Unlimited career change starting from mechanic.

Even the human emperor Su Yu didn't believe it, so naturally he wouldn't believe the Ancient Machine Race either; his refusal was perfectly reasonable.

After being refused, Su Yu became vigilant, ready to fight at any moment!

Su Yu is, after all, human. He rejected the path of becoming a human emperor and was still able to get away with it unscathed.

Now that they've rejected the Ancient Machine Clan, it won't be so easy for them to escape; they'll probably have to go through a major battle.

The variable power wielded by the Ancient Machine Clan is powerful and unpredictable. Su Yu is unsure how it will manifest in battle, but he is not afraid at all. He will take this opportunity to see what this so-called variable power is.

However, the reaction of the Ancient Machine Clan was beyond Su Yu's expectations.

Su Yu quickly found a sentence in his narrative book: "Since that's the case, you may leave."

"Ok?"

Su Yu sensed something was wrong.

According to Su Yu's understanding, the Ancient Machine Race is not known for its good temper; they are extremely rational and extremely ruthless.

Now that Su Yu has presented them with such a transcendent opportunity, are they just going to give it up like this?
Is there some kind of conspiracy?
Su Yu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

Even though the other party told him to leave, he refused to go and insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

The ancient mechanical race said, "We have already transcended, and we do not want to make any more enemies."

"We still have the opportunity to transcend even without you, so let you go."

Su Yu's heart stirred slightly, and he asked again, "What if I transcend first and then descend with my power to stop you?"

The Ancient Machine God said, "It doesn't matter. Our path is to find variables that can break free from all control. If you can interfere with us after you transcend, it means that our variables are still insufficient."

Su Yu nodded; that made sense.

The ancient mechanical race continued, "Unless you follow the same path of transcendence as us and compete with us for variables, there will be no conflict between us."

"Similarly, we have no conflicts with the Spirit Beast Clan, the Star God Clan, or the Human Empire."

"That's how we each started out, searching for our own path to transcendence."

“We fight each other, but there is no hatred between us anymore. It’s just a ‘performance’. Anyway, as long as we transcend it, all the previous deaths and losses will be made up for.”

Su Yu understood. This ancient mechanical god was surprisingly friendly and had no hostility towards Su Yu at all.

Similarly, they are not hostile to their various races.

They fight each other, but they are not actually enemies; they are "colleagues" on the same stage.

They each have their own paths to avoid "collisions" and prevent them from taking the same route, which could lead to real conflict.

After all, nobody knows if going down the same path will lead to a life-or-death situation, so it's better to avoid it.

That still makes a lot of sense.

Su Yu previously thought he was surrounded by enemies, but it seems he was overthinking it. Everyone was just focused on their own detachment and had no hostility whatsoever.

It is not afraid that after the enemy transcends, it will descend with power to prevent other beings from transcending.

That sounds like it makes sense.

However... once you transcend, you become irrational.

Are they being too confident in using normal reasoning and logic to measure detachment?
Su Yu thought for a moment and then asked, "Is this really what you mean by this?"

As soon as Su Yu asked this question, the entire Ancient Machine Clan's headquarters seemed to tremble. Those metal tomb-like planets shook and made rumbling noises.

It seems that Su Yu's question just now caused a great shock to them.

After a moment, the ancient machine race replied, "We don't know..." "No! Our previous thoughts were not from our own hearts, but were manipulated by some being."

"Su Yu, you are indeed special, protected by the True Story!"

The Ancient Machine Clan's meaning was clear: their previous reluctance to be enemies with Su Yu wasn't out of genuine indifference, but rather because they were manipulated! Manipulated by the narrative!
The narrative is truly protecting Su Yu!
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu felt an overwhelming hostility.

The ancient mechanical race was awakened by Su Yu's words.

But they are ruthless and will not feel any gratitude. Instead, they want to fight immediately and seize Su Yu, the last variable.

Su Yu seemed to be creating trouble for himself, making a formidable enemy out of thin air.

But Su Yu remained unmoved and continued, "How can you be sure that what's affecting you is the true narrative?"

The ancient mechanical god paused for a moment: "You mean..."

Su Yu said, "Is it possible that before you, there were already some beings who had transcended and whose influence on you was Him?"

This time, the ancient mechanical race was even more shaken; they seemed to have never considered this possibility.

Was there already a being that transcended this state before them? And now, which being is influencing them?

"impossible……"

"No, it's entirely possible. If one transcends, one can completely erase all traces, making it impossible for us to detect..."

"Then what is the purpose of this transcendent being? Is it to prevent us from transcending?"

Su Yu saw that a large amount of text had appeared on his narrative book. The ancient mechanical race seemed to be too excited and had lost its previous calm.

They were originally full of confidence, believing that even without Su Yu, they could transcend, and even if Su Yu transcended ahead of time, they would not be afraid.

But now it seems that such ideas are being manipulated by those who have transcended worldly concerns.

If it weren't for Su Yu, the biggest variable, reminding them, they would still be in the dark.

How could they not be excited and terrified?
Seeing this, Su Yu shook his head, and with a flick of his wrist, he vanished.

The Ancient Machine Clan did not stop him. Su Yu was no longer their greatest enemy; their true enemy was the unknown Transcendent One.

Without addressing the interference from the transcendents, their victory over Su Yu would be meaningless.

After Su Yu left, his next stop was the Star God Clan's headquarters.

That is the center of the universe, the most primordial and ancient part of the universe.

The planets there have all died out, turning into all-consuming black holes, and some of them have even evaporated.

Su Yu did not see any Star God Clan members there.

The Star Gods are a technologically advanced race, said to be the embodiment of the universe's rules. Their bodies, thoughts, and creations are all products of extremely advanced technology.

The Star Gods are quite similar to the material gods in the primordial universe, but they are much more powerful.

When they fought against the human empire, they deployed extremely advanced unmanned technological weapons, which caused huge casualties to humanity every time.

They themselves remained unharmed, and no one had ever seen a living Star God, only their technological weapons.

But now, Su Yu has arrived at the Star God Clan's headquarters and discovered that the Star God Clan seems to have never existed at all.

The previous human empires were merely fighting against the creations they left behind.

"Could that unknown transcendent being be the Star God?"

Su Yu suddenly had an idea. (End of Chapter)
