Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic

Chapter 1213: Chapter 665: The Ultimate Question, Essence of Life

The newly unlocked profession is indeed related to the environment Su Yu is currently in.

That is "Existence"!

Moreover, just like before, there are no conditions, and one can directly choose to take the job!

Previously, professions below the Third-Order could be directly employed, but above Third-Order required a ritual.

However, after Su Yu’s second awakening of the Profession Panel, any unlocked profession no longer requires a ritual; just a thought can lead to employment.

Even though the professions unlocked after the second awakening are exceptionally powerful.

If following the Order System of the first awakening panel, Sixth-Order, Seventh-Order, even Eighth-Order and Ninth-Order are not enough to measure the might of Space-Time Transcender, Spirit God, and Cause and Effect Singularity.

The power of these three professions can influence the entire Primordial Universe, yet the employment is unbelievably simple.

Su Yu guesses that it’s either because any profession unlocked after the second awakening no longer requires a ritual.

Or these professions belong to "basic professions," like those basic professions in the first awakening panel such as Mechanic, Fighter, etc.

Su Yu naturally hopes it’s the first, as it will be very convenient if any profession in the future doesn’t require a ritual.

But the second possibility also exists.

Perhaps future awakenings of professions will require rituals.

No matter what, the awakening of the "Existence Hunter" at this moment doesn’t require a ritual, saving Su Yu a lot of trouble.

After all, under the current circumstances, it’s difficult to find a normal universe and space-time to perform any ritual.

While Su Yu was contemplating this, he didn’t delay the main business and immediately issued a command in his heart to employ Existence Hunter!

[Congratulations to the host, successfully employed, current profession: Existence Hunter (lv1: 0/10000000000).]

[Congratulations to the host, successfully awakened the Core Ability: Hunting Instinct. As an Existence Hunter, you can search for ’Existence’ and initiate the hunt.]

[Hunting Instinct: (lv1) Everything is based on ’Existence,’ whether material, energy, information, data, spiritual energy, rules, space-time... everything is based on this; through hunting and devouring the ’Existence’ of other things, one can enhance one’s own existence.]

As Su Yu successfully employed the profession, the Profession Panel immediately popped up with a notification.

At the same time, a large amount of information flooded into Su Yu’s consciousness.

He felt some strange changes occurring in his consciousness.

All thoughts, memories, perceptions... were reshaped.

The whole person felt reborn.

"This is... existence..."

Su Yu felt that the essence of his life had undergone a complete change.

At the same time, he also realized an ultimate question that had eluded him for a long time.

That is... what is the essence of life?

This question was also considered by Su Yu before, but he didn’t have a clear answer.

Taking himself as an example.

At first, when he was an ordinary person, his essence was a mass of over sixty kilograms of organic matter aggregate.

Composed of billions of cells, maintaining the operation of life and thinking ability.

However, beneath this mass of organic matter lies a deeper essence, which is the soul.

The so-called soul is equivalent to a thinking carrier constructed of spiritual energy, which can maintain a certain degree of thinking ability without a physical body.

But at this stage, his main consciousness carrier was still the brain, the flesh body; if death occurred, the so-called soul could only exist briefly and would soon disappear.

At that time, in Su Yu’s view, his essence was a consciousness self-identified as "Su Yu," and the body and soul were merely carriers of this consciousness, which could be changed, but the essence remained unchanged.

Then, Su Yu became a Transcendent, breaking through Third-Order, and took the job of Ghost Hidden Blade.

At that time, Su Yu’s physical body was not that important; the consciousness carrier mainly relied on spiritual energy.

He could even abandon the body and completely enter Subspace, becoming an existence akin to an Evil God.

Later on, as Su Yu’s strength continued to improve, he took the job of Time-Space Mechanic, became the Source of Cause and Effect, and had a second awakening of the Profession Panel, taking the jobs of Space-Time Transcender, Cause and Effect Singularity, Spirit God...

At this stage, Su Yu was also somewhat unclear about what his consciousness carrier was.

Physical body? Essentially, Su Yu no longer had a body in the conventional sense; his body was merely a temporarily constructed image, which could be abandoned and changed at any time.

Spiritual energy? Through Spiritual Ability Limit, Su Yu could seal and limit all his spiritual energy, having none at all, yet still maintaining consciousness.

Or, Cause and Effect? Space-Time?

In any case, Su Yu was unclear about what his consciousness carrier was; he had a feeling that even without Cause and Effect and Space-Time, without spiritual energy or matter, his consciousness seemed to be able to exist.

But why can it exist?

What exactly is the carrier?

Su Yu couldn’t figure it out before.

Not knowing what the carrier is, let alone what the most essential consciousness is, Su Yu was even less clear.

Even now, when Su Yu is already unbelievably powerful, having devoured all the information in the Primordial Universe into his consciousness for stable operation.

The carrier of the Primordial Universe is now Su Yu, but Su Yu doesn’t know what his own carrier is.

But now, after taking the job of "Existence Hunter," Su Yu finally understands.

It turns out consciousness doesn’t need a carrier at all.

The "Existence" of consciousness itself is its carrier.

Material, spiritual energy, cause and effect, space-time; none of these is essence, but merely external manifestations.

And how does the existence allowing consciousness to "exist" come about? It’s simple.

Before transmigration, Su Yu had heard a proverb, which was...

"I think, therefore I am!"

The operation of thinking consciousness produces "Existence."

And this existence, in turn, sustains the operation of life’s thinking.

The essence of life’s thinking is this, a self-sustaining "existence."

This is the innate knowledge brought to Su Yu as an "Existence Hunter."

It is based on this essence.

Su Yu’s consciousness can maintain thinking after stripping away spiritual energy, material, cause and effect, space-time, information, and other externals.

However, Su Yu feels that without any external support.

Merely relying on his "I think, therefore I am," maintaining the "existence" of thinking is very difficult.

The thinking must reach a certain intensity to recognize the self "I think, therefore I am" essence.

Ordinary life, separated from the body and soul, is dead.

Even if it’s Su Yu, after stripping away all externals, it’s difficult to permanently maintain self-existence.

Hence the need for "Hunting Instinct!"

Hunting "Existence" from other life forms, other existences.
