Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

[Han Li: Brother, you overestimate me. I don't have that kind of ability at all.]

Han Li quickly offered an explanation in the group chat.

His Heavenly Bottle has the effect of controlling the laws of time.

But Zhu Chen entrusting him with such an important task really startled him.

[Zhu Chen: Don't be modest. As the saying goes, all things possess spirituality, and all paths lead to the same goal. The Zerg Queen's training of warriors, especially designated high-ranking warriors, requires massive and rare resources: celestial herbs, rare minerals, energy crystals... These are hard currency in any world. Your Palm Heaven Bottle contains the laws of time, which can accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs, turning the rotten into the miraculous, and can even condense a mysterious green liquid, greatly benefiting the evolution of living beings. This is simply an unparalleled tool for solving resource problems!]

Zhu Chen's words directly pointed out the key point.

The most difficult part of raising a million world lord-level insect army has never been the technology or the abilities of the insect queen, but the terrifying resource consumption that is enough to bring down a medium-sized star system!
Time is also a cost.

The Palm Heaven Bottle can solve both the problems of "resource growth cycle" and "promoting the evolution of some creatures" at the same time.

[Han Li: Brother, although my Heavenly Bottle has the effect of accelerating the ripening of spiritual herbs and condensing green liquid, this bottle is profound and I have not yet fully mastered it. Moreover, both ripening and condensing spiritual liquid require time. As for the million-strong army of World Lord Insects... I'm afraid even if I exert all my abilities, it would still be a drop in the ocean.]

Old Han began to pour out his grievances with practiced ease.

This is his usual style, but what he said is basically true.

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to complete the task Zhu Chen had assigned him.

Luo Feng: Third Brother, there's no need to worry too much. Zerg breeding is also phased and cannot be accomplished overnight. In the initial stage, we can first breed a smaller, lower-level vanguard legion as a seed and experiment.

As for resources, I will do my best to collect them in my world. The role of your Heavenly Bottle is more as an "accelerator" and "catalyst" for key resources, especially when cultivating high-level Zerg units or encountering certain special resources with extremely long growth cycles, where it can play a decisive role.

Luo Feng tactfully took over the conversation, which relieved Han Li's pressure.

Zhu Chen: Luo Feng is right. This is not something that can be accomplished in a day. It requires long-term planning. Han Li, your Heavenly Bottle is a key link in whether this plan can reach its ideal height, but you don't need to bear all the pressure alone.

We are all one team, and we will work together to collect resources. You just need to use the Palm Heaven Bottle to speed things up for us at crucial moments.

Moreover... completely mastering the Heavenly Bottle and exploring its origins in time would likely bring immeasurable benefits to your own path, which could very well be a fortuitous opportunity for you.

Han Li's mind raced as he read Zhu Chen's words.

He certainly knew the importance of the Heavenly Bottle and had always longed to have complete control over it.

Zhu Chen is right. Participating in such a grand plan and coming into contact with the cultivation of creatures like the Zerg Queen might allow him to understand the mysteries of life and time from another perspective, thereby accelerating the refining of the Heavenly Bottle.

Risks and opportunities coexist.

This aligns perfectly with the operating logic of their cultivation world.

Although he usually prefers a less risky approach to things.

[Han Li: Alright, since you've said so, I'll do my best. However, we still need to discuss the specifics of how to cooperate and how to hand over resources.]

After thinking for a moment, Han Li finally agreed.

no way.

Because they're brothers.

How could he not help his brother when he was in trouble?

[Zhu Chen: Alright, you two can discuss the specific details privately. Luo Feng, you should return to your world and focus on the Zerg mother nest. Han Li, you should also prepare early. Everyone else, stay in your positions and strive to improve yourselves. I'll go back to handle the Netherworld matters first. In the future war against the alien realm, everyone can come and help me maintain order.] [Xiao Yan: Don't worry, Big Brother, I will definitely work hard to improve myself and at the same time recruit some powerful experts. I will definitely go to the Imperial Pass to help you resist the alien realm!]

[Lin Dong: That's right. Wherever there's a fight, even if I, Lin Dong, am alone, I will definitely come to help!]

[Wang Lin: We cultivators are not afraid of a battle. I, Wang, will do my utmost to come and help!]

[Qian Renxue: Although I am the weakest and live in a world that isn't even a high-level plane, I will fight to the death if my elder brother needs me!]

Yang Qi: I'll come help then too!

[Xiao Yan: Holy crap, Brother Yang Qi was actually diving!]

[Yang Qi: I'm currently in Thunder Emperor Cave, and I just glanced at the chat during a break... I didn't expect you guys to be here!]

[Xiao Yan: We're helping out with Big Brother. It's a real shame you couldn't come this time. Big Brother just single-handedly suppressed over a dozen sect leaders—he was incredibly awesome!]

Yang Qi: I've fought against the sect leaders of Perfect World before; those people are indeed powerful. It seems Brother Zhu Chen's cultivation has improved rapidly recently!

[Xiao Yan: Absolutely! My elder brother is a genius beyond compare; he can't be judged by ordinary standards!]

Everyone in the chat group echoed Zhu Chen's suggestion.

Even Yang Qi, who was searching for opportunities in the Thunder Emperor Cave, came out to express his opinion.

If Zhu Chen needs his help, he will lend a hand.

Looking at his brothers' replies, Zhu Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

……

After discussing the next strategic plan with Xiao Yan and the others, Zhu Chen's consciousness returned to reality.

He noticed that Ye Qingxian was looking at him thoughtfully with her beautiful eyes, and he immediately smiled at her.

Clearly, when he was communicating with Xiao Yan and the others in the group chat, this fairy from the future had already noticed something amiss.

"It seems you already have a backup plan?"

Ye Qingxian's lips curled slightly as she asked Zhu Chen with a hint of curiosity.

Zhu Chen smiled noncommittally, then said seriously, "Since I have decided to return to the Upper Realm to settle the karma with the Underworld, I will not leave Ling'er and the others here, so that they can become a weakness that those people can use to blackmail me in the future."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxian nodded in agreement: "You're right. The forces in the Upper Realm may be wary of your strength on the surface and dare not come again, but in secret, there may be some treacherous and cunning people who will do despicable things like kidnapping and coercion. The Fire Kingdom has a close relationship with you, and if you leave, they will indeed be in danger."

"I have a suggestion for you: you can bring that little empress and other important people to the upper realm and settle them within the territory of the Peacock Clan or the Celestial Clan. With the protection of these two clans, you will have nothing to worry about."

Ye Qingxian's suggestion was very pertinent.

But after listening to her words, Zhu Chen smiled and shook his head.

"No, I think you've misunderstood. I didn't mean to take away some people, I meant to take away everyone..."
