Chapter 493: Escape

The detector was only a small interlude. Ren Baqian and Yang Sen continued discussing Teng Yue's torn limbs.

Despite the short time that they had spent studying the remains, there was one single discovery that was clearly apparent.

Since ancient times, no human had ever been so close to attaining immortality.

There were a good number of people out there who would throw away their entire fortune for a shot at doubling their lifespan.

The implications that this discovery might bring to society were enormous.

A typical person would take around 17 years of education to get from primary school to graduating from university. That left about 36 good working years.

If he or she continued to pursue a Master's Degree or PhD, then that left only 30-odd years. After reaching a brief career peak, a person following this path would continue down a road of decline.
