Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

As time went by, the universe became increasingly chaotic. In order to obtain more resources to withstand the great calamity before it arrived, all the major powers were constantly expanding outwards.

Especially after the Divine Moon Dynasty and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion announced their alliance, other super powers also entered the fray, and some even began to expand outwards.

The entire universe was in a state of chaos, while the Great Xia Dynasty was thriving.

In the star regions controlled by the Great Xia Dynasty, commerce and trade have become increasingly developed, and the flow of people between different star regions has become more and more frequent. Every time Lu Chen saw those starships coming and going, he felt that he had not transmigrated to a cultivation world, but to a technological universe.

Of course, only the Great Xia Dynasty currently possesses so many technological creations.

As the chaos in the universe intensifies, Lu Chen is also trying to help his women improve their strength.

He created more bodies, and now each of his wives and concubines can receive one of his bodies. He cultivates with his wives and concubines almost every day.

Even those like Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou who didn't like cultivation, Lu Chen would force them to cultivate.

Lu Chen's biggest worry was that some of them would die in the Great Calamity of the Epoch. If they all died, then so be it.

If we can't live together, dying together is a good option; at least we won't be sad when we die.

But if someone dies while someone else survives the great calamity of the era, it is a kind of suffering for the survivors.

Lu Chen hopes that his woman and his child can survive. The only thing he can do now is to supervise their cultivation and try to improve their strength.

In this way, they will have a better chance of surviving when the great calamity of the era arrives.

Inside the small courtyard covered with greenery, the chirping of birds could be heard.

The courtyard features artificial hills and flowing water, as well as pavilions and terraces.

At the door of a certain room stood several slightly restless maids, their faces flushed.

At this moment, inside the room.

Zhou Youyou, lying on the soft couch, turned her head slightly, revealing a pitiful look, and looked at Lu Chen behind her, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I... I don't want to cultivate anymore."

Lu Chen said seriously, "Youyou, you can't be so lazy. Look at your sister, how seriously she cultivates, and she never complains."

Upon hearing this, a tear welled up in Zhou Youyou's big eyes, making her look like she was about to cry.

Although cultivation was painless for her, she still couldn't handle too much mental stimulation.

At this moment, Zhou Youyou turned her head slightly and looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was cultivating to the side.

Lu Chen's clone and Zhou Xiaoxiao were embracing face to face, their lips touching, and Zhou Xiaoxiao could only make muffled sounds.

Zhou Youyou felt a little helpless. No wonder her sister never complained or said anything. She couldn't even speak, so of course she wouldn't complain.

*Sobbing*

His Majesty has changed...

His Majesty wasn't like this before; he wasn't this cruel back then.

I won't force her to cultivate.

Seeing Zhou Youyou staring at Zhou Xiaoxiao, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Stop looking at your sister, continue your cultivation, hurry up and circulate your energy."

Seeing that Lu Chen was still unwilling to let her go, Zhou Youyou had no choice but to continue channeling her inner energy.

Just then, a woman's voice came from the doorway, "Your Majesty, there is important intelligence."

Hearing this, Zhou Youyou's eyes lit up. Although Lu Chen had many clones, he still needed to free up one to handle things at this time.

Can't I just rest by myself?

Thinking of this, Zhou Youyou quickly said, "Your Majesty, please go and attend to your matters. I will work hard to cultivate, so please don't trouble yourself any further."

Upon hearing Zhou Youyou's words, Lu Chen's lips curled into a slight smile. The next moment, he casually created a clone.

Zhou Youyou was stunned when she saw a clone appear out of nowhere in the room.

Immediately afterwards, the clone left the room, and Zhou Youyou continued to cultivate under Lu Chen's encouragement.

After Lu Chen's clone walked out of the room, he glanced at Bai Qingqing, who was wearing white armor.

The smooth, white armor clung tightly to Bai Qingqing's slender waist, perfectly showcasing her curvaceous figure.

Seeing Lu Chen staring straight at her, Bai Qingqing was slightly taken aback. She knew that Lu Chen was urging his wives and concubines to cultivate, and she herself had been spurred on by Lu Chen's main body many times.

Bai Qingqing quickly diverted Lu Chen's attention, "Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Legion discovered a large number of Heavenly Demons while patrolling the edge of the universe."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately withdrew his lecherous gaze and his expression turned serious.

Immediately afterwards, he sensed the location of the Thirteenth Legion of the War Dragon Army. The next moment, his Emperor Sub-Avatar and Bai Qingqing appeared on the starship of the Thirteenth Legion.

Meanwhile, the people on the starship were still engaged in a heated discussion.

"That must be the Heavenly Demon, right?"

"How can the Heavenly Demon be so weak?"

"What do you mean we're weak? It's because we're too strong!"

"I never imagined we would be able to annihilate the Heavenly Demon so easily!"

"But speaking of which, why are there so many demons in this place?"

"Rumor has it that before the Great Cataclysm of the Epoch arrives, a large number of Heavenly Demons will appear. Could it be...?"

"Alas, the great calamity is indeed coming."

……

Just as the War Dragon soldiers inside the starship were discussing amongst themselves, two figures appeared inside the starship.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Lu Chen, the soldiers immediately stopped their discussion and bowed in unison, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

Lu Chen nodded. "No need for formalities."

"Let's watch the video of the encounter with the Heavenly Demon."

"The captain quickly took out the projector and turned on the footage recorded by the starship."

In the scene, a female soldier wearing the uniform of the War Dragon Army is patrolling in a small spaceship when suddenly, a huge octopus-like monster appears at the edge of the dark universe.

The monster's black tentacles quickly wrapped around the spaceship. Just then, the woman inside the spaceship launched all of its weapons. In a short while, the demon, which resembled a small planet, was blasted into pieces.

Then, all sorts of monsters emanating black mist emerged from the edge of the universe. Upon seeing this, the commander of the Thirteenth Legion immediately ordered all the starships to line up, and then various weapons were deployed in turn.

Soon, the monsters emanating black mist were all destroyed by the starships of the Thirteenth Legion. Later, the legion commander sent people to investigate the monsters emanating black mist, and they discovered that the monsters all possessed a strong demonic power.

Not only did they possess the power of the Heavenly Demon, but they also had Black Gold. Black Gold is the substance within the Heavenly Demon's body that suppresses its rampage. When Black Gold appeared, the Thirteenth Legion realized that the monsters they had been slaying were all Heavenly Demons, so they quickly reported what had happened.

After watching the battle footage recorded by the starship, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.

All of this matched the information he had received: before the Great Cataclysm of the Epoch began, the entire universe would fall into turmoil and darkness, and the Heavenly Demons would also launch a massive invasion at this time.

The Great Calamity of the Yuan Era is less than ten thousand years away, and the Heavenly Demon is indeed due to appear. (End of Chapter)
