Chapter 1174 - 626: Source of All Evil
Chapter 1174: Chapter 626: Source of All Evil
However, just as Su Yu was about to take action, footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the Imperial Palace hall.
The warrior clad in Dark Gold Battle Armor from before then walked in, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said, "Emperor! A towering structure has suddenly appeared in the Star System, bearing your presence. Could it be your new creation?"
The sudden appearance of such a high tower in the Zhendan Star System immediately raised alarms within the core of the Empire.
However, they soon discovered a familiar essence of Spiritual Energy upon the tower and thus laid their concerns to rest.
Following this discovery, this Golden Armor Strongman was sent to seek Su Yu’s instructions.
At this point, Su Yu already knew the identity of this person, who turned out to be the supreme commander of the "Radiant Imperial Guard," named Zhang Long.
Counting the lineage, he was probably the ancestor of Zhang Chenfeng.
His strength far exceeded the River System Level, but the exact combat prowess remained unspecified, relying heavily on his state of mind, which was quite subjective.
In his normal state, he maintained a tenfold River System Level strength.
If caught in intense emotions such as anger, excitement, or hatred, his strength would surge explosively.
This person possessed an Infinite Trait known as "Light", Infinite Light!
The entire Radiant Imperial Guard was nurtured using his genetic blueprint as a model.
Zhang Long was extremely loyal to the Radiant Emperor, reaching the level of a fanatic Believer.
And his Infinite Light was part of the Radiant Emperor’s power, separated and bestowed upon Zhang Long.
Gazing at this person, Su Yu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
This person was extraordinarily loyal to the Radiant Emperor, but now, he couldn’t recognize that the "Radiant Emperor" before him was an imposter.
Because now, as the "Source of Cause and Effect," the "First Cause," Su Yu was the creator of the Universe, the founder of all civilizations, and the source of everyone’s bloodline, genes, and power.
In this sense, he was the Radiant Emperor, and even if the real Radiant Emperor appeared, he couldn’t be more genuine, and would likely be regarded as a "Pseudo Emperor."
Hence, the disappearance of the Radiant Emperor left his whereabouts unknown.
In Zhang Long’s memory, there was only Su Yu as the Radiant Emperor.
No matter how powerful, he couldn’t change this fact.
Thus, Su Yu sighed at the terrifying high-end power of this universe, as even someone as strong as Zhang Long could only be manipulated.
Yet, despite impersonating the Radiant Emperor, Su Yu felt no embarrassment.
Before crossing into this world, he had received the Radiant Emperor’s permission, even being adorned with this Emperor’s Golden Armor directly.
With the Radiant Emperor himself having no objections, naturally, Su Yu wouldn’t dwell on pointless concerns and comfortably assumed the role of the Radiant Emperor.
Looking at Zhang Long, Su Yu slowly spoke: "This is the Star Tower, capable of illuminating the cosmic Galaxy."
After speaking, he transmitted the information regarding the Star Tower to Zhang Long.
Zhang Long did not display any surprise at Su Yu’s voice, maintaining the demeanor that the Radiant Emperor should have such a voice.
However, upon receiving the information about the Star Tower, Zhang Long’s face showed astonishment, and moments later, he exclaimed in excitement, "Thank the Great Emperor!"
"With this tower, mere rebels are nothing to worry about."
He naturally understood the significance of the Star Tower Navigation to the Empire.
An all-universe accessible navigation device was exceedingly convenient and useful.
He also realized why the Emperor hadn’t taken action against the known rebels; it turned out he was creating this incredible Star Tower!
Ah, the Emperor is truly great! Zhang Long sincerely praised in his heart.
Su Yu nodded slightly and said, "Go now, I... have granted you First-Level access to the Star Tower, for you to oversee its control."
Zhang Long promptly replied, "As you command!"
He hurriedly withdrew.
The Star Tower was newly constructed, and many have not yet been given access connection rights; he had to set up permissions, security protocols, and so on, to ensure the Imperial Army was bathed in the Star Tower’s radiance.
With innumerable troops in the Imperial army, equipping the entire army with Star Tower Navigation was a massive project, so he had to proceed quickly, avoiding any delay in the Emperor’s grand matters.
Watching Zhang Long’s departure, Su Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Though assuming the role of the Radiant Emperor was done with peace of mind,
in terms of sheer power, he was indeed inferior to Zhang Long, the commander of the Forbidden Army.
Even with this Emperor’s Golden Armor on, he probably still couldn’t win.
If Zhang Long, for any reason, saw through Su Yu and decided to attack, Su Yu would be in a disastrous position.
Fortunately, this did not come to pass.
Even though theoretically, the source of Zhang Long’s power was also Su Yu,
how to utilize this source’s Attributes for combat was something Su Yu had yet to figure out.
Now, with Zhang Long sent away, Su Yu could focus on the actions he originally intended to undertake.
Namely, addressing those rebels a hundred billion light-years away.
Those rebels had been beguiled by the Evil God, gaining twisted, malevolent powers.
Theoretically, since Su Yu was the Source of Cause and Effect, the one who beguiled these rebels was Su Yu himself.
He now needed to find out just how he enticed these rebels?
And how he could utilize this identity to counter these rebels?
Su Yu activated the Star Tower, using its signal to begin observing the insurgents.
Gradually, he noticed some discrepancies.
"Are these... Brutal Warriors? Pain Apostles? Nihility Embodiments?"
"Wait, these seem... to be the professions I created earlier?"
Su Yu finally understood to an extent.
The powers and professions used by these rebels were unexpectedly new professions Su Yu had created previously.
Back in the Azure Star System, due to environmental changes in the Subspace, Su Yu had found normal professions challenging to attain.
Hence, he referenced the Ghost Hidden Blade and created several new professions utilizing Evil God Demon energy.
And indeed, these professions, as envisioned by Su Yu, were easy to assume and progressed rapidly.
This led to the development of a large number of Third-Order strongmen on the Azure Star.
However, subsequently, these cultivated strongmen served little purpose.
It’s not to say they were useless, just that their combat capability was futile to Su Yu at the time.
Their significance was in establishing a strong Transcendent civilization, integral to rituals and foundational to the Little Universe.
But now, Su Yu realized, things were far from simple!
Currently, a ten-thousand-year upheaval, these rebels somehow obtained the new professions Su Yu created ten thousand years later.
At this moment, the Subspace Tides had not yet erupted, and the environment had not changed.
Once these rebels assumed these professions, they underwent personality changes, becoming ruthless and brutal.
Thus, they incited rebellion, slaughtering Imperial citizens.
Understanding all this, Su Yu gazed up silently.
Well then, this was waiting for him.
These rebels were indeed beguiled by him; the professions were of his creation, an irrefutable truth.
The so-called Source of Cause and Effect, concurrently the source of all evil, yet regardless, Su Yu was inevitably carrying this burden.
"I don’t want to bear this burden. Since you rebels are using the professions I created, that makes things easier..."
