Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1213 - 665: The Ultimate Question, Essence of Life
Previously on Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic...
The profession freshly unlocked indeed connects to Su Yu's current surroundings.
It's precisely "Existence"!
Furthermore, exactly as before, no prerequisites apply, enabling instant job selection!
Prior to this, jobs below Third-Order allowed direct employment, while those above needed a ritual.
Yet following Su Yu’s second Profession Panel awakening, every unlocked job bypasses rituals entirely—one mere thought suffices for employment.
Despite the extraordinary potency of post-second-awakening professions.
Measured against the first awakening panel's Order System, even Sixth-Order, Seventh-Order, Eighth-Order, or Ninth-Order fail to gauge the power of Space-Time Transcender, Spirit God, or Cause and Effect Singularity.
Such professions wield influence over the entire Primordial Universe, yet acquiring them proves astonishingly straightforward.
Su Yu speculates it's due to post-second-awakening jobs skipping rituals altogether.
Alternatively, these might qualify as "basic professions," akin to the initial panel's Mechanic, Fighter, and similar fundamentals.
Su Yu prefers the former explanation, as future jobs without rituals would offer immense convenience.
The latter scenario remains possible, though.
Subsequent profession awakenings might demand rituals still.
Regardless, "Existence Hunter" awakens now without any ritual, sparing Su Yu considerable hassle.
In the present situation, locating a stable universe or space-time for rituals proves nearly impossible anyway.
As Su Yu pondered these matters, he wasted no time on the essentials, mentally commanding the employment of Existence Hunter!
[Congratulations to the host, employment successful: current profession: Existence Hunter (lv1: 0/10000000000).]
[Congratulations to the host, Core Ability awakened: Hunting Instinct. As Existence Hunter, you detect 'Existence' and launch hunts upon them.]
[Hunting Instinct: (lv1) All things stem from 'Existence'—be it matter, energy, information, data, spiritual energy, rules, space-time... Through hunting and absorbing 'Existence' from others, strengthen your own.]
Upon successful employment, the Profession Panel promptly displayed the alert.
Simultaneously, vast streams of data surged into Su Yu’s mind.
Odd transformations stirred within his consciousness.
Thoughts, memories, senses... all underwent profound reshaping.
His entire being emerged renewed, transformed.
"This is... existence..."
Su Yu sensed his life's core had utterly transformed.
Concurrently, enlightenment struck on a profound mystery long unsolved.
Namely... the true nature of life?
Su Yu had mulled this before, yet lacked definitive insight.
Consider his own evolution.
Initially, as a mere mortal, his core consisted of over sixty kilograms of organic compounds.
Billions of cells orchestrated life's functions and cognition.
Yet deeper lay the soul beneath that organic mass.
The soul equates to a spiritual energy framework sustaining thought, independent of flesh.
Still, back then, his primary consciousness relied on brain and body; death meant fleeting soul existence before dissipation.
Su Yu then viewed his essence as a self-aware "Su Yu" consciousness, with body and soul as replaceable vessels.
Next, achieving Transcendent status beyond Third-Order, he assumed Ghost Hidden Blade.
Physical form grew dispensable; spiritual energy bore his consciousness chiefly.
He could forsake the body, delving fully into Subspace like an Evil God.
Progressing further—Time-Space Mechanic, Source of Cause and Effect, second Profession Panel awakening, then Space-Time Transcender, Cause and Effect Singularity, Spirit God...
By now, Su Yu scarcely grasped his consciousness vessel.
Physical body? No longer conventional; merely a transient projection, discardable anytime.
Spiritual energy? Spiritual Ability Limit let him suppress it entirely, consciousness persisting regardless.
Cause and Effect? Space-Time?
Whatever the case, Su Yu sensed consciousness enduring sans Cause and Effect, Space-Time, spiritual energy, or matter.
But what enabled such persistence?
What served as the vessel truly?
Su Yu remained baffled previously.
Uncertain of the vessel, his core consciousness essence stayed elusive.
Even at peak power, absorbing Primordial Universe data for stability.
Primordial Universe now carriers Su Yu, yet he knows not his own carrier.
Yet with "Existence Hunter" employment, clarity dawns.
Consciousness requires no external vessel.
Its inherent "Existence" acts as the carrier.
Matter, spiritual energy, cause and effect, space-time—these are mere expressions, not fundamentals.
How does consciousness-governing "Existence" arise? Simply put.
Pre-transmigration, Su Yu recalled a maxim:
"I think, therefore I am!"
Thinking's activity generates "Existence."
This "Existence" in turn upholds life's cognition.
Life's cognitive essence forms a self-perpetuating "existence."
Such innate wisdom accompanies "Existence Hunter."
Grounded in this truth.
Su Yu’s mind endures thought post-removal of spiritual energy, matter, cause and effect, space-time, information, and externals.
Still, Su Yu perceives pure self-reliance strains.
Solely via "I think, therefore I am" to sustain cognitive "existence" proves arduous.
Cognition demands sufficient vigor to affirm this self-essence.
Common beings perish sans body or soul.
Even Su Yu struggles for eternal self-maintenance absent all supports.
Thus arises "Hunting Instinct" necessity!
Preying on "Existence" from fellow lives, other entities.
