CHAPTER 848: CHAPTER 427: SU YU, WHO ARE YOU? (2)

The ecology of this planet is already destroyed.

However, Su Yu now has the Evil God Soldier Mecha, capable of controlling the planet’s energy. Can he rebuild the planet’s ecology?

Su Yu pondered for a moment, then descended and communicated with the Evil God Soldier Mecha through his mind, attempting to manipulate the planet’s energy.

He didn’t actually summon the Evil God Soldier Mecha; he just borrowed a bit of its power. Thus, his control was just a superficial test.

But with just a light touch of control, Su Yu saw the ground below begin to undulate.

The vast basin, thousands of kilometers wide, scorched by a fusion fireball, began to level out.

The flowing magma started to cool.

Su Yu could even sense that some surviving microorganisms deep within the earth’s layers could be provided with nutrients by stimulating the planet’s energy, allowing them to rapidly proliferate and develop if he desired.

Even if the entire planet’s ecosystem went extinct, with the Fifth-Order Power to manipulate planetary energy and catalyze the proliferation of life, it wouldn’t take long for the planet to be covered by life once again.

Su Yu halted his control, thinking to himself, "Moving mountains and filling seas, reshaping the ecology, truly worthy of the Fifth-Order Power..."

Su Yu knew that if he called forth the Evil God Soldier Mecha, he could control the planet’s energy to restore the planet’s geology and ecology, recreating Azure Star!

However, the Evil God Soldier Mecha is too sinister. If he used its full power to shape the planet, it might end up as a Star of Suffering...

Su Yu had only barely used the power of the Evil God Soldier Mecha to control some geological changes, and he could already sense the faintly lurking Power of Pain in the layers he manipulated.

Fortunately, it wasn’t much.

But if he were to use this power on a large scale, it might be a different story.

At that point, even if the planet’s ecology was restored, it would become a painful planet, with an environment perhaps worse than it is now.

Such a painful planet could give birth to bizarre creatures, perhaps all sadists.

The entire planet would become a living hell!

This is a form of pollution, pollution of the planet’s energy and biosphere.

After all, the Evil God Soldier Mecha is transformed from the Fifth-Order Pain Evil God, essentially a true Evil God.

Trying to do good with the Pain Evil God’s power, to transform the ecology, is truly a case of "not the right tool for the job."

Of course, the residual Power of Pain from the pollution can still be purified by Su Yu, but it remains a hassle.

"Wasn’t Ruins Star once covered with Ghost Energy in a similar way? Did the Brutal Evil God pollute the planet’s energy and ecosystem with His power?"

Su Yu recalled how Ruins Star was once filled with Ghost Energy and Radiation Beasts, suspecting it was the handiwork of the Brutal Evil God.

Ruins Star wasn’t always covered in Ghost Energy; it became that way after the battle between the Ghost Emperor and the Brutal Evil God’s manifested form.

During their battle, the Brutal Evil God’s manifested form likely wasn’t complete, so it controlled the planet’s energy for supplementation.

This caused massive pollution to the planet’s energy.

Perhaps the pollution occurred when the Ghost Empire was first established, only deepening after the great battle.

After the great battle, the planet’s energy on Ruins Star was completely polluted.

The entire planet was covered with Ghost Energy Radiation, breeding countless Radiation Beasts.

Fortunately, after the cataclysmic battle, the wild energy purged the Ghost Energy Radiation, and the Radiation Beasts were wiped out.

Now, Ruins Star, though incredibly harsh and unsuitable for human habitation, is paradoxically "cleaner" than ever.

Only a few places still have some stubborn Ghost Energy pollution remaining.

"In this way, it’s actually perfectly suited as the site for my promotion to Fifth Order!"

Su Yu thought to himself.

He decided not to rely on the Evil God Soldier Mecha for now but to use his own power to control the planet’s energy, restore the ecology, and hold the Fifth-Order ritual!

Su Yu had already obtained the complete intelligence on the Fifth-Order ritual from the information left by the Ghost Emperor.

Controlling the planet’s entire energy is just one requirement.

Another requirement is to control a civilization, promote its development and reproduction, and ultimately resonate with the planet’s energy.

Then, through the resonance of civilization and planet energy, foster new life forms on the planet to be considered a success!

This is the basic requirement, seemingly similar irrespective of profession, as they all require controlling civilization and resonating with the planet.

Other details vary according to different professions.

That’s why the Ghost Emperor valued population so much and always wanted to seize the Mechanical City.

After all, the more people in a developing civilization, the better. Fewer people could lead to extinction, hindering development.

Now the Ghost Emperor is dead, and his subjects have joined Su Yu’s banner.

Next, Su Yu must finish what the Ghost Emperor started: developing civilization! Resonate with the planet’s energy to complete the ritual and ascend to the Fifth Order!

But before that, Su Yu needs to level up the Time Mechanic to maximum level.

Perhaps he also needs to take on one or two Fourth-Rank professions, also leveling them up, then unlock the Fifth-Order profession ritual from the Profession Panel, and then he can officially begin the promotion.

Before that, Su Yu can prepare early.

All future paths are in his mind.

The biggest challenge is... interference from the Brutal Evil God.

The Brutal Evil God is still lurking deep in Subspace. If Su Yu’s ritual preparation is halfway done and the Evil God emerges to wreak havoc, causing civilization extinction and planet energy pollution, the ritual is bound to fail.

Su Yu himself might even suffer severe injuries or death as a result.

This is almost a certainty; the Brutal Evil God will not sit idly by while Su Yu ascends to the Fifth Order.

Therefore, for Su Yu to ascend, he must first completely eliminate the threat of Brutality.

But without ascending, he lacks the ability to completely resolve the Brutal Evil God.

So...

Su Yu looked up at the sky.

His vision instantly spanned a thousand kilometers, seeing the Mechanical Council members still floating in orbit.

They had used the Time Interference Cannon to recover from the earlier battle’s wounds, appearing no different from before the battle.

But as Su Yu understood the Power of Time, these Mechanical Creations surely paid a hefty price and could not truly be unscathed.

Su Yu’s figure moved, flying swiftly toward the sky.

It was time to openly discuss matters with these Mechanical Creations.

With his own strength alone, he couldn’t eliminate the Brutal Evil God’s threat. He must seek the help of these Mechanical Creations.

In fact, over the past year, Su Yu’s avatar and the Mechanical God had already connected with these Mechanical Creations, but they rarely spoke, sharing only some technical information.

Now, Su Yu wanted to have a true conversation with them.

He now possessed the qualifications and strength!

Su Yu’s figure rapidly ascended, soon reaching over a thousand kilometers to the orbital path.

The Mechanical Creations seemed to have anticipated Su Yu’s arrival and were already prepared.

A Mechanical Creation, ten times larger than the original Mechanical City, opened its doors to Su Yu.

Su Yu was unable to determine its rank, not knowing whether it was Fourth-Rank or Fifth-Rank.

Its appearance looked very complex, possessing an intricate mechanical beauty, its components gleaming with a metallic sheen in the cosmic vacuum, operating silently and with great coordination.

With Su Yu’s insight, he could tell it was the work of a great Extraordinary Mechanic, worthy of being called a masterpiece.

Its shape seemed like a giant cannon, a space station, and a spacecraft all at once.

At this moment, its doors wide open, it was clearly inviting Su Yu inside.

Without hesitation, Su Yu flew into the entrance.

Su Yu stayed slightly vigilant; this Mechanical Creation’s rank was unknown, its strength uncertain.

Even using the Power of Time to observe the future, Su Yu couldn’t see what was inside or predict what would happen once he entered.

Instinctively, he remained on guard.

But Su Yu wasn’t overly concerned. With his current strength, even if the Mechanical Creations turned hostile, he wouldn’t fear them.

He was just curious about what the Mechanical Creations would say to him.

Su Yu entered the dark entryway, and the door immediately closed behind him, sealing him inside.

Looking up, Su Yu saw a variety of gleaming instruments aimed at him.

Then, a cold mechanical voice came forth: "Who exactly are you?"
