After the universe reboot, Su Yu and Radiant Emperor swapped identities, with Su Yu becoming the mummified emperor on the throne while Radiant Emperor assumed Su Yu's role. Radiant Emperor discovers Su Yu originates from the Infinite Universe, carrying its high-dimensional destiny that enables the swap, though he endures immense pressure from it. Su Yu contemplates his origins, the source of his Profession Panel, and the potential to return home by exploiting key destiny nodes like his crossing and awakening moments.

Upon having this thought, Su Yu promptly desired to swap identities back with the Radiant Emperor.

After that, he could personally investigate his own destiny to determine if a route back to the Infinite Universe existed.

Moreover, he was truly Su Yu, and since he had returned, why should the Radiant Emperor continue clinging to his identity?

The moment Su Yu showed up, the Radiant Emperor grasped his intent right away, his form hesitating briefly before transmitting another message to Su Yu.

This message came across as extremely concise, yet it clearly informed Su Yu that swapping was impossible at the moment.

The "high-dimensional destiny" linked to both of them possessed tremendous power.

A hasty swap at this point could trigger unforeseen consequences.

There existed a risk that exchanging identities would cause their high-dimensional destinies to blend together.

In that case, they might both become Su Yu and the Radiant Emperor simultaneously, either fusing into a single entity or battling fiercely until just one survived.

With minimal reflection, Su Yu acknowledged the validity of this risk.

To perform the swap, they needed to hold out until the next Universe destruction and reboot occurred.

In the past, the Radiant Emperor had assumed Su Yu’s identity following a Universe reboot.

"Looks like we must endure a bit longer..."

Su Yu mused inwardly.

As per the Radiant Emperor’s earlier explanation, the second Subspace tidal wave detonation marked the Universe’s destruction and reboot.

At that juncture, the Dark Emperor would ascend the throne and annihilate all existence.

Back when Su Yu resided in the Azure Star System, he constantly geared up to endure the Subspace tidal wave.

Even after departing the Primordial Universe later on, preparations for this Subspace tidal wave remained his focus.

However, he now understood that every one of those efforts proved futile.

No surprise, then, that neither destiny prophecies nor the Power of Time revealed anything beyond the Subspace tidal wave detonation back then.

The truth was, no future lay ahead at all.

The Subspace tidal wave itself held little weight; the true calamity was the Dark Emperor, with the Universe’s timeline concluding precisely at the second Subspace tidal wave blast.

That second Subspace tidal wave explosion loomed ever closer now.

A quick scan allowed Su Yu to detect fewer than ninety years remaining before the Subspace tidal wave erupted.

Earlier, during his time on Azure Star, Su Yu had neared the Subspace tidal wave outbreak.

Following the Universe reboot, they had arrived at this temporal juncture once more.

"This round, I’ll witness exactly what unfolds during the second Subspace tidal wave detonation."

In the past, while lying as a corpse within the Zhendan Imperial Palace, Su Yu had observed the first Subspace tidal wave, which failed to impress greatly.

Supreme Evil Gods such as Holy Evil Fate had already vanished by then.

The initial tidal wave proved far less devastating than anticipated, sparing the Human Empire major setbacks.

Yet this second wave heralded an apocalyptic disaster; Su Yu wondered how it might differ and felt eager to behold it.

Concerning the first Subspace tidal wave, the Radiant Emperor conveyed his thanks to Su Yu via the shared information.

This cycle saw the Human Empire evade heavy casualties; though the Empire waned, civilization progressed, and human quality of life held steady without drastic decline.

Such an outcome left the Radiant Emperor deeply content.

Across every Universe reboot, amid eras of massive rebellion and Subspace tides, humanity endured immeasurable casualties.

Survivors, if any, confronted a grim, brutal existence filled with perpetual dread and mortality.

Back in the Azure Star System days, the Dark Giant City forged by Qi Chen in the dream realm drew from harsh realities, far beyond mere fancy.

Countless Colonial Stars across the Human Empire mirrored that Dark Giant City’s desolation.

This bleak torment persisted for millennia until the Dark Emperor obliterated everything.

The Universe would reboot post-destruction, true.

Yet the shadowy fate repeated itself afterward.

Countless prior reboots had followed this pattern.

Regardless of the Radiant Emperor’s growing might or the Human Empire’s fortified development, nothing altered.

The mightier the Empire grew, the more catastrophically it crumbled, amplifying human agony.

This cycle haunted the Radiant Emperor as an unrelenting fixation; he yearned fiercely to shatter it.

After all, the colossal Empire he had forged through endless toil faced millennia of torment ahead.

Only after those thousands of years would the suffering conclude—not through relief, but total erasure.

How could he bear such a fate?

Thankfully, Su Yu’s unique nature had granted the Human Empire a full millennium of relative reprieve.

Even within that millennium, pain, demise, and terror lingered.

Still, it paled against the reboot loops the Radiant Emperor had weathered.

Thus, he offered Su Yu his sincere gratitude.

He even hinted at a future plan: once he mastered high-dimensional destiny fully, freeing himself from reboots and reincarnation’s grip.

Then, he would pass the Empire to Su Yu legitimately.

Not through identity or destiny exchange, but empowering Su Yu, under his true name, as the next Emperor to govern officially.

Su Yu rejected this proposal.

Overseeing such a vast Empire brought no joy; Prince Chu Mu handled it capably, so best to leave him in charge...

Not that Su Yu shirked duty; this Empire stemmed from the Radiant Emperor’s own creation, making it illogical to thrust upon Su Yu.

Rather than imperial rule, Su Yu fixated on the Dark Emperor’s method of Universe destruction.

Had the Radiant Emperor occupied the throne currently, this puzzle might matter little.

But Su Yu now embodied the Emperor.

He bore no Dark Emperor aura, merely the will of twenty traitorous Princes, now firmly quelled and sealed by him.

What events would transpire ninety years hence at the Subspace tidal wave’s peak?

Could those twenty Princes, influenced by high-dimensional destiny, seize Universe-shattering might?

Su Yu struggled to predict it, and likely even the Radiant Emperor drew blanks.

This scenario marked uncharted territory for him.

"A trifling ninety years will fly by; just bide the time."

Su Yu fell quiet, steeling himself for patient vigil.

Ninety years amounted to a mere instant for the current Su Yu.

He had once devoted a billion years to probing the Super Creation Machine, rendering these ninety years insignificant.

And so, Su Yu lingered motionless in the Universe void, silently awaiting the ninety years’ passage.

Over those ninety years, Su Yu accomplished almost nothing.

With Universe destruction looming in ninety years, current actions felt utterly pointless.

In that span, bolstered by Power of Faith from trillions across the Human Empire, Su Yu’s "Cause and Effect Singularity" profession surged forward, swiftly maxing out.

At last, after ninety-two years, Su Yu abruptly rose within the void.

The moment had arrived!
