Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 966 - 486: Replacement!_2

"A dream within a dream within a dream?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Su Yu felt a bit speechless, calmly observing his surroundings.

This time, the dream scene is a gaseous planet, quite similar to the one where Su Yu discovered the Dream-Making Star Core.

The gaseous planet is enormous, with storms raging, creating endless lightning, yet under such conditions, a multitude of life has been born.

The bodies of those life forms are also gaseous, or in the form of gaseous gel, extremely light.

They gracefully swim through the endless storms, and have even developed a unique civilization, using special technological creations to bind the storm, forming dynamic storm "cities."

Su Yu is currently inside a storm city.

This city is entirely composed of rotating storms, the invisible storms are firmly bound, forming a stable "wind wall."

Outside the wind wall, lightning flashes and thunder roars, the world is in chaos.

Inside the wind wall, it’s calm, "living and working in peace and happiness."

Those gaseous beings roamed leisurely within the storm city, eating the storm and lightning outside when hungry, carefree.

This is a very peculiar gaseous civilization, which opened Su Yu’s eyes upon seeing it.

That Soft Mud Monster is quite imaginative, with all sorts of details very realistic.

But... are these really just virtual dreams?

Su Yu stood quietly in the storm city, calmly observing his surroundings.

He discovered a loophole through the Star Tower signal and entered, finding himself amidst a dream loophole, so those gaseous beings did not see him.

As Su Yu observed these creatures, he attempted to decipher their "language."

Since these creatures have formed a civilization, naturally, they have a need for communication, so they also have their own language.

But their language is even more abstract than that of the Soft Mud Monsters.

Their language is conveyed through storms.

Storms are different from sound as sound is regular vibrations, whereas storms are genuinely chaotic systems.

Three bodies of mass can form a three-body system that is difficult to calculate, and a storm composed of billions of gas molecules is naturally even harder to calculate.

And these gaseous beings convey thoughts and exchange opinions through the chaos in the storms.

Su Yu observed for quite a while before understanding a bit of their language. It’s too abstract, after all.

However, when he only understood one word, Su Yu’s heart suddenly tightened.

Because that word is... "Replace!"

That’s right, the same meaning as what the Soft Mud Monsters said in the previous layer of the dream!

"Replace?"

Many possibilities instantly flashed in Su Yu’s heart.

One possibility is that the Soft Mud Monster, having nothing better to do, constructed this peculiar Dream World and these gaseous beings within his consciousness.

If those Soft Mud Monsters are indeed the creators of the Dream-Making Star Core, being good at dream-making is not surprising.

But the essence of the Soft Mud Monster hasn’t changed, so in the dream, although it transformed into a gaseous being, it still could not forget its desire to replace humanity.

Another possibility is that... this civilization of gaseous beings is not a virtual construct of dreams at all, they exist in reality!

And what these gaseous beings mean by "Replace" is not about wanting to replace humans, but...

To replace the Soft Mud Monsters from the previous layer of the dream!

That’s right, Su Yu believes these gaseous beings actually want to replace the Soft Mud Monsters from the previous layer of the dream!

Until now, Su Yu has entered three layers of dreams.

In the first layer of the dream, hundreds of billions of "dream humans" lie in slumber.

After entering the minds of these dream humans, Su Yu entered the second layer of the dream, where a large number of Soft Mud Monsters reside, muttering about the "remnants of the Human Empire," "replace," clearly those Soft Mud Monsters want to replace humanity.

Those dream humans are the bodies prepared for them.

Afterward, Su Yu entered the mind of one Soft Mud Monster, entering the third layer of the dream.

In the third layer of the dream, it transformed again into these gaseous beings, who are also muttering "replace."

Who do these gaseous beings want to replace? Su Yu boldly guesses, it is those Soft Mud Monsters!

Perhaps those Soft Mud Monsters have long been replaced by these gaseous beings!

No wonder those Soft Mud Monsters don’t look like they have any technological civilization, turns out their inner nature is actually these gaseous beings.

These gaseous beings possess very peculiar technology.

However, are these gaseous beings really the true bodies of these creatures?

Within the thoughts of these gaseous beings, could there be another dream, with another group of creatures? Another civilization?

Su Yu, thinking about this, suddenly selected a gaseous creature resembling a large transparent bug, and activated navigation through Holographic Perception.

He wanted to go inside this gaseous creature’s mind and see!

Soon, following the guidance of Star Tower Navigation, through a series of bizarre actions, Su Yu entered the mind of that gaseous creature.

"Indeed, another dream!"

This time, the dream is a beautiful Life Planet, covered in green plants and various flesh-and-blood animals.

Among these animals, there is a race that looks like human-shaped octopuses, which has discovered civilization.

These human-shaped octopuses wear a transparent, fishbowl-like sphere on their heads filled with seawater, allowing them to move on land.

They too have developed an advanced technological civilization, using uniquely styled Mechanical Creations to transform the entire world according to their needs.

They established a complex water circulation transportation system on the planet, even extending the waterways into space, with beautiful water rings orbiting the planet.

Those human-shaped octopuses can swim through the waterways directly from land into space.

Those water rings are not only transportation lines but powerful weapons, as well. Su Yu saw that these water rings occasionally fired powerful water cannons to destroy asteroids coming from space.

Su Yu looked at this vibrant civilization and quickly made an assessment: no more than Third Rank!

This assessment was made based on the tier system of the Transcendents, which Su Yu referred to for rating civilizations.

The standard for the rating is combat capability.

In this Octopus People civilization, a single Third Rank being could annihilate them.

So Su Yu believes that their civilization level does not exceed Third Rank.

And such a civilization, not exceeding Third Rank, clearly is not sufficient to be the creator of the Dream-Making Star Core!

Su Yu tried to translate the language of these Octopus-like creatures.

Logically, it should be easy this time, since they are quite similar to humans, with similar logical thinking.

Even the characters are pictographs Su Yu is familiar with, and there are paper books that Su Yu recognizes.

However, Su Yu quickly discovered that the language and script of these Octopus-like creatures are highly incomplete, with very few useful records, all fragmented.

Their books and materials contain large sections of blanks, leaving only sporadic words.

Su Yu’s translation proceeded smoothly but was useless since everything was incomplete.

From these fragments, Su Yu finally translated some useful records, which are...

[Terror descends from the depths of the nightmare! Do not sleep! Do not sleep! Do not sleep!]

The truly useful record is mainly just this sentence.

The rest are just incomplete phrases, among which Su Yu saw two familiar words: Replace!

After researching the script and then listening to the communication of the Octopus People, Su Yu found that their communication was also extremely incomplete, lacking any real logic, with only one word being repeated endlessly... Replace!

These Octopus People look busy and bustling, but in fact, they are all rambling madly!

Su Yu understood now why the languages of the gaseous beings and Soft Mud Monsters from the previous two layers of dreams were so difficult to decipher.

It wasn’t just because their languages were abstract, but also because they were all speaking nonsense, an alien language spoken by a bunch of lunatics—Su Yu would need a miracle to decipher it.

And the two words they kept repeating: Replace! left Su Yu with a chill in his heart.

Who exactly is "replacing" whom?

This layer upon layer of dreams and civilization, what is truly going on?
