Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 635 - Effects of Regaining Youth



Chapter 635: Effects of Regaining Youth

Meng Chao wanted to tell that Dragon City was a society ruled by law and no one would dare to cut him up in broad daylight.

But when he remembered what his sister went through in his previous life and the brutal training he went through in Ghost Tribe’s training camp, he realized that Dragon City was just too big. There were plenty of dark places where hope did not visit, and many people were willing to trample on all laws, morals, and rules to survive in the mysterious Other World and declare themselves king or queen.

“It’s true!” A’Ji thought that he did not believe in him, so he defended himself hurriedly. “You don’t find regaining youth attractive because you’re currently at the best period of your life. You’re at the golden age when you want to carry out your ambitions. Of course you wouldn’t want to become a brat who runs around with snot all over his face!

“But what about the powerful people who are currently old and dying? Take the nine bastards who are in control of the nine mega corporations. To them, the temptation of living their lives again is stronger than anything else. They would do anything it takes to gain the secret of regaining their youth. They would even cast aside their families, businesses, and Dragon City!”

“Then tell me that secret!” Meng Chao said. “I find what they said about the ancient ruins and supernatural powers belonging to all humans very reasonable. Since this is a secret from the ancient ruins, there’s no problem in you telling the secret and everyone trying to figure it out, right?”

“I don’t want those bastards to learn my secret! If I had to tell someone, I’d only tell Battle God Lei Zongchao, and the prerequisite is that he admits that he’s wrong and sincerely repents on his stupid ways!”

A’Ji mumbled before he changed his tone and said with a glum face, “No, the problem isn’t whether I’m willing to tell my secret or not. The problem is, I don’t even know the secret behind regaining my youth!

“It’s by pure coincidence that I regained my youth. I was just lucky.

“Jin Wanhao might have obtained part of the theory on how to regain his youth from the ancient ruins, but with Earthlings’ current technological standards, he couldn’t replicate what he saw and create the drug to regain his youth.

“Even after he spent a lot of effort in creating this secret lab and gathering all the treasures in the world over decades and even hired Red Brows Su Lun’s mother to help him, he still didn’t manage to figure it out, and she was a top-class, genius pharmacist.

“In the end, Jin Wanhao went through spirit energy deviation. He flailed around and knocked over more than one hundred raw materials, causing them to mix together. They turned into a catalyst, but no one knows what exactly happened, so no one would be able to replicate it. That’s how he was able to regain his youth.

“You should know just how chaotic a person’s vitality magnetic field is when they enter spirit energy deviation. They just keep on creating all sorts of strange and chaotic spirit energy magnetic fields in their bodies.

“The worst is that he was going through his regular cultivation and was not conducting an experiment to regain his youth. So, Jin Wanhao did not make proper preparations and didn’t record the entire process of regaining his youth. He had no idea what materials entered his body, nor their form, density, and quality.

“After he turned into me, his brain cells were all renewed, and I forgot some details about the process and the principles regarding regaining youth!

“If you want to master the secrets of a technology, the most important thing is to verify and recreate a process. But how are you supposed to recreate this sort of process?”

That made sense.

If A’Ji was telling the truth, then his situation was similar to that of Meng Chao.

Both of them were smiled upon by Lady Luck, and what they gained was difficult to recreate.

“You must understand it now, right? There is only one key to uncovering the secret of regaining youth, and that’s me,” A’Ji said. “Even though I don’t think that catching me and cutting me up for research purposes will definitely help someone find out how to regain their youth, even if there’s just a slim chance, those bastards with all their authority will definitely do it without hesitation!

“Big Brother Chao, since I helped you capture Red Brows Su Lun and the Vortex as well as saved the lair, help me out, please. Don’t let those bastards catch me!

“D-Didn’t you say that you want to protect the order of Dragon City and don’t want the city to fall into chaos? The case of one’s cells regrowing and regaining youth is an unprecedented, technological shock that humans have never encountered since they started recording their history. Our morals, laws, societal customs, societal contracts, and the entire civilization is built on the foundation that a human’s lifespan is one hundred years.

“If the powerful people became in control of technology to regain youth, this would definitely have a severe impact on the existing knowledge that has lasted for millions of years in our civilization! It’ll cause major chaos! Think about it, Big Brother Chao, please!”

“Oh? You seem to understand the negative consequences of regaining youth.” Meng Chao looked at A’Ji coldly. “Then, why did you ignore the impacts of this technology to human civilization and research it in secret for decades underground?!”

“Well…” A’Ji said with a red face. “That’s karma left by Jin Wanhao. It has nothing to do with me. I’m just the innocent A’Ji from Leprosy Village.”

“What a good way to shirk responsibility.” Meng Chao snorted. “In any case, no matter what sort of crazy, enraging thing you did, you’ll be fine as long as you turn Jin Wanhao into your scapegoat.”

“Big Brother Chao, I really understand my mistakes now, but things are already done, and I can only grow slowly. It’s impossible for me to become Saber Jin Wanhao again in a whoosh, right?” A’Ji said.

“Thank goodness this technology hasn’t spread out yet. Aside from us, no one knows about the secret of regaining youth. As long as you pretend that this matter never happened and just think that I was rambling nonsense, it won’t have any impact on our civilization.

“F-From now on, I’ll definitely learn my lesson and swear to follow as well as respect you. I’ll imitate your fearless spirit of contributing to Dragon City. I won’t try to get any profit for myself and will just benefit the people, even if it means getting all my bones crushed.

“I-I’ll use the remaining power and wealth of Jin Wanhao to fight for our people, our home, and our civilization so that I can make up for the wrongs the Underground Emperor did in the past, alright?”

A’Ji placed his hands together and put on an innocent and sincere face.

Meng Chao would better eat his own foot that believe him.

But when he thought about it carefully, the technology of regaining youth was indeed like controllable transmigration technology. It could completely change the direction of their civilization.

Its impact on human civilization would be just as great as that of the latter.

In his previous life, Dragon City had not encountered this problem before.

It won against the monster civilization and started marching into the Other World. They encountered dwarves, elves, the bloodfolk, the dragonfolk, and other races.

Even if they did not mention their fighting abilities and the state of their civilization for the time being, the innate abilities of many of those races had indeed stirred up great interest among Earthlings, and chaos raged in the city.

Take the secret of longevity possessed by elves as an example. This secret allowed them to live for thousands of years.

Because of it, the ambitious people in their city secretly captured countless elves to research them, and it stirred up a bloody war between Earthlings and elves. It was so bad that they wouldn’t stop until one side was annihilated.

Many people who valued their own lives more than their people and home then betrayed Dragon City without hesitation and joined the enemy camp.

Plenty of those people were bastards who had a lot of power in their hands, just as A’Ji said.

Their betrayal dealt a severe blow to Dragon Cityand set it down the inevitable path of destruction.

Humans were once the Extraordinary Disaster infamous in the Other World, but in the end, they lost and were reduced to ashes in the flames of the apocalypse. But a huge reason behind it was not just the war.

Even at the eve of Dragon City’s destruction, Earthling’s steel army could sweep through everything in its path in a head-on battle. There were few races willing to fight against Earthlings’ heavy armored squads.

But all sorts of unbelievable technology of the Other World challenged Earthlings’ morals, laws, and limits, which sent their thoughts into chaos, and the order in the city collapsed. This was the most vital reason behind why Dragon City was destroyed.

A’Ji was right.

The sturdiest fortresses always crumbled from within.

Before the entire society went through a sufficient amount of mental preparation and prepared an adequate amount of materials for this sort of thing, he could not reveal that someone had regained his youth.

Right then, Meng Chao had not yet gained the power to control Dragon City.

Once the secret youth was revealed, there was a high chance that A’Ji would end up in the hands of the powerful old coots, and Meng Chao would not be able to control whatever would happen next.

The problem was, the strategies those old coots cooked up in his previous life led to Dragon City’s destruction.

If they continued ruling over Dragon City in this life, would they be able to develop a new path that would lead to victory?

Meng Chao highly doubted it.

Perhaps it would be better for Dragon City’s future if they replaced those old coots with a batch of new blood that was eager to make progress.

But…

Meng Chao cast a guilty look at Lu Siya.

She immediately understood what he meant.

“I’m fine with it. I’ll listen to you, as long as you’re happy with it,” she said with a shrug.

Meng Chao was a little stunned. He exchanged a look with A’Ji and asked tentatively, “Um, Big Sis Ya, don’t you want to present the secret of regaining youth to your grandpa? He’s the creator of Sky Pillar Corporation, after all.”

“Am I supposed to hand it over to him and let him regain his youth so that he can control Sky Pillar Corporation for another fifty years or even one hundred years? What good is that supposed to do to me?”

The Queen Bee literally had the word “ambition” stamped on her face. “After my grandpa finally died, my dad would still be around. If my dad also mastered the technology to regain youth, he would also control Sky Pillar Corporation from fifty to one hundred years. When it’d finally be my turn, it’d be so far into the future that it’ll be basically impossible for me anymore.

“Oh, and I’m being optimistic here and thinking that each person can only regain their youth once. What if they can regain their youth multiple times? Isn’t that the same as being immortal? That’s the same as being ruled by a group of old coots with loads of power, who are really strong and will never die. I’ll never be able to stand out and will have to forever pretend to be obedient to those bastards. Would you like living in this sort of world?”

“Um…” Meng Chao really wanted to say that there was a limit to cell splitting and regeneration. No one could do it repeatedly. Even those as strong as the elves reached the end of their lives once they were thousands of years old.

Besides, based on what he saw from the elves, it was not good for the growth of a civilization when its people could live long lives.

Despite the fact that elves could live thousands of years, they were not the masters of the Other World. Instead, they were often defeated by the races who could only live for decades or one-two hundred years. These races were filled with a sense of danger and believed that they had to seize whatever time they had to achieve their goals.

It led to the elves being defeated so badly that they could only run and hide in forests and caves.
