Chapter 1910: The Only Requirement

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. You are the benefactor of our Shilaike Family." Lao Shilaike bowed deeply.

"Whatever requirements you have, our Shilaike Family will do our utmost to assist you."

"Hehe, I have only one requirement, and that is to let Qiongsi successfully ascend to the position of Head of Family. That is all." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"That is only natural. He is the successor to the Head of Family we chose ourselves, so no matter how many variables there are, he remains the successor."

"That is good. However, I still have a question." Chen Yu put on a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Chen, if you have any questions, please ask directly. We will certainly tell you everything we know," Lao Shilaike said respectfully.

Right now, he regarded Chen Yu as a god-like figure; Chen Yu's status even surpassed that of the God Lord.

After all, they needed to use gene inhibitors when restoring their original appearances.

This kind of inhibitor was extremely painful; for them, it was simply agonizing.

But a single pill from Chen Yu, dissolved in a bowl of clear water, solved the problem instantly, which made him feel it was incredible.

"I would like to know, what kind of person is the one who invented this kind of gene agent? Although his agent is not perfect, it can still produce results beyond imagination."

Chen Yu asked a question he already knew the answer to; he was step-by-step coaxing out information about the God Lord.

"He..." Lao Shilaike hesitated for a moment. This was their family's greatest secret.

Moreover, the true rise of their Shilaike Family was backed by the support of the God Lord, and he was hesitating whether to reveal this secret.

"If it is truly inconvenient to say, then forget it. I do not like to force others," Chen Yu smiled. He also understood that one should not be overly hasty.

Right now, in Lao Shilaike's heart, the God Lord was a god-like figure.

Although he himself had performed well, compared to the status the God Lord held in their hearts, he was still lacking quite a bit.

"No, Mr. Chen, that is not what I meant. It is just that the person who possesses the gene agent is very mysterious, and he has always been a loner. He does not wish for his true identity to be revealed."

Lao Shilaike pondered for a moment and said, "But he also likes strong people. Mr. Chen is a strong person, and I believe he would also like to deal with Mr. Chen."

"Let us not force it. It will not be too late to reply to me once you have thought it through," Chen Yu smiled faintly. "In any case, I will be staying at the Shilaike Family for a period of time recently, so you can take your time thinking."

"However, An'er likely has something to find me for. If he comes to pick me up, I am afraid I will have to leave, and once I leave, I likely will not return."

"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment. I will go and consult with the Elder Council now," Lao Shilaike's expression tightened.

Naturally, they wanted to keep an expert like Chen Yu in the Shilaike Family.

So he hurried into the Ancient Castle, leaving only Chen Yu and Qiongsi outside.

"Mr. Chen, Lao Shilaike is still very cautious regarding matters of the God Lord. There are many things that only I will know after I succeed as Head of Family," Qiongsi said. "I do not think he will easily leak information about the God Lord."

"Hard to say. I actually find Lao Shilaike quite interesting," Chen Yu smiled faintly. "He weighs the pros and cons; perhaps he might reveal some information to me."

"This... given his suspicious nature, it is really hard to say. However, our family's tradition is that when there are major decisions, we generally consult with the family's Elder Council," Qiongsi said.

"Not acting arbitrarily and gathering everyone's opinions—this is actually quite good," Chen Yu nodded slightly and said. "No wonder your Shilaike Family stands firm; there is a reason for it."

"Yes, our ancestral teachings are like this. One person's consideration is never as comprehensive as everyone considering it together," Qiongsi said. "That is why the Duke from our ancestry established this rule."

"The rule is fine, but human nature is always difficult to predict. Even for the Elder Council, they passed the matter of gene injection unanimously, right?" Chen Yu laughed.

"This... that is indeed the case," Qiongsi said somewhat awkwardly. "Regarding this, there was almost no hesitation; it was passed unanimously."

"Human nature is just like that. These old fellows, they possess immense wealth and power, so all they think about is how to extend their own lifespans," Chen Yu shook his head and said. "So when the God Lord's gene agent appeared, they agreed almost without hesitation."

"There is no help for it. Things decided by the Elder Council cannot be changed by anyone," Qiongsi sighed slightly and said. "I think they must be regretting it now."

"But they are still holding onto hope. They feel that the God Lord must have new gene agents coming out, and when that time comes, there will surely be a way to improve their current situation."

"Believe me, this is the only step the God Lord can take. It is impossible for him to have anything better," Chen Yu shook his head and said. "Because the Heavenly Dao does not allow it, and the end of science is theology."

"Even the God Lord cannot escape the law of the Anhei Senlin. If he continues to play like this, sooner or later he will be noticed by the laws, and when that time comes, what he will face is destruction."

"This world has truly many restrictions," Qiongsi muttered. "Sometimes I really feel that humans are not even as good as an ant."

"Be more confident; you are an ant yourself," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Alright, Lao Shilaike should be about done communicating with the Elder Council."

Inside the Ancient Castle, the four Elders of the Shilaike Family had already restored their appearances. They looked at their hands and touched their long-lost skin, each one ecstatic.

"Miraculous, truly too miraculous. In the past, restoring human form with gene inhibitors required paying a huge price."

"Yes, that kind of pain—I really do not want to experience it again."

"Fortunately, Lao Shilaike decided to meet him, otherwise we would have missed this big shot."

A group of Elders looked at their aged faces; now they felt this face of theirs was truly too good. They felt as if they had come back to life.

"Now there is one problem that we need to face together," Lao Shilaike organized his words. "That is the matter of this Mr. Chen."

"Lao Shilaike, this Mr. Chen is extremely formidable. We must build a good relationship with him."

"Yes, no matter what conditions he proposes, we must agree. This is a true expert; we must obtain his support."

The group of elders were not fools either; they all knew what was what regarding this matter.

With such a powerful and capable expert like Chen Yu joining them, their Shilaike Family would certainly be like a tiger with wings. How could there be any reason not to satisfy the other party's requirements?
