She had to be cautious; not a single suspicious detail could be overlooked!
Not until this mont did a researcher suddenly exclaim, "But... Chen Gu's promotion ceremony hasn't been completed!"
It was only then that the three leaders realized sothing was amiss. Usually, an invasion from the Endless Realm was the final step of the entire promotion ceremony. After enduring the trial of the Endless Realm, one would successfully ascend to the next Energy Level.
But several minutes had passed since the invasion from the Endless Realm, and the four dedicated energy lines were still supplying energy to the generator at full capacity!
"What's going on?" Dr. ng Ji rushed back to the equipnt. "Bring up all the data..."
Before he could finish his sentence, one of his researchers exclaid in alarm, "Doctor, Chen Gu's life force readings are plumting! They're already at the red line!"
Everyone's heart sank at once.
These researchers had all been working with Dr. ng Ji for a long ti and had interacted with Chen Gu frequently. They were all fond of him, so watching his life force readings drop continuously was distressing for everyone.
Soon, his readings had fallen below the red line and were still dropping.
Dr. ng Ji had lowered his head, unable to bear looking. Rainbow covered her mouth, struggling to contain herself. Aviloya's emotions were complex; she was stunned to find that she felt not even a hint of joy. Instead, her heart was heavy.
...
Inside the generator, Chen Gu was in a "dying" state. He gave a bitter laugh. I really shouldn't have underestimated the perils of a practitioner's path.
But is this really the end?
Why did I return to this era?
Why did *The Past of Four Hundred* appear on ?
What secrets are still hidden aboard the *Four Hundred Warriors*?
To have co this far, only to leave so silently?
My family... perhaps they aren't my true family, but I clearly felt that complex emotion of kinship from them!
Chen Gu scoffed inwardly. Is this how it ends? No! Surrender and bow my head? Absolutely not!
What else can I do? He wracked his brain, then realized there wasn't much... It seems there's only Atomic Life!
That's right! I am a Radiation Missionary! I can use Atomic Life to heal myself!
Never had any practitioner activated their professional skills during the promotion process.
But Chen Gu didn't dwell on such things. His only obsession was to survive. I must live!
Survival ans there's a chance for everything else. To die in silence ans everything is for naught!
So he desperately tried to activate his ability. But the professional skill that usually manifested with a re thought had now beco incredibly difficult to activate; no matter how hard he tried, there was no response.
One failure, two failures, three failures... thirty failures... a hundred failures—it didn't matter. Chen Gu, maintaining a tenuous thread of consciousness, still arduously tried to activate the skill.
Outside the generator, Chen Gu's life force readings on the monitor had dropped to their lowest point and remained there for nearly a minute without any sign of recovery.
Dr. ng Ji was filled with despair. He bit his dry lips and said in a low, somber voice, "Declare him dead..."
But just as he finished speaking, the life force readings suddenly jumped up a bit. Dr. ng Ji thought he had misread it and rubbed his eyes forcefully. "Huh?"
The readings jumped again. Then, their rate of increase accelerated, ascending rapidly like an old-fashioned helicopter. In a matter of seconds, they had returned above the red line and quickly recovered to a green, healthy state!
"He's alive!" Dr. ng Ji was ecstatic. The energy supply through the four dedicated lines finally began to decrease slowly.
About ten minutes later, the generator completely stopped running.
Dr. ng Ji rushed forward impatiently, "Open the door!"
HISS—
The sealed door opened. Chen Gu sat inside, his face weary but smiling with relief. "That was a close call!"
