CHAPTER 849: CHAPTER 428: THE SECRETS OF THE SUBSPACE DEEP LAYER, MR. SU YU’S MAJOR MOVE!

"Who am I?"

Su Yu heard this question, paused to think, and immediately understood.

Then he directly replied, "I am Su Yu, always have been Su Yu, not Zhang Chenfeng or some other powerful figure’s resurgence."

Su Yu knew these Mechanical Creations probably harbored the same suspicions as the Ghost Emperor—that Su Yu was a powerful figure’s resurgence.

They even suspected that Su Yu might be Zhang Chenfeng.

After all, in just a year or two, someone as powerful as Su Yu emerging was indeed quite strange.

But Su Yu himself naturally knew he was not some powerful figure’s resurgence; he was just Su Yu.

After answering, Su Yu found the idea amusing, thinking if he really were Zhang Chenfeng’s resurgence or if these Mechanical Creations mistook him for Zhang Chenfeng.

Would these cold Mechanical Creations bow down, calling him master?

Would they reveal their true nature and become as lively as Nuonuo and the others?

But Su Yu was merely fantasizing. He had no interest in pretending to be someone like Zhang Chenfeng.

He was who he was; he was Su Yu and no one else.

The mechanical devices flickered slightly, seemingly activating some functions, assessing something.

After a long time, the mechanical devices dimmed, then a virtual projection appeared before Su Yu.

In the projection, a mechanical face continuously changed appearances, never stopping.

Finally, this mechanical face froze on the visage of a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man appeared devoid of any human qualities, like a face generated by artificial intelligence.

"Welcome, Mr. Su Yu. Allow me to introduce myself: I am the Speaker of the Mechanical Council."

"My name is Kong."

The mechanical face spoke without any fluctuation in tone but maintained a courteous demeanor.

It seemed the Mechanical Council’s members had used their instruments to verify Su Yu’s identity.

Kong addressed Su Yu as Mr. Su Yu, not as Zhang Chenfeng or any other identity, indicating some sort of conclusion had been reached.

This was a good outcome, sparing Su Yu from having to explain further.

Though being mistaken for Zhang Chenfeng could have its advantages, falsehood is falsehood. If exposed, it would be awkward, especially if Zhang Chenfeng actually reappeared in the future. What then?

This result turned out to be the best.

"Hello, Mr. Kong."

While contemplating internally, Su Yu politely greeted aloud.

Kong nodded, saying, "We are aware of your intentions."

"Based on our observations, you are undoubtedly a member of humanity and part of the Empire."

"We have decided to support your ascension to Fifth Rank, to gain more powerful strength to thoroughly address the threat of the Brutal Evil God."

"We can share information on the Brutal Evil God with you and do our utmost to assist you in future battles."

Hearing this, Su Yu felt a surge of joy.

His greatest concern had been whether these Mechanical Creations would support his ascension to Fifth Rank.

After all, if Su Yu ascended to Fifth Rank, there was a risk he could become the Pain Evil God.

These Mechanical Creations might not trust him.

If that were the case, it would be troublesome. He’d not only have to deal with Brutality but also these Mechanical Creations, making ascension seem unlikely.

Now that these Mechanical Creations supported Su Yu’s ascension, it was certainly good news.

Of course, Su Yu would not completely trust them and remained cautious in his heart.

After all, they were not human, and their intentions were difficult to read. Over the millennia, they had destroyed hundreds of cities, likely killing billions.

The Mechanical Creations acted swiftly; just as they finished speaking, Su Yu felt a stream of information being transmitted.

Su Yu immediately received and began to interpret it.

Within moments, he had absorbed and understood the information, his expression thoughtful.

"I see..."

Previously, the Brutal Evil God had escaped into the depths of Subspace, causing Su Yu to lose sense of its presence, unable to discern its location.

This was one of the reasons Su Yu did not pursue.

Originally, Su Yu was curious as to where the Brutality had gone since the entire Ruins Star was sealed. Could it really have escaped the blockade?

Now, Su Yu finally understood.

According to the information transmitted by "Kong," the Brutal Evil God was now in the Subspace [Deep Layer].

It was the Deep Layer, not the depths in the conventional sense.

Only now did Su Yu realize that Subspace was actually "layered."

Previously, Su Yu’s ventures into Subspace were actually only on the "Surface Layer" of Subspace.

If Subspace was an ocean, when Su Yu entered it before, he was merely drifting on the surface.

No matter how far he drifted in Subspace, even thousands of kilometers or light-years, he remained at the "surface."

Beneath the surface was the true "deep sea," the Subspace Deep Layer.

The Brutal Evil God currently resided there.

The Subspace Surface Layer was filled with various abstract concepts, emotions, information, ideas, and so on, all incredibly chaotic.

But no matter how abstract and chaotic, concepts of space and time still existed within the Subspace Surface Layer.

When Su Yu first entered Subspace, he distinctly sensed the presence of space and time.

Without space and time, he wouldn’t have been able to act or even think within Subspace.

Space and time are the foundations for all life activities.

Water is not the source of life; space and time are.

And in the depths of Subspace, the so-called "deep sea," only various abstract concepts, emotions, etc., "settle" there.

These abstract concepts do not form Spiritual Energy, existing instead in their primitive state.
