Chapter 1907: You Leaked a Secret

"You have leaked the secrets of our Shilaike Family; this was originally not allowed, but considering that you also did it for our sake, we will not hold it against you this time."

"Lao Shilaike..." Qiongsi sighed: "The achievements the Shilaike Family has today, aren't they the accumulation of every generation of the Head of Family?"

"They took unconventional paths to do things others dared not do, and that is how they guarded and achieved the family's scale today."

"You... why can't you put aside your inner prejudices and try this thing that has never been attempted before?"

Lao Shilaike was slightly stunned. He looked at Qiongsi with some confusion, and seeing his unyielding gaze, he could not help but feel a touch in his heart.

"Fine, I am willing to try. You go out first; I will go see him in a while." Lao Shilaike suddenly nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Lao Shilaike, thank you for being willing to listen to me and try." Qiongsi was overjoyed. He bowed slightly to Lao Shilaike and then retreated.

"Lao Shilaike, why did you agree to him? I feel like many people are watching the family right now." The remaining few Elders turned around in unison and looked at Lao Shilaike with some confusion.

"Because I saw my past self in his eyes, and I also saw the unyielding spirit in him."

Lao Shilaike smiled and said: "It is still a bit too heavy for us to pass this burden to him."

"Sometimes we have to admit that we are old. We must learn to accept the ideas of young people, because their ideas will always have their merits," Lao Shilaike said leisurely.

"Then have you decided to go see that Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner from Huaxia alone?" the Elder Council asked.

"Yes, I have decided to go see him alone," Lao Shilaike nodded slightly and said: "After all, we are not clear about the other party's identity, so it is better to be cautious."

In the Ancient Castle of the Shilaike Family, Qiongsi and Chen Yu were already waiting.

"I succeeded. I didn't expect Lao Shilaike to actually agree to my request. You have to know that in the past, he always had a rigid image." Qiongsi's tone was very excited.

"Lao Shilaike himself is someone who can quickly accept new things, otherwise your Shilaike Family would have long since fallen into decline," Chen Yu said indifferently: "However, he is still cautious, otherwise he would have already come out to see me now."

"Yes, he holds a suspicious attitude toward everyone," Qiongsi nodded slightly and said: "The fact that the Shilaike Family can flourish in his hands has a certain connection to his ability."

"It's a pity, he made the mistake that all old people make."

"That is, having an extreme fear of death," Chen Yu took over Qiongsi's words and said.

"Right, he has an extreme fear of death. He is very afraid of dying. As early as when the God Lord had not appeared and he was only fifty-something, he was already trying every possible way to extend his life," Qiongsi said.

"Heh, what a pity," Chen Yu shook his head and said: "The more he is like this, the more he is taken advantage of. Some people will seize this weakness of his to deceive him."

"That's right, because he pursues immortality, he has been deceived quite a few times on this path," Qiongsi said, shaking his head helplessly.

"Until he met the God Lord?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, the God Lord can be considered reliable among those people. After all, he can indeed extend a person's lifespan. Lao Shilaike is already 90 years old this year, but apart from his appearance, his bodily functions are still the same as a young person's."

Qiongsi said: "His genetic technology is considered very powerful, but it is immature; otherwise, Lao Shilaike and the group of elders would not have become like this."

"It is not that the genetic technology is immature, but that he can only do this much," Chen Yu sighed slightly and said: "Going against natural growth—there is no such logic in this world."

"So it is only a matter of time before these side effects appear in them. Their celebration is just that physical changes have appeared now; their human consciousness has not yet been replaced."

"If it continues to develop like this, their consciousness will be replaced by other genes in their bodies, and by then, they will turn into monsters one by one."

"This... is it unavoidable?" Qiongsi was startled.

"Unavoidable. I can delay them turning into monsters to the greatest extent, and at the same time allow their lifespans to be maintained for a few more decades, but wanting immortality is basically impossible," Chen Yu shook his head.

"Because all development in this world has rules. Wanting immortality is simply impossible."

"Lao Shilaike and the four Elders all received this inoculation together," Qiongsi sighed slightly: "They probably don't know what their fate has become."

"It is best not to let them know, because once they know, they will fall into deep despair. Coupled with genetic mutation, their emotions will become extremely difficult to fathom," Chen Yu said: "At that time, unpredictable things will happen."

"Mr. Chen, you... what exactly are the unpredictable things you are talking about?" Qiongsi was startled, and he couldn't help but raise his head to look at Chen Yu.

He felt that this sentence Chen Yu said casually and unintentionally was very likely a very terrifying matter.

"For example, killing all their own descendants," Chen Yu said: "For example, taking out the hearts of their descendants and devouring them to compensate for their own punishment."

"Or for example, keeping you all in captivity and using the blood, essence, and spirit in your bodies to make up for their own deficiencies."

With every sentence Chen Yu spoke, Qiongsi's face turned a shade paler. By the end, his face was deathly pale, without a drop of blood left.

"Do not think that what I am saying is alarmist," Chen Yu said: "Since ancient times, those who sought immortality have always started by targeting their own descendants in the end."

"So you are all the same; this is fate, a fate no one can escape."

"Then Mr. Chen, I beg you... you must find a way to help me," Qiongsi steadied himself.

He had originally thought that as long as he could succeed the family, any problem could be solved easily, but he never expected that the real problem actually lay with his elders.

Thinking of Chen Yu's words, he felt a chill. No, he must find a way to get rid of this.

"These things are for the future; you should take care of what is in front of you first," Chen Yu chuckled: "I hope your grandfather's state can be maintained."

"However, these genetic technologies of the God King have many flaws. He fused these animal genes, attempting to make humans more perfect, but there is also a great repulsion between these genes."

"When problems arise then, no one can say for sure."

Qiongsi nodded. He was desperately thinking about what he should do if that day really came.
