Chapter 408 Recovery
Spiritual power generally has two directions of development.

The first one is telekinesis, which Su Yu is very good at.

As a mechanic, when manufacturing machinery, he often does not need any tools such as furnaces. He can directly use his mental power to decompose and recast various materials. The machinery is manufactured with just a thought, which is very convenient.

The second development direction is the purely spiritual field, such as hypnosis, illusion, mind reading, etc., which is similar to the data field, but also different.

After all, there are some differences between data and spirit.

The Ghost Emperor specializes in the second type, specializing in mental hypnosis, manipulation, illusion, etc.

This kind of spiritual power only affects the spirit and has little impact on real matter.

Previously, when Su Yu was attacked by the power of the star soul, it only made him commit suicide in despair. Apart from that, Su Yu did not suffer any other injuries at all, not even a hair was lost.

This kind of power has very great limitations.

But what would happen if this power reached its limit?
This can refer to the capabilities in the data field.

Su Yu is very good at data materialization. He can not only materialize matter, but also space, turning invisible data into real matter that can be seen and touched.

When mental abilities become extremely powerful, they can actually be used in a similar way.

That is... modifying [reality]!
Use your own will to determine reality! No longer a false illusion or hypnosis!

This is not data embodiment.

The essence of data embodiment is still false and requires energy to maintain.

When the spirit modifies reality, it is completely true. After the modification, it can be maintained forever without any falsehood.

This ability is extremely powerful and extremely incredible, so the starting point is level five!
And the Ghost Emperor, after using the power of three star souls, actually strengthened his spiritual power to such an extent.

Although it is unknown how long it can last, at least at this moment, the Ghost Emperor possesses the powerful ability to modify reality with his mind!
So, the Ghost Emperor only had a thought, and Su Yu disappeared! Su Yu died!

"I am dead?"

It only took Su Yu a moment to realize the fact that he was dead!

Theoretically, his consciousness should have completely vanished.

Because the Ghost Emperor's modification of reality was too powerful, Su Yu's body, mind, and even the subspace realm were annihilated together, causing him to disappear completely.

With the strength of a fourth-level warrior, even if he died, his spirit could still survive for a period of time, and could even be revived many years later.

But if one dies under the Ghost Emperor's modified reality, both the body and the spirit will disappear. How can there be any will left? It must be a death that cannot die again!
But Su Yu still has the willpower to survive!
Because he is a time mechanic and has mastered the power of time.

Su Yu's consciousness actually does not rely on the body and mind to exist, but is entrenched on the timeline.

Long before he became a time mechanic, Su Yu was able to cycle his consciousness through twenty years of history.

His will forms a line segment on the timeline and is not limited to a certain point in time.

If Su Yu died at a certain point in time, at most his [line segment] would be shortened, but he would not really die.

The same thing happened at this time. Su Yu's body and spirit were all annihilated by the Ghost Emperor, cutting off his time [segment].

Su Yu's line segment no longer extends forward and has no future.

Su Yu has no future, but he still has a past.

Just like Su Yu in the dark time and space, because of an experiment, he killed himself, and both his body and spirit disappeared.

But he can still cycle through history a thousand times and eventually return successfully.

But now that Su Yu has become a time mechanic, he doesn't have to go through so much trouble.

As long as he has a thought, he can consume the power of time, return to the past, and thus change history. For example, if he does not come to the Mechanical City, he will naturally not die.

Or travel to the future, [determine] the future, and thus create a new future out of thin air and be resurrected.

For Su Yu, resurrection is very easy. It only consumes some time power. He can also let the time energy towers do it for him, and the backlash is also within his tolerable range.

In other words, he was not dead at all, he just bled a little and all he had to do was stop the bleeding.

But Su Yu did not do that for the time being, but was thinking.

Because now he doesn’t know how he died. Why did he die?
If he rashly resurrects without knowing it clearly, he will just die again. And if he is not careful enough, he might alert the enemy and let the Ghost Emperor know his abilities!

Up to now, the Ghost Emperor didn't know that Su Yu had mastered the power of time.

Because Su Yu had always been very careful, he only traveled through time once when facing the Ghost Emperor, and traveled back to two minutes ago.

Moreover, after that time travel, Su Yu had been carefully acting out history without revealing any flaws.

Although Su Yu released thirty energy towers in deserted places after traveling through time, it was nothing as long as no one saw it.

If seen by others, it would be equivalent to changing the history of other people, causing the other party to split into two historical timelines and merge into one in the [present].

For ordinary people or even third-level transcendents, it is not a big deal to be unable to discover the splitting and fusion of historical timelines. It may even have some benefits. The fusion of two different timelines will increase strength.

But for a strong man like the Ghost Emperor, if Su Yu directly changed history in front of him, the Ghost Emperor would definitely discover the difference in history and thus discover Su Yu's ability.

If the Ghost Emperor discovered Su Yu's abilities, it would be troublesome.

This guy must have studied the power of time and might be able to make some targeted arrangements.

Or maybe the Ghost Emperor thought Su Yu’s ability was too powerful, so he ran away directly, remaining invisible so that Su Yu wouldn’t discover his whereabouts.

If the Ghost Emperor remains in hiding, even if Su Yu's power of time is strong, it will be useless if he cannot find him.

At that time, the Ghost Emperor was in the dark and Su Yu was in the light, so sooner or later they would be ambushed.

Even though Su Yu could be resurrected even if he died after being ambushed, it was still troublesome.

Maybe even if too many people died, the Ghost Emperor would find a way to kill Su Yu completely.

In fact, Su Yu has other choices, which is to travel back to the more distant past, to a year ago, when he last met the Ghost Emperor face to face.

The Ghost Emperor was not hiding at that time, so Su Yu could just start fighting.

But the problem is, even if Su Yu traveled back in time, if he doesn’t understand the Ghost Emperor’s abilities, he still won’t be able to defeat him and will still be killed.

If it is impossible to kill the Ghost Emperor in history, it will not change history much. At most, the Ghost Emperor will split into a new historical timeline and merge in the [present].

It may even make you stronger.

Unless Su Yu wanted to travel back ten thousand years to when the Ghost Emperor was still weak and kill him at that time, the cost would be too great and Su Yu could not afford it.

Even if he traveled back to two years ago, when the Ghost Emperor had not yet revived, it would not work either. The main reason was that Su Yu didn't know where the Ghost Emperor was hiding at that time and couldn't find him. This guy's stealth ability was too strong.

Su Yu has another choice, which is to travel back infinitely to one year ago, change the history of the Ghost Emperor, and let the Ghost Emperor constantly split into countless histories that cannot be integrated in the [present], thereby killing him.

But the Ghost Emperor is powerful and has many means at his disposal. Who knows if he will be able to resist this historical division?

If the historical split fails to kill the Ghost Emperor, it will alert the Ghost Emperor and let him know Su Yu's abilities in advance.

After all, all changes in history will be reflected in the [present].

Therefore, if Su Yu wants to kill the Ghost Emperor, it would be better to do it in the [now] or [future].

"The key is to find out how I died and what the Ghost Emperor is capable of..."

Such thoughts were running through Su Yu’s mind.

Intelligence! For Su Yu now, intelligence is the most important!

However, no matter how Su Yu recalled, the moment the Ghost Emperor killed him, there was no summons. There was no fluctuation, he really died as soon as he said he would.

There was no way, Su Yu moved his mind and his will returned to the past history.

More than two minutes ago, Su Yu just noticed something unusual in the Mechanical City and was about to go back to take a look.

Then Su Yu's will returned to this moment.

This is the second time I have returned to this time point.

"try again."

Su Yu thought to himself.

Anyway, he has many opportunities. If he dies once and gets no information, he will die again.

Next, Su Yu "acted" diligently according to the original history. He first returned to the vicinity of the Mechanical City, and then withstood seven attacks of the Star Soul Power.

And the Ghost Emperor naturally followed the development of history and used the power of three star souls on himself to strengthen his mental power to the fifth level, gaining the ability to modify reality.

More than two minutes later, the moment before Su Yu's death finally arrived again.

"coming!"

Su Yu held his breath and concentrated his mental strength to the limit. He had to see clearly how he died.

A moment later, Su Yu died again.

"Dead again...still no clue."

Su Yu was not depressed.

Back to two minutes ago again.

The last time he died, he returned to two minutes ago by using his own body's power of time.

This second death, however, set the time for those energy towers in advance, and activated them at this time point on time, allowing Su Yu to travel through with the help of mechanical power to avoid using his own time power too much.

Then, Su Yu started the cycle again, dying for the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...

In just two minutes, Su Yu quickly repeated the process more than ten times and conducted an extremely detailed observation and analysis of his own death process.

So many times of observation were enough for him to realize that something was wrong.

After more than ten deaths, Su Yu observed carefully and finally discovered the secret of the Ghost Emperor's power.

He found his death very special.

His body disappeared out of thin air, without any process at all.

Whether it is spiritual energy, spirit, or the molecules and cells that make up the body, they all disappear at the same time in an instant.

Moreover, Su Yu's body was not directly broken into elementary particles by some powerful energy, but actually disappeared.

It never seems to happen.

After Su Yu disappeared, it stands to reason that his original location would become a vacuum because there was no air or matter.

The air will then automatically fill in, creating a small air explosion.

And then it didn’t.

After Su Yu disappeared, there was no air filling the original position, but normal air was directly present.

It seemed that there was no Su Yu at that location, but just ordinary air.

"interesting."

"This looks almost identical to my revision history."

Su Yu can actually do this, which is to modify the other party's history, causing the other party to split into countless timelines, which will eventually be unable to merge and will disappear directly in the [present].

This directly changes reality, so there will be situations where matter disappears out of thin air and its original place is filled with air.

Even Su Yu himself died once because of this during a previous experiment, and the situation was very similar to the current one.

It is normal for Su Yu to be able to do such a thing since he has the power of time, but it is a bit strange that the Ghost Emperor can also do it. What is the principle?
"My power of time can make people disappear. In essence, it is to modify history to determine the present."

"Could this Ghost Emperor directly change the present?"

"Could it be that when the mental ability becomes strong enough, it has the ability to modify reality and determine the present?"

"No wonder he could kill me instantly..."

How powerful is Su Yu’s computing and analytical abilities?
Just with these few clues, he was able to analyze the truth!

The ability of the Ghost Emperor is to decide the present! It is to modify reality!
The more Su Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

He has the power of time and is also a materialization mechanic.

The power of time modifies reality, that is its job.

The materialization of data by the materialization mechanic is actually somewhat similar to modifying reality, but it is not as strong and is just fake.

But Su Yu wondered, if the ability to materialize data became strong enough, would it no longer be false but real?

It doesn’t seem surprising that the spiritual realm, which is very similar to the data realm, can modify reality if it is powerful enough.

"Fortunately, I didn't try to use history to attack the Ghost Emperor before."

After guessing the Ghost Emperor's abilities, Su Yu was glad that he had been cautious.

Even if Su Yu changed the history of the Ghost Emperor, causing it to split into countless histories that could not be integrated, and disappeared out of thin air at the [present] time point, he would be completely dead.

But the Ghost Emperor also has the ability to modify reality and determine the [present].

He can directly and forcibly modify reality and change the fact that he disappears!

The Ghost Emperor does have the ability to resist historical attacks!
If Su Yu attacks the Ghost Emperor through history, not only will he fail to kill him, but he will also expose his own information to him.

Fortunately, none of this happened.

"This guy is really amazing. He can be so strong."

Su Yu was full of admiration in his heart. How did the Ghost Emperor do it?
How to deal with the Ghost Emperor who possesses such powerful strength?

"No matter what, the power of the Ghost Emperor probably has its limitations. It can't last long, or there's a limit to how many times it can be used..."

"Then it's easy to deal with him... go to the future!"

Su Yu moved his mind and traveled through time again.

This time, it’s not going back to the past, but heading towards the future!

At this moment [now], when Su Yu was looping for these two minutes, he had already moved forward one millionth of a second.

The future that Su Yu was heading to was two millionths of a second later.

Two millionths of a second after Su Yu's "death", Su Yu's body appeared out of thin air.

In this future, the Ghost Emperor had just modified reality to kill Su Yu, and was about to laugh heartily, but suddenly his smile froze.

How come Su Yu is alive again?
