Unlimited career change starting from mechanic.

Upon hearing Su Yu's answer, Emperor Guangyao seemed somewhat surprised, yet also felt it was somewhat natural.

He seemed to want to persuade him, after all, the path of the Primordial Emperor was the path of humankind's common transcendence, and he clearly wanted Su Yu to choose the Primordial Emperor.

But he hesitated for a moment and held back, because he knew that at Su Yu's level, his will was extremely firm. Once he made a decision, no words could shake it.

But he still spoke up: "Why?"

He wanted to know why.

Su Yu said, "The reason is very simple."

“If I follow the path of the First Emperor, I will be controlled by him, which I am unwilling to do. If I follow the path of the Dark Emperor, it is too extreme, which I am also unwilling to do. So I can only walk my own path.”

After careful consideration, Su Yu concluded that the path of the original emperor was not truly as wonderful as it seemed.

By transcending through esoteric narratives, the original emperor himself was indeed truly transcendent, but those who transcended along with him were probably only "pseudo-transcendent."

Essentially, the original emperor himself created a "hidden narrative layer" to contain all of humanity.

Any life within this hidden narrative layer is free from the control of higher narrative layers, thus achieving true freedom.

However, they are still subject to the control of the creator of this narrative layer, the Primal Emperor.

Although the original emperor may not have actually controlled the humans, he ultimately possessed that power, and the choice was his.

Therefore, it is a false transcendence.

If Su Yu chooses this path, then he will also be a pseudo-transcendence, and will be controlled by the original emperor.

Of course, within the hidden narrative layer, Su Yu can continue to transcend, walk his own path, and thus achieve true transcendence.

But that is on the premise that the original emperor would not stop him.

If a true transcendent being were to stop Su Yu, then no matter how powerful Su Yu becomes, he would probably be unable to complete the path to transcendence.

Therefore, Su Yu will not choose this path.

After all, he wasn't familiar with the original emperor; they had never even met.

Who knows if the Primordial Emperor will prevent Su Yu from continuing his transcendence after he transcends?

Although in the original Emperor's story he cared for humanity and was considered a good person, he also had a cruel and ruthless side.

Most importantly, the First Emperor was concerned with the race of "humanity" as a whole, rather than with any particular human being.

Killing one person could save ten thousand, and the Primordial Emperor did so without the slightest hesitation.

If Su Yu achieves true transcendence, he might threaten humanity. Perhaps the Primordial Emperor, after considering this, would simply abandon Su Yu and deny him even the chance for pseudo-transcendence.

Therefore, Su Yu would not make that choice.

He would never entrust his life and safety to a completely unfamiliar primordial emperor.

As for the Dark Emperor, it's much simpler. Destroying everything is transcendence, so it must be true transcendence.

As for whether Su Yu and the Dark Emperor will fight after transcending, or whether there is still a possibility of fighting after transcending, that is another matter.

Therefore, from the perspective of transcendence, the Dark Emperor's path is actually more superior.

But Su Yu doesn't follow the path of the Spirit Beast Clan, and naturally he won't follow the path of the Dark Emperor either.

After all, he wasn't that extreme.

Then you'll have to rely on yourself.

Anyway, Su Yu only wanted to transcend on his own and never thought about "hitching a ride". Although there were two "hitchhiking" opportunities in front of him, Su Yu ruthlessly gave them up, but he didn't feel any regret.

As for what to do with the Primordial Emperor and the rest of humanity? At worst, Su Yu can descend with his power after he transcends, helping the Primordial Emperor and humanity transcend as well. By then, Su Yu will have already achieved transcendence, and naturally, he won't have to worry about being betrayed by the Primordial Emperor.

This is called striking first to gain the upper hand, and striking later to be at the mercy of others.

After hearing Su Yu's words, Emperor Guangyao pondered for a moment and understood what Su Yu meant.

He sighed slightly, after all, Su Yu's decision to give up was tantamount to temporarily cutting off his path to transcendence.

Seeing this, Su Yu chuckled and said, "As the Radiant Emperor, have you never thought about transcending yourself?"

Su Yu was quite friendly towards this "fellow countryman" from the primordial universe.

Crossing countless dimensions and narrative layers, it's truly a joyful thing to actually meet fellow villagers and acquaintances.

The Radiant Emperor himself was extremely powerful, having once inherited the fate of a higher dimension and having entanglements with both the Primal Emperor and the Dark Emperor.

He also has the opportunity to forge his own path of transcendence.

But Emperor Guangyao shook his head upon hearing this: "Me? Never mind."

"I was so deeply influenced by the fate of higher dimensions that I was an emperor for hundreds of millions of years in endless reincarnation, and I almost forgot who I was originally."

"Right now, all I want is to be an ordinary human being."

"The path of the original emperor suits me quite well."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded: "That's fine too."

Su Yu had read the story of the Radiant Emperor. In the beginning, he was just an ordinary human boy on the mother planet Zhen Dan in the primordial universe.

At that time, the Chinese star system was in great chaos, with high-tech warlords and psionic cults fighting each other, and people were suffering terribly.

After awakening his psychic powers, the Radiant Emperor vowed to end the chaos and restore peace to his homeland. Thus, he grew stronger step by step, conquering all directions and finally unifying the Zhen Dan Galaxy.

At that time, he had already inherited the destiny of a higher dimension and was considered a projection of the Primordial Emperor and the Dark Emperor; he was no longer entirely himself.

Then came the Great Expedition, the establishment of a vast human empire, followed by rebellion, severe injuries... and so on until now.

Now, the fate of the High Dimension has shifted to Su Yu. The Radiant Emperor no longer has that innate mission and responsibility; he just wants to be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life.

In this way, the path of the original emperor naturally suited him.

Although with his strength, he's hardly an ordinary person...

"In that case, farewell..."

Su Yu was about to take his leave to continue his search for his own path to transcendence.

Now that he has seen two more paths, he has new ideas about his own path.

Emperor Guangyao did not try to stop him, but said only, "Since that's the case, then you must be careful."

Su Yu glanced at him, nodded, and his figure vanished instantly.

Su Yu understood the meaning behind Emperor Guangyao's words, "Be careful."

When he chooses neither path, it means that, theoretically, he is now an enemy of both the Primal Emperor and the Dark Emperor!
The two emperors naturally understood the principle that "to strike first is to gain the upper hand, and to strike later is to be at the mercy of others."

If Su Yu were to transcend first, and if Su Yu, after transcending, were to intentionally obstruct the two emperors, then the two emperors would never be able to transcend.

Not only that, the other two supreme races, the Ancient Machine Race and the Star God Race, will also likely regard Su Yu as an enemy.

Theoretically speaking, any being that attempts to transcend first is the common enemy of all those who transcend!

At this moment, Su Yu was surrounded by enemies! (End of Chapter)
