Chapter 1093: First Meeting with the God Lord

"Hehe, Xiao Yu, all things considered, this is our first formal meeting. I am your maternal grandfather, He Tiansheng," the God Lord said with a chuckle.

Although separated by a mask, making it impossible to see what kind of face was covered behind it, Chen Yu knew that the face beneath that mask must be extremely conceited.

"This counts as a meeting? Is this the way you choose to have your first meeting with your grandson?" Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said, "Are you afraid to face me, or are you afraid that I will see the face behind your mask?"

"Although I have seen your photos, that was you from decades ago, so I want to see your true face. Can you agree to this request of mine?" Chen Yu asked.

"That is actually nothing major. If you want to see, I will let you see." The God King chuckled and slowly removed his mask, revealing an old man before Chen Yu's eyes.

"You look the same as in the photos from decades ago, just much older. Your genetic technology is so formidable, why not use it on yourself? To make yourself look younger?" Chen Yu asked.

"Those things are, after all, against the natural order," the God Lord shook his head slightly and said. "My goal does not lie there, so I must maintain my body in its most primitive state."

"You want longevity?" Chen Yu looked at He Tiansheng.

"Yes, I want longevity, or even eternal life," the God Lord laughed. "In this world, there is nothing more worth researching than eternal life."

"Over these years, I have conducted many experiments, dissected human genetic sequences, and attempted to find the method for human eternal life. Human genes are locked; as long as you find the key to open this lock, the secret of eternal life will be held in your hands."

"Then did I succeed? Or rather, have you found the method that can truly grant you eternal life?" Chen Yu stared at the God Lord.

"Those things are within reach, yet I just cannot seem to grasp them," the God Lord muttered. "And in you, I discovered something different, which is why there was the situation of your faked death over twenty years ago."

"You want to use my body to study the secret of eternal life? It seems this body of mine hides quite a few secrets," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Your body is different from ordinary people. When you were born, there were even strange phenomena across the sky. Your grandfather and I—one a leader in genetic technology, the other a Dharma Cultivator—had different views regarding you," the God Lord said.

"I dedicated myself to research, while your grandfather sought to defy the heavens and change your fate, attempting to groom you into someone who wields power over the world; and by controlling you, he would essentially control the world," the God Lord said. "We had two different ideas, and because of this, we had a falling out."

"Then looking at it now, which one of you was right?" Chen Yu was quite concerned about this question.

He wanted to know, between his two closest relatives, who was actually right?

"We were both wrong," the God Lord sighed slightly and said. "You are you; you are not under the control of either of us, and your life is developing according to your own path, not the one we paved for you."

"So we were both wrong. Your fate can only be controlled by yourself, and your grandfather and I also discovered that you are simply not under our control," the God Lord said.

"When you discovered that I was not under your control, what was it like?" Chen Yu asked with a chuckle. "Did you kill me?"

"You were created by the two of us, especially your grandfather. In order to help you reshape your Purple Star Emperor Fate, he lost an eye and an arm. As a Cultivator, he defied the heavens and had to face the Heavenly Tribulation."

"After exhausting all efforts to cultivate you, you were originally meant to be his ultimate weapon, but I never expected that you would harbor luck and refuse to be controlled. If it were you, could you stand it?" the God Lord said with a chuckle.

"So you created me with your own hands, and now you want to destroy me with your own hands?" Chen Yu asked.

"Haha, that's right. We created you with our own hands, yet you cannot be used by us, so we can only kill you," the God Lord said with a chuckle. "Perhaps you could consider letting me take some DNA from you to supplement all my research. I guarantee that Chen Tianming will not be able to hurt you."

"Be a lab rat in your laboratory? Hehe, forgive me for being blunt, but I, Chen Yu, am not the type of person to be slaughtered at will," Chen Yu laughed.

"Then only death awaits you. After you die, I can still extract the genes from your body to conduct research for my cause, and the Kingdom of Eternity I created will also be fully realized," the God King chuckled.

"There are plenty of people who want to kill me, but no one has ever succeeded," Chen Yu sneered.

"I am different from the enemies you have encountered before," the God Lord shook his head slightly and looked at Tang Xue. "Tang Xue, didn't you swear that you would follow me? How did you change your mind in the blink of an eye?"

"I'm sorry, but I cannot let him be harmed," Tang Xue shook her head.

"But that knife in his chest was stabbed by you," the God Lord sighed and said. "You put him in the most important place in your heart, but what about him? What place has he put you in?"

"Tang Xue, you must remember, in this world, the only person who can cherish you is yourself," the God Lord looked at Tang Xue and said leisurely. "Now there is an excellent opportunity placed before you; do you really not need to seize it properly?"

"I don't need to. I only hope he lives, and I have thought it through," Tang Xue looked deeply at Chen Yu. "Liking someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to possess him; being by his side is enough."

"Hehe, it seems you still don't see things clearly enough," the God Lord smiled slightly and said indifferently. "Do you know that loving someone requires paying a huge price? You give everything, but in the end, you discover that the person who hurt you the deepest is the very person you gave everything for."

"I understand, I know all of that," Tang Xue nodded slightly. "But I am willing to do it. To give for him, I am willing and happy to do so."

"Stubborn and unrepentant," the God Lord shook his head slightly. "You will regret the choice you have made."

"I don't regret it, never," Tang Xue stared at the God Lord.

"Perhaps, but since you chose to be loyal to me, do you really think you can change your mind now?" the God Lord laughed.

The God Lord on the other side of the screen laughed sinisterly and said indifferently, "I have done many things and encountered many different kinds of people."

"Some of them were respectful to me on the surface, while others were truly loyal to me, but whether they were truly loyal to me or not, I do not know, because human hearts are separated by skin."
