Chapter 861 - 381: [Voidwalker] (4)
Chen Gu shuddered, and his first subconscious reaction was: It's over, I've mutated!An important criterion for mutation is the abnormal transformation of the body, and within one's self-awareness, recognizing this part of the "abnormality" as a part of oneself.
The principal and Aviloya's eyes also changed subtly, but Milgray stared at Chen Gu for a moment, and in her silver pupils, a certain energy flowed through. She breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem, it's not a transformation, but a change brought about by an elevation in life level. Apparently, this guy still isn't acclimated to his current bodily state."
After the Quantum Wizard's explanation, Chen Gu understood: His body had acquired new abilities, coupled with an elevation in life level, so his body felt, "I need a new organ to bear these new abilities." After some "consideration and deliberation," the body brought forth a pair of dragon horns without consulting Chen Gu's opinion.
However, at Chen Gu's current life level, it was easy to dissolve these pair of "dragon horns," integrating them into his body without affecting his abilities in any way.
Nevertheless, Aviloya was very cautious and pointed at Dr. Meng Ji: "Conduct the most comprehensive and strictest spirit purity test on Chen Gu."
Dr. Meng Ji was overjoyed: "Marvelous!"
With such a good research sample, what Dr. Meng Ji feared the most was the Director-General uttering a words and sending him back, like laying a dish of worldly delicacies before a glutton but forbidding a taste—letting him see and smell it, then removing it altogether?
Chen Gu looked quite speechlessly at Dr. Meng Ji, who, with eyes agleam with lewd intentions and rubbing his hands together, grinned and approached them. Chen Gu threatened: "Behave yourself, testing is fine, but hands off, or I'll ensure Chu Zheng ignores you for life!"
Dr. Meng Ji instantly wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant.
After the round of testing, it took over half an hour; the results came out: "Spirit purity of 89.44%."
The principal and Aviloya finally felt relieved; with nearly ninety percent purity, Chen Gu evidently wouldn't mutate. Dr. Meng Ji sneakily approached Chen Gu again, having already planned several experiments. As long as Chen Gu remained fixed inside the generator, Aviloya would probably have to agree to let him finish the experiments anyway; their damage to Chen Gu would be minimal.
Indeed, there would definitely be slight impacts, but for a high-energy-level master, it should be tolerable—at least that's what Dr. Meng Ji believed.
A big hand grabbed Dr. Meng Ji's neck from behind, throwing him aside: "No fooling around, step aside."
The principal intervened, and Dr. Meng Ji dared not protest.
Chen Gu was released from the generator, and he was somewhat puzzled as to whether this counted as a job, or a successful promotion, so he said: "I need a high-level training ground."
Conveniently, there was such a training ground inside the base, and when Chen Gu stood on this colossal training ground, attempting to awaken his professional power, the first to respond was not the [Radiation Missionary], nor the [Void Walker], but "The Past of Four Hundred People."
This ancient book emerged within Chen Gu's sea of consciousness, its pages flipping one by one:
Milna Katerina
Griffin Wester
Derek Kun Shen
Isabella Wu
...
Character after character, until the final page with "Ding Yan."
Then, this page flipped forward, revealing a brand-new page.
However, the pattern on this page startled Chen Gu for a moment: The creature in the illustration had nine heads—those were nine dragon heads!
Though a bit different from the "Divine Dragon" in Chen Gu's ancestral star civilization memories, those were unmistakably dragon heads, and even the dragon horns were almost identical to the pair Chen Gu had recently manifested.
However, the nine-headed dragon's body greatly diverged from the divine dragon in Chen Gu's memory, with its massive form twisting around erotically like a giant octopus, resembling the eight-headed serpent of ancient island folklore from the mother star age.
While Chen Gu was baffled, the illustration changed, becoming a dragon-headed human with eight single-eyed giant serpents coiled around the body.
The illustration continuously shifted between these two forms.
Chen Gu quietly gasped, beginning to read the text beside the illustration. In the name column, it boldly read "Gulatiumab!"
"Tyrant Gulatiumab!"
"The Most Powerful Myriad Forms Heavenly Dragon in History!"
Chen Gu was privately astonished.
On the left side was:
Name: Gulatiumab Stemor Augustus
Race: Myriad Forms Heavenly Dragon
Profession: Void Walker, Hell Titan, Charge Dominator, Resonance Council Celebrity, Element Navigator, Gifted War God, Catalyst Envoy
Origin: Earth
Abilities: Various professional abilities
...
Chen Gu has already opened his mouth, so many professions—Milgray can also use numerous abilities, it seems that super-life forms are genuine multi-professionals.
And from these professions, you can see the power of Myriad Forms Heavenly Dragon: close combat, long-range, void traversal, there are virtually no weaknesses!
"I fear all of Gulati's professional levels have reached Ninth Power Level, or even higher, worthy of being the [Tyrant]!"
On the right is:
Life is always in pursuit of higher levels, the difference being that life without born intelligence follows instinct in ignorance, whereas intelligent life has clearer goals and directions.
Humans have longed for immortality since the ancient times of mother star civilization, essentially seeking a great leap in life levels.
[Tyrant] Gulati was born in an extraordinarily ancient era, a time when arthropods were just beginning to appear on Earth.
He underwent a pivotal evolution akin to the ancient legends of "Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate," but this evolution differed from most similar life forms, as Gulati chose his unique form: a combination of various mythical creatures.
This decision allowed him to stand out in the fierce competition for advancement.
He coldly observed the entire birth process of human civilization but never intervened, arrogantly believing that humans, this lowly and tiny life form, would eventually perish like other creatures he'd witnessed dominating Earth, the only difference being humans are slightly smarter.
While humans were still fighting each other with swords, Gulati had already ascended to become a super-life form, flying away from Earth into the Star Sea. Yet, he never imagined that thousands of years later, he would reunite with humans in the Star Sea.
And at that time, humans owned vast interstellar fleets, possessing powerful Ninth Power Levels, even Gulati had to temporarily avoid clashing.
Until he suddenly fell...
Chen Gu saw a string of ellipses and became somewhat frantic: What happens next? Why is there no more?
How did the mighty [Tyrant] Gulati actually die?
Why does it break off at the critical point? Who taught them this bad habit!
Moreover, it is very likely not just a simple break, but an outrageously abrupt cut-off.
Chen Gu felt immense discomfort, wishing to open the next page in "The Past of Four Hundred People."
"Sigh…" A long sigh.
Chen Gu had always believed that "The Past of Four Hundred People" was closely linked to the legendary Four Hundred Warriors ship, even thinking it was from that pirate ship.
But later, as more character pages were opened, proving that this item might be related to the Four Hundred Warriors, but the connection is far from simple.
Now, with even [Tyrant] Gulati appearing on the book pages, further proving this point.
"This book 'The Past of Four Hundred People' can encompass all life in the Star Sea. Isn't calling it 'Four Hundred People' not quite accurate?"
"Maybe when I advance to Ninth Power Level, a page will open with an Evil God!"
Chen Gu recklessly speculated, then temporarily set aside the matter of "The Past of Four Hundred People," focusing on his own professions.
Within the sea of Chen Gu's consciousness, all thoughts flashed swiftly, with almost no passage of time externally. Those standing behind like the principal merely saw Chen Gu briefly ponder before releasing the profession of [Void Walker].
"Space… seems to have been intervened by some force." Those present are all of respectable status, the principal quickly sensed it, then gently shook his head: "Using the word intervention is not accurate, Chen Gu is still within the scope of space's rules, but is merely utilizing those rules to do seemingly baffling things."
Chen Gu has already confirmed at this moment that he has successfully advanced to the Eighth Energy Level!
The profession of [Void Walker] should have naturally awakened during Milgray's maximum-capacity assault. He can now use all professional abilities at the Eighth Energy Level.
Perhaps some of the deeper abilities are still difficult, but after some accumulation, relying on the "legacy" left by Gulati, Chen Gu is definitely a strong figure in the Eighth Energy Level of [Void Walker]!
At the same time, Chen Gu's [Radiation Missionary] also advanced to the Eighth Energy Level, with different professions advancing simultaneously, which means fundamentally, it's Chen Gu himself advancing, not just the profession?
Chen Gu cannot yet ascertain if his guess is correct, but he promptly attempted other professions; however, the results remain as before. Without using "The Past of Four Hundred People," Chen Gu cannot possibly utilize professions like [Quantum Wizard] and [Brain Domain Hacker].
"The difference with [Void Walker] is that I experienced a cosmic particle bombardment, which led to natural awakening. While other professions, due to my preconceived notions, have always been performed through 'The Past of Four Hundred People,' never truly attempted to assume the position…"
Chen Gu's thoughts became active: "Does this mean I could assume all professions?"
Going now to tell the principal and Aviloya that I want to assume positions like [Quantum Wizard], [Brain Domain Hacker], and [Multistate Special Agent], the two giants would certainly ask: how have you been exerting those professional abilities before?
Instant exposure of secrets.
"Seems I must first study the history of these professions, figure out how they naturally awaken, then calmly look for opportunities in the future to create conditions for such awakening."
Milgray couldn't contain her impatience: "When can we set out to hunt that half-kind of yours?"
Already delayed for several days, Chen Gu did not want further disturbances: "Notify everyone, prepare for action!"
