Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 762 - 384: The Secret of the 5th Rank, Su Yu’s Choice!_2

Su Yu couldn’t be bothered to deal with the subordinates of the Ghost Emperor; he was here today to have a showdown with the Ghost Emperor.

Those so-called "civil and military officials," though powerful, were insignificant in Su Yu’s eyes.

Upon hearing Su Yu’s arrogance, these people became even more furious. What made them angrier was that Su Yu was indeed justified in looking down upon them.

At this moment, the Ghost Emperor finally spoke: "Stand down!"

Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials quickly retracted their auras and retreated to the depths of the grand hall.

The Ghost Emperor continued, "Su Yu, what do you think of my palace?"

Su Yu wasn’t sure what he was getting at, so he honestly replied, "It’s quite nice."

The Ghost Emperor asked again, "And what about these subjects?"

Su Yu pondered for a moment and said, "They’re not bad either."

Su Yu had originally thought that the subjects of the Ghost Empire were just a bunch of madmen corroded by Ghost Energy.

But today, it seemed they were almost no different from ordinary people, possessing reason, wisdom, and emotion.

So Su Yu gave a decent evaluation.

The Ghost Emperor nodded: "Then, if I were to give all of this to you, would you accept it?"

At these words, Su Yu was taken aback.

Even those civil and military officials who had retreated to the hall’s depths showed faces of astonishment.

Their revered emperor actually wanted to give them to Su Yu? What was this about?

Su Yu didn’t follow up on this topic but instead asked in confusion, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

The Ghost Emperor’s behavior today seemed utterly baffling to Su Yu.

Su Yu had come for a battle today, but aside from some intimidation, the Ghost Emperor showed no intention of engaging.

Surprisingly, now he was proposing to give his palace and subordinates to Su Yu?

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor chuckled lightly and said, "Su Yu, do you know how to become a Fifth-Order Expert?"

Su Yu felt a shiver in his heart, remained silent for a moment, and then shook his head, saying, "I don’t know yet, but I have some guesses."

The Ghost Emperor gave Su Yu a deep look and said, "Not knowing for now means you’ll know in the future? You’re truly remarkable."

"Since you’ll find out sooner or later, I might as well tell you in advance."

Then he continued, "To become Fifth-Order is, in fact, very simple; it is to..."

"...completely control all the energy on a planet!"

"No matter the profession, the ritual is nearly the same."

"A Fifth-Order Expert is called Planet-Level because they are truly Planet-Level! Able to completely control a planet!"

The Ghost Emperor’s words were like an awakening shock, dispelling Su Yu’s various doubts about Fifth-Order Experts and making everything clear to Su Yu.

During these past two months, Su Yu had repeatedly calculated the secrets of the Fifth Order and had many exchanges with the Mechanical God.

The Mechanical God was originally at least a Sixth Rank expert, providing much inspiration to Su Yu.

However, its Sixth Rank was not based on the Spiritual System, so it held little reference for Su Yu.

Now, the Ghost Emperor’s words finally dispelled all of Su Yu’s confusions.

No wonder the Ghost Emperor went to such lengths to create the Radiation Land and generate such vast Ghost Energy Fog.

He was doing it in an attempt to control more energy and prepare for ascension to the Fifth Order!

If the Ghost Emperor could spread the Radiation Land to cover the entire planet, then he would truly become Fifth-Order.

Previously, the Ghost Emperor wanted to move his stronghold to the base of the Giant God Soldiers, probably for this reason.

That base is likely an important energy node on the planet, and establishing his stronghold there would greatly assist in controlling the planet’s energy.

Su Yu suddenly speculated about more secrets, namely...

"If two strong individuals on a planet both seek to ascend to Fifth-Order, what then?"

Su Yu raised a pivotal question.

Ascending to Fifth Order requires complete control over all the energy on a planet. If two people both seek to ascend, wouldn’t there be significant conflicts?

The Ghost Emperor looked at Su Yu with an appreciative glance, shaking his head, "In that case, only one can survive!"

Then he continued, "A planet can only give rise to one Fifth-Order Expert, after which all its resources will be depleted."

"These resources are not ordinary energy or minerals, but far more precious. There’s only enough for one, no more, and once consumed, they are forever unreplenishable. If they do regenerate, it would take eons."

"Zhang Chenfeng didn’t ascend to Fifth Order on this planet, so the resources here remain."

"Su Yu, both of us have the qualifications to compete for the Fifth Order. If you’re willing to withdraw from the competition, I’m willing to give you this palace and my subordinates. How about that?"

"Once I ascend to Fifth Order, defeat our formidable enemies, and break through the blockade, you may then head to the stars and search for a new planet for ascension."

The Ghost Emperor’s tone was gentle, a negotiating tone, even with a hint of pleading.

All the previous tests must have deeply confirmed to the Ghost Emperor that Su Yu truly had the qualifications to compete for the Fifth Order, capable of standing on equal footing with him.

Even Su Yu’s chances were greater! Because Su Yu had not long ago been Third-Order and had just recently broken through to Fourth-Order, yet he immediately qualified to stand equal with the Ghost Emperor, indicating a promising future!

Thus, the Ghost Emperor adopted such a low stance, and his tone was so gentle.

But Su Yu detected a profound chill in this.

This emperor was negotiating with Su Yu with such a low posture,

but this actually meant there was no room for negotiation at all.

Su Yu would either agree, or he would... die!

Su Yu chuckled twice and then said, "I’m sorry, but I, Su Yu, always prefer to rely on myself and never have the habit of depending on others."

"How about this: you give me this opportunity to ascend to Fifth-Order, and I’ll be the one to break through the blockade. Then, you can go to the stars and search for a planet to ascend."

Su Yu basically returned the Ghost Emperor’s words to him.

His choice was naturally to refuse.

The Ruins Star was sealed, and essentially, without ascending to Fifth-Order, there was no way out.

And to ascend to Fifth-Order, there was only one opportunity.

If he gave this chance to the Ghost Emperor, then in the ultimate showdown, Su Yu could only face the Brutal Evil God’s true form with only Fourth-Order power, alongside Zhang Chenfeng’s creations.

At that point, life or death would depend entirely on the Ghost Emperor’s skill, and Su Yu would be completely at the mercy of fate.

In fact, if the Ghost Emperor were a familiar friend of Su Yu’s, with life-and-death camaraderie and absolute trust, Su Yu might consider this proposal.

However, the Ghost Emperor’s reputation isn’t particularly good, and Su Yu suspected that if he ascended to Fifth Order, he would probably turn on him immediately.

Even the Brutal Evil God was played by the Ghost Emperor once, let alone Su Yu?

Handing one’s life and death over to such a person was not Su Yu’s style, and his refusal was only natural.

"Sigh..."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor sighed deeply, as if filled with regret.

Then, black energy began to surge from his body, an overwhelming, terrifying pressure.

Su Yu felt all the Ghost Energy within a thousand kilometers of the Radiation Land converging towards the Ghost Emperor, endlessly gathering!

Such a colossal amount of Ghost Energy converging onto one person was simply defying the heavens in terms of energy strength!

Su Yu’s heart grew incredibly heavy; it seemed that negotiations with the Ghost Emperor had failed, and he was ready for a hard fight!

Surprisingly, the Ghost Emperor didn’t intend to change locations and was prepared for a big battle right here in the Ghost Palace! Not afraid of damaging it.

For the Ghost Emperor, neither the palace nor his subordinates held as much importance as ascending to Fifth Order.

Fighting here would allow him to leverage some geographic advantages, so he wouldn’t leave.

And if the Ghost Emperor didn’t mind, Su Yu naturally wouldn’t care either, so let the battle commence!

"That’s more like it..."

The terrifying pressure also rose from Su Yu, gathering a force strong enough to move mountains and fill seas.

He was truly excited; ever since ascending to Fourth-Order, he finally had an opponent he could battle to his heart’s content!

Both were unparalleled experts, gathering their power in just a millionth of a second, and then...

Boom!

The Ghost Emperor burst with Ghost Energy all over, suddenly making a move, but strangely, he didn’t aim at Su Yu; rather, he targeted the empty space before him!
