Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1200 - 652: The Way to Return
Previously on Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic...
Following the reboot, Radiant Emperor and Su Yu swapped their identities,
This round, Su Yu stepped into Radiant Emperor's shoes, morphing into a mummy perched on the throne across ten thousand years.
Meanwhile, Radiant Emperor finally veered off his predetermined fate for the first time!
An event beyond belief, utterly without precedent!
Radiant Emperor thus grasped that Su Yu represents the crucial breakthrough from this impasse!
Precisely for this reason, Radiant Emperor took on Su Yu's persona.
In reality, he delved deep into Su Yu's fate, hunting for a path to shatter the deadlock hidden within.
What Radiant Emperor uncovered through his analysis was...
Su Yu proved to be no native lifeform of this universe, nor even human at core.
Su Yu stands as a being descended from... the Infinite Universe.
He bears the strength and fate originating from the Infinite Universe!
The fate bound to Su Yu is "High-dimensional Destiny" as well, much like Radiant Emperor's betrayal and the Human Empire's downfall—utterly immutable and inescapable.
Owing to both wielding "High-dimensional Destiny," they manage to exchange roles and identities.
Yet, as Radiant Emperor enacted Su Yu's destined path,
tremendous strain bore down on him, from the Infinite Universe's crushing dominance.
Contrary to Su Yu's effortless portrayal of Radiant Emperor, moving with ease,
Radiant Emperor, in Su Yu's role, senses that even the tiniest slip could unleash a ferocious backlash.
That's why he toils with utmost care, never relaxing, even slipping messages to Su Yu in fleeting silences, packing data into those gaps instead of outright conversation.
Solely to dodge the backlash.
Though Radiant Emperor remains clueless about the backlash's exact form, he's loath to chance it.
Stemming from the Infinite Universe's might, such a force can't be trifled with.
...
Having absorbed this intel, Su Yu plunged into extended reflection.
The details Radiant Emperor passed along this time stunned him profoundly, demanding moments to fully absorb.
Only now did Su Yu comprehend his roots in the "Infinite Universe," laden with its vast power and destiny.
"Is the world I inhabited before transmigrating what they call the Infinite Universe?"
Su Yu pondered inwardly.
Prior to transmigrating, he'd faced no supernatural phenomena or powers.
That realm appeared far less grand than Radiant Emperor's earlier depictions.
Likely, Su Yu's viewpoint back then was too narrow, his capabilities too feeble.
Conceivably, in distant reaches of that Universe, cataclysmic supernatural forces raged unseen.
"Through some force, I dropped from the Infinite Universe into this Primordial Universe. The Profession Panel appears tied to the Infinite Universe's power—possibly an expression of my 'High-dimensional Destiny.'"
"Destiny replayed before the reboot, rebooting my Profession Panel anew and stirring it awake..."
Su Yu mused to himself.
The long-standing riddle tormenting him at last found resolution.
That puzzle centered on the Profession Panel's origins.
This enigmatic interface had propelled him from mere mortal to the reboot's brink, yet its boundaries stayed elusive.
Su Yu had once theorized it as Radiant Emperor's handiwork, but close scrutiny disproved that.
Now, he perceived the Profession Panel as boundless by nature, at minimum within this Universe.
As a creation of the Infinite Universe, it brimmed with endless potential.
Similarly, Su Yu hailed from the Infinite Universe, granting him myriad anomalies.
The prior "over-limit" quality detected in Su Yu fit this mold, free from the caps binding typical lifeforms and societies.
All within this Primordial Universe bears ceilings, except Su Yu, since he's no indigenous entity.
"Should I uncover a path back to the Infinite Universe, could I... return home?"
The notion abruptly welled up in Su Yu's thoughts.
"Home" felt remote and alien to Su Yu nowadays.
His nature leaned toward acceptance; post-transmigration, upon realizing short-term return impossible, he'd set it aside.
As strength grew and he roamed the Universe, still no traces of his old world surfaced, so pre-transmigration memories dimmed.
Yet now, it resurfaced vividly, sparked by newfound hope of reversal.
Against this warped, shadowy Universe, his former serene world surely outshone it.
Naturally, any return demanded retaining his powers.
Reverting to mortal frailty for a brief lifespan then perishing held no appeal.
Whether Primordial Universe powers function in the Infinite Universe remains unknown.
On the method of return... Su Yu already glimpsed a clue.
It lay in Radiant Emperor's current actions.
By embodying Su Yu, Radiant Emperor probes the Infinite Universe's essence.
Su Yu's abilities and fate from the Infinite Universe hinge on two pivotal moments.
First, the precise instant of his transmigration.
Second, the moment the Profession Panel activated.
Radiant Emperor's prior message highlighted these nodes' oddities without full detail.
Still, Su Yu could infer their significance.
These instants marked the Infinite Universe's power influx!
At those junctures, the Infinite Universe linked directly to the Primordial Universe!
Such temporal points recur; each reboot recreates them!
Thus, Su Yu's fate embeds two "channels" to the Infinite Universe!
Harnessing these channels offers a shot at returning to the Infinite Universe!
Radiant Emperor's impersonation of Su Yu aims to exploit these two nodes.
Plus, uncover additional ones.
Truthfully, Radiant Emperor could detect similar nodes in his own fate if inclined.
Like when he ventured beyond the Universe, importing contamination into the Primordial Universe.
Evidently, that too linked to the Infinite Universe.
But it bore nightmarish pollution.
Using that node for transit to the Infinite Universe spells near-certain doom; success might still collide with pollution's origin, outcomes horrifying beyond words.
Solely Su Yu's fate seems untainted, forming a pristine, secure conduit!
"Yet Radiant Emperor's probes haven't borne major fruit, failing to breach the Infinite Universe."
"What if I retrace my prior fate myself—might the results differ?"
