Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1214 - 666: The Meaning of the Hunter

The concept of "Existence" isn't rigid or unchanging; those lacking it can plunder it from other entities and persist!

Much like how everyday beasts prey on fellow creatures, feasting on their meat to fuel their bodies' functions by breaking it down into essential sustenance.

"Existence" represents the supreme "flesh," the primal "nutrition."

This phenomenon is known as "Existence Hunting!"

In a standard space-time Universe, such predation proves unnecessary.

Lifeforms can sustain their consciousness's being through ambient matter and energy.

Typical beings remain blind to "existence," the deepest foundational force.

Yet the Infinite Universe—once overflowing with endless matter, energy, and boundless "existence"—has inexplicably met its doom.

All matter, energy, space-time... obliterated, surviving only as faint "residual images."

The Infinite Universe's collective "existence" has nearly vanished entirely.

From the "Hunting Instinct" wisdom imparted to Su Yu, this quivering realm of unstable "residual images" qualifies as "Existence Ruins."

Within these ruins, genuine existence is exceedingly rare; total destruction reigns.

Every "residual image" Su Yu observed arose from fading life consciousnesses desperately clinging on, manifesting "I think, therefore I am."

Though the Infinite Universe lies in ruins, enduring lives strive to rebuild it via "I think, therefore I am."

In theory, the cognitive processes of life consciousness spawn "existence"; gather sufficient amounts, and the Infinite Universe could revive fully.

Su Yu's familiar Subspace and Spiritual Energy were, at their core, "existence" derived from life's thoughts and emotions.

Clearly, this approach has fallen short.

Devoid of external matter, energy, and space-time support, life's awareness falters in upholding "I think, therefore I am."

Relying on it to resurrect the Infinite Universe appears utterly futile.

Hence, merely illusory "residual images" form, lacking any true substance.

Apart from upholding "I think, therefore I am," life can plunder "existence" from others to preserve its consciousness.

Normal life has ceased to be in this wasteland.

Only "Existence Hunters" resembling Su Yu linger!

That explains their fixation on Su Yu.

Su Yu's "existence" radiates potency, "overflowing with nourishment!"

Realizing this, Su Yu invoked the hunting instinct to briefly assess his "existence," affirming its robust vigor.

Indeed, he had absorbed the Primordial Universe's complete data, allowing the entire cosmos to function inside Su Yu's mind.

Innumerable beings venerate Su Yu, the colossal force devouring universes, channeling Power of Faith his way.

This Power of Faith essentially morphs "I think, therefore I am" into another form.

Evolving into [I think, therefore "you" are].

Faithful followers harness their mental essence to generate "existence," propping up others' being.

Via devout supplications, these believers birth an "existence" termed "faith."

Such "faith" existence doesn't bolster the believers themselves but channels wholly to their deity.

With persistent believers, the God endures undying, its "existence" forever mighty.

Embodying [I think, therefore you are].

Thus, even as Su Yu's strength eclipses the Primordial Universe, faith's power continues sustaining him.

For Power of Faith constitutes a bedrock force,

permitting even powerless ordinary humans to supply faith to Su Yu, fortifying him.

Su Yu commands a full Universe teeming with billions of lives, making his "existence" extraordinarily formidable.

The Primordial Universe's overall "existence" packs immense power.

If the ruined Infinite Universe embodies sheer "Existence Ruins,"

the Primordial Universe stands as a vital "surviving oasis" amid the devastation.

By some miracle, the Primordial Universe's "existence" escaped total annihilation, retaining authentic matter, energy, information, space-time, and further "existence."

Tiny as a dust mote beside the Infinite Universe's scale,

this mote preserves a fragment of the Infinite Universe's precious "existence."

Hence, while residing there before, Su Yu never doubted the Primordial Universe's tangibility.

Yet following the Profession Panel's second awakening, suspicions arose in Su Yu.

The power escalation proved staggeringly immense.

Surging from Constant Star Level to Cosmic Level—a billionfold amplification—with minimal effort from Su Yu.

Such a leap would strike anyone as profoundly illusory.

At first, Su Yu chalked it up to the Profession Panel's arcane second awakening,

but true comprehension dawns only now for Su Yu.

Truthfully, the vast Primordial Universe harbors merely a sliver of authentic "existence."

The bulk consists of deceptive "residual images."

Su Yu's jump from Constant Star Level to Cosmic Level spanned scant real ground.

Though dominated by "residual images," the Primordial Universe's countless lives remain utterly real.

Fueled by this real matter and energy, alongside abundant life consciousness "I think, therefore I am," it upholds seamless operation.

Still, such "normality" remains precarious.

Worse, "Existence Hunters" from the Infinite Universe prey upon the Primordial Universe, relentlessly draining its "existence."

Consequently, the Primordial Universe's conditions turn ever more brutal, shadowy, and contorted.

This encroaching darkness goads all cosmic life's thoughts, birthing additional "existence"...

Culminating in Infinite Universe "Existence Hunters" offering the entire cosmos's matter and energy to engulf it utterly.

Yet in the final instant, Su Yu snatched and consumed the Primordial Universe's vital "information."

The majority of its "existence" now dwells within Su Yu.

A supreme "treasure," akin to a desert oasis's vital spring, an island in endless ocean, radiance amid perpetual void...

Su Yu, as this "Existence Hunter," needs hunt no more; his sole "existence" overflows.

Absent active hunting, experience accrues nonstop from the Primordial Universe's myriad lives' invocations.

Yet Su Yu's Hunter role isn't devoid of purpose.

Its purpose manifests as...

Su Yu directs his vision toward the outer void.

Under "hunting instincts," those bizarre, avaricious stares expose their primal shapes!

Fellow hunters, every one, locked onto Su Yu.

Amid these savage stares, a subtle smile blooms within Su Yu's core.

A hunter's grand purpose: to clash against rival hunters!
