathed.

Yet bluffing remained mere bluffing.

With Prince Chu Mu’s essence as volatile chaos, lacking a firm declaration, inner turmoil would inevitably resurface in time.

His humanity and chaotic core guaranteed it.

By then, Su Yu couldn’t bluff anew; a definitive reply would demand extraction.

But Su Yu would have long since departed.

This vexing fatherhood dilemma belonged to the Radiant Emperor.

Sure enough, Su Yu rose from the throne, poised to depart and shed the Emperor’s mantle.

Over ten thousand years, he hadn’t genuinely reigned, merely a desiccated husk upon the seat.

This capable Regent Prince Chu Mu performed admirably, so let him persist. Su Yu planned a discreet exit.

Still, direct flight wasn’t viable; he required a means to summon the true Emperor’s return.

The Radiant Emperor lingered on Azure Star impersonating Su Yu, scheming who knew what. Now mobile, Su Yu aimed to confront and interrogate him directly!
