Chapter 1911: Chaos

"But he wants to know... the God Lord's secret." Lao Shilaike then spat out another sentence.

This sentence caused the chaotic scene to suddenly fall silent; everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"He wants to know the God Lord's secret?" An Elder furrowed his brows slightly.

"Yes, although he didn't say it explicitly, I can tell that he came to our Shilaike Family specifically for the God Lord," Lao Shilaike said.

"Then what should we do? If we want to extend our lifespans, we can only lean toward the God Lord's side."

"Right, even though we endure some pain, at least we are still alive."

"If both he and the God Lord can make peace with us, that would be a good thing for us."

"Exactly, the God Lord's gene serum can extend our lives to over one hundred and fifty years, and if he can help us maintain our human state, that would be perfect."

"What are you all thinking?" Lao Shilaike sighed slightly and said, "Since he is aiming for the God Lord, it means there are some grudges between him and the God Lord that need to be resolved."

"He came to our Shilaike Family just to use us as a springboard to contact the God Lord."

"Is that what he said?" an elder said.

"He didn't say it; he only said he wanted to understand what kind of person could create the gene serum," Lao Shilaike shook his head slightly, "but I know his goal is definitely more than that."

"So now we have a choice to make: choose him or the God Lord."

The group fell into silence again. After a long while, an elder spoke: "Do you think the God Lord's gene serum is reliable?"

"It's not reliable. Our bodies are getting worse by the day, and our personalities are gradually becoming ferocious," Lao Shilaike shook his head. "I feel that one day, perhaps we will be replaced by the genes of some animal within the gene serum."

"Yes, I have that feeling too," the elder nodded slightly. "That means there is a problem with the God Lord's gene serums."

"Perhaps after some time, the problems with these gene serums will gradually be exposed, and by then, it will be too late to regret."

"So now there is an opportunity before us, and we must seize it," Lao Shilaike said. "Now we shall hold a vote. Between Chen Yu and the God Lord, I choose Chen Yu."

The remaining four Elders looked at each other. Honestly, this was a rather difficult choice for them.

"I also choose Chen Yu. At least his medicine can restore me to human form, and I won't feel pain," that Elder spoke up.

The remaining three looked at each other and then pondered silently.

"The three of you, it is time for your decision. The next choice will determine the future direction of the Shilaike Family," Lao Shilaike said.

"Then I would like to ask, Lao Shilaike, what is Chen Yu's identity? Have you investigated his background?" the remaining long-haired Elder spoke.

"It is being investigated, but if I am not mistaken, he is a Cultivator from Huaxia, also known as a Dharma Cultivator," Lao Shilaike said.

"And not long ago... he contacted An'er's troops and wiped out over a hundred members of the Werewolf Clan..."

"Such a thing happened?" Everyone's expression changed slightly. The long-haired Elder said, "What is his relationship with An'er?"

"I haven't been out for long, so the information I have is limited, but I know An'er respects him greatly," Lao Shilaike said. "If I'm not mistaken, it was he who cured An'er's incurable disease, which is why An'er respects him so much."

"I understand. I choose Chen Yu," the long-haired Elder nodded slightly. "Everyone, the turning point concerning the future of the Shilaike Family has appeared. I think it is time for us to go out and meet that Mr. Chen from Huaxia."

Chen Yu and Qiongsi were still waiting. When Chen Yu learned that the entire Elder Council was coming out of seclusion to meet him, he knew his purpose had already been discovered by the other party.

He couldn't help but give a wry smile. He had snuck into the Shilaike Family just to get information on the God Lord without anyone noticing.

But he hadn't expected that after just one encounter with Lao Shilaike, his intentions would be laid bare.

These old things are truly worthy of being called people who have lived to become spirits. It's no wonder the Shilaike Family could flourish in their hands; they themselves are bugs, and their intelligence is truly not something an ordinary person can compare to.

"Mr. Chen, they are actually coming out of seclusion to meet you?" Qiongsi felt this was incredible. "They have never treated anyone so seriously before."

"That means I am worth them taking seriously," Chen Yu steadied himself. "This is not a good thing for me."

"Why?" Qiongsi looked at Chen Yu, puzzled.

"Because they already know my intentions. My goal was to extract information about the God Lord, and now they know my intent," Chen Yu laughed.

"Mr. Chen... I have never leaked a single bit of these matters," Qiongsi was shocked.

"Of course, you wouldn't leak it," Chen Yu laughed. "Your grandfather has high intelligence. After meeting me and chatting for a few sentences, he guessed my intentions."

"Then what is the meaning of them all coming out now?" Qiongsi asked, somewhat confused.

"They are all coming out to see me because they want to make a choice between me and the God Lord," Chen Yu said leisurely. "The God Lord's gene serum can extend their lives."

"But there is a fatal flaw in the gene serum: the fused genes of various animals are extremely unstable. If this continues, their consciousness will be replaced by some kind of animal."

"By then, they will be true monsters, and no one will be able to save them."

"I know that. Do they think... you can help them?" Qiongsi asked.

"That's right. In fact, I can indeed help them," Chen Yu laughed. "So, they are coming out, and most likely they will choose me."

"Then... do we still need to hide our relationship?" Qiongsi asked.

"No need. Just let it be; it's time to show our cards," Chen Yu spread his hands. "Let's be frank with each other."

"Lao Shilaike has taught me a lesson today. It seems they knew about everything that has been happening in the family recently," Qiongsi said. "They just didn't want to come out and solve it, just to temper me?"

"That's right, just to temper you," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"They didn't give me any support. What if I had been defeated by those people?" Qiongsi's tone held quite a bit of resentment.

"I don't know about that. Perhaps they had a lot of confidence in you," Chen Yu said with a smile. "Don't underestimate your own abilities too much."
