The man looked up at Shen Yunhao, whose face was somewhat pale, and asked, "There should be some changes in you now?"
"Change?" Shen Yunhao was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized something, rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, and when he saw the scene on it, his expression changed drastically!
Beneath the skin of his arm, fine, mysterious golden lines, as thin as hair, were slowly emerging, as if drawn by some invisible force, gradually converging and contracting towards his palm!
No wonder Shen Yunhao was so shocked. These mysterious golden threads have only appeared when he was seriously injured and on the verge of death since he discovered them, without exception!
This is the first time we've seen such a strange reaction...
The man looked at the gold thread on his arm, remained silent for a long time, then gently clenched his fist, and the cluster of eerie blue flames in his palm went out.
At the same moment the blue flames dissipated, the golden threads on Shen Yunhao's arm also quickly dimmed, slowly disappeared, and vanished back under his skin.
Shen Yunhao swallowed hard, about to ask what was going on, but the other party preemptively asked a question, his tone unusually serious:
"These gold threads... does anyone else besides you know about them?"
Shen Yunhao took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and nodded, "Yes!"
The man didn't ask who those people were specifically, but immediately followed up with, "Are they trustworthy?"
"Absolutely believable!"
Shen Yunhao answered without the slightest hesitation.
Currently, only the girls closest to him should know about this mysterious golden thread, so it is absolutely credible.
Seeing Shen Yunhao's confidence, the man nodded. "That's good... However, I still have to remind you that it's best not to let others know about this thing, otherwise it will surely bring you to your death!"
After pondering for a moment, Shen Yunhao couldn't help but ask, "Senior! I hope you can enlighten me, what exactly is this thing? And why is it on me?"
The man lowered his head and sighed softly, a sigh filled with countless complex emotions: "Some things, knowing too much about them, won't do you any good..."
He looked out the window, his eyes flashing with blue light, as if he had pierced through time and space to see something from the distant past. "You just need to know that these golden threads are not something that should exist on your Tianji Continent."
"It is... the cause and effect that belongs to me."
"And you... in a way, are just an innocent victim caught in the crossfire."
Shen Yunhao: "..."
He was stunned speechless by this sudden answer. His biggest secret actually came from the cause and effect of this stranger from another world?
After a while, he suddenly smiled, a smile that carried a hint of relief: "Actually... senior may not know, this thing saved my life, not just once, but several times. So it seems that even if I was implicated... it's not entirely a bad thing."
Upon hearing this, the man raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise on his face. "Tsk tsk tsk, your attitude is commendable. Not bad, this thing can indeed save lives, but..."
"Its healing abilities only work on a specific group of people. For others, it instantly transforms into the most terrifying poison in the world! Just a tiny bit of it can kill a person..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao's eyes sharpened. "Senior, are you saying that I belong to a certain... special group?"
The man nodded and chuckled, "That's why I asked about your parents from the beginning. As I suspected, your family probably doesn't know much about your background..."
Shen Yunhao stroked his chin, his thoughts wandering.
If I do indeed possess some special bloodline, and I was indeed born in the Shen family, then wouldn't that mean... the entire Shen family is a "special group" like this?
This is clearly illogical, because the Shen family are just a group of ordinary people, and a large and powerful one at that. If they also possessed some kind of special power, they should have been discovered long ago...
So, it's highly likely that my bloodline comes from my mother, who died in childbirth...?
He was overwhelmed by the amount of information he received, and his mind was in turmoil. After pondering for a moment without finding a solution, he asked again, "So, senior, you specifically called me here today just to tell me all this? To tell me the origin and dangers of this golden thread?"
"After all... it's trouble I left behind, and someone has to clean it up. Luckily, you're in luck; Wu Shang discovered you first. If someone else had noticed the golden thread first... you'd be in real trouble now."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao's expression turned solemn, and he respectfully clasped his hands in a salute: "Thank you for the reminder, senior! I will certainly be more careful in the future and never let the secret of this golden thread be leaked!"
The man shook his head and said, "A reminder is one thing, but you've experienced it firsthand. Whenever you're seriously injured and on the verge of death, these golden threads appear automatically, completely beyond your control. In that situation, how can you possibly be careful? How can you hide them?"
Shen Yunhao opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.
Indeed, this golden thread is like an uncontrollable ultimate life-saving program, which is only passively triggered at the most dangerous moment, and he has no way to actively intervene in whether it appears or not.
It's impossible to guarantee that your clothes will be intact every time you compete with someone, right?
"This is the second thing I want to tell you today." The man looked into Shen Yunhao's eyes. "The blue flames on my body have a restraining effect on these golden threads, preventing them from automatically appearing and functioning under certain circumstances. However... in this way, your immortality will be rendered ineffective!"
"Immortal and indestructible?!"
These four words were like a thunderclap, exploding directly in Shen Yunhao's mind!
He had always thought that these mysterious golden threads were just an extremely powerful healing method, but he never imagined that they represented such a heaven-defying and illogical bug-like ability!
Seeing the undisguised shock on Shen Yunhao's face, the man's lips curled into a smile. "What? Tempted?"
However, after a brief moment of shock, Shen Yunhao shook his head without hesitation.
"I'm just a little surprised..." Shen Yunhao's voice had returned to calm. "I never thought that there was such a thing as 'immortality' in this world, let alone that... such a setting would actually be reflected in myself!"
He raised his head and looked at the man with clear eyes: "But if this 'immortality' comes at the cost of losing myself or being completely bound by some unknown cause and effect, then I would rather not have it."
Upon hearing this, the man did not show any surprise, but deep in his eyes, a clear look of admiration appeared.
Even among those ancient monsters who have lived for thousands of years, how many could realize the potential traps and costs hidden behind the possibility of "immortality" in such a short time?
This kind of mindset is quite rare.
