Chapter 1289: Chapter 741: Two Paths, Su Yu’s Choice
Upon thinking this, Su Yu suddenly activated the abilities of the “Destruction Origin” vocation.
This vocation was unlocked initially to undertake High-dimensional Destiny and gain Power of Destruction.
Thus, by using this ability, one can sense the source of High-dimensional Destiny.
Earlier, Su Yu had always thought that High-dimensional Destiny existed within the upper Narrative Layer, which is the current Narrative Layer.
However, when Su Yu crossed the Narrative Layer and arrived at the current Narrative Layer, he still couldn’t find the source of High-dimensional Destiny.
Previously, it was because Su Yu’s powers hadn’t recovered, and he was too weak.
Now, Su Yu has regained his strength, and even the Book of Narrative has reached Full Level.
Theoretically, he is now much stronger than he was in the lower Narrative Layer.
Yet at this time, even though Su Yu senses High-dimensional Destiny, he still can’t perceive the precise location.
It seems to be there and not; it seems to exist yet also not, perhaps in a higher domain.
Even with Su Yu’s current strength, he doesn’t know where to seek the source of High-dimensional Destiny.
Su Yu quietly senses for a moment but doesn’t waste time searching.
Because he knows if he can’t find it, then it’s not in this Narrative Layer; even if he crosses the Narrative Layer again to reach a higher one, he still won’t find it.
This is because High-dimensional Destiny is inherently the Power of Destruction from the Dark Emperor, likely existing in a state infinitely close to transcendence together with the Dark Emperor.
Such a state surpasses any Narratives Layer.
Unless Su Yu also reaches that state, he cannot find the source of High-dimensional Destiny.
“If that’s the case, the Primordial Emperor’s path to transcendence is a ‘Hidden Narrative’, writing a new secret story outside his original one, gaining a new life and destiny no longer controlled by other Narrative Layers.”
“Then what about the Dark Emperor? Is his path indiscriminate destruction?”
If the Dark Emperor is truly infinitely close to transcendence, then his path must be entirely different from the Primordial Emperor’s.
It should be a path aligned with his own power, which is absolute destruction.
Destroying all logic, story, cause and effect, time and space, life, consciousness…everything, then the Dark Emperor naturally transcends.
After all, once everything is destroyed, what can possibly control him?
Such a path is feasible too.
Of course, whether he can still exist or live after destroying everything is the question.
But the Dark Emperor evidently doesn’t care about such matters.
He just wants to destroy everything.
And it seems he’s nearly succeeded.
In the lower Narrative Layer, there’s nothing left but ruins.
In the upper Narrative Layer, it seems there’s only one Universe left, nothing more.
If everything is destroyed, then the Dark Emperor transcends, or maybe he doesn’t need to destroy everything, just all humanity.
That’s why he left High-dimensional Destiny.
Meanwhile, this High-dimensional Destiny spreads the Primordial Emperor’s story, thereby hindering his transcendence process, achieving two goals in one.
Of course, the Primordial Emperor won’t sit idly by; the fact that humanity still exists is proof enough.
The Primordial Emperor and the Dark Emperor continue to clash, hindering each other, ultimately leading to both being unable to transcend, trapped here.
Until a victor emerges, neither Emperor can transcend.
After all, they are two sides of the same individual; deciding a winner is incredibly difficult.
Until Su Yu arrived.
Su Yu now understands why the Radiant Emperor suddenly came to find him earlier.
It’s not merely because of past acquaintances but also because Su Yu is the key to the transcendence of both the Primordial and Dark Emperors.
Su Yu is currently the bearer of High-dimensional Destiny, and since he has undertook the “Destruction Origin” vocation, it has given him a remarkable Control Power over High-dimensional Destiny.
Su Yu won’t be manipulated by true High-dimensional Destiny, and High-dimensional Destiny seems unable to leave him to seek another Host.
This means that High-dimensional Destiny is now locked onto Su Yu and can’t escape.
If Su Yu voluntarily integrates into the Primordial Emperor’s “Hidden Narrative,” that would completely resolve the threat of High-dimensional Destiny, leaving no external High-dimensional Destiny.
The Primordial Emperor’s story would no longer circulate, the story would completely shift to being hidden.
This way, the Primordial Emperor could complete the transcendence process.
Su Yu will transcend alongside the Primordial Emperor and countless humans.
Similarly, if Su Yu chooses to continue enhancing the Power of Destruction, brings that vocation to Full Level, and unlocks Core Specialization.
He would walk down the Dark Emperor’s path, destroy everything entirely, and finally transcend alongside the Dark Emperor.
Two paths to transcendence are laid before Su Yu, and if he desires, he could almost immediately truly transcend.
For countless years, through time unmeasured, no life has ever had this opportunity.
Ordinary beings don’t even know what a Narrative Layer is.
Those stronger realize the existence of Narrative Layers and know they are controlled—but remain powerless and go with the flow.
Even stronger ones grasp the Power of Narrative, capable of writing and rewriting stories, but cannot transcend and ultimately fail to attain true freedom and mastery over their destiny and thought.
Only a few of the strongest, like the Spirit Beast Clan, can find the path to transcendence and begin the process, but they must endure countless hardships, eventually abandoning logic and self, yet success remains elusive.
This demonstrates the difficulty of transcendence.
Su Yu believes that the Primordial Emperor and the Dark Emperor, having reached this point, undoubtedly paid unimaginable costs.
And now, the paths of these two Emperors have reached an end, only one step remains to enter the realm of transcendence.
It only takes Su Yu choosing one, a simple push, and he transcends with them.
Su Yu even holds the power to choose, deciding who transcends and who falls, all depending on his will.
Who could possibly have such an opportunity?
As for choosing between the two paths?
The primary choice, of course, is the Primordial Emperor.
Because the story in High-dimensional Destiny indicates this Emperor at least cares for humanity, and his path carries all humanity together to transcend; the Dark Emperor’s path is too extreme.
Clearly, the Primordial Emperor’s path is superior.
Yet possibly not…
Su Yu falls into contemplation.
And his newly birthed hidden story also stagnates, seemingly waiting for Su Yu’s decision.
After much contemplation, Su Yu rises from the throne, with a single thought, arriving in the void outside the planet.
“What is your choice?”
The Radiant Emperor, seeing Su Yu emerge, quickly asks.
Su Yu’s choice affects the transcendence of the two Emperors and humanity’s survival; the Radiant Emperor must ask.
Su Yu glances at him, pauses thoughtfully, then slowly speaks: “For now, I choose neither; I will transcend myself and then make a decision!”
