Unlimited career change starting from mechanic.

The Spirit Beast Clan no longer exists.

In this universe, the remaining powerful forces include the Human Empire, the Ancient Machines, and the Star Gods.

These three powerful races had never appeared in Su Yu's previous battles with the Spirit Beast Clan.

But Su Yu didn't think they were all cowards.

If they were so easily intimidated, they would have been swallowed up by the Spirit Beast Clan long ago.

Previously, when the Narrative Book of the Spirit Beast Clan expanded to a range of hundreds of billions of light-years, it stopped. It wasn't that it couldn't expand any further, but rather that if it continued to expand, it would invade the territories of the other major races.

Even the semi-transcendent spirit beast race dares not provoke the remaining major races, which shows their power.

These major races are definitely observing and gathering intelligence.

After all, the fact that the Spirit Beast Race can initiate the transcendence process is something that might only happen once every billion years. It is rare for such an event to occur, so we must collect the data carefully and not waste it.

Even Su Yu firmly memorized the various performance data of the spirit beast race during its transcendence process deep in his consciousness, using it as experience and reference.

If he wants to transcend, he must have his own path to transcend.

The path of the spirit beast race seems feasible, but Su Yu does not agree with it. What is the point of abandoning wisdom and self, even if one transcends?
Although one can transcend logic and retain wisdom and self after transcending it, that is only in theory, and Su Yu is unwilling to gamble on that possibility.

Su Yu stood quietly in the void of the universe, with a vast cosmic void spanning billions of light-years beside him, after the disappearance of the spirit beast race.

Within this vast area, there was no matter, light, or celestial bodies, only Su Yu.

In this environment, Su Yu felt an unprecedented loneliness, as if he were the only life, the only consciousness, in the entire universe.

It seems that life and the universe, everything, are meaningless; only transcendence is real.

With a slight thought, Su Yu ignored the feeling and remained unaffected.

He understood that this emotion did not truly originate from himself, nor was it that he had suddenly become sentimental; rather, it was a residual effect of the Spirit Beast Clan's failed attempt to transcend.

It's not that the Spirit Beast Clan didn't all die out, but rather that before disappearing, the Spirit Beast Clan carved their path to transcendence in this void, like their "last will and testament."

Any life that comes here will be affected by this place. If one's will is not firm enough and one's strength is not strong enough, one will be affected by this place and embark on the same path of transcendence as the spirit beast race.

This "suicide note" has no narrative power whatsoever; Su Yu could erase it with a mere thought.

But after thinking about it, Su Yu decided not to do so. Although the Spirit Beast Clan was an enemy, their exploration of the path to transcendence was still worthy of Su Yu's respect. This will was best left here.

Su Yu stood beside this "suicide note," quietly contemplating his own path to transcendence.

His narrative book is now at its maximum level, and within a hundred million, it can destroy and create universes.

Now, with a little time, he can restore the powerful force in the lower narrative layer.

Therefore, he doesn't need to rush to recover his strength; he should first figure out his next steps.

If you want to explore your own path to transcendence, you must first understand one question: Why do you want to transcend?

"I think, therefore I am..."

Su Yu muttered to himself.

This short sentence was what Su Yu realized when he first truly left the original universe and came to the "existential ruins" after the destruction of the infinite universe.

Within the existential ruins, there is virtually no normal spacetime or matter; everything exists in its most primordial state of "existence."

In this state, maintaining one's existence is simple: "thinking"—I think, therefore I am. At that time, Su Yu believed that existence was the most fundamental power of all things, and that "I think, therefore I am" was the ultimate truth.

But when Su Yu came into contact with the narrative layer, and even crossed the narrative layer to come to this universe, he understood.

"I think, therefore I am" is not some ultimate truth.

The narrative layer is above and controls everything. Your thoughts may not come from your own heart, but are written and controlled by certain entities in the upper narrative layer. Even the consciousness itself may just be an illusion, a written program.

"How can someone like this be considered to 'I think, therefore I am'? If even your thoughts aren't your own, are you sure you really 'exist'?"

Su Yu kept asking himself these questions in his mind.

At the same time, he was also reading through his own narrative book.

His narrative book returned to normal after the disappearance of the spirit beast race, and the stories recorded in it are very detailed and logically sound.

Su Yu didn't read other people's stories, he only read his own.

From the moment he arrived here until now, the narrative book has recorded everything in detail.

The level of detail in this record is astonishing, because... even the slightest mental activity was recorded.

If reality were a story, it would naturally include "psychological descriptions".

Thus, all of Su Yu's mental activities were recorded in this narrative book. Even the slightest thought that Su Yu had unintentionally flashed through his mind was recorded without any omission.

Therefore, Su Yu became increasingly alarmed as he looked at it.

If a narrative book can record psychological activities in such detail, are these psychological activities truly from his own heart, or were they written by some unknown entity?

There is no answer to this question; it could even be described as a form of paranoia.

After all, Su Yu's nature is unique, making it extremely difficult to write about him.

Su Yu's narrative book records his detailed psychological activities because it is his own narrative book, which is equivalent to his own "autobiography" or "notes", so it is naturally detailed.

Other narrative books do not possess this ability.

In theory, Su Yu doesn't need to worry about his thoughts being written down.

However, Su Yu had previously witnessed the narrative pollution of the Spirit Beast Clan. Although the Spirit Beast Clan did not directly write Su Yu's thoughts, they still changed him indirectly.

It almost changed his mindset, turning him into a mindless spirit beast.

The instruction manual states that although it is difficult for Su Yu, it is achievable.

If it were some powerful being at a higher narrative level, could they accomplish this and directly portray Su Yushu as an idiot?
In fact, Su Yu wouldn't normally worry about this issue.

But now, Su Yu is contemplating the path to transcendence, and this is a question that requires deep thought.

The so-called "not getting caught up in things" is simply a lack of ability to get caught up in things.

After all, there are very few beings who are qualified and capable of contemplating the path to transcendence.

And now Su Yu has the qualifications.

"I think, therefore I am, but my thoughts may be manipulated by the narrative layer."

"Therefore, I want to transcend!" (End of Chapter)
