Chapter 1912: What is the Goal?

Qiongsi was speechless; was succeeding the family really that difficult?

Soon, Lao Shilaike and the four elders of the Family Council emerged. These old men were not young, but each one was a person who had lived to become as cunning as a fox.

"Mr. Chen, after discussion, we unanimously believe this matter is quite important, so we wanted to come out together to see you," Lao Shilaike said.

"I don't think it's necessary," Chen Yu said with hidden meaning. "I am simply curious about who exactly the person who gave you the Gene Modification is."

"Although his things have flaws, one has to admit that his things are indeed quite formidable."

"If you are truly unwilling to tell me, I will not force you; there is no need for you to go to such great lengths."

"Mr. Chen, isn't the person who gave us the Gene Modification your target?" Lao Shilaike smiled.

"Target? I don't quite understand what you mean." Chen Yu revealed a look of confusion.

Of course, this trace of confusion was feigned; he had come here precisely for the God Lord.

"Mr. Chen, there is a saying in Huaxia that an open person does not speak in riddles. We are very grateful for your help to our Shilaike Family Elder Group, so let us speak frankly, shall we?" Lao Shilaike said earnestly.

"Fine, let's speak frankly." Chen Yu nodded slightly. He sighed and said, "Your Shilaike Family Elder Group is truly a think tank."

"I feel that my intention in coming here was not very obvious, so how did you know my purpose? Is my purpose written on my face?"

"Mr. Chen's purpose was not clear. At the beginning, I also thought Mr. Chen simply wanted to know where the Gene Modification came from." Lao Shilaike smiled slightly. "But our Shilaike Family's intelligence system is very strong."

"Although we haven't figured out the relationship between Mr. Chen and the person behind the scenes, we have figured out Mr. Chen's purpose," Lao Shilaike said.

"Good, good. It seems the Shilaike Family's think tank far exceeds my imagination." Chen Yu nodded slightly. "That's right, my target is the person behind you; he is called the God Lord."

"As expected..." The four elders looked at each other; Chen Yu had indeed come here with other purposes.

"Mr. Chen knows who he is?" Lao Shilaike looked at Chen Yu in surprise.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Chen Yu saying the two words "God Lord" still shocked him quite a bit.

"Since you've said it, my purpose in coming here is the person behind the scenes who makes the Gene Modification for you, so how could I not know who he is?" Chen Yu smiled and said, "He is called the God Lord, right?"

"That's right." Lao Shilaike steadied himself and said, "Since Mr. Chen has chosen to be frank, let us also lay our cards on the table. We of the older generation have indeed used the God Lord's Gene Modification."

"His Gene Modification can make our lifespan reach one hundred and fifty years or even longer, but as you can see, all sorts of mutations occur on our bodies."

"The mutation is only the superficial appearance," Chen Yu said leisurely. "The Gene Modification is extremely unstable. If this continues for a long time, your human genes will be suppressed, and who knows what kind of animal genes will grow out."

"By then, heaven knows what kind of monsters you will become. At that time, you will not recognize your own kin, and I fear the entire Shilaike Family will be destroyed by your hands."

Lao Shilaike and the various elders exchanged glances, and a trace of deep fear appeared in their eyes.

It was not that they had never thought of these consequences, because every time they lost control, it was terrifying.

When they lost control, they had no reason to speak of at all. If they truly lost control completely one day, the first to be blood-washed would be the descendants of their Shilaike Family.

"Mr. Chen... is everything you said true?" The group was shocked.

"Of course it is true. I can save you for a moment, but I cannot save you for a lifetime." Chen Yu shook his head. "If you firmly believe that the God Lord's gene technology can grant you longevity, no one can save you."

"Then, can the God Lord's gene modification technology not be improved at all?" an elder asked.

"This is already the limit of his technology," Chen Yu laughed. "You don't really think he can break through the Heavenly Dao, do you?"

"He calls himself the Creator, or even a god, but only he himself knows that he is nothing more than a false god."

"No one can break through the technical barriers of Gene Modification because this is the Heavenly Dao. He himself knows the Anhei Senlin law; there are some limits he cannot break through."

The Elder Group fell into another Silence. Although they were unwilling to believe Chen Yu's words, reality told them that Chen Yu's words were the most credible.

"Is there really no method for longevity in this world?" an elder muttered to himself, saying with some unwillingness.

"There is, but that is to change one's own destiny through one's own cultivation, such as our Huaxia Dharma Cultivator." Chen Yu said, "Even if one does not practice Dharma, we in Huaxia have many methods to make you live long."

"And that is natural longevity, not violating any Heavenly Dao rules. But unfortunately, because you have undergone Gene Modification, those methods of longevity are already useless to you."

"Then what about you? Can you make us return to normal and also have longevity?" an elder asked again.

"I can guarantee that you will return to normal and be able to die of old age with a lifespan exceeding that of a normal person; as for the rest, I cannot guarantee it." Chen Yu shook his head.

"Can we not be like you?" an elder couldn't help but ask.

"No, because I attained it through cultivation; this path is not feasible." Chen Yu shook his head. "Give up on that thought; humans are destined to die."

"Even for us, when we cultivate to the extreme, we will eventually face death one day; this is something no one can escape."

"We have paid so much just for immortality. The God Lord is researching immortality in the true sense. He promised us that as soon as there is a result, our Shilaike Family will be the first batch to become immortal."

An elder muttered, "And that is not just longevity; that is immortality, never to die."

"If you are willing to believe him, then just pretend I never came." Chen Yu shook his head. He sighed and said, "It is hard to persuade a dying ghost with kind words; you had better take care of yourselves."

He stood up. "I am leaving the Shilaike Family now."

"You cannot leave yet." An elder raised his head and stared at Chen Yu. "At least not until we have made up our minds."

"Do you think it's interesting to play this game with me?" Chen Yu sneered.

"You are very strong, but I fear you will never know the true foundation of the Shilaike Family," an elder sneered.
