Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 791 - 399: The First Use of Power, "Deciding" the Future!
"It’s really not easy..."
Su Yu couldn’t help sighing in his heart.
The job of a Time Mechanic is truly too difficult.
Even calling it a life-and-death struggle wouldn’t be enough.
First, one must painstakingly research the time machine to travel back to the past.
This step requires a massive accumulation of knowledge. Without a stroke of luck, even if Su Yu researched it alone for ten lifetimes, he wouldn’t succeed.
Then, after traveling back to the past, countless historical timelines would split off, immediately leading to the death of the "present" self.
To save himself, Su Yu forcibly unified all the timelines, merging them into one.
After thousands of historical cycles, a desperate gamble with a suicidal experiment led to the creation of the current Su Yu.
A significant part of Su Yu’s eventual success relied on the uniqueness of the Profession Panel.
The Profession Panel possesses a singular trait in time and space, which also imparted a bit of this trait to Su Yu.
If not for that, Su Yu would have been stuck at the step of splitting history and would have been unable to unify the historical timelines, unable to merge into one, essentially leading to death.
It appears that mastering the Power of Time at the Fourth Rank is pretty much an impossible task.
Only because Su Yu has the Profession Panel did he barely succeed.
And the benefits after success are naturally immense!
Su Yu experimented a bit with this newfound power, and immediately the light and shadows before his eyes shifted, with the past and future both in his mind.
This Power of Time granted him a brand-new perspective, allowing him to view the past and future within a certain time frame at any moment.
Then, with just a thought, he could perform time travel again.
This is completely different from previously needing an Energy Tower and the resonance of planetary energy to achieve crossing.
This is Su Yu’s own Extraordinary Ability, not borrowing external power!
Much more convenient and much more flexible, it is a fundamental change in life.
However, this kind of power is limited; each travel consumes a lot, using a bit means having a bit less.
Moreover, using this Power of Time with his body will cause a temporal backlash; Su Yu only slightly used it to turn on the time perspective, not actually traveling through time and space again.
He hasn’t yet figured out the extent of this temporal backlash, so it’s not good to recklessly attempt.
Otherwise, having just come back to life, he might die again because of temporal backlash, and that would be too regrettable.
But even without using the Power of Time, just having the perspective to see the past and future at any time is strong enough.
Su Yu quickly composed himself and looked at the Galaxy Warriors beside him, as well as the residents of the Sanctuary.
He’d just spoken halfway, just saying "You all..." before getting interrupted by the prompt of the Profession Panel.
Su Yu’s thinking was extremely fast, and no one noticed his pause.
However, Su Yu didn’t finish that sentence, instead seeming deep in thought.
Because...
Through the perspective brought by the Power of Time, Su Yu could see that the figures of these people were somewhat illusory, not real.
It seemed that these people were mere phantoms, not real people.
Su Yu immediately understood what was going on.
"I am currently in the [Future]! Not in the [Present]!"
Su Yu thought to himself.
In his previous desperate attempt, he didn’t traverse to the [Present], but to the [Future].
And the future is indeterminate.
Before the [Present] time point arrives, everything in the [Future] is merely a phantom, not real.
That’s why in Su Yu’s perspective, the figures of these people appeared somewhat translucent, like phantoms.
Su Yu’s eyes were deep.
At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of the mysteries of time and space.
Whether it’s the [Past] or the [Future], there can be countless branches and countless possibilities.
These branches and possibilities are tangled together like a ball of thread, like a hundred strands messily converging into one.
And the [Present] is like a mighty hand forcing this tangled ball of thread into one, a singular one.
No matter how many possibilities there are in the [Past] or the [Future],
the [Present] can only have one.
The [Present] always moves forward, at this time point, countless histories merge into one, countless futures have only one that can come true.
And now, Su Yu, due to the time travel experiment, has arrived in the [Future].
The [Present] time point hasn’t reached here yet, so the [Future] that Su Yu is in isn’t real enough and remains illusory.
Su Yu looked down at himself.
He discovered that his own body was actually somewhat illusory too; he wasn’t real!
"There are still six months until the [Present]!"
Su Yu calculated to himself and quickly realized that he was six months away from the [Present].
Six months later, the [Present] time point will reach this position.
The [Future] where Su Yu is will become real then!
However, there are various possibilities for the future.
If by then, the real [Future] that becomes is not the one Su Yu is in now, then this whole time and space will collapse and disappear.
Even such a collapse and disappearance is inevitable.
The [Future] that Su Yu is in has already changed due to his crossing, with his abrupt appearance as an individual.
Under normal circumstances, there shouldn’t be any Su Yu here, so how could it become real?
So although Su Yu has successfully taken the role of Time Mechanic, self-rescue hasn’t truly succeeded.
If he stays here, he’s still waiting for death.
"Time travel, changing the past, determining the future..."
Su Yu, unflustered, recalled the three great abilities of the Time Mechanic in his heart.
Among them, the past and future are mentioned, but the [Present] isn’t mentioned.
Indeed, changing the past naturally leads to changing the present.
And determining the future...
Su Yu looked at the illusory figures in front of him, suddenly understanding.
