Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1218 - 670: Wisdom Existence
Previously on Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic...
Su Yu had now grasped that the profoundly abstract notion of "Existence" exhibits profound variations.
Within these, "Wisdom" emerges as a distinctive category of Existence.
Prayers from life forms in the Primordial Universe granted Su Yu's Existence with "Wisdom."
Any entity, idea, data, or energy that persists holds "Existence."
Clearly, Wisdom endures, thus possessing its own "Existence" as well.
Yet the Existence from the one hundred seventy-eight Cosmic Hunters Su Yu consumed earlier appeared devoid of Wisdom, explaining the diminishing experience gains over time.
"Wisdom" evidently serves as a vital essence of Existence.
To elevate his Existence Hunter to Full Level, Su Yu requires sufficient "Wisdom Existence," or he'll remain trapped at the threshold, unable to achieve completion.
Luckily, Su Yu's consciousness harbors a Primordial Universe teeming with myriad intelligent beings offering ceaseless prayers, supplying immense "Wisdom Existence." Full Level is merely a question of time, leaving Su Yu unhurried.
With all Cosmic Hunters eradicated and no further perils lurking in these Existence Ruins, impatience proves unnecessary.
Still, lingering questions troubled Su Yu's mind; these Cosmic Hunters stemmed from the devouring and Fusion by innumerable universe consciousnesses.
Across those myriad universes existed boundless intelligent life and splendid civilizations.
How could their Existence be stripped of "Wisdom"?
Though those lives and civilizations had perished into oblivion, traces of their Existence ought to linger, absorbed by the universe consciousnesses.
Why, then, was "Wisdom" absent?
Su Yu pondered briefly, then probed the Existence he had previously devoured.
The Cosmic Hunters originated from consciousnesses of countless universes.
Those consciousnesses encompassed diverse data from each universe.
This data resides in the deepest "Existence" form, now fully ingested by Su Yu, brimming with staggering volumes of information.
Previously, such an influx would have overwhelmed Su Yu to the point of rupture.
But as an "Existence Hunter" now, he sustains this data in its primal "Existence" state.
Boundless in scope, Su Yu contains it via minuscule conceptual frameworks.
For instance, the human term "Universe" encapsulates details of myriad galaxies, endless spacetime, and countless civilizations.
Yet this linguistic shorthand distorts reality, shedding vast information.
A single word like Universe fails to capture the true expanse.
Su Yu, however, succeeds.
Through "Existence," Su Yu employs more elemental and intricate methods to house infinite informational concepts.
To him, "Universe" embodies the genuine article, brimming with authentic boundless data.
Thus, despite consuming one hundred seventy-eight Cosmic Hunters forged from endless universes, their data manifests in Su Yu's mind as merely one hundred seventy-eight succinct "indexes."
This defines the core prowess of an Existence Hunter; without it, true "Existence Hunting" remains impossible.
Su Yu effortlessly condenses, retains, and accesses this data.
His awareness swept across the immense data troves, revealing mostly details on planetary orbits and stellar shifts.
Such data proves sparse in variety; crucially, it lacks "Wisdom."
Civilizational and vital data remains scant.
The fleeting visions of lives and civilizations Su Yu glimpsed earlier were mere husks, barren of vitality, awareness, or wisdom.
To Su Yu, this data resembled viewing an epic spectacle, offering little practical value.
No technologies, records, or cultural legacies from those civilizations appeared therein.
In theory, universes should chronicle every technological and cultural achievement of their civilizations.
Just as Su Yu now integrates the Primordial Universe into his consciousness, instantly accessing technical archives from its myriad civilizations.
Those technologies hold no current use for Su Yu, yet their embedded Wisdom fuels his experience growth.
However, the one hundred seventy-eight Cosmic Hunters yielded zero technical data.
Empires of cross-universe civilizations with advanced technologies vanished without trace, reduced to hollow visuals.
For Su Yu, it felt akin to a flashy "soft sci-fi" spectacle bursting with effects, yet barren of learnable tech—pure fantasy.
These Cosmic Hunters lacked true wisdom, possessing only "special effects."
After scrutinizing all data from these Cosmic Hunters, Su Yu confirmed the total absence of wisdom elements, deepening his bewilderment: "This doesn't add up, what's really happening..."
The "Wisdom Existence" from those universes couldn't have simply evaporated.
"Perhaps... it was harvested?"
A sudden insight struck Su Yu.
These Existence Ruins stretch infinitely; the one hundred seventy-eight Hunters represent but a fraction, with likely countless others lurking.
Might other Hunters exist as "picky feeders"?
Disdaining basic "Existence," they target and consume solely "Wisdom"-infused Existence.
"Highly plausible..."
With this realization, Su Yu surveyed the vast Existence Ruins ahead, a faint crisis stirring within.
Should his theory hold, deeper ruins conceal mightier Hunters feasting on "Wisdom Existence."
The one hundred seventy-eight Cosmic Hunters Su Yu felled were mere "leftovers" from their feasts.
Stripped clean of "Wisdom" Existence, those Hunters devolved into mindless brutes, ripe for Su Yu's conquest.
Those elusive predators, so selective in sustenance, must wield terrifying power.
Unburdened by scarcity, they indulge their refined tastes.
Su Yu, rich in wisdom and housing a Primordial Universe teeming with billions of wise lives, radiates alluring "Wisdom" Existence.
To those enigmas, he offers prime "delicacies."
Eventually, they may descend to claim Su Yu's "Wisdom."
Hunted by them spells not mere death, but reduction to a witless shell—equally dire for Su Yu.
