Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1227 - 679: Ascending All the Way
Previously on Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic...
From the mere two-room 'mine shaft' below, Su Yu had 'ascended' into this vast space stretching hundreds of kilometers wide.
Yet evidently, this isn't a true super-quality civilization—it's merely a grander mine shaft at most.
True super-quality civilization lies even higher 'above'.
Still, within this expansive 'mine shaft', every creature takes on human shapes, unlike the grotesque forms of those earlier four miners.
Su Yu felt a twinge of doubt.
Could the pinnacle of the authentic super-quality civilization above... perhaps be... remnants of humanity?
Yet... do humans even exist in the Infinite Universe?
Su Yu sank into contemplation involuntarily.
Ever since the Primordial Universe's demise, upon reaching this Existence Ruins via a Space-Time Transcender's powers, Su Yu hadn't encountered any humans.
Not just living ones—no lingering visions or phantoms of humans appeared anywhere in the Infinite Universe.
This comes as no shock, given humans originated from the Primordial Universe; their scarcity in other universes is entirely expected.
Then Su Yu thought of himself—he's human too, hailing from outside the Primordial Universe.
Thus, humans clearly persist beyond the Primordial Universe!
Beyond that, the Radiant Emperor of the Human Empire's pursuit of 'High-dimensional Destiny' suggested humans dwell in higher dimensions.
Now, beholding these fabricated 'pseudo-humans', Su Yu couldn't shake the suspicion that surviving humans might have founded this super-quality civilization.
With that in mind, Su Yu attempted to breach the smart systems of this 'pseudo-human' domain for deeper intel.
Soon after, Su Yu's mind shifted into data streams, penetrating every intelligent core in the area and harvesting vast amounts of information.
Yet he uncovered nothing he sought.
This pseudo-human society, much like the four miners before, relentlessly employs Super Quality Extraction Instruments to harvest super-quality, surrendering it upward.
Regarding the upper level's nature, they remain ignorant; they only recognize the title 'Super-quality Council', though none have witnessed it.
One fact alone they grasp: the layer above wields total dominance over them, mirroring their own supremacy over the strata below.
Through Super Quality Extraction Instruments, they exploit the lower universe entirely as a quarry.
Higher existences, naturally, regard them as mere quarries in turn.
Cosmic hierarchy's oppression dwarfs any societal divide, tech disparity, or Extraordinary Power Su Yu has faced—it's utterly horrifying.
Hence, these pseudo-humans toil ceaselessly, never once slacking.
Though their actions and words mimic humans nearly perfectly.
Su Yu inwardly persists in labeling them pseudo-humans.
For their human guise is superficial; at core, they're alien beings reshaped by the Super Quality Converter, devoid of true human biology, their thought processes vastly alien to humanity's.
Su Yu refuses to deem them human.
Even as he termed them pseudo-humans, Su Yu quietly pondered his own state.
At least these pseudo-humans retain human forms, whereas Su Yu—to preserve energy and super-quality—exists solely as consciousness, bereft of any body.
By that logic, he appears less human still.
Su Yu dismissed such concerns effortlessly; a brief reflection solidified one truth.
If he claims human identity, human he is.
Truthfully, at Su Yu's immense power and status, quibbling over humanity feels rather pointless.
Still, Su Yu senses it holds real weight.
For one, forsaking human identity might twist him into a hideous Evil God.
Crucially, the Profession Panel ties to Su Yu as human.
Should Su Yu 'stop being human', the Profession Panel might reject him.
This Profession Panel operates flawlessly even in the Infinite Universe, unlocking potent professions nonstop—vital to Su Yu, whom he refuses to forfeit...
Su Yu lingered in the domain long enough to witness the pseudo-humans delivering their super-quality.
He embedded his consciousness into those super-quality crystals, aiming to ascend alongside them.
In the interim, Su Yu mastered the 'Super-quality' profession's abilities further, seamlessly merging into the crystal mass for the journey.
Otherwise, persistent use of the Transcendence Domain might alert the superiors.
As it's obvious that ascending layers boast ever-more sophisticated tech, potentially spotting Su Yu in the Transcendence Domain.
The fresh 'Super-quality' profession draws from super-quality civilization tech, enabling concealment inside crystals for stealthier passage.
In this manner, Su Yu rode a batch of super-quality crystals across millions of dimensional tiers into fresh space-time.
'Indeed, humans after all... or pseudo-humans, more precisely...'
Su Yu now entered a planetary-scale realm housing billions of 'humans'.
Naturally, pseudo-humans all, though these feature faint internal physiological frameworks.
Evidently, production tech has advanced markedly.
Observing billions of these pseudo-humans bolstered Su Yu's belief that authentic humans form the super-quality civilization's heart.
This realization weighed heavily on Su Yu's mind.
Should remnant humans have built this 'super-quality civilization', does ravaging countless survivor realms—including possible human ones—for super-quality hold justification?
How to reckon with that ledger?
Su Yu pondered briefly, suppressing his murderous urge, opting to watch more.
Truth remains hidden; conclusions come prematurely.
Beyond ordinary folk among these billions of pseudo-humans stand Transcendents too.
Such Transcendents shun Spiritual Energy, instead channeling 'super-quality' for diverse powers.
Super-quality, as primal essence, morphs into any worldly element.
Whatever Spiritual Energy achieves, super-quality surpasses with superior outcomes.
Transcendents' presence kept Su Yu from rash moves.
Though Su Yu wields super-quality too, manifesting myriad abilities.
This space-time's dimensional height empowers even average pseudo-human Transcendents immensely with super-quality.
Luckily, Su Yu's vast experience renders his skills comprehensive.
He skulks unseen, subtly hacking the pseudo-human planet's central AI for data.
Concurrently, he siphons super-quality quietly to bolster his strengths.
Then awaits the 'delivery' day to climb higher.
Thus Su Yu kept rising, traversing layer upon layer of space-times.
Above the pseudo-human planet lies the pseudo-human star system.
Higher still, the pseudo-human river system.
Then the pseudo-human star domain.
Ever upward... at last, Su Yu reached a full universe!
'This must be the true home of the super-quality civilization, no?'
