Chapter 1350: The Past of Chen Yu

"In his eyes, I am nothing more than a perfect Experimental Subject, and to achieve his goals, he can sacrifice anything."

"Anything, including his own kin?" Liu Ruxi turned her head to look at Chen Yu, a look of disbelief appearing on her face.

"Yes, including his own kin." Chen Yu nodded slightly and said, "And in his eyes, I am merely a slightly better Experimental Subject; there is actually no family affection mixed between us at all."

"Why is he such a person?" Liu Ruxi looked at Chen Yu, somewhat puzzled: "Is he a madman?"

"You can consider him a genius, or you can consider him a madman." Chen Yu said indifferently: "In fact, to put it bluntly, genius and madness are just a single thought apart."

"His original name was He Tiansheng. More than twenty years ago, he was a famous genetic researcher at the Academy of Sciences and the most brilliant academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

"At that time, the Gene Project he was in charge of carried the dream of a powerful Huaxia."

"So that's how it is." Liu Ruxi murmured: "Then what happened later?"

"Later..." Chen Yu smiled and said: "He went mad."

"Mad? What exactly is going on?" Liu Ruxi was startled and looked at Chen Yu, somewhat puzzled.

"Because he proposed some crazy plans to fuse the genes of wild beasts into humans, and he also proposed changing the human genetic sequence organization, compiling human genes and codes."

"That is indeed a crazy plan." Liu Ruxi's expression was shaken, and she murmured: "Although I don't understand these things, I also feel that this is not a good thing."

"Yes, this is not a good thing." Chen Yu nodded slightly and said: "This is simply challenging the Heavenly Dao."

"Right, did he succeed?" Liu Ruxi asked.

"No, because after the high-level think tank spent days and nights of sleepless research, his crazy proposals were rejected one by one."

"And at that time, the head of the think tank wrote tens of thousands of words of instructions, telling him to give up this idea."

"Then what happened later?" Liu Ruxi asked: "He still didn't give up on these things, right?"

"Right, as a madman, how could he let his plan fail?" Chen Yu gave a wry smile and said: "So he did these things in secret."

"However, the matter was leaked, and he was stripped of his position as an academician. The intention from above was to let him calm down, but he couldn't calm down. He took his data and fled overseas by faking his death. From then on, He Tiansheng was dead, and taking his place was the God King..."

"It sounds quite crazy, and also quite terrifying." Liu Ruxi murmured: "You said you are also his Experimental Subject? How did this happen?"

"Because he felt that my constitution was one that is rarely seen in hundreds of years, and there were some special things about me, so he wanted to dissect my body and conduct some experiments."

"You are his own grandson?" Liu Ruxi was genuinely startled, and she said with some disbelief.

"Yes, my dear." Chen Yu gave a wry smile and said: "Some of his subordinates carried out his plan, but it failed later, so I ended up among the common people."

"It was only in these past few years that I reunited with my family. If it weren't for that subordinate of his having a moment of soft-heartedness back then, I'm afraid now..."

Chen Yu stopped here, he raised his head and smiled bitterly: "So don't have any doubts about me, and don't hold any hostility toward me. I am just a pitiful person."

"Alright, I'm sorry." Liu Ruxi sighed slightly; she had indeed wronged Chen Yu.

"Speaking of this, your father, Liu Zhihao, is almost the same kind of person as the God Lord." Chen Yu gave a wry smile and said: "He handed you over to the God Lord in exchange for a chance at immortality."

"Yes, they are the same kind of person, but does the God Lord really have something that can allow a person's lifespan to reach its limit?" Liu Ruxi asked.

"He does, but the premise is that you have to pay a huge price. Just imagine, what would it feel like if your body were replaced by some kind of cold-blooded animal, and from then on you no longer liked to eat human food, but only liked to eat bloody raw meat?"

"This... is terrifying." Liu Ruxi was stunned for a moment.

"Huaxia's Dharma Cultivators can indeed extend their lifespans through their own cultivation, but wanting to achieve this through human genetic modification is a fantasy."

"And even for Dharma Cultivators, wanting to succeed requires going through layers of Heavenly Tribulation, and those who finally succeed are one in ten thousand." Chen Yu sighed and said.

"Chen Yu, thank you for telling me this." Liu Ruxi turned her head to look at Chen Yu and said sincerely: "It was you who let me know that there are many things in this world that cannot be controlled by human power."

"I'm used to these things." Chen Yu smiled and said: "My grandfather is the same as my maternal grandfather; both of them have been playing with my fate in their own ways."

"Your grandfather... is what kind of person?" Liu Ruxi looked at Chen Yu, feeling somewhat depressed.

"Let's not talk about it. Just know that what he has done is even worse than He Tiansheng." Chen Yu gave a wry smile and said.

"Alright, just now I was complaining about the unfairness of fate, but thinking of you, I seem to be much luckier." Liu Ruxi smiled slightly.

"Yes, you are much luckier than me, simply too lucky." Chen Yu gave a wry smile and said.

"Then what do you plan to do in the future? What about that person wearing an orange robe who calls himself an 'Other-person'?" Liu Ruxi said.

"He is a subordinate of the God Lord, an Underworld Envoy. I have already killed two before, but the one who came this time seems to be very powerful."

"Powerful to what extent?" Liu Ruxi asked: "Even you can't beat him?"

"Yes, but I scared him off. Next time, I won't be afraid of him." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "I told you so much just to put your mind at ease. As long as I am here, you can be safe and worry-free."

"Thank you." Liu Ruxi raised her head and looked at Chen Yu.

"Don't talk to me like that. The reason you activated the Lotus Body... is entirely because of me." Chen Yu sighed and said.

"What kind of person is Liu Lianxin? Can you tell me about the past between you and her?" Liu Ruxi asked.

"Alright... In the beginning, she and I were actually existences that were both enemies and friends." Chen Yu sighed slightly, and he said leisurely: "When we first met... we were almost fighting each other with our lives..."

As Chen Yu spoke of Liu Lianxin's past, when he mentioned that in the Secret Realm, Liu Lianxin chose to undergo Soldier Release to prevent those things from happening, it made Liu Ruoxi feel a bit emotional.

"She loved you." Liu Ruxi said.
