Chapter 1194: Chapter 646: Severing Cause and Effect

However, Su Yu certainly can’t just slip away directly; he needs to calm down Prince Chu Mu and those high-ranking nobles.

Otherwise, with the emperor’s disappearance, the entire empire might fall into chaos.

So next, Su Yu exchanged a few words with Prince Chu Mu, mostly with Chu Mu speaking, while Su Yu occasionally responded with a word or two, speaking sparingly.

He adhered to the principle that the more you say, the more mistakes you make, fearing that one wrong word would trigger a sensitive nerve in Prince Chu Mu, leading to aberrations.

Although Su Yu spoke very little, Prince Chu Mu was already very satisfied. He had waited for this day for millennia, longing for a face-to-face conversation with the emperor to discuss matters of the heart.

Now that it’s finally happening, he felt that all his hardships over the millennia were worthwhile.

The primordial chaos within him had also completely stabilized, temporarily free from the risk of uncontrollable mutation.

And after Prince Chu Mu was content, Su Yu slowly spoke, informing him that he was about to embark on a journey to handle an important affair, and advised him to continue governing and stabilizing the empire.

Upon hearing the emperor was leaving, Prince Chu Mu was startled and promptly asked what important matter it was and whether he needed any assistance.

But Su Yu only lightly shook his head and said, "It’s unspeakable..."

After hearing it, Prince Chu Mu’s eyes flickered, as if he realized something, and he fell silent without further questioning.

At his level, he naturally knew that certain existences and matters, merely knowing about them, could pose great risks.

He guessed correctly; if he knew the purpose of Su Yu’s departure, it indeed carried great risk.

The risk was that he would realize the emperor before him was fake, having mistakenly accepted the wrong person as his father... That could immediately trigger uncontrollable mutations.

Su Yu certainly couldn’t tell him, so he feigned mystery.

And after a moment of silence, Prince Chu Mu sighed.

Having governed for millennia, he too was somewhat exhausted, managing a vast empire spanning hundreds of billions of light-years, dealing with countless major and minor affairs daily. If not for his extraordinary talent, he would have long been overwhelmed.

He thought with the emperor’s awakening, he could finally pass the baton, reassured to be a prince, yet unexpectedly, the emperor decided to leave upon awakening.

His sighing expression reminded Su Yu of that world he traveled from, the look of a worker knowing overtime was required.

Su Yu secretly chuckled; Prince Chu Mu truly embodied the most humanity of anyone, as long as he didn’t realize his true origin causing mutation, he was the best of human princes.

Having such a good-natured prince consistently working overtime seemed somewhat indecent.

But then Su Yu thought to himself, he too had been imprisoned on the throne for ten thousand years, not to mention the billion years spent creating the Creation Machine. Comparing with that, Prince Chu Mu’s hardships seemed negligible.

Thinking this, Su Yu felt justified, and speaking with a dignified tone, he encouraged Prince Chu Mu with a few words about being a prince and not slacking off.

If it were a normal family, this was how a parent would educate their child, recalling their own hardships and telling the child theirs was nothing, encouraging them: ’I believe in you...’

Or an employer lecturing an employee, urging them to voluntarily work overtime...

However, Su Yu’s wording was concise, his tone dignified, definitely not conveying that feeling, but if one analyzed the meaning carefully, it would become clear.

Yet Prince Chu Mu didn’t comprehend, and for the first time, with the emperor’s encouragement, he was inspired, contemplating deeply.

Prince Chu Mu quickly found motivation, introspecting that if the emperor survived many dangerous situations, it was disgraceful for him to surrender to hardship...

Seeing Prince Chu Mu’s clear eyes resembling a university student, Su Yu was relieved.

"Rest assured, this time when I go out, I’ll definitely find your real father and put him back on the throne."

Su Yu whispered to himself, then released and retracted a flash of golden light, disappearing from the throne.

Even with Prince Chu Mu’s strength, he couldn’t discern how Su Yu vanished.

Su Yu was currently employed in the "Cause and Effect Singularity" profession, and in terms of pure spiritual strength, he was undeniably inferior to Prince Chu Mu, who was habitually at a river system level.

But the abilities of the Cause and Effect Singularity were incredibly magical.

For instance, now Su Yu used the power of the Cause and Effect Singularity to sever his causal ties with the outside world, entering a sort of causality void state, instantly traversing hundreds of billions of light-years of space-time, arriving near the Azure Star System.

That’s why Prince Chu Mu couldn’t perceive how Su Yu left.

Prince Chu Mu glanced at the empty throne with some puzzlement, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, then slowly walked out of the hall.

Moments later, the empire’s upper echelons outside heard the emperor had awakened only to leave, and they were left staring at each other.

The last time the emperor left Zhendan Mother Star was during the Great Expedition period, and afterward, he never left again.

This time, what’s the big affair again?

...

At this time, Su Yu looked at the Azure Star System in the distance and quietly recalled the momentary crossing of hundreds of billions of light-years— "causal leap."

Essentially, Su Yu had severed all his causation from the source of all causes, the "Source of Cause and Effect," becoming a "Cause and Effect Void Body" untouched by any causation.

This is the capability of the Cause and Effect Singularity, which can deeply manipulate the force of the Source of Cause and Effect, selectively picking desired causes.

But just now, Su Yu didn’t pick any causes, leaving himself without any causation.

In this way, Su Yu resembled being outside the universe in a causality void, with no causation, as if everything external ceased to exist.

At this point, Su Yu willed slightly and pulled the causation of the Azure Star System. Because other causations had been severed, this slight pull on causation was exceptionally intense and conspicuous.

As a result, he immediately managed to bridge this bit of causation and traverse hundreds of billions of light-years.

If Su Yu desired, he could cross even greater distances, thousands or even billions of times further.

This was the fastest speed Su Yu mastered.

This was originally possible only outside the universe—causal leap—but now Su Yu was executing it within the Primordial Universe.

"Does this mean there’s essentially no distinction between inside and outside the Primordial Universe..."

"Or perhaps outside the Primordial Universe isn’t truly nihility, but merely that the causes there have been severed, making it imperceptible, hence perceived as causal void..."

Su Yu recalled his prior experiences outside the universe.

There, causation didn’t exist, there was nothing—a groundless void.

Only by utilizing the mechanics of cause and effect to release causality radiation could he sustain his existence, then utilize intent to achieve causal leap for movement.

But now Su Yu doubted if outside the universe truly was void.

Perhaps outside the universe contained many things, but the causation of those things couldn’t connect with Su Yu, hence feeling like void.

Just as previously, when Su Yu used the Cause and Effect Singularity to sever all causation, he couldn’t sense anything around him.

This closely resembled being outside the universe.

Outside the universe isn’t void; rather, Su Yu "cannot see," unable to establish causation, naturally feeling like nothing exists.

"So this is the so-called Infinite Universe by the Radiant Emperor?"

"Outside the universe isn’t nihility, but a real infinite universe; only that causation is isolated, making it imperceptible..."
