Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1196 - 648: The Origin of Everything

The Radiant Emperor learned that the vanished warships had unintentionally slipped into the actual Infinite Universe.

In that realm, the vessels faced a horrifying corrosion.

Hazards lurking in the real Infinite Universe far surpass anything in the Primordial Universe.

Even crew members at River System Level strength proved completely helpless against the corrosion assaulting them.

Upon their return, the warships brought back a contamination brimming with fearsome might.

Not the Radiant Emperor, but certain high-level Empire officials first answered the distress call and approached the incoming ships and personnel.

All of them were mighty Transcendents of immense power.

These formidable beings boarded the returning warships, only to perish in eerie fashion one after another.

Prior to their deaths, they suffered intense mental derangement, descending into savage mutual carnage.

With just one survivor remaining, he stacked the mangled bodies into an altar before savagely ending his own life as the last offering.

All the while, the warship's returning crew observed the horror impassively. Once the slaughter ceased and the meat altar stood complete, they prostrated themselves before it, chanting in alien languages to some mysterious presence...

Afterward, the warship plunged back into quietude.

A while later, it broadcast yet another distress beacon, drawing the Empire's attention once more.

After enduring such heavy casualties, the Empire naturally refused to dispatch more souls to certain doom.

Yet, following careful scrutiny and analysis, the Radiant Emperor boldly decided to journey outside the Universe himself.

Empire officers were shocked and opposed to the Radiant Emperor risking himself so, yet powerless against his determination.

Before long, the Radiant Emperor finished performing the necessary rites and preparations.

For someone as mighty as the Radiant Emperor, departing the Universe posed extreme difficulties.

Direct departure would strip away vast quantities of energy and data from the Primordial Universe, triggering ferocious rejection.

However, the Radiant Emperor, who had multiple times rebooted the Primordial Universe to rewrite the "High-dimensional Destiny," possessed the means to manage it.

Through intricate rituals, he created a virtual duplicate of himself to occupy the throne in his absence.

This illusory Radiant Emperor looked identical to the original and wielded equivalent power, though its energy and data were simulated and destined to fade away gradually.

Aided by this phantom counterpart, the Radiant Emperor tricked the Primordial Universe's primal instincts and at last stepped beyond its confines.

He then boarded the returning warship, facing the flesh altar head-on.

At that instant, he felt the appalling corrosion.

In a mere flash, the Radiant Emperor nearly lost his sanity, tempted to drag the Empire's trillions of citizens to sacrifice before the altar and invoke a supreme force.

Yet the Radiant Emperor endured the relentless corrosion steadfastly, probing and studying it meticulously.

He purposefully sank into partial insanity to grasp the nature of that "great power."

Harnessing the corrosive force, the Radiant Emperor shattered the causal veil amid his semi-mad haze, glimpsing the authentic vista of the Infinite Universe.

It defied all description in words.

Endless splendor, boundless malice, limitless joy, unceasing dread...

Even a sliver of it captivated the Radiant Emperor completely.

He yearned to plunge entirely into that vast realm, merging with it forever.

But in the pivotal instant, the Radiant Emperor jolted awake through sheer willpower.

Regaining his senses, he discovered he had massacred every last survivor aboard in that brief span, heaping their remains onto the altar.

At the same time, he was heading back to the Primordial Universe, clearly set on hauling the whole Human Empire for a gruesome offering.

Luckily, the Radiant Emperor fully recovered in the end.

Shaken to his core, he opted not to reenter the Primordial Universe via the original path; instead, he chose suicide, using the virtual self left behind to resurrect and renew himself.

This move aimed to purge any residual taint via his demise.

Despite forfeiting substantial energy and information, it worked flawlessly; reentering the Primordial Universe, the Radiant Emperor detected no trace of contamination or madness.

Shortly after, however, he noticed anomalies.

The whole Primordial Universe seemed to twist in bizarre ways.

The former Primordial Universe possessed a measurable span of time and space, remaining finite.

Its boundedness verged on the infinite, beyond reckoning in billions of light years or any finite measure.

Still, with his overwhelming might, the Radiant Emperor could probe the Universe's edges.

But post-event, the Radiant Emperor could no longer detect those limits!

The Universe as a whole was shifting, morphing into the genuine Infinite Universe!

Only then did the Radiant Emperor comprehend: the pollution hadn't been purged from him—it aimed higher, at the entire Primordial Universe!

The full Primordial Universe stood corroded and tainted!

As a result, the Primordial Universe attained authentic "infinity," its core forever transformed.

Following this, diverse Infinite Traits began to manifest.

Boundless Energy, endless space-time, infinite light...

True enough, Infinite Traits emerged right then.

In little time, the Radiant Emperor unlocked many Infinite Traits.

Once a supreme Transcendent, these new Infinite Traits amplified his power tremendously; before, he could dominate the Universe entirely, making humanity the only advanced civilization there.

But at that very moment, colossal entities stirred in the Subspace depths: the Saintly Sin, Evil Fate, Desire Corpse...

These horrors surfaced now, transcending time itself, their might originating from the Universe's genesis.

Far mightier and more dreadful than the Radiant Emperor, they pierced through eras, corrupting myriad civilizations and extinguishing countless lives across ages.

Now, their gaze fixed upon the Human Empire!

To combat these nightmarish foes, the Radiant Emperor delved once more into the Infinite Universe's corrosion.

Thus, the "Prince" plan came into being...

Su Yu felt profound shock as he absorbed this revelation.

Now he understood: the Primordial Universe's "true infinity," the Supreme Evil God's awakening, and the "Princes"' emergence all stemmed from the Radiant Emperor's foray beyond the Universe.

That incident ignited it all!
