Chapter 814 - 537: Ninth Power Level_2

Aviloya suddenly appeared beside Chen Gu and whispered in his ear, "If there's any way, do it quickly!"Chen Gu glanced at her, "Deputy Director Ding Zhou... is the situation bad?"

Aviloya said solemnly, "Although it's inconclusive, the longer the peak of light is maintained during the ascension to the Ninth Power Level, the higher the chance of success. Generally, it's only possible if it lasts more than ten seconds."

More than ten seconds... Ding Zhou only maintained it for three seconds.

Three-second man?

Chen Gu shook his head secretly, no wonder Aviloya didn't care about Deputy Director Ding Zhou's 'challenge' before, she was certain he would falter at the threshold of the Ninth Power Level.

Now it seems... it's no wonder Aviloya looked down on him, he's indeed just at this level.

But as for finding a way, Chen Gu also had no solution. Besides, Chen Gu recalled he might really just be a 'mascot' because during previous ascension ceremonies where he was an observer, he actually did nothing but stand there and watch.

Dr. Meng Ji's face grew uglier, as with the light's receding, the alarm from the monitoring equipment grew more urgent and intense—Ding Zhou's data surged, soon reaching the red line.

"The situation is extremely dire!" Dr. Meng Ji shouted, "At this rate, Ding Zhou will mutate!"

If he mutates under such circumstances, the mutant Ding Zhou will be terrifying!

Dr. Meng Ji also looked at Chen Gu, what could Chen Gu do? At this moment, Chen Gu suddenly remembered the Evil God Contract!

Chen Gu sat cross-legged and began to visualize the symbols.

In his mind, the rule loop formed by the symbols became increasingly clear, with the details continually being perfected.

Chen Gu was astonished to find that his visualization speed at this moment far exceeded what it had been in the dormitory.

Could it be due to the influence of the Endless Realm?

Whether it would help Ding Zhou inside the generator, Chen Gu did not know, but it certainly benefited him, so he continued to visualize without distraction.

...

Inside the generator, Ding Zhou's decades-long accumulation at the Eighth Energy Level, combined with the Bureau of Mystic Security's strong support, had exchanged for a considerable amount of precious resources, which all completely decomposed at the moment the light reached its peak and then successively integrated into Ding Zhou's body.

It was precisely this integration that made Ding Zhou instantly feel that he was the 'King of the World'!

The sudden empowerment made him feel omnipotent.

However, a few seconds later, when he faced the Endless Realm, he was instantly struck down into the dust. These entities from the Endless Realm adopted different methods when confronting different targets.

They tempt human weaknesses.

For instance, targeting Ding Zhou, especially at this moment—since he felt omnipotent, it precisely demonstrated his craving for power.

First, use extremely powerful force to teach Ding Zhou to 'recognize reality,' then use this power to tempt him.

This time, an Evil God descended.

Ding Zhou sensed that in front of such an entity, he indeed was vulnerable. Power, authority, the Evil God could offer it all, most importantly, if he did not accept this 'gift,' there was no doubt this ascension would fail.

If he failed, he wasn't sure whether there would be a second chance or if he'd accumulate enough resources for a second ascension.

Just when he was struggling intensely inside, knowing the disastrous consequences of falling, yet unable to resist wanting to accept, another force suddenly intervened from an incomprehensible spatial dimension.

This force didn't seem sufficiently powerful but possessed a unique attribute.

It was this attribute that deterred the Evil God from making any rash moves.

And it was this attribute that made this seemingly not strong enough force steadfast like a pillar between Ding Zhou and the Endless Realm!

Ding Zhou's consciousness cleared, and he broke out in a cold sweat: why had he been confused earlier, knowing the danger of falling and mutation, yet still wanted to accept it?

He still directly faced the Evil God of the Endless Realm at this moment, filled with awe: such a terrifying existence.

And that last intervening force stood proudly between the two, without communicating or negotiating with the Evil God, nor was there any posture of shielding Ding Zhou, yet the Evil God dared not act rashly.

This left Ding Zhou in greater shock and uncertainty: from the aura of this force, he finally found a trace of familiarity, which came from Chen Gu.

But what qualified Chen Gu to make an Evil God so apprehensive?

Evil Gods were the top-notch existences in the Endless Realm, even if there were gaps in status among them, they wouldn't refrain from acting merely due to an aura or attribute.

Thus, although Ding Zhou was granted a chance to catch his breath, he dared not relax in the slightest. He thought this was a 'respite' Chen Gu had fought for him.

Once Chen Gu couldn't hold on, he would ultimately have to face the Evil God himself, to complete his final ascension... or face complete failure.

However, Chen Gu achieving this much already left Ding Zhou quite gratified; the previous apologies and amends were not in vain.

This guy is not just a simple mascot; he's truly capable.

Yet, Ding Zhou still felt somewhat pessimistic, recalling his earlier experience of being 'dominated' by the Evil God. If it happened again... he would most likely fall into that state once more.
