It wouldn't grant him a pass simply because he possessed "The Past of Four Hundred People," nor would it beco easier just because Wu Yihuo was a rare genius.
Chen Gu faintly sensed that the entity approaching him was so powerful it was invincible. Even the Principal, Aviloya, would seem powerless before this being.
And that entity, keenly sensing Chen Gu's desire for power, unleashed a flood of temptations!
But Chen Gu remained unmoved. Setting aside whether I can even obtain the so-called 'power' they're promising in my current state, there's also the matter of you beings from the Endless Realm. You've been using the sa old tricks for years! Which professional hasn't prepared for Endless Realm contamination before their promotion ceremony? Your thods are still so rudintary; it's no wonder that after so many years of covert scheming, human society remains rock-solid!
The entity... acted very perfunctorily. It seemingly didn't hold Chen Gu in high regard and appeared to just go through the motions. Seeing Chen Gu's unwavering faith, as firm as a rock, the entity simply departed.
The challenge Chen Gu still faced was the inherent difficulty of the promotion itself—the agonizing sensation that every cell in his body was on the verge of exhaustion!
Outside the generator, Aviloya and Rainbow were on high alert. Chen Gu's previous promotions had alard "big figures" from the Endless Realm. Generally, the higher the Energy Level of the promotion, the higher the rank of the Endless Realm entity that would appear.
But this ti, after the loud alarm "Detecting Endless Realm invasion," the alert was called off within just a few minutes!
Everyone outside exchanged puzzled looks. Dr. ng Ji found it hard to believe. He personally went to inspect the instrunts thoroughly before turning to Aviloya and Rainbow. "There's nothing wrong with the equipnt," he stated.
"The entire Endless Realm invasion process took two minutes and thirty-seven point five four seconds."
"The invading species was... a Demon Form."
Not only was the duration extrely short, but the rank was also the lowest level "Demon Form"! This seed completely inconsistent with Chen Gu's stature.
Rainbow asked Dr. ng Ji, "Has there ever been such a situation during Fifth Energy Level promotion ceremonies before?"
Dr. ng Ji was familiar with these records. "Yes, according to official records, there have been two such instances in history."
"One was an obscure individual whose promotion to the Fifth Energy Level had already been a significant struggle. He remained at that level for the rest of his life, never again finding the courage to advance."
"The other had a promising future after their advancent and eventually reached the Ninth Power Level." At this, both Aviloya and Rainbow showed expressions of anticipation. However, Dr. ng Ji paused, his expression turning sowhat grim as he continued, "This person is infamously known in history as the highest Energy Level Mutant, 'Disaster' Roby!"
Aviloya and Rainbow's expressions darkened at once. 'Disaster' Roby had been at the Ninth Power Level, yet he mutated suddenly and without any warning.
He was the War God of the Freedom Alliance, presiding over an important multinational conference at the ti. Roby was supposed to be on-site, in charge of security, but he mutated then and there. During his attack, Aitosa, the Pri Minister of the Freedom Alliance at the ti, was killed on the spot. Dozens of attending foreign ministers from various countries also died, ten more were gravely wounded, and there were countless other casualties!
Afterward, 'Disaster' Roby managed to evade the pursuit of four Ninth Power Level professionals from the major Star Nations and mysteriously vanished.
Then, every few years, he would reappear, each ti causing a major disaster and successfully evading capture.
However, 'Disaster' Roby disappeared for the last ti one hundred and twenty years ago and has not been seen since. Many speculated that this nightmare for all humanity had finally died of natural causes.
Over the years, countless scientists, Dr. ng Ji himself included, have researched why Roby, a top-tier Ninth Power Level professional, mutated so abruptly.
Nurous theories abounded, but none were universally accepted.
One of the more credible theories suggested that Roby had likely been contaminated by beings from the Endless Realm long ago. However, they had sohow concealed this contamination so effectively that even Roby himself remained unaware of it.
Then, with the assistance of the Endless Realm, Roby's promotions progressed smoothly, making him the youngest Ninth Power Level of his era.
It was only then that the Endless Realm suddenly stepped forward to reap its harvest...
Comparing Chen Gu to these two "precedents," neither outco was one Aviloya and Rainbow wished to see.
And no one could fathom what Aviloya was truly thinking at that mont. Chen Gu had saved her previously, but during that incident, Aviloya had noticed so "suspicious points."
This ti... those suspicious points have only deepened.
She was dood to be unable to fully trust Chen Gu for a long ti to co, possibly even forever.
From an outsider's perspective, I might seem sowhat biased and unfeeling. But I know all too well that I am the Director-General of the Bureau of Mystic Security—the Confederation's line of defense against the Endless Realm. I am like a gatekeeper. Facing the perilous Endless Realm, with the entire Confederation behind , the slightest misstep could doom the entire Confederation!
