"I know," Shen Mochen nodded.
His latest superpower was nominally called the Blood Locking Device, but in reality, its capabilities far surpassed re life preservation.
Catherine solemnly said, "Let confirm again, your newest ability allows you to set a 'save point' for a person, and when they receive a fatal attack or are on the brink of death, their body will automatically revert back to the state it was in at the ti of the save point, but their mories will be retained, correct?"
"That's right, at present the protection can last up to nearly a week, and furthermore, this superpower can be used an unlimited number of tis on a person," Shen Mochen said.
Catherine reconfird, "You understand what your superpower implies, right?"
Shen Mochen nodded gravely, "I understand."
This ant that "immortality," sothing emperors and generals of antiquity could only dream of, could be achieved by Shen Mochen!
Even Catherine, after knowing nearly all of Shen Mochen's secrets, was still shocked by this brand new ability!
If Shen Mochen's abilities prior were the ultimate tool in the great gas of nation-states, now, this power could drive all leaders in this world mad!
Any healthy person could easily live for over a thousand years with the aid of Shen Mochen's superpower! And with the speed of human technological advancent today, this was nothing short of eternal life!
Immortality… Catherine and Shen Mochen exchanged looks, ultimately leaving the word unspoken, but both understood the implications it held!
"Phew…" Catherine's heart thudded violently; who could resist the temptation of eternal life.
"You really are… terrifying." Catherine looked at Shen Mochen, her eyes actually flashing with a hint of fear.
"Don't ntion you, even I'm freaking out," Shen Mochen said with a pained smile, "This is like a child holding gold."
At least for now, Shen Mochen didn't have the power to resist the entire world. Not to ntion resisting the world, even a prepared Transcendent couldn't withstand it.
Catherine spoke with unprecedented seriousness, "If this gets out, even the Alexandrov Family and the entire Roman Empire couldn't protect you."
Not to ntion the Roman Empire, even if Huaqi and the Roman, the two poles of the world, worked together, they couldn't protect Shen Mochen.
After all, Shen Mochen couldn't help everyone. Once Huaqi and Roman wish to monopolize, their top ranks would imdiately be torn apart by the furious public of their own countries.
As soon as Shen Mochen's ability was exposed, the entire world, every single person would imdiately fall into endless madness and turmoil because of him. Even if Shen Mochen died, it would only be passed off as a feigned death.
"I understand, so for now, you're the only one who knows," Shen Mochen exhaled.
"The only one who knows?"
Catherine was montarily stunned, not that she doubted Shen Mochen would publicize the matter, but she was still very pleased that he chose to share such a pivotal secret with her alone.
Although she also understood that part of the reason was because Shen Mochen trusted her to keep the secret.
"Yes, Yin Caiyu knows too, if she can hear," Shen Mochen said, shrugging in a falsely casual manner.
These days, he had genuinely been in agony but now he finally had soone to share it with. When he first acquired the superpower, he was quite happy, naively thinking it was rely a life-saving miracle, but after its first use, he suddenly realized it wasn't as simple as it appeared.
He had even conducted an experint for this. He cut his own arm and then, after using the life-saving superpower, he shot himself the next day.
The result was that after he recovered, the cut was still there. In other words, his body indeed automatically reverted back to the state it was in when the superpower was applied.
His body had reverted to the state it had been in the day before.
If he shot himself a week after using his life-saving superpower, then... his body would revert to how it had been a week prior.
All he needed to do was to keep using it on himself like that, and for him, the only ti that would pass for his body was the brief mont from when he recovered to when he cast the spell again.
For Shen Mochen, casting this minor spell on himself took less than a second... even when using it on soone else, it wouldn't take much longer.
To exchange a week for just a few seconds, minutes, or even hours was to step into Immortality!
In Shen Mochen's own words, he was so strong that he even scared himself.
"You really trust , telling this secret. Aren't you afraid I'll tie you up and take you to the Roman Empire?"
It seed Catherine wanted to ease the tension by throwing out a scary suggestion playfully.
"If you can take Yin Caiyu, Xia Qingrou, Han Muxue, and Cai Yuncui... and all of them over together, then I'm not totally against the idea," Shen Mochen said earnestly.
"Keep dreaming... even if you were God incarnate... you'd still belong to and only !"
Catherine bit Shen Mochen's lips, kissing him so fiercely, as if she wanted to forget all the previous tension and unease along with the raw desire!
"This kiss also counts as one I've let you have," Catherine said while sitting on Shen Mochen's lap, her breath heavy and legs trembling slightly.
"Since you've let it happen, how about letting it happen a few more tis!" Shen Mochen licked his lips, which tasted like mint.
Catherine stared at Shen Mochen, "That depends on how you behave... By the way, am I really the only one who knows your secret?"
"I've only truly told you, but..."
Catherine's expression turned severe, "You're not going to tell Liu Chaoyan found out because you talk in your sleep, are you?"
When Liu Chaoyan sleepwalked into Shen Mochen's bed, Fuzi had not left and naturally reported everything in detail when she returned.
"That's not it, I never talk in my sleep," Shen Mochen scratched his head, "But she's really too cunning. By guessing and tricking...she figured out almost everything."
Seeing Catherine about to explode, Shen Mochen hastily added, "But she only knows I have an ability that can save soone's life in a pinch. She doesn't know the specifics, so it's not possible for her to guess that!"
Catherine's expression softened sowhat, "I've told you before, Liu Chaoyan is unfathomable. I don't even want to deal with her much. I told you to be careful, and yet..."
"It's not that I want to shift the bla... Alright, let's say it was my fault, I'm paying a lot more attention now!"
"Hmm, it looks like she's keeping your secret hidden as well... We still don't know her intentions, so be more cautious from now on!"
"Speaking of which, is the Liu Family... strong?" Shen Mochen asked.
"Not very strong..." Catherine pondered for a mont, "As far as I know, the Liu Family is nominally the oldest Family in Yu Huai City and also has a prestigious reputation in Gaotang State. But the older the family doesn't necessarily an the stronger they are. The Liu Family has declined quite a bit over the generations, so they're sowhat like impressive-looking but hallow. And this isn't even a secret; even an outsider like knows."
"So that's why their family is forming a marriage alliance with the Zhao Family?"
"Right, that's typical behavior within the nobility circle. Old Money that's gradually losing power and New Money that's swiftly rising tend to intermarry, one side wants profit, the other prestige, fulfilling each other's needs."
"If it's for her family, wouldn't seducing be a faster way?" Shen Mochen pointed at himself.
